Anchored with Purpose
The Korana carries everything in its path – branches, leaves, fragments of its own shore. The water is still high, still restless.
Yet this boat remains.
Half on land, half in the river. Secured by chain – not out of fear, but certainty. Suspended between movement and stillness.
Sometimes strength is not in drifting forward, but in knowing where you belong.

Mir koji nije slučajan
Korana nosi sve što joj se nađe na putu. Grančice, lišće, komadiće obale. Visoki vodostaj još uvijek ostavlja trag, a voda je mutna i nemirna.
Ipak, ovaj čamac ne ide nikamo.
Izvučen do pola na obalu, pramac već na suhom, krma još u rijeci. Čvrsto vezan lancem – ne iz straha, nego iz sigurnosti. Između nemira i mira, između odlaska i ostanka.
Možda smo svi ponekad takvi. Svijet teče, nosi, mijenja. A mi biramo stati. Ne zato što ne možemo dalje, nego zato što znamo gdje pripadamo.

A covered bridge is a timber-truss bridge with a roof, decking, and siding, which in most covered bridges create an almost complete enclosure. The purpose of the covering is to protect the wooden structural members from the weather. Uncovered wooden bridges typically have a lifespan of only 20 years because of the effects of rain and sun, but a covered bridge can last over 100 years. In the United States, only about 1 in 10 survived the 20th century. The relatively small number of surviving bridges is due to deliberate replacement, neglect, and the high cost of restoration.
Surviving covered bridges often attract touristic attention due to their rarity, quaint appearance, and bucolic settings. Many are considered historic and have been the subject of historic preservation campaigns.
Typically, covered bridges are structures with longitudinal timber-trusses which form the bridge's backbone. Some were built as railway bridges, using very heavy timbers and doubled up lattice work.
In Canada and the U.S., numerous timber covered bridges were built in the late 1700s to the late 1800s, reminiscent of earlier designs in Germany and Switzerland. They tend to be in isolated places, making them vulnerable to vandalism and arson.
Ken is a German Pointer who lives the life of Riley at Bonsi a lovely estate in Tuscany. His owner is one of the sons of a great friend of my sister-in-law's.
The German Shorthaired Pointer is a breed of medium-sized pointing dog developed in nineteenth century Germany. It is energetic and powerful, with strong legs and great endurance. It is a versatile all-purpose gun dog suitable for hunting and retrieving on both land and water, with a strong drive to find and chase game. It may also be kept as a companion dog, though as a high-energy sporting dog, it requires significant amounts of exercise.
German Shorthaired Pointers have a short coat that comes in various combinations, generally a mix of liver and white. They have moderately long floppy ears set high on the head. Longer, broad, and strong, muzzles allow retrieval of heavier game. The dog's profile should be straight or strongly Roman nosed; any dished appearance to the profile is incorrect according to breed standards. Their eyes are generally brown, with darker ones being desirable; yellow or "bird of prey" eyes are a fault. The tail is commonly docked, although that is now prohibited in some countries. In competition, they are penalized if the tail is curved either up or down while the dog is moving. When the GSP is in classic point stance, the tail should be held straight out from the body, forming a line with the pointing head and body. Like all German pointers, GSPs have webbed feet, and are known for going after waterfowl in the water.
The German Shorthaired Pointer is a member of the Sporting Group] In 2016, CJ, a three-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, won the Best in Show award at the 140th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

The Tenuta i Bonsi, set in the magical landscape of the Tuscan hills of Reggello a few kilometers from Florence, for more than a century has been devoted to producing high quality olive oil and wine and the reception of guests who want to discover the rustic charm and elegance of this beautiful Tuscan farmhouse cum Castle.
The history of the village is full of interest, and has its roots in the 15th century. The historic home is also of great interest, beginning as a defensive Castle of a leading Florentine family and later became the "600 Balmaceda" a convent of Carmelite friars. Its current appearance is the work of the Florentine painter Raffaello Sorbi.
Today, the estate is owned and managed by the family Budini Gattai, who create products of high quality: ORGANIC extra virgin olive oil and red wine IGT.
Tenuta i Bonsi unites tradition with modernity, with particular attention to respect for the environment and renewable energy: thanks to the skilful use of scraps from the olive pit, heat can be provided by great alternative fuel pellets which can be purchased at the Guest House.

Today’s post is an old one but a good one. The location is smith rock state park, and the image was taken during our second visit. Unlike our first time there, the clouds never caught on the color as I hoped, but there was still some color by the horizon to make the image interesting. The main challenge at this location was that the light was behind the rock formations, and I had to get to the tallest vantage point to include some color in the sky. Thankfully, I found a viewpoint without the railings obscuring the foreground.
The purpose of formation is for the reduction of ego?
and I do lament that....

It's not always possible to shoot in beautiful morning or evening light. On such occasions lighting can get harsh.
One solution is to shoot high key images such as seen here. By overexposing multiple stops and doing some work in post-processing, one can get results like this from the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.

“For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to him who judges righteously; and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.” (Peter 2:21-25)
"He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)

Hi everyone,
There are few birds more beautiful than lilac breasted rollers.
I was very fortunate to spend about an hour photographing them one morning on the Chobe river in Botswana.
Definitely a highlight of my time in the region.

It was built at the end of 19th Century by master-builders Pyrch Mykhailo Mykhailovych and Pyrch Fedir Mykhailovych and re-built in 1946. After Prykarpattia’s joining to the Soviet Ukraine, the mill became the property of a local collective farm. It was used for its intended purpose. In 1960th, after a water flood it didn’t function till 1970th, when transferred to the Museum. The mill stayed on a bank of a torrent, flowing out of Shypit water flow.
The building has a double-room log construction. It consists of a “shack” to shelter the visiting farmers and a mill itself with mechanism. It has two waterwheels and two pairs of stones – grinding plates.
The flouring mill is built of smereka wood. Its high roof is covered by combination of straw and wood. It is the only showpiece of the museum with such combination of roofing techniques.
To grind corn, water should be forwarded to the walls. For this purpose, the stream has been dammed up by smereka timbers. Water taken from the torrent passed by hollowed-up logs to the upper wheels; they turned the axles with wheels – gears, and they tuned a shaft and the upper stone. Grains had to be loaded into a hopper fixed above, and flour fell into a through, fixed under the lower stone.
Total area of the building is 62.7 square meters.
Млин із села Пилипець, Міжгірського району, Закарпатської області.
Збудований наприкінці ХІХ ст. Майстри-будівничі - Пирч Михайло Михайлович і Пирч Федір Михайлович. В 1946 році його перебудували. Після приєднання Закарпаття до радянської України млин став власністю колгоспу, використовувався за призначенням. В 1960-х роках після повені млин не функціонував до 1970-х років, коли його перевезли до Музею. Млин стояв на березі стрімкого потоку, що витікає з водопаду Шипіт.
Споруда має двокамерну зрубну конструкцію і складається з «хижі» - приміщення, де жили і відпочивали приїжджі селяни, і млина з механізмом. Він має два водяних колеса і дві пари каменів – жорен.
Млин збудований із смерекового дерева. Високий дах комбінований, покритий соломою і деревом. В музеї це єдиний експонат, де поєднано різні матеріали та покрівельні техніки.
Щоб перемолоти збіжжя, треба було спрямувати воду на колеса. Для цього потік перегороджувався гаттю із смерекових колод. Воду з потоку подавали довбаними колодами до верхніх коліс, які обертали вали із закріпленими на них колесами – шестернями, а вони обертали веретено і верхній камінь. Зерно засипали в кіш, що кріпиться зверху, а борошно сиплеться в корито, яке закріплене внизу нижнього каменю.
Загальна площа споруди – 62,7 кв.м.
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.
My whole purpose in starting to plan my journey to the Western Isles was to visit Kisimul Castle. It's worth seeing, just because of it's unusual location. There's much more to be seen.

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! :)

sevilla, 2025. beneath the concrete mushroom. a man walks into the light, leaving the shadows behind. a choice is made in that brief step. the architecture dictates the stage, but the man dictates the movement. it is a moment of stark clarity in a world of complex darkness. every step is an act of will. simple, final.
NYC, 2022
The original purpose of the "Water Towers" was quite utilitarian. These large, usually wooden storage tanks holding thousands of gallons of water were designed to regulate the flow and pressure of water in buildings taller than six stories. Though they were first introduced over a century ago, thousands of them still remain scattered all around the city. They are so ubiquitous a feature of the city's skyline that many speak of them as architectural icons of NYC. During this weekend's snow storm, I couldn't help thinking that these rather homely structures which sit on the roofs of tall buildings exposed to the elements , epitomize the city's own resilience and endurance under adverse conditions- natural or man made
I am delighted with the good photos that the theme of the week has given! Congratulations to all of you, you're all craks!
Give me poison I want to live.
Using the syringe to make the water drops, this picture came up, remembering hard moments of a family illness.
But with the pandemic we're living through, it fits too.
The composition is a gauze in the foreground, the syringe because almost everything they put in a vein contains water, in the background some pills and I put a little color with some flowers because the purpose of all this is to give a color to life.
Greetings and happy week.

Estoy encantada con las buenas fotos que ha dado el tema de la semana! Felicidades a todos sois unos craks!!
Dame veneno que quiero vivir.
Utilizando la jeringuilla para hacer las gotas de agua surgió esta foto,recordando momentos duros de una enfermedad familiar.
Pero con la pandemia que estamos viviendo también encaja.
La composición es una gasa en primer plano, la jeringuilla porque casi todo que nos meten en vena contiene agua , de fondo unas pastillas y le puse un poco de color con unas flores porque el fin de todo esto es poder darle un color a la vida.
Saludos y feliz semana.

the world is a complicated and imperfect place. it is made of hard edges and compromises. but for a moment, a different set of rules applies. a perfect sphere is created from nothing but soap and air. it is a brief, impossible object, and its only purpose is to exist beautifully before it disappears. the child understands this. it is the first and most important lesson in physics. and in joy.
So yah I guess this might be part of a series I've been planning on doing but I'm not really sure. The series I'm doing is part of some annoying thing for school where we like make work based upon a thesis, but I have such terrible senioritis that it's hard to take anything seriously anymore, I've moved on to the cooper union crowd haha. But yah I was going to do like images that depict the search for something dead, like as in a physically dead creature. The whole purpose for me is to question death and if anything can truly die/ if we can revisit the dead and the ramifications of that. To be completely honest idek if I like this, and I wasn't planning on uploading it but whatever. I'm finally going to get a proper lens tomorrow and not have to be all ghetto off branding it and stuff.
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.
A different point of view!!
The marigold - a pretty, all-purpose plant with a wide range of medicinal effects. All of them made possible by the essential oils and resins trapped in the bright yellow flowers.
The friendly flower's willingness to bloom is undeniable. Because its blossom shone in vibrant yellow and gold every month from June to October, the Romans called it calendula, referring to the first day of the month.
The main medicinal applications of marigold are skin conditions of all kinds, including contusions, bruises and varicose veins. Minor skin injuries and inflammation can also be successfully treated. Marigold ointment promotes wound healing for eczema and sunburns. The fresh flowers must be preserved in olive oil and then stored in a cool and dark place. After three weeks, the filtered oil can be mixed with wax to make the ointment. Decanted into a jar, the ointment can set and will now last several months.

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.
