It's calling out to you. The dark side of yourself within the mirror You must go forth and enter the forbidden realm. Will you return from this weird dream?
I've been wanting to make this one for a while now but I thought the standard headpiece wasn't good enough. So now I used the batgirl headpiece and it seems to work.
Mandraki Harbour, Rhodes.
I would love to make a video of my trips to Rhodes old town but currently do not have the time but found a video on youtube.
Dunwich is a sleepy village on the Suffolk coast that was once a bustling port before the sea took its toll. .... Explore # 310
For the Jules’ Photo Challenge Group. “Where do you sleep” When we got home to New Orleans this time, our sweet friend Mary Anne had left a grand surprise of decorations, dinner, and champagne too! What a super homecoming! Bedroom through the door.
King's College, University of Cambridge. What a pleasure it is to stroll by here and to see the architecture against the sunset colours. A snap from today as the sun set behind Wilkins Screen wall (1828).
I know beyond a doubt, ow!
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing...

The original fishing boats of the San Francisco fleet were called Feluccas…small, open, sail powered craft that the fishermen would use to catch shrimp, sardine and Dungeness crab…with the arrival of engine power in the 20’s, a vast new fleet of Monterey Hull fishing boats became the back bone of the fleet…powered mostly by a single piston motor, the boats would make the sound, “ja-pop…ja-pop…ja-pop” as it glided through the waters of the bay…at it’s peak, around 500 of the craft were part of the fleet…but with more room needed for bigger hauls, the Monterey Clipper was soon to become a collector's item…In my times working at local boat yards, I enjoyed working on the old classics…Today their numbers have dwindled drastically with many becoming flower pots and serving as fodder for tourists cameras…
Beyond the valley, rich blue lakes glisten, with hints of a breeze disturbing their glassy morning coat. The leaves have turned and fallen except for a few...Well it looks like I missed this weekends first grip of winter, so il continue to post autumn for a little longer!
Who got out and about in the Lakeland winter this weekend, where did you go? ⛄️

I have not taken or posted any photos for a while. The reason for this hiatus is my wife died suddenly and unexpectedly. We had been together for 45 years. I now know what grief feels like. She was my constant companion under the stars as I captured images of the night sky. After one month I have decided that my wife would have wanted me to carry on with my passion. So my first image in my altered state is me and my wife who is still with me in spirit from the starry heavens above.
Der Große Tiergarten in Berlin ist eine zentral im Ortsteil Tiergarten des Bezirks Mitte gelegene Parkanlage, die sich auf 210 Hektar (2,1 km²) erstreckt. Einige breite Straßen durchschneiden den Park; sie kreuzen sich am Großen Stern, in dessen Mitte die Siegessäule steht. Ein erster Tiergarten wurde schon 1527 an anderer Stelle angelegt, nämlich in der Nähe des Berliner Schlosses, westlich der Berliner Stadtmauer. Das kleine Gebiet wurde seit 1530 nach Westen und Norden hin durch Zukäufe erweitert, bis zu den Grenzen des heutigen Tiergartens und darüber hinaus. Man setzte Wildtiere aus und hinderte sie durch Zäune daran, auf die umliegenden Äcker zu entweichen. Das Gelände diente als Jagdrevier der Kurfürsten von Brandenburg. Als die Stadt Berlin wuchs, wurde das Jagdgebiet nach und nach verkleinert. Friedrich der Große schätzte die Jagd nicht. 1742 gab er den Auftrag, die Zäune niederreißen zu lassen und den Tiergarten zu einem barocken Lustpark für die Bevölkerung umzugestalten. Ab 1818 gestaltete ihn Peter Joseph Lenné zu einem Landschaftspark nach englischem Vorbild um. In der Form, die Lenné ihm gegeben hatte, bestand der Park nahezu unverändert bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde der Tiergarten durch Luftangriffe der Alliierten schwer beschädigt. Unmittelbar nach Kriegsende diente die Ost-West-Achse zeitweise als Flugpiste, auf der Siegessäule war ein Kontrollposten stationiert. In der Nachkriegszeit wurden Bäume und Sträucher aufgrund des Kohlemangels verheizt, auf den freien Flächen wurden Kartoffeln und Gemüse angebaut, eine offiziell von den britischen Besatzungstruppen genehmigte vorübergehende Nutzung: es entstanden etwa 2550 Parzellen. Von ehemals rund 200.000 Bäumen standen noch etwa 700. Die Gewässer waren verschlammt, alle Brücken zerstört, die Denkmäler umgestürzt und beschädigt. Am 2. Juli 1945 beschloss der Magistrat von Berlin die Wiederherstellung des Großen Tiergartens.

Großer Tiergarten "Great Animal Garden") in Berlin is a park centrally located in the Tiergarten district of the Mitte borough, covering 210 hectares (2.1 km²). Several wide streets cut through the park; they intersect at the Großer Stern, in the centre of which stands the Victory Column. A first Animal Garden was laid out elsewhere as early as 1527, near the Berlin Palace, to the west of the Berlin city wall. From 1530 onwards, the small area was extended to the west and north by acquisitions, up to and beyond the boundaries of today's Großer Tiergarten. Wild animals were released and prevented by fences from escaping to the surrounding fields. The area served as a hunting ground for the Electors of Brandenburg. As the city of Berlin grew, the hunting ground was gradually reduced. Frederick the Great did not appreciate hunting. In 1742 he ordered the fences to be torn down and the Tiergarten to be transformed into a Baroque pleasure park for the people. From 1818, Peter Joseph Lenné redesigned it into a landscape park based on the English model. In the form that Lenné had given it, the park existed almost unchanged until the middle of the 20th century. During the Second World War, the GroßerTiergarten was severely damaged by Allied air raids. In the post-war period, trees and shrubs were burned in the peoples' homes due to the lack of coal, and potatoes and vegetables were grown on the vacant land, a temporary use officially approved by the British occupation forces: about 2550 plots were created. Only about 700 of the former 200,000 trees were left standing. The waters were silted up, all bridges destroyed, the monuments overturned and damaged. On 2 July 1945, the Berlin City Administration decided to restore the Großer Tiergarten.
Happy fence Friday, everyone.
My brother Doug and I lodged for two nights in August, 2018 at the Meadows Inn B & B at Middlebury, Indiana and we really enjoyed the place. I took this photo of some of their farm buildings during a little walk around the property.

A massive, spacetime-warping cluster of galaxies is the setting of today’s NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image. The galaxy cluster in question is Abell 209, located 2.8 billion light-years away in the constellation Cetus (the Whale).
This Hubble image of Abell 209 shows more than a hundred galaxies, but there’s more to this cluster than even Hubble’s discerning eye can see. Abell 209’s galaxies are separated by millions of light-years, and the seemingly empty space between the galaxies is filled with hot, diffuse gas that is visible only at X-ray wavelengths. An even more elusive occupant of this galaxy cluster is dark matter: a form of matter that does not interact with light. Dark matter does not absorb, reflect, or emit light, effectively making it invisible to us. Astronomers detect dark matter by its gravitational influence on normal matter. Astronomers surmise that the universe is comprised of 5% normal matter, 25% dark matter, and 70% dark energy.
