We had it confirmed yesterday that our dear Flickr friend, Gérard had left us. I say confirmed because I had noticed he had not reappeared as he always did and the days of his absence were increasingly disturbing. I thought about him often of late...his loyalty, consistent presence and most of all his humor. He is the only one I've ever known who I could really hear laugh when he wrote "LOL."
It's funny how this medium can actually develop what can only be defined as real friendships when one anticipates and looks forward to daily interactions and comments. I recall the shock I felt when he informed us of his condition...and clearly recall also the shock he himself felt in just those few dramatic words. I eagerly awaited his return to Flickr from his treatments and, when he did, marveled at his spirit during this impossibly difficult time.
Gérard and I shared musical tastes and frequently exchanged YouTube links we thought appropriate to an image or an expressed thought. In many ways, we were on the same "wave length" and we discussed and mourned the losses in the musical arena this year. And now he has joined them. It has indeed been a year of loss.
So adieu, mon ami. You will be missed deeply by many, as myself, who have never met or even spoken to you...a tribute indeed. Oh, and I can tell that's you captured in this image by the white head...;-)
And one more link to carry you onward...
Elvaston Castle is a stately home in Elvaston, Derbyshire, England. The Gothic Revival castle and surrounding parkland is run and owned by Derbyshire County Council as a country park known as Elvaston Castle Country Park. The country park has 200 acres (0.81 km2) of woodlands, parkland and formal gardens.
The centrepiece of the estate is the Grade II* Listed Elvaston Castle. The castle has been neglected and is in need of restoration. Due to its condition, the building is not open to the public, and since 2008 has been listed on the Buildings at Risk Register.

From those mountains far away,
He calls the tune,
And I must go,
No longer, can I stay "

Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
1959 Chevy Impala....
A beautiful red 1958 chevy impala. this one restored to original condition was on display at the 2019 Drive For the Cure Car Show.
The 2019 Annual Drive for the cure Canada (to raise Prostate Cancer awareness) held its annual car show at the Brampton Powerade Centre. there was a bevy of beautiful classic cars; so many wonderful automotive designs from years gone by and all in one place. there were well over four hundred cars on display. .
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

DESCRIPTION:
When we take a picture during a sunset , usually we are attracted by the bright colors we see in the west and rarely point the camera in the opposite direction, towards the east. Yet, if the condition are favorable (clear and transparent sky ) the show we would see would be just as beautiful. This photo, taken by Acireale, a city of Sicily located on a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea , wants to be a testimony. The color element that dominates and characterizes it is the pink band extended for about 20 degrees above the horizon, known as “ the belt of Venus”.
The belt of Venus is an atmospheric phenomenon due to backscattering of the red sunlight at sunset by the particles of the atmosphere that are on the opposite side of the sun.
Near the horizon, due to the shadow projected by the Earth, the belt progressively decreases in brightness and color until it disappears completely.
The phenomenon lasts a few minutes and is visible even at down, just before sunrise.
I have not been to a Zoo for over 50 years and if totally honest not a great fan. On this occasion I was in the area and I had read a lot about Marwell Zoo and the work they have done with endangered species and so we had a day to have a look. I have to say we were both totally surprised and impressed. The animals were in excellent condition and the enclosures were clean and big. The bird avery was great along with the reptile area. I would go again and support them.

Another restored slide. I think this was taken in the late 1960s; the mount was in very poor condition and I think it may well say 'Bilby'.
With so much time having passed, I have no idea if the shop still exists, has been converted to housing or redeveloped.
☛ An Oldsmobile 1958 and a Chevrolet 1948 facing Parque John Lennon in the Vedado neighborhood. Vedado is bordered to the east by Central Havana district and west by the Miramar district, just north of Plaza de la Revolución, the central administrative division of the Cuban government. In early colonial times, it was forbidden to build on these lands to be able to see at far the enemy fleets coming. Hence the name of Vedado, which means forbidden in Spanish.
☛ Une Oldsmobile 1958 et une Chevrolet 1948 face au Parque John Lennon dans le quartier Vedado. Vedado est bordé à l'est par le celui de La Havane Centrale et à l'ouest par le Miramar, juste au nord de la Plaza de la Revolución, chef-lieu du gouvernement cubain. Au début de la période coloniale, il était interdit de construire sur ces terrains afin de voir venir de loin toute flotte ennemie. D’où le nom de Vedado, qui signifie interdit en espagnol.

Vedado limita al este con el distrito de Centro Habana y al oeste con el distrito de Miramar, justo al norte de la Plaza de la Revolución, la división administrativa central del gobierno cubano. En los primeros tiempos de la colonia, que estaba prohibido construir en estas tierras para ser capaz de ver en el momento las flotas enemigas que viene. De ahí el nombre del Vedado, lo que significa prohibido en español.
The world quietly teaches us that significance belongs to the center of attention.
But life disagrees.
It happens in unnoticed afternoons, in shoes left beside a seat, in rippling water, in creatures following instincts older than memory. It happens while someone checks a message, while another life glides silently past, and while neither realizes they have become part of the same story.
Perhaps this is why ordinary moments linger with us.
They remind us that existence is not measured only by what we accomplish, but by what we are willing to notice.
Most of life unfolds without applause.
It is no less beautiful because of it.
Bella has decided to borrow my bag for a little while... I told her I better get it back in the same condition she borrowed it in LOL...

The Lucky Duck’s exterior mural adds a playful touch to this corner brick building. I didn’t notice the air conditioning units in the second floor units until later. I’m sure they are running nonstop in this heat.

Maria Zambrano, take advantage of the graffiti of this writer lady, and since it was in bad condition from being exposed to the street, take the opportunity to restore it a little and put a small roof with flowers on top to cover the bad condition it was in, I hope you like it.
This is the only 2007 156 Jtd on the roads! The front door and rear sill is in very bad condition sadly, alot worse looking in person.
Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

Sheer steps- my cruel, eternal enemy. Wandering around a fairly standard residential part of the city, we came across a man-made hill with a staircase on it that just seemed to 'be'. I haven't the foggiest idea where It would have lead- I definitely didn't have the stamina for it.
You can just barely see it, but there is a van at the bottom of the stairs with the brand name, "Mr. Juicy". I'm infantile enough to have chuckled.
This kind of scene is what gets my heart pumping. It's probably not very exciting to most, but the towers, the lights, the 'atmosphere' of the place was pretty magical to me.

Hong Kong! Again! After the first time not working out so well (mostly due to my condition) me and my best friend Michael returned to do the bits we missed out on and generally have a few different experiences than before.
