When pressing a stick in the sand and observe the water silently filling the hole again, was pure happiness. When time stood still and the only thing existing was ...now.

Colour re-edit of a shot from June 2019. Enjoy!
Rrrrrreaching to grow that muscle mass.
I don't know why people think bench pressing takes heavy duty exertion.
I have a little bench in front of a window and I can easily press
it.
As an aside, I have NO IDEA why my arm and hand look the way they do. It's not an edit, it came out of the camera this way.
The camera was on a tripod, the timer function on, it's obviously overexposed and ill aimed, but......this???
When fact is stranger than fiction.
More fun with the new FOXCITY backdrop. Had to drag the other half into this one.

Privés d'eau, tous les végétaux aquatiques ont péri. Le fond de l'étang est jonché de nénuphars morts.
Without water, all aquatic plants have perished. The bottom of the pond is littered with dead water lilies.

Pressing L makes best sense of the pic here :-)
Sincere thanks to all who view, comment upon or make a favourite of my shots, for each is a help and psure in equal measure. Phil
Terry has recently uploaded a few shots from a winter hike we took last year. Poor chap must be missing the snow! Just incase a reminder of the conditions is required here is a shot of Terry making tough but good progress on that hike.
I did feel that I should pull some detail out of the shadow but changed my mind as I think the silhouette helps emphasise the conditions.

She sits with her feet crossed, dress catching the light, one hand resting where the stone has been worn smooth by others doing the same. Behind her, the towers of Cologne Cathedral rise with their familiar gravity, and the bridge carries the city onward without pause.
She doesn’t look back.
Some moments arrive without asking for reverence.
They ask only to be lived.

The theme for for "Smile on Saturday" for Saturday 7th of June is "portray the letter P", where, as the name suggests you need to portray the letter P in some way. In this case, I have used pretty pieces of découpage paper from my collection to form the letter P. There is even a pansy in there for good measure! I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Scrapbooking was a popular pastime in Victorian times for both children and adults. Creating a scrapbook was not only a craft project, it was also a way of preserving memories.
In the 1800s, the automated printing press was invented. Suddenly books and printed material became much more widely available. As well as writing in their commonplace books, people began to cut out and stick in printed items. Things like greeting cards, calling cards, postcards, prayer cards, advertising trading cards and newspaper clippings were collected. Some of these books contained a mix of personal journal entries, hand-drawn sketches and watercolours, along with various scraps of printed material. These books were literally books of scraps.
By the 1820s, collectable scraps had become more elaborate. Some items were embossed: a process by which a die (a metal stamp for cutting or pressing) was punched into the reverse side of the paper, giving the front a raised three-dimensional appearance.
In 1837, the first year of Queen Victoria's reign, the colour printing process known as chromolithography was invented. This lead to the production of ‘ready made’ scraps. Brightly coloured and embossed scraps were sold in sheets with the relief stamped out to the approximate shape of the image. These pre-cut scraps were connected by small strips of paper to keep them in place. The laborious task of cutting out small pictures was thus removed, and sales of scraps went soaring. Many of the best-quality scraps of the period were produced in Germany, where bakers and confectioners used small reliefs to decorate cakes and biscuits for special occasions such as christenings, weddings, Christmas and Easter.
These embossed chromolithograph scraps are of German and British origin and date from the 1880s.

Theme : Only two words. Seulement deux mots.
Tout a commencé au 4ème siècle en Chine où des objets creux comme des casseroles servaient à lisser les linges et vêtements. Mais il fallait attendre bien longtemps pour voir à quoi ressemblaient les premiers fers à repasser.
Nous sommes tout au début du 17ème siècle. A cette époque, ce sont des plaques de fers munis de manche long qui étaient utilisées. Il fallait les déposer dans des fourneaux pour les réchauffer convenablement.
Entre le 17ème et le 18ème siècle, le fer à repasser en fonte fit son apparition. Il était constitué de métaux avec un manche en fer. Il fallait le réchauffer dans la braise, mais il faut dire que son utilisation n’était pas vraiment facile. Avec le temps, cet outil a évolué, comme l’on devait s’y attendre.
Au 19ème siècle, il y a eu le fer à repasser en fonte, mais avec un intérieur creux où l’utilisateur pouvait déposer de la braise, et le manche était en bois. A cette période, on ne mettait plus le fer dans la braise, mais le contraire. Quelques années après, le fer à chauffage par masse fut inventé. Avec lui, l’utilisateur mettait du métal chauffé sur la braise à l’intérieur de l’outil pour faire son repassage.fer à repasser creux
1882 a été une année importante dans l’histoire de fers à repasser, car c’était à partir de cette époque que l’électricité à commencer par intervenir dans l’utilisation de ces outils de repassage.
It all began in 4th century China, where hollow objects such as pots were used to smooth out linen and clothing. But it was not until much later that the first irons appeared.
We are at the very beginning of the 17th century. At that time, iron plates with long handles were used. They had to be placed in stoves to heat them up properly.
Between the 17th and 18th centuries, the cast iron iron made its appearance. It was made of metal with an iron handle. It had to be heated in embers, but it must be said that it was not really easy to use. Over time, this tool evolved, as was to be expected.
In the 19th century, there was the cast iron iron, but with a hollow interior where the user could place embers, and the handle was made of wood. At this time, the iron was no longer placed in the embers, but the opposite. A few years later, the mass-heated iron was invented. With this iron, the user placed heated metal on the embers inside the tool to do their ironing. Hollow iron
1882 was an important year in the history of irons, as it was from this time onwards that electricity began to be used in these ironing tools.

The sun rises slowly, not in warmth but in pressure — a narrow seam of light forcing its way through a heavy sky.
The night lingers, unresolved, while the first glow holds its ground at the horizon. This is not a gentle beginning, but a necessary one. A reminder that some mornings arrive before the world is ready, and still insist on being seen.

The old vinyl pressing plant and record complex at Hayes is being redeveloped and gentrified. During the interim preiod there are works of art of lots of different types across the site.

Taken from a high rise hotel located in Dubai Marina.
Just to give you an idea of the size of that marina, what you see here is barely a quarter of the whole marina. The marina stretches over 3 kilometers.
Many thanks to my good friend from Qatar arfromqatar who always carefully selects his hotels in Dubai, which have the best vantage points!
