This is the Figurehead of the replica ship Freedom Schooner Amistad
La Amistad (Spanish: "Friendship") was a 19th-century two-masted schooner built in the United States but owned by a Spaniard living in Cuba. The ship was notable as the scene of a revolt by African captives being transported from Havana. When they took control of the ship in July 1839 and were later captured by the US Navy, La Amistad became a symbol in the movement to abolish slavery. The ship was taken under control by the United States, resulting in a legal battle over the status of the Africans, as importation of slaves into the US had been prohibited since 1808.
On July 2, 1839, Sengbe Pieh led fellow 53 Africans (49 adults and 4 children), captives being transported aboard La Amistad from Havana, in a revolt against their captors. After gaining control of the ship, the Africans demanded to be returned home, but the ship’s navigator deceived them about the course and sailed north along the North American coast to Long Island, New York.
The schooner was taken into custody by the United States Navy and the Africans were taken to Connecticut to be sold as slaves. There ensued a widely publicized court case in New Haven, CT about the ship and the legal status of the African captives. At that time the transport of slaves from Africa to the Americas was illegal, so the ship owners fraudulently described the Africans as having been born in Cuba. The court had to decide if the Africans were to be considered salvage and the property of Naval officers who had taken custody of the ship, whether they were the property of the Cuban buyers, or of Spain as the Queen of Spain claimed, or lastly, if the circumstances of their capture and transportation meant they were free. The issues became the focus of the Amistad case, which figured prominently in abolitionism in the United States. In America, the African leader Sengbe Pieh became known as Joseph Cinqué. The Supreme Court ruled the Africans had been illegally held, and the United States arranged for them to be returned to Africa, as they wished.
Freedom Schooner Amistad set sail on June 21, 2007, from New Haven on the "Atlantic Freedom Tour", a 14,000-mile (23,000 km) transatlantic voyage
I couldn't resist some images of the ducks while exploring a new location in my recent video (you can watch it at youtu.be/R2g2cfnqosY.
I was laying on the ground near the mouth of the Algar river in Altea, Spain taking shots of the ducks when this male mallard beat its wings and I managed to catch them in this position where it looks quite imposing

Yay for creative titles! Not the best shot, but much better than the crap I posted of this a month or so ago. Looked so good in all red!

And now for the rinse…
It was an absolute treat to watch a flock of some 30+ Sanderlings enjoying bath time as the small waves of Pensacola Bay rolled in just after sunrise. I’m not sure what the order represented, maybe family units, possibly some pre-conceived risk-to-reward, not too many in the water at one time for safety’s sake methodology but for some odd reason only two to three would bathe at a time. They would march out from the dry sand area about 4-5 feet, bend down with their beaks fully extended, allowing the wave to wash completely over them.
As soon as the wave passed, they would shake wildly, preening intentionally…like stinky parts…wing pits and personals…just in time to assume the position for the next wave. After 2-4 waves they would leap straight up in the air and fly back to the flock, quickly being replaced by a member of the posse.
Good clean natural adventure before dementia!

On our tail down taxy rides you enjoy the only chance in Europe to be inside a Mosquito with both Merlins running. We place guests enjoying a ride in the navigators position beside the pilot. The sound of the 2 Merlins alone has a profound effect on any one who is the least bit interested in the Second World War. The whole experience lasts 30 minutes, with the taxy run itself lasting around 15 minutes and a tour around the equipment in the cockpit. Each guest has a certificate to take home signed by the pilot.
Mosquito HJ711 is the only running Mosquito outside of North America!
In time, the position of both sides softened, and finally they learned compromise. Then they tended their gardens, harvested grapes and made wine.
And, when the visitors came, they clinked their glasses and made a toast to Peace. The young grape leaf in the image here was found near Jerusalem; it is a metaphor for new growth.
Happy Sliders Sunday!

I was testing out some backlight shots and thought these yellow flowers worked perfectly with it! I need to use backlight more often as it really is beautiful, i know some flickr members who use it quite often and their photos look stunning. I wasnt going to put this up as I've not been keen on doing close up selfies lately but I thought the light and the flowers are pretty in this.

Here's a position I enjoyed the best...at least for now considering the flow. We'll see how she looks from here under full flow conditions early next Spring in 2026. As far as my overall experience here, I loved hiking the loop trail and enjoyed meeting and conversing with many interesting people.
My sixth entry to the Iron Forge 2025! Here, I used two seed parts (mudguard that has only one wheel arch) to create the pockets.
I won't pretend to know a lot about pool, but I know the black ball should go in last, making that yellow ball a tricky shot.. hence the title!
I would have liked to build it out a bit more, but did not have enough of so many of the essential parts...

Welcome to Turkey my friend.
Pamukkale, Denizli province of southwestern Turkey is a natural position. Urban spas and terraces flowing waters of the carbonate minerals, travertine covers. In the Aegean region of Turkey, the Menderes River valley has a temperate climate.
Ancient city of Hierapolis, the total length of 2700 meters, 600 meters wide and 160-meter-high white "castle" was built on. Pamukkale, Denizli, 20 km distant from the hills on the opposite side of the valley can be seen in the center. 5-10 km located near the ancient city of Laodicea. 5 km ahead of the international thermal center of the village, which has kale. Pamukkale is located in the UNESCO-designated World Heritage List '.
The main industry of tourism. People washed pools of thousands of years. The 20th mid-century, on the ruins of Heropolis, hotels were causing significant damage. An approach was made on the way to the valley terraces, and motorcycles were allowed to disembark and come out on the slopes. The region is a world heritage POSITION reported, the hotels were demolished, and lead was removed and was replaced with an artificial pools. Forbidden to wear shoes to protect in the water layers.

Pamukkale, güneybatı Türkiye'deki Denizli ilinde doğal bir mevkidir. Kent kaplıcaları ve akan sulardan kalan karbonat mineralleri teraslarını, travertenleri kapsamaktadır. Türkiye'nin Ege bölgesinde, ılıman bir iklimi olan Menderes Nehri vadisinde bulunur.
Eski Hierapolis kenti, toplam 2700 metre uzunluğunda, 600 metre genişliğinde ve 160 metre yüksekliğindeki beyaz "kalenin" üzerine inşa edilmişti. Pamukkale, Denizli'nin 20 km uzaktaki merkezindeki vadinin karşı tarafındaki tepelerden görülebilir. 5-10 km yakınında Laodikya antik kenti bulunur. 5 km ilerisinde ise uluslararası bir termal merkez olan Karahayıt köyü vardır. Pamukkale UNESCO tarafından belirlenen Dünya Miras Listesi`nde yer almaktadır.
Turizm başlıca endüstridir. İnsanlar binlerce yıldır havuzlarında yıkanmıştır. Daha 20. yüzyılın ortalarında, Heropolis kalıntıları üzerine, önemli hasara neden olan oteller yapıldı. Vadiden terasların üstüne bir yaklaşım yolu yapıldı, ve motosikletlerin yamaçlara çıkmalarına ve inmelerine izin verildi. Bölgenin bir dünya miras mevkisi olduğu bildirildiğinde, oteller yıkıldı, yol kaldırıldı ve yapay havuzlar ile yeri değiştirildi. Suyun içinde ayakkabı giymek katmanları korumak için yasaklandı.

It is funny how regularly K2’s pisé and position is identical to Kennedy’s. They’re not related by birth but are so amusingly in synch. Even in sleep.
This is actually a night time photograph with only one low corner lamp. The handheld long-exposure night-mode on the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max makes it so well-lit. See 3D at lnkd.in/dEHNUdhQ .

Landscapes you can't take too much credit for. Landscapes are like a metaphor for life. You must consistently show up and put yourself in position for success. The sky and light changes daily and without daily persistence you will miss the opportunity given to you. The one thing you can admire about a person's landscape is the time and dedication that person took to be in the right place at the right time. A consistent grind to be in the moment that the heavens gift you for not being lazy.

Blueberries is very healthy all the time :-)
Here we enter the macro world with a bokeh capture of an amarican blueberry in Norway.
Wikipedia:
Blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) are perennial flowering plants with indigo-colored berries. They are classified in the section Cyanococcus within the genus Vaccinium. Vaccinium also includes cranberries, bilberries and grouseberries. Commercial "blueberries" are native to North America, and the "highbush" varieties were not introduced into Europe until the 1930s.
Blueberries are usually prostrate shrubs that can vary in size from 10 centimeters (3.9 in) to 4 meters (13 ft) in height. In the commercial production of blueberries, the smaller species are known as "lowbush blueberries" (synonymous with "wild"), while the larger species are known as "highbush blueberries".
The leaves can be either deciduous or evergreen, ovate to lanceolate, and 1–8 cm (0.39–3.15 in) long and 0.5–3.5 cm (0.20–1.38 in) broad. The flowers are bell-shaped, white, pale pink or red, sometimes tinged greenish. The fruit is a berry 5–16 millimeters (0.20–0.63 in) in diameter with a flared crown at the end; they are pale greenish at first, then reddish-purple, and finally dark purple when ripe. They are covered in a protective coating of powdery epicuticular wax, colloquially known as the "bloom". They have a sweet taste when mature, with variable acidity. Blueberry bushes typically bear fruit in the middle of the growing season: fruiting times are affected by local conditions such as altitude and latitude, so the peak of the crop, in the northern hemisphere, can vary from May to August.
