After years of remodeling, the Ver-o-Peso waterfront fish market is operational once again, with a variety of fresh and salt water fish.
The wind plays flute
Through the cellar door
And on my window sill
Plays a sad old song
I hope tonight
You will touch my hair
And draw ghosts on my back

Enicurus schistaceus
The slaty-backed forktail frequents the edges of fast-flowing streams and rivers, where it hunts small invertebrates by hopping among rocks or flying out over the water.
Occasionally straying further from flowing water to the edges of roads and trails.
Back alley ride. Near Nanjing road, Shanghai, China.
Back to Path
In a quaint town, hidden in the shadows of ancient mountains, lived Lis, a gifted young magician. Drawn to forbidden and cursed books, she discovered a tome that spoke of portals to other worlds and times. Intrigued, she cast a forbidden spell, unknowingly opening a gateway to unimaginable realms.
As the portal shimmered into existence, Lis found herself in a fantastical land where towering trees whispered ancient secrets, and the sky painted with hues unseen. Creatures beyond imagination roamed freely, their ethereal forms dancing with magic. Yet, with each step, Lis felt the weight of a looming curse, a consequence of meddling with the forbidden.
Guided by a spectral figure, she navigated through realms, encountering challenges that tested her newfound powers. The cursed tome, tethered to her fate, whispered cryptic warnings. Time warped around her as she sought a way to close the portals and break the curse.
In the end, Lis triumphed, sealing the gateways with a sacrifice of her own magic. Returning to her town, she bore the mark of the forbidden, a reminder of the enchanting yet perilous journey that unfolded through the pages of her destiny...

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
As you can see by the date this was taken a
week or so ago.
At this time Mama has a nasty monkey wound
on her side. Pain is making Mama real grumpy.
She has a short fuse for any monkey business.
On a good note:
Mama is here at our home and doing quite well.
Both no# 1 wife and I are her caregivers making
sure all her needs are taken care of.
Tomorrow she goes back to the dog doctor for a
wound cleaning, bandage change
and general checkup.
It's your donations that has saved her life ...........
This whole dog saga started with Mama nearly 5
years ago at the monkey temple. Her body is full
of scars, dings and divots from an extremity tough
life in an unforgiving jungle environment.
The new revised plan is as follows.........
I'll head back out to the monkey temple in a few days.
Food and supplies still need to be delivered to the
nuns and head monk. Mama of course will stay here.
Once Mama has been cleared by the doctor she will
ride with me to the monkey temple.This could still be
a week or more away before she's given the OK ?
We'll spend some quality time with Rocky, Tinker Bell,
Little Stubby, Legs and Pumpkin the Rascal ..;-)
The Hooligans will be cared for too and I might have
missed a couple others but I'll get to them all.
Mama and I will return to our home together from the
monkey temple unless something that is out of my
control causes change.
This is the way it looks right now ........ ;-)
Thank You.
Jon&Crew.

With a little bit of Lumia lens flare. This really is pushing the limits of this delicate 1020 camera. But I'm not going to lug a heavy camera on an exercise walk.

No apologies for the lack of imagination re the location for Western Campaigners triumphant return home. AKA Western Champion.
Looking like a scene from the 60s D1015 brought a lump to my throat and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end as she roared onto the sea wall sporting D1010 number and nameplates.
She was hauling the Western Challenger Railtour and ran non stop from Paddington to Plymouth in 3hours and 9 mins. The return leg went via Okehampton
A most wonderful thing for me when I find these shots. This one I repaired with PS because the edges were torn off, and I didn't want that to detract from the lovely focus of the women's formation. Also bumped up the contrast and de-yellowed it.
We had all flown back from Aswan that morning, except Shaban, our guide. We had said our goodbyes to him at the airport as he was flying home for a few days before his next job. Upon arriving back in Cairo another rep had met us and Vicky and I said goodbye to the rest of the group. Rather than spend the next 7 hours in an airport hotel bar and departure lounge as they were about to do, we had already decided and booked to stay an extra day and night back at the Crowne Plaza in West Cairo. This would give us an afternoon around the rooftop pool, a nice evening meal together and a chance for Vicky to visit two more Pyramids the next morning. These were out at Dharshur on the edge of the Western Desert, not far from Saqqara and hadn't been on the Jules Verne Itinerary. After a very intense 8 days this would be a nice way to unwind.
So this is the view of West Cairo from the rooftop pool. The concrete line across the middle of the photo is the new Monorail. Opening October 6th 2025, it wasn't yet half finished and it currently has no opening date. (HS2 Anyone?) Next to the GEM, it was the 'other' grand engineering project going on in Cairo at the time. 2 lines, The East and West Nile lines, 33 stations and 60 miles of track. When it is finished the views from it should be amazing and will be a fantastic way to see and get around the city.
Happy Thanksgiving to my Flickr friends!
I just returned from a business trip to Barcelona. I'll have a bunch of photos from Barcelona in the coming weeks. I have over 2,500 photos to go through.
Submitted for your approval is a shot of Sant Joan, a small, abandoned church, located in the Montserrat Mountains, above the Benedictine Abbey of the same name.

A shot of my gorgeous Parisian friend and model Sophia, from our first ever studio shoot (a few days ago).
This was a fun shoot, but it's always a pleasure for me to work with Sophia. It also meant we could avoid the rather "quirky" Parisian weather. :-)
As previously noted, my thanks are due to my Flickr contact papillon de jour2010, for first putting me in touch with Sophia.
You can see other shots I took of Sophia in my Sophia set.
