Old houses always have vibes. This one was particularly interesting. It is maintained beautifully, but has some rather strange vibes coming off of it is in an area that could be very busy. It brings nothing to the area because it’s been closed for quite some time.. i’ve always thought when I see really interesting properties if walls could talk, what would they say? This house didn’t seem to be able to share. No one seems to know the story of the closures of every business that has tried to survive in this historic building. The only comments I obtained from a couple of locals is that the place is haunted and very creepy.. one lady shared a worker has been coming and going doing some restoration and his constant companion, a small, mixed breed dog stops, staring at the door, and refuses to go in even though her owner is in there. That is a curious thing. As the little dog is quite adventurous per the lady, and always accompanies him on all jobs . hmmm

Les oiseaux consacrent beaucoup de temps à entretenir leur plumage. L'imperméabilité est assurée grâce à leur glande uropygienne,située à la base de la queue. Elle secrète un liquide gras dont ils s'enduisent les plumes. Sans que nous en connaissions la raison, certains oiseaux s'exposent volontiers au soleil, queue et ailes étalées. D'autres espèces aiment à prendre des bains de terre sèche et poudreuse. Les geais des chênes et étourneaux sansonnet préfèrent les fourmis. Ces dernières font un apport en acide formique qui a des propriétés insecticides. Après le bain, le lissage pour réajustement des plumes est une opération importante qui exige du temps. Un plumage bien entretenu est le gage de la survie .

Birds spend a lot of time caring for their plumage. The impermeability is ensured thanks to their uropygian gland, located at the base of the tail. It secretes a fatty liquid with which they smear their feathers. Without our knowing the reason, some birds are willing to expose themselves to the sun, their tail and wings spread out. Other species like to take dry, powdery earth baths. Eurasian jays and starlings prefer ants. The latter provide formic acid which has insecticidal properties. After bathing, smoothing to readjust the feathers is an important operation that requires time. Well-maintained plumage is the guarantee of survival.

Amersfoort is a very historic and atmospheric city east of Amsterdam. It has many beautiful medieval buildings that are well maintained. It is a busy place with just over 150,000 inhabitants.
The first villagers probably settled in Amersfoort around the 11th century, as it was a strategic location near a fortress in the river. This would most likely have been important for both trade and travel, as all travelers heading that way would have to pass through the village to cross the river.
Being in such a good trading location, the village grew and prospered quickly and soon more permanent buildings were established around the central area. The city was chartered to become a city in the late 13th century and soon the construction of the city walls began.
Construction of the new church began in the mid-15th century. this lasted well and the city continued to grow until 1787, there was a massive explosion in the church, which destroyed most of the main building. The high tower (Onze Lieve Vrouwe Toren - Lange Jan), with a length of almost 100 meters, has remained and still stands. Amersfoort had also become an important trade center for tobacco and textiles.
This old fish house makes for a nice photography subject. I don't know much about the history of this place but it must be maintained to still be in decent shape.
I thought I would try and find an angle not typically shot to make it interesting.
Fountain Elms was maintained as a house museum, exhibiting the Proctors' paintings, prints and decorative furnishings as the nucleus of a permanent collection. In June of 1941, the Institute was granted the power to "provide instruction in higher education at the college level in the field of fine arts with authority to confer the degree of bachelor of fine arts." It was on this great occasion that the School of Art was established.
12-february-2021: snow is white, so it is a body that reflects light 90% (albedo 0,9 out of 1), therefore maintaining the originary wavelength.
Contrary to what is believed, it is clear bodies, those that reflect the light the most, apparently "color themselves" more, reflecting and therefore making the wavelengths of the colors of the light they reflect reach from those bodies; on the other hand, it is the bodies that most absorb light, especially dark ones, those that light up well and change their apparent color less, precisely because they absorb light, which does not mean "turning on", but making it one's own by not showing it.
The snow, therefore, pure white, is really white only when illuminated by an equally clear and pure light, like the sun on a clear day; already in the shade, on a bright and flawless day, we notice that it generally becomes bluish, reflecting the light of the clear sky, as well as in the evening.
But it can have many shades, even very strong ones, such as pink-orange at sunset, or the less fascinating yellow and gray in pale sunny or cloudy days.
I have maintained my social isolation in family and with professional work at home. Here in Brazil we are already with more than 13.000 deaths by Covid-19.
That's why I'm posting my travel photos to Portugal of December 2019.
I hope that my friends here on Flickr are maintaining proper care...we will still overcome all this worldwide adversity.

The Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, was the last home for Arizona's Territorial government, until Arizona became a state in 1912. Initially, all three branches of the new state government occupied the four floors of the statehouse. As the state expanded the branches relocated to adjacent buildings and additions. The 1901 portion of the Capitol is now maintained as the Arizona Capitol Museum with a focus on the history and culture of Arizona. The Arizona State Library which occupied most of the 1938 addition until July 2017 re-opened in late 2018 as a part of the Arizona Capitol Museum.
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!
My social distancing continues. One of my friends commented: "Mike, you've always maintained social distancing!" Maybe there's a bit of truth to that? On topic: My project to do a gallery of my trip to the Falklands continues. Here's one that I put a great deal of work in removing branches behind this Long-tailed Meadowlark as it dove off a brambly bush near one of the lodges in the Falklands.
Stay safe, we're making progress.

This statue stands in the Jardins Biovès in Menton, France, a lush and meticulously maintained public garden located in the city center along Avenue Boyer. The statue visible is the “Monument to Queen Victoria”, commemorating her visit to Menton in 1882. The sculpture depicts Queen Victoria with a symbolic guardian angel by her side, paying homage to her significance and the role she played in popularizing the French Riviera as a winter destination among British aristocracy.
Surrounded by palm trees, rose-covered arches, and seasonal flower displays, the monument adds a regal historical touch to the tropical ambiance of the gardens. The setting, with the backdrop of the mountains and Belle Époque architecture, captures the elegance and timeless charm of Menton...

My daughter, Jessica, who lives in Estes Park, Colorado and turned 25 today, sent me a few photos of an unexpected group of celebrants who had gathered in her backyard to extend their best wishes. On closer inspection, you will note the bull of the elk herd in the upper right maintaining a rightful and appropriate distance from the females, no doubt making sure they behave properly and don't get rowdy.

Serenity is maintaining a sense of inner peace even in difficult situations. We gain serenity by accepting the things we cannot change and focusing our energy where we can make a difference.
Fear, anger or desire can create a sense of urgency that triggers us to react impulsively. When this happens, we risk undermining our goals, damaging relationships--even violating our deepest values. By contrast, when we cultivate serenity, we don’t fear our emotions, but we do keep them in balance. We govern ourselves rather than being ruled by external circumstances and our feelings about them.
Meditative practices, contemplation, physical exercise and self-regulation skills all can help us to maintain a serene, peaceful state of mind. This mental state in turn frees us to live thoughtfully and intentionally. When we hold onto our own sense of serenity, we help others to keep theirs.
There are many windpumps scattered around the Norfolk countryside and they were originally used to drain the land. They are in various states of decay and people often mistake them for windmills. This one at Horsey is on the broads not far from Winterton-on-sea and is maintained by the National Trust (NT)

Un couple de martins-pêcheurs élève normalement 2 nichées par an, voire 3 ou 4, si les conditions sont favorables ou si une nichée a été détruite.
La première ponte a lieu dès la mi-mars en Europe occidentale, un mois plus tard en Europe orientale. De 4 à 8 œufs sont pondus à un jour d'intervalle, à même le sol de la chambre de ponte. D'un beau blanc brillant et de forme presque sphérique, ils ont un diamètre moyen à peine supérieur à 2 cm et ne pèsent guère plus de 4 grammes.
Le couple se partage, à parts à peu près égales, le temps de couvaison et se relaie par factions de 2 à 5 heures. L'incubation dure trois semaines et ne commence qu'une fois le dernier œuf pondu ; les éclosions ont donc toutes lieu au même moment.
Nus à l'éclosion et incapables de maintenir leur température interne, les petits sont réchauffés par les adultes pendant une semaine, jusqu'à ce qu'ils se couvrent de courtes plumes. Les parents peuvent alors se consacrer tous deux à leur ravitaillement.
Les poissons apportés aux jeunes sont légèrement plus longs que ceux que les adultes capturent pour eux-mêmes : entre 4 et 7 cm, avec un maximum de 10 cm. Pendant la becquée, les petits, disposés en étoile à l'intérieur de la chambre, sont nourris chacun à son tour durant les deux à trois premières semaines. C'est l'époque où le sol du nid se couvre de leurs pelotes de réjection, et où les parents se baignent souvent. Un peu plus tard, les jeunes se tournent tous vers le boyau d'entrée, serrés les uns contre les autres, ou s'avancent dans le couloir à la rencontre des adultes.

A pair of kingfishers normally rear 2 broods a year, or 3 or 4, if conditions are favorable or if a brood has been destroyed.
The first spawning takes place in mid-March in Western Europe, a month later in Eastern Europe. From 4 to 8 eggs are laid one day apart on the floor of the laying chamber. They are bright white in color and almost spherical in shape. They have an average diameter of just over 2 cm and weigh little more than 4 grams.
The couple share, roughly equally, the brooding time and relays in factions from 2 to 5 hours. The incubation lasts three weeks and begins only once the last egg laid; hatching therefore takes place at the same time.
Naked at hatching and unable to maintain their internal temperature, the young are warmed by adults for a week, until they cover themselves with short feathers. Parents can then devote themselves to their food.
The fish brought to the young are slightly longer than those that the adults catch for themselves: between 4 and 7 cm, with a maximum of 10 cm. During the beak, the little ones, arranged in a star inside the chamber, are each fed during the first two to three weeks. It is the time when the ground of the nest is covered with their balls of rejection, and where the parents bathe often. A little later, the youths all turn to the inlet hose, huddled together, or walk down the hallway to meet the adults.
Some Hadada ibis maintain a pair bonding throughout the year. Commonly, a female, with her wings half-open, approaches a male and touches her beak to his beak. After this brief mutual beak-to-beak touching, she resumes feeding elsewhere among the party. Billing behavior of pairs includes rattling of beaks up and down and side-to-side while nodding heads. Courtship includes the offering of sticks by each bird to the other 😄, followed by neck intertwining, mutual preening, head shaking

Yes, we have been evacuated again. This fire is closer to where we live. It was started when SCE shut the power off. Some guy who had not been maintaining his generator, switched it on: it exploded.

After a stormy night, a foggy morning was covering Brittany.
Nevertheless, Ruppert (the black one) Hanaée-Mitsumie (the three colours female) and I decided to go out for a little stroll in the countryside.
The period of "confinement" was not yet over, so we were particularly careful to maintain "social distance" between us.
The red cliffs of Capitol Reef tower above the well maintained homestead in Fruita, Utah. The cliffs were, formed by windblown sand deposits (Wingate Formation, thicker lower layer, 200 MYA) and from riverine depsosits (Kayenta Formation, upper layer, ca. 180 MYA). The white dome sticking up in the back is Navajo Sandstone, deposited as sand in a desert environment.
Once one of the most isolated communities in the U.S., Fruita (formerly known as "Junction") is now HQ for Capitol Reef National Park, who maintain fruit orchards and a few of the old buildings. The campground is one of the most scenic in the NPS system, just behind where this was taken. The park is a great example of how human impact on the landscape is nicely blended in with the surroundings, with "historical" orchards adjacent to 1500+ year old petroglyph panels, just below the cliffs of the reef.

Coquille River Lighthouse stands watch at the entrance of the South jetty along Bullard's beach in Bandon, Oregon.
Commissioned in 1896 and designed by Carl Leick, the light guided mariners to find the dangerous bar at the mouth of the Coquille River. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1939, following completion of improvements to the river channel. It is currently maintained by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department as part of Bullards Beach State Park.

San Francisco Square in the Historic Center of Quito.
From left to right, in the San Francisco building, you can see the doors of the Chapel of Cantuña, the Chapel of Villacísla, the main church, the convent and the museum.
***
The Church and its chapels (La Iglesia de San Francisco), which were considered sacred places.
Together, Church and Convent encompass three hectares including 13 cloisters (six of them major), three churches, and a large courtyard. In total, about 40,000 square meters of construction. San Francisco follows the classical typology of medieval monasteries. The main Church is the guiding axis and from there the cloister galleries extend: the refectory, the chapterhouse, and winery. These define a quadrangular courtyard, with the four respective pandas, or galleries: that of the chapter room, the refectory, the converts, and the mandatum. In addition to the basic dependencies of a convent, there were areas devoted to health care, education, crafts, a garden, and even a jail (to maintain strict discipline). The kitchen and dispensery operated in the cloister of services.

Walking from the Old Town’s narrow colonial streets into this open plaza reveals one of the finest sights in all of Ecuador: a sweeping cobblestone plaza backed by the mountainous backdrop of Volcán Pichincha, and the long, whitewashed walls and twin bell towers of Ecuador’s oldest church.

The Public Square (Plaza de San Francisco) was a purely urban space, demarcated and connected to various public activities (teaching, market, water supply).

Sad part of our History.
In pre-Hispanic Quito, the current lands of the Church and Convent of San Francisco were occupied by the royal palace of the Inca Huayna Cápac, before the advance of the armies commanded by the Spaniards from the south and the impossibility of defending the city the indigenous general Rumiñahui arranged the total destruction of it. In the city fire the palace was destroyed and buried under a huge amount of rubble and garbage. One of Rumiñahui's soldiers was the great-grandfather of the indigenous Cantuña, who as an eyewitness to the events had full knowledge of what was buried in the place. The construction of the church and convent of San Francisco began around 1537, just three years after the Spanish foundation of the city, with the completion of a provisional temple that was maintained until 1550, when construction of the current building began and which was completed around 1680. Although the building was officially inaugurated in 1705.

Avoid the annoyance, maintain social distancing. This Canada Goose wasn't too happy when the Osprey ventured too close after catching a fish from the pond. This is the sort of muttering others may make if you happen to come too close during your outdoor walk.
Esztergom was the capital of Hungary from the 10th till the mid-13th century when King Béla IV of Hungary moved the royal seat to Buda. During the same period, the castle of Esztergom was built on the site of ancient Roman castrum. It served not only as the royal residence until the 1241 (the Mongol invasion), but also as the center of the Hungarian state, religion, and Esztergom county.
After changing his residence to Budapest, Béla IV gave the palace and castle to the archbishop. Following these events, the castle was built and decorated by the bishops. The center of the king’s town, which was surrounded by walls, was still under royal authority. A number of different monasteries did return or settle in the religious center.
Meanwhile, the citizenry had been fighting to maintain and reclaim the rights of towns against the expansion of the church within the royal town. In the chaotic years after the fall of the House of Árpád, Esztergom suffered another calamity: in 1304, the forces of Wenceslaus II, the Czech king occupied and raided the castle. In the years to come, the castle was owned by several individuals: Róbert Károly and then Louis the Great patronized the town.
The Ottoman conquest of Mohács in 1526 brought a decline to the previously flourishing Esztergom as well. In the Battle of Mohács, the archbishop of Esztergom died. In the period between 1526 and 1543, when two rival kings reigned in Hungary, Esztergom was besieged six times. At times it was the forces of Ferdinand I or John Zápolya, at other times the Ottomans attacked. Finally, in 1530, Ferdinand I occupied the castle. He put foreign mercenaries in the castle, and sent the chapter and the bishopric to Nagyszombat and Pozsony.
However, in 1543 Sultan Suleiman I attacked the castle and took it. Esztergom became the centre of an Ottoman sanjak controlling several counties, and also a significant castle on the northwest border of the Ottoman Empire. In the 17th century Esztergom was besieged and conquered several times during the Ottoman-Habsburg Wars. Most of the buildings in the castle and the town that had been built in the Middle Ages were destroyed during this period, and there were only uninhabitable, smothered ruins to welcome the liberators.
In 1761 the bishopric regained control over the castle, where they started the preliminary processes of the reconstruction of the new religious center: the middle of the Várhegy (Castle Hill), the remains of Saint Stephen and Saint Adalbert churches were carried away to provide room for the new cathedral.

Europe, Spain, Andalusia, Sevilla, Plaza da la Encarnación, Metropol Parasol, Maintenance workers (uncut)
The Metropol Parasol, aka Setas de Sevilla was designed by Berlin architect Jörgen Mayer and opened in 2011. It's on the location of a demolished market and In its bowels are a new food market and a museal space where the ancient (Roman) foundations of the city can be visited. The main function of the edifice is to refresh and modernize the urban image of Sevilla.
At the planning stage, there was opposition - the Semana Sancta organizers were against it and, strange enough, a Spanish-German trade organization too. Perhaps it was a bit too much of a "fremdkörper" in the middle of town. But in the 6 years of its existence, it has become an organic element of the town.
The view it offers on the town and its surroundings is wonderful. It's, by the way, the largest wooden structure in the world. The laminated wood is covered by a fire retardant layer.
Seen here are maintenance works.

This old house in Humbug is nicely maintained. It was most likely the home of one of the mining bosses and probably still has residents to this very day. Of course, the local residents prefer calling their little town North Bloomfield instead of Humbug, and in truth they're right. Humbug was the name bestowed on the town back in the 1850's by a hard luck group of miners. Personally, I feel Humbug is a much more colorful name and I continue to use it--as do many others in the area. I'm sure if you were to address a letter to someone here using the Humbug name, it would get there just the same--as they say, the mail must go through.
Happy Fence Friday everyone.
