MYANMAR, Burma - Mandalay-Amarapura auf, unter und neben der U-Bein-Brücke.
Die U-Bein-Brücke ist ein Fußgängerübergang, der den Taungthaman-See in der Nähe von Amarapura in Myanmar quert. Die 1,2 Kilometer lange Brücke wurde um 1850 erbaut und gilt als älteste und längste Teakholz-Brücke der Welt. Der Beginn des Baus fällt in die Zeit, als die Hauptstadt des Königreichs Ava nach Amarapura verlegt wurde.
Den Namen hat die Brücke von Bürgermeister U Bein, der ihren Bau in Auftrag gab.[ Die Brücke ist auch in der heutigen Zeit eine wichtige Verbindung für die lokale Bevölkerung. Da sie von vielen Touristen besucht wird, versuchen Souvenir-Verkäufer gerne auf und an der Brücke Geschäfte zu machen. Viel Andrang herrscht im Juli und August; dann steht der Seespiegel am höchsten.
Zum Bau der Brücke wurde Holz aus dem ehemaligen Königspalast in Inwa verwendet. Über 1.086 Pfähle wurden in den Seegrund gerammt; einige wurden inzwischen durch Betonpfeiler ersetzt.
The U Bein Bridge is a pedestrian crossing that crosses Taungthaman Lake near Amarapura in Myanmar. The 1.2 km long bridge was built around 1850 and is considered the oldest and longest teak bridge in the world. The beginning of the construction coincides with the transfer of the capital of the Kingdom of Ava to Amarapura.
The bridge was named after Mayor U Bein, who commissioned its construction. [ The bridge is still an important connection for the local population today. Since it is visited by many tourists, souvenir sellers like to try to do business on and around the bridge. There is a lot of rush in July and August; then the lake level is at its highest.
Wood from the former royal palace in Inwa was used to build the bridge. Over 1,086 piles were driven into the lake bed; some have since been replaced by concrete piers.

In the 19th century the flour mills in Vejer were water driven. The best known is located in the Santa Lucía area of Vejer. Windmills were constructed on the ridge which were able to withstand the strong easterly gusts. The four windmills that remain in the San Miguel district on the edge of the village were built in the 1960s and have since been restored.
The Spaulding Grist Mill
South Street, Townsend Harbor, MA
The grinding stones of this mill were driven by a horizontal wheel powered by water from the Squannacook River. The mill processed corn and grain grown by local farmers until it closed in the 1920s. It is currently closed to the public while under repair.
Just the wishful thinking is not enough … but it needs just some positive actions and – who knows – the world could be at our feet …
Wishing you a perfect week-end and that all your dreams come true!!!

The islets are made of multiple natural layers harvested in Lake Titicaca: The base is made of large pallets of floating Totora roots, which are tied together with ropes and covered in multiple layers of totora reeds. These dense roots that the plants develop and interweave form a natural layer called Khili (about one to two meters thick), which are the main flotation and stability devices of the islands. They are anchored with ropes attached to large Eucalyptus poles driven into the bottom of the lake.

Well,nobody has driven this classic for a good long time,but its appeal holds up pretty well.One of the ultimate of barn finds,this 1934ish Dodge Brothers 2 door sedan sits on a forgotten farm well off the highway in northwestern Illinois.Though this picture was taken 2 years ago,the old car remains and is definitely due for a revisit.
The Dodge Brothers started out making bicycles but soon turned to making quality automotive parts.They were given a 10% stake in the Ford Motor Co. which they soon sold to start their own brand of quality cars and trucks.The brothers both died unexpectantly in 1920,and in 1928,their company was sold to Chrysler....

Never seen this mixture of rocks and asphalt in other countries than the Netherlands.
Where it crosses Lake Howell Road. This little dam creates a small waterfall / rapid that's quite pretty. I've driven by it for years and finally stopped to make a photo.

Move back they say. Get more in the picture. You are way too close! I hear it all the time. “There’s no people in your pictures “ my former boss would say. What can you expect from a former high school yearbook photographer? Basically I’m a portrait photographer of inanimate objects. There is never a doubt about what the main subject is. When I encounter an object that seems to be photogenic, I treat it as if I were doing a portrait of the queen of England. Lighting, framing, perspective, etc. must all be considered of course. Call it “in your face photography” if you wish, but please don’t tell me to back up and include more context. This is my style and it is what it is. Perhaps I was ossified by having only an old Minolta film camera with the standard 50 mm. lens to work with for the first forty years of my photographic life. Seeing the world through a nifty fifty! I guess I am not very artistic after all. I never did look good in a beret.
Llandudno Pier, Llandudno, borough of Conwy, North Wales.
Llandudno Pier Coordinates..... 53°19′54″N 3°49′30″W
Llandudno Pier is a Grade II* listed pier in the seaside resort of Llandudno, North Wales. At 2,295 feet (700 m), the pier is the longest in Wales and the fifth longest in England and Wales. In 2005 and 2025, it was voted "Pier of the Year" by the members of the National Piers Society.
At the end of the pier is a deep-water landing stage, completely rebuilt for the third time in 1969, which is used by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for occasional excursions to Douglas, Isle of Man, and for an annual visit of the PS Waverley or the MV Balmoral preserved steamers.
Early wooden pier
The pier had its origins in a much shorter pier of just 242 feet (74 m) built on 16 wooden piles, opened in 1858 by the St George's Harbour and Railway Company, which had just completed its branch line from Llandudno to Conwy via a junction with the Chester and Holyhead Railway near the present Llandudno Junction railway station to which the branch was soon diverted. That short pier was built to protect the rights of its owners to a much more ambitious scheme to build a major port in Llandudno Bay. The pier was severely damaged in the Royal Charter Storm of 25 October 1859,[1] which caused the loss of 223 ships and 800 people in British coastal waters. Although repaired and used for a further 16 years, the pier was too short and could only be used by steam ships at high tide.
ConstructorWalter Macfarlane of Glasgow
Opening date1 August 1877
The new pier was reported to have cost around £30,000 (equivalent to £3,700,000 in 2023) to construct. The first pile was driven by Lord Arthur Hill-Trevor on 16 September 1876, initiating the start of a 10-month construction period.[9] By this time, 110 feet (34 m) of pier had already been completed

I will beat her! I've lost to her before but not this time!
P.S What is it with mean spirited people who love to pick on the soft hearted? I read about here on Flickr and it happens in real life too. Get a life!
For the people that get picked on, I understand; It is disheartening when it happens you feel deflated and shocked but then you fight back by not changing who you are. That is the only way to win or they keep doing it because they're miserable so they want to make you just as miserable. Don't give them the power or satisfaction.
For the sociopaths; If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. The world doesn't need to hear it.

Sorry about the editing, but I was facing the sun for this perspective and it was the only way to solve the burnt out section in post processing. Should I have cloned out the flood light though?
Edit: Image replaced without the floodlight......
I've previously mentioned I must have driven the same route to work some 10,000 times or more....yes, amazing how it stacks up over the decades. But I had four months working from home when Covid lockdown started and have only been back in the office for two months now. And whilst the traffic has been light I've taken the most direct, the boring, route.
Only tonight did I decide to take my more interesting back road route for the first time in over six months and suddenly I saw what I had missed. I decided to pull over and ventured into a muddy field as the sky began to develop in front of me. Actually the sun set was off to my left but I just couldn't ignore this separate bit especially when the train came as thirteen honking geese flew overhead.

As ERA’s blue riband Flying Scotsman event smoothly glides into a second decade of outstanding vintage motoring, timetabling for the 12th edition in 2022 is already at an advanced stage.
Following an enforced absence, the UK’s premier rally designed exclusively for Vintage motorcars returns for 2022 with a Northumberland start. Our route then takes us through the very best scenery and roads that the area has to offer before heading into new territory with an overnight halt at St Andrews. Day 2 sees crews covering some famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ roads as they head into the Cairngorms and a halt in Aviemore. The final day will take a less than direct route to ensure crews are kept busy before arriving at the world famous Gleneagles Hotel for the final control and post event festivities.
Our Route Designers have been busy crafting another first-class journey. This combines scenic Regularities on remote country roads with exciting Special Tests where you can enjoy your fine vintage cars to their full. The competition will be suitable for all levels of experience with three days of exclusive vintage motoring and great camaraderie in prospect.

Found this little dandelion on a walk and just thought to grab an image really quickly! I honestly didn't know dandelions were around in the winter.
Tell me what you think!!
American Oystercatchers appear to be extremely patient parents. This adult was attempting to feed an insect to its chick of just a few days old. Twice the young shorebird tried and failed to keep the bug in its small beak. Each time the adult picked the insect up off the ground and handed it to the baby, showing no signs of frustration. Finally, after the third try this young chick was able to swallow its meal whole. It would have been a beautiful, heartwarming moment if the young chick hadn’t greedily driven its sibling away only moments before, keeping the food for itself. Don’t judge too harshly though. It’s tough out there in the wild and fighting for food, and survival, is something animals must learn at a young age. Fortunately, both Oystercatcher parents share feeding responsibilities and the chicks were well fed.

We've driven by this wreck more times then I care to admit and never stopped to grab a photo. On today's occasion we were on our way back from testing our mettle in the extreme cold at Niagara Falls and finally decided to stop. The ice offered a perspective we hadn't seen before and the sun came out for a few minutes to provide some contrast against the snowy sky we were driving back in to.
I believe the ship is known as La Grande Hermine or alternatively, The Big Weasel - although I'm not sure where the latter came from. Like most grand schemes, there is a colorful history to it and if you're interested, check out the link below.
