Atlantic seaside resort town in Southern Maine. The town is home of Palace Playland, an amusement park that dates back to 1902 and occupies four acres of beachfront.
Attractions included "The Carousel," with hand-carved wooden horses from Germany, beautifully painted and gold-leaf accented. "The Jack and Jill“ consisted of a large bucket that hoisted two people to the top of a 50 foot slide and dumped them out. Dominating the park was “Noah’s Ark,” a huge ark-shaped funhouse that rocked back and forth while parents hung onto their little ones straining to run through the below-deck passages.
A fire in 1969, reportedly started by a penny that replaced a fuse, consumed the park.
I couldn't bring myself photograph the cookie-cutter attractions that now make up Palace Playland. Those childhood pictures of unique charm and character exist only in my mind.

В то утро мы специально встали пораньше, чтобы успеть добраться до мыса и встретить рассвет. Никто не знал как близко мы сможем подъехать на машине и сколько нам останется идти пешком. В это время года все дороги заносит приличным слоем снега, и они становятся непроходимыми для автомобилей. Согревшись в машине, я погрузился в дрему. Ямы и прочие дорожные неровности были, вероятно, слишком ничтожными, чтобы стряхнуть ее полностью. Звук закрывшейся двери разбудил меня, и выйдя из машины я оказался на морозе в дубовом лесу по колено в снегу. В свете фар было видно, что машинам было непросто сюда заехать, а также, что впереди нас ждало такое же непростое восхождение пешком. Мы поднимались в гору сквозь дубовый лес. Звук хрустящего снега сменялся звуками шелеста прошлогодних листьев, но неизменными были звуки нашего сопения и кряхтения. Когда перед нами открылся вид на мыс, ощущение реальности куда-то делось. Мне совсем не верилось, что я здесь — стою на краю мира и смотрю на бескрайнее Японское море, где с шумом и рокотом разбиваются в пену волны-громадины. В какой-то момент просто начинает кружиться голова. Творческие души путешественников не выдержали. Все побросали рюкзаки, расставили штативы и точно стайка сурикатов выстроились в одном направлении в попытках поймать идеальный кадр. Я не спешил, наслаждаясь видом и попивая горячий чай с печеньками. Нужно было решить важный вопрос: остаться здесь наверху или спуститься на берег, усеянный пятнистыми и полосатыми камнями, под стать местным представителя фауны. Но внезапно порозовевший горизонт сделал выбор за меня. Начинался рассвет и во мне пробуждалась творческая душа…
That morning we got up early on purpose to get to the cape in time to watch the sunrise. No one knew how close we could get by car and how long we would have to walk. At this time of year, all roads are covered with a decent layer of snow, and they become impassable for cars. Having warmed up in the car, I fell asleep. The potholes and other road imperfections were probably too minor to shake my slumber off completely. The sound of the door closing woke me up, and when I got out of the car I found myself in the cold, in an oak forest, knee-deep in snow. In the light of the headlights it was clear that it was not easy for cars to get here, and also that an equally difficult ascent on foot lay ahead of us. We climbed up the mountain through an oak forest. The sound of crunching snow was replaced by the sounds of rustling last year's leaves, but the sounds of our sniffing and grunting remained unchanged. When the view of the cape opened before us, the sense of reality disappeared somewhere. I couldn’t believe at all that I was here - standing on the edge of the world and looking at the endless Sea of Japan, where huge waves crashed into foam with noise and roar. At some point you just start to feel dizzy. The creative souls of the travelers could not stand it. Everyone dropped their backpacks, set up their tripods and, like a flock of meerkats, lined up in one direction, trying to catch the perfect shot. I took my time, enjoying the view and drinking hot tea with cookies. An important question had to be resolved: to stay up here or go down to the shore, strewn with spotted and striped stones, matching the local fauna. But the suddenly pink horizon made the choice for me. The dawn was beginning and the creative soul was awakening in me...
Why bother replacing a fence if you can just add a few new posts? This photo was taken last November before the first snowstorm. HFF

Alone on an island off the town of Lockeport, Nova Scotia stands the Carter Island Lighthouse which was first established here in 1872. In 1930, the lighthouse was replaced and in 1989 the light was changed to a fiberglass lantern.
The circular tower of the lighthouse reaches 30 feet high with a building beside it which was once the residence of the lightkeeper. The weather on Carter Island can be extremely cold and windy during storms and throughout the winter months.
Location:South end of island, inner entrance to Lockeport
Standing:This light is no longer standing.
Operating:This light is no longer operating.
Date Automated:Automated by 1993
Began:1989
Year Lit:1989
Structure Type:Fiberglass, no lantern
Nylon strings are traditionally tied behind the bridge, but I've found that after years of use strings begin to saw through the wood where they are tied. I've found that using tiny blocks of wood to secure the wood avoids the issue.

Die katholische Kirche St. Katharina ersetzt eine im Hundertjährigen Krieg zerstörte Steinkirche. Es ist die größte Kirche Frankreichs, die von Schiffstischlern aus Holz gebaut wurde.
The Catholic Church of St. Catherine replaces a stone church destroyed during the Hundred Years' War. It is the largest church in France built from wood by ship's carpenters.
We had a nice walk there today in the romantic part of the garden...
Wikipedia:
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.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES

Rijeka, de derde grootste stad van Kroatië, is een stad die haar wisselende geschiedenis duidelijk toont. Ooit deel van het Oostenrijks-Hongaarse keizerrijk, is Rijeka een strategisch haven- en industriecentrum geweest. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd de stad zwaar getroffen, wat leidde tot verarming en vernieling. In de jaren daarna was er sprake van een plan om het historische centrum te vervangen door moderne wolkenkrabbers. Dankzij het werk van architect Igor Emili, die voorstelde om het historische centrum te behouden en te herbeleven, is het beeld van Rijeka vandaag de dag een mix van oude gevels en nieuw leven. In 2020 was Rijeka zelfs nog de culturele hoofdstad van Europa
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rijeka, Croatia's third-largest city, clearly reflects its varied history. Once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Rijeka served as a strategic port and industrial center. During World War II, the city was severely damaged, leading to impoverishment and destruction. In the years that followed, there was talk of replacing the historic center with modern skyscrapers. Thanks to the work of architect Igor Emili, who proposed preserving and revitalizing the historic center, Rijeka today is a blend of old facades and new life. In 2020, Rijeka was even named the European Capital of Culture.
Frisco's westbound "QSF" approaches the Santa Fe overpass behind a gaggle of cab units (except for the one Geep that's spoiling the party) and including an Alco B-unit that is most likely re-engined by EMD (31-546-139-199-21.) The train just left the Frisco's East Yard and will soon roll past Union Station on its way to the Texas panhandle town of Floydada to be interchanged with Santa Fe and then forwarded to California's Bay Area. This train was usually preceded by another hot westbound called "QLA", which went to Los Angeles. The "Q" in the designations, which were in both cases carried in Frisco's employee timetable of 2/69 as westbound First Class trains, referred to Quanah, Texas, where Frisco interchanged these high priority trains to their subsidiary Quanah, Acme & Pacific. The interchange with Santa Fe at Floydada made it necessary to negotiate some less-than-mainline parts of that railroad before they reached the high speed CTC stretches more associated with Chico's turf. This whole bizarre routing was replaced in '72 or '73 with the rebuilding of the Frisco's secondary route from Tulsa through Enid to Avard, Oklahoma, where the trains reached Santa Fe's California mainline. Now the Avard gateway, a lonely junction out on the Oklahoma plains, hosts a LOT more trains that travel between California, the Southwest, and the Southeast.

According to Wikipedia, Grapsus grapsus is one of the most common crabs along the western coast of the Americas. It is known variously as, "red rock crab", "abuete negro", and along with crabs such as Percnon gibbesi as, "Sally Lightfoot". The crab is about eight inches in size.
Grapsus grapsus is found along the Pacific coast of Mexico, Central America, South America (as far south as northern Peru), and on nearby islands, including the Galápagos Islands. It is also found along the Atlantic coast of South America, but is replaced in the eastern Atlantic Ocean (Ascension Island and West Africa) by its congener Grapsus adscensionis.
This crab lives among the rocks at the often turbulent, windy shore, just above the limit of the sea spray. It feeds on algae primarily, sometimes sampling other plant matter and dead animals. It is a quick-moving and agile crab, and hard to catch. Not considered very edible by humans, it is used as bait by fishermen.
G. grapsus has been observed in an apparent cleaning symbiosis taking ticks from marine iguanas on the Galápagos Islands.
Grapsus grapsus was collected by Charles Darwin during his voyages on HMS Beagle.
Another angle on this beautiful viaduct in south-east Cornwall, but this time with a 125 crossing it on its way to London's Paddington Station.
The south-east of Cornwall has several rivers and creeks leading into the Tamar estuary, including the River Tiddy. When Brunel built the Great Western Railway in the second half of the 19th century all these rivers had to be crossed by viaducts in order that the line could connect Cornwall with Plymouth. The original viaducts had stone piers with wooden superstructure at the top. These were gradually replaced with all-stone viaducts and quite often the original piers can be seen standing alongside them. The viaduct at St Germans dates from 1908 and replaced an earlier one built in 1855.
A little walk through one of Springfield's older parks brought this scene to light. Here is some information...
"Fassnight Park is located at Meadowmere Street between Campbell and Grant Avenues. It contains 28 acres of land with trees and a stream. The Springfield Park Board purchased the land in 1924 from Conrad and Emma Fassnight, who had traveled to Springfield with their parents from Michigan in 1886. The foreman of the Fassnight Park project was Godfrey Messerli. He was greatly skilled as a stonemason and created bridges, the bathhouse, the swimming pool and other structures using the fieldstone and Carthage stone found in the area. The labor was done by the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.).
In 1977 the entire park, including the swimming pool, had deteriorated because of erosion and the fact that the intricate stonemason's work was prohibitively expensive to repair. The pool was closed and the city considering demolishing the swimming pool and bathhouse and replacing them with new state-of-the-art facilities. In the end the city decided to renovate the pool and bathhouse and preserve their unique architecture. This may have been when the waterfall in the pool was removed.
In 1995 a $60,000 water slide was added to Fassnight Pool. It was intended to be a moneymaking venture, with its $3 (later $5) fee helping to fund the swimming pool. An extended pool deck including playground equipment inside the pool area was added later. In 1996 a hard-rubber water serpent was added to the pool. It was tethered to the floor of the shallow end.
Fassnight Park has one of Springfield's most popular pools. The Springfield-Greene County Park Board renovated Fassnight Pool in 2009, and it remains the largest pool in the parks system today."

This bridge was built in 1999, replacing the older bridge built in 1881 which was destroyed by arson.
The new bridge goes by the names Orne or Irasburg. The old bridge was also known by the names, Coventry, Black River and Lower covered bridge
While it was built to withstand the weight of box trucks, you can see they still can do some damage.

Madonna was one of a number of eye-catching paste-ups by Fiigueers that I saw during my visit to Valencia last September. The connecting thread was that all are queer icons.
I spent a very enjoyable afternoon getting completely lost in the El Carmen district of Valencia. If I had a bit longer in Valencia I would've spent a bit more time exploring this area, and of course if / when I do go back all the street art will have changed. For that reason I guess the British equivalent is the Brick Lane area of London.
Click here to see more photos from my trip to Valencia : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/albums/72177720331217491
From theculturetrip.com, "While graffiti is not officially permitted in Valencia, you can still come across street artists working in broad daylight. For the most part, locals feel that the murals contribute positively to the area, inviting people to engage with their surroundings. Because of the street art's high public approval rating, the authorities mostly turn a blind eye. Some of the wall murals are so big, it's a wonder the artists were able to complete them without any interference.
The ephemeral nature of urban art means that these artworks often vanish or are replaced overnight. A street in El Carmen can look completely different from one day to the next when large, popular murals are transformed. Though it's sad to walk down a familiar street one day to find your favourite artwork is gone, the constant change means the mural's messages stay current, whether they're comments on society, politics or local culture."

Pair of Barn Owls from a site in Durham. Photo taken at 6.00am returned 2 hours later Owls gone to be replaced by 12+ Jackdaws. Seen this happen at other Barn Owl and Little Owl sites. Then Owls sometimes return later in day when Jackdaws have left.
I walk on my own to think it over
I can't believe this is real
It all seems so clear
All seems so right
I can't put on words how I feel
In time you'll see
What you mean to me
Everyday I think of you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
There's nothing here in the world
I can face without you, no
I'm lost in your eyes
You dream me away from here
Far away, where I can feel no pain
With you i feel safe
I know you keep me out of harms way
In time you'll see
What you mean to me
Everyday I think of you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
There's nothing here in the world
I can face without you
Anytime you doubt with us
Makes you wanna run away
You think of what we have
If it feels like everything goes there away
I'll be standing here
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
there's nothing here in the world
I can face without you
Nothing in this world can replace you
There is nothing
There is nothing
There is nothing

At the Beach:
Standing in the same spot, I select shutter priority at 1/2500 of a second, then using the high speed shutter, shoot multiple images of the waves as they crash around the rocks.
In My Studio:
For this art photo project, I used four separate photos, processed in Photomatix using the same settings for each one, then combined them in Photoshop not with standard compositing, but with layering and using the erase tool to make it appear as if all the wave action spread across four photos is happening in the same photo at the same time.
I also replaced the sky with another of mine taken at another time and place.

A concrete abstract? Belatedly replaced the original title “Rock Group”. Would have done it earlier, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it with the phone app.
In 1975, C&NW was replacing its fleet of FM H16-66s on iron ore trains in upper Michigan with ex-N&W C-628s. On May 24, 1975, C&NW 6710 (ex-N&W 1109) stands beside F-Ms 1594 and 1693.
BR blue 85026 calls at Birmingham International in May 1989 with a Wolverhampton - London Euston service. The 85s were replaced by new class 90s between 1989 and 1991 and the Eustons went over to Driving Van Trailers on the London end during this period.
From what I can tell this is called the Claypool Tunnel. It was abandoned in 1952 when a new larger tunnel was built near Superior, Arizona. Its a short quarter mile hike from the currently used tunnel to this old road. Last time I was here it was blocked off with security fencing. That has all been removed and you can move freely throught the tunnel. This is on the Legends of Superior Trail.
The "Queen Creek Tunnel" replaced this old one.
When I go to White Slough three miles from where I live, I never know what to expect...a given are Gulls and Mallards. Three weeks ago there were American Avocets in breeding plumage...this day the Avocets had been 'replaced' with hundreds of Western Sandpipers in their breeding plumage...once again, my favorite soft rock and very enjoyable shooting!
Sitting on the hillside at Kessler, WV on May 5, 2002 was an eye opener for me. When I first started going to the Magnolia Cut Off in 1973, B&O was replacing the decks on the bridge across the Potomac River. Now 29 years later, they were doing it again. I had seen them replaced twice. No two ways about it, I was getting "old." Here we see westbound empty unit coal train E101, led by CW44AH No. 517, passing the equipment used by the bridge gang.
The Parish Church of Saint Peter
The small church of St Peter sits close to Gunby Hall at the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds in the district of East Lindsey.
The church was built in the Early English style by James Fowler in 1870 and replaced a Georgian church of 1788
Yesterday morning I was up early getting ready to go pick up Ashley for a day out of shooting. When I started driving I noticed the clouds were so low in the sky. It felt like driving down a corridor where clouds replaced the ceiling. As I approached the canyon that I had to drive through to get to her, the fog became so thick I could barely see the car in front of me. I pulled off the road at the first chance I got, threw on my dress, set up my tripod and camera, and did what I felt in my heart was right to do. I didn't have an idea planned, but instantly I knew what would make me feel most fulfilled.
Shooting lasted 5 minutes and by the time I was finished I was soaked in mud - the bottom of the dress, my sneakers, the jumper I wore underneath. I felt bad because she was going to use that dress later in the day. When I arrived to pick her up I was warmly greeted with new shoes and a dryer to put the dress in, and all was well...or...all was *right*. Everything was in it's right place.

About the photograph.
Am y llum
The photograph was taken from the footpath between the Amis Reunis boat and the Observatory Tower on the southern part of the village, right next to the River Dwyryd, and looking toward north.
In the photograph, the tall building is known as the Bell Tower, and parts of the buildings to the right of the photo is known as The Watch House. In the background, you could see The Dome.
About Portmeirion.
Portmeirion is a tourist and historical coastal village located on the estuary of the River Dwyryd, about 2 miles south east of Porthmadog, in North Wales, and owned by a charitable trust.
Some of the buildings already existed around the middle of the 1800s, such as the hotel, along with Castell Deudraeth.
Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, the chief architect bought most of the buildings. Between 1925 and 1975, he designed, built, and improved the area into an exquisite village, in the style of a Mediterranean feel.
It had since become a most popular tourist location, and often used as on-location filming site for various television shows.
Nowadays, most of the buildings are used as hotels or self-catering cottages, while tourists have a day-out looking around.
About the television show called The Prisoner.
Ynglŷn â'r sioe deledu o'r enw The Prisoner.
The Prisoner is a 1967 British television series about an unnamed British agent who chose to resign from Intelligence services.
In the series, he was imprisoned in a mysterious retirement village at a secret location. Although the village was used for retired secret agents, he was placed there because his superiors and bosses wanted to know why he chose to resign.
In the show, his name was never used, and he was referred to as ”Number Six, as everyone else were given numerical codenames. The mysterious village was overseen by an administrator whom was often referred as Number Two.
Number Six was played by the actor Patrick McGoohan, whom also created the show, as well as writing and directing some of the episodes. He played the main character in 16 out of the 17 episodes. Only played his character in a minor role in one episode, because at that time, he took time off from The Prisoner, to attend a filming of a movie.
In each episodes, different actors played Number Two, and each tried their own attempts to get Number Six to reveal his reasons for resigning. This was often done by means of tricks, drugging, brainwashing, identity theft, and so on.
The usual plot of each episode would have Number Two attempting to use their own means, bring Number Six close to the breaking point, where Six could finally reveal his reasons, but often in the end, Number Six often saw through the attempts, and rebuffed the attempts.
Portmeirion was used as a stand-in filming location for the mysterious village due to its unique style.

Several of the Western meanings of the origin of the Anemone pertain to the Greek Mythology, featuring Adonis and Aphrodite.
The goddess Aphrodite kept the mortal man Adonis as a lover; when Adonis was gored by a wild boar, Aphrodite's tears at his death mixed with his blood and gave rise to the Anemone flower.
The beautiful Anemone flower symbolises:
Protection against evil and ill wishes.
The approach of a rain storm when the petals close up.
Forsaken or forgotten love and affection.
Anemones are a great cut flower and will give you around nine days of vase life.
Red pigment made from ochre was one of the first colours used in prehistoric art.
The Ancient Egyptians and Mayans coloured their faces red in ceremonies; Roman generals had their bodies coloured red to celebrate victories.
It was also an important colour in China, where it was used to colour early pottery and later the gates and walls of palaces.
In the Renaissance, the brilliant red costumes for the nobility and wealthy were dyed with kermes and cochineal.
The 19th century brought the introduction of the first synthetic red dyes, which quickly replaced the traditional dyes.
