A window in my room at the hotel "Moscow", the city of Uglich.
Through this window came a pleasant coolness from the Volga River. A gentle curtain developed in the wind like a sail :)
This is developed in DDG with the T2D tool using the sunset image I posted yesterday as a base. No further edits.
As you can see the structure of the image is almost identical. This is an impasto palette knife version with the emphasis on the light reflections and flaming colors. To me this is a lot more alike to what I saw than the camera image. The sky was ablaze!
Fishing boat with fishermen's equipment on the river bank in the morning at Karnafuli river (Kaptai). When fishermen fish in the fog-covered river in the winter morning, an unearthly environment is created. It's like a heavenly morning.
The name of the traditional river of ancient Chittagong is Karnafuli. This river is an immortal witness of thousands of years of history. Starting from the eastern hills, this river has merged with the Bay of Bengal on the wide western side.
The scenery of the two banks of Karnafuli is amazing. Everyone's eyes will be closed. The only hydropower plant in Bangladesh has been built on Karnafuli.
Chittagong, the holy land of Bar Auliya and the green land of natural beauty, has developed on the banks of Karnafuli. One of the main reasons for this beauty of Chittagong is Karnafuli. The port built on the banks of this river is economically important. Chittagong port is very old. The river is losing its romance. The river is only being attacked because of the profiteering people.
কর্ণফুলী নদীতে (কাপ্তাই) ভোরে নদীর তীরে জেলেদের সরঞ্জাম সহ মাছ ধরার নৌকা। শীতের ভোরে জেলেরা যখন কুয়াশা ঢাকা নদীতে মাছ ধরে তখন অপার্থিব পরিবেশ তৈরি হয়। এ যেন স্বর্গীয় এক সকাল।
প্রাচীন চট্টগ্রামের ঐতিহ্যবাহী নদীর নাম কর্ণফুলী। হাজার হাজার বছরের ইতিহাসের অমর সাক্ষী এই নদী। পূর্ব পাহাড় থেকে শুরু হয়ে বিস্তীর্ণ পশ্চিম পাশে গড়িয়ে গড়িয়ে বঙ্গোপসাগরের সাথে মিলে গেছে এই নদী।
কর্ণফুলীর দুই তীরের প্রাকৃতিক দৃশ্য এক কোথায় অসাধারণ। যে কারও চোখ জুড়াবেই। কর্ণফুলীর ওপরে গড়ে উঠেছে বাংলাদেশের একমাত্র জলবিদ্যুৎ কেন্দ্র।
কর্ণফুলীর তীরে গড়ে উঠেছে বার আউলিয়ার পুণ্যভূমি, প্রাকৃতিক সৌন্দর্যের লীলাভূমি চট্টগ্রাম। চট্টগ্রামের এই সৌন্দর্যের অন্যতম প্রধান কারণ হলো কর্ণফুলী। অর্থনৈতিকভাবে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ হলো এ নদীর তীরে গড়ে ওঠা বন্দর। চট্টগ্রাম বন্দর বহু পুরোনো।
নদী তার রোমান্টিকতা হারিয়ে ফেলছে। মুনাফালোভী মানুষের কারণে নদী কেবল আগ্রাসনের শিকার হচ্ছে।
মানবিক ও শৈল্পিক দৃষ্টিতে তার রূপ উপভোগ কিংবা নদীজীবনের স্বাদ গ্রহণের রুচি আজ হারিয়ে যাচ্ছে। কান পাতলে কর্ণফুলী নদী’র গুঞ্জন আজও শোনা যাবে, চোখ মেলে তাকালে পাহাড়-অরণ্য-উপত্যকা ভেদ করে ছুটে চলা স্রোতস্বিনীর সৌন্দর্যও দেখা যাবে।কিন্তু সে কান আর প্রাণ কোথায় আজ? প্রয়োজনের ক্ষুধিত চাহিদার থাবার নিচে সবই মিথ্যা হয়ে যাচ্ছে। হয়তো কর্ণফুলীর গুঞ্জন আদতে তার ক্রন্দন আজ। হয়তো দেশের অন্য নদীর ক্ষেত্রেও এ-ই সত্য।
The first time I posted a picture of this plant, someone from Rio Grande do Sul made a very interesting comment. He said that when Maricá blooms in late Summer is a sign of a harsh Winter.
The plant is quite abundant in Rio Grande do Sul, and long ago people have observed this connection between the late flowering of Maricá, and the characteristics of a stricter Winter.
Can it be true?
I photographed the plant in Minas, abundantly flowery in March. Winter has not yet started officially but in my hometown many are complaining of much lower than usual temperatures for Autumn. Let's see now how Winter will be ...
Scientific Name: The tree belongs to the Mimosaceae family, species Mimosa Bimucronata, "Maricá" in our idiom.
Features: Tree or shrub that can reach up to 15 m high and 40 cm in diameter in adulthood. It is a pioneer plant, aggressive, used in soil improvement, important in native essence reforestation for the recovery of degraded areas. It is not a long -lived plant (20 to 30 years).
Very flowering and ornamental, with scented flowers in a pompom shape, which attracts the bees. The fruits are quite showy and with red color.
Places of Occurrence: Occurs naturally in the states of Bahia, Alagoas, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.
It is adapted to soils poorly drained with sandy texture, but develops in stony soils, rock outcrops and wet slopes. It also develops well in fertile soils with adequate physical properties. The seedlings should be planted in full sun.
Wood is used in carpentry and as a source of energy (firewood and coal). The plant still has a high cellulose content, and is used in folk medicine. It is being widely used as a living fence in southern Brazil.
A photo of an old fence and barbed wire in the snow taken just before dawn in Jasper County, Iowa. I hope you also enjoy my accompanying poem and regardless, have a Happy Fence Friday !!
In the hush of winter’s dawn,
A fence and wire stand forlorn.
Amidst the snow's serene embrace,
A peaceful stillness fills this place.
The fence and wire, a symbol strong,
Of strength and time, they've been here long.
But in the snow, they seem so frail,
A reminder true, that all things pale.
The frozen air, is so crisp and clear,
I hear their whispered secrets in my ear.
Of days gone by and tales untold,
Of relentless strength amidst the cold.
For though the snow can bring us cold,
It also brings a beauty bold.
So let us take a moment's rest,
And see winter’s beauty in its best.

Kokanee Salmon is a landlocked species of the Sockeye Salmon. They are both silver for most of their life. When they are ready to spawn the sliver gradually turn to red, males turn very bright red and develop a distinctive hump, females turn pinkish red. They die after spawning.
The best thing about Flickr is the opportunity to learn and evolve. Without the community that Flickr is, I believe I would not have developed in the way I have. There are so many photographers on here who inspire me, whose work I love and whose support I appreciate. Starting today, I am going to showcase the work of some of my Flickr friends on my blog.

Mameda Town and its surroundings, which developed as a townspeople's land during the Tenryo period, retained a lot of land division at the time of residence, and traditional buildings remain well as a group, so the range of about 10.7 hectares was selected as a national important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings on December 10, 2004.
Hi, Me again...
In April 2021, I received my first 35mm as a gift from a fellow photography enthusiast. I seriously had no idea what I was doing but I immeditely knew I enjoyed it. The sound alone was enough to give me shivers!! Since then, I have shot a few rolls of film, find myself in possession of 5 new cameras, managed to process 2 rolls at home, 'scan', and now I'm ready to put them out there.
I don't ever profess to be a perfect photographer. If fact, I'm usually incredibly insecure. Digital photography always had me seeking perfection. It is silly because life isn't perfect, but regardless, I feared things like proper exposure and unconventional subjects. (Yes....insert eye roll here!)
The thing about film though, it has given me freedom it be imperfect, appreciate 'flaws' and embrace everyday life in an authentic and unpolished way. Film has given me permission to love the imperfect and see it for all its beauty. Also, the fact that my hands are on it from start to finish....well that... that alone gives me immense satisfaction.
So.....I'm saying be ready for the perfectly imperfect. And just to prove it...I resisted the urge to edit out my chicken pox scars. :-) I'm going to be brave and start sharing what I've been working on and what I love.
Here goes....

This somewhat rare and unusual car/truck took Best in Class at the 2024 Lime Rock Concours Show. The truck was developed around Studebaker's Dictator car, (looks more like their Commander model, so the info could be wrong) used it's chassis along the front and rear styling features of the car. This hybrid car/truck predated Ford's Ranchero and Chevrolet's El Camino by around 20 years.
The Studebaker Coupe Express is a passenger car based coupe utility, produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, between 1937 and 1939. Featuring an automobile styled cab and flared rear fenders right off the Studebaker Dictator, it was sold both with a manufacturer supplied pick up style metal bed, and as a rolling chassis and cab to be fitted with a bed or boxes by the purchaser.
The Coupe Express was designed by Raymond Loewy and utilized the Dictator passenger car frame, running gear, and front sheet metal. A new body stamping was made to form the cab back. The model was sold both with a manufacturer supplied metal bed and as a cab and chassis, with the Dictator’s automobile-style sweepingly flared rear fenders attached. A service box, built to specification, would be fabricated by (or for) the end user (such as a plumber or electrician).
The truck was powered by the larger of Studebaker's L-head six-cylinder flathead engines and mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. Studebaker offered a Borg-Warner 3-speed transmission with overdrive as an option. Other options included a radio, heater, wire reinforced sliding back window and turn indicators. Two optional wheels were available, including a stamped steel disc wheel and a stamped steel 'artillery' spoked wheel.
Production for the 1937 model year was approximately 3,000 units.
The truck's passenger cab was restyled in 1938 to reflect the modernized passenger car sheet metal resulted a slightly longer pickup bed. Production for 1938 was approximately 1,200 units.
The 1939 model was again remodeled to reflect Studebaker's annual design updates. Production was approximately 1,000 units. The Coupe Express model was discontinued after the 1939 model year, and Studebaker did not offer a successor model for 1940.
Studebaker introduced the M-Series pickup truck 1941, while the company used the Coupe Express name in advertising for a time,[citation needed] but no M-Series trucks were ever officially designated as the Coupe Express.
The fact that Studebaker itself labeled it a “coupe” rather than a truck (a very different thing at that time; retained a stylish, even luxurious, interior instead of replacing it with a more utilitarian one; and never named or officially referred to any of its actual pickup trucks with the terms “coupe“ or “express“, further distance it from being labeled as one.

A village in remote Barot valley in Mandi district of the state of Himachal Pradesh,India.
Barot is a village developed in the 1920s by the British for the Shanan Hydel project on the Uhl River.It is situated in an extremely remote and picturesque little valley about 25 kms off the Mandi-Jogindernagar highway in Himachal Pradesh.The valley is watered by the Uhl River and is famous for trout breeding.There are forests of Deodar,Oak and Rhododendron and pretty little villages surrounded by terraced fields,.Barot is at a distance of about 40 kms from the town of Jogindernagar but the British had also built a funicular trolley which reduces the distance to 12 kms.However the trolley ,as far as I could gather ,is no londger functional.
Barot is at the moment an off-beat tourist destination and I fervently hope it remains so because the signs of "development" have already started creeping in.
..in photographing there was extra surprise factor developing in a tank. Film is not dead (...even I have one or two in the freezer :) ), but it has become rare these digital days. So I guess one could say developing negatives is on the verge of extinction.
In my photo there is inherited instruments for developing film. I never used these metallic equipment, only the plastic ones.
I miss the slow motion of developing photoes and the long and dark hours in the darkroom...

Today's forms of money have developed from primitive money, e.g. B. mussels or rice, which were accepted as a means of exchange in business life. Money initially belonged to the cultic and legal sphere and referred to "that with which one can repay or pay penance and sacrifices". Only after the 14th century did it assume its current meaning as a "coined currency". From the middle of the 19th century, the gold standard existed in many countries, promising the exchange of legal tender (coins, banknotes) for a fixed amount of gold. By the 1930s almost all major states had abandoned the gold standard. Instead of such a standard, monetary policy measures were taken by the central banks to ensure price stability.
Partial excerpt from: (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geld#Etymologie)
Geld, auch benannt als:
Cash (englisch für „Bargeld“)
Kies (jiddisch kis, „Geldbeutel“)
Mäuse (jiddisch meus, „Geld“)
Moneten (lateinisch moneta, „Münze“; vgl. engl. money)
Moos (jiddisch und rotwelsch moos, mous (Plural), „Geld“)
Penunze (berlinisch Penunse, von polnisch pieniądze, aus dem Westgermanischen, verwandt mit althochdeutsch pfenning)
Zaster (rotwelsch saster, „Eisen“)
Kohle
Asche
Pulver (gemeint ist Zündpulver; vgl. sein Geld verpulvern, veraltet: verzünden)
Kröten, Mücken
Entwickelt haben sich die heutigen Geldformen aus Primitivgeld, z. B. Muscheln oder Reis, die im Geschäftsleben als Tauschmittel akzeptiert wurden. Geld gehörte anfangs zur kultischen und rechtlichen Sphäre und bezeichnete „das, womit man Buße und Opfer erstatten bzw. entrichten kann“. Erst nach dem 14. Jahrhundert nahm es seine aktuelle Bedeutung als „geprägtes Zahlungsmittel“ an. Ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts existierte in vielen Ländern der Goldstandard, bei dem der Umtausch von gesetzlichen Zahlungsmitteln (Münzen, Banknoten) in eine feststehende Menge Gold versprochen wurde. Um 1930 haben fast alle größeren Staaten den Goldstandard aufgegeben. An die Stelle eines solchen Standards traten geldpolitische Maßnahmen der Notenbanken, die eine Preisniveaustabilität sicherstellen sollten.
