Small and cute figurines, about 5 cm (2 inches) tall. Shop display in Tianzifang.
Tianzifang (Chin: 田子坊): this is an area of small narrow alleys or "nong" (弄) which has been redeveloped and now features arts shops, restaurants and bars and also enough souvenir shops to make it a one-stop shopping location on the hunt for the "typical" Chinese souvenir.

Yes it did. We made it there on a kayak and a canoe. It was a tough paddle for 4.5 hours, so we started with the sunrise to beat the unpredictable winds on Lake Maligne, with only one stop for 15 minutes. Do I have big muscles? Nope! You can make it too! We met a few canoeists on the way there, and they were singing “Yellow Submarine” to add to the rhythm of paddling. What a treat and motivational tool to keep paddling!!! We started singing too. I guess, it helps to be determined to get to your destination. It just gets easier!!! And Yes, we had it all to ourselves! Enjoy it!
Thanks for your visits, favs and comments. As always, appreciated very much!

Wanna Buy Me A Coffee?
Well it certainly took a little longer than the predicted 5hr journey time to get there. Nine hours with only one stop for coffee and recharge the battery for my phone.
Two bad accidents on the A19 and the M90 created tailbacks for over ten miles. On both occasions we stood still for over an hour.
So you can appreciate the delight the next morning, when we were treated to this beautiful sunrise behind the castle.
Named after it's Gaelic name, Dun Fhoithear, literally meaning "fort on the shelving slope"
As far as castles go, it's difficult to imagine a more remote and dramatic location than Dunnatar.
Perhaps with the most impenetrable position of all Scottish castles, this one sits on top of it's own cliff peninsular on the road to Aberdeen, defended on all sides by the forces of nature.
Dunnatar Castle also comes with a good dose of dastardly history with an intrepid mix of torching, smuggling and pillaging.
Add to this some seriously stunning scenery and vistas to rival the best.
There are 50metre high cliffs on three sides of the site. While those are pounded by the North Sea, the fourth is joined to the land. This section was once a peninsular, but it's access was destroyed in favour of a cliff pathway. As a result you can only reach Dunnatar via a narrow, twisting route that ends in a tunnel, making it one of the most difficult Scottish castles to get into.
Back to New York City for a bit more processing from the Vessel, Hudson Yard, New York City before COVID taken 8 June 2019. Just one stop along the way with a top to bottom walk around Manhattan with Mathias, aka., m_laRs_k. Can't wait to do it again.
The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring new landmark meant to be climbed. This interactive design piece was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points.
Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs -- almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings -- with nearly one mile of vertical climb above the Public Square and Gardens, this landmark offers remarkable views.

He was very active flying from tree to tree seldom staying still for long. When he did land he would be behind a branch or another tree. He did make one stop in an open space at a tree he looks to have visited before but even here he did not stay long.
Things That Make No Sense are just that, assorted bits of amusement for nothing more than visual curiosity and my idea of what I call art. Now a series of sorts, the series is interrupted with photographs that do make sense, or at least make sense to me. One stop along the way combining the art of Katharina Fritsch's "Hahn/Cock" with Yayoi Kusama unique perspective on things.
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!
That's what it looks like the blade of grass is saying as it points to this crocus :)
I found a field of crocuses (croci) yesterday on a very sunny day. I laid a green garbage bag on the ground and got down into some very ungainly positions, but honestly, I don't care. No one stopped to ask if I was alright, at least this time :)
Could it be spring is on its way?

Blue-banded Bee (Amegilla cingulata)
As often happens, for me anyway, once I have finally got an image of a bird/insect/flower that I have been trying for I seem to get more, and hopefully better, images.
I had a look at our Abelia plant today, hoping to see a Blue-banded Bee again, there were two. This one stopped long enough a few times for some images.
The photo to the left is taken from the bank of a small river. Seasonal flooding would have created moments of reflection and dramatic island.
The central image includes a horizontal carved space (left) that may have held a body rather than 'buried' a body. Embalming is a dynamic subject and perhaps aligned to the specificity of burial in monolithic grave. Just such a space may have held a body in waiting for rite and protocol. The dark volume to the left would have been brightened by natural light from an opening since blocked.
The image right includes the start of a cement addition mentioned in Flickr box.

This one stopped me in my tracks. That trunk has clearly seen a lot — a snapped-off top, deep furrowed bark, a base that's swollen and buttressed like it's been holding its ground for a very long time. New growth is sprouting right out of the old wound, which felt worth noticing. Someone thought enough of this tree to put a picnic table under it, and I understand why.

Rollei Magic 1962 Quite a strange camera, every shot is a bit of a gamble. It teaches me to guess the light- and exposure conditions.

i am trying this camera. It has an automatic "magic" exposure. Diafragma 3.5-22, and shutter speed between 1/30 and 1/300. Exposure meter still works, but in low light it is off. between EV 11 and 17 it works pretty ok. one stop extra will do.
Eagle Nest One Stop (US64 Gas). Permanently closed and abandoned. They had it all.....gas, car wash, pay phone, ice, ice cream, DVDs and goodies for the munchies.
Many anthropological details to ponder: The proprietor lives 'above the shop' complete with a convenience store, a lounge bar, and fuel. Look closely, and you'll see a notice on the door that they only accept cash. A sign advertising a long-past tractor show, and the HB ice cream logos taped to the windows. The pumps look like they date from the 70s or 80s, and have been hit by cars, trucks, and tractors so many times they're barely standing. Packing tape holds the pump exteriors together -- to a point. Surprisingly, the diesel pump still appears to work, with the lights on and current pricing. I've never seen a customer's car here, yet the place seems well maintained outside of the wonky fuel pumps and outdoor light.

Mono Lake at dawn. This is the first HDR blend that I'm happy with. It's four exposures, one stop apart each, merged in Photoshop using 32-bit HDR. From there, I brought the TIF file into Adobe Camera Raw for editing and then did final touch ups back in Photoshop.
Mono Lake is a key seagull breeding area in CA. Water levels are down, threatening the ecosystem for the brine shrimp and flies the gulls feed on. Also, low water levels increase the risk that predators can reach the gull eggs and chicks on Nebit Island. Water diversion to Los Angeles has been reduced and will be halted if the lake falls further to protect the lake.

The Hagerstown-Conway manifest, NS 39Q, had the Erie heritage unit leading on this bright Spring day. Normally I'd shoot this train on the Lurgan Branch, but it ran east in the harsh back light and after giving it a whirl, I ended up with garbage and headed home. When I arrived, my wife asked if I wanted to take a family ride up to Harrisburg so she could run some errands. I said I would if we could make one stop for an errand of my own: grabbing the 39Q once it was on the Pittsburgh Line and facing into the sun. Deal!
