By the way, Ive just replaced the vertical photo with this same view, which is wide angle and is probably better I think!!
Ill find out!
Have a great one my friends!
Pat.
This is my fave view if the bridge but people seem to prefer the other photo. Maybe its that this one is slightly hazy and the bridge is not so distinct. Isnt it wonderful how peoples taste vary? Have a great day everybody! Pat.
15/6/2016 Now Im eating my words , again!!! Ha ha!
Super really! Pat.
I much prefer to replace the original S&W (Smith & Wesson) by this S&W (Smile & Wheat).
Prefiero por mucho cambiar el original S&W (Smith & Wesson), que son armas, por este S&W (sonrisa y trigo).
A brightly coloured bird, the golden-browed chlorophonia is distinctive within its range. The male is bright green above and yellow below, with a wide golden-yellow eyebrow stripe and a violet-blue cap. It has a narrow blue eye ring and a thin blue line extending from its nape to its breast. The female is similar, but without the golden brown and yellow breast; these are both replaced with green. They average 13 cm (5.1 in) in length.
The Tüshaus mill is a water mill near Dorsten-Deuten in North Rhine-Westphalia. The mill is located on the southern edge of the forest area of Üfter Mark, where the water of the Hammbach River from Rhade is stowed to the mill pond.
The history of the Tüshaus-Hof, to which the mill belongs, can be traced back to 1382. The lords of Lembeck, who held the water law in their territory, leased a whale mill driven by the water of the Hammbach in 1615 to a certain Mr. Tuschhaus.
However, the mill was not the first building on this site, as it was built on older foundations. Sheep were mainly kept in the extensive heathland surrounding the area. The wool was rolled in the Tüshaus mill by a hammer mill and sold as felt material to the region's cloth makers for further processing. The billing books include customers from Wesel, Recklinghausen, Westerholt, Dülmen, Münster and Dinxperlo.
The mill had already been increased in 1752 and expanded by a second mill wheel, so that since 1754 it also served the tenant Joan-Heinrich Tüshaus as an oil mill. The oil was obtained mainly from the rapeseed and linseed of the surrounding fields. In 1880 Albert Brosthaus was the Ölmüller, followed by Dumpe and Schetter. The old plants of the oil mill were replaced in 1914 by a modern hydraulic oil mill, which pressed the oil out of the seeds with 350 atü. The operation of the oil mill was discontinued around 1948 for economic reasons.

Mimus gilvus (Tropical Mockingbird / Sinsonte tropical)
The Tropical Mockingbird is the neotropical counterpart to the Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottus), replacing Northern Mockingbird south of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The two species are similar in appearance, but Tropical Mockingbird has less white in the wings, lacking the white primary coverts and white bases to the primaries of Northern Mockingbird.

At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot), which is a royal castle built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence, but it was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859 (which spared only the chapel and audience chamber). The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.
So yes, this is a 19th century vision of how a Renaissance ceiling should look like.
I continue to replace images that I posted before with a new version that I like better. Morning Glory is one of my favorite flowers in the garden. I start them from seed and enjoy seeing than blossom. Each stage of the flower is fascinating to photograph.
These folks have replaced the traditional barking dog with ‘guard cacti’. Really who says cacti in everyday speak? The fence is only in the front of the property and does not extend around the side. Obviously there are plans for more cactus plants in the future. I think there should be a sign saying, “Beware of Cacti. Get the point? You could be stuck until the police arrive.” As Robin would say, “Holy prickly situation, Batman.”

A plain white cloudy background was replaced by one a bit more pleasing! ;)
Aw !!!!! As you can see in my today's photos, their blooms are soooo adorably and deliciously formed, so gracefully colored!!! The plants are so generously built and colored !! The Divine Creator was full of inspiration and joy , really, while creating the blooms of these Beauties : Hydrangeas or Hortansias! ( Hydrangea = Hydra+Gea = Filled with water + earth, in Greek, implies that Hydrangeas are really fond of humid soil and atmosphere!!)
In my garden, they replace in July certain large-bloomed Roses in blooming, while these first ones carry faded rose blooms, and are being prepared for their second wave of blooming!! Therefore, the garden remains colorful non stop!! Which was really my target-aim while organizing its creation and planting in the mixed borders.…
Hydrangeas are generally carrying two types of blooms in various sizes and colors, according to the unique characteristics of each plant! They are either round bloomed-– Hydrangeas Mopheads--- or disc-like bloomed –Lacecup Hydrangeas Macrophyllas!
You can read here in this BBC ’s special gardening website how to grow them successfully!! www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/how-to-grow-hyd...
The first attempt to replace the wooden fort with a stone kremlin was recorded in 1374, but construction was limited to a single tower, known as the Dmitrovskaya Tower (this has not survived). Under the rule of Ivan III, Nizhny Novgorod played the role of a guard city, having a permanent garrison; it served as a place for gathering troops for Moscow’s actions against the Khanate of Kazan. In order to strengthen the defenses of the city, construction works on the walls began again.
Construction of the stone Kremlin of Nizhny Novgorod began in 1500 with the building of the Ivanovskaya Tower; the main work commenced in 1508 and by 1515 a grandiose building was completed. The oak walls that formed the old fortifications were destroyed by a huge fire in 1513. The two kilometer wall was reinforced by 13 towers (one of them – Zachatskaya – was on the shore of the Volga; not preserved, but was rebuilt in 2012). This “Stone City” had a permanent garrison with solid artillery weapons. With the fall of Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin lost its military significance, and later it housed the city and provincial authorities.
Memorial “Gorky for the front!” on the territory of the Kremlin between Dmitrovskaya and Kladovaya (Pantry) towers. 1986
During the World War II, the roofs of the Taynitskaya, the Severnaya, and the Chasovaya Towers were dismantled and anti-aircraft machine guns were installed on the upper platforms. Thus, the fortress defended the airspace of the city from the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe bombed the Kanavinsky Bridge and the Fair, but the Kremlin's air defense defended these objects.
The Council of Ministers of the RSFSR issued an order on January 30, 1949 for the restoration of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin.
In October 2018, archaeologists discovered the remains of a medieval settlement and cemetery on the site of the destroyed church of St. Simeon Stylites. The finds belong to the 13th century, and the most ancient cultural layer - to 1221, when Nizhny Novgorod was founded. After all the excavations, the exhibits will be museified, and the church of St. Simeon the Stylite will be recreated at this place.
In 2021, before the 800th anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod, a major restoration was carried out. Under its terms, the most important thing was the restoration of the historic "battle road" inside the Kremlin wall. The city had been waiting for this event for 230 years. Since August 2021, locals and tourists can walk a full circular route along the large fortress wall while inside it. Its length is 2 km.
Located in the Ostiense district of Rome, its original appearance underwent a restructuring in period style and the mosaic of its façade was replaced because it was destroyed. Inside you can find a coffered ceiling and eighty columns of granite, also we have some beautiful remnants of the original basilica.

This was made with my first attempt to create a texture. It's quite basic made using watercolor paper and charcoal, scanned into the computer. Unfortunately I hadnt realised the paper was too large for the scanner so it was quite what I had wanted. The photo has had the usual treatment in photomatix and photoshop.
Back rested and bright eyed and bushy tailed I am starting with one of my favorite views of Haarlem which is the backside approach to the Nieuwe Kerk the scene always appears to me as a picture waiting to be captured and a fitting end to my reworks of Haarlem.
Originally there stood a cramped and falling down gothic St. Anne's chapel which the Nieuwe Kerk replaced in 1649 by Jacob van Campen’s Gothic austere design as Haarlem’s first stone built protestant church but keeping the locally designed Renaissance tower by Lieven de Key by request of the city .
This style of protestant church was designed to focus the congregants attention on the pulpit instead of the ornamentation and the outside was to represent the temple keep in Jerusalem.
The Nieuwe Kerk also served a more practical reason as well, in the winter the Grote Kerk is freezing and there is not an easy way to heat it comfortably to make it bearable for the attendees so during the colder months of the year the congregation moves into a much smaller warmer space of the New Church.

Born in 1776, William John Bankes was as a young man an aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington and became an active Member of Parliament.
While in residence at Kingston Lacy, William John made many changes, including the installation of the Egyptian obelisk that may be seen in the gardens to this day. One of the first things he did was to plant a beech avenue lining the road from near the house’s entrance drive to beyond Badbury Rings. The road was a turnpike, and the Bankes family enjoyed the revenue from it. The avenue was a birthday gift to William John’s mother, Frances, and there were 365 trees on one side of the road for each day of the year and 366 on the other, for a leap year.
Today the road is the B3082, the main route between Wimborne and Blandford. The trees are not surprisingly showing signs of age and disease. The National Trust have so far replaced some seventy of them with hornbeams, which are just as attractive but are better able to withstand the disadvantages of being alongside a busy road.

ENG: The Schäzlerpalais Staircase in Augsburg can be seen, this museum houses the municipal and state art collection. It is located at the Herkulesbrunnen, directly at the corner of Maximilianstraße and Katharinengasse and used to be the city palace of a banker.
The former Palais House on site was replaced by a new building in 1765. This rococo palace was built according to plans by the Munich court architect Karl Albert von Lespilliez. The construction work took four and a half years. In October 1958, Wolfgang Freiherr von Schaezler (fourth generation) donated the building to the city of Augsburg on condition that it never be sold and used exclusively for cultural purposes.
GER: Zu sehen ist das Augsburger Schäzlerpalais Treppenhaus, dieses Museum beherbergt die städtische und staatliche Kunstsammlung. Es liegt am Herkulesbrunnen, direkt an der Maximilianstraße Ecke Katharinengasse und war früher das Stadtschloss eines Bankiers.
Das ehemalige Palais Haus vor Ort wurde ab 1765 durch einen Neubau ersetzt. Dieses Rokoko-Palais entstand nach Plänen des Münchner Hofbaumeisters Karl Albert von Lespilliez. Die Baumaßnahmen dauerten viereinhalb Jahre. Im Oktober 1958 schenkte Wolfgang Freiherr von Schaezler (in vierter Generation) das Gebäude der Stadt Augsburg mit der Auflage, es niemals zu veräußern und ausschließlich für kulturelle Zwecke zu nutzen.

Far removed from its intended role of moving heavy trains through the countless tunnels found on the ex-SP mountain lines, DMIR 400 can still haul with the best of them, but leaves that to the newer state-of-art roster mates. These days it toils in taconite service in the iron ore mining districts around Lake Superior for new employer Canadien National, but much like its time on the Southern Pacific, its days are numbered. With the advent of rebuilt power soon to replace it and its brethren, it’s reported to be their last winter in service. However, on this gloomy autumn day it was just another day at work as it crossed County Road 8.
With the invention of cannons this castle got vulnerable and was replaced by Elizabeth Castle in St. Helier. This is the typical postcard view but still I like it.
Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot) is a palatial complex in Hillerød, Denmark. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in the early 17th century, replacing an older castle acquired by Frederick II and becoming the largest Renaissance residence in Scandinavia. Situated on three islets in the Slotssøen (castle lake), it is adjoined by a large formal garden in the Baroque style. (Wikipedia)
When Iceland changed from left hand traffic to right hand traffic in 1968 the whole bus fleet in Reykjavík had to be renowed and all the old yellow buses where replaced by beautiful new, green Volvo buses. After faithful service this one was parked in the beautiful valley Vatnsdalur in northern Iceland where it now gives horses a shelter from the storm.
I replaced the small perch wih a stick I had found at one of the rapids in the Rio Grande. I put the camera on the tripod a few feet way. Then I set up my Canon R7 to be controlled by the Canon app in my iPhone while I was inside the house. Then just waited, and waited. And then waited some more. Finally, my small friend showed up late in the day as the light was going down. In my excitement I did not raise the ISO. I was lucky to get one sharp frame at 1/15 sec.
The westbound Borealis overtakes a loaded BNSF sand train on the joint trackage west of St. Croix. The train was running approximately 20 minutes late due to the 500 having to be replaced with the 518 at Chicago Union Station. They would end up losing another 45 minutes at Hoffman waiting for CPKC 243 to double up and depart.
These old windmills have sadly been replaced with more reliable but rather less obvious electric pumps
The Collegiate Church of Our Lady is a 13th-century Gothic cathedral in Dinant, a city in Waloon Belgium, on the banks of the River Meuse. The collegiate church replaced a 10th-century Romanesque church which collapsed in 1228, leaving only the North door. Its most iconic part is the separate 16th century pear-shaped bell tower.
“The tourist seeks out Culture because – in our world – culture has disappeared into the maw of the Spectacle.
Culture has been torn down and replaced with a Mall or a talkshow- because our education is nothing but a preparation for a lifetime of work and consumption-because we ourselves have ceased to create".

well there's been a few shots of the sunrise in Auckland already on Flickr today, here's my contribution - was a beaut morning, the ship was a very slow beast so managed to take out the tiny bit of blur from the exposure.
There was even a seal bobbing around, never seen one in the gulf before and bit to far out for my 10-22mm but so good to watch this seen unfold in total peace with this chap.
(not HDR), colours were quite strong this morning
FG @ 1.6sces f8, sky 1/10 @ f8, DRI,-currently replacing my crap filters even though I did use my 3stop GND on this (not quite enough though)!
This was basically a house money shot. I had already accomplished the scenic "wow" shots of this train, as it trundled back to Trona I debated not even taking this picture. Nothing special... but the light was great so why not. Well, good thing I ignored the impulse to be a moron, because this exact shot is no longer possible. TRC 2007 and 2009 have been cut up this past week and will never again ply the desert. Acquired in 2002, Trona would end up with 3 former UP SD40-2's. The deck was stacked against them from the beginning. To start, they were already ratty looking and were replacing some gorgeous looking SD45-2's, painted in a resplendent red and silver scheme. Then of course, they weren't as neat as the former SP units on property still sporting their scarlett and grey. Third, a more common locomotive there was not. Union Pacific rostered 1,079 SD40-2's at one time, part of the staggering 4,029 produced by EMD between 1972 and 1989. At some point though, they transcended being mundane and entered the realm of cool again. In the age of GE dominance and Tier 4 nonsense, Trona's 7 EMD's became the rock against which progress gnashed its teeth. Watching these ugly beasts climb the grade, roaring through a hellish landscape on only two steel rails as they climb nearly vertical out of the basin.... I guess they aren't so mundane after all.
The great hall replaced an earlier sequence of great halls on the same site, and was strongly influenced by Edward III's design at Windsor Castle. The hall consists of a "ceremonial sequence of rooms", approached by a particularly grand staircase, now lost. From the great hall, visitors could look out through huge windows to admire the Great Mere or the inner court. The undercroft to the hall, used by the service staff, was lit with slits, similar to design at the contemporary Wingfield Manor. The roof was built in 1376 by William Wintringham, producing the widest hall, unsupported by pillars, existing in England at the time. There is some debate amongst historians as to whether this roof was a hammer beam design, a collar and truss-brace design, or a combination of the two.

"The design of the present church is based on the Pantheon in Rome, has the THIRD-largest unsupported dome in the world, and is Malta's largest and most famous church. The church narrowly avoided destruction during World War II when on 9 April 1942 a German aerial bomb pierced the dome and fell into the church during Mass, but failed to explode. This event was interpreted by the Maltese as a miracle." © Wikipedia
