House sparrow in a Saguaro cactus. The price was right; he keeps saying "cheap, cheap, cheap".

After a morning of exploring Osaka, I treated myself to this amazing set, flavorful fried rice, juicy karaage, and steaming miso soup, all at a surprisingly affordable price. Osaka truly proves why it’s one of Japan’s best cities for ramen and comfort food.

Gannet - Morus Bassanus

Bempton Cliffs

The gannets are large white birds with yellowish heads; black-tipped wings; and long bills. Northern gannets are the largest seabirds in the North Atlantic, having a wingspan of up to 2 metres (6.6 ft). The other two species occur in the temperate seas around southern Africa, southern Australia and New Zealand.

Gannets hunt fish by diving into the sea from a height and pursuing their prey underwater. Gannets have a number of adaptations which enable them to do this:

no external nostrils, they are located inside the mouth instead;

air sacs in the face and chest under the skin which act like bubble wrapping, cushioning the impact with the water;

positioning of the eyes far enough forward on the face for binocular vision, allowing them to judge distances accurately.

Gannets can dive from a height of 30 metres (98 ft), achieving speeds of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) as they strike the water, enabling them to catch fish much deeper than most airborne birds.

The gannet's supposed capacity for eating large quantities of fish has led to gannet becoming a description of somebody with a voracious appetite.

Gannets are colonial breeders on islands and coasts, normally laying one chalky, blue egg. Gannets lack brood patches and they use their webbed feet to warm the eggs. It takes five years for gannets to reach maturity. First-year birds are completely black, and subsequent sub-adult plumages show increasing amounts of white.

The most important nesting ground for northern gannets is the United Kingdom with about two thirds of the world's population. These live mainly in Scotland, including the Shetland Isles. The rest of the world's population is divided between Canada, Ireland, Faroe Islands and Iceland, with small numbers in France (they are often seen in the Bay of Biscay), the Channel Islands, Norway and a single colony in Germany on Heligoland. The biggest northern gannet colony is on Scotland's Bass Rock; in 2014, this colony contained some 75,000 pairs. Sulasgeir off the coast of the Isle of Lewis, St. Kilda, Grassholm in Pembrokeshire, Bempton Cliffs in the East Riding of Yorkshire, Sceilig Bheag, Ireland and Bonaventure Island, Quebec are also important northern gannet breeding sites.

Young gannets were historically used as a food source, a tradition still practised in Ness, Scotland, where they are called guga. Like examples of continued traditional whale harvesting, the modern day hunting of gannet chicks results in great controversies as to whether it should continue to be afforded exemption from the ordinary protection afforded to sea birds in UK and EU law". The Ness hunt is currently limited to 2,000 chicks per year, and dates back at least to the Iron Age. The hunt is considered to be sustainable, as between 1902 and 2003 Gannet numbers in Scotland increased dramatically from 30,000 to 180,000.

Udny Castle is a tower house in the parish of Udny, southwest of the village of Pitmedden and northeast of the hamlet of Udny Green, Aberdeenshire, in the northeast of Scotland. The area is generally flat but the castle is sited on the highest ground and can be seen for a considerable distance. Its exact construction date is unknown, but its foundations probably date from the late 14th or early 15th century. Additional storeys were added and a later extension, described as a "modern mansion", was incorporated but subsequently demolished. It is a Category A listed building.

Sited on the highest area in a generally flat terrain, the castle can be seen from a considerable distance. The exact construction date is not known but it was probably initially constructed by the Udny family in the 14th or 15th century. The property is first recorded when it is shown on a charter for David II instigated by Ronald of Uldney.

MacGibbon and Ross suggested a construction date of the turn of the 16–17th centuries, but the indentation of the upper floors and thickness of the foundation walls suggest a much earlier date. The main construction work of the keep is believed to have spanned over 100 years and been undertaken by three consecutive lairds; it is reported to have "ruined them all".

The Udny family also owned Knockhall Castle and lived there until 1734 when Knockhall was destroyed by fire; they then returned to Udny. Jamie Fleeman, the Laird's fool, was responsible for saving the family papers from being destroyed in the fire.

The castle was abandoned sometime around 1775 then repair work was undertaken in 1801.

Colonel John Robert Fullerton Udny inherited the estate in 1802. He had been an army officer since 1797 but retired after his marriage to Emily Fitzhugh in 1812. Thereafter he only visited the estate occasionally as his main residence was in London. The couple had one son, John Augustus Udny, but he died a bachelor in 1859. The Colonel's wife died in 1846 after which he had an affair with Ann Allat whom he married on 2 January 1854. However, the couple had a son, John Henry Udny, born out of wedlock on 9 May 1853. A legal case was heard by the House of Lords as to whether John Henry was entitled to inherit the estate as his parents had been unmarried when he was born. The legal arguments describe how the Colonel had wished to do restoration work on the castle but could not afford to do so "owing chiefly to his connection with the turf".

The Colonel died in 1861. The House of Lords had decided in favour of John Henry and he inherited the estate as "though illegitimate at his birth, [he] was legitimated by the subsequent marriage of his parents".

In 1887, it is recorded as owned by John Hay Udny and had been in the family's ownership for several centuries.

Bartizans were included when an extra storey was added in the 17th century.

A mansion house in the baronial style was added in 1874–75 to the design of architect James Maitland Wardrop (of the Wardrop and Anderson company) but was subsequently demolished during the 1960s. Wardrop's son, Hew, was also an architect and undertook some of the decorative work at the castle. He died suddenly of appendicitis while working at the castle on 4 November 1887.

In 1964, restoration work was begun on the original tower house and the mansion house was demolished. Historic Scotland listed the castle as a Category A listed building in April 1971.

Beachy Head Lighthouse is located in the English Channel below the cliffs of Beachy Head in East Sussex. It is 33 m high and became operational in 1902. Beachy Head was built to replace the 1834 Belle Tout Lighthouse on top of the cliffs. For 80 years it was manned by a crew of 3 lighthouse keepers at any time - I hope they received a good pay, as it seems to have been a less-than-ideal job. In 2011 the operators said they could no longer afford painting the lighthouse white and red, but a funding campaign helped keep the distinctive colour of this historic landmark.

No co-pays and no pesky deductibles at this health facility. Of course you won't find any doctors or nurses here either. Just the quiet mood of abandonment.

Even though the fawns have matured past the spotted stage for this year they will still suckle at every opportunity mom affords.

As I stood here with my camera, my mind was back in 1864-65:

"What alternative do we have? Now that the Prussians have marched in and taken our land, there was no option but to leave. They have taken our identity, they have bankrupted our farming community, and our farmers can no longer afford to keep us even on gleanings!

"We anticipated this with dread. I had watched as the soldiers marched through our village. They had their pointy helmets on. They didn't hurt us. they didn't touch us. They just marched through and they were gone further north.

"Now this 'solution' to the Schleswig-Holstein Question has depressed us all, but the itinerant visit of an agent from the migration agencies, Dieseldorff & Co has sparked a new hope for some of us. Pastor has told us we should go. That visitor came and spoke about a new land, where it was summer all year round, where one could grow crops all year long, where no one was your master, where a day labourer could become a free farmer, where a hard working man could become a landowner.

"Hope is a powerful thing. It is stronger than our history!

"I have dacided to leave. I have talked it over with Minna...

"As we rode on the wagon back to Wehren, the bitter winter wind was at our backs but it swirled around my face. I was grateful that the wintery watering of my eyes masked the tears that welled up in me, as I thought of all the unknown that lay ahead of us. But the reading from Genesis 12 this morning: "The Lord said to Abram, Leave your country and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you."

"I was overwhelmed, that God would speak to us, a poor but faithful couple, so clearly.

"And so we left Dithmarschen behind, journeying with others first to Hamburg."

Saturday 22nd April 1865, the inspector departed tthe 'Sophie' and the 'Sophie' departed Hamburg under tow.

Detlef and Minna together with their household of 11, disembarked in Maryborough, Queensland on August 30, 1865. Sadly Minna died in 1869. But Detlef and a son selected their first 32 Ha. of virgin jungle in 1871. By 1883, the family were wealthy, successful farmers, successful entrepreneurs and the household had expanded to 6 families and their combined land ownerdhip had increased more than 10 fold.

The Protestant St. Bartholomew's Church in Wesselburen (formerly Saint Bartholomew) is a notable landmark in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It features a distinctive onion-domed tower and holds historical significance, with ties to the workshop of Hans Brüggemann around 1518/1522.

There is no time talking about the good feelings you have in your head or stomach when you successful enter a decayed location/building. In a hurry and sometimes with a higher heart rate I hunt for good compositions. In this room I walked by on my first 'watch around the corner' because I ordinary prefer the rooms with more mess, chaos and decay. After a few minutes, waiting for another shot I was taking, I decided to go back. So here my imagination started who had a good time hanging out in this chair. I imagine it must be people from 'a high class', or living the good life that could afford a room like this. While taking pictures in other rooms I was still thinking about this room...it had something specials...

The Borobudur Temple, Indonesia’s spectacular site, allows you to travel back in time to enjoy an unrivaled combination of history, culture, spiritually and natural beauty.

Visitors will enjoy the astonishing experience afforded by the world’s biggest Buddhist monument which survived 1,200 years of natural and man-made disasters.

Set in an unspoil green valley surrounded by majestic mountains, a visit to Borobudur is an unforgettable experience.

But visitors who base themselves in one of the great selection of hotels in Jogjakarta, Solo or Magelang can easily also enjoy the delights of these historical cities, including Sultan’s palaces, handicraft industries and the other great temples.

Borobudur is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist Temple in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central dome. The temple is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa. It is the world’s largest Buddhist temple, as well as one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world.

Report from a photo trip to Lofoten - 18

The terrace of a Rorbu cabin afforded a wonderful view west across Offersøystraumen to Leknes. The Space Weather App had predicted favorable conditions for aurora sightings, and just after 8 p.m. a green band stretched across the sky. In the excitement we didn't have time to turn off the cabin light and so the rocks in the foreground - partly submerged - are illuminated by the light from the Rorbu cabin.

The shot didn't require any special editing tricks in post-processing. I basically just used my default raw processing settings in Lightroom with a small increase in brightness and clarity (although the rocks in the foreground required special attention to bring out the details). There was no change of colors.

They thought I was on the dessert menu.

Thing is... they couldn't afford my sweet decadence. *laughs*

I've really been falling back in love with some of my color 4x5 images. The emulsions that I usually use haven't been produced in decades (and will never be produced again) (and if they were still in production, there's no way I could afford them).

I do have some left and I'm sure I'll pick up a few more boxes here and there, but I really need to understand that soon I'll have no color sheets left.

Maybe in five years (at the rate I shoot color now, which is slowly) they'll all be gone.

But who knows what will be happening in five years, so (as far as color sheet film goes) I think I'll live for today-ish.

This photo memorializes the yellow flowers I saw for most of my trip. This one in particular is along an abandoned stretch of US Route 20 that was originally (very close to) Goodall's Cutoff of the Oregon Trail.

I don't know what the flowers are, though I remember knowing at the time.

There are flashes of blue on the rocks and I have no idea why. It was noon-ish, so maybe they are reflections that blew out of highlights and this is how the film rendered the blow out. That's my best guess. With normal color film, these might have rendered as white.

Affordable performance combined with simple mechanicals helped the Datsun 510 remain a popular automotive enthusiast's car for many years after its discontinuation.

After their death, Hindus in Bali are traditionally cremated in a very elaborate ceremony called Ngaben. In this way the soul of a dead person can enter the upper realm where it can wait to be reborn or get liberated from the cycles of rebirths. Since this is not affordable for many poor families, some villages hold a communal, but all the more splendid, cremation ceremony every five years. This was also the case in a village on the east coast of Nusa Penida. We passed by chance and were lucky to experience this unique celebration of Balinese culture.

For the Crazy Tuesday challenge: "This makes me happy"

I love poetry, and nothing delights me more than to find a poet who is new to me. To settle down on a winter's night and open a new book of poetry!

I have always loved poetry, and have carried a poetry book with me, when possible (sometimes copying poems into small notebooks to fit in my pocket.) I'm old enough to remember the revolution that Penguin books brought - small affordable paperbacks! Bliss!

I'm quite eclectic in my definition of poetry, and include both Haiku and the Tao Te Ching. Anything where words resonate - and "less is more" to the reader.

Here I've taken a very small selection from my large poetry book-shelf, and book-ended them with two American poets who are Nobel laureates. Many writers include poetry in their output - but few make it their central focus.

If the phrase "can't hold a candle to" is unclear I looked it up - it means I'm not in the same league as any of them 😊

When Xiao Hua “Edward” Gong was arrested & tried for running a pyramid scheme and laundering money,

the U.S. Government seized his American properties.

Among the millions of square feet are some eye-catching commercial real estate, like a huge Detroit-area hotel,

an even-bigger former factory and

a majority share of a historic office building in Downtown (The Pittsfield Building) Chicago.

Those assets are going on the market now, and the seller

(The US Government) is as reliable as they come.

Pittsfield Building Vestibule,

1923, Graham, Anderson, Probst and White,

55 E. Washington Street.

Designated a Chicago Landmark in 2002.

"Within days, a judge could decide the fate of the Pittsfield Building in the Loop. Will she order it put up for sale? Or will she allow its current owner, a Chinese-Canadian business mogul charged with securities fraud a few years ago, to hang onto the landmark tower?

"'It's impossible to tell,' says Monte Mann, an attorney engaged in an acrimonious court battle over the high-rise. 'There are twists and turns at every hearing. I really have no idea.'

"In Chicago, Cook County Circuit Court Judge Patrice Munzel Ball-Reed will rule soon on a proposal to sell most of the space in the Pittsfield, which is in receivership after years of neglect. It needs a massive makeover.

"Completed in 1927, the 38-story high-rise at 55 E. Washington St. is 'one of Chicago's finest 1920s-era skyscrapers, built during the decade when the city's distinctive tower-pierced downtown skyline first began to take shape,' according to a 2001 report recommending a landmark designation for the property.

"Both properties caught the eye of Xiao Hua "Edward" Gong, a Chinese businessman based in Toronto. He bought the Motorola campus in 2016 and the Pittsfield in 2017. Gong also bought the Holiday Inn Express in Rosemont in 2017, renaming it the Edward Hotel Chicago. Now closed, the hotel is on the market.

"Canadian prosecutors entered the story in late 2017, filing money laundering and securities fraud charges against Gong. Working through the U.S. Department of Justice, they then imposed a restraining order on the properties, effectively freezing them—a major obstacle to any potential plan to redevelop them.

"But earlier this year, prosecutors lifted the restraining order on Gong's space in the Pittsfield. He owns all but nine floors in the building; Chicago-based landlord Marc Realty owns apartments on floors 13 through 21.

"By the time of Gong’s acquisition, the Pittsfield already was in bad shape, with the city filing a lawsuit over its condition in mid-2017. Courtney Jones, who was appointed the building’s receiver in January 2020, has overseen a major renovation of its exterior and interior, recently receiving Ball-Reed’s approval to be reimbursed for about $4.5 million in rehab costs.

"Jones recently filed a motion to sell Gong’s space, with the support of Marc and the city. Originally built as an office tower, the Pittsfield has attracted interest over the past decade from residential and hotel developers. But rather than approving the sale motion, the judge decided to give Gong a chance to retain his ownership stake in the Pittsfield—if he can come up with a credible turnaround plan for the building. Gong’s proposal is due May 24.

"'We were surprised that that judge gave him another chance, given that he lost control of the property more than a year ago and does not seem to have the financial ability to bring his portion of the building into compliance,' says Mann, who represents Marc Realty in the city’s lawsuit. 'He’s had enough of an opportunity to do this, and he’s never come through.' (Gallun, Crain's Chicago Business, 5/21/21)

Jill’s been having a sort out - I’ve been playing:-) Needless to say these relics were not discarded. Today's paperless bills will leave no trace for future historians! Neither will Facebook, WhatsApp or Texts - we shall disappear into the ether without trace!! Have a super W/End folks…..

Feel free to critique as you see fit, but please don’t feel obliged, I anticipate they will not be to all tastes. Have a great year and if you also have embarked on a 365 project then good luck in seeing it through, Alan:-)

Affordable senior living housing / built 1972

I have waited a long time to see a Bulleid Pacific in Scotland and although a couple of West Country's have made it north of the border (not that I saw them) a Merchant Navy has never been up here. Back in 1966 a West Country was supposed to work a special from Glasgow to Aberdeen and so my mate and I went up to Perth to see it. We waited and waited and nothing turned up, then this guy appeared and told us it had been cancelled due to lack of interest, can you believe it!! Still at school at the time, we couldn't have afforded to go on it, but you would have thought there would have been enough interest. So here I am, 56 years later finally seeing one up here. With the well known Edinburgh landmark of Arthurs Seat in the background, 35018 British India Line passes Kingsknowe station with the returning Preston to Edinburgh Edinburgh Flyer.

I got to sneak in a lunch date with this inquisitive guy, peeking at me from under his stroller cover, and his mama. In my return to a more traditional 9-5 I've lost some of the flexibility and freedom that freelancing provided. I've gained other things I know (read: insurance we can afford that actually pays for my seemingly endless doctor's appointments and my husband's mental health needs). I know this. I'm grateful.

But I miss scheduling my comings and goings independent of a larger organization. On early fall afternoons walking to our town center for midday tacos has all the appeal. Combining that with getting time with a friend midweek infused a hectic few days with some levity. Good conversation, yummy food, baby snuggles... the good stuff. I love that this project reminds me, again and again of it.

Where's the good stuff in your life this week?

In the year 2020 we'd like to make some wishes. Guess they can't afford to maintain the fountain anymore?

Hey guys :) I'm Back!!! I know it's been forever, but I got lazy and suuuuper busy with senior year and everything. This may look familiar because it is a re-edit of the the photo from this day I can't afford, nor can my computer support photoshop so i got the 30 day trial and was playing around with it. I wish I could have it though :/ Anyways I am planning on taking as many photos as possible before I leave to go to college so keep your eyes open :)

BN eastbound Laurel to Lincoln #178 is pulling up around the wye at the west end of the yard, passing the "west shack" that used to be THE yard office before all the coal trains started. The "Q" built it with their usual attention to solid construction and I'd hardly call it a shack, but by now the real yard office was perched on top of the portico of the two story Alliance Division offices, a position that afforded the Yardmaster a good look at the controlled (barely) chaos of his domain. Those ore hoppers most likely don't contain ore; they probably have ballast picked up at Guersey where a ballast pit was located. There was also a connection at this time with the Colorado & Wyoming at Guernsey, but the iron ore from the Hartville/Sunrise mine was always - in my observation - in standard hoppers, stained as red as the ballast from Guernsey was. Over those first few ore/ballast jennies is suspended the Q-style cantilever signal bridge that marked the junction of the "Billings main" via Edgemont, Gillette, and Sheridan, with the "south line" that went via Scottsbluff, Wendover and Wind River Canyons to Laurel. The U30c, SD45, and two U30c's are having a good tug on what is probably a good sized train to get it into the yard. The tail end of the train is passing the very beginnings of construction of a new "South Yard" to accomodate all the coal traffic while this originall yard will be relegated to manifest and whatever loaded coal trains need a brief servicing stop.

Many blue-collar family-friendly towns in NJ have recently had homes sell for 1 million dollars. It can’t keep going this way…

A project with miracle quality is taking shape in the Karoo. As a future part of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA,) this dish of the 64 element MeerKAT telescope gazes at the night sky, the Milky Way wheeling overhead.

I spent two nights with friends at the site photographing these wonderful telescopes and taking in the spectacle afforded by the deep black sky, unaffected by ambient light.

There are two satellites moving across the sky, leaving a trail, during this 30 second exposure.

Stockholm's Gamla Stan is almost custom built for portrait backgrounds - narrow alleyways with slight curves and high buildings helping to give an even light across wider spreads of backdrop than often afforded to the photographer.

Lars is a Stockholm native since 1938, and was able to fill me in on some of their stories. This one is Prästgatan, which features in a number of folk songs. He also noted the changes over his time here - sadly tinged with the same trends as so many places; one can't leave a door unlocked any more, for instance.

Picking his way through the dense crowds attracted to the city centre by the "Vattenfall World Triathlon Stockholm 2014", Lars had struck me both for his meditative, intelligent gaze and his angelic white glow. In the shadows of the alleyway I'd test shot for a background, I hoped he would offer enough contrast to claim centre stage, and have the presence to justify it! In the shot we used just the sunfire (gold/silver striped) reflector with a -2 stop pop of fill flash from an on camera softbox. Together, as the softbox is so high, I find you end up with a kind of guerrilla clam shell light set-up. It's maybe not the most masculine lighting set up, but I think it does a good job of giving lars and his chic blazer an even pop of highlight against the darker alleyway.

Often I would clone out the bokeh highlight behind him, but in this case it felt appropriate - a sort of "light bulb moment" look to it, in keeping with Lars' quick intelligence.

He's a psychotherapist, and we talked about his work. He also showed me a book he'd picked up that morning; Death Of A Hero. It discusses the role of men in the modern world, in the light of recent trends in popular culture. Man, Lar notes, now graces our screens generally as an oaf, as a sports obsessed, greedy, lager craving beast. That's not to say that the portrayal of women has ever been adequately fair, he explains, just that the recent trend is aggressively pushed and men are left confused, challenged and in danger of losing their identity in the face of the media onslaught. It was a very interesting angle on the world to have explained with Lars' methodical intelligence and understated passion.

It's worth noting that world class cyclists were whizzing past us, about three metres in front of Lars, as we shot this. How on earth he maintains his serenity and focus, I don't know!

Lars - Thank you so much for your time. I hope you caught up with the rest of your party and like your portrait. Tack!

This is portrait #65 of my 100 Strangers Project - check out the group page and get involved.

Went for the black nightie last night.

Well got to get a few bit ready for work later for tomorrow. Not over dressed just dressed.

So now the new year is here, what are your plans for getting through at least a few mire months of restrictions?

I have decided whatever happens i am going to have a life for i can't afford to lose another one doing nothing and if that means the garden gets an overhale then so be it. at least i will be getting home at a normal time now.

A retake of a previous brick for reasons of improvement.

--- KICKSTARTER UPDATE ---

The Enter the Brick - A book in the wall project has reached 20%, which is great and shows there is interest.

Due to some feedback and serious consideration, I have installed another level of support.

Some see this as an artist endeavor. others as a book project. In order to provide both with a book and back this campaign there is now a a basic version of the book available too.

This contains either a softcover version or a digital version. The digital version starts from 24€ which I presume reasonable and affordable, especially for those who can't /won't back the project with a large tier, but still find the series great and would like to support and even have a book later ;-)

So if you like the project and haven't supported yet, or just have been uncertain or even haven't heard of the campaign until now, head over to the project and see what you can do and what you can get.

I will need any help possible to make this project happen.
