100x 2023 edition - Northumberland revisited - 8/100
33203 climbs away from Salisbury on Christmas Eve 1986 with the 0650 Waterloo to Exeter St Davids service.
In October 1986 I had bought my first SLR camera and two months later, putting it politely, I was still very much getting to grips with it.
On Christmas Eve I was aimed to capture some images of class 33s and 50s at Salisbury, which operated virtually all passenger trains at Salisbury then.
What I hadn't bothered with was the weather forecast, which combined the saying 'red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning' and the photographer's saying of 'f4 at a fortnight'. A heavy overnight frost was about to be obliterated by a blanket of cloud rolling in from the west.
Out I trotted and this photograph was the closest I came to any sun on a train that day. Everything else was hopelessly composed, dark or speed-blurred, or sometimes all three.
However, 34 years on, it is now clear the day wasn't a complete write-off: this image has reacted well to the wonders of today's photo-processing, and a reasonable image has finally appeared, 34 years after I took the original photograph.
Birthday present
This is an image of wild flowers in brass thimble. This was definately the most difficult assignment so far. I looked like a micro-surgeon, operating on small bouquet: converging lens was above bouquet, in my left hand was a pincette, in my right hand was pair of scissors. Also, I had to work very quickly as wild flowers wilt within fifteen minutes. I've worked on this for two days in order to be ready for the big shoot; I've practiced the speed so I could do it quickly and in enough time. At the end I've managed to capture these small wild flowers in a thimble as I've imagined it.
I wish you a lot of years of succesful work and thank you all for helping me learn so much about macro photography.
HBMM!

Quaglietta (AV)
The history of Quaglietta begins when, to stop the Saracen incursions in the Sele Valley, it was decided to build 3 fortresses: Valva, Senerchia and Quaglietta, (which however at the time was called castrum Quallectae).
The first settlement was therefore a military fortress built on a rocky spur (284 m above sea level) to which a village was added over time.
The name has nothing to do with quails as many believe but with the ancient Latin name of the area or Acque electe which translates as pure water and refers to the richness and purity of the waters that flow in the area.
Although the town is closely linked to the municipalities of the Sele Valley belonging to the province of Salerno, it is part of the province of Avellino and is a fraction of the municipality of Calabritto.
The 1980 earthquake hit this town hard but it was renovated with great attention and today the ancient medieval village retains its ancient splendor and is a tourist attraction.
La storia di Quaglietta inizia quando per frenare le incursioni di saraceni nella Valle del Sele fu decisa la costruzione delle 3 fortezze: Valva, Senerchia e Quaglietta, (che però all'epoca si chiamava castrum Quallectae) .
------------------------------
Il primo insediamento fu quindi una fortezza militare costruita su uno sperone roccioso (284 m sul livello del mare) a cui nel tempo si aggiunse un borgo.
Il nome non ha nulla a che fare con le quaglie come in molti credono ma con l'antico nome latino della zona ovvero Acque electe la cui traduzione è acqua pura e fa riferimento alla ricchezza e purezza delle acque che sgorgano in zona.
Pur essendo il paese strettamente legato ai comuni della Valle del Sele appartenenti alla provincia di Salerno fa parte della provincia di Avellino ed è una frazione del comune di Calabritto.
Il terremoto del 1980 ha colpito duramente questo paese che però è stato ristrutturato con grande attenzione e oggi l'antico borgo medievale conserva l'antico splendore ed è una attrazione turistica.
The Origaliens have left, but they gave us this precious present.
"Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today it is a gift.
That's why it is called
The present"
Quote - Alice Morse Earle
The present church was built after the fire of 1844. It exhibits a neoclassical construction, decorated with one of the largest organ in South America, a large lamp of Sevillian origin, a French neo-Gothic pulpit, Carrara marbles and wood carving. It is also one of the 70 churches in the world authorized to display the banner of the Vatican.
For #MacroMondays and this week's theme #Tradition.
Happy Macro Monday!

Because of good behavior during the holidays, Benny gets a present from Mummy Marian.
ME:
Benny?
I have something for you
BENNY:
Wow....a present....for me?????
ME:
Yes Benny..it's just for you
Because you've been so sweet during the holidays.
I know it is very difficult for you to share something when it comes to something delicious. I've seen you can do it and I'm proud of you. So this is all for you... just open the package.
Benny tears off the paper:
BENNY:
WOW!!! Mummy! That's a big one! It has more than 3 layers!
Thank you Mummy.....I love you so much!!!!
May I also give Jago a piece?
ME:
You decide Benny...it's your pastry!
BENNY:
I love Jago very much...he is my best friend and that's why he gets half of the pastry.
ME:
Well Benny...that's really nice of you.
I think Jago likes it too
Becán ist eine archäologische Stätte und vormaliges Zentrum der Maya der präklassischen Periode. Sie befindet sich im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Campeche, im Zentrum der Yucatán-Halbinsel, 150 Kilometer nördlich von Tikal.
Der Name Becán bedeutet in Mayathan „Schlucht, von Wasser geformt“ und bezieht sich auf den umgebenden Graben, der einzigartig für eine Maya-Stätte ist. Becán, das im Rio-Bec-Stil erbaut ist, war ein regionales religiöses und politisches Zentrum der Maya. Die ersten Nachweise menschlicher Besiedelung gehen ins Jahr 600 v. Chr. zurück. Die Blütezeit der Stadt war jedoch in den Jahren 600–1000, bewohnt war die Stadt bis etwa 1250.
Die Stadt ist von einem Graben umgeben, der an sieben Stellen unterbrochen war. Er war damit kein wirksames militärisches Hindernis, oder wurde nicht als solches fertiggestellt.
Becan is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Becan is located near the center of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the present-day Mexican state of Campeche,Archaeological evidence shows that Becan was occupied in the middle Preclassic Maya period, about 550 BCE, and grew to a major population and ceremonial center a few hundred years later in the late Preclassic.

Long exposure taken during a photo walk

A wonderful weekend to you all :) !!
Presenting an impressive image for CN passenger services as well as "F-unit Friday", FP-9A #6511 leads a pretty much perfect looking "Super Continental" train (IMHO) with A-B-B-B power. The westbound is making it's station stop on what looks to be a fine winter day in the middle of nowhere northern Ontario. The Longlac station is behind the train, and I sure wish I'd been standing right there to observe this. But I wasn't and Mr. Ken McCucheon steps up to the plate again with another killer view. I'm just trying to remember what in the world I could have traded to him for this one.......
The red, present in the middle is actually a huge building. Used to be a shopping centre, now mostly offices.
jeep on the right is my trusty 😜 awaiting orders while I take the shot lol
The Wild flowers of today take over the remains of the past and as the sun shines through the empty windows, the stories of the past remain in the shadows.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
...on the road east we met a drover, well over 100km from home, trying to keep his cattle alive on the long paddock. They had been on the road for 26 days.
Drovers are a common sight at present in the outback, where cattle are moved along a highway corridor or stock route (colloquially known as the "long paddock") for feed to save the cattle from a severe drought. Drovers often move cattle hundreds of kilometres to areas that have had rain and there is grass to feed the herd.

The Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew
The West Front
The first abbey was built in Peterborough around 655AD, this was destroyed by a viking attack in 870AD. The Benedictines built a monastery on the site a hundred years later, the present building was begun in 1118 after the previous monastery was destroyed by fire two years earlier. The architecture is mainly Norman, along with Durham and Ely Cathedrals, it is one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England.
During the reformation of the monasteries the Benedictine monks where removed from Peterborough and the Abbey church was selected as the cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Peterborough by Henry VIII in 1541.
Peterborough Cathedral is best known for its imposing Early English Gothic West Front which, with its three enormous arches, is without architectural precedent and with no direct successor. The appearance is slightly asymmetrical, as one of the two towers that rise from behind the façade was never completed.
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Pretty papers all wrapped with care.
Ribbons and tinsel fill the trees and air.
Everyone gathered together to spread some cheer.
Sending love to those who's hearts are dear.
End of the year coming to a close.
Naughty or nice, friend or foe?
Christmas time is the season.
Everyone have a great holiday and please remember the reason.

Some things, some people, stand out and you just know how special and rare they are. I hope each of you have a warm and lovely holiday season. Thank you for your continued support. I appreciate your presence. Merry Christmas!
