We'll all dance along to the tune of your death.
If you'd like to go live all the years you had in high school or something that you'd much rather forget, go head to Rewind and have selective nostalgia!
You can grab this sweet outfit in 8 different colours from Curemore, or get the fat pack to have a hud to customize it all! There's also a fantastic propset from Anxiety, Parade! You can get the pieces, or get the full set, which comes with five different sets of debris and a stage. Go geeet them.
Pocketgacha is open now, too, so you can actually grab the make up I'm wearing! Part of the set available from Zibska! Try your luck, or just be like me and give up and buy the fullset! It costs less tears.

Scotland 2022
We have travelled to Scotland for a few days and a fine time. Good company, good weather (in the main), good food and lastly great opportunities to bring out the camera.
1st Day
Culzean Castle – The home of Robert Burns
Trip along the coastline to Maidens, a seaside town
Finally on to Turnberry (Trump Turnberry)
2nd Day
Off to Ardrossan to catch the ferry to Arran
Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the island that well as the weather came in on us until mid-afternoon but we did get to see the island from top to bottom by coach.
3rd Day
Departing Ayrshire, we travel through the picturesque Trossachs. We had time to visit Callander, then run alongside Loch Earn to visit the Glenturret distillery, (Famous Grouse Whiskey) for a tour and tasting exercise. They have some special single malt that sells for £5,000. Well someone had to take up the slack. They have a Lalique restaurant and shop. My favourite part, the glass was just stunning.
Finally we had free time in the village of Crieff.
4th Day
On to Dundee, to visit the City’s rejuvenated waterfront. We boarded RRS Discovery, the ship of both Shackleton and Scott. Had an interesting tour and then another tour to the new Victoria and Albert museum, which was for me the highlight of the day.
We finished the day with a visit to Arbroath and finally on to Carnoustie. The end and home next day.
A great time was had by all and as usual I took too many photographs, not a surprise and this is the first batch of six
"It costs less at Sterchi's"
STERCHI BROS. STORES
to furnish your home.
From VanishingGeorgia.com.
This landmark, visible on Georgia Highway 22 between Gray and Haddock, is an amazing survivor from a time when the roofs of rural barns were used to advertise myriad businesses and attractions. The “See Rock City” barns have become icons, but many other businesses were promoted in this way. This example advertises Knoxville-based Sterchi* Brothers Furniture Company [It Costs Less at Sterchi’s], which was the largest furniture store chain in the nation in the early 20th century, with over 650 stores in the Southeast. There are only a few of these Sterchi barns documented, to my knowledge, and most are in Tennessee. It is believed that most are at least 80 years old.

Taking a good sunrise photo without filter is a big challenge. This image costs me about one hour processing to what it is now. Removing flare (most on the fench) was the hardest part.
I love those moments, been there, a fresh nose and silence.
Farming costs a lot of effort, but the result is worth it.
Made a little naive painting :)
Thank you to my dear friend Doddy for the time and pleasant moments in taking pictures of our farming activities :)

There was a competition. Red Roofs of Scotland. It was the first competiton I ever entered. I won Third Prize £200 which certainly covered the petrol costs of a long drive up to Shieldaig purely to grab this picture. Standing in front of the building I used the process of taking a panoramic shot to show the front of the house whilst showing the view to the front at the same time. I really liked the winning shot, and you can see the other finalists and runners-up here
Despite the summer heat, the excitement of exploring local markets never fades. Renting an apartment means keeping the fridge full and enjoying fresh, cooking meals that save on restaurant costs. There's something truly special about shopping, tasting, and creating at home, even while on vacation. But when the supermarket doesn’t inspire, it becomes the perfect excuse to head to a restaurant and savor the moment instead.
Thanks for all the love and comments! Cooking up memories, one market trip at a time, because who says saving money can’t be deliciously fun.
Ever wondered how much it costs to advertise on one of those flashy, electronic neon billboards at Times Square.Anywhere between $1.1 million and $4 million dollars a year!
Nebengebäude
Das Thyssenkrupp-Hauptquartier, offiziell auch als „thyssenkrupp Quartier“ bezeichnet, ist die Konzernzentrale der Thyssenkrupp AG im Westviertel der Stadt Essen. Das Quartier ist Kern des städtebaulichen Projektes Krupp-Gürtel und steht genau auf dem Grund, auf dem Krupp mit der Gussstahlfabrik in Essen seine Wurzeln hat. Der neue Bürocampus ist ein Ensemble aus verschiedenen Einzelgebäuden, die auf einem „grünen Teppich“ mit Bäumen, verbindenden Wegen und kleinen Plätzen angeordnet sind. Dem Konzern als Auftraggeber war es dabei besonders wichtig, dass sich die Neubauten flexibel an Veränderungsprozesse innerhalb des Unternehmens anpassen lassen. Die Kosten für den ersten Bauabschnitt des Hauptquartiers werden auf über 300 Millionen Euro beziffert.
Das Gebäude Q1 als Hauptgebäude des neuen Campus ist als markanter Hochpunkt auf der zentralen Wasserachse platziert, die dem Gelände seine Struktur verleiht. Neben diesem und weiteren Bürogebäuden gehören eine öffentliche Kita, das Veranstaltungsgebäude Q2, ein Parkhaus und eine Tiefgarage zum Quartier. Der städtebauliche und architektonische Entwurf des Campus steht für Offenheit, Begegnung und Kommunikation – innerhalb des Quartiers und nach außen in die angrenzenden Stadtteile.
The Thyssenkrupp headquarters, also officially known as the “thyssenkrupp Quartier”, is the corporate headquarters of Thyssenkrupp AG in the western quarter of the city of Essen. The quarter is the core of the urban development project Krupp-Gürtel and stands exactly on the ground on which Krupp with the cast steel factory in Essen has its roots. The new office campus is an ensemble of various individual buildings arranged on a “green carpet” with trees, connecting paths and small squares. As the client, it was particularly important to the group that the new buildings could be flexibly adapted to change processes within the company. The costs for the first construction phase of the headquarters are estimated at over 300 million euros.
Building Q1 as the main building of the new campus is placed as a prominent high point on the central water axis, which gives the site its structure. In addition to this and other office buildings, a public day-care center, the Q2 event building, a multi-storey car park and an underground car park are part of the quarter. The urban and architectural design of the campus stands for openness, encounters and communication - within the quarter and to the outside in the neighboring districts.

The new Vestibule in St.Magnus Cathedral 6.4.22 Opened on Monday morning this new Vestibule replaces the turn of the 20th century Vestibule which was solid wood panels with doors which were always open - this new Vestibule features glass and wood along with automatic doors the purpose of which is reduce heating & lighting costs because with the old doors they was always one open to allow visitor access and being solid the only light entering from the front was through the open door set off to one side of the old vestibule - the difference is very obvious in this shot showing a much brighter inside of the Cathedral.
The Meyer Optik Domiron 50 mm is indeed a very special lens for me. Not only do I love its unique design, I adore its rendering and ability to isolate and highlight a subject to an incredible degree for a f/2 only lens. It's one of the best examples of how a vintage lens can stay relevant even today.
Maybe you can form your own opinion by looking at the album, even though I gladly admit that I‘m not close to being at effective at using the lenses strengths than some more experienced users…

Sembra che le nubi, gelose, ne vogliano imitare la forma.
Questa struttura, non ultimata per i costi esorbitanti e per mancanza di fondi, originariamente era stata progettata per ospitare i mondiali di nuoto del 2009.
La struttura avrebbe dovuto essere costituita da due edifici speculari; quello rimasto senza sovrastruttura, sará oggetto di interventi che ne consentano l’utilizzo per il Giubileo del 2025 o per l’Expó del 2030.
It seems that the jealous clouds want to imitate its shape.
This structure, not completed due to exorbitant costs and lack of funds, was originally designed to host the 2009 World Swimming Championships.
The structure should have been made up of two specular buildings; the one left without a superstructure will be the subject of interventions that will allow it to be used for the 2025 Jubilee or for the 2030 Expo.

And suddenly we see

Yet it is only love
which sets us free.” ― Maya Angelou

It costs nothing and brings a lot.
It enriches the recipient
without making the donor poorer.
It's as short as a flash
but the memory of it is often imperishable.
Nobody is so rich that they could do without
none so poor that he couldn't afford it.
It means relaxation for the tired,
for the despondent encouragement,
for the sad cheer
and it is the best remedy for anger.
You can't buy it
still solicit
still borrow
still steal,
because it only gets its value
when it is given away.
Because nobody needs it so bitterly
like the one who no longer likes others.

Here is a panning shot of the yellow 250 GT Boano (S/N 0541GT) at the Goodwood Revival.
This car was rebuilt in the 1990's, with costs totalling $180,000, before being sold by Talacrest in 1998 for $295,000.
Professor Philippe Gertsch has then competed with this car since 2000, mainly in the Ferrari Maserati Historic Challenge and Spa Classic.
Pinin Farina created the 250 GT Boano prototype for the 1956 Geneva Motor Show as a styling exercise that generated sufficient interest for a production run to be commissioned. However, Pinin Farina were overstretched at the time for the size of their facilities, so Mario Boano (from design house Ghia) stepped in and took over construction.
When Boano was hired by Fiat, construction of the Boano passed to Ezio Ellena, who raised the roof line and in doing so, created the model known as the 250 GT Ellena.
74 examples of the Boano were built, 1 of which was a convertible (S/N 0461GT) that was bought by Bob Lee, who bought it (for $9,500) at the New York Auto Show.

CityCenter (also known as CityCenter Las Vegas) is a 16,797,000-square-foot (1,560,500 m2) mixed-use, urban complex on 76 acres (31 ha) located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The project was started by MGM Resorts International; Dubai World became a joint partner during the project's construction phase. It is the largest privately funded construction project in the history of the United States.[3] The project is connected by a people mover system to adjacent MGM properties Monte Carlo Las Vegas and Bellagio Las Vegas.[4] As of 2015, the "CityCenter" branding has been largely retired, with the focus instead on the Aria brand of the development's centerpiece property in names such as the "Aria Express" (formerly "CityCenter Tram") and "Aria Art Collection" (formerly "CityCenter Art Collection").
The project straddles Harmon Avenue and is bordered by (listed clockwise, starting on the east side): Las Vegas Boulevard, the Park MGM, I-15, the Bellagio, and The Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino. The site was formerly occupied by the Boardwalk Hotel and Casino, the Bellagio employee parking lot, and several standalone commercial structures.
The conceptual master plan for Project City Center, announced on November 9, 2004, was designed by Ehrenkrantz, Eckstut & Kuhn Architects, laying out the project with approximately 2,400 condominium and condo-hotel units and approximately 4,800 hotel rooms, distributed within several high-rise towers around The Crystals, an ultra high-end retail mall. It is designed to have all commodities for daily life, featuring a 4,000-room hotel and casino (Aria), two 400-room boutique hotels (The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, with 227 residential condo units, and The Harmon Hotel and Spa), a purely residential offering (Veer Towers), a condo-hotel (Vdara Condo-hotel) and a 500,000 sq ft (46,000 m2) retail and entertainment district which was intended to house the first grocery store directly on the Strip (though as of July 2011, there is no grocery on the property). The multi-use project makes extensive use of green technologies, such as using reclaimed water and an on-site power plant. The Mandarin Oriental, Aria, and Vdara all received LEED certification in November 2009.
With a total cost of approximately $9.2 billion,[5] CityCenter is the largest privately financed development in the United States. The original cost estimate was $4 billion, but it was pushed up by rising construction costs and design changes. CityCenter opened with approximately 12,000 employees across the different projects. Vdara, Aria, Mandarin Oriental, and The Crystals opened in December 2009. The Veer Towers opened in July 2010.
CityCenter features five water and ice features. These were designed by WET Design, the company responsible for the Bellagio fountain and the Mirage volcano. Three of these features are located at Aria Resort & Casino, entitled Lumia (a musical fountain), Focus (a water wall on the exterior), and Latisse (a water wall inside the casino). The remaining two are located in The Crystals: Halo (freestanding columns of water vortices) and Glacia (ice pillars).
View from the 'old man of Storr' looking south. I replaced the original sky again, this one is a big improvement.
The Isle of Skye is one of my favourite places in the world but prices for accommodation there have more than doubled even for the old, shabby hotels, without any increase in quality or value, sheer profiteering.
I cant afford to go there anymore so I am dredging through all my old shots.
The chances of good weather are very slim, most of my visits had really wet and windy weather which makes the high booking costs even harder to bear. Also, when the weather is fine you will be eaten alive by midges so invest in one of those wide-brimmed hats with the protective net hanging down.
The small, picturesque, terraced houses that sit either side of a cobbled street, were originally built to house a vicar each. They were built by Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury and were occupied as early as 1348. (Some say that Vicars’ Close can lay claim to being the only completely medieval street left in England, others state it’s the oldest continually inhabited residential street in Europe.) Either way, Vicars’ Close in Wells is beautifully preserved.
Back in the 14th century there was housing for 42 Vicars – 22 sets of single chambers on the east side and 20 on the west. As you would expect, the houses were very basic and didn’t have a front garden.
Over the centuries minor concessions have been made. In the 15th century, Bishop Bubwith allowed 19 1/2 feet to be walled off in front of each house to be used as a front garden. In the 1660s some of the houses were allowed to be leased by ‘strangers’. According to ‘The Vicars’ Close’ by Hugh Parnell, 12 of the most decayed houses were allowed to be rented by “persons of good and honest reputation as will covenaunt to rebuild and repair them at their owne proper costs and charges.” ‘Strangers’ have been allowed to inhabit Vicars’ Close ever since. Today’s residents of Vicars’ Close include all 12 men of the Vicars Choral, the organists, and virgers.
Vicars’ Close is currently made up of 27 houses, a chapel, a library, treasury and muniment room (a storage room for historical documents). There is also a dining hall which is connected to the Cathedral by a walkway.

In the fall I was at the cabin building a basement for the "Big" house (you never know, might get locked up there!). Snow came and left me with a blanket on the cabin. Loved it! Yeah, it was cold.
I have parts of the railing I'm putting on the cabin porch sitting all around. Lot of work going on around here and costs going up but not for me!
As fuel costs have risen dramatically over the last year; I like many others have taken to turning the heating down or off.
Its surprising how many extra layers of clothing you need when sitting in front of the computer and not moving much.
At least here in the UK its just cold as opposed to parts of the USA and Canada that are currently in the "deep freeze".
Now, for you motorheads out there, here is the "nitty gritty" on this massive engine! Remember, the Duesenberg brothers were engine builders before they became car builders, and many of the engines they built were race motors. So, they knew what they were doing when it came to building motors! Not all motors need to be photographed, but this one screams out to be! Like the car, it is a true work of art!

The new government Executive Services building will cost the Queensland taxpayers $10.5 million dollars per year for the next 15 years to pay off, excluding maintenance costs which will be terrific in themselves.
It was started in 1063 by the architect Buscheto, and the costs were paid using the loot received fighting the Muslims in Sicily in 1063. Various stylistic elements, classical, Lombard-Emilian, Byzantine and in particular Islamic, were fused into it to prove the international presence of the Pisan merchants of those times. In the same year, the reconstruction of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice also began, so it can be deduced that there was also a certain rivalry between the two maritime republics to create the most beautiful and sumptuous place of worship.
these rays are from a plastic napkin holder that cost 25 cents. i have the best time playing with it and have used it many times, in many ways. which is why i grouse about a glass piece that costs $5. the best things in life are free or almost....

Stowe House is a Grade I listed country house in Stowe, Buckinghamshire, England. It is the home of the private Stowe School and is owned by the Stowe House Preservation Trust. Over the years, it has been restored and maintained as one of the finest country houses in the UK. Stowe House is regularly open to the public.
The gardens (known as Stowe Gardens, formerly Stowe Landscape Gardens) are a significant example of the English landscape garden and, along with the parkland, passed into the ownership of the National Trust in 1989. Members of the National Trust have free access to the gardens, but there is a charge for all visitors to the house, which goes toward the costs of restoration. The gardens and most of the parkland are listed Grade I separately from the house.
a different photo for me.
after some years of very good service i changed my smartphone with a new one.
samsung note8 has been a great phone and a good camera phone too.
i damaged it accidentally and reparation costs do not worth this time.
I want to say goodbye to this honorable smartphone with a not easy shot made with it.
so i'm sorry to say "bye bye note!"
The climate here in Greece coupled with the fertile nature of the soil means an abundance of high quality cheap fruit and vegetables, eg, a kilo of oranges or lemons or grapefruit (around two pounds in weight) costs around one Euro!
Digital photography is not cheap, it costs a lot of money. The cameras and lenses prices come down because new gears come out, just like computers. I bought a Nikon D800 for $2400 in 2014 from a grey market and so far it has 61000 shutter clicks. Now this camera costs $600 with better condition and lower shutter clicks in Ebay. Same with lenses. I want to say take pictures as much as you can because you will loose the value of your gears in short time, and you shouldn’t buy unnecessary lenses. I bought a Nikon 24-120mm F4 for a $1000 from Adorama, and now it cost about $500.
NEW from .peaches. coming this Satuday (April 21st) is our Creative Courage deco set. Each item is between 1-2LI and materials enabled.

The Salvation Army is removing a number of clothing banks, notably closing 27 sites across Devon in early 2026, due to "fast fashion" creating unsustainable volumes of textile waste and changing market conditions. These closures aim to manage resources more effectively and reduce costs.
Everything eventually gives way in the face of greed and profit.
In a statement, the Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd said it was adjusting its clothing bank network as part of a "strategic review".
Councillor Jacqi Hodgson, vice chair of the Devon Authorities Strategic Waste Committee, said: "The rise in cheap, low quality clothing is causing a huge problem for the second hand textile industry and the environment."
It is estimated more than two tonnes of clothing, which equalled nearly 50 tonnes of carbon emissions, were bought in the UK each minute.

Renault 4
(Poznat i kao "Četvroka", "Katrica", "Mali div", "Kada"...)
-----
This French-made car was popular in the former Yugoslavia due to low running costs, simplicity, durability and practicality. It had comfortable suspension and relatively high ground clearance, so it could be driven on bad and unpaved roads. Thanks to the local advertisement, but also to its general characteristics in real life, Renault 4 was nicknamed "Little Giant". It was a favorite car in many Croatian coastal places with narrow streets and passages.
One of the many Plovers that are found on the coasts of India and are highly confusing to id. This was a lifer for me that morning.
Shot on a sandbank where there were 100's of the endangered Skimmers - -this was flying around and I managed to grab 1-2 shots from a difficult prone position.The area had a huge population of Lesser and Greater Sand Plovers - I am not 100% sure of the exact differences between them except for the size - this is the bigger of the two visibly.
This is a small bird - 20-25 cms and found across the costs of South Asia, Australia, South East Asia where it winters after migrating from Central Asia and parts of Siberia. The birds hunt marine worms, crustaceans, insects using a run and pause technique unlike the steady probing technique shown by other waders. There were 100's of these in the banks along with several other plovers and being small, were hard to get a decent shot from close.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
