My girlfriend's mother has been wanting me to build her something for a long time now. She is going to be getting this for her birthday in a few days (Easter Lilies are her favorite)
Today, at sundown, the gun hunt ends. Those left standing get to relax.

Just outside Oxenhope on the Keighley And Worth Valley Railway, LMS 4F 0-6-0 No.43924 reverses so they can change the points and let No.43924 couple back to her train of carriages. I took this photograph with my Panasonic G7 on the 24th July 2017.
shining tor
A week of weather woes, mostly due to snow. Travel was cancelled, meetings cancelled, flights cancelled, but at least the weather forecast for Saturday looked reasonable.
Once Saturday arrived, instead of sunny spells there was more snow (and more snow) and freezing fog...
Now a 52 week project is supposed to be a challenge, so it was time to embrace the weather and head out into the limited visibility murk.
So here is the trig point on the summit of Shining Tor in white-out conditions!..
Shining Tor is the highest point in Cheshire (but only just as the dry stone wall in the shot marks the border with Derbyshire), and I can walk to it from my own front door - a lovely round trip of 16 miles.

At 11:56 AM on Friday, November 1st 2024, the concrete canopy above the main entrance of the Novi Sad Railway Station (Vojvodina, Serbia), weighing 272 metric tons, collapsed, crushing 14 people dead on the spot and 1 passing away 17 days after in the hospital.
The whole building was just renovated as part of the Chinese 'Belt and Road' initiative (renewal of the railway tracks from Belgrade to Subotica). The collapsing roof is a result of a failed reconstruction process conducted by the Chinese investors CRIC-CCCC (China Railway International Company along with China Communications Construction Company).
Both the Chinese investors and Serbian government officials, ministers (from the ruling SNS - Srpska Napredna Stranka - Serbian Progressive Party and it's coalition partner SPS - Socijalistička Partija Srbije - Socialist Party of Serbia, including the Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure - Goran Vesić, the Minister of Internal Affairs - Ivica Dačić and the President Aleksandar Vučić) deny the fact that the suspended roof was renovated along with the whole station building. Spite there are visual proofs one can find on the web proving the opposite. They try to wash their hands and not take any responsibility at all for this tragedy. Their mantra in the state media is that the roof collapsed "as it was old, built in 1964". OK, let's take your claim as true - why the heck you did not renovated the roof when everything else was renovated?!
The President and the officials say "all responsible for the tragedy will be processed and sentenced". In Serbia. Where everything is corrupt. And you can get away with everything, even with negligent homicide, if you are a member or a buddy of the ruling political parties, SNS and SPS...
14 people (11/17 update: the 15th victim, Anja (23) a student of Chinese (how ironic) and a basketball player, who had her both arms amputated after the collapse, died in the hospital after 17 days), including two girls age 5 and 9 with their grandpa, two high-school students, age 16 and 17, a young couple barely over 20, mothers, fathers, grandparents lost their lives while waiting for their train or suburban bus, looking forward to get home to see their loved ones. They were crushed to death in a second due to such massive neglect.
After the 3 days of mourning in the province of Vojvodina, sadly, nothing will change, the majority of the people will "sell themselves" for 20 Euro to vote further on for the SNS and SPS (look up the "Bulgarian Train" voting fraud system on the web).
It is hard to be an optimist in Serbia, no wonder the youth and intellectuals are leaving the country en masse. Myself included.
Rest In Peace Sara (5), Valentina (9), Milica (16), Nemanja (17), Anđela (20), Miloš (21), Anja (23), Stefan (27), Sanja (35), Vasko (45 - citizen of North Macedonia), Đorđe (53), Goranka (58), Vukašin (69), Mileva (76), Đuro (77)
You did not deserved such horrible faith...
"Broke an early promise
Put trust in an unknown
Fell headlong into the arms
Of the first that stirred me
Unsteadied a steady heart
And took me to a place I've never been
A place I've never been since
Stopped hoping at an early age
Stopped guessing at an early age
Start accepting things from day one
And then things can't go too wrong
Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They're right, you're wrong
And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave
And when the sky begins to fall
The blame, all along in you is yours
Wakes you with a fever at five
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost
And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave
Just let them walk all over you (they're right, you're wrong)
Laugh through the punches and the pain (they're right, you're wrong)
Let the life-blood drain away from you (they're right, you're wrong)
They're right, you're wrong"

I remember a line I read.... "The personal is political." Perhaps not so much political in this case, but personal it is, to be in the water,.

Lux Geometrica. A series of original 'Refractographs' which have been cut,folded, copied and re-assembled
Fairly photoshopped, not my usual kind of thing...
Levels, brightness/contrast, hue/saturation and a little bit of the shadow/highlights tool was used...
Both the Ocean Ripples and Glass filter was used..
What do you guys think of it?
Photo was merged from a 9 photo grid with varying focus points, hand-held. I love the quality of the Tampon 35mm lens I used.
The National Museum of Finland (Finnish: Kansallismuseo, Swedish: Nationalmuseum) presents Finnish history from the Stone Age to the present day, through objects and cultural history. The Finnish National Romantic style building is located in central Helsinki and is a part of the Finnish Heritage Agency (until 2018 the National Board of Antiquities) (Finnish: Museovirasto, Swedish: Museiverket), under the Ministry of Culture and Education. The museum's entrance hall ceiling has ceiling frescoes in the national epic Kalevala theme, painted by Akseli Gallén-Kallela, which can be seen without an entrance fee. The frescoes, painted in 1928, are based on the frescoes painted by Gallén-Kallela in the Finnish Pavilion of the Paris World Fair in 1900. The building of the National Museum was designed by architects Herman Gesellius, Armas Lindgren, and Eliel Saarinen. The appearance of the building reflects Finland's medieval churches and castles. The architecture belongs to national romanticism and the interior mainly to art nouveau. The museum was built from 1905 to 1910 and opened to the public in 1916. The museum was named the Finnish National Museum after Finland's independence in 1917. After the last thorough renovation, the Museum was re-opened in July 2000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_Finland
Helsinki is the capital and most populous city of Finland. Located on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, it is the seat of the region of Uusimaa in southern Finland, and has a population of 650,058. The city's urban area has a population of 1,268,296, making it by far the most populous urban area in Finland as well as the country's most important center for politics, education, finance, culture, and research. Helsinki is located 80 kilometres north of Tallinn, Estonia, 400 km east of Stockholm, Sweden, and 300 km west of Saint Petersburg, Russia. It has close historical ties with these three cities. Together with the cities of Espoo, Vantaa, and Kauniainen, and surrounding commuter towns, Helsinki forms the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area, which has a population of nearly 1.5 million. Often considered to be Finland's only metropolis, it is the world's northernmost metro area with over one million people as well as the northernmost capital of an EU member state. After Stockholm and Oslo, Helsinki is the third largest municipality in the Nordic countries. The city is served by the international Helsinki Airport, located in the neighboring city of Vantaa, with frequent service to many destinations in Europe and Asia. Helsinki was the World Design Capital for 2012, the venue for the 1952 Summer Olympics, and the host of the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest in 2007. Helsinki has one of the highest urban standards of living in the world. In 2011, the British magazine Monocle ranked Helsinki the world's most liveable city in its liveable cities index. In the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2016 liveability survey, Helsinki was ranked ninth among 140 cities. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki
