Statue of Philip II (part detail)
Not too far from the statue dedicated to his son, Alexander the Great, is the statue of Philip II, king of the Macedonians (359 BC - 336 BC)
Across the White Tower and the building of the Society for Macedonian Studies, the bronze statue, created by the sculptor George Nikolaidis and inaugurated in 1994, stands on a 1.5-meter-high marble base and shows Philip standing upright, with a helmet in the right hand, symbolizing the unity he achieved during the years of his reign.
The statue is known for its detail, trying to represent Philip based on the available historical information about his physiognomy.
The folds of the uniform, the sandals, the veins but also the injury to his eye, something unusual for a statue, are presented impressively to visitors who take a close look.
Thanks for your Visit Views Faves and Comments, have all a Nice Day. 🌞✌

Ottawa Parliament Buildings - 20101028-08
Parliament Hill is a nine-hectare (0.09 km2) site in downtown Ottawa. It is home to Canada’s Parliament Buildings, the seat of the country’s federal government. Parliament Hill’s open grounds — a rarity among national parliaments — provide a place to gather for celebration or protest and are a National Historic Site. An excellent example of the gothic revival architecture style, the Parliament Buildings — Parliament (Centre Block) and two office buildings (East and West blocks) — officially opened on 6 June 1866. The Library of Parliament is the only part of the original Centre Block to have survived a fire in 1916. A Memorial Chamber and Peace Tower were added to the rebuilt Centre Block in honour of fallen First World War soldiers. The Centennial Flame was added to the grounds to mark Canada’s centennial in 1967. (www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/parliament-buil...)

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!
I took this photo shortly after acquiring my first DSLR. I had fumbled my way through using it in Ecuador, basically as an expensive point and shoot, so decided to take a basic photography course at our local college to learn more. One assignment was to visit Parliament Hill and take photos both inside and outside of this important location.

It's very hard to beat a night with broken cloud and a setting sun, reflections everywhere and a warm gentle breeze, doesn't get much better. In your honour is a favourite track by the Foo Fighters.
Warm glow of the late sun reflects off the paddler and anchored boat.
This image runs 'Hot and Cold'
Warm evening light, accentuates the boarder's skin tones and lights up the boat, yet contrasts with the icy blue tones and the snow peaked, Mount Baker background.
Mt Baker also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is an active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. (Wikipedia)
A special thanks to all my Flickr friends and visitors, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.
I would also, like to extend my thanks, to all those who place my images in their beautiful galleries, or use my images for their covers.
Additionally, I am truly humbled to receive so many thoughtful and generous testimonies. I cannot express how deeply touched and honoured I am, to find such caring and beautifully written words left on my behalf.

A Swan, a lovely one.
I may be a bit random in the next couple of weeks and probably won't be around much.
Sorry to my lovely contacts and friends.
!! Y'all commented before I added my description !! ;-p
Gilbert's honeyeater (Melithreptus chloropsis), used to be called the Swan River honeyeater;
so named now honouring John Gilbert's pioneering work as a collector and naturalist in Western Australia.

This photo won the weekly contest on the 200views group (23/9/05). I'm honoured =). Here's the 200views winners blog were all the winning pictures are put. Some damn fine photos in there too.
Added to cream of the crop as a personal favourite.
A driveway south of Okotoks creates some interesting forms as branches reach for the blue polarized sky. The late afternoon light was touching the tops of the branches, brightening their color and drawing additional attention.
In honour of our fallen comrades, here’s a repost of one of my shots from the poppy display at Plymouth Naval War Memorial.

In honour of St. Paddy's Day, here's some green for everyone! Freshly painted NBSR 6408 & 6409 lead EMR 907 past the siding at Bancroft on February 3, 2023, with junk on the headpin followed by a solid stream of intermodal. This was the maiden voyage for the pair of GMs on Irving trackage, and there's talk of even more to come.
Honouring soldiers killed during the Latvian War of Independence (1918–1920), it is considered an important symbol of the freedom, independence, and sovereignty of Latvia.[1] Unveiled in 1935, the 42-metre (138 ft) high monument of granite, travertine, and copper often serves as the focal point of public gatherings and official ceremonies in Riga. Guards of honour are always present and Liberty stands on top holding three stars symbolizing the constitutional districts of Latvia: Vidzeme, Latgale and Courland
Today is my beautiful friend Ali’s birthday. I so wish that I could be celebrating it with her with soup and cake at QPO or sharing a Pumpkin and Fetta pizza at TimeOut, and some photography hi-jinks, but alas that is not to be.
Despite some expert assistance with image selection I couldn’t completely narrow down my choice of image to honour Ali’s birthday so this is one of two images we chose to honour her, both taken with her gorgeous Lensbaby Twist 60 lens she so generously gave me.
Such a kind, generous and beautiful lady, and the best of friends, I think of Ali and miss her so much every day. An inspirational photographer, who has touched many out there in the Flickr community based on messages I have had recently. We were all so lucky to have been moved and inspired by her photos and to have been able to share a part of our lives with her.
The colour yellow is said to represent friendship and joy, both of which Ali brought into our lives in large quantities.
Happy Birthday dear Ali-gator, always in my heart!
“Silence is closer, we’re passing ships in the night” is from “I Sat By The Ocean” by Queens of the Stone Age, have a listen to Ali’s favourite acoustic version www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E4S0XWPMgQ

Château Laurier was named in honour of Sir Wilfrid Laurier who served as the Prime Minister of Canada from 1896 to 1911. This four-star hotel located next to Parliament Hill and the Ottawa Locks with a great view of the Rideau Canal (the longest-skating rink in the world), was inaugurated in 1912. Charles Melville Hays, president of Grand Trunk Railways, commissioned this castle-style hotel in tandem with Ottawa’s downtown Union Station (now temporarily the Senate of Canada building) across the street. The hotel was to be opened on April 26, 1942, but Hays, who was returning to Canada for the hotel opening, perished aboard the RMS Titanic when it sank on April 15, 1912. The Grand Trunk officials held a more modest opening ceremony with Sir Wilfrid Laurier in attendance on June 12th. This landmark hotel was designated a national historic site in 1980. National Capital of Canada
Le Château Laurier a été nommé en l'honneur de Sir Wilfrid Laurier qui a été premier ministre du Canada de 1896 à 1911. Cet hôtel quatre étoiles situé à côté de la Colline du Parlement et des écluses d'Ottawa avec une vue magnifique sur le canal Rideau (la plus longue patinoire du monde), a été inauguré en 1912. Charles Melville Hays, président de Grand Trunk Railways, a commissionné cet hôtel de style château en tandem avec la gare Union du centre-ville d'Ottawa (maintenant temporairement l'édifice du Sénat du Canada) de l'autre côté de la rue. L'hôtel devait ouvrir le 26 avril 1942, mais Hays, qui revenait au Canada pour l'ouverture de l'hôtel, périt à bord du RMS Titanic lorsqu'il coula le 15 avril 1912. Les responsables du Grand Tronk tinrent une cérémonie d'ouverture plus modeste avec Sir Wilfrid Laurier présent le 12 juin. Cet hôtel historique a été désigné lieu historique national en 1980. Capitale nationale du Canada
Dianthus barbatus, the Sweet William, - a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to southern Europe and parts of Asia. It has become a popular ornamental garden plant.
Wild plants produce red flowers with a white base, but colours in cultivars range from white, pink, red, and purple to variegated patterns.
Many legends purport to explain how Sweet William acquired its English common name, but none is verified. It is often said to honour the 18th century Prince William, Duke of Cumberland.
The flowers are edible and may have medicinal properties.
Badge of Honour for multiple blood donations.

A pair of station staff add to the symmetry at Leicester station as DB Cargo 'Shed' 66118 powers through with the 6.15pm Hayes & Harlington Tarmac - Mountsorrell (4M69) discharged aggregate wagons.
I exposed for the platforms to suppress the shadows. The final image is pretty well straight off camera, with the exception of noise reduction and a bit of dodging here and there. Not for everyone.
Just returned from a few days away so I'll be catching up with folk in due course. Comments off for this one, thanks.

We had a local Aston meet today, I'm guessing in honour of the new Bond movie. It wouldn't have been complete without this little beauty. Yes I was drooling (and still am)!
