For 121 Pictures in 2021 #47 "Illustrate a book title" these are serrano and Thai chiles, both red and green to go on the cover of "The Devil's Dinner, a gastronomic and cultural history of chili peppers" by Stuart Walton. I should note that his use of "chili peppers is incorrect, anything referring to the plant or the pod itself should be spelled chile. The term chili should be only used to refer to a stew making use of chiles. This was borne out by extensive research on the internet, where, as we all know, everything is correct.
Yueh Hai Ching Temple is a Chinese temple in Singapore.
The current structure of this shrine dates back to 1850 and was substantially renovated in 1895. Since then, it has undergone several restorations.
The temple exemplifies a Taoist temple in traditional Chinese architecture.
The roofs of the temple feature highly unusual ornaments, consisting of intricate arrangements of one- and two-story mini-structures and human figurines. These elements are arranged to depict clusters of buildings within a Chinese town.
In this temple, not only is the ridge densely adorned with dragons and miniature models of dwellings, but the copings, gable ends, and hips are also embellished with various structures, including pagodas, sheds, dwellings, and niches. Human figurines are displayed throughout, depicting scenes from Chinese operas that illustrate the courageous and meritorious deeds of gods and ancient heroes from Chinese legend.

Our ”We’re Here!” theme today is Photographic terms illustrated. I enjoy shooting into the sun to see what kind of crazy lens flare and starburst effects I can get.
These are the days by the sparkling river...

Thanks for the comments, faves and visits
This captivating image showcases the breathtaking beauty of autumn in a residential area of San Jose, California. The photograph captures a tree-lined street where nature's artistry is on full display, creating a stunning tunnel of fall colors.
Majestic trees flank both sides of the street, their branches reaching across to form a natural archway. The foliage is a vibrant mix of russet, gold, and lingering green, illustrating the gradual transition of seasons. The interplay of sunlight filtering through the leaves creates a warm, dappled effect on the street below.
The road itself stretches invitingly into the distance, its vanishing point drawing the eye towards modest suburban homes barely visible through the autumnal curtain. Parked cars line both sides of the street, their presence a reminder of the lived-in nature of this picturesque neighborhood.
The scene is bathed in the golden light of late afternoon, enhancing the rich autumn palette and casting long shadows that add depth and texture to the composition. This lighting perfectly accentuates the seasonal transformation, making each leaf seem to glow with inner warmth.
This image encapsulates the unique charm of San Jose's residential areas, where the beauty of nature harmoniously coexists with urban living. It serves as a testament to the city's commitment to maintaining a green canopy, providing residents with a daily dose of natural splendor right outside their doors.
The photograph invites viewers to imagine themselves strolling down this enchanting street, perhaps hearing the crunch of fallen leaves underfoot, and breathing in the crisp autumn air. It's a serene snapshot of suburban life in Silicon Valley, reminding us of the simple yet profound beauty that each changing season brings to our everyday surroundings.
The vagaries of the weather at the remote treeless Blea Moor in the Yorkshire Dales is a constant challenge for those of us intent on photographing trains on the Settle and Carlisle line. The ever changing weather and light can be intensely frustrating but also extremely rewarding. One minute the landscape can be bathed in sunlight followed literally seconds later by shadow with moving clouds associated with frontal systems. This is well illustrated in this upload of an early evening train crossing Batty Moss (Ribblehead) Viaduct, in a window of sunshine whilst the rest of the landscape is in shadow. Details; 66725 working the Doncaster Royal Mail Terml to New Biggin (Gbrf) containerised gypsum, crosses Batty Moss (Ribblehead) Viaduct as it heads north across Blea Moor.
Same alley as before from the other side of Center Street. Again it was the sun that caught my eye here and resulted in the click of the shutter.

This photo illustrates what direct sunlight does to the colors shown in the previous image. Taken later in the afternoon, this photo lets viewers see how the browns become predominant and the turquoise and red shades, while still there, appear subdued in the overall presentation.
Something about shady light really brings out the chromatic range in Chinle images. I've seen this at other sites, too. Chinle photographers will want to take into account the differences that shade, cloud cover, and sun angle can make.
Although this portion of the site near the mesa is predominantly brown, farther out under the brown layer there is a thick layer that is a brilliant red. None of this is visible from the nearest road (a rough 4x4 track). After driving the rutty dirt road for over a mile, you have to walk up a small hill to look out over the vast spread of color below. This Chinle outcrop is about a mile wide and 10 miles long.

Freightliner liveried Class 66 No 66618 'Railways Illustrated' climbs away from Retford with the early running 11.35 West Burton PS - Tunstead Sidings empty limestone working.
The train had worked in to West Burton earlier in the morning with a full load of limestone.
A pair of CSX AC motors lead by SD70AC #4716 is getting underway from Grand Rapids with Toledo-bound freight Q334 in tow. The train has just passed under the old Pere Marquette cantilever at Godfrey Ave, which would stand here for a few more years before being reitred. Q334 was usually always a very large and heavy train, largely thanks to the vast amount of casting sand off of the Michigan Shore. The large cut of 2 bay hoppers on the head end illustrates this well.

An attempt to illustrate two related definitions, from the 1913 Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. (Yes, there is an Easy Street in Aiken, SC!) The next photo on this photostream served as the background for this poster.
Holiness, it said, is the state or quality of being holy; perfect moral integrity or purity, freedom from sin; sanctity; innocence, and the state of being hallowed, or consecrated to God.
Sanctification is being made holy, or set apart.
We can't achieve perfection in this life -- we will make mistakes -- except that we can have perfect motives, God helping us.
Thanks for looking!
Illustrated Dream series. Continued experiments with a focus on dream-like, somewhat surreal images. Custom background and effects.
Illustrates my words:
You came to me this evening
In the shadow of a kiss
I thought that I had lost you
To the early morning mist
You took a humble helping
While I took all I could get
You took my heart and hid it
In the valley of regret
I trembled in your branches
Like a newly opened leaf
I was a shipwrecked sailor
That was waiting for relief
Who sacrificed his body
To the ocean in your debt
And took his final breath inside
The valley of regret
Eclipsed by lust, we reveled in
The irony of youth
I took to magic mirrors
That did not reflect the truth
You took to making altars
To a secret statuette
Who ever would have thought
we’d find the valley of regret?
You damaged me with rainbows.
I ravaged you with rain.
I thought the only way to love
Was through a path of pain
We sang our sappy love songs
As our summer sun was set
Then burnt our angry torches
In the valley of regret
I’m fighting on the battle lines
I’m giving it my best
I probably will die here
But at least I took the test
I’m raging for the glory
And I’m running for the sweat
I’m taking all my chances
In the valley of regret.
**Hope you guys aren't getting too tired of these poem illustrations. As you've probably guessed, I'm trying to assemble a collection, and poems are a really good source of inspiration for me. More outdoor shoots on their way! Before and after available on my blog**
122 Pictures in 2022 #46 "Illustrate a scene from a book"
ANSH #11 "Man made"
This illustrates almost any scene from any James Bond book (the original ones by Ian Flemming), but I had in mind for this the book "Casino Royale", which has several scenes with 007 playing Baccarat, vodka martini in hand. For the ANSH theme, everything in here except the olives are man made, and even they have been processed to remove the pit.
