I'm trying to be lighthearted, but i really was sad when he didn't stick to the rock i stuck him to. :(( Then, he just washed away with the tide..........
May he rest in peace.
On train refreshment, in the form of Great Corby Lakeland Summit ale. Made up for it running out the previous evening at the excellent Queen Inn at Great Corby - Saturday 12th June 2021.
Taken at the same time as the last one, obviously. I really wanted a big lollipop for this outfit, but when I went to the corner shop the closest match I could find was a big bag of peanut M&Ms. Which I am now eating, despite the fact that I don't really like them that much.
I was a bit unsure about this one when I took it, but it's grown on me over the last couple of days.

Conrail GG1 4822 and another G were putzing around the Orangeville engine facility on a sunny day in 1978.
As a young photographer, I thought the placement of that catenary pole should be directly in front of the motor.
Waiting at Platform 16 with 9G25, the 1403 to Birmingham New Street, Virgin Trains no. 390104 "Alstom Pendolino" shows off its family branding to the entirety of London Euston (well, the adjacent platforms).
Couldn't decide which side the ice-cream shop should go... My original plan was to have it on the right of the Marina but as I was moving this around, it looks okay in the middle too. What do you guys think?
Paul Gauguin -
Still Life with three puppies [1888]
NYC MOMA - wiki
*******************************************************************************
This painting features three distinct zones: a still life of fruit in the foreground, a row of three blue goblets and apples diagonally bisecting the canvas, and three puppies drinking from a large pan. The incongruous scale and placement of these objects on a dramatically upturned tabletop results in a disorienting composition.
When Gauguin painted Still Life with Three Puppies, he was living in Brittany among a group of experimental painters. He abandoned naturalistic depictions and colors, declaring that "art is an abstraction" to be derived "from nature while dreaming before it." The puppies bodies, for example, are outlined in bold blue, and the patterning of their coats mirrors the botanic print of the tablecloth. It is thought that Gauguin drew stylistic inspiration for this painting from children's book illustrations and from Japanese prints, which were introduced to him by his friend and fellow artist Vincent van Gogh that same year.

Removable wrist strap with anatomical plastic grip (screwed into tripod socket and a small locating stud) for left hand use made for quick operation.
Fujica 35 – SE was also made with a 4.5cm f/2.8 lens and top shutter speed of 1/1000.
It took two tries to get the button bands right, but I finally got to cut the steek stitches this morning. That's my favorite part.
Mark likes it and asked that I put the white edging on. Looks pretty spiffy.
The black Shetland (not dyed, the color of the sheep) has white hairs all through it. I can't tell if this looks like Pippa's been all over it or if the white sheep hairs will camouflage white Pippa hairs. :D
By far the most colossal advertisement I've ever seen, attached to the side of what appears to be a concrete plant.
This has been a banner year for mosquitos around here. It's been very damp for weeks, and awfully humid, so they will basically try to fly away with you the moment you step outside. Until now, that is. Daisy's sister told us about a new gadget that was supposedly very effective. Well, you know what those stories are usually worth....however in this case we seem to have a winner. I had Daisy sit outside for a few minutes before trying it (yeah, you had to know I would get around to my "mosquito magnet" idea in some form or another eventually...😘), and she reported that it was a constant battle to keep the little buggers at bay.
So we fired up our new "Thermacell" mosquito repeller, set it outside for fifteen minutes as they recommend, and then we both headed out as human bait to test it. NO mosquitos bothered us at all! 😍
Anyway, we highly recommend the product. It worked exactly as advertised, and though the refills are a bit expensive, they are good for thirty-six hours of service each. So I expect we will find it totally worth the investment. 😊💖💖

Nice to see our ambulance service (Yorkshire Ambulance) putting poppies on our emergency vehicles!
I work for Yorkshire Ambulance Service in and around the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire.
It’s a great job and I feel very honoured to be able to help people at their point of need.

I believe in a bit of good quality while collecting garbage, having some personal pride and maintaining some tidy presentation with what you leave behind. It doesn’t take a great effort to leave a bin standing with a side loader, returning bins neatly in a group while rear loading or cleaning up any little mess you might make in your own fault. However not everybody out there shares this same work ethic... you don’t have to be perfect with everything, but some decent personal standard is something. In the end you’re on display and you never know who is watching you, better to put on a good show rather than portray yourself as a grubby, incompetent, unprofessional twat (in my opinion anyway). I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I left the bins like they were in the photo. Worked around plenty of operators in the past who leave bins dropped all over the bloody place and it just looks shit for an area - half the time left in your way too. You’re either a driver who could not give the slightest fuck, or you have a reasonable go at it, or you’re just an OCD neat freak... but the middle one is best I reckon.
The archaeological remains of Stabiae were originally discovered in 1749 by Cavaliere Rocco de Alcubierre, an engineer working for king Charles VII of Naples. These ruins were partially excavated by Alcubierre with help from Karl Weber between 1749–1782. The ruins that had been excavated, however, were reburied and their location was forgotten until 1950, when a high school principal rediscovered them. The site was declared an archaeological protected area in 1957, and by 1962 many of the ruins had been again uncovered. The remains of both an Oscan settlement (oppidum) and the later Roman town were discovered.
The most famous of the findings at Stabiae are the villas that come from the time between the destruction of Stabiae by Sulla in 89 BC and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.As described above, Stabiae became a resort town during this time and was particularly favored for its view of the Bay of Naples and the surrounding mountains. Stabiae was also well known for the quality of its spring water, which was believed to have medicinal properties. The ideal placement and qualities of this location drew many wealthy Romans to build luxurious villas on the ridge overlooking the bay.
Among the many villas found at Stabiae, the most famous are Villa San Marco, Villa Del Pastore, and Villa Arianna. Some of the other villas include Villa Carmiano, Villa del Petraro, and Villa Capella di San Marco.
Villa Arianna
Named for the fresco depicting Dionysus saving Ariadne from the island of Dia (a mythological name for Naxos), this villa is particularly famous for its frescoes, many of which depict light, winged figures.[2] It is difficult to get a clear sense of this villa, however, because it grew over the course of 150 years. It has one of the largest courtyards of any Roman villa; measuring two stadia in length. Another feature of Villa Arianna is its private tunnel system that links the villa in its location on the ridge to the sea shore, which was probably only between 100 and 200 metres away from the bottom of the hill in Roman times. The shoreline has since changed, leaving the archaeological site further inland than it was in antiquity.
Everytime a new pair of shoes come into the house i'll always try and get a nice shot of them. I like how the colours came out
Speedlight shot through a softbox slightly above the shoes
There's a second part to this one here....
"I see a mansard roof through the trees,
I see a salty message written in the eaves.
The ground beneath my feet,
the hot garbage and concrete,
and now the tops of buildings, I can see them too...."
