One of the less clearly sign-posted waterfalls in Wales. I had to follow guide notes on various websites to find it. There was a good path and a bridge though. So I think that they wanted people to visit.
With the lack of opportunity to move freely during Covid 19, I decided to take a series of shots of reflections in the local streams, ponds, ditches and a short stretch of the River Thames.

IORY 1 year ago looked completely different than it does now, the yellow SD60s took over quite quickly and it's definitely reduced my reasons to photograph the railroad, but sometimes you just end up doing it anyways out of boredom.
With the lack of opportunity to move freely during Covid 19, I decided to take a series of shots of reflections in the local streams, ponds, ditches and a short stretch of the River Thames.
Nerium oleander is a shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts. It is the only species currently classified in the genus Nerium. It is most commonly known as nerium or oleander, from its superficial resemblance to the unrelated olive Olea. It is so widely cultivated that no precise region of origin has been identified, though southwest Asia has been suggested. Oleander is one of the most poisonous commonly grown garden plants. Oleander grows to 2–6 m tall, with erect stems that splay outward as they mature; first-year stems have a glaucous bloom, while mature stems have a grayish bark. The flowers grow in clusters at the end of each branch; they are white, pink to red. 33119
Plaza de la Constitución, Donostia, Guipúzcoa, España.
La plaza de la Constitución es una plaza situada en la Parte Vieja de la ciudad de San Sebastián, en el PaÃs Vasco, España. En esta plaza, con sus soportales como caracterÃstica principal, se suelen celebrar las grandes fiestas y eventos de la ciudad, como la tamborrada de San Sebastián o la feria del dÃa de Santo Tomás. Su edificio central fue, hasta 1947, casa consistorial de la ciudad, siendo ocupado por las instalaciones de la Biblioteca Municipal (1951-2000) y, posteriormente, por dependencias administrativas del área de cultura del Ayuntamiento.
Sobre el espacio que ocupa la actual plaza de la Constitución ya existÃa una plaza realizada según el proyecto de Hércules Torrelli de 1723. La nueva plaza de estilo neoclásico se levantó tras el incendio de la ciudad en el contexto del asedio de San Sebastián de 1813. Sus dimensiones se encuentran moduladas en 20 arcos iguales en cada uno de los lados mayores y 9 arcos, iguales a los primeros, en el lado menor.
Los balcones de la plaza están numerados, puesto que sirvieron como palcos para las fiestas taurinas celebradas en la plaza.
The Plaza de la Constitución is a square located in the Old Part of the city of San Sebastián, in the Basque Country, Spain. In this square, with its arcades as its main characteristic, the city's big parties and events are usually celebrated, such as the tamborrada de San Sebastián or the Santo Tomás day fair. Its central building was, until 1947, consistorial house of the city, being occupied by the facilities of the Municipal Library (1951-2000) and, later, by administrative dependencies of the area of ​​culture of the City council.
Over the space that occupies the current Plaza de la Constitución there was already a square made according to the project of Hercules Torrelli in 1723. The new neoclassical square was built after the fire of the city in the context of the siege of San Sebastian in 1813. Its dimensions are modulated in 20 equal arcs in each one of the greater sides and 9 arcs, equal to the first ones, in the smaller side.
The balconies of the square are numbered, since they served as boxes for bullfighting celebrations held in the square.
After running some errands I wasn't planning on doing anything else for the day, but a hot tip about a daylight EDPL made me muster up enough motivation to go out. Here we see EDPL blasting south by CPR-33 in Deerfield, MA with a pair of GP40's powering the 35 car train. CPR-33 is one of the last interlockings on the Conn River that still uses B&M searchlight signals (the other being the southern home signal at CPF 385). As I type this post, EDPL is currently tied down on the Controlled Siding at CPR-1 in Springfield, where it will be capped with a Cab Signal equipped leader for the rest of their journey overnight to Plainville.
Current
May. Rain has been pounding the Adirondacks for several days, and supersaturated the mountains. Seasonal streams have awakened, runoff and percolation feed the flow, all that water finding it’s lowest level and charging the whole Schroon ecosystem. Some miles below the dam at the lake, the river picks up speed on gradients through boulder fields, now inundated and drowned under the flow. They are immovable, their resistance invisible but for the standing waves throughout the volume. A light mist hovers above the raging current. Standing this close, I can feel the vibration of it’s power, urging my blood pressure higher to match the atmosphere I’m in. Here is spring as allegory to life, the relentless wildness of youth, bursting to race ahead towards that age when you don’t. What I wouldn’t give to truly feel that voltage again, and know the trajectory of where I was headed, instead of treading, spent, looking back at where I’ve come. I stay awhile on the edge of the surge, enjoying the power of the season.
The watermill Lippholthausen (Schloßmühle Lippholthausen) in the Lippholthausen district of Lünen is a grain mill built in 1760 near the river Lippe. The watermill of the former Buddenburg noble house is a late Baroque half-timbered building, not far from the former Buddenburg Castle.
From the 14th century until 1902, the Buddenburg house was owned by the Frydag family of Buddenburg. The Frydags belong to the very old Westphalian nobles. The family is mentioned for the first time in 1198.
Around 1535, the noble family built a watermill south of Brunnenstraße and opposite Schlossallee. At the former river Henebecke a large millpond was excavated.
Afterwards, the runs of the creek Henebecke, Sadbecke, Wilbecke and Seltenbecke were diverted so that they flowed directly into the new millpond and fed it with water.
After the mill had been completed and put into operation, the farmers in the area of the thirlage "Buddenburg Mahlzwang" had to come to the castle mill to have their grain ground.
Nothing remains of the mill built at the beginning of the 16th century. However, the current mill building already has a considerable number of years on the hump: It was built in 1760 by Wessel Giesbert von Frydag.
In 1903, Haus Buddenburg and the mill were inherited by the Rüxleben family. The latter finally sold the property to the city of Lünen in 1913. Until 1930 grain was ground in the castle mill.
The old mill pond above the castle mill is no longer present, it was filled in 1938 during the construction of the Lippewerk. A loss for trippers, they could sail around on the pond with paddle boats.
Until the end of the 1970s, the House of Buddenburg, which also included the castle mill, stood in the district of Lippholthausen, now part of Lünen.
The Mühlenfreunde Lippholthausen e. V. restored and maintains the mill, which currently serves as an excursion restaurant and can also be used for weddings. It was placed under monument protection in 1985.
On the left is a wonderful artwork by Jack Monaghan with a peace lily Pete gave me a couple of years ago in bloom.
This artwork is currently for sale at Yoyo in Wellington and online via this link. I'm so excited his artwork is available on a global stage. I plan to share more shortly along with a tale of the impact his artworks have had on me.
Happy weekend everyone! Autumn arrived here today but Summer came back for a tar tar this afternoon. Yay!
We've been experiencing a lot of cloudy weather recently and very little sun so, I was grateful for a short sunny period while I took this reflection in a channel of water flowing between buildings in Kingston.
Last week I visited the wildlife park and although I missed the "Bird of Prey Show" I lucked out because the keeper talked to someone he know and I got the chance to ask for some portrait pictures.
The current lighthouse was built in 1949 by the Highways of the time and lit in 1952. It is an octagonal pyramidal tower masonry stone on a pyramidal and pentagonal base in stone. The lighthouse is connected to the first floor of a building housing square babysitting housing. A closet, next, finish the work. It is automated.
