Thousands of people poured into Manchester City Centre on 24th August 2024 for the annual Pride celebrations.
The streets were filled full of colour as the Manchester Pride parade set off from Deansgate. Taking on a 'Buzzin to be Queer Theme' inspired by the hardworking Manchester bee, 17,000 took part in the parade - the biggest ever number of participants according to Pride bosses.
Held each year, the parade takes place from Deansgate towards the Gay Village and sees thousands of people line the streets to take in the positive vibes of the event and to show unity with the LGBTQ+ community.
As usual, this year’s parade saw drag artists, community groups and allies take part, with the likes of Danny Beard, Tia Kofi, Su Pollard, DJ Paulette, Russell T Davies and Charity Shop Sue amongst some of the famous faces taking part.
Amongst the corporations, community groups and clubs taking part in this year’s parade were the Manchester Runners, George House Trust, Aer Lingus, Moxy Manchester, African Rainbow Family, The Proud Trust, Village Manchester Football Club and Heart radio station.
Speaking about the parade, Mark Fletcher, CEO of Manchester Pride, told the Manchester Evening News: “I am overwhelmed by the turnout of the Parade this year - it is the longest parade we have ever had, and that’s an achievement considering what we’ve had in the past. It’s free for all the community groups and LGBTQ+ organisations to take part, and we always encourage them to take part as much as possible. One of the things I always say is how proud I am of our allies who take part in the parade too.”
Adding about the theme to this year’s parade, Mark said: “We wanted to take the worker bee, which represents Manchester, and adopt that almost in a way that charts the progress of how far we’ve come in terms of LGBTQ+ equality as well as the need to ‘buzz’ the progress on a little bit too. That’s why we created the Progress Bee - we’ve used that symbol as a degree of ownership and identity. It’s part of the fabric of what Manchester stands for, and the support that we’ve had and that so many pioneers have stepped out and pushed the movement forward.
“We wanted to chart it as a hive of progress recognising all of those that have gone before us and those who take the bee on today and march for continued progress.”

El embalse de El Atazar es el mayor de la Comunidad de Madrid: con una capacidad de 425,3 hm³, representa el 46% del volumen embalsado de la región. Fue construido en 1972, siendo una de las obras más importantes de la dictadura de Francisco Franco. Es el quinto embalse en el sentido de la corriente que se encuentra el río Lozoya a su paso y pertenece a la red del Canal de Isabel II.

Fleißiger Mann beim Beschneiden seiner Weiden am Wasser - was bei dem sonnigen Wetter schöne Spiegelungen erzeugte.
Looks like this Blackcap is mated up and out collecting for the nest-build early this morning. Spring seems to have only just arrived here.... was like winter two days ago,
Many thanks to those who view, fave and/or comment on some of my images.

I do not like to photograph people because I always have to seek their permission to do so. These two of my neighbors agreed but on condition that I give them those photos. It was a very fun experience. First they posed by leaving their shovels and standing side by side,serious as in church . When I shot them the way they wanted, I showed them the photos and they were pleased. Then I asked them if they allowed me to shoot their tools and they continued to work on making concrete and I was able to shoot them as they worked.
Talking to them, I learned that my neighbors thought I am a weird woman and they call me 'Rambo'. They never know what bush I am hiding behind, passing by they often see me at some strange place, roof, tree or crawling through the grass just like Rambo.
I unsuccessfully explained to them that is a best way to take a good wildlife photos.

Past few days we have done this welding, 12 hours in a day.
It has been really hard for the neck, shoulders and knees, but now its done. What a relief!
Welder in picture is my friend ylli.

Black Swallowtail -ovipositing female- (Papilio polyxenes) Allegany County, Maryland
She never stops moving and fluttering her beautiful wings when she looks for her host plant, touching many and stopping only very briefly to deposit her single egg on the right plant.
Her larvae will only survive and thrive on plants in the parsley and carrot family (Apiaceae). So include parsley, dill, or fennel in your garden and you may be rewarded with her visit and as a bonus you will witness and observe the astonishing life cycle of a butterfly from egg, to larva, to chrysalis and finally the amazing emergence of the beautiful adult.
Two young brothers, ages five and ten years old, work together in fetching water for use by their mother in laundry washing.
They draw the water by using a hand water pump at their neighbor's place and then they carry the water pails by hand to their house. They do this repeatedly until the wash basins and a few large plastic containers are all filled with water.
Captured at a village in Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
They produce excellent Garnacha grapes every year and they are used to make wines at Domaines Lupier, Navarra, Spain. We just tasted them just before harvest.... incredible. And after fermentation... more incredible :-)
While in Nepal for 5 weeks, I got to meet so many wonderful people. I'm amazed at the heavy load this woman carried, and yet she still took time to visit with me. My burdens no longer seem heavy.
Inle Lake in Myanmar is famous for rowers masterfully balancing on one leg. Photos of such hardworking fishermen are plentiful, but most are staged. Of course, there are many "real" fishermen plying Inle Lake with traps in order to bring home the catch to their families. But the 'model' guys have figured out another way to make a few dollars off the lake—posing for tourists for tips. They wear traditional, colorful clothing and perform amazing acrobatic shows; their sense of balance and the strength required to pose is quite remarkable. When they finished their act, I gladly gave a modeling fee to these hard-working men who provide an honest service. Despite the shots being posed, the moment is still magical and does not make the images any less beautiful.
Balancing in the boat's stern and paddling with one foot is a traditional fishing technique dating to the 12th century. Using a leg instead of hands to row allows a fisherman to see submerged obstacles and find a clear route while searching for the tell-tale bubbles of fish shoals.

This guy who I believe to be in his late 60s is a farmer from a neighboring town. When I initially saw him, he was cutting some tall wild grass on a vacant private lot near the junction of the highway and the road leading to the Subic Shipyard.
Out of my curiosity, I later asked him what he is going to do with the grass that he already cut with a long knife and which he is preparing to transport via his motorcycle taxi. He said that he will feed it to his four female cows and that he came to Subic Town because he could not find any of that kind of grass in any areas near his farm.
