Portencross Pier, Ayrshire coast, Scotland. Described as being only the second concrete pier in the world, it is thought to be about 120 years old. The pier was established to transport locally grown produce such as potatoes to Glasgow by paddle steamer in the days before the railways. Glasgow was overflowing with industry, shipping and migrants as the second city of what was the British Empire at the time.
In addition to being over-engineered, the pier has a removable section to allow the winter storm breakers to pass through without damaging the structure. The wooden boards that filled the section are long gone, replaced by heavy iron plates. These may lead to the demise of the structure, but the breakers have lifted the central plate off its bolts already. The pier is popular with photographers due to its T-shape the backdrop of the Isle of Arran across the Firth of Clyde. I decided on avoiding the sunset shots and went for the lovely rusty plates against the deep blue waters as it is such a nice colour combination.
Green domes belong to St Lawrence Church- The Church of Saint Lawrence in Prague is a church of the Old Catholic Church of the Czech Republic. It is located on Petřín hill, next to Petřín Lookout Tower and the Hunger Wall. It was originally a Romanesque church, later rebuilt in the Baroque style by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer.
The Hunger Wall (Czech: Hladová zeď) is a medieval defensive wall of the Lesser Town of Prague, today's Czech Republic. It was built on Petřín Hill between 1360 and 1362 by order of Charles IV.
Marl from quarries on Petřín Hill was used as construction material. The purpose of the construction was to strengthen the fortifications of Prague Castle and Malá Strana against any attack from the west or south. Originally the wall was 4 to 4.5 metres high and 1.8 metres wide and was equipped with battlements and (probably) eight bastions.
The wall was repaired in 1624, further strengthened in the middle of 18th century and repaired or modified several times later (in modern era in 1923-25 and 1975). One of preserved bastions serves as a base for the dome of Štefánik Observatory.
The wall was originally called Zubatá (toothed) or Chlebová (built for bread). The adjective Hladová (hungry) appeared after a 1361 famine, when the construction works on the wall provided livelihood for the city's poor. According to myth, the purpose of the wall was not strategic but to employ and thus feed the poor. Another myth, recorded in writings of Václav Hájek z Libočan or Bohuslav Balbín, is that the Emperor Charles IV himself worked on the wall several hours every day "to help his beloved people".
HFF!
Peanuts are not "peanuts" for Worth County, GA - the Peanut Capital of the World. We also have a Peter Pan plant here, and some of these peanuts will land up in your cabinets one day! Those peanuts have been hauled directly from the field to the buying point.

Bolpur, Santiniketan, India - March 2024: Bahurupi artists in west bengal easily metamorphose into different characters during performance by painting their face.
Bahurupis in Bengal
A group of folk performers who assume several forms [In Sanskrit 'bahu' (many) and 'rupa' (form)] and playfully take on different identities. The bahurupis portray several hundred characters borrowing stories from epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata; folk tales of gods and goddesses in disguise; stories built around common characters and inspirational stories about personalities.

Local Muong girls harvesting tea leaves, Long Coc, Vietnam
Tea production is a cornerstone of Vietnam’s economy, with the country ranking as the 7th largest tea producer globally, and supporting the livelihoods of over 400,000 families, particularly in rural and mountainous areas. Workers rise with the sun to handpick around 15 kilograms of tea leaves each morning, ensuring freshness and quality. Beyond its economic impact, traditional tea cultivation and processing techniques, passed down through generations, reflect Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage and the dedication of its people.
A quiet, evocative scene documenting rural livelihoods in coastal Bangladesh. In IMg, a flock of geese—a vital domestic asset for many coastal households—gathers near a traditional bamboo and corrugated tin shed. These birds serve as both a reliable source of sustenance and a modest, sustainable income stream for village families. The monochrome edit emphasizes the timeless, resilient texture of rural life as the flock congregates at the edge of a village pond.
Sunset in Wailea, Maui, Hawai’i
This image is not from my recent trip to Hawai’i, but it is Maui that is in my heart this week after the tragic and devastating wildfires there. The events of the week lie heavy on my mind and heart, mourning the many lives lost, the destruction of homes, livelihoods, and centuries of history, and the near-obliteration of the entire historic town of Lahaina, a place where three generations of my family have memories.
So I will share more photos from this summer’s trip when I can return to thoughts of Hawai’i with joy instead of tears. For now, a memory of Maui from brighter days...
In every society, there are senior people who are left behind to fend for themselves by the very home they hall prospered in the earlier part of their lives.

...Moorland farms were always marginal places to try and make a living. Now reduced to shells, they provide sheep shelters
This factory is located at the remote area within the deserted valley at the outskirts of Taif. People around the world put great effort and sacrifice so many things in their life to earn livelihood for their family. I have a great respect and high regards for these people.
I went to another Dorset field last night and I was not alone. The Dorset poppies are quite a spectacle and attract a lot of photographers. Fine by me as I get to meet some nice people and I am not so self conscious about trespassing - Shhh!!!
It was quite a challenging evening. There was quite a vigorous breeze causing a lot of movement, these poppies are like delicate rice paper. My close ups were a bit of a fail.
I think this is the only one I am happy with but one photo is sometimes all you need. And I think I have posted enough poppies now to warrant a lifetime supply of Flake bars!
I would like to say at this point at all times I stuck to either outer edges or lines within the field. It's an absolute no-no treading on these beautiful blooms just to get the shot. Also these opium poppies are someone's livelihood.

Location : A railway platform , near Kolkata ( Calcutta ) in the state of West Bengal in India.
Carried by the wind, a thick patch of fog drifts across the slick railheads of the L&N. 24 consecutive hours of rain in combination with melting snow have created uncharacteristically wet conditions in central KY. The Rockcastle River is well above normal, it's rushing waters on the precipice of cresting the adjacent riverbank. It was but a foreshadowing of what was to come, as less than 2 weeks later, Appalachia would drown beneath some of the most significant flooding in its history. From Corbin to Roanoke, rushing waters threatened not only the railroads within it, but the homes and livelihoods of those living within.
Nomads losing livelihood, unity and culture post resettlement:
DHARAMSHALA, July 17: A Tibetan writer born to a nomadic family inside Tibet has blasted China’s mass resettlement policy of Tibetans and listed eight “losses” nomads (Tib: drogpas) have suffered post resettlement.
Written in Tibetan under the pseudonym Bongtak Rilu, the writer says that nomads are “a proud, compassionate, honest, cultured and productive people who crafted their own independent source of living for centuries.”
According to Dharamshala based rights group Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, the writer laments the losses nomads are currently suffering, including the loss of precious folk culture, because of their resettlement in urban areas.
