Most of the tourists have gone home, and the riverside streets are getting quieter even at weekends now. There is a chill in the air, and the leaves are beginning to fall.
Still, some locals out there - a cyclists, people having their coffees out on the pavement and, most likely, a young Pokémon Go player, totally immersed in what's happening on his phone screen. (BTW, I was out there Poké hunting, too!)

This mare had left the watering hole and was beginning what I presumed would be a long day of finding the remaining green grasses in the basin.

I think this is going to be my first picture of a 365 day project. I've been wanting to do one for a while now and I haven't had enough courage to do so.
EDIT: Turns out we have 366 days this year!
With winter almost arriving this waterfall in Iceland is showing signs of freezing. The spray forming black ice everywhere.
Our next visit next was to Grant Burge winery, Barossa Valley September 4, 2013 Australia.
Grant Burge is a fifth-generation Barossa Vigneron. Throughout his career, Grant has been one of the most respected and innovative forces in the Australian wine industry. The history of the Burge family and their long association with winemaking in the region can be traced back to March 1855, when noted tailor John Burge immigrated to the Barossa from Hillcot, near Pewsey in Wiltshire, England with his wife Eliza and their two sons. With help from his sons Meshach and Henry, John’s farm flourished with wheat, sheep and viticulture. His eldest son Meshach continued the farming tradition and was a prominent community leader. He married Emma in the early 1900s and they had eight children. First-born Percival established the Wilsford Winery in 1916, beginning the Burge winemaking tradition. Percival had two sons, Noel and Colin, and Colin and his wife Nancy had one son, Grant. Following in the footsteps of his father and forefathers before him, Grant now carries the winemaking tradition into the 21st century.
Family Owned
Grant Burge Wines was formed in 1988 by Grant and his wife Helen, and is located in the heart of the Barossa Valley. Continuing the family tradition, Grant and Helen have now brought the sixth generation into the fold. Eldest son Toby is the company’s Vineyard Manager, upholding the premium quality and consistency of fruit produced from the vineyards. Amelia joined the Marketing Department in an assistant role early in 2007, and in late 2008 went out into the world to gain more experience to bring back to the company later on in her career. Trent, the youngest, has been part of the hardworking cellar team at the Illaparra Winery since 2006 and more recently has spent time in the vineyard. All three children share Grant and Helen’s vision to continue this long family tradition of bringing exceptional wines to the world.
“I am a romantic, and I have a real sense of my family history, of my father and grandfather, and what they achieved.” Grant Burge

The beginning of a cool beach house ..... I took a walk along this beach this afternoon and couldn't believe this little construction!
All the driftwood has been tied together and there's a little seat made out of driftwood within ~ I'm sure they will be building a pool very soon!!
No. 6 365 ~ 2018 .... Construction ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all.

A trip to…Matera: it is an Italian city of Basilicata, its origins are very ancient, remote; Matera is characterized by the so-called "Sassi", they are a complex of districts consisting of Houses-Caves dug into the rock; in the past these houses-caves were evacuated (in 1952) by order of the then government, to prevent the Sassi from being a tangible manifestation of a poor and backward southern Italy, with the simultaneous construction of districts made up of new houses. Currently things have changed, the Sassi have been rediscovered and enhanced, they host B & Bs, restaurants, museums, exhibition halls in which to find exhibitions of modern art, and, thanks to their rediscovery, the Sassi have been recognized by UNESCO, heritage of humanity, and moreover, Matera has also been elected Capital of Culture of 2019.
The Sassi of Matera are therefore districts that constitute the oldest part of the city, there is the Sasso Barisano, there is the Sasso Caveoso, which are separated from each other by a Big Rock on which there is the "Civita", which is the central part of the old city, on top of which is the cathedral and noble palaces. In ancient times the inhabitants of the Sassi, exploiting the friability of the calcareous rock, created a complex system for conveying water into canals, which led to a network of cisterns, thus water, a precious element for those lands, immediately became available.
The Patron Saint of Matera is the Our Lady of Bruna, whose denomination has uncertain origins (there are various theories), I have photographed Her icon, visible in the Mother Church, and the Her statue with the Little Jesus in Her arms, which is carried in procession. The Sassi, due to their landscape features, were very often chosen to set a large number of films, just to mention a few, "the roaring years" by Luigi Zampa, "the Gospel according to Matthew" by Pier Paolo Pasolini, "Christ stopped at Eboli" by Francesco Rosi," the Passion of Christ" by Mel Gibson.
In my wanderings among the Sassi, I met many Street Artists, among them the artist Benedict Popescu, I also met a very nice Capuchin friar with a passion for photography, some sweet girls, Koreans, Beneventans and of Matera.

Una gita a…..Matera: essa è una città italiana della Basilicata, le sue origini sono antichissime, remote; Matera è caratterizzata dai cosiddetti “Sassi”, sono un complesso di rioni costituiti da Case-Grotte scavate nella roccia; queste Case-Grotte in passato furono evacuate (nel 1952) per ordine dell’allora governo, per impedire che i Sassi potessero essere una manifestazione tangibile di una Italia meridionale povera ed arretrata, con la contemporanea realizzazione di rioni costituiti da case nuove. Attualmente le cose sono cambiate, i Sassi sono stati riscoperti e valorizzati, essi ospitano B&B, ristoranti, musei, sale espositive nelle quali trovare anche mostre di arte moderna, e, grazie alla loro riscoperta, i Sassi sono stati riconosciuti dall’UNESCO, patrimonio dell’umanità, ed inoltre, Matera è stata anche eletta Capitale della cultura del 2019.
I Sassi di Matera sono quindi rioni che costituiscono la parte più antica della città, c’è il Sasso Barisano, c’è il Sasso Caveoso, i quali sono separati tra di loro da una rocca sulla quale c’è la Civita, che è la parte centrale della città vecchia, sulla cui sommità si trova la cattedrale ed i palazzi nobiliari. In epoche remote gli abitanti dei Sassi, sfruttando la friabilità della roccia calcarea, si ingegnarono nel realizzare un complesso sistema di convogliamento delle acque in canali, che conducevano in una rete di cisterne, in tal modo l’acqua, elemnto preziosissimo per quelle terre, diveniva immediatamente disponibile.
La Santa Patrona di Matera è la Madonna della Bruna, la cui denominazione ha origini incerte (vi sono varie teorie), io ho fotografato sia la sua icona, visibile nella chiesa Madre, sia la statua con in braccio il Bambinello, che viene portata in processione. I Sassi, per le loro caratteristiche paesaggistiche, sono stati molto spesso scelti per ambientare numerosissimi film, solo per ricordarne alcuni, “gli anni ruggenti” di Luigi Zampa, “il Vangelo secondo Matteo” di Pier Paolo Pasolini, “Cristo si è fermato ad Eboli” di Francesco Rosi, “la Passione di Cristo” di Mel Gibson.
Nel mio peregrinare tra i Sassi, ho incontrato molti Artisti di Strada, tra essi l’artista Benedict Popescu, credo unico nel suo genere, ho incontrato inoltre, un gentilissimo frate cappuccino con la passione della fotografia, delle dolcissime ragazze, Coreane, Beneventane e di Matera.
After purchasing the latest Victoire Roux from Integrity I decided to do a head swap with my Dynamite Girl, Aria. I have several Victoire dolls and they are beginning to all look the same to me! So I figures, what the heck! This is a great opportunity to give my Aria a bit of an upgrade!
I am thinking this is a better crop.
For Angel & Dixie... The light in your lives has touched me deeply. God is walking with you today... hand in hand.
I got new lens for my Kiev-60 after selling the Biometar 120mmF2.8.
"Carl Zeiss Jena MC Sonnar 180mmF2.8"
It`s deadly heavy and huge one, but Kiev-60 with this lens almost weigh as Helios40 85mm + 5D2 , lol.
My conclusion : Definitely I love this

The Volkswagen Type 1 is an economy car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. It used an air cooled rear engined rear wheel drive RR layout.
In the 1950s it was more comfortable and powerful than most European small cars, having been designed for sustained high speed on the Autobahn, and ultimately became the longest-running and most-produced automobile of a single design. It remained a top seller in the US, even as rear-wheel drive conventional subcompacts were refined, and eventually replaced by front-wheel drive models. Its success owed much to its extremely high build quality, and innovative and eye catching advertising. The Beetle car was the benchmark for both generations of American compact cars such as the Chevrolet Corvair, and subcompact cars such as the Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto. It was a German equivalent and counterpart to the Morris Minor, Renault 4CV, Citroen 2CV, Fiat 600, Saab 92, and Volvo PV444 immediate post war European economy cars. The 1959 Austin Mini that pioneered the use of the transverse front wheel drive FF layout, was the beginning of a switch to front wheel drive by European manufacturers in the 1960s and 1970s, Volkswagen were among the last to change with the Golf, after nearly going bankrupt. The Beetle was thirteen feet long and the Mini was only ten feet, but they had similar interior space.
The car was originally known as Käfer, the German word for "beetle", from which the popular English nickname originates. It was not until August 1967 that the Volkswagen corporation itself began using the name Beetle in marketing materials in the US. In Britain, VW never used the name Beetle officially. It had only been known as either the "Type I" or as the 1100, 1200, 1300, 1500, or 1600 which had been the names under which the vehicle was marketed in Europe; the numbers denoted the vehicle's approximate engine size in cubic centimetres. In 1998, many years after the original model had been dropped from the lineup in most of the world (production continued in Mexico until discontinued, officially on 9 July 2003), VW introduced the "New Beetle" (built on a Volkswagen Golf Mk4 platform) which bore a cosmetic resemblance to the original.

Der VW Käfer ist ein von 1938 bis 2003 von der heutigen Volkswagen AG produziertes Automodell und war bis Juni 2002 mit über 21,5 Millionen Exemplaren das meistverkaufte Automobil der Welt, bis er diesen Titel an seinen Nachfolger, den VW Golf, weitergab.
Die Ursprünge des VW Käfer gehen auf staatliche Bestrebungen des nationalsozialistischen Deutschland zur Schaffung eines für breite Bevölkerungsschichten erschwinglichen „Volkswagens", seinerzeit KdF-Wagen genannt, zurück. Großen Anteil an der Entwicklung hatte Ferdinand Porsche, der allgemein als Schöpfer des Käfers bezeichnet wird. Die Idee eines „Volkswagens“ ist in ihren Grundzügen aber älter als seine Entwicklung zur NS-Zeit.
Der KdF-Wagen wurde vor dem Krieg nicht mehr in Serie produziert, weil das im Mai 1938 gegründete Volkswagenwerk bei Fallersleben (heute ein Stadtteil Wolfsburgs) noch nicht fertig war. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden dort Militärfahrzeuge und andere Rüstungsgüter hergestellt, sodass die serienmäßige Produktion des dann Volkswagen genannten Wagens erst im Sommer 1945 beginnen konnte. Bis zum Jahresende 1945 wurden 1785 Wagen hergestellt und an die Besatzungsmächte sowie an die Deutsche Post geliefert. Ab 1946 konnte der VW mit Bezugsschein zum Preis von 5000 Reichsmark auch privat gekauft werden.

ODC2 - Beginning with G
14/07/11
G is for Girl. This didn't really turn out the way I wanted. it's zoomed in a bit too close I wish I had some more room on the sides for her dress to show, BUT have you ever tried to tell a nerly 3 year old to sit still for more then a millisecond...lol she's also getting really grumpy so to speak when she doesn't get what she wants.haha so this is the best of the many I took of Ella today.
The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
It's time to start all over, make a new beginning
There's too much pain, too much suffering
Let's resolve to start all over make a new beginning
Now don't get me wrong I love life and living
But when you wake up and look around at everything that's going down
All wrong
You see we need to change it now, this world with too few happy endings
We can resolve to start all over make a new beginning

Welcome to the constellation Vela, where the cosmos tells a story of creation and destruction. At the center of this image lies RCW 38, a stellar nursery where young stars are born amidst glowing gas and dust, lighting up their surroundings.
In the bottom-right, the striking Pencil Nebula (NGC 2736) is a glowing filament of the Vela Supernova Remnant, a structure formed by a massive stellar explosion thousands of years ago. Next to it, the blue filaments - highlighted using an OIII filter - trace ionized oxygen gas, part of the same remnant. Nearby stars like c Vel, f Vel, and g Vel shine brightly within this tapestry of light.
In contrast, the serene NGC 2670 star cluster in the top-left adds a sense of calm to this dynamic scene.
This image was processed in the HOO palette, combining hydrogen and oxygen emissions to create the vibrant reds and blues. It represents over 14h of imaging time and careful post-processing to bring out these intricate details.

Mating season is beginning for goats and other ruminants, and males show their randiness by flapping their tongue and making whup-whup noises. Jack had just spooked off Lilian when I took this photos. He lives with six other goats at Belmont Audubon Habitat. I took care of them tonight, after my visit to nearby Gore Place, seen in previous photos.

"In the beginning, before the creation of the world, the earth was completely covered by a vast ocean and the sky was all gray clouds. The cloud kingdom was ruled by the great Sha-lana. Sha-lana's Chief servant was Raven."
"One day Raven enraged his master and was cast out into the ocean world. He flew over the ocean for a long period of time until he became weary. Unable to find a place to rest, Raven became angry. He began to beat his wings upon the water until the water rose up and touched the clouds around him."
"When the water receded back into the ocean there appeared rocks upon which Raven rested. These rocks grew and stretched across the ocean. The rocks turned into sand and after a short period of time trees began to grow on the sand. After many moons the sand had turned into beautiful islands, which we know today as the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii)."
"Raven enjoyed his kingdom, yet he became bored and lonely. He decided he needed someone to help him. So one day he gathered two large piles of clam shells upon the beach and transformed them into two human females. These two women complained saying that they should not have both been created as women. So to make them happy Raven threw limpet shells at one and turned her into a man, creating the Haida Gwaii people."
