The forever beautiful and enchanting Kelly Hall tarn at sunset. Love the trees at the tarn, so many composition potential.
Differenti punti di vista, riflesso sulle gocce della fontana di piazza Castello l'angolo con via Roma. Molti tentativi, alla fine è venuta fuori.
Via Roma seen through the fountain waterdrops of piazza Castello, Turin, Italy.
All along the edge of the steep and some what daunting Dunkirk Hill is a population of Common Spotted Orchids from Boughton to the top. Not my favourite hill to cycle up but the rewards are well worth it!

Le pavement de la Cathédrale comporte toute une série de dessins différents répartis entre les différents secteurs de l'édifice. Ce dallage restauré au XIXe siècle, a été conçu et dessiné au XIIIe siècle.
The Cathedral's floor has a whole series of different designs distributed between the different sectors of the building. This paving, restored in the 19th century, was designed and designed in the 13th century.
La pièce maîtresse de ce dallage est un labyrinthe octogonal situé au niveau de la cinquième travée de la nef. Il est long de 234 mètres. Au Moyen Âge, certains pèlerins venus vénérer les reliques de saint Jean-Baptiste, dont le crâne avait été ramené en 1206 par le chanoine Wallon de Sarton, le parcouraient à genoux, à la manière d'un chemin de croix. Ils devaient pour cela suivre la ligne noire. C'était une épreuve que devaient subir ceux qui désiraient se sanctifier, ou gagner quelques indulgences ou encore expier des péchés graves qu'ils avaient commis.
The centerpiece of this paving is an octagonal labyrinth located at the level of the fifth bay of the nave. It is 234 meters long. In the Middle Ages, certain pilgrims who came to venerate the relics of Saint John the Baptist, whose skull had been brought back in 1206 by Canon Wallon de Sarton, traveled it on their knees, like the Stations of the Cross. To do this, they had to follow the black line. It was a test that those who wished to sanctify themselves, or gain some indulgences, or atone for serious sins they had committed, had to undergo.
Tried a different style of editing with this picture.
I don't know if it gives off the film/toy camera effect as i was hoping for but yeah.
On a side note, I've been playing pokémon again.
The child in my strikes once again.

Despite knowing this walk so well, there were a couple of moments when I lost my bearings in this blanket of fog.

These are from the current exhibition at Leamington Art Gallery, A Different View. It features women artists from the gallery's collection, a number of them born before the end of the 19th century. Painted in 1935 this is The Innocent, A New Day by Dod Procter. Born in 1890, she was one of the first generation of women artists permitted to draw models from life.
Just to share with you my photography fellows. 6 or 7 years ago I started shooting tiny flowers, bugs and landscapes, I wanted to share them with you guys in Flickr, many of you offered me help to improve my photography but one of my mentors in England called Pete, someone whose friendship has changed my life for the better. He in England, me in Honduras, 2 different countries and cultures, languages, races but with the same goal, to spread some joy to poor children in my place.
2 weeks ago I was awarded by the NGO Vital Voices Honduras with the Leadership in Human Rights 2016, I never ever expected to be awarded, it was never my intention to be recognized like that but one thing takes you to another and now I want to share my little success and I want to inspire others to use our hobby to something meaningful.
I have always said "Photography has changed my life"
If you want to get to know this brown, short and old woman, many of you won´t understand a word as it is in Spanish, there is a video they made about my job in Brighter Lives. Thanks for watching.
'Where did our counterparts go?' Labneh asked.
I was still wondering if that was all a dream, but the others saw the cloud too so it had to be real. Just how could there be two different histories, with two different versions of us exploring these woods?
'I think they went up that path back there, and we're heading down this one,' said Pistachio. 'Two different paths, but now we're taking both the same time.'
'Oh,' I said. It didn't make sense either.
'Think of it as two teams on an adventure. Don't think of them as versions of us from an alternate reality,' Pistachio added.
'Okay, so we're part of the same group and just split up to cover a wider area.'
'Yeah, something like that.'
Cumin tugged my paw, gesturing to the sloping banks of the hill. The path our counterparts took led them to a region we had never explored before. I always thought it was brambles and a fence up there, with no way of getting through.
'Maybe that way is different in their universe. Maybe the woods look different,' I said. 'But really they're just exploring a different part of the forest.'
'One thing I don't get though,' Cashew interrupted. 'In their world, Henry Tudor didn't become king after Bosworth Field. Which means he did not marry Elizabeth of York and have seven children named Arthur, Margaret, Henry, Elizabeth, Mary, Edmund and Katherine. Arthur died when he was fifteen, so Henry became the crown prince. He was Henry the Eighth. Margaret later became Queen of Scotland after marrying James the Fourth.'
'So no Mary Queen of Scots either,' Pistachio said.
'And that's not all. Didn't Christopher Columbus ask Henry Tudor to sponsor his expedition across the Atlantic and Henry turned him down? That's why Columbus asked the Spanish. If there's a different king and queen, maybe they say yes and Christopher Columbus sails from an English or Welsh port. Imagine where they'd land. Imagine how different things will be in the Americas. Britain would make first contact, not Spain,' Cashew went on. 'And what about Australia and India and the British Empire? What happens there?'
Pistachio interrupted him with a deep chuckle. 'I see you've been thinking about this a lot,' he said.
'So have you,' Cashew retorted.
It was beginning to make my head hurt. History was always something solid and unchanging. Something we learned in school. But now it was like the whole world had been turned upside down. No, not the whole world, an entire universe of universes and someone had come along and shaken it all up for a big hilarious prank.
Only I wasn't laughing. Something about this felt serious. Myrddin's voice was so grave, but there was a hint of mischief too. I didn't want to find out what might happen if we failed.
'So, what might Henry Tudor do to stop him becoming king?' I said.
'Apart from the obvious getting himself killed at Bosworth?' said Cashew. 'I don't know. He's not the kind of guy to just give up and go back to Pembroke and live a quiet life tending a garden.'
'Something must have happened to cause him to lose the battle,' said Labneh.
'That's what I think too,' Pistachio said.
Just then the shimmering cloud appeared and I heard our counterparts talking about their history.
'Hello, can you hear us?' said Hazel through the cloud.
'Yes,' I said.
'That's weird. Two Falafels,' said Cashew's counterpart.
The others looked unnerved too, hearing their other selves speak through the cloud. But I pursed my snout and pretended it was all perfectly normal.
'Do you know what Henry Tudor did when he stayed in Aberystwyth?' Hazel asked. 'It's just we don't know much about him. In our history, he's a rebel warlord that everyone prefers to forget. If he became king we wouldn't have the de la Poles and their union with the Howards. Aberystwyth Castle wouldn't be preserved. Christopher Columbus might not set sail from Bristol and land in Newfoundland. Did he sail south along the coast from there? His second expedition took him to the Potomac and Anacostia rivers where he met the Piscataway people. Potomac City has become a thriving hub for artists nowadays.'
'Does Gwladfa exist in your universe? William Penn became the first president of Gwladfa,' said their Cashew. 'And what about Mexico? Is it still the global superpower like the Middle East Economic Union?'
'Wait, what what what?' Pistachio gabbled. 'This is getting too much. Our worlds are so different.'
'I know about William Penn. Pennsylvania was named after him. It means, Penn's Woods. He tried to encourage Welsh people to settle there,' said Cashew.
'I like the name Pennsylvania. It sounds like Transylvania,' said their Cashew with a chuckle. 'Does that mean their Pennsylvania is full of Welsh vampires?'
Both Cashews laughed.
'Anyway,' I said, trying to get us back to the question. 'You want to know about Henry Tudor's visit to Aberystwyth?' I turned and looked at the others. 'Anyone know?'
'I do know a little bit from when we visited the university that time,' said Cumin. 'Henry Tudor had a big camping holiday, but he only stayed in Aberystwyth for one or two days on August the tenth.'
'Yes, that's right. He traveled through Wales to gather recruits for his army. He must have recruited a lot of people from Aberystwyth and Machynlleth,' said Pistachio.
'Okay, but do you know where in Aberystwyth he went? Did he have alone time or visit the woods?' asked Hazel. She paused. 'Pistachio, it's great to hear you outside. So you didn't hurt your paw by stepping on a thorn?'
'No, no thorns in these paws,' Pistachio held up his paws proudly.
'He really hurt himself. His paw's been giving him balagan, apparently,' said their version of me.
Labneh tugged my paw again, gesturing to the views over Aberystwyth down the hill behind us. 'What if Henry Tudor hurt himself in their universe but not in ours?' she whispered.
Our counterparts overheard. 'Yes, I think you might be right,' said Hazel.
'The question is, how?' Pistachio twitched his whiskers in ponder.
Snuggles from Falafel, Labneh, Cashew and Cumin.
Dakota & Iowa Railroad's first rerouted train, running under F-SIOSFA, heads down the Corson Subdivision into Sioux Falls on 7/17/24. BNSF has supplied PTC-equipped power to lead their trains, while the D&I supplies their own qualified crews to run the route.
Part of my ongoing "Black Forest Waterfalls" series
The waterfalls of Allerheiligen ("All Hallows") have a total height of 83 m over seven steps and are located deep in the Black Forest, not far away from the famous monastery with the same name. Even though they are now among the top visited waterfalls, they were not accessible for centuries because of their location in a deep, narrow canyon. The stairs depicted here were first constructed in 1840.

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.
