Taken for Saturday Self Challenge 19/03/2022 - Decorative .
First thought for this was the upper window in a big posh house , however , Jan did mention railways and they are always good for some embellishment on the older architecture . Here on this station the pillar supports to the station canopy are functional but on the load spreading supports at the top are quite decorative . I first tried a compressed view on platform two but not happy as I clipped the top a bit too tight plus a gutter got in the way from whichever end I took the shot . Platform one one the other hand presented a clear shot of the whole line of pillars with their elaborate top sections .
Also in shot is a passenger waiting on a seat , not sure about how he looks , but then this is the London platform - not a place to look forward to visiting as far as I am concerned .

Paddy Freeman’s Park is one of the most quietly historic landscapes in Newcastle — a place where an 18th‑century farm, Victorian leisure culture, and 20th‑century civic planning all meet. What makes it distinctive is that it is not simply “a park in Heaton”: it is a surviving fragment of the old Freeman family estate, later absorbed into the Ouseburn valley’s chain of green spaces.
The story begins in 1795, when Patrick “Paddy” Freeman operated a farm and mill on the land that now forms the park. The Freeman family farmed the area for generations, and by the 1860s the name “Paddy Freeman’s” had become attached to the site.
This early landscape was rural and functional: fields, a mill, and the beginnings of the wooded valley that would later become part of Jesmond Dene. The Ouseburn’s water power made the area attractive for milling, and the Freeman family’s presence shaped the identity of Heaton long before urban expansion reached it.
As Newcastle expanded eastwards, the Freeman land gradually shifted from agriculture to recreation. By the late 19th century, the area was being incorporated into the city’s emerging network of parks along the Ouseburn valley — a deliberate civic strategy to create green corridors linking Jesmond Dene, Armstrong Park, Heaton Park, and later Paddy Freeman’s Park.
The park’s lake became its defining feature. Originally a mill pond, it was reshaped for leisure use, eventually becoming home to one of the most unusual and enduring clubs in Newcastle’s recreational history.
By the mid‑20th century, Paddy Freeman’s Park had become formally recognised as part of Newcastle’s Ouseburn parks, a chain of green spaces stretching from Jesmond Dene to Heaton. The park developed:
Woodland plantations and shrubbery
Playing fields and open grass areas
A bowling green, tennis courts, and later a football pitch
A pavilion and park keeper’s lodge
Children’s play areas for different age groups
These features reflect the 20th‑century shift toward multi‑use urban parks designed for families, sport, and informal recreation.
The park’s connection to Jesmond Dene is especially important: it forms the eastern gateway into the Dene’s wooded valley, creating a seamless landscape of water, trees, and walking paths.
A can of beer, the buttons and the circuit from an old telephone and some minor interventions in the body of the box (wiring) and ... voila! A fully functional phone!
This picnic table is made with steel reinforced concrete, and the wear and tear of the weather and use has taken its toll. But still functional in a way. God love it <3

A modern meeting room is anchored by a large, functional table with a sleek surface and clean lines, designed to support collaboration and presentations with ease. Slimline chairs surround the table, featuring refined profiles and ergonomic shapes that keep the space feeling open and uncluttered. Elegant lighting—such as suspended linear fixtures provide balanced illumination while adding a subtle architectural statement. At one end of the room, a large tripod-mounted screen serves as a focal point for meetings and presentations, blending practicality with a contemporary aesthetic. The overall atmosphere is polished, professional, and purpose-driven, with a calm, modern edge.

a view of the 'Böhme' river in the autumn. As I was with tripod on tour, I could test the HDR functionality.
Functionally, it's not much of a fence--I don't think it can exclude or confine anything. But it is one of my favorites.
Photographed in Big Blue Creek, in western Colorado.

we don't necessarily realize the complexity or even the time spent behind a piece of jewelry. 😉
For this realistic full-mesh watch, where even the gears are functional, some 50 hours of work were required.
Just the scripts, the new HUD and animation 20 hours of work .
You can't make jewelry like this without passion.💗
Thank you for everything, thank you for being there for me as I'm doing all this on my own. 😘😍
PURE PLAY, inspired by the setting sun. There is hardly any practical functionality in this behaviour of wild geese. The end of the first March day this year.
Took my old E-M1 gen.1 with me, with stills on my mind. The camera has poor video, but the scene was irresistible.
Wild geese make a distinct sound and have a demeanour which is not always the same. I often hear them at night, when they fly in small groups low above my flat 25 m high. Then it's more like navigating, a kind of sound radar. Or encouraging each other. Yesterday evening (5 March, not this recording) I was late coming back from the river shore, and the geese had been conspicuously calm for an hour... when I was at the middle of that big field populated by them, it was almost completely dark already. Camera already packed in my bag. Then something like exploded. The whole flock of around thousand or more wild geese put up a play for me. They suddenly burst into flight from the field on my right hand side and flew right over my head to the other half of the field where they all majestically landed. It was a sound of the thunder, all those huge wings flapping above me and the geese honking and calling. Like ƒƒƒ tutti of a large symphony orchestra. There were many many more birds than could fit in my lens even if I had the camera ready and small µ4/3 sensor somehow probing the dark. –Maybe I should take a sound recorder with me the next time... :)))
The occurrence on March 5th (not the modest one filmed here) brings me to my photographic Murphy's law: My greatest pics and videos are the ones I did not take. That's a rule that's haunting me for years and decades; my whole life actually. Like that one in the caption, just four days after this recorded clip. Please read the paragraph above, it does not pertain to the video clip above. Somehow, the birds always wait just enough —5 or 15 minutes after the sunset— for the light to fade out and then they appear in majestic formations and formidable numbers, to perform their low passes, big turns, amplified rhythmic calls, terrific landings and what not. Exactly that fraction too late when I can NOT film them any more with my modest µ4/3 gear, but can still observe the spectacle. No, they don't do it to spite me; it's just to keep their worthiest artistry beyond our proud-spirited set of captured things. It's rewarding enough to witness them. I am humbled and remain with my reoccurring phenomenon. Birds appearing just before sunrise or just after sunset with the regularity of Newton's physical laws.
Similar with the people :)
P. S. Contemplating the purchase of the G9 Mark II ever since... Now you know it's not the GAS (gear acquisition syndrome), but the GIS (gees inspired syndrome).

I didn't have a micro-bike, so I quickly made one, out of wire scraps.
One could argue that the bike isn't fully functional, but you can't deny the weight is down to a bare minimum...

In September 2015, I was scouting out and photographing numerous sites around Lake Tahoe, California and many sites in the Eastern Sierras for a short 5 days.
One the night of September 17, I took the Bonsai Rock Milky Way shot with the moon just above the distant mountain peaks.
The next day we moved down into the Eastern Sierras where I had been planning to photograph the iconic bristlecone pine tree with the Milky Way. Little did I know on the way down how well the moon would come into play with my night sky photography work there.
I used a long established technique to get the moon rays in this shoot while I light painted the bristlecone pine tree with my special light.
In 2017, I will have two 5 day Milky Way photography workshop in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah, one over the 3rd week in March and one over the 3rd week in April.
During each of the two workshops, I will conduct 3 4+ hour Milky Way Photoshop post processing session where I teach all the techniques I used to create this final photo but this time it will be more of what is called a "Deep Dive" PS post processing session and workshop participants will need a laptop with Photoshop CS 2017. Lightroom will work but lacks some functionality used in what I will teach.

My Milky Way night sky photography workshops
In 2017, I will be leading two 4 day photography workshops in Jackson Hole. During both workshops, I will take my group out for 3 nights of my Milky Way night sky workshop.
My 2017 4-5 day photography workshop schedule:
ANP, Canyonlands & Monument Valley - March 24-29
Icons of the Southwest w/Ryan Smith - April 23-28
Jackson Hole, Wyoming spring - June 21-25
Jackson Hole, Wyoming fall - September 19-23
The great part is that in 2017 I will return to Jackson Hole for the incredible wildflowers throughout the valley and the surrounding mountains.

A picture of a watch without anything else is at worst an image of someone else’s art and at best can be a showcase for the photographer’s expertise at exposure and composition. This image has more meaning to me than you may grasp at first glance so I’ll complete the story here. SPOILER ALERT: It’s a bit long so if you’d like to skip it ... that’s Okay. Just remember to enjoy Today.
The title may attract the attention of a few people already familiar with the acronym. More later ... I purchased the timepiece pictured some 50 or more years ago and it has always been a disappointment ... it still looks almost pristine! It’s promise was that it was self-winding, that is by some engineering magic once it was wound and put on my wrist it somehow was supposed to stay wound enough to keep “good time”. Well, here’s the basic truth; if I wind it up and let it lay on the shelf it will keep perfect time until it runs down in a couple of days. If put it on my wrist it will randomly stop for 5 or 10 minutes at a time from the first hour on ... making it functionally useless!
In the mid-80s after a life changing event I learned that I can only live One Day at a Time (ODaaT). I realized this independent worthless timepiece is in fact a constant reminder that I only have today ... yesterday is history and tomorrow is not yet in play.
It has no other numbers than today’s calendar number and day ... today ... if I keep it wound. My every attempt to use it for my purposes by wearing it ... my actions ... screws up it’s basic time keeping function so if I let go and let it do it’s thing on the shelf all works just fine. I’m some 16 years into retirement and I removed my “working” watch the day I retired ... I know where time is being kept and I can freely live TODAY. If you got this far Happy Macro Monday ... and enjoy today. HMM Everyone.

Check out The Miller's Bakery on Lego Ideas!
Welcome to the Miller's Bakery - where the bread, buns and sweets smell so delicious that even the clouds look like cinnamon rolls. The heavenly taste of these fine pastries is the result of generations of experience, fresh ingredients and perfect craftsmanship. Come in and you may never leave - for you will desire no other taste again!
The Miller's bakery is a traditional wind mill that has been restored and extended by a small bakery hut where the pastries are being sold fresh out of the oven. It is a 3-storied building packed with lovely play features such as a functional grinder that is driven by the wind mill, a cereal delivery terminal, a cereal elevator and a fully rotatable dome on top of the mill. Both the little bakery hut and the back of the mill are easily detachable to access these features. The model contains all the details required to teach you how the wheat is being separated from the chaff and then being ground into flour.
This project has been keeping me busy for about 2 months. It consists of 2998 pieces and is about 44cm tall, 47cm wide and 33cm long.
I hope you enjoy the model. If so, feel free to take a closer look at The Miller's Bakery on Lego Ideas and vote for it! You are also welcome to share the idea and help make this beautiful project become a real set one day!
