One of the photo I have taken of Mahmoud while he was working, those three photos I have submitted into a photo competition, on of them was selected as a winning photo.
There is a wonderful book by photographer David Lubbers that I highly recommend entitled “Persistence of Vision” in which the artist pairs photographs that he made years apart that show that he is seeing in the same way over time. I find this is true of my photographs as well ... on review ... images that are taken years apart appear to have a strong relationship in composition, light, texture, perspective, etc. even though it is not a conscious effort. I suppose this should not be surprising but it always makes me a little more thoughtful about my photography when I make the observation. The photos below were taken earlier, each about a year apart, and in different parts of the world. Although, in this case, they are all fundamentally abstracts, I can find these same photographic qualities, shapes, tones, and textures framed in some of my landscapes as well.

"Stubborn Persistence" by Alfredo Hlito.
Part of a special exhibition of works of Alfredo Hlito from July 28, 2023 to October 21, 2023.
When the conditions are favorable and allow for a pretty solid chance of capturing a great image you’ll find me out shooting the night sky. I always head out with high hopes knowing that I ......

A melting arrow, as homage to "the persistence of memory" (famous melting clocks) by Salvador Dali. ;-) Taken at Kenko-No-Mori Park, Kagoshima.
健康の森公園でジョギングコースの走行方向を示す剥がれかけた矢印を見て，ダリの「記憶の固執」という作品の有名な溶ける時計を思い出して，「方向の固執」というタイトルをでっちあげました．;-)
A juniper thrives amid the spatter from one of Capulin's vents. The Boca Trail highlights the geology of Capulin Volcano.
Lichen love the volcanic rocks here. The "bushes" in the foreground are mostly Gambel oak.
“In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins. Not through strength, but through persistence.”

Study of the day:
"La synthèse en général, ..., est le simple effet de l'imagination, c'est-à-dire d'une fonction de l'âme, aveugle mais indispensable, sans laquelle nous n'aurions aucune espèce de connaissance, mais dont nous n'avons que très rarement conscience. Mais l'acte qui consiste à ramener cette synthèse à des concepts est une fonction qui appartient à l'entendement, et par laquelle il nous procure la connaissance dans le sens propre de ce mot."
"The synthesis in general, ..., is the simple effect of the imagination, that is to say, a function of the soul, blind but necessary, without which we would have no kind of knowledge, but that we have only very rarely conscious. But the act that consists in bringing this synthesis to concepts is a function that belongs to the understanding, and which gives us knowledge in the proper sense of this word."
( Emmanuel Kant - Critique de la raison pure )

I keep updating my gratitude file even when november is over

Cyclamen persicum is a perennial, herbaceous plant that reaches heights of about 32 cm (13 in). Wild plants have heart-shaped, fleshy leaves, up to 14 cm (6 in) usually green with lighter markings on the upper surface. The leaf underside may be pale green or reddish. The leaf margin is slightly thickened and usually serrated. As a storage and persistence organ, C. persicum forms a perennial hypocotyl tuber. It arises solely through a thickening of the hypocotyl, the shoot axis area between the root neck and the first cotyledon. The rounded, slightly flattened tuber is about 4 to 15 cm or more in diameter. It is of corky consistency. The roots spring from the underside, and the tops of the spirally arranged, long-stalked leaves of the plant spring from the top.
Church of St Sylvester, Chivelstone Devon is now the religious centre of this coastal parish known as Prawle point which is situated at the most southerly point in Devon and also incluldes the villages of South Allington, Ford, Lannacombe & East Prawle.
Mentioned as Cheveletone in the 1086 Domesday Survey, the Lord of the Manor was then Juhel de Totnes who was granted many manors in the south-west by William the Conqueror and who founded Totnes Priory in c.1087 but who , after the king's death , was expelled by his successor.
There was a chapelry here by the end of the 13c, attached to the parish of Stokenham held by Totnes Priory.
The church now consists of chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch, embattled three stage west tower with 5-sided stair turret on the south side , holding 5 bells, and is mainly Perpendicular in style.
The present building was constructed in the early 15c , though the chancel may be 14c, and enlarged with the rebuilding of the aisled nave, tower & porch in mid-16c.
It is the only one in Devon dedicated to Pope Sylvester who died in 325AD
Inside is a wonderful early 15c rood screen with painted saints www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/5d01WbJ7P4 & a
later c1480 fine matching painted medieval pulpit hollowed out of the trunk of a large oak tree www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/aCN1aNhKqJ
The registers date from 1630.
It was restored in 1897 but by the beginning of this century was badly in need of further extensive restoration.
The PCC also hoped to create a space that could be used more widely by the community as well as bringing in revenue to help make it more sustainable in the future - this in addition to providing better facilities for the loyal congregation.
Having been unsuccessful with previous grants the Church worked hard with the active support of Le Page Architects, to win a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The final interview for the grant on zoom released £400,000 during the 2020 lockdown, this supplemented with other fundraising for the match funding. There is an explanatory video that explains the project here: eastprawlehistorysociety.co.uk/church-repair-project
Work was done during 2021. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0xs1N7-DnU
There have been interesting complications around structural and conservation repair, entailing 8m deep low impact piles to support the south porch, as well as repair to a reed reinforced plaster ceiling. Extensive repointing, upgrade of rainwater goods, other repairs to lead roof, and stonework repair to decayed windows has formed the majority of the external work.
Interior works are wide ranging, involving the installation of an accessible lavatory unusually with a shower. This is so that the Church may be used for overnight accommodation for walkers and tourists champing.co.uk. Grant of consent to allow for a shower was extremely hard won but eventually allowed. A bespoke hideaway kitchen offers simple catering for a variety of events.
Conservation work to the medieval pulpit was one of the highlights of the project and remains of late 17c / early 18c wall paintings have been found under layers of whitewash,
In the graveyard are numerous graves dating from 1712 , many to those who lost their lives in ships wrecked throughout the centuries,
In his book “Kingsbridge and its Surroundings” (1874) S P Fox wrote bout the wreck of the Gossamer:“A China tea clipper ship, of 735 tons register, was wrecked in December, 1868 and 13 lives were lost. There was a strong South-wrest breeze, and a heavy sea… The Captain was seen to lash his bride of just two weeks to a spar in the hope that she would stay afloat. For a time the two of them clung to the storm tossed bit of wood until the sea took them in its cold embrace…”

I'm glad to be back! I had to take a few weeks off for a bad bought with sciatica. This means no getting out there with my new photography friends and taking pictures or even checking in with you all on Flickr. I've missed you and your gorgeous art but for today, I'm back!
This is a flower in my gazebo garden. Took everything in me to get out there before I missed it all but I did it. Therefore, this one is called Persistence. I hope you like.
Όμορφo, βροχερό πρωινό.
Καλημερουθκια από ένα εξαιρετικό μάστρο αποφασιστικότητας και αυτό-θεραπείας.
A wet rainy day, eucalyptus aroma,
breathing cleansed.
Have a glorious day, from a great master of persistence and
self-healing.

Sand Tufa, Mono Lake, California
These remarkable formations of calcified sand persist in spite of their very delicate makeup. Tufa all formed underwater and were exposed when the water level was dropped to satisfy the thirsty Los Angeles basin. They are a favorite of photographers -- but these particular examples are often overlooked. It's not easy to tell from this image, but this cluster of tufa are less than 2 feet tall. I'm astonished they persist because they're crumble between your fingers if you touch them. Monochrome reveals the grain of the sand and hilight the clouds above.
Thanks for your visit!
