Son passati già due anni, ma mi pare ieri...
ricordo perfettamente questa foto, la sua costruzione e a chi pensavo di dedicarla, un amico che ama i lampioni e che però da più di un anno non ritorna su Flickr.
Sorry, to me is very difficult to visit people that always only leave a fav without commenting...

I saw this laundry and also the background on the Italian Riviera and made a minimalist study out of it. I published the image on Instagram, where it was one of the most successful posts I ever published. Unfortunately, Instagram suspended my account after I experimented with a follower tracking app. Now the work shall live on here.
For the groups Cosas de casa...Jagged
and Flickr Friday...Leaves
How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colours gleaming in the sun.

Although it's always the same beach, it looks different every evening. An exceptional sunset like the one in March 2019 can always happen, but it is rare. It needs the right cloud structure. At the moment it is too cloudy in the south of Sri Lanka.

Waldohreule (Asio otus) - (northern) long-eared owl
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldohreule
Die Waldohreule (Asio otus) ist eine Vogelart, die zu den Eigentlichen Eulen (Strigidae) gehört. Sie ist eine der häufigsten Eulen in Mitteleuropa.
Aussehen
Die Waldohreule hat mit einer Körperlänge von etwa 36 cm und einer Flügelspannweite von 95 cm etwa die Größe eines Waldkauzes. Sie ist jedoch wesentlich schlanker als der Waldkauz und mit einem Gewicht von 220 bis 280 Gramm (Männchen) bzw. 250 bis 370 Gramm (Weibchen) erheblich leichter. Auffallende, große Federohren kennzeichnen diese Art. Die Federohren haben keine Funktion im Zusammenhang mit der Hörleistung der Eule. Zur Verstärkung der Hörleistung dient vielmehr der bei der Waldohreule auffällige Gesichtsschleier. Die Iris der Waldohreule ist leuchtend orangegelb. Das Gesicht wird durch eine auffällig hervorstehende Stirnbefiederung geteilt. Die Flügel sind relativ schmal. Das Gefieder der Waldohreule ist auf hellbraunem bis ockergelbem Grund schwarzbraun gestrichelt und gefleckt. Die Hand- und Armschwingen sind deutlich dunkel quergebändert. Allgemein überwiegen bei den Weibchen dunkle, rostbraune Farbtöne. Die Männchen sind dagegen in ihrer Grundfärbung etwas heller. Die Färbung des Gefieders dient der Tarnung; ruhende Vögel im Geäst sind kaum zu entdecken. Die Augen werden durch ein oberes und ein unteres Augenlid sowie durch eine Nickhaut, die das Auge bedecken kann, geschützt.
(northern) Long-eared owl
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-eared_owl
The long-eared owl (Asio otus), also known as the northern long-eared owl, is a species of owl which breeds in Europe, Asia, and North America. This species is a part of the larger grouping of owls known as typical owls, family Strigidae, which contains most species of owl. The other grouping of owls are the barn owls, family Tytonidae.
The scientific name is from Latin. The genus name Asio is a type of eared owl, and otus also refers to a small eared owl.
Description
The long-eared owl is a medium-sized owl, 31–40 cm (12–16 in) in length with an 86–100 cm (34–39 in) wingspan and a body mass of 178–435 g (6.3–15.3 oz).[3][4] It has erect blackish ear-tufts, which are positioned in the centre of the head. The ear-tufts are used to make the owl appear larger to other owls while perched. The female is larger in size and darker in colouration than the male. The long-eared owl's brownish feathers are vertically streaked. Tarsus and toes are entirely feathered. Eye disks are also characteristic in this species. However, the eye disks of A. otus are darker in colour or rusty-orange. This nocturnal species is perhaps most easily seen perched in a tree in its daytime roost, sometimes in small groups during the winter months. There are about six thousand long eared owls in the United States, and fifty thousand in the whole world.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Looking close on Friday is piggy bank. It is the perfect theme and the perfect time (our renovations project is just about to start so money is definitely on our minds…) to talk about money and to show you my « human head » piggy bank.
I got this piggy bank for decoration purposes only. I always wanted to have a ceramic human head. The piggy bank part (the head has a hole on the top of the skull) was just a bonus… And so was the phrenology part. I had to google it since I had no idea about what phrenology was (if you want to know more on that subject here is the Wikipedia link : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenology)… This ceramic head, has lots to offer for sure. You can learn some very interesting facts about phrenology AND save some money at the same time ! And of course this is also a cool decorative piece for any type of space (even a garage or a man cave !!). my ceramic head is a great conversations starter for sure !
Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!

An "on location" wrist shot of this vintage handwound Chinese military wrist watch: "Jixing" brand, made by the Jilin Watch Factory (吉林手表厂). In the left background the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry terminal and in the distance the skyline of Hong Kong Island.
The "Jixing" (吉星) brand means roughly "Lucky Star". The 軍用 on the dial means "military use". These watches were issued during the China-Vietnam conflict in 1979 - and also in the "second phase" of this conflict in 1984.
Apart from the different case color this watch is same as the other Jixing watch shown here. And, even if these "Jixing" are certified military watches, one usually expects a more "tactical" look from such timepieces.
