The Church of the Holy Virgin Mary (Heilige Maagd Mariakerk) on the Long Quay in Bruges was designed by the architect Emmanuel van Speybrouck and consecrated in 1778. Today the church is empty. I think it is used for storage or other purposes.
The purpose of Arches National Park is to protect extraordinary examples of geologic features including arches, natural bridges, windows, spires, and balanced rocks, as well as other features of geologic, historic, and scientific interest, and to provide opportunities to experience these resources and their associated values in their majestic natural settings.
Grizzly has been part of our pack for 53 weeks now, And he seems all growed up. He's been helping with the work we're doing here every day, though his sense of purpose seems a little unfathomable at times.

The Elite, or Lotus Type 14, was the first purpose-designed road coupe from the innovative mind of Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus Cars (1952). This endeavor followed his open Six and Seven roadsters and a series of very successful sports racers, starting with his first fully enclosed aerodynamic 1954 Lotus Mk VIII.
Chapman’s approach was always to “add lightness,” instead of moving to bigger, heavier engines. He achieved this for the Elite by pioneering an all-fiberglass monocoque with only localized steel reinforcement. The 1953 Corvette showed the potential of a fiberglass body on a steel chassis, but Chapman took it a step further. The Elite was entirely fiberglass, including its load-bearing structure. Suspension parts and the front subframe supporting the engine, bolted directly to three box sections molded into the fiberglass body. His advanced glass-reinforced composite body panels were lightweight and cost-effective but, more importantly, it was the world’s first fiberglass monocoque production car.
The curvaceous body style was the work of Peter Kirwan-Taylor, John Frayling, and aerodynamicist, Frank Costin. The resulting design had a low drag coefficient of only 0.29. Underneath was an advanced suspension derived from Lotus 12 Formula 2 racing car and used “Chapman struts” at the rear. You can see their tops poking up through the rear window. The resulting build, and combined lighter weight, gave the Elite a nimble, exhilarating performance out of its 75hp 1.2-liter Coventry Climax “Feather Weight Elite” (FEW) inline four-cylinder engine. 1960 Motor magazine road test noted its maximum speed at 111.8 mph with 0–60 mph in 11.4 seconds. “Speed, controllability in all conditions and comfort in all its aspects make this compact two-seat coupe an extremely desirable property,” concluded the road test, calling it a “mettlesome thoroughbred.”
At roughly $5500 with tax, the Series 1 Elite was pricey, but it was gorgeous and fast! Series 2 developments included an improved design of rear suspension, and a better body build by Bristol Aircraft. In 1960, one could option a higher performance, special equipment (SE) Lotus model, like the one seen here. This included a ZF all-synchromesh close-ratio gearbox, two SU carburetors, and a modified exhaust manifold. Altogether, the package developed 85 bhp.
The Lotus Elite offered outstanding performance, but it was expensive to build and nearly bankrupted Lotus. In September 1963, after a mere five years, Elite production came to a halt. Road & Track magazine even ran “An Appreciation and an Obituary” for the elegant little car.

I've always enjoyed studying the gills of mushrooms. The purpose of mushroom gills, also known as lamellae, is to produce and then release spores. When the spores drop to the ground, often they are carried away by the wind.
The link below shares the various ways mushroom gills are attached to the stems. Knowledge is power, folks! :)

This now serves no useful purpose - if it ever did. But it still seems a shame that it is slowly disintegrating. (Like it's not that I am identifying or anything...😉)
The sun was waning as the lights came on at this impressive Provincial government center.
"The purpose of the buildings is to serve as the seat of B.C.’s provincial government. It is here that important decisions are made regarding the province on matters such as health, education, transportation, and housing.
The Parliament Buildings are located on the banks of the Inner Harbour in British Columbia’s capital city, Victoria. As one of the dominant features of the downtown core, B.C.’s government buildings are one of Victoria’s must-see sights, teeming with history and culture. They reside on 12.5 acres of lush property. The Empress Hotel is nearby.
Staying in the area until sun sets is highly recommended. The Parliament Buildings will eventually light up with approximately 3500 energy efficient lightbulbs, highlighting the striking outline of the structure, and making for a great photo opportunity.
Incredibly, the original idea for the lightbulbs was first brought to life in 1897 when the buildings were first completed. This was a time when electricity was still a novel phenomenon. While fewer than there are today, the lightbulbs were strung in honour of Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee, as they were supposed to look like diamonds shining brightly in the darkness. The idea was brought back in the 1960s, and since then, the buildings have been lit every single evening at dusk." victoriabc.ca

The purpose of my drive yesterday was to locate the Northfield Tunnel of the defunct New York Ontario and Western Railroad. I believe when I took the picture I was practically above the portal. Perhaps just past this ridge. But my wounded feet and legs and my arthritic knees ruled out any bushwhacking. In looking for the tunnel I spotted this 1930's era car bodies rusting away.

Sometimes I accidentally on purpose trespass a bit. . These beautiful almond trees were literally right alongside of country roads. One click led to many as I wandered around enjoying the beauty and sounds of birds and the moo of cows. One time as I felt eyes upon me and yes, I was a little bit in on the property. I saw an old farmer standing and looking at me and I thought ahoh so I did a quick Namaste. He smiled and nodded, said take as many pictures as you want, and then he disappeared.
Cymbidiums are found growing naturally in the cool, bright areas near the foothills of the Himalayas. They have a long history of cultivation in China and Japan, where they are also valued for spiritual and medicinal purposes. These beautiful orchids are commonly known as boat orchids.
The main purpose of this photograph is the expression of change in colors, mood and landscape. Focus is not the perfection of overlay of two photos including shadows,... Both were taken in 4 months difference at about the same handheld position.

I have no special talent.
I am only passionately curious. - Albert Einstein
Joy in the universe, and keen curiosity about it all - that has been my religion. - John Burroughs
The four characteristics of humanism are curiosity, a free mind, belief in good taste, and belief in the human race. - E. M. Forster
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. - Albert Einstein
It's daring to be curious about the unknown, to dream big dreams, to live outside prescribed boxes, to take risks, and above all, daring to investigate the way we live until we discover the deepest treasured purpose of why we are here. -

Une raison d'être, une force qui nous renforce, une « lumière directrice » : le but nous donne de la joie, de la motivation et la capacité de persévérer. En tant que photographes, il peut alors être bénéfique de relier notre forme d'art à un but. Ce faisant, nous pouvons trouver une approche plus holistique de la création, nous aidant à maintenir l'inspiration, nous offrant de la variation et des défis et, surtout, nous procurant un sentiment d'accomplissement …
°°°°°°°°°°°°
A reason to be, a strengthening force, a ‘guiding light’ — purpose gives us joy, motivation, and the ability to persevere. As photographers, it may then be beneficial to connect our art form with purpose. In doing so, we may find a more holistic approach to creating — helping us to sustain inspiration, providing us with variation and challenge, and, most importantly, giving us a sense of fulfillment …

This 4 week old Great Horned Owl was photographed in Lancaster County PA, USA
With its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics.

love the way you love me on purpose
How something in your eyes say I deserve this
I'm so used to settling for surface
But you love me like I'm somebody that's worth it
There's nothing accidental here, I'm learning
That all along, my love wasn't a burden
Now it's in the hands of the right person
And you show me how you love me on purpose
