I assumed this was a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker when I briefly observed and photographed it. But I was excited to see that it's a Red-naped when I examined my photos at home! See how there's little or no black between the red throat and white cheek stripe. Also, see the reddish nape.
Stills from my major film of 2010, a short character study called Observe.

I have been traveling in a small camper van and I observed this fellow in a nearby RV at the campground. His people had gone off to the pool and he climbed up on the dash to keep his eye on them. No dogs were harmed in the making of this photo :))))
I'll be in and out but I will be around to visit!! It is almost the weekend!! Have a great one.
sometimes, things or people are not what they are.
sometimes, the truth is questionable.
sometimes, we just have to surrender.
and not ask why.
be open,
be free,
simply observe.

I just wanted to do a little something for one of my dearest Flickr friends.
'Coz it's like that: as soon as I landed on planet Flickr i was enticed by mdumlao98's warmth, sensitivity and intelligence. I want to avoid stating the obvious and say that he is a brilliant photographer. Well, he is. But that doesn't do him a full justice. His beautiful mind turns everything into poetry. There is no atrocity in this world that he cannot make beautiful or meaningful. The commentary he gives to life will make you pause in your tracks and think. And sometimes, it will save you. He has given me so much. I just wanted to thank. Mike, I'm so glad you exist.
Observe what is around you...you'll always discover something different. If only I knew who the artist was.
Each day (or whenever I can) I will upload a few photos from the unexpected photo outing I had with my two friends.

As my fellow walkers observed Forest Row is one of those places that one tends to go through rather than stop at, but after our walk we did stop here and had lunch at The Swan pub, which was very good. This is the town hall aka Freshfields Hall, and war memorial nearby. The Hall is 'T'-shaped and the spire is on the roof behind.
Interestingly it's not a local council building, it's a volunteer-run charitable trust, entirely funded by donations. It was built in 1892.
Frescos
John Still in 1907 had observed that; "The whole face of the hill appears to have been a gigantic picture gallery... the largest picture in the world perhaps".
The paintings would have covered most of the western face of the rock, covering an area 140 meters long and 40 meters high. There are references in the graffiti to 500 ladies in these paintings. However, many more are lost forever, having been wiped out when the Palace once more became a Monastery so that they would not disturb meditation.
Classified as in the Anuradhapura period but the painting style technique used to paint is considered unique. The line and application style of the paintings differ from the Anuradhapura paintings. The lines are painted in a form which enhances the sense of volumeness of figures. The paint has been applied in sweeping action strokes using more pressure on one side giving the effect of a deeper colour tone towards the edge. Other paintings of the Anuradhapura period contains similar approaches to painting but they do not have the sketchy nature of the sigiriya lines as the painting of the Anuradhapura period has a distinct line which was the artists boundary which does not resemble that of the Sigiriya style.
