an exchange between you and the landscape, in which - however unlikely this may seem - there is a dialogue between the two of you. It is simply courtesy to allow the landscape to speak :-)

Originally called the "Calvert Street Bridge", it was designed by Paul Philippe Cret in a neoclassical style and built in 1935. It was rededicated as the Duke Ellington Bridge following the death of the Washington native and famous band leader in 1974. It is a limestone structure with three graceful 146-foot (45 m) arches. There are four sculptural reliefs on the abutments measuring three feet high by four feet wide. The classical reliefs by Leon Hermant represent the four modes of travel: automobile, train, ship, and plane.
The bridge replaced one built in 1891 by the Rock Creek Railway to carry streetcars. The bridge was a steel trestle bridge with wooden decking, 750 feet (230 m) long and 130 feet (40 m) high. To avoid streetcar service disruption, the old bridge was moved 80 feet (24 m) south during the construction of the new replacement Calvert Street Bridge; however, streetcar service was discontinued before the new bridge opened.

A nationally rare Duke of Burgundy butterfly seen in the masts field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve in Gloucestershire on Thursday afternoon. This was one of four dukes I saw at the site, two in the masts field and another two in the Bill Smyllie field.

it takes a certain make up of human qualities to extract a billionth of a second from eternity and be aware of, see, record and produce any given scene :-)

My cousin Duke is here again for a visit!
He is a German shepherd/Alaskan malamute husky mix, eleven years old, and a big old softy even though he pretends to be gruff with me sometimes.
He was born in northern Canada as a potential sled dog, but Dad's daughter adopted him, which is a good thing for us, and probably him, we like to think.
As soon as we got him today he was anxious to get out for a walk, as he remembers the off-leash fun of the Prescott-Russell Trail, shown here, and some of the tamer side trails we think he can handle.
We stayed out about an hour, which is max for him now, and took it easy most of the way, which means limited running and no ball playing, even for me. Still, he displays a genuine enthusiasm for adventure, and loped around like a much younger dog at times.
We'll probably have him for a few days, so a couple more photos should be upcoming.
Good boy, Duke!

it gives you a real image. I believe photography is about real life. I hate being in the studio and setting things up. To get an image of real life you have to be part of it. You can't be a photographer standing there with a camera. As soon as you do that everyone starts posing or behaving in a different way. The Lomo is perfect for taking pictures without interrupting the flow of life :-)

Frozen Duke - Dawn breaks upon the frosty shoreline of Ullswater with the frozen Duke of Portland boathouse catching the early light as mist rolls down the lake.
The hoar frost on the foreground reeds just hints at what an artic dawn it was; experiencing such ethereal conditions a year ago made waiting around on Ullswater's shore in such Siberian temperatures surprisingly bearable, actually enjoyable to be honest.
Spectacular hoar frost conditions on a fiercely, bitterly cold dawn.

Here is the second capture from Maxie Duke this time looking up the primary escarpment and the waterfall chute itself. If you remember the previous photo... that capture was taken about half way up from what you see here over on the left hand side. Behind me in this capture the waterfall continues downward for quite a while which is really cool. The area I was standing was much more cleared out than my previous visit, and we'll continue down the falls in the next captures. Pictures don't quite do justice to the breadth of this beauty! :) -H3

storms Shap with the "Royal Scot" charter train from Euston to Carlisle on 6th November 2025. This was its first revenue earning run following extensive overhaul. A fabulous sound and sight, shared with a gathering of old friends!
The famous or infamous Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow's Royal Exchange Square replete with the traffic cone on the Duke's statue head which has always sat there since being placed there by late night revellers in the 1980s.
Over the years Glasgow city council did attempt to have the traffic cone removed from the Duke's head but in the face of public opposition the council eventually conceded defeat.
The statue has become a symbol of Glaswegians' playful humour and even a symbol of Glasgow itself.
Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), first Duke of Wellington, is probably most famous for his defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815 at Waterloo.
Apparently, Wellington became known as the Iron Duke after he had to install iron bars or shutters on the ground floor windows of his home, Apsley house in London, to prevent them being broken by bricks thrown by political protesters during a time when Wellington was the serving British prime minister and perceived by many as resistant to social and political reforms.
The Duke of Wellington statue was erected in 1844 after being funded mostly by private donations. It was sculpted by the Italian artist Carlo Marochetti and is a Category A listed sculpture.
A short distance from the statue, in Glasgow's Royal Exchange Square, there is a gastropub known as The Iron Duke.
