Not sure how a catfish head ended up in the water. Perhaps an Osprey dropped it. The Tern picked it and carried it for about 50 yards before deciding the head was too big to swallow, and dropped it.

The Bond Company is based in Digbeth and a part of the Custard Factory, in Birmingham within a unique complex of expertly renovated buildings which combine historic Victorian architecture and culturally creative sculptures!
These sculptures were just hanging in the Unique Wedding Venue part of Bond Company and is recommended by “The Birmingham Mail as one of the ‘Top 5 Wedding Venues in Birmingham” with weird and wonderful looking sculptures that hang just above their heads to make a good backdrop photo for one wedding pictures!
Combustible and ready to spring into action the torch of anyone ambitious to illuminate a new generation for a spark of life!
May your life be full of flames when you dive into it – Just a bit of fun, in which I could not resist!
There is a whole variety of believers. Whosoever comes to these desolate mountains couldn't be exactly ambitious, at least not over worldly matters, and one can be sure life is hard here.

PS
Sanyu was nicknamed the Modigliani/ Matisse of the East. He came from a wealthy family having been taught Chinese poetry and ink painting by one of the Emporer's scholarly advisors in his youth. He studied arts in Japan for a couple of years before turning to Paris in his early 20's. Instead of attending any of the academies there, he chose to hang around saloons. He extended many of the aesthetic formalities of both of the East and the West, since he painted only from his heart and soul. He blended the styles from both the West and the East very uniquely, in subjects, materials or treatments. Other than expressionist exaggerations , he is also a great master of minimalism, keen to capture the very essence of the substances with a few symbolic strokes. His paintings are well received both in the East and the West. For a long time, his paintings are fetching a very high price. He is the only Chinese painter who had essentially integrated into or even pioneered Western painting albeit with things which could be traced back to his background. In his later years, having squandered all his money away, he became extremely poor...

The Grindelwald–Männlichen Gondola Cableway was opened on 23 December 1978.
The initiators were ambitious: at over 6 kilometres long, the Grindelwald–Männlichen Gondola Cableway would be the longest gondola cableway in the world – and indeed has remained so to this day.

The Plaza de Espana was originally designed and built as the ultimate symbol and the most ambitious project of the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition World’s Fair. The initial idea of holding a World Fair in Seville was promoted in 1909 with the aim of opening the city and, especially, to modernize it. It would be the perfect occasion to achieve civil works, thus improve employment, promote the tourism, enhance the image of Seville and strengthen relationships with American countries.
The Fair was initially going to be inaugurated on April 1st, 1911. It was then delayed to 1914 but World War I (1914-1918) and political issues between Morocco and Spain delayed it further on. It was finally held from May 9th, 1929 to June 21st, 1930.
The works of the Plaza de Espana began in 1914 and where supervised by its creator, the Sevillian architect Aníbal González. He was also the architect chief of the event and designed other buildings such as the Mudejar Pavilion (better known today as the Museo de Artes y Costumbres), the Fine Arts Pavilion (transformed later in the Archaeological Museum) and the Royal Pavilion. All of them can be found in the María Luisa Park, at the America Square (Plaza de América).
It was the most expensive and hard construction of the fair, employing at some point more than 1,000 workers. Obviously, the project went through aesthetical critics and financial difficulties, especially because Seville was in very bad economic shape.
In 1926 Aníbal González resigned from his position and the Plaza de Espana was finished in 1928 by Vicente Taverner, who added the central fountain. It was also the place where Alfonso XIII inaugurated the Fair.
ambitious: having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed.
The second installment of my Series, which rather than focusing on CURRENT students, it is instead meant to focus on students after their time in Hogwarts. Our next subject, Alaric Vos, Slytherin. The Half-Veela son of a wealthy and affluent pureblooded wizard who ventured outside of his marriage to secure an heir. Raised in a rather abusive household, Alaric worked hard to become a great wizard to ensure his independence and ability to protect himself from twisted expectations of the Vos family. With a love for potions, Alaric focuses his time and talents in front of the cauldron working on healing potions that he hopes will bring great benefits to the wixen world.
Thanks to my friend Alaric for letting me use him!

With everything she does she melts your heart.
She is sweet and secretive,
and the next moment luring and wanton,
then she is funny, playful, spontaneous
and from one breath to another she gets sad
and concerned, or exhausted and worried.
Sometimes she sighs and moans at once,
smirks, jumps, and then she squirms,
pulls and pushes your buttons.
With her you never know what happens next.
She is unpredictable, moody, ambitious and curious, adventurous, lascivious, innocuous, adorable aggressive and sullen silent from here and there.
And every day a new shade of her personality unfolds in front of your
loving eyes and with every day more you fear even an infinitude of time would be too short to see everything from her, every idea, desire, every thought and mood, and you wish the day would have many more hours, and every year many more days to be able to love her to the fullest extent possible, for every part of her deserves at least to be fully loved once all alone.

The Kingfisher by William Henry Davies
It was the Rainbow gave thee birth,
And left thee all her lovely hues;
And, as her mother’s name was Tears,
So runs it in my blood to choose
For haunts the lonely pools, and keep
In company with trees that weep.
Go you and, with such glorious hues,
Live with proud peacocks in green parks;
On lawns as smooth as shining glass,
Let every feather show its marks;
Get thee on boughs and clap thy wings
Before the windows of proud kings.
Nay, lovely Bird, thou art not vain;
Thou hast no proud, ambitious mind;
I also love a quiet place
That’s green, away from all mankind;
A lonely pool, and let a tree
Sigh with her bosom over me.
This image shows how this beautiful Kingfisher got its name.
Thanks for viewing and please know how much I appreciate and value each and every comment.
After the capture of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492, the city took on a more Christian appearance with large constructions designed by the monarchs. The most ambitious project was a great Gothic cathedral with a royal chapel to house the remains of Isabella and Ferdinand.
Although its construction was planned for 1506, the sudden death of Queen Isabella two years earlier led to the construction of the Royal Chapel to bury her. Therefore, work on the Cathedral of Granada did not begin until 1523.
The foundations were laid on the old main mosque of Granada. After the death of the main architect, Diego de Siloé took over and changed the entire previous design to erect a majestic Renaissance cathedral.
Siloé, who was also in charge of building the Monastery of San Jerónimo, designed a great temple with five aisles and two 80-meter towers. In the end, only one of them, measuring 50 meters, could be built.
The cathedral of Granada was completed in 1704.
National Trust's Gibson Mill.
Lord Holme Mill — to give it its official title — was erected in the early 1800s by Abraham Gibson, a Heptonstall farmer and cotton spinner, of Greenwood Lee.
Following his death in 1790, it was his son, another Abraham, who set in motion the changes which were to transform the family's cottage industry into a much more ambitious concern; a factory was erected in the heart of Hardcastle Crags and manufacturing began in earnest.
Gibson Mill was one of the first generation mills of the Industrial Revolution. The Mill was driven by a water wheel inside and produced cotton cloth up until 1890. In 1833, 21 workers were employed in the building, each working an average 72 hours per week.
Way back in Indonesia's history, places like this had a spiritual - and practical - significance for Java's would-be rulers. Many ambitious young princes and noblemen would come in search of 'kasekten' - a sacred energy that could win them ascendency to positions of power, realised through meditation in holy or historic places. Known as "tapa", this mystic asceticism involved meditating in the icy water of mountain streams, hanging upside-down from the branches of banyan trees, or going wild in the jungles of Java for weeks at a time. Senopati - the famous founder of Java's Mataram kingdom - was thought to have earned his prestige through pilgrimage to places such as this, in the misty outer reaches of Surakarta.

I traveled Canada extensively in the early 1990s before the shortline movement from the US spilled over to north of the border. So in the later years of the decade it was fun to go back and shoot some of the former CN and CP lines with new operators
In 1997 shortline holding company OmniTrax made a splash into Canada by operating some former CN track in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. These were fairly large operations that included the over 600 mile long line to Hudson Bay, and a 100 mile line from near Saskatoon to Prince Albert. Making things interesting was the fact they acquired 20 CN MLW M420Ws and the six BRC C-424s. In addition a former INCO RS11 and three BCR M420 B-units along with some interesting EMD Geeps. They also announced some nice paint schemes along with logos based on local interests.
But like most things OmniTRAX this was too ambitious. Not much happened in the way of paint. And most of the ALCos and MLWs quickly fell into disrepair.
I did manage one chase on the Carlton Trail of their daily Prince Albert to Saskatoon freight on the Warman Sub. Here a former CN M420W leads a BC Rail M420B and an ex-Southern Pacific GP9.
The Maryland Rinehart was one of a group of successful American sculptors who worked in Rome during the mid- nineteenth century.One of his finest works in his depiction of Latona.the Roman goddess of night,seated with Apollo and Diana,the twin she had by Jupiter,asleep at her side.She looks with tranquil affection at her sleeping infants who resemble classical putti.Further classical illusions are made by Latona's simplified hair patterns and archaeologically precise costume and sandals.Rinehart masterfully handled both the theme and the composition of this ambitious undertaking,avoiding sentimental "prettiness,"which he found "unworthy of sculpture."
This fir tree seems to be managing well even though it's growing from deep in the Trout Creek Canyon.
the morning sun casts clear rays over the city of arts and sciences, capturing the grace of modern architecture in its tranquil waters. each structure, designed with sweeping curves that defy the stagnation of traditional designs, is mirrored perfectly. this stillness belies the bustling city nearby, offering a snapshot into a world where human ingenuity and natural light converge, crafting scenes of serene beauty and unspoken dialogues between man and his ambitious creations.^
Then dare to enter the emerald shine! But beware you need to be cunning, ambitious, resourceful, determined, proud and shrewd! Or you will pay the price!
We will win, maybe not immediately but definitely...

This view extends from the island of
Grande Jatte,framed by trees to the red-roofed houses of the Paris suburb of
either Asniéres or Courbevoie across the Seine.Seurat had earlier celebrated this stretch of the river with his ambitious compositions Bathers at Asnières (1883-84,National Gallery,London) and A Sunday on La Grande Matte (1884-86),Art Institute of Chicago)
Here,he sought "to transcribe most exactly the vivid outdoor clarity [of nature] in all its nuances"using a technique known as Divisionism (also called Pointillism).The painted border was added shortly before the picture was first exhibited in 1889-the MET
Wheeling 218 is cruising across the former P&WV's Sygan bridge across Millers Run between Morgan and Bridgeville on a beautiful late Summer morning. They left Mingo with the first four engines which constitutes a great set of power on the east end of the railroad but made a stop in Hickory picking up two more engines and some cars. I'd have just as soon they not done that, but I can't complain at all with this power leading. The ambitious P&WV designed a lot of their bridges to be double tracked but in most cases they never were since the growth to justify it never materialized. 8/31/2025
I shot this at the "Scoop" outdoor amphitheatre in London. This must have been quite an ambitious pigeon as it went and stood right in the middle of the stage ;-)
Αυτή η φωτό είναι τραβηγμένη στο "Scoop", το υπαίθριο αμφιθέατρο του Λονδίνου. Το περιστέρι αυτό πρέπει να ήταν αρκετά φιλόδοξο, καθώς πήγε και στάθηκε κατευθείαν στη μέση της σκηνής ;-)
The Brunswick Centre, London, United Kingdom
I got incredibly lucky with this one. I was shooting outside when a very kind resident invited me in for a look around. I managed to take a whole series of photos before security threw me out.
About the building:
The Brunswick Centre began life in the 1970s as architect Patrick Hodgkinson’s ambitious megastructure, but after being handed over to Camden Council, he later described it as having been turned into a “council housing ghetto.” Decades on, in the late 1990s, Hodgkinson was given the chance to revive his original vision for a mixed‑use social housing scheme. Working with Levitt Bernstein, the complex was refurbished, and today the white‑concrete superblock is part shopping centre, part residential community.
So I want to start this off by saying I am consistently over-ambitious. Take today, for example. Today, I thought to myself, in my second attempt at using my new tablet, why don't I go ahead and try to draw a hood and a magic bubble and a shirt, on top of the usual hair, lighting, and color effects that I normally do.
Mind you, I don't draw/can't draw. Part of the purpose of this tablet is to try new things. Well ... I eventually gave up and realised my hood was actually a cloud. So I made it a magical effing cloud. And by the end I was just brain tired and gave up on the shirt altogether.
Anyways, a pile-up of Kira Balestra.

This serene lake has a story to tell. I’ve been here before, but my last visit was a race against time—just an hour between moonset and sunrise to capture a quick panorama.
This time, I aimed for something more ambitious: a larger panorama showcasing the lake's beauty. Unfortunately, the session was cut short by some unexpected late-night chaos (think burning rubber, booze, and dodgy behavior). Not exactly the vibes you'd hope for in a quiet spot like this. 😅
The Drakesbrook Weir plays a vital role in the area, collecting overflow from Waroona Dam for farmers to use for livestock and crops. By day, it’s a popular picnic and swimming spot, but at night, it’s usually still and empty—well, most of the time.
This 12-panel panorama (crafted from 36 images, 24 of them stacked) captures the lake’s reflections as the summer Milky Way rises above. High clouds and city light pollution softened the northern sky, but the magic of the view still shines through. ✨

We must have been ambitious vacationers on July 1, 1995, as we made this fine photo of BN train No. 629, descending the 1% grade through Lynch Coulee east of Trinidad, Washington at 6:48 a.m.
You can see the uphill right of way on the opposite side of the coulee, a mile or two above "Trinidad Loop". No doubt we were tired of EMD SD40-2 locomotives at the time, as they were on every train we photographed that weekend.

The Italian planners had in mind the ambitious example of the Tennessee Valley Authority, which had resettled thousands of Appalachian families. An American sociologist, Friedrich Friedmann, led a team of researchers—including a historian, a doctor, a geographer, and a psychologist—who assessed conditions in the Sassi. After architects devised several potential resettlement schemes, Friedmann’s team asked the peasants which design they thought was best.
In the new rural development of La Martella, four miles west of the Sassi, the architect Ludovico Quaroni attempted to re-create the open-air vicinati that the Materans had used as their plazas and drawing rooms. Each resettled family was given a house with an adjoining barn for animals; the bedroom windows looked out on the stables, so that residents could keep an eye on the beasts at night, as they had in the Sassi. The first families were moved to La Martella in 1954. The Giornale del Mezzogiorno declared that Materans had travelled “from the darkness of the Sassi to cottages in the green countryside!” Italian newspapers continued to support the cause, and the government began encouraging residents whose caves had originally been thought salvageable to move.
Ambitious kayaker sets out on a windy day for a little sea kayaking near Victoria BC Canada. A very important rule in sea kayaking is to have the latest marine weather forecast so you can avoid problems with changes in the weather. Too many times in our local waters I have seen kayakers stranded on islands or worse yet flipped over in heavy sea's all because they were inexperienced and went out in the wrong weather conditions. It can be a life or death situation.

I have orginally done a version on purplish pink and the title was different. When I decided to change the title to this, i can't produce the same dreamy tone of the earlier one. But i guess the color of dawn like this fits the title too. Lets return to the age of the innocence.

Das Palmenhaus in Kew Garden's, London, war das erste in dieser Größenordnung gebaute Glashaus. Es wurde 1844 von Richard Turner nach den Entwürfen von Decimus Burton erbaut.
Die Architekten liehen sich Techniken aus der Schiffsbauindustrie aus, um die ehrgeizige Vision zu verwirklichen - was möglicherweise erklärt, warum das Palm House dem umgedrehten Rumpf eines Schiffes ähnelt.
The Palm House in Kew Garden's ,London was the first glasshouse built on this scale. It was constructed in 1844 by Richard Turner according to Decimus Burton’s designs.
Architects borrowed techniques from the ship building industry to achieve the ambitious vision – which may explain why the Palm House resembles the upturned hull of a ship.
