This was my Grandfather's 1967 Nikon camera given to me by my Grandmother a few years ago. I don't take photos with it (it's heavy as heck) but I like looking at it because it reminds me of him.
Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings and the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Between 1540 and 1556, the abbey had the status of a cathedral. Since 1560, however, the building is no longer an abbey nor a cathedral, having instead the status of a Church of England "Royal Peculiar"—a church responsible directly to the sovereign. The building itself is the original abbey church.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesdays is old and new. Of course we have Mr. Teddy bear with us to celebrate Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays.
Mr. Teddy Bear has a dilemma: old or new ? What do you prefer ? New is exacting and cool and so new and so out of usual … New is the change and the challenge to adapt. But on the other hand: old is reassuring, it is what we are use to … Old is comfort and we know what to expect…
When Mr. Teddy Bear realized his old pencil was almost too old to continue to write his exciting adventures, he went pencil shopping… His old pencil was so awesome but those new guys were so shiny and new… Of course the new pencil will have to learn everything from the old one… so there is no question about throwing away the old pencil (this is the hoarder inside of me speaking ;-) !) But the choice was so difficult… New pencils looked so similar… with no distinctive signs, no character and no experience…. The old pencil was very stubborn and had an opinion on everything… but he had also the best stories to tell… the new guys were very « blah » in the eyes of Mr. Teddy Bear…
Eventually Mr. Teddy Bear will choose one new pencil… and he will try to get use to it and to make it his personal pencil… Until it becomes as awesome as his old pencil… And not so new anymore…

Old Harry Rocks are three chalk formations, including a stack and a stump, located at Handfast Point, on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, southern England. They mark the most eastern point of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This I know is 6 years old but I have no idea what it is or where I took it. I thought it was about time to get it out of my Flickr-to-go file.
Once the pride of a small Ozarks town...now scarcely noticed on a once busy corner....slipping quietly away.
Tegernsee fue fundada en el año 746 por monjes benedictinos, los cuales tuvieron una influencia sustancial en la región de Baviera y en su desarrollo. Aún hoy existe la famosa Abadía de Tegernsee. En 1803, en el marco de las Guerras Napoleónicas pasó a ser la residencia de verano de la familia real bávara, los Wittelsbach, lo que contribuyó a atraer cortesanos y visitantes al lago.

Old Packhorse Bridge, Carrbridge
The bridge, built in 1717, is the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands. It was severely damaged in the "muckle spate" of 1829 which left it in the condition seen today. (Wikipedia)
The whole time I was here I was thinking about the gorgeous photos my Flickr friend photographersouthflorida@gmail.com took at night at this location.
I was just passing through so trying to get some night shots will have to wait until another time.
I would also love to get some photos of the Great Smoky Mountains, shown here as just a pop in the right corner.
Beautiful place-Pigeon Forge, Tennessee!
