Isolated and unused on the open prairie, an old barn seems to ponder the setting sun, a closing down of yet another day and also its usefulness. Older people often flounder when they no longer are raising children or working at a job. A new sense of usefulness has to be discovered.
"It is time to put all things
behind. You have been made
to enjoy him forever. You are his
child, you are his masterpiece,
designed for a purpose. Put the
old things behind and move
forward along the marvelous
path GOD has set before you.
He has a good plan for you...
press on!"
Clarification: Effectiveness of procedure for pacification purposes when performed on non-organic subjects can be... questionable at best.
Still crawling to the finish. A rather large machine that has experienced some trauma around the torso. It will probably be fine though.
The fact that I still had Metru Matoran limbs after this baffles and irritates me. I don't even know where I got all of them from at this point. Either way, was just a fun build from early last year that I used to try out some things I hadn't tried before; mostly using limb pieces to create paneling of sorts. Also just a fun idea for me, I don't think I've ever intentionally built an unfinished character before so it was neat.

I got my new wellies on and gave them a runout. Not sure I am fussed about this shot but... I am not ashamed of it so it passes that test! I write about my footwear so often, I expect this must seem like the secret diary of a rubbery boot. Sorry!
Nothing exceptional or even particularly interesting happened today. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. Too lazy to go anywhere so am leaving it until tomorrow night to drive out to the coast and watch the sun go down.
Just on the way back from here there was someone on the radio banging on about something being 'not fit for purpose'. I am not sure of its global travel, but this is one of the buzz words of the age. Along with everything being a solution. Pens are 'writing solutions'. I've never had any problem picking up the telephone, yet there are people out there trying to provide me communications solutions. Even dissolvable aspirin probably has 'headache solution solutions' on the label.
Anyway, 'fit for purpose' irritates me. I put on twitter when I got back a lame joke I thought up. It went like this: -
'I bought a new coat for my pet aquatic mammal today, but it was the wrong size. Turned out it wasn't fit for porpoise'.
Boom boom. Day 156 down.
The purpose of a photo charter is to capture memorable images of the railroad at work, often with historical equipment that has been lovingly restored. But I find the chance to meet old friends and make new ones just as rewarding as the photography. Here a gentleman from the Netherlands agreed to put down his camera and wave to the passing train as I captured the moment. Photo taken during a Pete Lerro photo charter on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad starring C&O H-6 2-6-6-2 #1309...and a new friend.
An interesting sunrise from last year. The vapour trails stayed for ages. No idea why.

Inspired by M.C.Escher I've flipped one of my previous uploads of the Tower of the Winds stair and upped the contrast and textures to give a nod towards his iconic artworks. Whereas his works featured endless Mobius loops mine feature stairs that go nowhere.......
I'd always wanted to get inside the Green Templeton College Tower of the Winds and luckily during last years Oxford Open Doors event I was able too. Oxford doesn't have that many spiral stairs surprisingly so it's always good to shoot a new one. I think particularly like shooting them with my 8mm Samyang fisheye.

From Wikipedia, "The Tower of the Winds is the prominent octagonal tower on top of the old Radcliffe Observatory building in Oxford, England. The building now forms a centrepiece for Green Templeton College, one of the colleges of Oxford University.
The tower is based on the ancient and smaller Tower of the Winds in Athens, Greece, built c.100–50BC by Andronicus of Cyrrhus for the purpose of measuring time. It is of octagonal stone construction, with eight relief images of Greek mythological wind gods at the top of each side of the tower, carved by John Bacon the Elder in 1792–4. The tower was completed by James Wyatt in 1794. On the top are Atlas and Hercules supporting a globe in white, also by John Bacon. The reliefs of the signs of the zodiac above the windows on the first floor are made of Coade stone by J. C. F. Rossi. Inside the tower, there are three main rooms on top of each other.
The Tower of the Winds is situated in prominent view just to the north of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter (ROQ), an area for Oxford University departments including the Blavatnik School of Government, and south of Observatory Street, named after its former use as an observatory. To the south is the Mathematical Institute building and Somerville College, juxtaposing the new 21st-century architecture of the buildings with the old 17th-century style of the observatory. To the west is the Jericho Health Centre and beyond that Walton Street, with a view of the tower in the distance from the southern end looking north along the street. To the east are the Woodstock Road and the front entrance of Green Templeton College, with St Anne's College opposite."

If the purpose of a Lowrider is to catch the eye, then these 2 definitely succeeded. A style started in California in mid-to-late 1940s, when Mexican-American barrio youths were lowering their cars by cutting spring coils and painting their cars with fancy colors. "Ride low and slow" was their motto. During the years the style changed a bit and hydraulic suspension systems were added and at some point the bouncing cars were popular. As west coast Hip Hop artists started featuring lowriders in the music videos, lowriders became strongly associated with that musical style. Quite the view to see a car like this bouncing to a rap song while waiting for the green light! The rear car I believe is a Lincoln Town Car and the front a 1965 Chevy Impala SS coupe (thank you Joseph Mazzucco)

In 2022, I returned to Colombia. The main purpose of this trip was to explore the Amazonian rainforest areas near Leticia and then on the Rio Negro. In 2007 I was in the Leticia area on a volunteering project and the 2022 trip gave me the chance to see more of the area.
As these are border areas, with the rivers travelled actually being the borders, I also visited / transitted through Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. I will create one master set / album for the entire six week trip, plus separate country albums to help viewers who are interested only in a specific country.
I also spent time in Bogota and in the Boyaca region. Overall intinerary: London - Leticia - Bogota - Villavincenzio - Rio Negro - Puerto Inirida - Bogota (incl Nemocon) - Villa de Leyva - Tunja - Bogota - London.

The purpose of the Argonaut expedition was to fly to King Pelias of the Golden Fleece from Colchis (AIA), which was in the depths of the Black Sea.
The Golden Fleece was the ram, which went Frixos to escape from his father, the king of Orchomenos Boeotia, and stepmother, who were ready to sacrifice the. Frixos finally arrived at the court of King Aetes, who received him with honors and gave him the daughter of a woman. When Frixos sacrificed the ram to Zeus, gave his skin to Aetes, who hung an oak tree in the grove of Mars and put a dragon to tribes, day and night.
The cause of the Argonaut expedition was as follows: King Pelias of Thessaly in Lokridas had received prophecies that killed by a descendant of Aeolus and stored by a man who will be wearing a sandal. When Pelias saw Jason in front of him, wearing a sandal just in his right leg to him away from him, gave him a mandate to bring back the Golden Fleece.
The campaign took part all the Greek heroes, fifty in number, including Hercules. Among them were the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, Idas and Lynkeas, Orpheus, Peleus, the Meleager, Tydeus by the Amphiaraos, and Hunter Atalanta, the only woman.
The leader of the campaign was Jason when requested by Hercules, who had only to complete the feat of Erymanthoy boar, to take leadership, not consent.
The ship for the voyage was made by Argos, the son of Phrixus, from which it got its name, Argo. It was made from trees of Mount Pelion, under the guidance of the goddess Athena. Had fifty oars and stern Athena had put a piece of the sacred oak of talking Dodonon.
Pagases sailed from the port of Iolkou. When the ship arrived in Mysia, the Hylas, the companion of Herakles left, and went to bring water and Heracles was left behind to find him, so he took part in another campaign.
The Argonauts, after many adventures reached the mouth of the River Stage in Colchis.
There, the king Aeëtes promised to give the Golden Fleece, if Jason sow first of the remaining teeth of the dragon, which was not used by Cadmus in Thebes and zepsei two steers that were making fire from their nostrils and had steel legs .
Jason with the help of Medea, the daughter of Aetes, which had fallen in love, managed to get the golden skin. Along with Medea, took the way back, but fell into a big storm and found in Italy. Finally after many adventures, arrived back in Iolko.
Essaouira is protected by a natural bay partially shielded by wave action by the Iles Purpuraires. A broad sandy beach extends from the harbour south of Essaourira, at which point the Oued Ksob discharges to the ocean; south of the discharge lies the archaeological ruin, the Bordj El Berod.[1] The Canary Current is responsible for the generally southward movement of ocean circulation and has led to enhancement of the local fishery.[2] The village of Diabat lies about five kilometres south of Essaouira, immediately south of the Oued Ksob.
Essaouria connects to Safi to the north and to Agadir to the south via the N1 road and to Marrakech to the east via the R 207 road. There is a small airport some 7-8 km away from the town, which schedules several flights a week to Casablanca.
The Medina of Essaouira (formerly "Mogador") is a UNESCO World Heritage Listed city, as an example of a late 18th century fortified town, as transferred to North Africa.
The fishing harbour, suffering from the competition of Agadir and Safi remains rather small, although the catches (sardines, conger eels) are surprisingly abundant due to the coastal upwelling generated by the powerful trade winds and the Canaries Current.
There are only a handful of modern purpose-built hotels within the walls of the old city. The medina is home to many small arts and crafts businesses, notably cabinet making and 'thuya' wood-carving (using roots of the Tetraclinis tree), both of which have been practised in Essaouira for centuries.
Essaouira is also renowned for its kitesurfing and windsurfing, with the powerful trade wind blowing almost constantly onto the protected, almost waveless, bay. Several world-class clubs rent top-notch material on a weekly basis.
Parasols tend to be used on the beach as a protection against the wind and the blowing sand. Camel excursions are available on the beach and into the desert band in the interior.
Essaouira is the site of an annual pilgrimage to the grave of Rabbi Chaim Pinto, whose home and synagogue are preserved as an historic and religious site, the Chaim Pinto Synagogue. The Simon Attias Synagogue is also still standing.
I want to be able to do this. Just to be able to stop in the middle of something and just take in the moment...
I walked into Bullseye with a purpose, but as soon as I stepped through the sliding doors, I felt the familiar rush of excitement. The holiday season was in full swing, and my mind was set on finding the perfect decorations for my sister Quency's Christmas tree. She always had a way of turning her living room into something magical, and this year, I promised to help her make it even more special.
I grabbed a red cart and made my way through the aisles, eyeing shimmering garlands, twinkling lights, and a mix of ornaments in every color imaginable. As I picked up a few glass baubles that shimmered in the store lights, I couldn't help but smile. It was funny how something as simple as Christmas decorations could bring back so many memories.

What does it mean when robins sing?
Its purpose is two-fold: to defend a territory and to attract a mate. Therefore, spring song is far more powerful in males. Robins are adapted to life in poor light and are often active in half-light when few other birds are about.
The robin is one of the few birds in the UK that sing all year round. This is due to the importance of holding winter territories.
Only for a short period in late summer while they are moulting and inconspicuous do robins stop singing. Both sexes sing.
As with the nightingale, the song is usually delivered from a concealed perch within a bush or a tree exposed perches are infrequent. Autumn and spring songs are distinctly different. The autumn song starts after the moult, from late summer onwards. It is more subdued and melancholy in its tone, while the spring song is powerful, confident and upbeat.
The spring song can start as early as mid-December, reaching full force in spring. Its purpose is two-fold: to defend a territory and to attract a mate. Therefore, spring song is far more powerful in males.
Thank you so much for visiting my stream, whether you comments , favorites or just have a look.

Rocketdyne produced seven serialized high-fidelity F-1 engine mock-ups. Although non-functional, they were used for early engineering purposes. Most are/were? mounted on test (i.e., non-flight) Saturn V first stages.
In this photograph, the second of these, FM-101 (the first being FM-100), was featured in a paper written by D. E. Aldrich & D. J. Sanchini of the Rocketdyne Division of North American Aviation. See:
heroicrelics.org/info/f-1/fm-101/fm-101.jpg
“I don't know exactly when FM-101 (or any of these engine mock-ups) were manufactured, but they certainly reflect an early design:
- There is no provision for thermal insulation.
- There is no interface panel.
- The fuel high-pressure ducts are straight, rather than the "U"-shaped ducts which characterized later production engines.
- The LOX dome has twin-elbow inlets.
F-1 engine mock-up FM-103 is on display in the Kennedy Space Center Rocket Garden (where, oddly enough, it is completely painted silver).”
The direct copy/paste above is in quotations, along with my paraphrasing from Mike Jetzer’s superlative “HEROIC RELICS” website, which he gleaned from Alan Lawrie’s book “Saturn” and a paper, “Saturn V Booster – The F-1 Engine”, by D. E. Aldrich, located in the Saturn V Collection, Dept. of Archives/Special Collections, M. Louis Salmon Library, University of Alabama in Huntsville, at:
heroicrelics.org/info/f-1/fm-101.html
I’m hoping the above is no longer the case, and that FM-103 was moved out of the elements into the Apollo/Saturn V Center.

Wait…one more. Look at the multiple monstrous card catalog cabinets behind the F-1! Commensurate with the size of the the engine.

Spent a couple evenings in the city while i was up north. Decided to try some night photography and this was one of the shots i kinds liked!
“Gotham” at night is a lot of fun. The lights and reflections make for an interesting challenge for me since i rarely get to shoot in the dark. Where i live is so rural and so dark....and there is the risk of coyote and bear if i stay out too long! don’t get me wrong, i love them but i also like to be able to see them! Here there are only 2 legged animals and i am pretty sure they are there for the purpose of sightseeing!
The tree was up but still scaffolded, but the skaters were out in force, enjoying a pretty mild evening in the city!
Shooting in the dark was fun, and i will go back for more another time.....like when it gets a bit less chilly!
Guinevere Fouroux's smile deepens when she feels his fingers wrap around hers. It's a small, quiet triumph, a victory, made even sweeter by the ghost of a smile--a real one, however shadowed--quirking his lips.
"I don't suppose I could talk you into dialing down the inspiration, when it comes to keeping you safe, can I?" She sighs, dramatically. "I would guess not, but a girl can dream..."
Eamon Cale's small grin deepens into something genuine. A rare smile, this, one he shows few, but it smooths the harsh lines from his face, and even the bruises and lacerations are softened by it. "Not a chance," he says, and suddenly leans forward, clasping her hand in both of his. His elbows rest on his knees, his back is bowed, but his head is up and his eyes are suddenly alight. "Do ye know what they said to me, in the Leviathan gaol? That Dr. Asbrink, the one who gets his jollies 'experimenting' on the hybrids. He said I'd been put there because I dared to bring hope to Midian. Because I preached freedom." His grin flashes again, boyish and oddly triumphant. "Best fecking compliment I'd ever received."

"Hurray for a child
That makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you
They're laid to rest
Before they know just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they could never find
What's this life for
I see your soul, it's kind of gray
I see your heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane"
Me encanta cuando de vez en cuando hacemos equipo con mi marido. El viaja y hace fotos y luego me las trae y yo las edito :)

A large, former dairy barn is now used to shelter a few horses, a significant departure from its purpose years ago. Older people need a new purpose as they age otherwise deterioration sets in more quickly.

Hey guys, here's an updated version of my Model T. Probably gonna do a new grille. Hope you like it!
Also, I was wondering your guys' opinion- should I make Ypres very large, or instead build several separate 32x32s? The others would be the USMC bombing of Tielt, a BL-2 Howitzer at the Somme, and the Siege of Antwerp.
