When I was an undergraduate student at Rutgers University Newark New Jersey campus in the early 1980’s across the street from Rutgers was NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) where I admired Eberhardt Hall from across the street, looking so out of place with its Gothic architecture amongst the modernistic concrete & glass buildings of both Rutgers & NJIT & a Newark High School (no longer there). I never ventured there while a student, but while on Grand Jury duty for the county of Essex there in Newark back a few years ago, I went to my alma mater and saw that some restoration had been done to Eberhardt Hall so I captured this image and walked across the street to check out what now had become the NJIT University Alumni Hall. The restoration took great care to ensure period authenticity. It was built in 1857, a rare example of mid-19th century Elizabethan style Gothic architecture with the elegant turrets and battlements that are reminiscent of 15th & 16th century castle, one of two Elizabethan Gothic buildings in New Jersey. When it opened in 1857 it was the Newark Orphans Asylum which had modern conveniences for that time period of gaslight, steam heat and running hot & cold water. The design of architect John Welch, a founding member of the American Institute of Architects who was renown as one of America’s most important church architects. iPhone 7. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom #olympus @visitnewark @visit_nj @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful #newjerseyisntboring #newjerseyisbeautiful @njit @apple #iphone7

The last light of day melts into the horizon — soft gold and quiet blues meeting in perfect stillness. The sea rests in gentle rhythm, each wave whispering peace. A moment of calm, where time pauses and the world feels beautifully still. 🌅

A Plaza de San Mateo, no ponto mais alto do centro histórico de Cáceres, classificado como Património Mundial pela UNESCO, revela a história da cidade através da sua arquitetura. Ocupando o local da antiga alcáçova almóada, a praça apresenta edifícios em alvenaria de pedra ocre, típicos dos solares fortificados da nobreza local dos séculos XIV a XVI. O pavimento empedrado tradicional unifica o espaço, que conecta monumentos como a Igreja de San Mateo, erguida sobre uma mesquita, e o Convento de San Pablo. Palácios como os Golfines de Arriba e o das Cigüeñas, com elementos góticos e renascentistas, circundam a praça, testemunhando a evolução arquitetónica da cidade. A praça mantém o seu carácter defensivo e senhorial, preservando a autenticidade do ambiente medieval, notavelmente conservado e refletindo um período de expansão económica após a Reconquista. A integração de estruturas modernas, como o Hotel Atrio, demonstra a harmonia entre a preservação patrimonial e a funcionalidade contemporânea, consolidando a Plaza de San Mateo como um dos núcleos mais emblemáticos de Cáceres.
Plaza de San Mateo, at the highest point of the historic center of Cáceres, classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, reveals the history of the city through its architecture. Occupying the site of the former Almohad citadel, the square features ochre stone masonry buildings, typical of the fortified manors of the local nobility from the 14th to 16th centuries. The traditional cobblestone pavement unifies the space, which connects monuments such as the Church of San Mateo, built on top of a mosque, and the Convent of San Pablo. Palaces such as the Golfines de Arriba and the Cigüeñas, with Gothic and Renaissance elements, surround the square, bearing witness to the architectural evolution of the city. The square retains its defensive and stately character, preserving the authenticity of the medieval environment, remarkably well preserved and reflecting a period of economic expansion after the Reconquista. The integration of modern structures, such as the Hotel Atrio, demonstrates the harmony between heritage preservation and contemporary functionality, consolidating the Plaza de San Mateo as one of the most emblematic centers of Cáceres.
Beautiful, epic , vast .. a loving work of art and one of my favourite places to go photograph .. hope you enjoy these beautiful views of Portugals stunning countryside x
The day fades into stillness as waves whisper against the shore. The horizon glows in soft gold and violet — a quiet space for reflection and calm. Captured during golden hour, this seascape reminds us that every ending can feel like a beginning.
Standing on the ridge, watching the wind roll through the valley, it feels like the world just keeps going — horizon after horizon, cloud after cloud. The turbines turn quietly in the distance, a reminder of how far we’ve come and how much more there is ahead.
This view is more than a landscape; it’s a moment of stillness that whispers possibility — of journeys not yet taken, and ideas still forming on the edge of the sky.
A peaceful beach at sunset — the sky glowing with soft, soulful hues of gold and rose. A simple wooden bench and a weathered sign stand quietly, overlooking the calm waves. A moment of stillness and beauty, where time feels suspended and the world breathes in harmony. 🌅✨
As the sun dips behind the ridges of rural Portugal, a loyal companion wanders the winding paths, silhouetted in gold. The air is still, touched by pine and earth, carrying the quiet hum of evening. In this fleeting light, mountain and soul merge — a simple walk becomes a moment of pure presence.
I came across this old phone used in my dad’s auto repair garage and also found my grandfather’s old repair manual (1919). I was careful not to disturb the dust as I felt it gave it the needed authenticity of a true Dusty Still.

Standing on the ridge, watching the wind roll through the valley, it feels like the world just keeps going — horizon after horizon, cloud after cloud. The turbines turn quietly in the distance, a reminder of how far we’ve come and how much more there is ahead.
This view is more than a landscape; it’s a moment of stillness that whispers possibility — of journeys not yet taken, and ideas still forming on the edge of the sky.
in the heart of paris, at the wonderful sicilian restaurant respiro, giuseppe served us with a smile that brightened our day, which was grey and rainy. this moment was pure serendipity, almost magical, his comedic talent, shown between serving dishes, seemed to echo through the streets. when i noticed how the table perfectly mirrored the scene, i had to capture this fleeting moment. giuseppe, completely unaware, became a living artwork in motion, caught in a step where up and down blend seamlessly. his authenticity and energy are the true soul of this photograph.
The Soul of the Land: A Journey Through Time and Tradition
This evocative collection captures a series of cinematic moments rooted in the rugged beauty of rural heritage and the timeless spirit of nature. The series explores the deep, silent connection between the land and its inhabitants, weaving a narrative of solitude, resilience, and ancestral tradition. From the weathered, soulful gaze of an elderly shepherd to the meticulous, scarred hands of a woodworker, each frame pays tribute to a life defined by authenticity and craft.
The journey traverses misty villages perched on jagged cliffs, ancient gnarled olive trees standing as silent witnesses to history, and the majestic flight of vultures over deep canyons. Whether it is the quiet comfort of a freshly baked loaf of bread in a sunlit kitchen or the melancholic beauty of a rainy street at dusk, these images invite the viewer to pause and reflect on the dignity of a vanishing world. A visual exploration of rustic simplicity, where every stone, texture, and ray of light tells a story of belonging and endurance.

Saint-Tropez is a town, 100 kilometres (62 miles) west of Nice, in the Var department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France. It is also the principal town in the canton of Saint-Tropez.
Saint-Tropez is located on the French Riviera. It was a military stronghold and an unassuming fishing village until the beginning of the 20th century. It was the first town on this coast to be liberated during World War II (as part of Operation Dragoon). After the war, it became an internationally known seaside resort, renowned principally because of the influx of artists of the French New Wave in cinema and the Yé-yé movement in music. It later became a resort for the European and American jet set and a goal for tourists in search of a little Provençal authenticity and an occasional celebrity sighting.
The road winds through Portugal’s breathtaking countryside — golden plains, mountain ridges, and hidden rivers waiting to be discovered. Each turn offers a new story, a new scent of pine or ocean air. Adventure isn’t a destination here; it’s the journey itself, written across the vast landscapes and quiet villages of this beautiful land.
A Ruela de Entrecercas, no coração histórico de Santiago de Compostela, ilustra a adaptação da arquitetura vernácula ao clima atlântico e a evolução do tecido urbano medieval. O seu nome remete à localização original entre as muralhas da cidade. Os edifícios altos em granito, com galerias envidraçadas verdes características, protegem do clima húmido e captam luz solar, atuando como reguladores térmicos. O pavimento em lajes de pedra e a presença de transeuntes mostram a continuidade da vida quotidiana num espaço classificado pela UNESCO, onde elementos tradicionais como as fachadas rebocadas, varandas e portadas coexistem com infraestruturas modernas, revelando a adaptação contínua do espaço às necessidades contemporâneas sem comprometer a sua autenticidade. Esta viela, parte de um complexo sistema de ruas em torno da Catedral, integra o quotidiano dos habitantes e a cidade de peregrinação.
The Ruela de Entrecercas, in the historic heart of Santiago de Compostela, illustrates the adaptation of vernacular architecture to the Atlantic climate and the evolution of the medieval urban fabric. Its name refers to its original location between the city walls. The tall granite buildings, with their characteristic green glassed-in galleries, protect against the humid climate and capture sunlight, acting as thermal regulators. The stone slab pavement and the presence of passers-by show the continuity of daily life in a UNESCO-listed space, where traditional elements such as plastered facades, balconies, and shutters coexist with modern infrastructure, revealing the continuous adaptation of the space to contemporary needs without compromising its authenticity. This alley, part of a complex system of streets around the Cathedral, is part of the daily life of the inhabitants and the city of pilgrimage.
Authenticity of character is widely admired yet rarely do we labor towards it. Many are tainted with layers of facade, as result we seldom reveal our true-self to others and become lonely and self conscious.
Are you lonely? Are you authentic?
I was walking through Napier today and took a shot of this window I quite often walk past on my strolls through town. I think it once was a law office as, according to Wikipedia:
"A notary public (sometimes called a notary or a public notary) in New Zealand is a lawyer authorised by the Archbishop of Canterbury in England to officially witness signatures on legal documents, collect sworn statements, administer oaths and certify the authenticity of legal documents for use overseas"
There you go!

The notion of authenticity, here, is ambiguous. Both ironic and actual a cloud is, indeed a nebula however it isn't a nebula in astronomical terms. The ambiguity extends into the process of photomanipulation, where a cloud (actual) is edited to resemble an astronomical nebula (ironic or representational).
Furthermore, from a Postmodern perspective, authenticity becomes a representation of authenticity which creates an immediate ambiguity. If something that is real, genuine, is not real and genuine then how are we to understand what is real and what is false?

One from the archives that is going into my Flickr "Taken From The Rear" album.
As far as I can recall these people were on a Game of Thrones filming location tour and it seems that everyone was supplied with a cloak for authenticity.
The sun dips slowly behind the rugged peaks of the Caramulo Mountains, spilling molten gold and amber across the valleys below. Shadows stretch and curl, folding the hills into quiet mystery, while the sky blazes with colors that seem almost too vivid to be real. In this fleeting moment, the world feels suspended between day and night, a gentle pause where time itself seems to breathe. The mountains stand eternal, guardians of the fading light, as if whispering secrets only the wind can carry.
Hidden in the rugged mountains of northern Portugal, Peneda-Gerês National Park is a wild mosaic of granite peaks, crystal-clear rivers, ancient forests, and tiny stone villages that seem frozen in time. It’s the country’s only national park — a place where nature and tradition coexist in perfect balance.
From the misty heights of Serra da Peneda to the deep valleys of Rio Lima and Cávado, the park offers endless trails, waterfalls like Cascata do Arado, roaming wild Garrano horses, and centuries-old Roman roads still visible underfoot.
The authenticity of this building is in question in my mind. It is an old building. But, was it originally the J. A. Wall Store established in 1906? I rather doubt it. If it was, it has had the unfortunate history of being called something stupid like the Old Time Store. Right now it's just a falling down repository of junk. Seen on US 704, Stokes County.
1929 DeSoto.
Manufactured by the DeSoto division within the Chrysler organisation the DeSoto was sold from 1928 till 1961.
This particular car was purchased in Canada by a New Zealander in the early 1930's and then shipped it back to New Zealand.
It remained in the family until 1980 when it was purchased by a car enthusiast in Australia where it remains.
It is all original and to prove its authenticity the DeSoto came with all the relevant documentation associated with it including all the New Zealand registration papers since its arrival in the country.
