I saw this cute tennis racket backdrop at Backdrop City and immediately brought images to my mind of those sweaty moments between sets: sun beating down; the sweat cooling on you; and that sip of icy cold water giving you the chills. Hope the pic gives you a little of the same feeling. Thanks to Alicia West, www.flickr.com/photos/149709514@N05/ for her suggestions in picking which take to use and to do a little burn in cleanup of the pic. ❤️

Thievery Corporation--Music to make you Stagger
Here is an odd sight - the backdrop seems like a fake movie set design. The settlement behind and to the right are using snow shovels to clear their drives, the people in the foreground cutting their grass.

My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, for the camera's eye may entirely change my idea.

I for one love the rain, just like The Beatles
Please no oversized group award pictures. Thank you. :-)
The time between Christmas and New Year usually means a big family stroll. This year we all met up at National Trust's Calke Abbey on a very sunny Boxing Day. 'Proper' cameras are banned, but I seem to get away with taking my bridge camera, useful for a few snaps.
The channel between islands and between rains. Rough Island and Rabbit Island near Nelson in New Zealand's South island in a moment of calm between showers at the end of a rainy three days.

The fence between us and our neighbour JP was flattened when an old tree broke in half
and fell on it. It was in rough shape all ready so it didn't take much. When we first moved here,
there was no fence at all, there were two lovely big hazelnut trees which straddled the
property line. It was quite lovely for about fifteen years, then we got a new neighbour,
whom I named "Shithead", long story ...and he cut down the trees and put up a fence.
All the remaining fencing is getting very old as are we, we have replaced our back and side
fences with our other neighbours. I don't think JP can afford new fencing and I don't care.
He is a collector of car stuff as are his kids. We get along, help each other, much more
important that new fences and manicured yards.
listening to Warren Zevon - "Don't Let Us Get Sick
Don't let us get sick, don't let us get old
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave and make us play nice
And let us be together tonight
The moon has a face and it smiles on the lake
And causes the ripples in time
I'm lucky to be here with someone I like
Who maketh my spirit to shine

- thank you my friends for helping my spirit to shine
It's usually a short wait at this handsome shelter. Good urban design, with, between the lines, a view of the bay .
Happy Bench Monday!

“The viewing church is located in the Hesbaye hills south of Borgloon/Belgium, between the town and the Roman Cobblestone, and can be considered as landscape art. The whole is made up of horizontal corten steel plates, connected by welded square plates. The whole is inserted on a concrete foundation in the rolling Loon landscape. The shape refers to the archetype of the Western European church.
This "little church", situated on a footpath, looks very strange. As one gets closer, it gradually turns out that it is not a church. The "building" is, by the use of horizontally placed steel plates, more or less transparent, hence the name of the work of art. This transparency is all the more apparent when you enter the "church".
In mid-June 2016, the viewing church served as the backdrop for a musical event Listening between the Sounds by the vocal ensemble Florilegium. In the early morning, the first cello suite by J.S. Bach was performed there, followed by Gregorian music, the Flemish polyphony with Pierre de la Rue, Arvo Pärt and an impressive 4'33" silence by John Cage, in which the conductor quietly stopped conducting the arms raised.”

On my morning walk to Sunoka Beach Park I saw these marker bouys nicely placed between the trunks of these three trees.

BNSF's Thayer North subdivision between Springfield and Thayer, Missouri, has three large grades that pose a challenge for southbound coal traffic on the line.
BNSF recently bought new heavier GEs to put on their Palos coal trains which are the heaviest on the line, weighing in at just under 20,000 tons. This allows them to reduce the number of units per train from five to four.
This Palos train only had two heavies on the head end and two older SD70ACe's on the rear, causing the train to stall on the 1.5 percent Whetstone grade near Mountain Grove, Missouri, during a torrential downpour. A manned helper set was dispatched to get the train as far as it could before the crew died at Olden siding, 111 miles from where they started in Springfield.
With three hours between Wednesday's targets there was ample time to grab a bite to eat and reconnoitre a few locations in the Millom area for future reference.
That done I returned to one of them, Aggie's Lonning, for a go at the 14.37 BIF - CAR on the front of which I knew was 37402.
Located on the opposite side of this stretch of line is Millom's "down" distant semaphore and I wanted to include it in the compo' for this one.
Unfortunately the electrically operated signal's attendant grey boxes are on this side, their unwelcome intrusion ruining any attempt to incorporate it.
I had to make do with a mile-post and a few snow-capped south western fells to generate something extra.
Fortunately a couple appeared walking toward me and stopped to take a look as the train approached and they add a tiny bit of something to the composition.
Not only was it bloody cold here an hour before sunset but a bank of cloud was approaching from the west, providing a nervy few moments as 402 seemed to take an age to trundle around the coast from Kirby in Furness.
Within 15 minutes the sun was gone from here.
