The catalogue description gives us "A woman and two men pushing and pulling a cart with a child on it along a cobblestone street, possibly in France, Rue de Riosspelk". Well you all know that we like to have a good foreign shot from time to time, what can you tell us about this cracking photo from the Dillons?
+++ UPDATE +++
Well, this was our very first photograph ever that featured a dog pulling a cart! Lovely that after all these years, we're still finding unexpected gems in our photos. derangedlemur and Niall McAuley weren't long in narrowing this “Out Foreign” Dillon family photograph to Belgium, then to Brussels. And with Sharon Corbet’s help, we found ourselves located on the Rue aux Laines.

Description:
The Ring Nebula (also catalogued as Messier 57, M57 or NGC 6720) is a planetary nebula in the mildly northern constellation of Lyra. Such nebulae are formed by a starburst – ionized gas has expelled into the surrounding interstellar medium by a star to form a vast luminous envelope containing the star in its last stages of its evolution before becoming a white dwarf.
This nebula was discovered by the French astronomer Charles Messier while searching for comets in late January 1779. Messier's report of his independent discovery of Comet Bode reached fellow French astronomer Antoine Darquier de Pellepoix two weeks later, who then independently rediscovered the nebula while following the comet. Darquier later reported that it was "...as large as Jupiter and resembles a planet which is fading" (which may have contributed to the use of the persistent "planetary nebula" terminology).

A description from Wikipedia:
The Protestant Cemetery (Italian: Cimitero protestante), officially called the Cimitero acattolico ("Non-Catholic Cemetery") and often referred to as the Cimitero degli Inglesi ("Englishmen's Cemetery") is a cemetery in Rome, located near Porta San Paolo alongside the Pyramid of Cestius, a small-scale Egyptian-style pyramid built in 30 BC as a tomb and later incorporated into the section of the Aurelian Walls that borders the cemetery. Mediterranean cypress trees and other foliage in the cemetery cause it to mirror the more natural style of cemeteries seen in the lusher regions of northern Europe. As the name of the cemetery indicates, it is the final resting place of non-Catholics (not only Protestants or English people).
The earliest known burial is that of an Oxford student named Langton in 1738. The most famous graves are those of the English poets John Keats (1795–1821) and Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822). Keats died in Rome of tuberculosis. His epitaph, which does not mention him by name, is by his friends Joseph Severn and Charles Brown: "This grave contains all that was mortal, of a YOUNG ENGLISH POET, Who on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart, at the Malicious Power of his Enemies, Desired these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone: Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water." Shelley drowned off the Italian Riviera and was cremated on the shore near Viareggio. His ashes were interred in the Protestant Cemetery; his heart, which his friend Edward John Trelawny had snatched from the flames, was kept by his widow Mary Shelley until her death and buried with her in Bournemouth.
My note: The cemetery is one of the most beautiful and peaceful cemeteries or parks I've ever had the fortune to spend a few hours in. All that was missing was a nice tea picnic. We went to the Keats-Shelley house afterwards.

Description:
Nestled amidst the celestial splendor of Orion, M78 emerges as a mesmerizing portrait of interstellar artistry. This iconic reflection nebula, located about 1,350 light-years away, owes its ethereal glow to the light of young, massive stars scattering off the surrounding cosmic dust. Captured with a precision 9.25-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope at a focal length of 1635mm, this image delves into the heart of one of the Orion molecular cloud complex's brightest treasures. Dark tendrils of dust weave through the nebula like veins, while the faint blue haze hints at the energetic processes shaping this stellar nursery. In the proximity of neighboring giant nebulae like the Orion Nebula (M42) and Barnard's Loop, M78 feels like a hidden jewel in the vast tapestry of cosmic creation. This detailed view not only highlights its scientific importance as a site of active star formation but also invites the viewer to imagine the dynamic forces at work in this bustling galactic neighborhood.

Good morning everyone. Up next in the "wild blue yonder" series is a F-86 Sabre, of which a brief description can be found at the end of the caption.
As seen in the above photo, and with others I'll be posting, you might get the impression I was in another plane above it. I wish it was the case, but it's total illusion.
As for the clouds, it was mostly cloudy in the morning which gave way to partly cloudy conditions in the afternoon. In some cases the clouds made for a nice background, but in others with the sun shining brightly on them made things problematic. Plus it being bright sunshine one second and overcast the next played havoc with exposure settings, of which I do all the camera settings manually.
Enough said for now...back to nature pics tomorrow for a day or two. But please keep on reading...
The North American F-86 Sabre, sometimes called simply Sabrejet, is a transonic jet fighter aircraft. Produced by North American Aviation, the Sabre is best known as the United States' first swept wing fighter that could counter the similarly-winged Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights in the skies of the Korean War (1950–1953), fighting some of the earliest jet-to-jet battles in history. Considered one of the best and most important fighter aircraft in that war, the F-86 is also rated highly in comparison with fighters of other eras. Although it was developed in the late 1940s and was outdated by the end of the 1950s, the Sabre proved versatile and adaptable and continued as a front-line fighter in numerous air forces until the last active operational examples were retired by the Bolivian Air Force in 1994.
As for this particular aircraft, F-86F-25-NH, SERNO 51-13361. It was originally assigned to the 435th Fighter Bomber Squadron, 479th Fighter Bomber Wing (9th Air Force), George AFB, CA.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Margaret's,_Cley
In 2008 a white-crowned sparrow, an American bird not usually seen in the United Kingdom, was spotted in Cley. Visiting birders donated more than £3,000 to a collection for the church's restoration. To commemorate the event an image of the bird was included in a window at St Margaret's.
We visited as the sun was going down and the shadow of the bird was thrown onto the adjacent wall (not very clearly). However, we found it magical!
Excerpt from historicplaces.ca:
Description of Historic Place
The Mutual Life Assurance Co. of Canada Building is located at 227 King Street South, on the northwest corner of Union Street and King Street South, in the City of Waterloo. The two-storey Roman brick clad building was designed in the Modern Renaissance style by architect Frank Darling, and was constructed in 1912 and 1921.
The property was designated, for its historic and architectural significance, by the City of Waterloo, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 79-188).
Heritage Value
Located between Uptown Waterloo and Downtown Kitchener, the Mutual Life Assurance Co. of Canada Building is a prominent and well known historic landmark. It has defined the commercial character and history of the City since its construction, close to a century ago. Placed within spacious grounds, the building is approached through a pair of wrought iron gates, flanked with large ornamental topped stone pillars. An open stone flagged forecourt, laid out in a hexagonal pattern forms the connecting link between the gateway and the front entrance.
The Mutual Life Assurance Co. of Canada Building was the first life insurance company to open in the City of Waterloo. The company was responsible for pioneering one of the largest commerce industries in the region. Incorporated in December, 1868, as the Ontario Mutual Life Assurance Company, the firm obtained a Dominion Charter in 1878. From 1900 to 1999 the company operated under the same name, until it was renamed, Clarica, when it was acquired by Sun Life Financial, in 2002.
The head office of the firm opened in 1912, after moving from a stone and red-brick building, which they had built in 1879, at the corner of Albert and Erb Streets. The growth of the firm, representing one of the largest insurance companies in Waterloo, served as an important source of employment for the City. It also acted as a cushion against the boom and bust cycles of the economy, for over a century. Isaac Bowman, M.P., the founding president, and Moses Springer, M.P.P., the first Mayor of Waterloo, were among the earliest company officials.
The Mutual Life Assurance Co. of Canada building has architecturally strikingly rich materials and detail. It was designed by prominent architect Frank Darling, of the Toronto firm, Darling and Pearson. The impressive structure was erected in 1912, with an addition in 1921, which duplicated the original architecture. Numerous additions have been made to the building over the years, however the integrity of the original design is still very evident. The 1912 building and 1921 addition is of the Modern Renaissance style of architecture and was constructed of light-brown and yellow, narrow Roman brick, with panelled grey stone quoins and moulded pedimented windows. A leaf and floral design is located beneath the cornice, while above, is a parapet with a balustrade. Terra cotta, made in England, was imported for the decorative features of the building's façade. The main (King Street) entrance features impressive oak doors, flanked by two pairs of fluted ionic columns, crowned with a circular pediment.
Character-Defining Elements
Character defining elements that contribute to the heritage value of the Mutual Life Assurance Co. of Canada building include its:
- landmark status, defining the commercial character and history of the City of Waterloo
- significant vistas from King Street South and Union Street
- placement on spacious, well-landscaped grounds with a central stone flagged forecourt surrounded by a grand iron fence
- impressive size and massing of the building's Modern Renaissance style
- King Street facade of the 1912 building
- Union Street facade of the 1912 and 1921 building
- Roman brick cladding with panelled stone quoins and moulded pedimented windows
- high base of Ohio Sandstone
- moulded architrave and floral scroll frieze beneath the modillion cornice displaying stone carving in a floral and leaf pattern
- parapet wall with open balustrade situated above the cornice
- entrance portico, placed in the centre of the principle (King Street) façade consisting of a wide doorway with large oak doors and a broad flight of steps
- two pairs of fluted ionic columns flanking the main entrance
