Manhattan, often referred to locally as the City, is the most densely populated of the five boroughs of New York City and its economic and administrative center, cultural identifier, and historical birthplace. The borough is coextensive with New York County, one of the original counties of the U.S. state of New York. The borough consists mostly of Manhattan Island, bounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers; several small adjacent islands; and Marble Hill, a small neighborhood now on the U.S. mainland, physically connected to the Bronx and separated from the rest of Manhattan by the Harlem River. Manhattan Island is divided into three informally bounded components, each aligned with the borough's long axis: Lower, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan.
Manhattan has been described as the cultural, financial, media, and entertainment capital of the world, and the borough hosts the United Nations Headquarters. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world, and Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization: the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Many multinational media conglomerates are based in Manhattan, and the borough has been the setting for numerous books, films, and television shows. Manhattan real estate has since become among the most expensive in the world, with the value of Manhattan Island, including real estate, estimated to exceed US$3 trillion in 2013; median residential property sale prices in Manhattan approximated US$1,600 per square foot ($17,000/m2) as of 2018, with Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan commanding the highest retail rents in the world, at US$3,000 per square foot ($32,000/m2) in 2017.
Manhattan traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. Manhattan is historically documented to have been purchased by Dutch colonists from Native Americans in 1626 for 60 guilders, which equals roughly $1038 in current terms. The territory and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York, based in present-day Manhattan, served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the Americas by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a world symbol of the United States and its ideals of liberty and peace. Manhattan became a borough during the consolidation of New York City in 1898.
New York County is the United States' second-smallest county by land area (larger only than Kalawao County, Hawaii), and is also the most densely populated U.S. county. It is also one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a census-estimated 2017 population of 1,664,727 living in a land area of 22.83 square miles (59.13 km2), or 72,918 residents per square mile (28,154/km2), higher than the density of any individual U.S. city. On business days, the influx of commuters increases this number to over 3.9 million, or more than 170,000 people per square mile (65,600/km2). Manhattan has the third-largest population of New York City's five boroughs, after Brooklyn and Queens, and is the smallest borough in terms of land area. Manhattan Island is often informally divided into three areas, each aligned with its long axis: Lower, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan.
Many districts and landmarks in Manhattan are well known, as New York City received a record 62.8 million tourists in 2017, and Manhattan hosts three of the world's 10 most-visited tourist attractions in 2013: Times Square, Central Park, and Grand Central Terminal. The borough hosts many prominent bridges, such as the Brooklyn Bridge; skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building; and parks, such as Central Park. Chinatown incorporates the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere, and the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, part of the Stonewall National Monument, is considered the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement. The City of New York was founded at the southern tip of Manhattan, and the borough houses New York City Hall, the seat of the city's government. Numerous colleges and universities are located in Manhattan, including Columbia University, New York University, Cornell Tech, Weill Cornell Medical College, and Rockefeller University, which have been ranked among the top 40 in the

While preparing to leave a photography location in the evening, I noticed a few rabbits grazing at edge of the parking lot. Small mammals such as rabbits are often very skittish, and I was also physically exhausted after a very long day of extreme photography, but I stayed true to my philosophy of giving everything 110% effort. I believe when you give that extra 10% of effort or patience, magical things often happen.
So I put my camo jacket, facemask, and gloves on, snuck out a ways and got prone on the ground with my Skimmer Pod. Shortly after, the animals proceeded to graze closer and closer to me. Eventually a rabbit go so close to me that its head filled the frame and my lens could no longer focus on it.
It was a fun and exciting experience to be in their world, at close range, and I am extremely pleased with the resulting image.

Pigeons are some of the smartest, most physically adept creatures in the animal kingdom. They fly at an average speed of nearly 100 miles per hour, and can cover a distance of 700 miles in one day. They sometimes live more than 30 years, and modern military forces still make use of their wartime talents./ Güvercinler insanoğlunun evcilleştirdiği en akıllı hayvanlardan biri olup saatte 150 km hıza ulaşabilir, bir günde 1.200 km yol alabilir ve de 30 yıl yaşayabilirler.

This image can't physically be taken in one shot because the star trails are circling around the north star but the view through the arch is to the east. However, I wanted to start experimenting what can be done to make star trails more interesting - more to come which I hope to improve.
Physically, not too much has changed on Denali, North America’s highest peak. What did change in 2015 is how people describe and measure Alaska’s majestic mountain.
On August 30, 2015, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell announced that the mountain’s official name would be Denali, not Mount McKinley. Restoration of the traditional Koyukon Athabascan name of Denali, which means “the tall one,” resolved a request by former Alaska Gov. Jay Hammond that dates back to 1975.
But the mountain’s name was not the only change. On September 2, its elevation was also revised. The U.S. Geological Survey announced that Denali’s summit had a new, official elevation of 20,310 feet (6,190 meters)—10 feet shorter than surveyors had determined in the 1950s. The mountain has not shrunk. Instead, technology has improved.
The images on this page offer two views of Denali as observed on June 15, 2015, by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8. The natural-color Landsat 8 images were draped over an ASTER-derived Global Digital Elevation Model, which helps show the topography of the area.

If you look carefully, you will notice that this pidgeon is physically challenged.
I first spotted this pidgeon while reading my book in Millennium Park several weeks ago. I wanted to take a picture of it but it eluded me by flying away just as I took out my camera. Finally, just the other day, I was able to get a shot of it. Check it out! I'm sure this something you don't see everyday.
Today in Halaba area, south of Addis, Ethiopia. I was taking pics of the painted houses that you can see in the region. The houses are big and half of the tukul is dedicated to the cows. In one of the house, i did not see the living room and the beds dedicated to people, just cows, and in front of them, a child. I thought he was playing as he was full of dirt. The light was low inside. Once in the hotel, pushing the exposure in Lightroom, i discovered that this kid was attached to the cows fence by ropes. I understand now that he has an handicap and is kept this way by his parents. First the pic was just a candide moment of life, then it has became a dramatic slice of life.

Flynnie loves to play tuggie games. It always amazes how strong dogs are - Flynn's not exactly huge, nor is he heavily built but it's still quite a challenge to keep hold of the toy at times - I usually find after a couple of games, I'm worn out... at which point, Flynn smugly trots off to parade around the field with the prize! He'll soon come back & try to tease me into playing another game with him though - waving the toy just within my reach & then quickly jumping back & snatching it away when I go to grab it back - eventually, he lets me "win" - but only so we can play tug again.
It's always nice to engage with Flynn through play. Our interactions often need to be somewhat carefully negotiated to avoid stress but when Flynn's playing tuggy, or even just a game of fetch, he is behaves much more like a "normal" dog (as normal as a collie ever can be, anyway). He's usually very aware of how physically close he is to me, or if my hands are reaching towards him for example, but when we're playing together, Flynn doesn't seem to mind any of that.
As I described above - he'll actively invite me to reach out & grab at the toy he's holding & when we're playing, if I'm sitting on the ground he'll happily jump or clamber over my feet & legs, without a thought. Normally, he just would not do that kind of thing - & I wouldn't do something like put my hand up to his face. I've noticed too, that often, after a game, when he's obviously feeling particularly happy & relaxed, Flynn will decide to come & lie down, leaning against my side - the other day, he was nearly sitting in my lap. Now for most dogs, that would be something to take for granted but for Flynn, who finds being touched quite scary & who used to prefer keeping 15-20ft away from me while taking a break in the fields, it's a big deal & always a special moment ;)
*Paolo died in a tragic accident, shortly after this photo. He is very much missed & will always be remembered...
I struggled to get this shot both physically and photographically. It's a rather large flower, and yet I couldn't quite get the soft focus and sufficient detail ... which I suppose is counterintuitive. The stamen rise from a milky white cup (the receptacle) which adds to the difficulty, but at least I captured that. Physically, this was around 4800 foot elevation in the Nisqually Meadows on the slop of Mt. Rainier in Washington state. The altitude was beginning to get to me after a few days at 5000-8000 feet, but perhaps the "damage" was done. I got on the ground to get this, but I couldn't get up. Weird feeling. Fortunately, two hikers, whom shall forever be thought of as my "guardian brawny broads" (this was just a short time ago, but we still had a collective sense of humor) helped me up as though i was a feather and, believe me, I was no feather. I got an email from one of them in August asking how I was, and referring to me as "Moby Dick." I really miss those days and those people.
Gentian is also known as Gentiana, and there are 400 species of this beauty growing in alpine habitats in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Created with a laser-tomography scan, this sculpture physically represents the turbulent air released by a human voice uttering the sentence “Listen to the world”, an homage to the influential Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer (1933-2021), known for his revolutionary concept of the “soundscape.” The work also evokes the tradition of the speech scroll, an illustrative device like those used by Olmec, Mayan, Mixtec and other Pre-Columbina cultures to represent spoken words or song.

Even though this duck is missing a leg it does everything the other ducks do. It manages perfectly. Amazing how animals like humans, can adjust to almost anything.
After the storm. Aloe ferox is a tall, single-stemmed aloe, that can grow to 10 feet (3.0 m) in height. Its leaves are thick and fleshy, arranged in rosettes, and have reddish-brown spines on the margins with smaller spines on the upper and lower surfaces. The leaf surfaces of young plants are covered in spines; however, as they get taller and less vulnerable to grazing, the leaves begin to lose most of their spines except for those along the leaf margins. Plants in the western part of its natural range tend to keep more of their leaf surface spines.
Its flowers are a uniform orange or red, and stand between 2 and 4 feet (0.61 and 1.22 m) above the leaves, in multi-branched inflorescences.[5]
It is a variable species, and plants may differ physically from area to area, due to local conditions. This aloe is frequently confused with the related Aloe excelsa species, to the north, and they do look very similar when fully grown. However the flowers are different, with the racemes of Aloe excelsa being far shorter and slightly curved.
Altogether, the bitter aloe can be distinguished from its closest relatives: by its more compact, erect leaves with 6mm reddish-brown teeth on the margins and also on the keel of the leaf near the leaf tip; by their erect candelabra inflorescences, which bear up to eight very dense, cylindrical, symmetrical, 50–80 cm racemes; and by their un-curved, tubular flowers with brown inner segment tips.[4] Wikipedia

The Meridian Building, with its distinctive brick exterior and centralized location, has been a landmark in Downtown West Palm Beach since 1926. Recently designated as a Historical
Building, The Meridian first opened as the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company Building, housing the original phone network for the area.
The building is still physically attached to the large
AT&T Switching facility servicing the entire Caribbean and the BellSouth Cable Vault is located in the basement.
The building is set up with an expansive fiber-optic network, heavy-duty high-grade electric power, and a substantial structural design making it an ideal facility for any telecommunications and/or high tech companies needing unique access to telecommunications and fiber optic connectivity.
Last but not least, the architectural aesthetics of the interior are awesome with high ceilings, huge window openings, and large open floor plates. Similar to what you might see in NYC and Chicago but very rare for South Florida.
In summary, the Meridian Building offers a very unique office opportunity in a great Downtown
location.
Fantastic centralized location in Downtown West Palm Beach. Two blocks from Clematis Street, two blocks from CityPlace, two blocks from the Intracoastal Waterway.

Growing up is difficult. Strangely, even when we have stopped growing physically, we seem to have to keep on growing emotionally, which involves both expansion and shrinkage, as some parts of us develop and others must be allowed to disappear. Rigidity never works; we end up being the wrong size for our world...
Mist is a phenomenon caused by small droplets of water suspended in air. Physically, it is an example of a dispersion. It is most commonly seen where warm moist air meets sudden cooling, such as exhaled air in winter, or when throwing water onto a hot stove of a sauna. It can be created artificially with with aerosol canisters if humidity and temperature conditions are right. As seen here it can also occur as part natural weather, when humid air cools rapidly, for example when the air comes into contact with surfaces that are much cooler than air.
The River Ver here is a 28km (17 mi) long chalk stream in Hertfordshire, England. It is tributary of the River Colne.
The source is in the grounds of Lynch Lodge, Kensworth Lynch on the west side of the A5 trunk road and stays on the west side for some half mile or so. It then crosses through a culvert into Markyate Cell, aterwards crosses under the A5 in culvert and runs through Markyate, and on through Flamstead, Redbourne, St Albans and Park Street, finally joining the River Colne at Bricket Wood.
The Ver is a chalk stream, which is partly a seasonal winterbourne north of Redbourne. However many of its natural features have been compromised as a result of being canalised during the construction of the artificial lakes at Verulamium Park in St Albans in the 1930s folling archeological excavations of Verulamium by Sir Mortimer Wheeler and his wife Tessa. During the 1960s and 1970s it sufferd serious problems as a result of water extraction upstream. Although these abated temporarily after the closure of one of the pumping stations, as of 2005 the upstream part of the river dries up completely during the summer, and the rest of the river may suffer the same fate within a few years; compare the current situation with the "great flow of water" that was reported to exist in 1885, with a depth of 12 ft (3.7 m) at Dolittle Mill on Redbourne Road. In 2004 a proposal for remedial work was being developed for St Albans lakes.
Easily one of the most physically intense hikes for a shot to date. E342 rolls over the Copper Creek viaduct with the only YN3C C40-8W in the lead. This likely being the last time I and others got to see one leading a train. After the unfortunate circumstances from the 2023 santa train, id say this was well worth the hike.
I am not physically tired, merely filled with a deep, undefined vague sense of spiritual distress as if I had a deep wound running, inside me, and it had to be stanched. —Thomas Merton, Run to the Mountain: The Journals of Thomas Merton, Volume 1, 1939–1941, 452
-Wounded Heart of Thomas Merton, Robert Waldron
I'm not so fond of people. Although I always tried to be gentle and helpful and never harmed any, physically or psychically, there are only very few people with whom I have a good relationship and only three whom I can consider friends.
Why am I telling you all this? ( being sincere to the core, I don't trust local shrinks/therapists, and I need to tell my heart out)
"What's in it for you?" most ask, incapable of understanding that one can act as his heart tells, without caring about or calculating future incomes or benefits.
The issue accentuated lately, maybe because we live in our fur babies' nursing home, so many of them recently passed the Rainbow Bridge or got sick, and a lot of relatives and acquaintances are deeply concerned about our mental health, unable to understand why we are spending our time and income taking care of them.
"Why don't you euthanize them?", "Why don't you buy yourself a new car or pretty clothes instead?" they ask, making me viscerally sick.
The answer is simple, they are life, are part of the family, we love them, and love is care.
Love always comes with the promise of a heartache that will happen sooner or later, and that's regardless it's given to humans or fur babies.
Long story short, in February, after a surgery done by the book three weeks earlier, my Chubby's biopsy revealed a harsh diagnosis, feline sarcoma. He is okay now, but the future is quite uncertain.
His brother, TMWBITW, has feline asthma, a progressive condition that fails to improve significantly over time, although treated.
Cracanel (Bow Legs, the old dog on the hill who has cared for abandoned puppies, if you remember his story) has diabetes and needs to be tested two times daily to know if an insulin shot needs to be taken. He is not half of the dog he used to be.
For the last two and a half months now, a new cat to take care of has been in the house, named Oreo/Mia. This was, by far, the most challenging recovery of my life, with unexpected ups and downs, maybe even a way to learn that God's will shall always be done, and your actions, however well-intentioned, will not matter much in the process.
Stella, like a breath of fresh air, came the day before yesterday, and she will be here until my children finish their new home, and although her start in life was not the best, being very young, she will quickly forget all the troubles.
A shot in the garden, the day Stella came home, now the wind is terrible and only 1°C, is forecast to be this way for at least a week.

A hyena is more physically like a cat than a dog. Unknown to many people, the hyena spends 95% of its time hunting and not scavenging.
The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), also known as the laughing hyena, is a species of hyena, currently classed as the sole member of the genus Crocuta, native to Sub-Saharan Africa. It is listed as being of least concern by the IUCN on account of its widespread range and large numbers estimated between 27,000 and 47,000 individuals. The species is, however, experiencing declines outside of protected areas due to habitat loss and poaching.
The spotted hyena is the most social of the Carnivora in that it has the largest group sizes and most complex social behaviors. Its social organization is unlike that of any other carnivore, bearing closer resemblance to that of cercopithecine primates (baboons and macaques) with respect to group-size, hierarchical structure, and frequency of social interaction among both kin and unrelated group mates.
However, the social system of the spotted hyena is openly competitive rather than cooperative, with access to kills, mating opportunities and the time of dispersal for males depending on the ability to dominate other clan-members. Females provide only for their own cubs rather than assist each other, and males display no paternal care. Spotted hyena society is matriarchal; females are larger than males and dominate them. - Wikipedia.
Hokay, this was without a doubt the hardest 365 shoot to date. From the setup, to the editing it was both physically and mentally tiring, but it's done now!! There are obvious mistakes that make me cringe, but please just ignore those:P

I have a bad habit of losing images, not physically but more like philosophically, or technically. When I don’t get where I want with an image I am working on, I just shelve it and move on. I return to them from time to time to see if they're still a dead end, it took me two years to figure out what made me doubt this one.
I still do not get it to go exactly where I wanted it to go but now that I know what it's made of, I can live with it. As time goes by, I learn to see the images for what they are, not what I think they should be.
That really is the Moon and Venus next to it in the sky, by the way. At least I'm pretty sure it was Venus, one of the planets anyway
EDIT: It's not Venus, it's Jupiter! I chanced the title of this photo accordingly.
“Su Boe”
The oxen (the men) are constantly under the chain of the tyrant that oppresses them mercilessly with the awl (deception), physically taking out their flesh and rendering them helpless.
The shot shows the status of submission of the man (ox) against the tyrant assuming a tamed expression typical of “su boe domau”.
The fiction carnival highlights the risk that the man, working day and night in contact with the animals, will in the long run, assume their appearance. (Marchi 1962)
““SOS BOES” RUEN SUTA ‘E SU “TIRANNU”
CHI CRUDELE CUMANDAT A PUNTORZU
LASSANDECHELIS S’OSSU, INTRO SU CORZU,
ISPURPAU IN SU SECULARE INGANNU”.
JUANNE FRAZZU
I buoi (gli uomini) sono costantemente sotto il giogo del tiranno, che li opprime senza pietà col punteruolo (inganno), spolpandoli fisicamente e rendendoli inermi.
Lo scatto mostra lo stato di sottomissione dell’uomo (bue) nei confronti del tiranno assumendo un’espressione mansueta tipica de “su boe domau”.
La finzione carnevalesca evidenzia il rischio che l’uomo, lavorando giorno e notte a contatto con le bestie, a lungo andare, possa assumerne le sembianze. (Marchi 1962)
Trying to remind myself today:
- Mindlessly scrolling social media will not
bring true, lasting comfort.
- Physically harming myself will not bring
true, lasting comfort.
- I can acknowledge what I'm feeling and
not just try to ignore or suppress it and let
it slowly decrease it won't last forever at
that same intensity.
- It's ok to be honest.
- It's ok to ask for help.
- I can rest in God's love and care for
me. He is with me in each moment.
- What do I need right now?
- It is not completely selfish to do these
things (if they are done in a healthy
manner)—in order to truly be here for and
serve my family, friends or anyone I encounter I also have to take care of my own wellness.

I took this photo nearly two years ago (9/6/20) as I was doing my AMonthOnFilm image for that day. The prompt for my film photo was “looking up” [ www.flickr.com/photos/amandacreamerphotography/5051301140... ] and for that photo I laid in the grass at the edge of our yard where it meets the corn field, looking up at the sky, trying to cope as I was struggling intensely and working on taking my film photo. Here are some of the words I wrote that day with my “looking up” image: “…I listened to the corn blowing in the breeze, heard the loud insects buzzing all around me, felt the breeze blowing across my skin and the pressure of the solid ground under me, the cushion of the grass on my back and bugs biting at my ankles. I tried to absorb it all, take it all in among the anxiety raging in my body and mind. I tried to enjoy the moment instead of worrying I’d totally missed the shot by missing focus and not having the convenience of checking the image on the back of my camera—film doesn’t work that way. Even if I totally messed up this shot it can still remind me of this beautiful moment in God’s creation.” As I stayed in that spot, still working to cope, to try to find a tiny sliver of calmness I took some other photos with my digital camera. This is one of those images. I was holding my phone in my hand with the night sky as a backdrop. While outside I think my “trying to remind myself” phone alarm went off. I had an alarm set twice a day at set times and when the alarm sounded I would look at this image I created with one of my photos and words I had written to remind myself of. This was a habit for a while. I don’t do this anymore with an alarm and I can see evidence that these principles as well as some others not listed here are becoming more ingrained in my life and within myself. Things that were so foreign and felt so awkward are now starting to slowly become a little more natural. A small sign of some growth. It’s amazing to see how far I’ve come when there’s still SO far to go. I am thankful.
My beautiful and sweet Johnny. He is a Ragdoll breed, rescued cat. My companion and joy. He followed me around the house and play fetch with different toys. He is over a year old, very active, playful and also curious.
The Ragdoll is a cat breed with blue eyes and a distinct colorpoint coat. It is a large and muscular semi-longhair cat with a soft and silky coat. Developed by American breeder Ann Baker, it is best known for its docile and placid temperament and affectionate nature. The name "Ragdoll" is derived from the tendency of individuals from the original breeding stock to go limp and relaxed when picked up. Particularly popular in both the United Kingdom and the breed's native United States, ragdoll cats often are known as "dog-like cats" or "puppy-like cats" due to behaviors such as their tendency to follow people around, their ease at being physically handled, and their relative lack of aggression toward other pets.
Ragdoll cats tend to be more interested in humans than some breeds of cats. They are known to run to greet you at the door, follow you from room to room, flop on you, sleep with you, and generally choose to be where you are. Many Ragdolls have been taught to come when called and play fetch. They are gentle cats, and usually play without extending their claws. Ragdolls tend to be floor cats, not jumpers. The Ragdoll’s semi long coat is plush and silky, and requires minimal grooming to keep it looking its best.

It seems that our "nearest and dearest" are never physically close, and so we make more of an effort to meet and make the most of that time. It's intense but we enjoy every minute of our brief time together.
This week, Monica is in Italy for this event, which she's working on with Laszlo and Lesh (check Laszlo and Lesh's new company website here). Dario and Barbara happened to also be in Italy this weekend, so we decided for a quick meetup in Milan's Triennale garden, before we go our separate ways again (Monica to Fossano area, Dario and Barbara driving to München right now).
It was SO good to see Monica again - the last time we saw her physically was last November when we all flew in for Laszlo and Lesh's wedding in India.
Dario and Barbara recently moved to München from Chicago, and supposedly we see them more often (since they're much closer to Italy now), but this just doesn't happen quite so easily with our lifestyle! :(

Well, almost!
While I physically stand on the Mississippi state line, Alabama Southern train #112 is about to leave Alabama at McCary, MS.
The comment by Vic Lines in my previous post regarding the red morning sky held true. I'm not sure about the red, but usually those high cirrus clouds are a dead give away for rain within the next 24 hours. Heavy rain overnight provided this temporary pond to use for some reflection along the AS ROW.
Pennhurst Asylum was built in 1908 as a state school for the mentally and physically disabled. The Spring City, Chester County, Pennsylvania property covered 120 acres with many different buildings, many connected through a series of underground tunnels. The original name was "Pennhurst Home for the Feeble Minded and Epileptic" before it became known as the "Pennhurst State School". A 1968 report by NBC television entitled "Suffer The Little Children" brought forth evidence of abuse, neglect, and overcrowding at the institution. After many lawsuits, including the landmark May 1974 case "Halderman v. Pennhurst State School ", Pennhurst was finally forced to close its doors in 1986. Pennhurst fell into complete disarray and ruin with scrappers looting buildings for what they could sell and vandals spray painting just about every surface they could find.
There have been attempts to stabilize some of the buildings, primarily the roofs, to keep the buildings in a state of "arrested decay" so they don't become more ruined by the elements, and several of the more dangerous buildings have been demolished. There is a movement to build a museum that features the history of not only Pennhurst but also mental care in the United States, so that we never return to that state of affairs again. The property owners now offer a haunted house during the Halloween season, Paranormal tours, and Photography tours. Tour money goes towards the stabilization of the buildings and the formation of the museum.

A tulip, open and inviting.
TULIP frazzled, frayed.
Definition of frazzled:
Past tense of the verb to frazzle.
To wear away along the edges; fray.
To exhaust physically or emotionally.
A frayed or tattered condition.
A condition of exhaustion... NOT ME! LOL
Saw this bouquet of tulips, of the frayed variety, well they were frazzled in more than one way... as you can see, missing a few petals, a bit of mould starting in the center, made it only more interesting,just what I wanted!
Sometimes I just 'feeeeeeeeel' like this, a flower image in b&w...
I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stamens their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasised without the colour. Don't you agree?

thanx for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)
