Nightly street scene on Sichuan Road (四川北路) in Shanghai.

In the center there is a 上海特产超市, "Shanghai Specialty Supermarket". This sells products that you'd get cheaper at other places, as so called "Shanghai specialties". At least this particular shop is cheaper than the similar themed rip-off stores around Yu Garden.

Blackbird fighting with a worm

Not what you'd expect to see walking along Cullen Beach, but there he was chirruping away. He kept waddling around and falling in those huge (for him) footprints, then struggled to get out again, all the while calling for mummy. Ordinarily I leave nature to sort itself out, but it was heartbreaking to watch and we couldn't just leave him there all on his own with an incoming tide so intervened and did eventually successfully reunite him with his family.

♫ Van Halen - Running With the Devil ♫

I live my life like there's no tomorrow

And all I've got I had to steal

Least I don't need to beg or borrow

Yes, I'm living at a pace that kills

Runnin' with the devil

Runnin' with the devil

I'll tell y'all about it

I found the simple life ain't so simple

When I jumped out on that road

I got no love, no love you'd call real

Ain't got nobody waiting at home

"This is ground control to Major Tom

You've really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

But it's time to guide the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to ground control

I've left forevermore

And I'm floating in most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today

For here am I sitting in a tin can

Far above the world

The planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do

Though I've flown one hundred thousand miles

I'm feeling very still

And before too long I know it's time to go

Our commander comes down back to earth, and knows"

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stoney ground

There's no room, no space to rent in this town

You're out of luck, and the reason that you had to care

The traffic is stuck, and you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place

Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day

Sky falls, you feel like

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

You're on the road, but you've got no destination

You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination

You love this town even if that doesn't ring true

You've been all over, and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

It's a beautiful day

Ooh-hoo-hoo

Touch me

Take me to that other place

Teach me

I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue

See China right in front of you

See the canyons broken by cloud

See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out

See the Bedouin fires at night

See the oil fields at first light

And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth

After the flood all the colours came out

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

Beautiful day

Touch me

Take me to that other place

Reach me

I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now

What you don't know you can feel it somehow

What you don't have you don't need it now

Don't need it now

Was a beautiful day

I'D Love You To Want Me

- Lobo -

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcHz-913eEw

[lyrics]

I see the want in your blue eyes.

당신의 파란 눈에서 욕구를 알 수 있어요.

*Baby, I'd love you to want me

자기, 당신이 날 원했으면 좋겠어요

The way that I want you

내가 원하는 대로요

The way that it should be

그래야 할 방식이죠

Baby, you'd love me to want you

자기, 내가 당신을 원했으면 좋겠어요.

The way that I want to

내가 원하는 방식으로요

If you'd only let it be.

그냥 내버려두면 좋겠어요.

You told yourself years ago

당신은 수년 전에 스스로에게 말했어요.

You'd never let your feeling show

당신은 절대 감정을 드러내지 않을 거예요

The obligation that you made

당신이 만든 의무는요

For the title that they gave.

그들이 준 타이틀에 대해서요.

White sails and off shore lights

We were passing ships in the night

Now I’m tracing shadows on your back

Like I dreamt so many times

Oh for so long I’ve been waiting

For so long, for a love like this

And I was so sure baby

I’d lost you for a minute but

There’s the sweetest

Spring at my door

Can you feel it?

Just the same as before

Many years have gone by

But I knew you’d come

And are those real angels in the magazines?

Oh, is there a heaven?

You'd know now you've been

Are those real stars that hang in the sky?

Or are they man-made, a trick of the light?

Amen, amen, amen

And is there a God up there?

So, where does He hide?

'Cause the devil is raging inside my mind

And is there a moment when it all makes sense?

When saying goodbye, doesn't feel like the end?

Amen

Amen

Amen, amen

Sometimes I can't help blaming You

For leaving me here, what am I supposed to do?

There's plenty of women, there's drink and there's drugs

But we both know that won't be enough

'Cause I see You in the daytime, and I hear You at night

There's a pale imitation burnt in my eyes

I don't wanna be here, I don't know what to do

Sometimes I'd rather be dead

At least then I'm with You

Tight shot., maybe more 'arty' than 'ID'?., but surely these Grebes are 'works of art'?

If they didn't exist and you let your imagination 'run wild' you may conjure up such a creature., but you'd probably confine such thoughts to your imagination

Eyes of fire., golden lochs of hair., a fantasy bird belonging in the realms of fairy tales., don't be silly.....how could something like that ever be real?

Hello, it's me

I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet

To go over everything

They say that time's supposed to heal ya

But I ain't done much healing

Hello, can you hear me?

I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be

When we were younger and free

I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

There's such a difference between us

And a million miles

Hello from the other side

I must've called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside

At least I can say that I've tried

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Hello, how are you?

It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry

I hope that you're well

Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?

It's no secret that the both of us are running out of time

So hello from the other side

I must've called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside

At least I can say that I've tried

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Hello from the other side

I must've called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside

At least I can say that I've tried

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Taken in Brockham, Surrey, a small village not too far from where I live. Quintessentially English, a village church, a village green, a village pub, some independently owned village shops, lots of old cottages surrounding the green. Nice place to live I'm sure. The only drawback is that you'd need a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a home there. Ah well, it was a nice place for a walk.

HBW dear friends :)

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day

When it's cold outside I've got the month of May

I guess you'd say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl (my girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

I've got so much honey the bees envy me

I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees

Well, I guess you'd say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl (my girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Ooooh

I don't need no money, fortune or fame

I've got all the riches, baby, one man can claim

Well, I guess you'd say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl (my girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day

With my girl

I've even got the month of May

With my girl

Talkin' 'bout

Talkin' 'bout

Talkin' 'bout

My girl

Ooooh

My girl

As long as I can talk about my girl...

Every image tells a story but when viewing this image you'd never guess how it came to be.

I was on a mission to get to the North Algodones Dunes Wilderness in Southern California on the Mexican border before Sunset... I left Phoenix Az. early enough, I thought, to drive the 211 miles, but I had only been there one other time and I thought I would have plenty of time to shoot the Sunset and then some...I was a bit off in my calculation.

I barely made it in time to capture just a few images before the Sun was gone and I was left standing there in darkness. On any other night, like a Moonless night, that would have been fine, but it was a full moon, and the clouds of a storm was moving fast across the desert.

I am happy with the images I was able to capture. Next time, I'll make sure I have plenty of time to travel the two-lane, winding road to get there.

Zoom in for the details

Thanks for stopping by

Do you remember the Mendelian laws of inheritance? We've learned them in school on the basis of how the eye colours of fruit flies (the notorious Drosophila Melanogaster) are inherited to further generations according to dominant or recessive characteristics, although Gregor Mendel himself conducted his groundbreaking genetic experiments with pea plants. Unfortunately, the significance of Mendel's laws was never truly understood or acknowledged in his lifetime (1822 – 1884). His studies, however, were rediscovered three decades later, at the turn of the 20th century, and, following their rediscovery, American biologist Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866 – 1945) began to experiment with Drosophila in his "Fly Room" at Columbia University. It was Morgan who discovered that genes are carried on chromosomes; he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1933. Further Fly experiments (with a less successful outcome) were conducted by a certain Dr. Seth Brundle in 1986 (aka "The Fly"). So where exactly does my image come in here, you may have already asked yourself (if you haven't stopped reading my lengthy introduction long before – which I could totally understand). Well, during one of those numerous teaching experiments with fruit flies, which numerous generations of students have conducted ever since modern genetics became part of school curriculums, something must have gone very wrong. And who knows, maybe Dr. Seth "Brundlefly" Brundle himself had led one of those biology experiments? Experiments in which some dinosaur genes were mixed with those of an innocent fruit fly... Which resulted in the creation the biggest Drosophila the world has ever seen – the Olympic Brachosophila Megalogaster? Nonsense, of course, and you know it ;-) But doesn't this kaleidoscoped image of the Olympic stadium's interior (the roof, mostly, taken at a dutch angle) look just like an ultra close-up of a (fruit) fly's face? Not one that you'd like to see buzzing around your fruit bowl, that's for sure, but let's say that the other "third party genes" that were used in this crazy experiment came from a puppy. So this would be the friendliest, cuddliest giant dinosaur puppy fruit fly you'll ever come across :) OK, I'd rather stop before you start to believe that I was a part of those experiments as well ;-)

Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and take care, dear Flickr friends!

Drosophila Megalogaster – Schau mir in die Augen, Kleines :)

Ihr erinnert Euch doch bestimmt noch alle an die Mendelsche Vererbungslehre und die berühmte Drosophila Melanogaster mit ihren dominanten bzw. rezessiven Genen, die über die Vererbung der jeweiligen Augenfarbe entscheiden. Was wäre, wenn jemand bei einem der unzähligen Biologie-Experimente, die Generationen von Schülern mit Fruchtfliegen durchgeführt haben, nicht nur Fruchtfliegen(-Gene) gekreuzt, sondern evtl. noch ein paar Dinosaurier-Gene dazwischen gestreut hätte? Das Ergebnis könnte die größte Fruchtfliege sein, die die Welt je gesehen hat, die unglaubliche "Olympische Brachosophila Megalogaster" mit Augen so groß wie zwei Stadiondächer ;-) Nun ja, Ihr habt es schon erraten, dies ist eine kleine Spielerei mit einem Foto vom Olympiastadion für den Sliders Sunday. Ich hatte hier einfach aus Spaß mal eine Aufnahme mit schräger Perspektive gemacht und dabei überwiegend das offene Dach mit ins Bild genommen. Nachdem ich in Photoshop das Bild kopiert, gespiegelt und neu zusammengesetzt hatte, schaute mich plötzlich eine riesige (Frucht-)Fliege an ;-) Keine, die man gerne daheim um den Früchteteller herumschwirren sehen möchte, aber ich kann Euch beruhigen: Bei dem manipulierten Experiment kamen als "Drittanbieter-Gene" nicht nur die eines Dinosauriers hinzu, sondern auch die eines kuscheligen Welpen. Diese Fliege ist also gaaaanz lieb und verschmust und will bloß spielen ;-)

Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, bleibt gesund und passt auf Euch auf!

You'd better hope and pray

That you make it safe back to your own world

You'd better hope and pray

That you wake one day in your own world

'Cuz when you sleep at night

They don't hear your cries in your own world

Only time will tell

If you can break the spell back in your own world

I don't really know why this song "popped" into mind ....

Maybe it is to do with being around 90mtrs above the River Thames.

The station is West Silvertown on the Docklands Railway, shot from the Emirates airline cable car.

you get a Emirates Airlines boarding pass to ride, so i thought i would add some cloud to add to the illusion of being on an aircraft.

and yes, it was raining ;-))
