What a difference 30 minutes and 24 km makes, we arrived in Zutphen damp but drying out the sun actually tried to break through several times after leaving the car at a nearby parking lot exploring our way to the old town of this lovely historic Hanseatic town.
Zutphen has been inhabited for over 1700 years and was founded by the Franks during the time of the Roman Empire making it one of Holland’s oldest cities.
Being founders of the Hanseatic League the town has always been prosperous and despite its small size boasts over 450 national monuments thanks to its long wealthy history.
When you are slogging about dripping wet hunched over loaded down with camera gear in the pissing rain you just have to persevere and hope for a break in the weather or good spots that can shield you from the wet while shooting.
For most travel photographers its not like we will always have another opportunity to be back in the same direction so good wet weather gear and umbrellas are the order of the day when traveling in the fall most especially in the Netherlands.
Captured here is the pedestrian mall leading to the Tower of the Walburgis church which was at one time 113m tall but since 1600 reduced to a mere 76m though small in stature it is still a beauty and has been around since the 13th century ushering the locals to sermon.
I took this on September 19th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 28mm 1/8s, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

We are celebrating the Old New Year! I congratulate you on this! Let all your dreams come true!
In Russia, according to statistics, about half of the country's population celebrates the Old New Year, gathering around the festive table.
The Old New Year came into our culture together with the old style of chronology.
In 1918, the Bolshevik government decided to change the calendar. Tsarist Russia lived according to the Julian calendar, and Europe according to the Gregorian calendar. The first was created in the Roman Empire and was based on ancient Egyptian astronomy. The Gregorian calendar was more accurate, it was created in the 16th century taking into account the latest knowledge about the structure of the universe. The difference between the two systems of calculation was 13 days and created inconveniences for conducting international political and economic affairs and led to funny incidents in everyday life. For example, according to the dates on postmarks, it turned out that a telegram was received in Europe several days earlier than it was sent in Russia.
The transition to the Western European calendar took place on February 14, 1918. According to the decree, the main goal of the entire project was "to establish in Russia the same calendar as almost all cultural nations." An unusual holiday also appeared - the Old New Year, that is, the New Year according to the old style, which was not forgotten by the people. However, the Old New Year was not celebrated as widely as the night from December 31 to January 1.
First time trying to recreate a photo. The light situation was similar. It was interesting for me to see how much the Planet guys worked on their image. I think they had to do an HDR to get those details and colours in the shadows. Also, some more heavy manipulation happening beside the changes time did to this situation.
Ever see a MLB manager going nose to nose in a dispute with the umpire? Well, that's what this one reminds me of.
What a difference a week makes! When I photographed this scene last week on my walk to Cholesbury, it was dull and grey. This time I headed down to Chesham Vale then up to the Ashley Green Road.
The Vale is a dry valley where a spring is one of the headwaters feeding the River Chess. In the 1930s the road would regularly turn into a river after torrential rain and the flood even reached Chesham. Th problem was largely overcome by the building of a pumping station further up the Vale to supply Aylesbury with water. However recent heavy storms still cause flash flooding!
HFF and have a great weekend Flickr friends.
The difference between the morning temperature and the midday one is very huge!
When the sun is up it still looks like summer!
We were at the park here! With this usual abandoned and metallic thing! I think I’m the only one who find it useful!
The sky was beautiful and I needed to put it in my camera!
Lassie and I wish you all Happy Sunday from our blue sky (we’re sitting on a cloud just to be closer to the sky!!!!...yes, usual madness… :D )
PS
yes....it's better!
House Finches, particularly males, can look very different from one to another. This is largely due to differences in their diet rather than regional differences.
Even though all of eastern North America’s House Finches are descended from the same few birds released on Long Island (meaning they’re much more closely related to each other than they are to birds across the West), there aren’t any strong differences in size, shape, or color between the two regions.

True belonging is not passive. It's not the belonging that comes with just joining a group. It's not fitting in or pretending or selling out because it's safer. It's a practice that requires us to be vulnerable, get uncomfortable, and learn how to be present with people without sacrificing who we are.
Dr. Brené Brown
Belongingness entails an unwavering commitment to not simply tolerating and respecting difference, but to ensuring that all people are welcome and feel that they belong.
John A. Powell
Today, if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Theresa, Saint Teresa of Calcutta
The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don't talk anymore, they don't sit down to talk and listen. They go to the cinema, watch television, listen to the radio, read books, update their status on the internet, but they almost never talk. If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories
Paulo Coelho
We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, ‘It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.
Fred Rogers
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill
When we choose to wonder about people we don’t know, when we imagine their lives and listen for their stories, we begin to expand the circle of those we see as part of us.
Valarie Kaur
We must remain hopeful that a universal ethic of courage, caring, sharing, respect, radical compassion, and love will make a difference. We can never be too generous or too kind.
Marc Bekoff
I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other. Everything comes from an understanding that you are a gift in my life — whoever you are, whatever our differences.

To my Flickr family, I love every one of you!
We all get these 365 days, that are coming to us, the only difference will be what we choose to do with them. Even though a new year doesn't change what is going on presently in our lives, it doesn't change the challenges we face, but with it comes new beginnings, new hopes, fresh starts, and countless opportunities. Embrace it with open arms.
My wish for you is that this year, you write the most beautiful story possible. Remember, no matter what you do, take chances. Leap with your eyes closed sometimes, be spontaneous, and work hard. But remember to play just as hard, laugh until you cry, and if you get a chance at love, make sure to love as if it's your first time. be true to the ones who love you. Remember that grass is healthy, and a good glass of red wine takes away the day's stress.
*Raises my glass!* Here is to wishing everyone a year filled with peace, love, and happiness! Cheers!
Another cookie jar shot but pretty simple stuff because we are busy doing things we didn't do yet, if you know what I mean. A cookie jar shot stretched a little with one of the transform tools. Another photo turned b&w but was small so used the free transform tool to make it fit a full layer over the cookie jar and all colour removed leaving just the b&w outline. The 'show guides' in Ps is handy for this. Then used the overlay mode difference before flattening again. Fries my eyeballs a little bit but my brain will feel uncomfortable if i don't do a third. i don't have a third so will have to look for something suitable later...Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday...Sue..x
The Point Reyes peninsula is a well defined area, geologically separated from the rest of Marin County and almost all of the continental United States by a rift zone of the San Andreas Fault, about half of which is sunk below sea level and forms Tomales Bay. The fact that the peninsula is on a different tectonic plate than the east shore of Tomales Bay produces a difference in soils and therefore to some extent a noticeable difference in vegetation.
The peninsula includes wild coastal beaches and headlands, estuaries, and uplands. Parts of the park are private farms and ranches which have commercial cattle grazing. These were leased back when the park was purchased to continue these historic uses. Other parts are under the jurisdiction of other conservation authorities but the National Park Service provides signage and manages visitor impact on the entire peninsula and Tomales Bay.
Rhingia rostrata (known in some places as the Grey-backed Snout) is one of a pair of at first glance roughly similar Hoverflies.
In Northumberland ever since I’ve paid attention to these we see the darker bodied Rhingia campestris across the county.
Rhingia rostrata was found for the first time in 2021 in Bothal near Morpeth. I was with the finder who announced this was the site where he found it last year and it would be good to see another.
I looked at the plants right in front of us and said how about this one then. You couldn’t make it up!!
There are subtle differences, the more orangey coloured abdomen being one but variation means that is not a wholly reliable feature. The absence of a black line running the length of the abdomen however confirms the species.
Another new species for me and proof that it wasn’t a one off sighting.
We are all afraid. The difference is in the question: afraid of what? Frank Thiess

I am currently preparing for an art show in San Jose, California, called Travel Perspectives: Explore | Experience | Connect. We are three San Francisco Bay Area photographers who share our perspectives and styles in an exhibition celebrating the intentional and opportunistic traveler. If you are nearby please join our opening reception at the Art Ark Gallery on September 2nd. See details at www.artarkgallery.com/travel-perspectives.html
I'll exhibit this photo of Macau at the gallery. In Macau you get the feel of the old colonial times, as well as the bustling casino life. This shot is from the old part of the town facing the Grand Lisboa hotel. This juxtaposition highlights the difference between colonial life and indigenous life, and now between tourists and locals.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

What a difference from five days ago when the temperature was 75 degrees to today and the temperature was 30 degrees and snow falling.
There is little difference between the spring and fall plumages of the adults of this species. It can be difficult to age and sex this species and it can be safely done in fall only at the extremes of plumage. The dullest plumage is the first fall female and the individual at the bottom is a good representative of that. Notice the olive and yellow and how low contrasty the bird is. There is some slight contrast between the extreme forehead near the beak along with the area just above the eye compared to the more olive crown and back. There is no bright yellow anywhere. The eye line is not as black and the wing bars are much thinner. The beak of all fall birds of this species is lighter in the fall but the first fall female beak is a pinkish brown.
The bird on top is probably a fall adult male. There is lots of contrast between the olive and yellow areas including the forecrown area. The wing bars are thicker and the eye line is unquestionably black. First fall males and adult females are intermediate in plumage between these two and some of those may at their extremes closely resemble the bird on top.
...the adventure begins.
I know...similar to the other shot...a few differences. I was sort of captivated by the light play...shocking! :D
T'étais là, sur mon chemin, au milieu des autres, mon regard s'est posé sur toi.
Les rencontres, c'est un peu comme la pub de La vache qui rit "le casting". On est trop ou pas assez. Pour plaire à tout le monde, il faut une sacrée personnalité.
A moi, ta différence m'a plu.
______________________________________
You were there, on my way, among the others, my eyes fell on you.
The meetings are a bit like the advertisement for The Laughing Cow "the casting". We are too much or not enough. To please everyone, you need a hell of a personality.
To me, your difference pleased me.
Sing me a Song.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️
