Glasgow is a city of Scottish modesty and pride, education and illiteracy, Rangers and Celtic, industrialisation and gentrification, and affluence and poverty.
Taken in Glasgow's east end.
Edinburgh Road. I cropped this photo at the last minute as the version I planned to upload felt unbalanced.
I was very aware that the skirt was riding up my thighs and I didn't want to flash my knickers. You have to keep a little to the imagination, don't you?
Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are chortling at the most inane things for the Group of the easily amused....
This photo is not mine but as I think it is such a beautiful image of modesty I felt I had to post it. As such, it has a special significance for me.
I was not sure if I was to make this project , why you ask ??
Well modesty aside I have to tell you guys that I did pretty good on my 365 project on 2011 , and all 2012 was great for me , my project took me places I wouldn't dream of going (various cities here in Mexico and even to Guatemala) Yeap my 365 did that for me
I have done good since my project , so I thought to myself : You sure about this ??
This could re-make you or break you , you know that old saying . . . Quit while your ahead ??
well let's just hope I made the right decision , Cheers from Tijuana Mexico

Alowyn Gardens, Yarra Glen.
A steep scrub of boulder behind a large cow, horse and bull field in between Catllaurens and the Camp de la Coma. Not easy to find, but fascinating in its modesty. A date that may be from neolithic through to the Bronze age. There may be a single linked cup (dumbbell), but aside that the station only has single cups and these are sprinkled over a wide area.
Top left : a simple cup hides between lichen and texture.
Top right : a larger sized cup - over 10cm in diameter.
Lower left : a single solitary cup.
Lower right : a single cup with a canal that has nothing to link to.
Contrast this quiet site with the dense and diverse clusters up hill in Catllaurens and downhill in the 'Camp de la Coma', and you can almost imagine scenarios of excluded individuals, loners, failed attempts to start an new gathering point, 'les autres' and so on. From another trajectory you may simply see an intermediate zone, mostly used by lone or hunter duos ; individuals rather than coordinated groups, who are after a couple of rabbits and a bird or two for a project and an evening meal.
We are reminded of some of the smaller stones on Ilkley Moor...
On just such an informal site, a hunters registry will not have been required, as there was no judicious share for a large team of role players, and so no chance of the disputes that may have otherwise disordered such necessary and social occasions - for example people only turning up in the afternoon and yet claiming a full share... When it's one man or two men off for trapping or opportunistic hunting, the catch is collected without debate and a hunter's registry stone would have no function.
Stepping back; as might be expected, it may be that the 'administrative gesture' of placing an identity 'amulet' into a cup, has been codified as a rite, so that the act of showing that 'you were there' becomes a rite of thanks, a codified ritual of exchanging elements in the anamistic environment. There may have been no 'original' functional need to make and honor a cup, but the act has become a cultural norm - a spiritual necessity.
There are umpteen examples of sublimations in culture and society : gestures that express beyond their original function, gestures that transcend, and many will easily come to mind...

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians. See you in a few.
Bonne action de grâce à mes amis canadiens. À bientôt.

In the same manner that gold and diamonds are highly treasured in the West, the Chinese regard jade stone with a special significance.
The importance of Jade stone in Chinese culture is reflected in its status as a symbol of goodness, preciousness and beauty. To the Chinese, jade stone is also the embodiment of the Confucian virtues of courage, wisdom, modesty, justice and compassion. The polish and brilliance of jade stone is considered by the Chinese to be representative of purity while its compactness and hardness reflect intelligence. Justice is represented by its angles and the sound produced by it when it is struck is a symbol of music.
There is a Chinese saying that goes, "Gold has a value; jade is invaluable".

This is the modesty screen* in front of the closed Gents toilet at Tyseley station. A class 168 speeds past with 1H56 the 15.12 Birmingham Snow Hill to Marylebone.
*The GWR modesty screens are planked wooden panels supported by cast iron upright pillars, the uprights are the same castings as the supports for station running in boards, even to the neat cap on the top. Not a lot of people know that...or even care.

I love the modest pose this woman struck as she stooped to pick up her shopping bags, outside of the stunning Shiaa Sayyida Ruqayya Mosque in the Old City, Damascus.
Salaam aleikum,
may this picture honour all those sisters who cover themselves as they are asked to do by ALLAH.
May HE reward all these sisters and may they have peace.
Drenched and laughing, the girls wring out their shirts — and maybe a little modesty. The fountain’s done its job, and they’re not shy about it. Summer doesn’t come with a dress code.
Series: 🌈 Where the Water Laughs
One summer day, the fountain became a stage. Laughter echoed through the spray, friendships danced in droplets, and time stood still — just long enough for everyone to feel young again. This is not just water. This is joy in motion.
