Seen during a walk in a previously unexplored part of the village. The sky was washed out so I took the liberty of adding one of my own.
The Bears wanted me to get out some of their furniture to enjoy on the deck. Before all the good weather goes away. It is small enough that it was not much of a problem.

Blackrock Cottage, another very popular stop off when visiting the Glencoe area. It had snowed overnight which gave it that extra appeal.
I allowed the three bears to go out for a bit the other day. On the condition they would not freak out the neighbours in our new place.
They behaved pretty well.

Just an interesting collection of old buildings in the town of Buffalo, Missouri. The door used to be red, but has weathered over the years and is more of a dusty pink. The skies, however, are that bluebird blue of early fall....
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

This is Elton. I am not sure if Elton has been in many photos if any. Good thing his name is on his fabric label on the bum, because I cannot remember all their names.

Took this farm scene shot off I-80 between Reno and Border Town, Nevada. It had rained then snow that morning in Reno and up in the mountains. Fortunately, spring is winning, and Donner Pass opened and I was able to make it to Sacramento for my pickup. Grandview Washington tonight, no idea where I'm heading next.

These sets of images are more from my door, door knockers, shutters and windows collection. I’ve added a few from overseas to the mix plus the odd Blue Plaque. There are many more to follow. This series are of Doors etc., from Overseas
Last time I was passing by, I hadn't any camera with me and had to cope with an iPhone shot (below). The result was okay, but I wanted more. Now I just went back there with the proper equipment.
Older iPhone picture:
Hexagonal in shape, Gibraltar Point Lighthouse was built of limestone from the Queenston Quarry near Niagara River and originally stood sixteen metres (fifty-two feet) tall, until it was raised nine metres (thirty-feet) in 1832 to a total height of twenty-five metres (eight-two feet). No light was shown from the lighthouse from May 30 until nearly the end of June in 1932 while the lighthouse was being modified.
John P. Rademuller was hired as the first keeper of the lighthouse, and he served until he met a tragic end, as reported in the January 14, 1815 edition of theYork Gazette:
Died on the evening of the 2nd of January, J.P. Rademuller, keeper of the lighthouse on Gibraltar Point. From circumstances, there is moral proof of his having been murdered. If the horrid crime admits of aggravation when the inoffensive and benevolent character of the unfortunate sufferer are considered, his murder will be pronounced most barbarous and inhuman. The parties lost with him are the proposed perpetrators and are in prison.
Three months later, the Gazette reported, “No conviction of the supposed murderers of the late J.P. Rademuller.” Though the details of what happened that night in January 1815 have been lost, legend has it that soldiers from the York garrison visited Gibraltar Point that night to obtain beer from Keeper Rademuller. Some accounts say the keeper refused to sell to the soldiers, and others claim he overcharged them, but all agree that the soldiers became enraged, killed the keeper, and disposed of his body.

Book quote from the incredible novel Waking Lions by Ayelet Gundar-Goshen. Her newest one, The Liar is very different but also well worth reading.

Last one from the traditional houses in Madeira. I liked this one because of the comfy chairs, wish I could sit there just now.

Quote from "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"
The current Jewish Museum Berlin was opened in 2001 and is the largest Jewish museum in Europe. It consists of three buildings, two of which are new additions specifically built for the museum by architect Daniel Libeskind. German-Jewish history is documented in the collections, the library and the archive, and is reflected in the museum's program of events. The museum is one of Germany’s most frequented museums (more than 10.8 million visitors between 2001 and 2016).
Opposite the building ensemble, the W. Michael Blumenthal Academy of the Jewish Museum Berlin was built – also after a design by Libeskind – in 2011/2012 in the former flower market hall. The archives, library, museum education department, a lecture hall and the Diaspora Garden can all be found in the academy.

Das Jüdische Museum Berlin ist das größte jüdische Museum Europas. Es gibt dem Besucher in der Dauerausstellung einen Überblick über 1700 Jahre deutsch-jüdischer Geschichte, darunter Höhe- und Tiefpunkte der Beziehungen zwischen Juden und Nichtjuden in Deutschland.
Zum Museum zählen außerdem ein Archiv, eine Bibliothek und die Akademie. Diese Abteilungen dienen dazu, jüdische Kultur und jüdisch-deutsche Geschichte zu vermitteln.
Das Museum im Berliner Ortsteil Kreuzberg besteht aus dem Altbau des barocken Kollegienhauses und dem zickzackförmigen Neubau des US-amerikanischen Architekten Daniel Libeskind. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Lindenstraße entstand seit 2011 in der ehemaligen Blumengroßmarkthalle die Akademie des Jüdischen Museums, ebenfalls nach einem Entwurf von Libeskind. In der Akademie befinden sich das Archiv, die Bibliothek, die Museumspädagogik, der Garten der Diaspora und ein Veranstaltungssaal. Das Museum ist eine Stiftung öffentlichen Rechts in der Verantwortung des Bundes.
Von der Eröffnung 2001 bis Ende 2016 hatte das Museum mehr als 10,8 Millionen Besucher und zählt zu den meistbesuchten Museen Deutschlands.
