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.

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...

“Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.”

The Hooglandse Kerk is a Gothic church building in the Dutch city of Leiden. Because the nave and tower are lower than the choir and transept, the church has a very characteristic silhouette. The Hooglandse Kerk is used by the Protestant Church in the Netherlands.
The history of the Hooglandse Kerk begins when the bishop of Utrecht, Gwijde van Avesnes, granted permission on 20 December 1314 for the construction of a wooden chapel on the 'Hooge Land' as a subsidiary church of the parish church of Leiderdorp.
On October 29, 1366, the bishop of Utrecht elevated it to a collegiate church. The new status gives the impetus to plans for a grand cruciform church, which will have to surpass the Pieterskerk in all respects.
In 1377 the construction of a grand church started, starting with the presbytery (1391) and the ambulatory (1415). The access portals are established between 1420 and 1436. The first phase of the south transept begins with the construction of the Chapel of the Holy Cross (1436). The side aisles were widened in the period 1432 and 1456. Despite delays, the ambitious project continues. The wide transept takes its present form around 1500. With a length of 65.70 meters it is the longest Gothic transept in the Netherlands.
In the first half of the 16th century, the church was decorated with great pomp and splendor. There are 24 altars in the church, with a prominent place on the northeast crossing pillar for the altar dedicated to her patron Saint Pancratius.
During the iconoclasm of August 1566, great destruction was caused and countless artefacts and archival documents were lost. In 1572 the church passed into Protestant hands and in times of need it also served as a grain store, such as during the Relief of Leiden in 1574. Virtually nothing of the original Catholic decoration has been preserved.
In the 17th century, the Hooglandse Kerk fulfilled an important religious and social role in Leiden. The tour portals, the benches in the side aisles, the pulpit, the extension of the organ, many gravestones and the houses on the outside of the church date from this period.
In the middle of the 19th century the church fell into disrepair, partly as a result of the disaster with the gunpowder ship in 1807. For a while, demolition of the church was even considered. It did not come to that and from 1840 to 1903 the church was extensively restored.
Part of the work is the barrel vault in the nave (1840) and the beautiful wooden vaults in the choir and the transept (1850), which give a good idea of the original spatial effect. Furthermore, the choir is stripped of the choir screen and the wooden partitions with the ambulatory.
After the Second World War, it was decided again to carry out a major restoration from 1954 to 1979. Later on, on a smaller scale, restoration work took place, which means that the church is in good condition today.
The Hooglandse Kerk still has an ecclesiastical function. The Leiden City Center Municipality of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN) and the ecumenical Leiden Student Ekklesia hold their worship services every Sunday. In addition, conferences, concerts and other events take place regularly.
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.

Every ambitious photographer wants to take this picture. But it takes some weather luck and the right technique. And you have to get to New York first. Sony Alpha 7C, Tamron 1:2,8/24mm, ND64 filter, mini-tripod, processed in Adobe Lightroom.
This was one of the most beautiful sunrises of our trip, to the Southwest. The sun was rising from behind, through a dense group of red clouds. The light was magical and sublime, to say the least. The light show lasted a long time, which is the exception, rather than the rule. The fact that it lasted, gave me the opportunity to try this ambitious wide perspective.
This is four horizontal 14mm images, blended in PS.
The overlook is 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet (980 m) above sea level, making it a 1,000-foot (300 m) drop
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking. I appreciate your visits and comments.
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.

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."
The impressive three-storeyed Ynysypandy slate-slab mill, and its surrounding yard, rail-access and water-supply system, was built to serve Gorsedda quarry in 1856-7 by the local contractor Evan Jones of Garndolbenmaen, probably to the design of the distinguished engineer James Brunlees. It is ingeniously planned so that the natural fall of the site assisted the manufacturing process. An internal pit accommodated an overshot water wheel, supplied by the Henwy stream, and on the south side a long curving ramp brought branches of the railway from Gorsedda quarry into the mill at two different levels, serving the middle and upper floors. The grand, round-headed openings are closely spaced like a Roman aqueduct, and derive from foundry practice. The eastern gable is surmounted by a decorative feature incorporating a false chimney stack, and the windows were at one time framed. It is one of very few architecturally ambitious buildings in the slate industry of Wales.
The mill specialised in the production of slate slabs for floors, dairies, troughs, urinals, etc. In its heyday, in 1860, it was producing over 2,000 tons per annum, but seven years later production was down to 25 tons per annum (due to the poor quality of the quarried slate) and the business went into liquidation in 1871.
The building provided a venue for eisteddfodau until the roof was removed around 1906. It was conserved by the Snowdonia National Park in 1981 and is accessible to visitors.

"Night Heron's Ambitious Attempt: Too Big to Catch
I captured the entire sequence of the Black-crowned heron landing on the back of a large fish, sliding off, then taking a bath while the big fish kept splashing. Some day I'll stitch it together.
Night Heron
There once was a night heron named Seigel,
Who tried to fish like an eagle.
He grabbed fish with his feet,
But they were too weak,
No talons—so the fish simply giggled!

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

Kyōto Station
The current Kyoto Station was designed by architect Hiroshi Hara, and it opened in 1997 which commemorated Kyoto's 1,200th anniversary. It is 70 meters high and 470 meters from east to west, with a total floor area of 238,000 square meters. Architecturally, it exhibits many characteristics of futurism, with a slightly irregular cubic façade of plate glass over a steel frame. During the mid-1990s, Kyoto was one of the least modern cities in Japan by virtue of its many cultural heritage sites, so locals were largely reluctant to accept such an ambitious structure. However, the station's completion began a wave of new high-rise developments in Kyoto that culminated in the 20-story Kyocera Building.

Ambition - a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.
Endless rain and darkness spoiled my plan. And I had no more ambitious plan than photographing a bar or shop at night, from the street. But on the street you'd be blown away in a gale and drenched in seconds.
Back to the station then, to take this, after a conversation with a railway employee who came to tell me I couldn't use a flash... but really was just wondering what on earth I was doing. I wasn't really able to explain!
There's no processing, that's just the skin colour of someone from Northern England midway through winter.
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.

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.
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.
