Nothing ceremonious...a pile of old timber in a misty morning field. The sunshine barely penetrated the cold atmosphere and the color of the nearly-dead grass gave off an interesting glow.
Although an invasive species (it was purposely brought to Iceland to bind dusty areas adjacent to highways) which may be a problem as its range expands, it sure is pretty.

This pair of lions (Panthera leo) was responsible for the deaths of between 35 and 140 (claims vary) railway construction workers in Kenya between March and December 1898. Hall of African Mammals @Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago IL 9-2-2012. They are both males, male lions in the Tsavo region commonly lack manes and also actively participate in hunting; in other regions, male lions usually do not hunt, but devote themselves to defense of the pride and its territory.
My pictures taken with my silver are finally developed. This is my favorite, because i like the atmosphere and everything was so calm in this field.

November 11th is Rememberance Day here in the UK, where we wear red poppies to remember all the soldiers who gave their lives in the World Wars, so others could remain free.
The red poppy became a symbol because the battlefields of Northern France were covered in the wildflower during the First World War.
The island of Ven outside Skåne in southern Sweden.
A fantastic place to visit.
It's the third time now that I have found an old 35mm film laying around in a drawer. This one must be about eight years old and whas shot around the summer of 2005. Probably some of my last pictures with my Olympus Mju-II before buying a digital camera.

A slightly different perspective and framing suggestion to the one of this field I posted a few days ago. Come to think of it, it was quite a while ago. Which do you like better?
This one? Or this one?
officially the Republic of Iceland, is a Nordic island country situated at the confluence of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The country has a population of about 320,000 and a total area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi), which makes it the most sparsely populated country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Reykjavík, with the surrounding areas in the southwestern region of the country being home to two-thirds of the country's population. Reykjavik is the most northern capital in the world. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior consists mainly of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle.
According to Landnámabók, the settlement of Iceland began in AD 874 when the chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first permanent Norse settler on the island. Others had visited the island earlier and stayed over winter. Over the following centuries, Norsemen settled Iceland, bringing with them thralls of Gaelic origin. From 1262 to 1918, Iceland was part of the Norwegian and later the Danish monarchies. The country became independent in 1918 and a republic was declared in 1944. Until the 20th century, the Icelandic population relied largely on fishing and agriculture, and the country was one of the poorest and least developed in the world. Industrialisation of the fisheries and aid from the Marshall Plan brought prosperity in the years after World War II, and by the 1990s, Iceland became one of the wealthiest and most developed nations in the world. In 1994, Iceland became party to the European Economic Area, which made it possible for the economy to diversify into economic and financial services.
Iceland has a free-market economy with relatively low corporate taxes compared to other OECD countries, while maintaining a Nordic welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens. In 2013, it was ranked as the 13th most developed country in the world by the United Nations' Human Development Index. In 2008, the nation's entire banking system systemically failed, resulting in substantial political unrest. In the wake of the crisis, Iceland instituted "capital controls" that made it impossible for many foreigners to get their money out of the country. Though designed to be temporary, the controls remain and are among the biggest hurdles for regaining international interest in the Icelandic economy. Iceland ranks high in economic and political stability, though it is still in the process of recovering from the crisis. Gender equality is highly valued in Iceland. In the Global Gender Gap Report 2012, Iceland holds the top spot, closely followed by Finland, Norway and Sweden.
Icelandic culture is founded upon the nation's Norse heritage. Most Icelanders are descendants of Norse and Gaelic settlers. Icelandic, a North Germanic language, is descended from Old Norse and is closely related to Faroese and some West Norwegian dialects. The country's cultural heritage includes traditional Icelandic cuisine, poetry, and the medieval Icelanders' sagas. Among NATO members, Iceland has the smallest population and is the only one with no standing army but a lightly armed Coast Guard in charge of its defences.

11 Nov. Veteran's Day in America, the day the war to end all wars ended - too bad they did not end. Sunday chapel plays Sarah McLachlan . "In the Arms of Angels". Two versions: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC0hqXxBmXM (heroic version); and www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UG5YoHcCAY (maudlin and soulful)
We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.
Luciano De Crescenzo
Believers, look up - take courage. The angels are nearer than you think.
Billy Graham
The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.
