Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I used to see his brilliant work at a higher rank, if not the highest, in explore. He was really good at photography and he maintained a very good taste.
I had interactions with many of his work, to which he was very appreciative and uniquely reciprocative.
About three months ago, I noticed that he’s not around! I checked on his page and knew that he wasn’t feeling well. So, I dropped a note on the last work he posted, wished him a quick recovery and told him that I look forward to see him back soon on Flickr.
Yesterday, I saw that post by John B. with the sad news!
I personally feel that Keith is a great loss to many, including Flickr community, and from here, I’m dedicating this post to extend my sincere condolences to his family, friends and everyone in his circle. RIP, my friend!
Apparently it was Laura's birthday when I had such a great morning on the beach, so this is a belated Happy Birthday to
Laura. She's been such a great friend and inspiration, so In your honour , by Foo Fighters is obvious.
In honour of my RL Childhood sweetheart, Husband, Father of my children, Love of my Life - the anniversary of his death yesterday - could not bring myself to post this until now- taken at 36years of age all those years ago.
RIP My Darling

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.

‘The Korowai is a traditional woven Maori cloak. The Korowai is worn as mantle of prestige and honour. The name Korowai is symbolic of leadership, and includes the obligation to care for the people and environment.’
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.

Sculpture: Fire Man / Vuurvreter
Material: Bronze and firefighting equipment
Location: Near the entrance of the fire station, Oostende, Belgium

Which material is better suited to make a work of art for the fire station than fire hoses, Ostend sculptor Josiane Vanhoutte must have thought.
Commissioned by the state of Ostend, she made this creation in honour of the Fire Rescue Service, who bravely defies the fiercest flames.
The statue was unveiled on 19 October 1998 together with the commissioning of the new fire station.

Read and see on her website:
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.
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.
Kojori Fortress was built atop Azeuli Mountain, at a height of 1,250 metres above sea level. According to historians, the fortress was constructed sometime during the 11th century. Built in multiple layers atop the cliffs, this fortress once protected the caravan road connecting Tbilisi to Armenia, and was of immense strategic importance during the Middle Ages.
Korjoli Fortress was built of crushed stone and brick, and was plastered with thick mortar. Today, only the ruins of the walls and two of its towers remain, but these ruins speak to numerous battles and sieges over the centuries. The ruins afford visitors a beautiful view of Kartli’s wide-open spaces.
The last battle to take place at Kojori Fortress took place in 1921, when the 11th Army of the Russian Red Army faced Georgian cadets. A memorial in honour of these fallen cadets stands there today.
In addition to its historical value, Kojori is also a spectacular place for relaxing in nature, having a picnic, and doing a little light hiking in the nearby forest. This region, once the summer residence of kings, is today open to the public to enjoy.
The bridge was named to honour the memory of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (known as Anzacs) who served in World War I. An Australian Flag flies atop the eastern pylon and a New Zealand Flag flies atop the western pylon. A bronze memorial statue of an Australian Anzac soldier stands on the western end of the bridge. Opposite him, a statue of a New Zealand soldier stands facing towards the east.
I took this photo looking up from the pedestrian walkway on the eastern side of the bridge.

La Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Las Angustias (Chapel of Our Lady of Anguish) was built in 1720 by the Lopez de Alcantara family who funded the chapel until handing it over the the village of Nerja and the Cathedral of Malaga once it became impossible for them to financially support. Bernarda Maria Alferez and her son built the church in honour of the Virgen de las Angustias who also acts as the Patroness of Granada, the city from which the family originated.

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.

This fantastic pair of earrings was brought back from Australia for me by a dear friend who toured over there back in the nineties.
They are Aboriginal, and painted in the traditional manner. Each dot is carefully and beautifully placed. I suspect each dot, bar and colour means something. I like to think that they carry ancestral joy. I have always felt a sense of contentment when I wear them.

This morning's amazing light show honouring the victims and heroes of 9/11. Watching the Aurora Borealis never gets old for me. I can't help but say "WOW!!" everytime I see the northern sky pulsing with waves of light. This latest one was at a storm level of 6.67 Kp and lasted for a couple of hours into dawn.

In honour of International Cat Day, reposting one of my favourite photos of my Junior cat Marley. (Note: reposted from my other Flickr account “Cattitude”.
Initiated in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, “International Cat Day” or “World Cat Day” is a celebration which takes place August 8, every year. Observed to raise awareness in protecting our adorable feline friends, the day celebrates our adoration and love for them as they make our life a little bit more special.
Honouring St Thomas More...Stephen B Whatley returned to the Tower Hill Walkway that leads to the Tower of London this month; giving a tour to Brendan Gilligan, the editor of Catholic Life magazine which in its September issue publishes a 6-page interview - plus cover - feature on the artist's career- and faith.
The portrait of St Thomas More is one of the series of 30 paintings that relate the history of the Tower, commisioned from Stephen B Whatley in 2000; all reproduced here on steel vitreous enamel panels as a permanent public exhibit - first open in 2001.
To view the portrait of Sir Thomas More in its entirety please click the link:

To see Stephen's iconic tribute to St Thomas More:
During Duxford's Battle of Britain Airshow, a two minute silence was observed in honour of our late Queen Elizabeth II
Breaking that silence was down to the wonderful 'NHS' Supermarine Spitfire PR Mk.XI, flown superbly by John Romain
A fitting and moving tribute
