Going through my catalogue, I couldn't resist another shot from my Georgia and Armenia trip. Mount Kasbag (Kezbhag, Kezbaghi, varaint spellings) is not quite in shot here, but this just shows that the Caucasus are a superb range of Mountains. Here they back onto the border with Russia. Gergeti, a hugely important place for Georgian culture is at an altitude of 2170 metres (7120 feet). This image was take from a similar altitude on the other side of the valley, above Stephantsminda.

Capitol Reef National Park is one of the lessor visited parks in Utah but in my opinion still very scenic.
When we stopped at the visitor center, I saw this cool picture of this old barn up on one of the walls. I thought it made a great composition so I had to capture it.
Luckily it's only a mile or 2 down from the visitor center at the Gifford Homestead.
Per the National Park service website... The original home was built in 1908 by polygamist Calvin Pendleton. He and his family occupied it for eight years. The original house had a combined front room/kitchen and two small bedrooms. An outside ladder accessed two upstairs bedrooms. Pendleton also constructed the barn and smokehouse, as well as the rock walls near the house and on the mesa slopes above it.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!

This term is ocupied much to negativ in my opinion. Sure, even in this photo, when I was waiting for the sunrise, everything seems to be a bit gloomy and the bright colours are all missing. Blue notes are influenzing everthing and giving the scenery a special mood. But blues doesn't have to be bad per se and more of this it doesn't have to be something, we need to be fear for. Its telling us to hold and to give more attention more to ourselves. That way it will be much easier to see the streak of light at the horizon what is assuring us, sun will rise again today as well.
Ich finde, dass dieser Begriff eindeutig zu negativ belegt ist. Sicher, auch hier auf diesem Foto, als ich auf den Sonnenaufgang wartete, erscheint alles noch etwas düster und es fehlen die leuchtenden Farben. Die blauen Noten mischen sich in alles ein und verleihen dieser Szene eine besondere Stimmung. Blues muss nicht per se etwas schlechtes sein und vor allem nichts, vor dem wir Angst haben müssen. Er fordert uns auf innezuhalten und uns selbst mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken. Dadurch wird es leichter, den Lichtstreif am Horizont zu finden, der uns die Gewissheit bringt, auch heute wird die Sonne wieder aufgehen.

Went for a walk last night and we were the only humans out there for a while. The gulls seemed to be enjoying their turn as a very low tide exposed a lot of shellfish and other sea food.
Thanks very much for visiting and I really enjoy your opinions in a comment.
Good Friday morning everyone, and hoping that a great and safe weekend will be had by all.
I thought that the last Yellow Crown would be the last, but thought this was the most interesting position of the series, although not the best image. Just the position of this guy trying to maneuver a way to get out of the place he was in, I thought it was very clever, and from keeping his wings from hitting the trees, only my opinion.
Thanks to all for everything.
Congéia (Congea Tomentosa) is a woody, branched vine, known worldwide for its decorative flowering.
Native from Asia, particularly Burma, India, Malaysia, Thailand.
At the end of Winter and early Spring the Congéia blooms, showing numerous white flowers, small and discreet, but each surrounded by three helix-shaped bracts, very showy and durable, which change color gradually, from pink to purple and subsequently to gray, over several weeks. Flowering is so dense and abundant that you can hardly see the foliage.
As a vine tropical, enjoys the heat and does not tolerate frost or snowfall. In temperate countries it must be protected in greenhouses during winter.
From:

I love to take pictures of this vine, because even when the little flowers fade the bracts remain with the beautiful pink color and velvety texture, wich enchants me so much.
I never saw the grey color mentioned in the information above and can't give my opinion of the end of blooming. I bet it doesn't be ugly... but my opinion doesn't count because you know that I love flowers, a lot!
In the first photo you can see few little flowers still alive, in the second they already fade.

A big part of the Babberspolder quarter in Vlaardingen is renewed. Older apartment blocks and houses from the 50s are demolished and new ones erected. Although it is now a nice place to live I find the renewal a bit to much. In my opinion it was nicer that they had kept some of the old buildings as a historic layer. Now it looks as a standerd new housing estate. The church in the centre of the picture is one of the few things they have kept.
An opinion on how to light the Pinnacles was agreed upon by all in attendance on this magical evening at the Trona Pinnacles.
Swallowing a meal for the great egret (Ardea alba) involves flicking its food into the air followed by a gulp.
The two egret images are taken in the same location (a small pond at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge) but on different days. It is possible it is the same bird, but not guaranteed because we have seen as many as 8 great egrets at once in this location.
I went with two images because they tell different parts of the same story. I think I like the "kerplunk" one better because of the fat water droplets frozen in time and the mirror like reflection, but I also do like the action shot "bottoms up". Let me know if you have an opinion!
Hello my Flickr friends!
Another Monday and another red day at Color My World Daily Group. And the theme at Macro Mondays is: on a coin. I must admit that this was by far the most rules exhaustive theme.
And since I’m collecting coins (yes, if you don’t know yet; I’m a hoarder … but I have other charming qualities which makes me an unique and lovable hoarder, at least it is what I like to think about myself…), I decided to go with an old 10 French francs coin. The main raison is that I’m very nostalgic about French francs era but also because they have a very beautiful words written on the edge, which makes them very interesting.
I choose the word “égalité”, which means equality. In my opinion it is a little bit ironic since money is about everything except equality, don’t you think ?…It is like this funeral home advertisement we had here in Montreal, few years ago, begging us to be careful and stay well during holidays … Do you feel the irony here?? But in the case of 10 French Francs it is a French national motto. The whole inscription is: Liberté, Fraternité, Égalité.
My main subject standing on my 10 Francs coin is my tiny red pencil (once again this is a part of another growing collection of tiny pencils... #hoarderlife). It is a few millimeters smaller than the coin diameter (2,5cm).
And since we all know by now that money, doesn't grow on trees (raise your hand if your parents were saying that exact phrase, it exists even in Polish !!!), I have to run to my office!! Another video meeting and then I will start my day of money making at home!
P.S I think that the phrase "money doesn't grow on trees" should be written on the edge of coins worldwide, as a motto for all kids to learn !!! Who is with me on that one ?
Have an amazing Monday my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
Paradójicamente, dijo Nietzsche, esta búsqueda insistente de la verdad, este escepticismo a ultranza, es un legado del cristianismo (por razones complejas en las que no nos entretendremos aquí). Luego añadió una última y quizá primordial ironía en unas notas fragmentarias en un cuaderno poco antes de perder la razón (debido al gran flagelo del siglo XIX, la sífilis). Predijo que, tarde o temprano, la ciencia moderna dirigiría la poderosa fuerza del escepticismo contra sí misma, cuestionaría la validez de sus propios cimientos, los derribaría y se destruiría. Recordé esas palabras en el verano de 1994, cuando un grupo de matemáticos e informáticos organizaron un congreso en el Santa Fe Institute sobre los límites del conocimiento científico. La opinión generalizada era que, dado que la mente humana no es más que un aparato físico, un tipo de ordenador, el producto de una historia genética determinada, sus capacidades son limitadas. Por lo tanto, es probable que nunca llegue a comprender por completo la existencia humana. Sería como si un grupo de perros organizara un congreso para tratar de entender a El Perro. Por mucho que se esforzaran, no llegarían muy lejos. Los perros pueden comunicar únicamente unas cuarenta ideas, todas ellas primitivas, y son incapaces de documentar nada. El proyecto estaría condenado de antemano. El cerebro humano, aunque muy superior al de los perros, también es limitado. En consecuencia, no cabe la posibilidad de que los seres humanos lleguen a una teoría definitiva, completa y acotada de la existencia humana.

Peace is liberty in tranquility.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.

Peace can become a lens through which you see the world. Be it. Live it. Radiate it out. Peace is an inside job.
Wayne Dyer
Peace begins with a smile.

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.

Welcome to Lecce the Baroque wonder of Apulia and depending on where you find parking this may be the first sight to greet you not Baroque itself but hinting at the wonderfully elegant viewing experience that awaits you.
The city gate pictured here is called Porto Napoli and was built to honor Charles V the Holy Roman Emperor of the day on his visit to the city, the gate itself was modeled after the Roman triumphant arches and certainly cast an impressive figure I am sure Charles was suitably impressed I know I was.
Lecce is well know to Italians but a hidden gem from tourists that flock the more well known parts of Italy which is not a shame in my opinion the city while filed with visitors during the high season doesn’t have that touristy feel and provides an authentic experience for those looking for one, I selfishly hope it remains somewhat unknown.
I took this on Sept 24, 2016 with my D750 and Nikon 24-85 f3.5-4.5 Lens at 24mm 1/50s f/18 ISO 360 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

On the day, this was the best performing loco in my opinion, lots of steam exhaust and sound, a gutsy engine.
In Piombino, Tuscany, lies one of the largest and most beautiful seaside squares in Italy, and, in the opinion of many, in Europe. Piazza Giovanni Bovio is a unique example of a square jutting out into the sea, almost touching the island of Elba. From here, the view sweeps across the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, from Giglio to Montecristo, Capraia, and Corsica.
So I bought at LeLutka Skyler head to try out. I'm not sure I like it really. There's not a lot of options on the head for makeup and it's a pain in the ass to deal with all the alphas. I had to make a new shape just to work with the head. I made sure to save all my old stuff with new names so I can just pop back to catwa. Opinions?
These modernised houses/buildings dominate the east side of Great Fryup Dale at this point and have been superbly finished. I'm not sure though they represent the ethos and character of the dale. Just my opinion.
Fryup is separated into two small valleys or dales: Great Fryup Dale and Little Fryup Dale. The majority of people live in Great Fryup Dale. It is located in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park
The curious name Fryup probably derives from the Old English reconstruction *Frige-hop: Frige was an Anglo-Saxon goddess equated with the Old Norse Frigg; hop denoted a small valley
Opinions about Favoriten, Vienna's 10th district, are divided: those who live there think it's great, those who don't turn up their noses. I have lived in the corner house in the middle for twelve years.
If you want to get an impression of this friendly, vibrant, and colourful district, but which also has its gloomy side, just have a look at the album I created about it!
After heavy rain, a puddle formed at the base of this palm frond. By photographing it from this POV, I was able to get another frond reflected in the pool. In my opinion, the overall image resembles a bug-eyed Dr Seuss character,

RIP Sacha, tragically taken away from us today due to cancer aged 7
Sacha had been treated for bronchitis for 12 weeks at the Vets, but sadly
after a second opinion from another veterinary surgeon, was sent for an x-ray and found to have cancer of the lungs and brain.
Sacha was my daughters dog, we bought Sacha and Sheena together, to beautiful sisters, they have always had a strong bond from being puppies.
even though simple and down-to-earth the influence of art nouveau ist still recognizable ...
a dream of a staircase in my humble opinion ... ;-)

Thai people have always been known to have great respect for old values such as the proper ways a woman should act. The prim and proper ways of a true lady who stays at home spending all her time taking care of children, cook wonderful meals and can make the most marvelous flower creations. These values make Thai women, especially in the area where education is less important than everyday survival, underestimate themselves. We are stronger and we have more impact on society, more than we thought we had. Our opinions matter too and we definitely know more than just the best deals at the supermarket.
It's true that we can't change society and its values overnight but what we can do is to start within ourselves, build confidence within us through knowledge and be the best version of ourselves that we know we could be.

Gonna try to go live on Instagram (21st_Century_Brick) tomorrow, so look out for that. I'll probably do some painting and combos, and answer some questions if you have them.
The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather. This species has rarely been observed in Europe. This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturæ in 1758 as Turdus polyglottos. The northern mockingbird is renowned for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, 'many-tongued mimic.' The northern mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its wings have white patches which are visible in flight.
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land. The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. It is replaced further south by its closest living relative, the tropical mockingbird. The Socorro mockingbird, an endangered species, is also closely related, contrary to previous opinion. The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence and has also been noted in North American culture. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. Finally, the mockingbird has influenced United States culture in multiple ways. The bird is a State bird of 5 states, has been used in book titles, and has also been used in popular songs and lullabies among other appearances in U.S. culture.

Fear
I Feared …
I feared being alone
Until I learned to like Myself.
I feared failure
Until I realized that I only Fail when I don't try.
I feared success
Until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself.
I feared people's opinions
Until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway.
I feared rejection
Until I learned to have faith in myself.
I feared pain
Until I learned that it's necessary for growth
I feared the truth
Until I saw the ugliness in lies.
I feared life
Until I experienced its beauty .
I feared death
Until I realized that it's not an end, but a beginning.
I feared my destiny,
Until I realized that I had the power to change my life.
I feared hate
Until I saw that it was nothing more than ignorance.
I feared love
Until it touched my heart, making the darkness fade into endless sunny days.
Until I learned how to laugh at myself.
I feared growing old
Until I realized that I gained wisdom every day.
I feared the future
Until I realized that Life just kept getting better.
I feared the past
Until I realized that It could no longer hurt me.
I feared the dark
Until I saw the beauty of the starlight.
I feared the light
Until I learned that the Truth would give me Strength.
I feared change,
Until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo a Metamorphosis before it could fly.

Tremezzo, in my opinion, although it is a small commune with little more than 1300 inhabitants, has a more urban aspect, perhaps by the greater circulation of cars in the edge along the lake.
Very frequented by tourists, it has wonderful hotels, but its main attraction is Vila Carlota, a beautiful palace transformed into a museum, with a grandiose garden, in fact a small Botanical Garden given to the incredible variety of flowers, including several from a climate tropical, like orchids, bromeliads, cacti, succulents. A lovely surprise indeed.
For now some pictures of Tremezzo only;)
