Stakeholder launch event at the Openshaw Campus of Manchester College to show off the new sports and construction facilities. Picture by Paul Heyes, Wednesday December 01, 2021.
This labourer (I believe him to be a city counsil labourer) was brushing up this plot of land with a broom with hard bristles.I did not get the point of it exactly, but there must have been some purpose to it.
The plot of land had been full of rubble.It had become a dumping site for peoples wastage and you know how people are don't you ;-) ?? Put one plastic bag filled with garbage somewhere on an empty spot that's miles away from civilization and not long before you know it, it becomes a dumping site !
Then these guys come along to clean it all up again.Talking 'bout economic progress hu.

201 años dempués de la declaración de soberanía de 1808 Fai! quixo recordar esti 25 de mayu como'l día nacional d'Asturies. Pa ello, entamóse una folixa que cuntó con un recital poéticu, la ellaboración d'un mural y un conciertu con 4 grupos asturianos que punxeron la banda sonora a una xornada reivindicativa pola soberanía popular asturiana.
Más d’un cientu de persones participaron esti sábadu 23 na I Folixa Nacional entamada por Fai! como reivindicación y celebración del Día de la Nación Asturiana, recuerdu de la xornada qu’abre la historia contemporánea d’Asturies, el 25 de mayu de 1808, día de la declaración de soberanía de la Xunta Xeneral.
Doscientos ún años depués d’esti fechu y de la creación de la bandera asturiana, la organización d'esquierda soberanista Fai! quixo ufrir un menú folixeru y combativu nel marcu del CSOA La Reflexón. Abriendo les actividaes, Sergio Gutiérrez Camblor, Carlos Suari, Pablo X. Suárez, Xabel Vegas y Xandru Fernández protagonizaron el recital poéticu “Poetes agresivos (disparen les sos obres contra los que se duermen)”, onde tuvo bien presente, de la mano de los sos versos, la crítica social y la ironía más característica de cinco poetes que representaron na Folixa’l presente y el futuru de la lliteratura nacional, al tiempu que nes paredes se proyectaben imáxenes subversives qu'afalaben l'ambiente combativu del recital.
De siguío, dellos artistes plásticos emprimaben a diseñar un mural que tenía la histórica fras como protagonista: “Asturies enxamás vencida”.
Dientro del CSOA, organización, delles puestos de material y músicos ultimaben tolos detalles pa que dende les siete y media, la música entamara a sonar na I Folixa Nacional con un escenariu enllenu d'asturines y de banderes d'otros pueblos en llucha como les de los Països Catalans, Castiella, el País Llionés, Andalucía, Euskal Herria, Palestina...K-Nalón yera’l grupu encargáu de romper el silenciu col so rap dinamiteru 100% n’asturianu.
Darréu Arma X y 13 Palabras xubíen al escenariu de La Reflexón pa que la revolución de rimes nun aparara.Metanes l'actuación, una pancarta xubió al escenariu pa denunciar la illegalización de les idées y pola derogación de la llei de partíos.
Al finar esta actuación los sones reivindicativos dexaron pasu al actu políticu, onde militantes de Fai! lleeron un manifiestu en favor del 25 de mayu como día nacional d'Asturies. Enantes, un representante del Comité de Sofitu a Iniciativa Internacionalista n'Asturies, que llamentablemente foi la única organización qu'acudió a la llamada que dende Fai! se ficiere a los partíos de la izquierda nacional asturiana pa dicir unes pallabres, agradeció'l convite y presentó la campaña que ta desendolcando'l comité nesti país, a pesar de les torgues y la criminalización que careció y carez esta y otres munches opciones polítiques d'esquierda soberanista nel estáu español.
Na segunda metada del conciertu Vinagre de Sidra abría capítulu pa les guitarres y el rock, que yá na fin de la nueche diba zarrar Gomeru, depués de cinco hores de música dende la trinchera más reivindicativa del país.
Dende Fai! nun queremos que s'escaeza la nuestra historia, la historia d'un pueblu combativu que siempre supo tar a l'altura de les circunstancies. Güei tócanos a nosotres y nosotros, les y los asturianes y asturianos del sieglu XXI siguir na llucha en busca de la soberanía popular d'Asturies.

I've been away from Flickr for a little while. Things got busy at work again, and the part of my brain that is interested in photography sort of switched off. I think that part of my brain is starting to reboot now, so I expect to be returning gradually.
There are numerous other photos of this sign (and of one just like it over by Brightleaf) on Flickr from other Durham-area photographers. Here's mine. The signs have been there for years, so I figure the Brain Repair session probably took place in November 2004.
This was taken back in late February with the Electro 35 GSN. Though there's no evidence of it on this shot, the light seals on that camera were starting to get pretty badly deteriorated, so I decided that in addition to having the light seals replaced I'd treat it to a full CLA. I expect to be getting the camera back in the mail any day now, good as new and ready to produce fine photos for another 40 years or so.

The Battistero (Baptistery) di San Giovanni is located in front of Florence’s Cathedral or Duomo, la Cattedrale di Santa Maria dei Fiore. The Baptistery is a Romanesque octagonal structure with three sets of double bronze doors. The commission for the first set of doors was awarded to Pisano in 1330 and they were completed in 1336. The Pisano doors were originally located on the east side of the Baptistery. In 1452, the doors were moved to the south side. In 1401, the guild of wool merchants called the Arte di Calimala announced a competition for the second set of doors. The competitors were to prepare a bronze panel depicting Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac. Among the panels submitted to the competition were one by Filippo Brunelleschi (seen here), another by Lorenzo Ghiberti (also included in this set) and five others now lost to history. The panel created by Brunelleschi depicts the strong Abraham holding his son, Isaac, by the throat with his left hand as he is about to slash his throat with a dagger held in his right hand. The angel reaches out and grabs Abraham’s hand before the mortal slash is rendered. The ram stuck in the thicket lies in front of Isaac. In addition, two servants and a donkey are at the bottom of the panel. Brunelleschi’s work is by far more dramatic and disturbing, all angles and movement and raw emotion, like nothing that had ever been created before. The judges had a very difficult time in selecting the winner between Brunelleschi, Ghiberti and the five other participants. Ultimately, the judges declared a tie between Brunelleschi and Ghiberti, and suggested that they both work on the doors as partners. Brunelleschi would have none of it and withdrew. His ego so badly damaged that he did not create any other sculpture during his career. Instead, he pursued a career in architecture, and figured out how to build the dome for Baptistery’s neighbor the Duomo. “Today, the panels by Ghiberti and Brunelleschi hang side by side on a wall in the Bargello. Neither panel was ever used in the doors. Instead, the two panels hang together as a tribute to two of the world’s greatest artists.

The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, better known as the 'Big Mac' Bridge due to its golden yellow arches, connects Interstate 71 in downtown Cincinnati to Kentucky. The bridge is named after the founder of the Boy Scouts, who was born and raised nearby. However, many locals, including traffic reporters, ignore the bridge's official name and instead call it "The Big Mac Bridge".
Right-of-way acquisition for the bridge began in January 1968, and construction began on the Ohio River crossing in November 1971. The still-unnamed bridge opened to limited traffic in September 1976. The name of the new bridge was announced on October 5, 1976, the choice being to name the bridge after Daniel Carter Beard, in honor of the founder of the Boy Scouts of America. The Scouts had lobbied hard for the bridge to carry Beard's name, with some paddling down the Ohio and Kentucky rivers to carry petitions to the governor in Frankfort. The Ohio River span and a short section of highway were dedicated on February 14, 1977, with Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown leading the dedication ceremonies.
The bridge is the easternmost of the city's downtown bridge group.
I recently purchased my first lens with VR. I bought it to replace one that I broke. Note to self: don’t let your *#@$&% tripod fall over with your camera on it. Going into further detail would just make me feel like a jackass. Anyway, this is one of my first attempts at shooting handheld using the VR. I’m one of those photographers who has a tripod surgically attached at the hip, so this is a stretch for me. The bumblebees were buzzing around the first open blooms on the bluebells, so I thought I would take a shot at it. I must say, I was fairly impressed. I took several shots, and the bees were in sharp focus in most of them. It was fascinating to watch them as they crawled inside the few bluebell blooms that were completely open.

teatro filorosso

E' nata una nuova Creatura Artistica: Filorosso - officina di teatro e delle arti espressive.
Vi aspettiamo per la partenza dei nuovi corsi teatrali e per iniziare insieme questa magnifica avventura artistica :-)
Il teatro è l’unione di tanti fili rossi…
grandi, piccoli…
fili intersecati gli uni negli altri…
fili che hanno vita, che creano movimenti, forme e colori nello spazio….
Il Filorosso nasconde in sé tanti significati …il coraggio, l’azione, la volontà, l’amore, il conflitto, la consapevolezza, l’inconscio, la forza, la rab...bia, la passione, i legami, il contatto, l’energia…
Avvicinarsi al teatro vuol dire andare a cercare, scoprire, guardare quel sottile filo rosso che ognuno di noi ha in sé…
…Filo che tiene unito tutto come mani intrecciate in un girotondo…
The excavations of Pompeii is the only archaeological site in the world, along with that of Herculaneum, capable of returning visitors to a Roman town, whose life has remained firm to a distant morning in 79 AD, an era from which the Vesuvius decided to cancel by earth orbit. The town owes its exceptional state of preservation to the way in which it was buried. Source: www.pompeiturismo.it

The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC and was captured by the Romans in 80 BC. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was probably approximately 20,000, with a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium and a port. Source: en.wikipedia.org

This is a quick snapshot from the top of the tram at Heavenly ski resort in South Lake Tahoe, California. To the right of the photo is the tram and behind the tram is State line to Nevada and the Casinos. For those of you that have been to Lake Tahoe, I am on the top of the ski slope you see well from the casinos and the entire south lake area. The more skiable is even farther up the hill behind me. The gondola that heads up the mountain from the casino area is further up the hill to my right. This is the only ski resort in the nation that covers 2 states. Ski from California to Nevada and then back again. I may post some other snapshots from the top of the mountain later. Yes, I am on my skis taking this photo.
Heavenly Mountain Resort is a ski resort located on the California-Nevada border in South Lake Tahoe. It has 97 runs and 30 lifts that are spread between California and Nevada and four base facilities. The resort has 4,800 acres (19 km²) permit, with approximately 33% developed for skiing, making it the largest ski resort, by area, in California (Mammoth Mountain Ski Area is larger in trail-marked, skiable terrain). It is also Tahoe's highest ski resort, with a peak elevation of 10,067 ft (3,068 m) and a peak lift-service elevation of 10,040 ft (3,060 m) and a vertical rise of 3,500 feet (1067 m). With an average of 360 inches (9 m) of snow annually and one of America's largest snowmaking systems, their season usually runs from mid November to late April or early May.[dubious – discuss] The resort was purchased by Vail Resorts, Inc. in 2002. The 2008-2009 season had been set to begin on November 21st, 2008 but was delayed to November 28th due to weather conditions. ~Wikipedia

Foto de la KDD de ayer. Quería poner una y me quedo con ésta, en la que nuestro amigo Germán parece estar fotografiando al infinito. (Mis mejores deseos para Carmen y para él en su andadura personal). La hice cuando estábamos subidos en el tren infantil (por cierto, el único hombre que se atrevió) pero ellos se lo perdieron, jaja…
Ha sido mi segunda KDD. Nos hizo buena tarde y, aunque las manos se nos quedaban heladas sentíamos en el corazón el calor de saberse con amig@s. Ya puedo poner cara a más flicker@s. Pasamos un rato estupendo. Graci, te echamos de menos, tenías motivos para no venir y sé que tú también lo sentiste. Alguno llegó tarde porque le tocó fregar pero el rato que estuvo lo disfrutamos bien, lo que nos hiciste reir con tus chistes, Pirus!
FELICES DÍAS para tod@s. Y gracias por compartir vuestro tiempo (una de las cosas más valiosas que tenemos). Un abrazo.
"Always Tomorrow"
performed/written: Gloria Estefan
I've been alone inside myself far too long
I never really wanted it that way but I let it happen
If I could do it all again
My life would be
Infinitely better than before
I wouldn't waste a moment
Make time for laughing with my friends
Make love make music make amends
Try to make a difference
Try to love
Try to understand
Instead of just giving up
I'd use the power at my command
But there's always tomorrow
To start over again
Things will never stay the same
The only one sure thing is change
That's why there's always tomorrow
I guess it took a little time for me to see
The reason I was born into this world
and what I'd have to go through
Before I finally realize that I could be
Infinitely better than before, definitely stronger
I'll face whatever comes my way
Savor each moment of the day
Love as many people as I can along the way
Help someone who's given up
If its just to raise my eyes and pray
(chorus)
Before your last setting sun
And everything your heart has longed for
Has yet to be won
Yes there's always always always tomorrow
Though people come and they go
But if you've brought some love to their lives
Then you've got something to show
Always tomorrow

This dress is the ugliest dress I have ever bought. I liked the style but hated the pattern. Anyways, when I wore it....my aunt just loved it. I thought it was cute. She said it reminded her of a blouse she made with almost the same pattern. Just thought I'd share that with you.
Texture and thanks to: night-fate-stock.deviantart.com/art/a-brown-texture-10269...
So here we are :)
Today (not really "today" because i'm writing this description a day after the shot...) i explored the awesome set 1000 Faces of Eliza[beth] Grace (below you can find the links...) and i was so excited about her incredible shots that i wanted to do one like her.
This is Pam, after a little photo session in my bedroom :) She doesn't likes too much the usual "do this", "smile like this", "move", "try to be more expressive..." but this is what we got at the end of the session.
I'm very happy/proud of the result. I used a little lamp in total darkness to lighten up her face from right. What do you think of the shot?
This is a small tribute to Eliza[beth] Grace and to her incredible set 1000 Faces :)

A cidade de São Paulo comemora 455 anos e ganha um presente do artista plástico e muralista Eduardo Kobra. Trata-se do maior mural em grafitti numa via pública da cidade, com cerca de 1.000 metros quadrados, está sendo produzido em uma das principais avenidas, a 23 de Maio. O artista e sua equipe do Studio Kobra estão reproduzindo imagens da cidade de São Paulo do início do século passado, criando mais um mural dentro do projeto Muro das Memórias, criado pelo artista em 2007.
O mural na avenida 23 de Maio será entregue no dia do aniversário da cidade: 25 de janeiro e foi autorizado pela prefeitura do Município, através do Secretário das subprefeituras Andréa Matarazzo. Para a produção do mural Kobra usa seus próprios recursos: “sou entusiasta da arte de rua e estou patrocinando sozinho o meu próprio mural”, diz o artista, que sonha com o apoio de empresas para dar continuidade ao projeto Muro das Memórias em outros pontos da cidade com a autorização da prefeitura.

2008 Year of the frog
Amphibians are declining rapidly; species, genera, and even families are going extinct at an unprecedented rate. One third to one half of all amphibian species are threatened with extinction, with probably more than 120 already gone in recent years. Habitat loss is the major threat in terms of number of species affected, but the rapid dispersal of amphibian chytrid fungus is of major and urgent concern because of its tendency to drive species to extinction quickly. Scientists believe many more species may go extinct before we are able to act. But there is one option currently available which can save hundreds or even thousands of species if we act rapidly: captive survival assurance populations. Zoos, aquaria, and botanical gardens play a crucial role in this solution, as they can provide ex-situ breeding grounds for the immediate conservation action needed before hundreds of species disappear.

2008 Ano da Rã
Os anfíbios têm tido um rápido declínio; espécies géneros e até famílias tem sido extintas a uma taxa sem precedentes. De um terço à metade das espécies de anfíbios estão ameaçadas de extinção, sendo que provavelmente mais de 120 já desapareceram. A perda de habitat é a maior ameaça em termos do número de espécies afectadas, mas a rápida dispersão do fungo da quitridiomicose é de maior e urgente preocupação, pois sua tendência é levar as espécies à extinção rapidamente. Cientistas acreditam que muitas espécies ainda serão extintas antes que sejamos capazes de agir. Porém, existe uma opção disponível que pode salvar centenas ou até mesmo milhares de espécies se agirmos rapidamente: assegurar a sobrevivência de populações em cativeiro. Zoológicos, aquários e jardins botânicos tem um papel crucial nesta solução, pois podem actuar como centros de reprodução ex-situ para a acção de conservação imediata, necessária antes que centenas de espécies desapareçam.

The American Chestnut is a large, deciduous tree of the beech family native to eastern North America. Before the species was devastated by the chestnut blight, a fungal disease, it was one of the most important forest trees throughout its range. There are now very few mature specimens of the tree within its historical range, although many small sprouts of the former live trees remain.

The Stadium Business Design and Development Summit, Emirates Old Trafford, Manchetser. Award winners. Picture by Paul Heryes, Tuesday November 29, 2022.
During my lunch hour today I wandered down to the Water of Leith for some dipper shots. Got a few okay ones but mostly throwaway. On my way back to the office my attention was drawn to loud chirping in the trees at Belford Road and to my delight around 6 Long-tailed tits were hopping about. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two land on a nearby branch and one of them began hanging upside down. It took a second to realise that it was dangling helplessly because its wing had somehow got stuck. Now that I've scrutinised the shots, it would appear that the wing is literally glued to the end of the branch where some sap is.
The poor thing dangled helplessly as the rain started and the wind picked up. Other long-tails landed beside it and looked down in what appeared to be a show of concern. They certainly knew something was wrong. There was lots of anxious tweeting. Eventually the bird managed to pull itself up enough to start pulling away at its wing feather. To no avail at first, and I really thought it was going to end up dying there.
But the story has a happy ending as the wee thing eventually managed to rip its wing free, with minimal damage it would appear. I hope so anyway!
Does anyone know if this is a common occurence. I'm aware that tree sap is extremely sticky and could act like a sort of glue to a delicate feather but surely this kind of thing doesn't happen too often.

I originally had another plan for tonight's photo. This was quite random, shooting at 10pm. It's interesting how creativity can kick in and ideas come to mind when left to your own devices... The title of this photo comes from a very touching song by the band Oceana called The Spine Collection- www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyOei4RkxQQ
The old ways always get at me
Throwing myself on the floor when I'm empty
Call me I'm falling in front of a demon possessing me
Making me talk
My throat gets rid of a part of me
Anxiety could end it all
Physically I've found that I'll stay the same
And you all should have nothing to say
Was afraid of living alone
You could of changed it
They could have saved us
I need something to fill in the hole
I was afraid of living alone
You could of changed it
They could saved us
I need something to fill in the hole
How pathetic my face is allergic
And everything my spine gives
Wanna get rid of it
When there's something saddening
The room writes a scene
I could not exist I want to get rid of it
The patches that hold my blood in
I've invented a new sin
The whole world takes part of it
In learning I'll love him
Right now he does not exist
Till then I'll be over it
It's one thing I'll never miss
And I'll never find a way to be happy
When there's no one here no one here that's like me
No one here that's like me
And I'll never find a way to be happy
When there's no one here no one here that's like me
No one here that's like me
I was afraid of living alone
You could of changed it
They could saved us
I need something to fill in the hole
I was afraid of living alone
You could of changed it
They could saved us
I need something to fill in the hole
I was afraid of living alone
