Jubilee weekend we went for a day out in York, which is only a 45 minute drive from where I live.
At Brew York for a refreshing drink. This lovely view was at the rear of the bar.

We were in Leeds again for a Smyths gig on Saturday so we went to Leeds First Friday too.
A quiet night around Leeds. We started at Pieminister then on to The Bridge, followed by Queens Court then back to the Bridge for Vicki to do karaoke. Then on to the Pack Horse.
We didn't take any pictures after The Pack Horse so I can't say for certain where we went after that!
Nice comments without copied/pasted group icons etc. are welcome. .
As Flickr is a sharing site I only add my pictures to public groups.
Photography experience courses available, please email for details.

It was so good to be back in Lincoln for a weekend after missing it last year. We love Lincoln, it's such a beautiful city.
Saturday started out pretty grey but dry enough to get out and enjoy the day. I spent a lovely afternoon in the Arboretum - what a beautiful place!
Various pictures from around the arboretum.
The nuns are in fact very happy that this young, half naked couple poses with them. hum hum

Part of I object: Ian Hislop's search for dissent
(September 2018 – January 2019)
A wide variety of objects are on display in the exhibition – from graffiti on a Babylonian brick to a banknote with hidden rude words, from satirical Turkish shadow puppets to a recently acquired ‘pussy’ hat worn on a women’s march. See what tales these objects tell – sometimes deadly serious, often humorous, always with conviction. Unlock the messages and symbols these people used, and get closer to understanding them...
This history in 100(ish) objects shows that people have always challenged and undermined orthodox views in order to enable change. They even did so despite the establishment usually taking a pretty dim view – for most of history you could expect a gruesome punishment, up to and including death, for this kind of subversive behaviour. This suggests that maybe we are programmed to dissent – it’s just part of who we are. Ultimately, the exhibition will show that questioning authority, registering protest and generally objecting are an integral part of what makes us human.

The following happened in Hamilton County, Texas. After the Civil War, Texas was still plagued by Indians; however, with cattle roaming free on the range, many were willing to take their chances with the Comanches. Men began to flock to the area, seeing fortunes to be made by rounding up beef and driving them north.
It was perhaps this very thing that was at least indirectly responsible for the success of one of the most frightening Indian attacks in the history of Hamilton County, Texas.
The day was Thursday, July 9, 1867, the time 2:00 P.M….just another school day for the children who attended what was called a border school on the Comanche/Hamilton County line.
The schoolhouse was a one-room log house, the logs unchinked with the spaces between them left open so that a least some breeze might find its way through the spaces.
It was an easy matter for someone to look inside the building from the outside…or shoot inside for that matter. There was also one very small window cut into the north side of the building.
On this hot afternoon the young daughter of Alex Powers walked to the door of the schoolhouse which faced south; as she stood there, she saw a party of men on horseback riding rapidly toward the school. She called to her teacher, Miss Ann Whitney, that she could see Indians riding toward them.
Miss Whitney, who believed that the men were rounding up range cattle, told the girl to return to her seat. The Powers girl took one more look out the door, and crying out that it was indeed Indians bearing down upon them, grabbed her little brother and the two of them went out the back window.
Miss Whitney then ran to the door and seeing Comanches racing toward the schoolhouse, she quickly shut the door and began to help the children escape out the back window. Soon painted red skins were looking in through the spaces between the logs, and Ann Whitney could read her future in their faces.
It is thought that the leader of the group had at least some white blood in him, but this may have been an assumption since he knew some broken English. He said to the teacher, “Damn you, we’ve got you!”
According to a student who had hidden under the schoolhouse, Miss Whitney began to pace the front of the room, begging the Indians to kill her and let the children go. The leader then held up three fingers and the Indians began to shoot through the cracks, riddling her with arrows.
At this time there were still three children inside with the teacher: Mary Jane Manning and two small sons and a daughter of James Kuykendall (Coo Ken Doll).
The Manning girl refused to let go of her teacher’s skirts as Miss Whitney paced up and down the room bleeding profusely and pleading for the lives of the children. When the Indians began to break through the schoolhouse door, the teacher helped the two girls through the back window. However, the little Kuykendall girl was shot in the back as the Comanches managed to get into the schoolhouse.
This left Ann Whitney and the two small Kuykendall boys in the room; as the Indians gained entrance to the school the brave Miss Ann Whitney fell dead, leaving two little boys alone with the savage Comanches.
For reasons no one understands only John Kuykendall was kidnapped by the savages. One Indian found some of the children hiding under the floor of the building and pulled out a little girl named Olivia Barbee, intending to steal her. However, one of the other Comanches called out to him and while his attention was diverted, the girl escaped into the woods. It would be many months (Some accounts say two years.) before young John Kuykendall was rescued.
Both Comanche and Hamilton Counties lay claim to this brave schoolteacher. Miss Whitney taught for several years in Comanche County where the rest of her family lived. I assume that she was in Hamilton County only to teach this summer session; however, I could easily be wrong about that.
The marker on the Ann Whitney Elementary School in Hamilton, Texas reads: “…Pioneer schoolteacher of Hamilton and Comanche Counties…”
I was looking through several members' streams and found on Boo_Boo_Kitty's that she has started watermarking her photos because of the current furore on usage of copyrighted photos posted to Flickr.
Below was my comment.
Re your note, I saw this too. I am annoyed by this too but wouldn't go so far as to watermark my photos. I think it spoils the photo.
The questions for me was 'Am I ever going to try and sell any of my photos?' and 'Would I enjoy seeing my photos used or published?' For me it was no and yes in that order so I chose Some rights reserved with Attribution. You must give the original author credit.
I have, for example, a book on Asia on my bookshelf with my photo of the Great Wall, a travel guide for South Africa with my elephant photo on the front cover and my car club magazine with my photo of my car on the front cover (OK I submitted the last one!)
If you put All rights reserved anyone who does use your photo is not going to tell you and you will only be annoyed if you find out. If you allow usage with accreditation you will find many (of course not all) people still asking if they may use your photo and offering a copy of the publication or the link to their web site.
I have seen several of my photos published and even created a set for published photos.
Putting all possible restrictions on uploaded photos can't stop someone doing a screen grab and using that as mobile phone wallpaper, in a blog and so on. Even your faint watermark would be barely visible on a mobile phone.
If I had a photo I wanted to sell or have restricted usgae I wouldn't put it on Flickr.
Hope I don't seem like I am on my soapbox, it's just my point of view.
What do others think?
Your comments will help me improve my photography good bad or indifferent so all comments are accepted and appreciated! But please do be respectful!

Details and History
This stereoview, titled "10814. Mexican Bull Ring - The Fall of the Picador", comes from the Keystone View Company. The preceding image in the series entitled "10813 - Mexican Bull Ring - Flaunting the Scarlet" was found at the Library of Congress and may also be viewed as an animated gif. The Wikipedia page on bullfighting offers a great deal of relevant history and context. One reference therein notes that more horses died in the ring than bulls until padded armor was introduced in the 1930s.

Technical trivia
A digital image was scanned with an Epson scanner using the levels control to independently clip the red, green, and blue channels at the limit of useful density. Aggressive noise reduction with Noiseware Pro reduced artifacts in the print as well as physical damage (i.e. scratches). The digital image was rotated until level (arbitrary) and the borders were cropped. Subsequent image rotations, scaling, alignment, color correction and animated gif generation done with StereoPhotoMaker, a freeware program by Masuji Suto & David Sykes.

"Tragedy In Waiting"- OAR
It's a tragedy in waiting
when something's on my mind
And it's hard enough for me to carry on
It's a tragedy in waiting when something's on my mind
And it's hard enough for me to carry on
Call it pleasure if you lie
But believe me when I say a busy mind will learn to change it all
It's not like I am asking for the world to fall apart
I know that it's eventually to come
Sometimes we might fall
Stand up taller
Someday we may graduate into a perfect state of mind
Have you ever left your suitcase open long after you land?
And you're scared to fold away all of your clothes
Destiny may wait, but the present day's at hand
They forgot to tell me how to end this show
Could it be that I'm the one who tied my hands behind my back?
I know that it is possible for now
Sometime we might fall
Stand up taller
Someday we may graduate into a perfect state of mind
I've got a mind to wonder which tragedy is following me
I've got a mind to wonder which tragedy is following me
I've got a mind that wonders off in search of something
And I'm gonna get there
Sometimes we might fall
Stand up taller
Someday we may fall away
Sometime we might crawl
Stand up taller
Someday we may graduate into a perfect state of mind
~~~~~~~~~
oh what a long day...so much going on...chicken still not thawed for dinner... just rained giant rain drops (just started tinking of 'Forrest Gump' *fat rain, sideways rain, stinging rain*.... ) bla bla bla...
Thank you for your views and comments; they are very much appreciated.
[This is one of a set of 9 photos] This home was built probably in early 2011 in the Willow Springs area of Wake County, North Carolina, but I don’t know exactly where—on the map I’ve placed the photos on Willow Springs but I’m sure the house is to the east a few miles and possibly a little south. When I photographed it in April of that year, it was for sale as a new home. There were some other new “old-style” homes in the development. It’s a Queen Anne with many of the embellishments of the original style—tower, second floor balustrade, porch with a gazebo-like extension (complete with finial), bay, shingling on the side, millwork and spindlework on porch, ornamental brackets, small panes on door glass, etc. I like the utilization of the earlier architectural style with two exceptions: 1) the tower is too close to the chimney [image 8 in the set] and 2) the styling of the garage, complete with bargeboard in the gable, produces a jarring effect [image 9 in the set]—even though this is the 21st century and a garage for many is a necessity.

A cropped version of this photo once featured in the Guess Where UK Group. Hence the comments. The original posting is here.
This landmark Grade I listed building on the South Circular Road was designed by James Wild and Owen Jones. Its modern appearance belies its age – it was completed in 1841! The building's style stands in sharp contrast to the classical style of the early 19th century and the English Gothic revival popular later in that century. In fact it's thought that, after architects had exhausted those two styles, they turned for inspiration to a simpler style most notably exemplified by Christ Church, Streatham.
There are (at least) two other unusual things about the church. The first is the prominent Star of David above the entrance. Nobody knows why it's there but, apparently, the symbol was not so strongly associated with the Jewish faith at the time the church was built. The second novel aspect is the incorporation of bricks of contrasting colours. This feature was down to Owen and was widely used later in the 19th century in more ornate buildings by architects such as Alfred Waterhouse and George Gilbert Scott.
It was Wild who was was chiefly responsible for the structure of the church. He had travelled widely in Europe during his formative period and had seen many examples of Romanesque, Byzantine and Islamic architecture, including the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. He must surely also have visited the Basilica of St Zeno in Verona – see the first comment below.
For more about the church, visit its website at www.christchurchstreatham.org.uk and the Southwark Diocese website at www.southwark.anglican.org/thebridge/0009/page02.htm. Note the rounded apse – more associated in my mind with Roman Catholic churches. Father Steven Tricklebank replaced Father Chris Ivory as parish priest about ten years ago and (as at August 2012) is still in post.
