Positioned deep within the frame, perfectly splitting the mid-ground and background, the frog is draped in tiny patches of duckweed, camouflaging him into the swampy carpet. In the distance, the scene is framed by weathered, moss-covered logs, adding a rustic texture to the soft, aquatic environment.

Continuing the shiny floor series, here is a shot of Nick Whale about to get on track at Silverstone in his Amspeed prepared 1990 BMW M3, sporting the same Auto Trader livery that it had during the 1991 BTCC season.
The BMW M3 was one of the most successful touring cars of the period, winning both the European Touring Car Championship and German Touring Car Championship twice, and having international success as well by winning the first World Touring Car Championship in 1987. In 1988, the BMW M3 took a 1-2 finish at the 24 hours of Nurburgring with drivers Pirro, Ravaglia and Giroix in car 1, and Heger, Grohs and Manthey in car 2.
In 1990, the M3's engine capacity was raised to 2.5ltrs in line with that years rules, and output increased to 340bhp.

After a brief stop for lunch, we meet up with the SB CWR again at Spence where they duck under a wooden bridge. This is one of the last wooden bridges within a couple hundred kilometers of Toronto. CP 6080 & 6045 continue their trek down the Mactier sub.
I know that you too have not had an easy life, you have a chance to return to a normal life, so seize this chance and continue without thinking of those who hurt you ...
So I hope with all my heart you will take the right path 😢

flat work ...
eine Arbeit von Adrian Schiess aus den 90gern...
der spiegelnde, refelktierende fast weiße Boden des Museums hilft hier einen fast nahtlosen Übergang zwischen der schimmernden Kunst und dem Raum zu erreichen, das Spiel der Deckenleuchten faszinierte mich ...
es scheinen große lackierte, rechteckige Holzplatten oder Aludibond) zu sein, die einfach in T-Form in den Pastellfarbtönen von Orange zu Rosa, Blau- Grau- und Schwarztönen gehen, die Gruppe nennt sich Winter und lässt im Raum auf der rechten Seite kaum Platz das Kunstwerk zu umkreisen, da es direkt ans Fenster stößt und der T-Arm in der Mitte des Raum bis zur Wand geht ...
ich bekam direkt Schwierigkeiten mit der Aufsichtsperson, die mich den schmalen Restraum an der wand entlang bist zur Mitte nicht gehen lassen wollte und nur nach meinem Einwand, das ich es gewohnt bin vorsicht eng an millionenschwerer Kundt vorbei zu gehen ohne sie zu beschädigen, ließ er mich widerwillig gewähren ...
was dazu führte, dass ich mich zunächst nicht traute mich und die Kamera richtig auszurichten, zumal er fortfuhr zu remonstrieren, dass ich doch bei Gegenlicht keine Chance hätte ...
aber gerade die Überstrahlung war mein Ziel und die späteren ausgerichteten Bilder gefielen mir nicht so gut, wie dieses erkämpfte erste "provisorische" Foto mit Geschichte ... zumal ich schauen musste, dass die Aufsichtsperson nicht in meinen Kompostionsraum lief ... :-) ...
a work by Adrian Schiess from the 90s...
the mirrored, reflective almost white floor of the museum here helps to achieve an almost seamless transition between the shimmering art and the space, the play of the ceiling lights fascinated me ...
it seems to be large painted rectangular wooden panels (or Aludibond) that simply go in T-shape in the pastel shades of orange to pink, blue gray and black tones, the group is called Winter and leaves in the room on the right side hardly any space to circle the work of art, because it directly abuts the window and the T-arm in the middle of the room goes to the wall ...
I got directly into trouble with the supervisor, who would not let me walk the narrow rest of the room along the wall to the center, and only after my objection that I am accustomed to walking carefully close to millions of dollars worth of art without damaging it, he reluctantly let me ...
which led to the fact that I did not dare to align myself and the camera correctly, especially since he continued to remonstrate that I would have no chance with backlight ...
but just the overexposure was my goal and the later aligned pictures did not please me as well as this fought for first "provisional" photo with history (with a story) ... especially since I had to look that the supervisor just did not go into my composing space ...
;-) ...

Continuing with the theme of the photogenic Tufted Titmouse, here it is coming in for a soft landing. It is so quick that I see I'm going to have to up my SS a bit more if I want to completely stop action.
It continues this year, I hope you all had relaxing and peaceful days.
I would like to thank you all again very politely for your Visit Views Faves and Comments
Stay healthy everyone. ✌

St Michael's is the Church of England parish church in the market town of Melksham in Wiltshire. The church stands some 200 metres northwest of the town's marketplace. With 12th-Century origins, the building was altered and enlarged in the 14th and 15th Centuries, and restored in the 19th. It is a Grade II* listed building.
The church has a chancel and five-bay nave, with north and south aisles and north and south chapels, and a west tower. Originally dating to the 16th Century, the tower was moved from the crossing to the west end during TH Wyatt’s extensive remodelling in 1845. The chancel dates from the 12th century, while the church was enlarged in the 14th century, and in the mid-15th a clerestory was inserted and a chapel was added on the south side of the chancel.
Pevsner wrote: "... it is a big church, and so it is all the more remarkable that its Norman predecessor was just as big."
Domesday Book in 1086 recorded a church at Melchesha. In 1220 the living became a possession of the canonry of Salisbury Cathedral, continuing to the present day.

We continue to pray for those who are in Florida as this very dangerous storm moves across the state. My SL wife, Suzzie and one of our dear friends, MIssy, live along the east coast of Florida and are still in the path of this storm!
The Minster was undergoing significant works during our visit. Thankfully, this side entrance which protrudes out from the main building was not only pristine but also strongly lit. Very thoughtful of them.
On February 5, 2021we had another soft snowfall that came down as a beautiful, white, fluffy snow. Since I had my Canon at home I felt fortunate to be able to photograph nature at its finest, up close and personal in the woods and hillside behind my home.

Gardens of Great Britain
This is a series of photographs taken in the many gardens we have visited over a long period time. It never ceases to amaze how many gardens there are and the variety of planting they show, long may it continue.
Today’s contribution comes from RHS Rosemoor, Torrington, EX38 8PH, North Devon. Truly a terrific garden to visit.
Built in 1931, the lighthouse continues the use of a fifth order Fresnel lens that was first used in 1891, in the original lighthouse. The foreground pale brown is due to the shallow but rough water, kicking up sand, while the deep blue is deeper water.
Padley Gorge is a deep but narrow valley in the Peak District, Derbyshire Nr the village of Grindleford.
The gorge is wooded with a stream, the Burbage Brook. This stream used to form the boundary between Derbyshire and Yorkshire.
Padley Gorge begins near Grindleford Station at a stile where a post has been installed. Although the valley continues up towards Hathersage Road and Burbage, the gorge finishes at the edge of the woodland.
Due to the wet weather capturing this image was risky to say the least, the ground muddy, rocks slimy and the bank very steep in places, adding to all of this was the fast flowing and in places deep water!
Continuing this short series (of birds I hope to see soon) with a male Yellow Warbler from two years ago. The vast majority of my photo ops with warblers are brief, but this little beauty gave me an extended session as it hunted for ants among the leafing-out caragana. The light was perfect. I was on foot, wandering about, saying "ssst-ssst" and "wsht-wsht", the common language of little birds everywhere.

Let's continue our "journey through time."
We are still on the Dramont Peninsula on the Côte d'Azur in the south of France.
And finally, we turn our gaze toward the sea. Here, next to the typical red cliffs of the Esterel Mountains, whose foothills plunge into the Mediterranean here, we see a small rocky island with a striking tower.
This is the Île d'Or, which is privately owned and therefore unfortunately not open to visitors.
But even from the shore, it makes a great photo opportunity, especially at sunset.
Setzen wir unsere "Zeitreise" nun fort.
Wie befinden uns noch immer auf der Halbinsel Dramont an der Cote d'Azur im Süden Frankreichs.
Und endlich richten wir unseren Blick auch einmal in Richtung Meer. Hier sehen wir neben den typischen roten Felsen vom Esterel Gebirge, dessen Ausläufer hier ins Mittelmeer eintauchen, eine kleine Felseninsel mit einem markanten Turm.
Dies ist die Île d'Or, welche sich in Privatbesitz befindet und somit leider nicht besichtigt werden kann.
Doch auch vom Ufer aus macht sie als Fotomotiv eine Gute figur. Vor allem bei Sonnenuntergang.
Continuing with another image from my Colorado trip... This particular time, up Country Road 5 and hiking up to an Aspen grove. I knew I had to shoot this road scene as soon as I saw it. I tried with a 70-200...but it just didn't have the look I wanted, so...a first for me, I pulled out my Bower (Rokinon) 14mm to try a WIDE shot. I can't recall what f-stop I shot it at, but I took 6 shots at different focusing spots to focus stack them in PS. Since I haven't really been able to get out locally for Fall, I'm heading up to the Boone/Blowing Rock area tomorrow evening after work for a couple days. The weather looks to be turning a bit nasty up there tomorrow, but I'm hoping the leaves hang on. Hope everyone's having a great week!

my very first step with a creative intelligence + is it art? + i dont know + but it is fascinating + maybe i continued
If it weren't for 12-spotted's! Gee, there just aren't any odes flying. It's hot & dry right now - but too late to save most summer dragons and too hot for Fall species to come out of the shade. This guy is actually by himself ... leaves one of our sticks to chase an occasional whitetail or green darner. A stunning Comet darner flew by the other day - haven't seen him since. And we've seen the first Shadow darner but he wouldn't perch.
Sorry it's been so hectic here - I was at a derm. surgeon yesterday having a skin cancer removed - they told us to plan on being there a good 4 (!) hours. Fortunately it didn't take that long - thanks once again for several good friends that prayed & sent me notes - so appreciated.

Yes indeed just after the shutter click those clouds opened up good and proper, and continued to do so for almost the whole way back home - a very wet 10k on foot. Yes - yes I know Mr Magoo drives a car in the cartoons but I’m not a cartoon and haven’t driven for 30 years, and how the heck does he find his car is what I want to know??? Some sort of metal detector might do it I suppose but a lot can go wrong with that scenario, and how does he know it is his car and not one belonging to some axe wielding whacko whose cheese has slid totally off his cracker? Mind you, I might not be a cartoon but life can be cartoon like at times…..my wife and I were dining out once when some outraged stranger accused me of trying to steal his pudding, kid you not, I accidentally put my hand in his pudding, right in there, up to the wrist almost and somehow I am stealing it - seriously!?! It wasn’t my fault, I had no idea it was there, it shouldn’t have been where it was it really shouldn’t, but stealing it - honestly, can you imagine?? Ooh ooh look, that gooey thing all covered in custard looks delicious, I think I’ll just grab me a handful and hope he doesn’t notice!! An accident and accused of thievery. What could I do - I lamely held up my white stick and pointed at it with a custard covered finger. The cheek of the fellow - I should have sued him for burns!So there you have it, there’s a reason why I don’t drive and have to get wet - and if I want a pudding I’ll buy my own……..
…..probably.
ant Pau del Camp és un antic monestir benedictí que es troba en ple barri del Raval. Fundat amb tota probabilitat al segle x, la seva església romànica és la més antiga que es conserva a la ciutat de Barcelona,[1] i és l'únic d'aquest estil a la ciutat.[2] El seu petit claustre, amb arcs polilobulats, és únic dins l'arquitectura del romànic europeu.Història
No hi ha dades exactes sobre la data de construcció. Hom creu que va ser abans de l'any 911, que és la data que figura a la làpida trobada al monestir i corresponent a la tomba de Guifré II, a qui s’atribueix la fundació del monestir. Es creu, també, que el comte va iniciar la construcció d'una església sobre les restes d'un antic edifici religiós i que s’hi va establir una comunitat de monjos benedictins. El monestir era fora de la protecció de les muralles de la ciutat; d'aquí el seu nom, ja que es trobava al mig del camp.
Com que era fora del recinte emmurallat, el monestir va esdevenir un blanc fàcil per als atacants. Així, el 985, les tropes d'Almansor el van atacar;[3] va quedar destruït gairebé completament i fou abandonat per la comunitat. A partir d'aquella data va passar a ser una simple església dedicada a sant Pau.
El 1096 va començar la restauració de l'edifici i s'hi va instaurar una nova comunitat. Malgrat tot, el monestir fou novament atacat el 1114. Tres anys després, el matrimoni format per Geribert Guitard i Rotlendis en van fer una nova restauració i van unir el monestir, en qualitat de priorat, al de Sant Cugat del Vallès.Al segle xiv es va construir una nova muralla de la ciutat i Sant Pau del Camp va quedar finalment englobada dintre del nou recinte emmurallat. El 1508, el monestir es va unir al de Montserrat fins que el 1593 es va tornar a unir, també en forma de priorat, al de Sant Cugat.
El 1617 es va unir definitivament a un altre monestir, el de Sant Pere de la Portella, situat al Berguedà. El 1672 s'hi va instal·lar el noviciat de la Congregació Claustral Tarraconense, que abans era a Lleida, i es va iniciar l'època de major esplendor del cenobi. La comunitat va abandonar definitivament Sant Pau del Camp el 1835, amb la llei de desamortització de Mendizábal, que va comportar l'exclaustració. El darrer abat va ser Joan de Safont i de Ferrer, home certament polifacètic: teòleg, matemàtic, astrònom, filòsof, catedràtic de la Universitat de Barcelona i membre de l'Acadèmia de Bones Lletres.
A partir d'aleshores, el monestir va passar per diversos usos. El 1842 va esdevenir una escola, mentre que entre el 1855 i el 1890 es convertia en caserna militar. El 1879 fou declarat Monument Nacional, gràcies a la intervenció de diversos ciutadans, entre els quals Víctor Balaguer. El recinte fou novament devastat el 1936. Des d'aleshores s'hi han fet diverses restauracions.
El CRAI Biblioteca de Reserva de la Universitat de Barcelona conserva, arran de la desamortització dels convents del 1835, els fons provinents del Monestir de Sant Pau del Camp, que actualment sumen més de vint edicions.[4] Així mateix, ha registrat i descrit diversos exemples de les marques de propietat que van identificar el convent durant la seva existència.[5]
Sant Pau del Camp (Catalan for 'Saint Paul of the countryside' / 'in the fields'; IPA: [ˈsam ˈpaw ðəl ˈkam]) is a church and former monastery in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. While the monastery now stands within the El Raval district in central Barcelona, it once stood outside the city (before 14th century); its rural location gave the church its name.
History
There are no sources about the monastery's origins, it is generally thought that it was founded by count Wilfred II of Barcelona, whose funerary inscription was found within the monastery in 1596.[1] The monastery is documented from 977; in 985 it was sacked and destroyed by the Muslim troops of al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir.[2]
Restorations were begun in 1096, through donations from Geribert Guitard and Rotlendis,[2] and a new monastic community arrived. In 1117, Sant Pau became a priory of the monastery of Sant Cugat.[3] By the 13th, a new cloister, church and monastic quarters were built.[2] In 1377, the monastery consisted of a prior and eight monks, which declined in the 15th century to consist of three monks.[2] An initial monastic meeting for the Terragona province occurred in 1577 and such meetings would continue from 1594 to 1835.[2]
The monks were removed upon the secularization of monasteries by the Spanish government in 1835.[2]
It was declared a National Monument in 1879.
Ten minutes later yielded the arrival of NS 34J with a Conrail SD40-2 leading.
Yep, it happend in 2010! Conrail has been gone for over ten years, and shooting a Conrail SD40-2 on the point is still possible in Chicago.

As a kid, I was fascinated by movies such as The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973/4) and the brilliant special effects work of Ray Harryhausen. I looked up at the sky and remembered this scene.
The 1958 Scarab Mk II, one of 3 legendary vehicles built by Lance Reventlow, who at age 21, and also the heir to the Woolworth fortune, sought to challenge European dominance with American innovation and Chevrolet V8 power
This Mk II Scarab, is the second of 3 Chevy small block front engined racers, and the one that actually won the US Grand Prix in Riverside, California, against a gaggle of the biggest and best from Europe, including Phill Hill in his monster Ferrari 412S.
The Scarabs absolutely dominated American Racing through 1962, and continued to be successfully raced for several more years. But for the late 50s rule change in European Formula 1 racing limiting the engine size to 3 liters, Lance could never fulfill his dream (shared with Briggs Cunningham) of conquering European road racing with Yankee ingenuity.
For a vivid description of the great race win in 1958, read this.... www.classicandsportscar.com/features/all-american-hero-dr...
And still considered by many to be the most beautiful sports car racer of it's era. And I am with them.

Wishing all my friends a very Happy New Year! May 2026 be the year when peace is finally reachable, and love, friendship, diversity, understanding, tolerance, kindness, support, and harmony come to the fore!
Thank you all for your continued friendship and support, which is so appreciated. I look forward to enjoying your works again next year and perhaps sharing a collaboration or 2.
With heartfelt thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty around you, enjoy creating, and stay safe! ❤️❤️
The Aberglaslyn Pass is a narrow gorge of considerable beauty in Snowdonia, Gwynedd, north Wales. The A498 road/A4085 road follows a relatively level route along the Afon Glaslyn through the pass from Beddgelert to Prenteg and then continues at the edge of the Traeth Mawr via Tremadog to Porthmadog.
Continuing a long tradition of Lehigh Valley painted units on trains over the Delaware & Hudson, the 8104 leads 11R as they charge up Richmondville Hill. Fortunately for myself and Brian Plant, NS provided a recrew for this train at Mohawk Yard in time to get a bit of a chase south on the D&H, something I hadn't done in about fifteen years, so thanks again to Brian for being a tour guide out here.

Continuing my coastal ecosystem series with this preening Brown Pelican.
Brown Pelicans live in estuaries and coastal marine habitats along both the east and west coasts. This one was found perched and preening atop a weathered wharf pole near a fish cleaning station in Lamar, Texas.
Continuing with the Flower theme…
This image features a blossom that is synonymous with springtime, the Daffodil. Maybe Tulips would win the competition for the most recognized spring flower, but surely Daffodils would be a close second and, depending on who you ask, maybe actually win out :)
Either way, their cheery yellow color, along with their six-petals and trumpet center shape, make them a favorite for gardens and bouquets.
I captured these beauties last year as I lay on my belly for this low perspective. And yes, I was able to get up successfully :) This 67 year old body is still running on all of its cylinders, though its rpm's are definitely getting slower!
