This is a small part of an exhibit at Birmingham Museum.
The artwork was done by Donald Rodney (1961- 1998) and titled as "Land of Milk and Honey II" Rodney was born in Birmingham. He used objects in his work to explore aspects of the human experience. His father migrated to Smethwick from the Carribean in the mid 20th century, in search of a better life in the "Land of Milk and Honey" The Vitrine contains coins and milk. They represent the 'sourced' reality many migrants actually experienced. The material he used will deteriorate and change over time.

Why'd you ever want to leave?
Why'd you go home?
Why, when the view is this good?
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Does the beauty go away if you stay too long?
Does it lose its impact?
What is enough?
How much is too much?
How can I know?
When can I go back?
I want to go back.
I always want to go back.

A very exhilarating experience to raise this Monarch from an egg to an adult and then see her fly away. Please plant milkweed if you can to keep the Monarch population up. It is the host plant for the Monarch and without milkweed, the larva would not be able to develop into a butterfly.
Thank you so much for your visits!

A different experience in every season: Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens are exquisite, tranquil and inspiring all year round. Different footpaths, cycle routes and horse trails will lead you – with or without the aid of a forest ranger – through the beauty of one of the Netherlands' most unique areas of nature. There are no less than 80 fens in this stunning green expanse – pretty impressive, right?
Four seasons
Whether it’s the frozen fairy-tale fens of the winter, the dynamics of nature coming to life in spring, the musical croaking of frogs in the summer, or the explosion of colours in the autumn: Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens are a feast for all the senses.
Spot kingfishers, deer and roe deer, or bear witness to the wide variety of insects and water creatures in the fens and ditches. And after an exhilarating day of activity or sport, head to one of the large terraces to enjoy the peace and quiet and a tasty snack, lunch or dinner.Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens Groot Speijck Visitor Centre has a great terrace, as does Boshuis Venkraai. And both are ideal places to relax and soak up the surroundings.
Another Halloween and another collaboration with Gwyn. As usual, I am asked to do a photograph but with little else given, so I show up and suddenly I am chased by a deranged witch, with a knife!
Such are the moments of SL.
Northern class 150 unit 150104 (partnered with 150138) departs Blackpool South with the 3.16pm to Colne (2N78).
With a scheduled 4 minute turnaround at this terminus, there's barely time for the driver to walk from one end of the train to the other before setting off again. On this day the turnaround was even tighter seeing as arrival from Colne was 2 minutes late.
Blackpool South, with its single platform and evidence of former glories en route, is very much the Cinderella line into this popular northern seaside town. In fact a significant part of the remaining platform has been abandoned to nature, as seen in this shot. By contrast Blackpool North is vibrant, recently electrified, and boasts fast direct services to London Euston. No surprise It also handles the vast majority of passenger arrivals and departures.
I arrived into this station on a sunny Sunday afternoon and walked the two miles or so along the bracing, enjoyable and ever vibrant promenade before waltzing back inland to North Station for the rather faster ride back to Preston.
A bit of a record shot so I'm not expecting a ten from Len. Sure I spotted Madge though.....

Trip around Hestur with Cave Boat and Experience the world's largest sea cave
The island has been settled since Viking times; the old settlement was at Hælur, the southern tip of the island. Due to it being the sunward side of the island, cereal ripened better there than anywhere else on the island. But due to extreme difficulties in landing boats there, the village was abandoned and the current village of Hestur was established.
In 1919 a fishing accident resulted in the deaths of one-third of Hestur's men.
The coastline of the island has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International.

HOI AN.- THU BON RIver
Hoi An no sería lo mismo sin su caudaloso río Thu Bon.
Ciertamente, es una relación de amor y odio, ya que todo lo que le da (y le ha dado) a la ciudad, es capaz de quitárselo de un suspiro en las intensas épocas de lluvias.
El río Thu Bon
Atravesando la ciudad encontramos el río Thu Bon, el cual ha dado forma y ha marcado la vida de los habitantes de Hoi An durante siglos.
Hoy en día, pasear por sus orillas o tomar un café a pie de sus aguas es una de las actividades que no te puedes perder.
Festival de la linterna de luna llena de Hoi An
Aunque Hoi An luce como una postal todas las noches, la Ciudad Antigua es más espectacular durante el Festival de los Faroles mensual, cuando los locales lanzan linternas de papel iluminadas al río para promover la buena salud y la fortuna. Es una visita obligada que vale la pena modificar en su itinerario de Vietnam.
Una de las formas más populares de experimentar el río Thu Bon en Hoi An es en un paseo en bote de 1 o 2 horas. Embárcate en un bote de bambú con un pescador para aprender las técnicas de pesca locales u opta por un crucero corto en un bote moderno hasta la playa de Cua Dai. Si eres un buscador de emociones, girar como loco en un bote de canasta es una experiencia que debes probar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoi An would not be the same without its mighty Thu Bon River.
Certainly, it is a relationship of love and hate, since everything that he gives (and has given) to the city, he is capable of taking away in one breath during the intense rainy seasons.
The Thu Bon River
Crossing the city we find the Thu Bon River, which has shaped and marked the lives of the inhabitants of Hoi An for centuries.
Nowadays, walking along its banks or having a coffee at the foot of its waters is one of the activities that you cannot miss.
Hoi An Full Moon Lantern Festival
Although Hoi An looks postcard-perfect every night, the Ancient City is most spectacular during the monthly Lantern Festival, when locals release illuminated paper lanterns into the river to promote good health and fortune. It is a must-see and worth modifying in your Vietnam itinerary.
One of the most popular ways to experience the Thu Bon River in Hoi An is on a 1-2 hour boat ride. Embark on a bamboo boat with a fisherman to learn local fishing techniques or opt for a short cruise on a modern boat to Cua Dai Beach. If you are a thrill seeker, spinning like crazy in a basket boat is a must-try experience.
Hello dear visitors,
In this exhibition, I invite you to experience the concept of "consciousness" through photographs. Let's discuss and debate the sum of our experiences, feelings, and awareness, and together question our intellectual and emotional processes as we oscillate between boredom and passing the time.
Throughout the flow of photographs, I hope that internal and external stimuli, along with some symbolic elements, will invite you to reflect on what motivates you in your consciousness during a spontaneous day.
I hope you have a pleasant time, keeping in mind the idea that the artist is the embodiment of "consciousness," deeply feeling all the pain of life and returning the surreal universes they create to art lovers through a work of art.

While Graham took Rufus out for his last prom, I took my soft drink outside onto the patio.
As I opened the door, I noticed our Collared Dove was on the table, so slipped back inside for my camera.
I spent about ½hr out there with it, while it had some bird seed and a drink. It didn't mind my camera at all and I began breathing again when it finally flew off!
An honour, privilege and just wow.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Visited a very quite Moraine Lake ("above" Lake Louise). the parking lot at L. Louise was full again so we decided to try our luck at Moraine. No problems parking there. You should have seen it last year, people lining up at the road entrance at 5:00AM to get up to the lake. Like it a bit better this way. ;( though mixed feelings about the reasons !! see date if you remember those times.

Siento la necesidad de desconectar de internet y de todo lo que eso conlleva; de las redes sociales o antisociales, como quieran llamarlas…
Creo que me tomaré ese tiempo (no sé si largo o corto) para conectar conmigo misma.

Without a doubt, the alpinism is an amazing experience with a little bit of adrenaline dose and outstanding landscapes.
This image is taken during the ascent to Island Peak. After a big snowstorm, nobody had come at the summit, because a lot of snow. However, we decided to try. All in all, it was going to be an authentic adventure.
Sin duda alguna el alpinismo es una emocionante experiencia con un toque de adrenalina e impresionantes paisajes.
Esta imagen fue tomada durante el ascenso al Island Peak. Después un gran tormenta de nieve, nadie había conseguido llegar a la cima por la gran cantidad de nieve. No obstante, decidimos intentarlo. Con todo, iba a ser una gran aventura.
