A wise man was once asked why the sky is clearer than the land; he smiled & said: because no humans live there!(Arabic proverb)
Jerash is the capital and the largest city of Jerash Governorate, Jordan, with a population of 50,745 as of 2015. Located 48 kilometres (30 mi) north of the capital of Jordan, Amman.
The history of the city is a blend of the Greco-Roman world of the Mediterranean Basin and the ancient traditions of the Arab Orient. The name of the city reflects this interaction. The earliest Arab/Semitic inhabitants, who lived in the area during the pre-classical period of the 1st millennium BCE, named their village Garshu. The Romans later Hellenized the former Arabic name of Garshu into Gerasa. Later, the name transformed into the Arabic Jerash.
The city flourished until the mid-eighth century CE, when the 749 Galilee earthquake destroyed large parts of it, while subsequent earthquakes (847 Damascus earthquake) contributed to additional destruction. However, In the early 12th century, by the year 1120, Zahir ad-Din Toghtekin, atabeg of Damascus ordered a garrison of forty men stationed in Jerash to convert the Temple of Artemis into a fortress. It was captured in 1121 by Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem, and utterly destroyed.
Jerash was then deserted until it reappeared in the Ottoman tax registers in the 16th century. It had a population of 12 households in 1596. However, the archaeologists have found a small Mamluk hamlet in the Northwest Quarter which indicates that Jerash was resettled before the Ottoman era. The excavations conducted since 2011 have shed light on the Middle Islamic period as recent discoveries have uncovered a large concentration of Middle Islamic/Mamluk structures and pottery.
In 1806, the German traveler, Ulrich Jasper Seetzen, came across and wrote about the ruins he recognized. In 1885, the Ottoman authorities directed the Circassian immigrants who were mainly of peasant stock to settle in Jerash, and distributed arable land among them.
The ancient city has been gradually revealed through a series of excavations which commenced in 1925, and continue to this day.
With a billiard table, cues and balls in four colors, a nod to Calder’s bold palette, Untitled 2021 (le jeu de l’araignée rouge) is a typical example of Rirkrit Tiravanija’s work. Here, the player’s successive advances with the billiard’s cue alter the mutual relationships of the balls. During the game, viewers experience the work for themselves and, at the same time, change it for spectators. Tiravanija believes that art should not just be looked at but also experienced by socially inhabiting and activating it. The artist wants to minimize the boundaries between art and life whenever possible. He turns the spectators, whether or not they realize it, into a main feature of the artwork.
Rirkrit Tiravanija and Calder
There are myriad connections between the work of Tiravanija and Calder. For instance, a number of Calder’s sculptures (…) require activation in order for the viewer to achieve the full experience. Tiravanija’s work contains the same unfinished quality that characterizes Calder’s radical oeuvre.
Sounds and noises are also common denominators in the works of both Calder and Tiravanija. Some of Calder’s mobiles are sonorous: they make noises that could never be programmable; chance determines the experience and sounds of the work. Everything depends on conditions of the space, air currents and people’s movements. The same applies to Tiravanija’s works: the sounds they make are subject to the different configurations and the collisions of the billiard balls.
For both artists, the spectator is key and elements of chance are crucial. ”To most people who look at a mobile, it’s no more than a series of flat objects that move. To a few, though, it may be poetry” (Alexander Calder, 1957)

I went to the fair on Thursday night with a couple things on my mind. One was getting the movement of the rides/lights and the other was getting in some street/people photography. There wasn't as many people there as i had wished but then again I was not fighting the crowds. I kept standing by this vender cart trying to get the shot I wanted, as the girl was on to me and my photo taking. But I stuck around as I liked the light and the elements of what was going to be in the shot.
I am really starting to enjoy this type of photography as there is so much to learn about street photography and I know I need to get better at it, That's the fun of it, try, try, try.
It’s not recommended to touch wild animals but in this case we had to rescue the little guy from the cat… and make sure he would take off flying again.
Tourists and locals:
It can be all too easy to go from tourist to victim.
Take care, be sensible and don't advertise wealth. Not advertising wealth may seem odd to some of us, but remember there are many who can't even dream of a foreign holiday.
Organised gangs operate in some areas; so don't wear that new "Rolex" for a stroll down the "wild side of town".
At the point of life threatening conflict, just give them what they want. They assume you are covered by holiday insurance and you probably are (medical cover may be no consolation if you end up in a hospital bed for your holiday).

Daily visitors at this lovely beach approaching the water using the safety roap,
After I took the shot the front lady was happy to chat and told me she felt as if this beach was like a second home for her.

On an early Easter Monday bank holiday morning, I set off towards Bradgate Park under a biting wind, with my car showing just 4°C. Despite the cold, the land was clearly awakening with spring, quietly signaling renewal in every detail.
As I stepped into the park under the soft morning light, there was a rare stillness—no people, just nature beginning its day. Instead of the usual robin, I was greeted by a Eurasian chaffinch foraging on the ground. Around me, small birds were busily flying back and forth, carrying nesting materials in their beaks into tree hollows.
Continuing my walk, I noticed a group of fallow deer on my right. Among them, a young deer fixed its curious gaze on me, and I believe I captured that exact moment of connection in a single frame. Between us flowed the River Lin, its subtle elevation difference and fresh greenery adding depth to the scene.
As I observed the group, something remarkable caught my attention in the distance. Eurasian jackdaw were landing on the deer, pulling out loose fur and flying off to line their nests in ancient tree hollows. This interaction seemed less about parasite removal and more about building soft nesting material.
I waited patiently as the light shifted and the sun rose higher, creating a beautiful backlit background. Finally, the moment came—a female deer allowing a jackdaw to pull fur from her back. I captured this frame at ISO 4000 and 1/1250 sec.
It’s also worth noting that the deer are currently shedding their winter coats, which the jackdaws are clearly taking advantage of. Interestingly, not all deer tolerated this behavior—some females resisted, perhaps due to discomfort.
Nature’s balance and these subtle interactions continue to fascinate me, often leading me to reflect more deeply on the connections within the wild.
I hope this story adds another layer to the image and helps convey the moment beyond the frame.
Wishing you all a peaceful and joyful Easter Monday.
I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.

Otter on the River Don Christmas Eve 2019 (Young Otter I believe quite small).
I was watching three Otters across the river around 40-50 mtrs away when this small loan Otter popped up right by me 4 - 5 mtrs away. She swam away down stream 10 mtrs or so then came closer to the bank and swam back up stream right past Max and I, just to check us out I'm sure. She must have passed by no more than 4 mtrs away from me, with occasional short pauses in her swim to look Max and I up and down.
Meanwhile the three the other side were busy in and out of the water, two larger Otters and a smaller one. I have no idea if the small one closer was related, though I suspect it must have been as they don't normally share close proximity with others in their habitat. May be a last years youngster. There was no reaction / interaction between the three and this solo Otter.
The mass of dust and bright swirls of stars in this image are the distant galaxy merger IC 2431, which lies 681 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Cancer. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured what appears to be a triple galaxy merger in progress, as well as a tumultuous mixture of star formation and tidal distortions caused by the gravitational interactions of this galactic trio. The centre of this image is obscured by a thick cloud of dust — though light from a background galaxy can be seen piercing its outer extremities.
This image is from a series of Hubble observations investigating weird and wonderful galaxies found by the Galaxy Zoo citizen science project. Using Hubble’s powerful Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), astronomers took a closer look at some of the more unusual galaxies that volunteers had identified. The original Galaxy Zoo project was the largest galaxy census ever carried out, and relied on crowdsourcing time from more than 100 000 volunteers to classify 900 000 unexamined galaxies. The project achieved what would have been years of work for a professional astronomer in only 175 days, and has led to a steady stream of similar astronomical citizen science projects. Later Galaxy Zoo projects have included the largest ever studies of galaxy mergers and tidal dwarf galaxies, as well as the discovery of entirely new types of compact star-forming galaxies.
