Sea of clouds as seen from Tateyama.
雲海の下は富山の街並みと湾です。
夕日に雲が黄金色に輝きました。
Under the sea of clouds is the Toyama city and the bay.
Clouds shone golden in the setting sun.
As I sat in my garden enjoying a nice cup of tea I liked how the late afternoon light was illuminating the grass.
Thanks for all the lovely comments and favs on yesterday's busy bee :)
As we aproached the lake, I heard some fellow hikers exclaim "It looks like they use food colouring here!" I thought: photo-op. I don't use any of the 'magical' settings on my camera, but this time I didn't have my glasses on. When I got back home and looked at the pic on my computer I thought "What the heck!" I must have inadvertantly moved the dial. Even though I almost deleted it, after a while this funky image kind of grew on me. Next time though, I will have my glasses on.

As I stood and watched the mists
slowly rising this morning I
wondered what view was more
beautiful that this.

I drive by this river each morning. No matter the season, its beauty beckons me to stop and capture that day’s memory. You may recognize this river in one of my other images at a different time of the year.
The beautiful texture I used on this image is by Evelyn Flint entitled “Old Brown Paper”.

As you drive through small towns, you might see a neglected, abandoned old home like this one. Maybe you wonder who once lived there and what became of them. How many children played in the yard and did they return to visit “the folks”? Is there a favorite dog buried under the tree? Then you get back on the highway and the old place is forgotten. Again.
As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated

As you can see, this multi-tenant birdhouse appears to need a bit of renovation work. I can understand how the wood could deteriorate due to age, but I am wondering how the metal railings could have gotten bent this way. The house is mounted at the top of a pole in a local park and is probably 12-15 feet off the ground.

The Pitstone Windmill as dusk falls with the mysterious and ancient Ivinghoe Beacon. This is where the historic Ridgeway Path, starts its journey.
The windmill has stood here since 1627 and it closed in 1894 after it was badly damaged in a storm. It was restored by a group of enthusiast`s and is now full operational and open to the public.
The Ridgeway path follows the high ground across the Chilterns for 87miles and ends at Avebury [ famous for its standing stones ] in Wiltshire. The path has been in use since the Neolithic period by early man as it was safer to travel across the hills than down in the valleys because of the impenetrable forests and danger of attack by wild animals. It has been used from medieval times right up to the 50s by travelling tradesmen [ journeymen ] and travelling sales men [peddlers] carrying their goods to the various markets in the many villages that it passes through. Its a haven for wildlife including butterflies as well as the flowers that grow on the rich chalk grassland and it was originally part of a deep lagoon off the coast of west Africa before the tutonic plates shifted millions of years ago.
There are many megalithic features on the Ridgeway including Bronze age Long Barrows { Graves } Iron age Hill Forts and Standing Stones.
An amazing place, I have walked sections of it. I hope to walk it in its entirety next year as long as my legs, and me can hold out that long!!!
Do hope you will like my pic and give us a quick Fave if you do! Its what your index fingers for....... mostly!!!!
Have a good week ahead!
Pat.

Taken from the dock at Tofino, BC. On the gorgeous BC west coast.
As seen on a walk in Perthshire in July 1977 on holiday. The best I could get out of a slide I took all that time ago.
As the Vulture flew off folks so do the Hawk, but as I watched him go, all he did was feel safe enough to make a small circle and return to the same perch, just lucky I did not move and hung in there.
Thank you all.
Red roses for you, who are mother, friend, wife, daughter, sister... You who are a woman and know how to show your strength without losing your delicacy.
May your day and your life be very special and covered in blessings.
As most of my Flickr contacts are male, I want to extend these wishes to the women around them, who make easier their existence on this troubled planet.
Happy International Woman's Day!
As the August evenings and nights darken, the Northern Lights are visible again. I stood by the lake waiting for them. And they came, not dancing like in winter, but in a calm, beautiful arch, staying in place for over an hour. An orange crescent moon also rose into the sky. All the colors of the sky were reflected on the surface of the calm lake. Otherwise it was very quiet. I will keep this memory in my heart.

As we were driving down the road we spotted this Red-legged Partridge in the field. Managed a couple of quick shots.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

A hard disk find. The place where this was taken does not exist anymore, it fell victim to urban redevelopment.
As of 2019 the Shanghai No. 10 Steel Factory (上海第十钢铁厂) art museum, located smack in the center of Shanghai was simply gone. In 2005 the place had opened as an art museum with outdoor and indoor exhibits. A bit of history below:
The Shanghai No. 10 Steel Factory (上海第十钢铁厂) was founded in 1956 and featured around 30 small steel workshops.
The conversion to an indoor and outdoor art museum took place in 2005. A variety of art galleries existed and the entire place was known by various names, such as "Red City" (红坊) after the brick buildings, or "Shanghai Sculpture Space" (上海城市雕塑艺术中心). Nowadays the location it occupied is covered by modern office buildings.

As my true friend and loyal sharkback rider underwater, I am saving my Shark from this giant Mosasaurus, before he gets to be a dinner and I follow him as a dessert...lol.
Amazing what a good Trident can do with your enemy.

As the waves crash against the rocks behind her, she plays on, letting the salty mist from the sea splash against her windswept hair. The music of her violin blends with the sound of the sea, creating a breathtaking symphony of nature.
As the first rays of sunshine hit the sheer cliff edge behind, light bounced upwards and illuminated the underneath of Mesa Arch with a stunning red glow!
On this cloudless morning, we got to Mesa Arch about half an hour before sunrise.
Being a Sunday, I knew there would be a big crowd and I did not count on getting a spot in front of the arch.
Perhaps being a Sunday worked to my advantage, for there were only two photogs with tripods taking up the center stage (the rest probably knew better to avoid the weekend chaos!), most others (at least 100 if not more, scattered around) were casual visitors just there to capture the sunrise with cell phones. Many of them climbed up the rocks to the left of the arch or the higher ground on the right side behind the arch, obviously they didn't understand what made this a unique sunrise shooting location!
There were even TWO open spots in front of the arch: the 1st and the 3rd on the right side (facing the arch)!
I took the 3rd spot (from the right) and I held my ground, though I really wished I could take a photo of that nearby dome shaped rock which was bathing in the glowy pre-dawn light!
I did not bring a tripod because I needed the freedom to move around.
I walked away with 4 good photos, that's way more than I have ever expected!
Thanks for your visit, I wish you a nice Sunday!!! 💕😘
