I'm not exactly sure why this upward angle was so appealing to me against the cloudy sky. All I know is 143 shots later I finally stopped. I normally take macro shots of all the rusty nails on this pole. It was a refreshing change to look up. These are my favorites of that memorable day.
my monday loves - refreshing colours - ocean blues with a dash of spring green, fine art and textiles, inspiring St. Ives artist Noel Betowski, soft drawn threads, eco dyed fabrics, mixed media collages, prints, printing, ceramics, paintings, St. Ives, the seaside and raindrops ...
with many thanks to the artists featured here for sharing their work ...

They say it's a good thing to end the year with a bang -- I've chosen to end it with a splash instead. Happy New Year, everyone!
Many a bus station has been provided up and down the country only because its site could be surrounded by or entombed beneath a lucrative shopping or office development. One was never left in any doubt that the bus station was there on sufferance. "We've had to provide these facilities for nothing", the developer seems to say, "now look at dirt-streaked concrete for your imposition, and contemplate lame pigeons standing in oily puddles".
But Western SMT's livery looked good even in the suicidal surroundings of Glasgow's Anderston's Cross Bus Station. It's a pity that the bodywork on the late FLF Lodekkas lacked the band under the upper deck windows, seen on the older vehicle parked behind. Another unwelcome development was that the dummy radiator grille became integral with the fibreglass moulding of the engine cowl, which encouraged many operators to paint it out, badge and all. This bus was one of those that went north of the border in the Anglo-Scottish FLF-VRT exchanges of 1973. The vehicle, which came from the fleet of United Autos, has been equipped with a destination box of the Scottish Bus Group pattern, although a few of the ex-English FLFs were never modified.
I think the "Humpty-Dumpty" poster was the first of the famous "refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach" advertising campaign, which promoted a certain lager beer of Dutch origin. Taken Saturday 7th May 1977.

This Blythe doll is Raspberry Sorbet. The timing was good for this theme (“Refreshing Treat”) in the Blythe a Day group, because as you can see, we have lots of holiday treats on hand right now!

From my archives - January 2005 in NH. I'm uploading this because, well, it is 100F outside and this looks incredibly refreshing today (whereas, yes, at the time it looked quite chilly).
A view of Sandsee, in mid-July, with the Austrian Alps in the background. The lake is at 2600m (8500ft) and the ice layer is beginning to finally melt. A great stopping point to rest and dip the feet into the refreshingly cool, actually ice cold, water.
Sandsee is located above Hochsölden in the Ötztal Valley of Austria.
A mild and beautiful summer evening on a mountain hut - I couldn't resist and had to take a first sip before taking the photograph, so sorry for the fingerprints ...

Theme No.1 is Yellow (#2)
Tuesday Photo View On Black (large size)
I had already set aside photos for my "Yellow" theme yesterday. But seeing them mostly flowers, today I felt the urge to shoot something different. I searched around the house to look for something that will fall under the theme and found a lemon in the fridge.
So I asked myself what would make this subject look interesting in a photo? Ding! and the above photo is the result of that.
I hope you guys will like it. Thank you for your visit.
Explored - Thanks everyone.
