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

8th July 2013 - A tribute shot of Hawker Hunter T7 WV372 (G-BXFI) taken at the departure day of the RAF Waddington airshow.
On 22 August 2015, this aircraft crashed into vehicles on the A27 main road during a display at the Shoreham Airshow in Shoreham-by-Sea, England, killing at least 11 people and injuring 16 others. Four people were hospitalised, with one, the pilot, in a critical condition.
It is the deadliest air show accident in the United Kingdom since the 1952 Farnborough air show crash, which killed 31 people. On 24 August, all Hawker Hunter aircraft in the United Kingdom were grounded in response to the accident.
My thoughts and condolences go out to all the families involved and hoping that Andy Hill (the pilot) pulls through and makes a speedy recovery.
The cause of the accident is not yet known although it looked like a power issue was to blame rather than pilot error from the video footage I have seen.
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.

Azaleas (/əˈzeɪliə/ ə-ZAY-lee-ə) are flowering shrubs in the genus Rhododendron, particularly the former sections Tsutsusi (evergreen) and Pentanthera (deciduous). Azaleas bloom in the spring (April and May in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, and October and November in the Southern Hemisphere), their flowers often lasting several weeks. Shade tolerant, they prefer living near or under trees. They are part of the family Ericaceae.
Cultivation
Plant enthusiasts have selectively bred azaleas for hundreds of years. This human selection has produced thousands of different cultivars which are propagated by cuttings. Azalea seeds can also be collected and germinated.
Azaleas are generally slow-growing and do best in well-drained acidic soil (4.5–6.0 pH). Fertilizer needs are low. Some species need regular pruning.
Azaleas are native to several continents including Asia, Europe and North America. They are planted abundantly as ornamentals in the southeastern US, southern Asia, and parts of southwest Europe.[citation needed]
According to azalea historian Fred Galle, in the United States, Azalea indica (in this case, the group of plants called Southern indicas) was first introduced to the outdoor landscape in the 1830s at the rice plantation Magnolia-on-the-Ashley in Charleston, South Carolina. From Philadelphia, where they were grown only in greenhouses, John Grimke Drayton (Magnolia's owner) imported the plants for use in his estate garden. With encouragement from Charles Sprague Sargent from Harvard's Arnold Arboretum, Magnolia Gardens was opened to the public in 1871, following the American Civil War. Magnolia is one of the oldest public gardens in America. Since the late 19th century, in late March and early April, thousands visit to see the azaleas bloom in their full glory.[citation needed]

Did not have the opportunity to capture Mr Rainbow this season. Managed to improve the PPing of these shots to get decent IQ. The shooting condition was very dim and shaded. Shot handheld with 1/8 sec. That's why I am hanging on to my Oly system for dear life - the great image stabilisation and Pro Capture feature.
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a Beautiful Day
Take care and stay safe everyone
Thank you

Positioned around a mile and a half from where we were staying, Tarn Hows is a picturesque Tarn which is visited by over half a million visitors who walk around it.
Our visit this time was an eye opener. As we approached, Marc became terrified. Only a couple of years ago, I pushed Marc around this tarn in his wheelchair and we enjoyed the nature of the landscape. It was quite a push in his manual wheelchair - though it is advertised as accessible, in truth, motorised scooters or wheelchair are needed.
As we approached and reached this point, there is a sharp downhill stretch of road bending around a hidden curve. Marc's grip on the seat at the side of me tightened and his knuckles turned white. "stop, stop, stop" he screamed!
I pulled over, but he did not relax. I managed a quick photo out of the car window, but headed back the way we came, with the terror left behind.
What triggered this reaction to somewhere we had been previously remains unknown. I know his condition is worsening and maybe it was the journey making him travel sick, maybe his poor eyesight is affecting him in a greater way, maybe he was having a seizure, and absence, right at that moment which sent him into a panic, maybe ...
sometimes we never find out the cause of a reaction like this, but we have a photograph, and as we look back at it now, he can laugh at his memory of my stopping the car and turning around.
From here, we went back to the village, and had some Grasmere Gingerbread. After a calmer wheel-walk around the village. Calm returned.
Have a lovely day everyone :-))
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.
☛ 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.

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.

Surrounded by myths and tales, the Solse Gat is a pit in the middle of the forests of Sprielderbos. Because of it's unusual shape, soil condition and location, it is rich of rare plants and species. As such, it is protected by Staatsbosbeheer.

This is one of the most unique AND creepy windows I have ever seen. It is in the Capela dos Ossos, in Evora, Portugal. The Chapel was built as an extension to the Convent of Sao Francisco in the first half of the 17th Century. The Chapel is an invitation to reflect on the transitory nature of the human condition. An inscription over the entrance to the Chapel translated to English reads, "We bones here, for yours await."
Happy(?) Window Wednesday!
I ran across this photo I took of a vacant house on Maine Street here in Brunswick, Maine. It was February and the dirt that gets mixed with the snow and the condition of the structure are very grungy and I added a slight amount of grunge texture to the sky. A year or so later several male students from Bowdoin College just up the road spent time making it livable and it was occupied until last year when because of the pandemic most students returned to their homes. It has since been declared unfit for habitation by the town.

Pyramidal Orchid / anacamptis pyramidal. Barnack Hills and Hollows, Cambridgeshire. 04/07/21.
'TRI-COLOURED BEAUTY.'
This tri-coloured Pyramidal Orchid caught my eye by standing out among the profusion of other orchids/wildflowers on site. Only 12cm tall and in near pristine condition, an absolute beauty!

In its splendid workaday condition harking back to a non-heritage era, Prussian 'G12' Class 2-10-0 No.58 1111-2 makes a sure-footed text book departure from Straußfurt, working diagram DGN88721 08.10 Sondershausen to Ringleben-Gebesse demonstration freight, creating an almost timeless GDR-era scene on Friday 6th March 2026. This is the only locomotive of its class that has been preserved in operational condition and is still largely in its original Reichsbahn condition as when first built in 1921 by the Maschinenbaugesellschaft Karlsruhe.

Canadian National train 419 was rolling along at Ingersoll, Ontario with SD40-2Ws 5347 and 5309 on a hot August afternoon in 1994.
While I was quite pissed to have traveled close to 500 miles from home to have this shot "ruined" by the nose door wide open, I understand that the crew's comfort is much more important than my mediocre choo-choo picture.
A wide-open nose door on a CN SD40-2W in 1994 is a thousand times better than a CN GEVO anytime with the door closed.
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.
