so this is old
but i really love it
even if it is a bit boring
i've been experimenting with processing
this is one of the products of that
and thank you for 40,000 photostream views :)
What #258 lacks in cleanliness it more than makes up for in horsepower as four units power the train east at Cockrell Lane. A fifth unit was on the rear end pushing. That's a record for any 20T/258 train that I have ever seen.

Makriyalos (Μακρύγιαλος, Makriyalos) is a long sandy beach located 60 km east of Agios Nikolaos, 32 km south of Sitia and 26 km east of Ierapetra, on the south coast of Crete. The beach Makrylylos is fully equipped, there are umbrellas and sun loungers, changing cabins and showers.
In the area of Makriilos beach there are many hotels and apartments where you can rent a room; a wide choice of taverns, where you can enjoy Cretan cuisine and fresh fish. Also on Makriyalos beach you can go in for water sports or rent a boat and visit the islands of Chrysi or Koufonisi. Makriyalos was awarded several times with the Blue Flag for the cleanliness and equipment of the beach. Since the infrastructure around the beach Makrylylos is well developed, it is usually quite crowded. Listen 🙏

Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
The moment of observation is the real find ...
Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
The meaning of all this is the process!
Find someone who inspires shooting the camera!

Often we are visited by thoughts that may reveal something unknown ... Our mind many times tries to solve a problem with known methods ... This is its main mistake! The path of the heart opens the doors that appear in our path. It is a pity that not everyone has the courage to insert the keys that are always with us ...

This is the famous Jama Masjid in Old Delhi. The man cleaning the premises, a selfless service to the almighty.
Not much time to post -- so:
a) This is a scrubby. Or whatever you call it. You know, to clean yourself. In the shower. Does it have a technical name? We'll call it a "Sponge Nexus."
b) Waterdrops!
c) Bokeh! HBW!
d) If you look real close, you can actually see a refraction in one of the drops -- it's the Declaration of Independence.
e) I'm lying about d).
f) Bye!

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) typically dominate other fox species. Arctic foxes generally escape competition from red foxes by living farther north, where food is too scarce to support the larger-bodied red species. Although the red species' northern limit is linked to the availability of food, the Arctic species' southern range is limited by the presence of the former. Red and Arctic foxes were both introduced to almost every island from the Aleutian Islands to the Alexander Archipelago during the 1830s–1930s by fur companies. The red foxes invariably displaced the Arctic foxes, with one male red fox having been reported to have killed off all resident Arctic foxes on a small island in 1866. Where they are sympatric, Arctic foxes may also escape competition by feeding on lemmings and flotsam, rather than voles, as favoured by red foxes. Both species will kill each other's kits, given the opportunity.
Red foxes are serious competitors of corsac foxes, as they hunt the same prey all year. The red species is also stronger, is better adapted to hunting in snow deeper than 10 cm (4 in) and is more effective in hunting and catching medium to large-sized rodents. Corsac foxes seem to only outcompete red foxes in semi-desert and steppe areas. In Israel, Blanford's foxes escape competition with red foxes by restricting themselves to rocky cliffs and actively avoiding the open plains inhabited by red foxes.:84–85 Red foxes dominate kit and swift foxes. Kit foxes usually avoid competition with their larger cousins by living in more arid environments, though red foxes have been increasing in ranges formerly occupied by kit foxes due to human-induced environmental changes. Red foxes will kill both species, and compete for food and den sites. Grey foxes are exceptional, as they dominate red foxes wherever their ranges meet. Historically, interactions between the two species were rare, as grey foxes favoured heavily wooded or semiarid habitats as opposed to the open and mesic ones preferred by red foxes. However, interactions have become more frequent due to deforestation allowing red foxes to colonise grey fox-inhabited areas.
Wolves may kill and eat red foxes in disputes over carcasses. In areas in North America where red fox and coyote populations are sympatric, fox ranges tend to be located outside coyote territories. The principal cause of this separation is believed to be active avoidance of coyotes by the foxes. Interactions between the two species vary in nature, ranging from active antagonism to indifference. The majority of aggressive encounters are initiated by coyotes, and there are few reports of red foxes acting aggressively toward coyotes except when attacked or when their kits were approached. Foxes and coyotes have sometimes been seen feeding together. In Israel, red foxes share their habitat with golden jackals. Where their ranges meet, the two canids compete due to near identical diets. Foxes ignore jackal scents or tracks in their territories, and avoid close physical proximity with jackals themselves. In areas where jackals become very abundant, the population of foxes decreases significantly, apparently because of competitive exclusion.
Red foxes dominate raccoon dogs, sometimes killing their kits or biting adults to death. Cases are known of foxes killing raccoon dogs entering their dens. Both species compete for mouse-like prey. This competition reaches a peak during early spring, when food is scarce. In Tartaria, red fox predation accounted for 11.1% of deaths among 54 raccoon dogs, and amounted to 14.3% of 186 raccoon dog deaths in north-western Russia.
Red foxes may kill small mustelids like weasels, stone martens, pine martens, stoats, kolonoks, polecats and young sables. Eurasian badgers may live alongside red foxes in isolated sections of large burrows. It is possible that the two species tolerate each other out of mutualism; foxes provide badgers with food scraps, while badgers maintain the shared burrow's cleanliness.:15 However, cases are known of badgers driving vixens from their dens and destroying their litters without eating them. Wolverines may kill red foxes, often while the latter are sleeping or near carrion. Foxes in turn may kill unattended young wolverines.
Red foxes may compete with striped hyenas on large carcasses. Red foxes may give way to hyenas on unopened carcasses, as the latter's stronger jaws can easily tear open flesh that is too tough for foxes. Foxes may harass hyenas, using their smaller size and greater speed to avoid the hyena's attacks. Sometimes, foxes seem to deliberately torment hyenas even when there is no food at stake. Some foxes may mistime their attacks, and are killed.:77–79 Fox remains are often found in hyena dens, and hyenas may steal foxes from traps.
In Eurasia, red foxes may be preyed upon by leopards, caracals and Eurasian lynxes. The lynxes chase red foxes into deep snow, where their longer legs and larger paws give them an advantage over foxes, especially when the depth of the snow exceeds one metre. In the Velikoluki district in Russia, red foxes are absent or are seen only occasionally where lynxes establish permanent territories. Researchers consider lynxes to represent considerably less danger to red foxes than wolves do. North American felid predators of red foxes include cougars, Canadian lynxes and bobcats. Occasionally, large raptors such as Eurasian eagle owls will prey on young foxes, while golden eagles have been known to kill adults.
"Aghori"
The Aghori are a Shaivite Hindu sect mostly composed of ascetic sadhus.
The Aghori ascetic is himself a symbol of the God Shiva in Shiva's form as Bhairava. The main symbol which makes him distinct from other sadhus is the skull cup he uses as a begging bowl. He goes naked or wears the shroud of a corpse, covers himself in the ashes of the cremation ground and always has his hair disheveled or in matted dreadlocks. If an aghori uses a corpse as part of his ritual worship, it is a symbol of his own body, and the corpse-devouring ritual is a symbol of the transcendence of his lower self and a realization of the greater, all pervading Self that is universal consciousness. Another symbol of the Aghori, which ties him to the affiliation of Bhairava and links aghoris together with other Saiva and Sakta traditions, is the trident. The three pronged trident staff in Tantric Hinduism, which aghoris follow, is a symbol representing the three constituents with which Shiva and Shakti first created the universe: iccha shakti (power of will/desire/intention), jnana shakti (power of knowledge - the preconceived architectural design of the universe), and kriya shakti (the power of action). The staff part of a trident in Hinduism represents the human spinal cord, of which the sushumna nadi runs along. The sushumna nadi is the main nerve current, or meridian, in the human body which is the track that the kundalini energy rises up, bringing the Aghori or yogi, or meditation practitioner into full spiritual enlightenment, nirvana, or more precisely nirvikalpa samadhi.
Aghoris base their beliefs on two principles common to broader Shaivite dogma: that Shiva is perfect (omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, etc.) and that Shiva is responsible for everything that occurs – all conditions, causes and effects – in the phenomenal universe. Consequently, everything that exists must be perfect, and to deny the perfection of anything would be to deny the sacredness of all life in its full manifestation, as well as to deny the supreme being and the demigods' perfections.
An Aghor aspirant performs a “ghor tapasya” (very severe penance or self-mortification). During this period, he lives a shelter less and means less life in total isolation, completely detached from the worldly affairs. He does not care at all about his own physical conditions. His only mission during this period is to experience and realize that divine power, the “Shakti”. This kind of severe “Tapasya” is known only in Aghor tradition. This is how an Aughar attains a spiritual elevation. Aughar is actually a high stage in seekers life when all rules are finished. It is the highest discipline, without any worldly discipline. Contrary to accepted practice for religious sects, Aughars have no rules for eating, sleeping, cleanliness or wearing particular robes. For them there is no difference between the water in the gutter and the sacred water from the Ganges river. For them there is no difference between a diet of pure fruit and vegetables and the decayed flesh of dead animals. They are above good and bad.
To carry forward the message of a Green but Clean Goa
The Carnaval does offer some salutary themes and I hope the world sees it and realises that Goa is aware of the malaise of overflowing waste disposal bins and corruption that reeks in this tiny holiday state of India.
This is a portrait of one of the participants of the team representing the municipal cleanliness ( or the lack of it). The eyes are over the top stretch and a bit of side border has been added to complete the frame and filled in with a part of the bokeh and the hat.

“Cleanliness of the mouth,” which means protecting your mouth from excessive verbosity and foul language.
All of my stuff downstairs! It took AGES!!! And this is only a little bit of it!!! The rest is my upstairs spring clean!!
"Security, cleanliness, can sleep well" it seems to be a concept to this hotel.
I do not know what "super" the common accommodations.
There seems to be this hotel in the whole country more than 100. I intend to stay next time.
If a window is opened by that height, it is splendid added value for me.
On July 11, 2014 in the Shin Marunouchi Building.

「安全・清潔・ぐっすり眠れる」がコンセプトだそうです。
どこら辺が普通の宿泊施設を超越しているのかわかりませんが、
全国に100以上あるそうなので、今度泊まってみようかと思います。
あの高さで窓が開けられるなら、僕にとっては素晴らしい付加価値です。

Whichever way you want to look at it, Manila is a fascinating city. In a very different fashion than anything I've experienced in Japan. There the very order and cleanliness is such that you're tempted to walk across a lawn, to drop a wrapper, to sneeze loudly in public, to go Habu-snake hunting, even though you can't read the signs that forbid such Gross Indecent Impoliteness and Danger. Here in Manila the utter clutter and the perpetual dirt is sense-boggling until you begin to find your way and become attuned to the great variety of smells both foul and sweet of a poverty-driven tropical Asian city and to the cacaphony of its traffic.
I chose to be near Rizal Park, devoted to the 'George Washington' of Philippine national independence, José Rizal. The park is overwhelmingly large with much nationalist statuary; rather crumbling, though, and falling apart, and also with many homeless people (generally with a smile for the Tourist with the Funny Japanese Hat). Whatever... I came here especially for the Japanese and Chinese Gardens and the Orchidarium. They'd been highly recommended. I was sorely disappointed. The Chinese and Japanese Gardens are scratchy affairs badly maintained, dry ponds, broken steps and paths. Plants not cultivated. Even the weeds - yes! those favorites of mine - seemed 'tired'. The Orchidarium is closed 'for renovation' and is - I was told by a 'street-person' - open only to wedding parties who want to pose prettily. She even made a joke of it, as you might expect.
Today I walked around the Old City, Intramuros, maybe five kilometers or so. At least as far as I was allowed. A large swathe of the beautiful lawns and greens are the very private Intramuros Golf Club. Fenced out are scores of derelicts who make themselves a home between the perimeter fence and the trees lining a major highway, and also anyone else who's not a member. Nowhere though did I have a sense of insecurity, and when I lost my way along the Pasig River - my presumed passageway has been blocked off by another grate - I was led back to a throughway by a pack of half-naked boys diving up from the incredibly dirty waters. Here, too, everything was 'broken' - even one or two of the lads -, but for the weeds!
Making my way to Fort Santiago and yet another shrine to José Rizal (1861-1896), I climbed onto the Bulwarks. Weeds, again, of course. Among them this pretty Desmodium paniculatum.
Great Carolus Linnaeus on the authority of Johannes Fredericus Gronovius (1686-1772) calls it Hedysarum paniculatum. But it received its Desmodian name from Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (1778-1841) in 1825. It is said to grow in dry woods and fields from New York southwards to Virginia. Since then - and perhaps earlier even if botanists didn't notice - it's been naturalised all over the world. Also on the dry grounds of the stony Ramparts of Intramuros, Manila, where I could greet it as an Old Friend.
The flower of this member of the bean family measures about 10 by 6-7 mm.
In 2010 fourteen Volvo B9TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 2, numbers 937 to 950 were introduced on the 100 Airlink service and then in 2015 some went to Lothian Country in green and cream, and now here is 949 (SN10 DLF) now 20949 working for Lothian's East Coast Buses - quite a varied life she's had!
This picture was taken behind glass on a bus travelling in the opposite direction and these kind of shots are very hit or miss - factors like the cleanliness of the window, taking the photo of a moving bus whilst travelling on another moving bus! The light plays a big role in this too and the percentage of shots that are good enough to show is normally very low. This one worked alright with the sun fortunately in the right position.
On this evening Service 113 Gemini 20949 is approaching journey's end at Musselburgh.
April fools! Found this outhouse along the shore and it reminded me of a photography book by Sherman Hines and Ray Guy called "Outhouses of Nova Scotia" I wonder if they checked out all the outhouses for functionality and cleanliness.the East

Cleanliness is next to Godliness - but when the only tool you own is a hammer - every problem looks like a nail.
meine Besen-Sammlung - collection
Broom for the hand - Brosse à la main - Handfeger
Show me your broom and I'll tell you who you are ...
Montre-moi ton balai et je te dirai qui tu es ...
Zeige mir Deinen Besen und ich sage Dir, wer Du bist ...
One of the first tools of mankind is a broom. However, the street sweepers and cleaners are often despised in society, because they take care of dirt and waste. The housework is usually undervalued. However, order and cleanliness are part of the culture.
L'un des premiers outils de l'humanité est le balai. Toutefois, les balayeuses et les nettoyeurs sont souvent méprisés dans la société, car ils prennent soin de la saleté et les déchets. Le ménage est généralement sous-évalué. Cependant, l'ordre et la propreté font partie de la culture.
Eines der ersten Werkzeuge der Menschheit sind Besen. Allerdings sind die Straßenfeger und Putzfrauen häufig in der Gesellschaft verachtet, weil sie sich um Dreck und Abfall kümmern. Auch die Hausarbeit wird meist unterbewertet. Ordnung und Sauberkeit allerdings sind Errungenschaft der Kultur.
