MYANMAR, Burma - Mandalay-Amarapura auf, unter und neben der U-Bein-Brücke.
Die U-Bein-Brücke ist ein Fußgängerübergang, der den Taungthaman-See in der Nähe von Amarapura in Myanmar quert. Die 1,2 Kilometer lange Brücke wurde um 1850 erbaut und gilt als älteste und längste Teakholz-Brücke der Welt. Der Beginn des Baus fällt in die Zeit, als die Hauptstadt des Königreichs Ava nach Amarapura verlegt wurde.
Den Namen hat die Brücke von Bürgermeister U Bein, der ihren Bau in Auftrag gab.[ Die Brücke ist auch in der heutigen Zeit eine wichtige Verbindung für die lokale Bevölkerung. Da sie von vielen Touristen besucht wird, versuchen Souvenir-Verkäufer gerne auf und an der Brücke Geschäfte zu machen. Viel Andrang herrscht im Juli und August; dann steht der Seespiegel am höchsten.
Zum Bau der Brücke wurde Holz aus dem ehemaligen Königspalast in Inwa verwendet. Über 1.086 Pfähle wurden in den Seegrund gerammt; einige wurden inzwischen durch Betonpfeiler ersetzt.
The U Bein Bridge is a pedestrian crossing that crosses Taungthaman Lake near Amarapura in Myanmar. The 1.2 km long bridge was built around 1850 and is considered the oldest and longest teak bridge in the world. The beginning of the construction coincides with the transfer of the capital of the Kingdom of Ava to Amarapura.
The bridge was named after Mayor U Bein, who commissioned its construction. [ The bridge is still an important connection for the local population today. Since it is visited by many tourists, souvenir sellers like to try to do business on and around the bridge. There is a lot of rush in July and August; then the lake level is at its highest.
Wood from the former royal palace in Inwa was used to build the bridge. Over 1,086 piles were driven into the lake bed; some have since been replaced by concrete piers.
That's what I decided to do when I spotted these Sunflowers. I started with What if and finished with Why Not : )

The Sunflower:
Helianthus is a genus comprising about 70 species of annual and perennial flowering plants in the daisy family Asteraceae commonly known as Sunflowers. Except for three South American species, the species of Helianthus are native to North America and Central America.
The best-known species is the common sunflower (Helianthus annuus), whose round flower heads in combination with the ligules look like the Sun. This and other species, notably Jerusalem artichoke are cultivated in temperate regions and some tropical regions as food crops for humans, cattle, and poultry, and as ornamental plants.

There were 4 lighthouses built on Wicklow head. Three of them are still standing. The first two were built in 1781. In 1810 the roof blew off one of them and it was replaced 30 years later. It is now used as a holiday home and you can stay in your very own lighthouse. The second one was demolished and replaced with this one and the one further down the cliff { see photos 5th,7th and 8th photo back in my stream and album below } and which is still operational, were both built in 1866.
Its said that the first pair couldnt be seen in a fog as they were in the wrong position but it has more likely to do with the lights themselves which used tallow made from beef and mutton fat, and were not bright enough.
Here is a nice piece from the B.B.C. series "Coast" which gives some interesting info on the area and also Bray head with its unique walk and railway,

it is assumed that Gorinchem was founded circa 1000 CE by fishermen and farmers on the raised land near the mouth of the river Linge at the Merwede. (Home of Gorik) is first mentioned in a document from 1224 in which Floris IV granted people from Gorinchem exemption of toll payments throughout Holland.
Somewhere between 1247 and 1267, Gorinchem became property of the Lords of Arkel. At the end of the 13th century earthen mounts reinforced with palisades were built around the settlement to protect it from domination by the neighboring counties of Holland and Gelre. Half a century later real city walls were built complete with 7 gates and 23 watchtowers. Otto van Arkel granted it city rights on 11 November 1322.
Jan van Arkel had a dispute with Albert I, brother of Willem V of Holland, leading to war and subsequently to the annexation of Gorinchem to Holland in 1417. This resulted in increased trade and Gorinchem grew to be the eighth city of Holland.
On 9 July 1572, the Watergeuzen (Dutch rebels against Spanish rule) conquered the city and captured 19 Catholic priests and monks. Because they refused to renounce their faith, these priests and monks were brought to Brielle where they were hanged and were from then on known among Catholics as the Martyrs of Gorkum.
By the 16th century, the city walls were so deteriorated that they were replaced with new fortifications and eleven bastions that still are almost completely intact. The new walls were completed in 1609 and were located further from the town centre, making the city twice as large. In 1673, Gorinchem became part of the old Dutch Water Line.
The city walls had four city gates: the Arkel Gate in the north, the Dalem Gate in the east, the Water Gate in the south (where the ferry to Woudrichem was), and the Kansel Gate in the west. Of these four gates, only the Dalem Gate remains. The others were removed in the 19th century to make way for vehicular traffic. A portion of the Water Gate was preserved in the gardens of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Henkenshage Castle, locally known as Kasteel Henkenshage, lies in the village of Sint-Oedenrode, in the North Brabant province in the Netherlands.
Henkenshage may look like a medieval castle but it is not. Although it was built during the 14th century under the name Hanekenshage it was just a simple building. During the 15th century it was also known under the name Strijpe or Streepen.
In 1748 Henkenshage Castle was sold to Willem, Baron of Haren. In 1801 it was fitted as a convent for Augustinian nuns.
Around 1850 the castle was bought by Pieter J. de Girard de Mielet van Coehoorn. At that time the castle was still a simple manor with no stories. He had the castle rebuilt by the famous Dutch architect PJH. Cuypers, who also rebuilt De Haar Castle and built the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Cuypers built the two towers, added a story, replaced the main entrance to the house from the south to the north side and built the gate building.
In 1940 Henkenshage came into possession of the local government. During WWII it was used as a distribution office and during the liberation in 1944 it was the headquarters of the 101st Airborne Division.
At present the castle is used by a catering company and can not be visited. So, although Henkenshage Castle is not a real medieval castle, I think it has a lot of atmosphere.

Rock formations in northwestern part of Bulgaria, seen on an autumn afternoon, more to come from this place. My minor social media problems are being replaced by a psycho colleague at work (it's not a Harvey Weinstein/Kevin Spacey type of conflict in case anyone assumes that), which is much more serious, I'm sorry if my participation lessens in the coming days until i figure out a way to deal with that situation.
The Bridge....
Saturday Karen and I made our way to the south end of Heart Lake Conservation Area; The fall is a fickle time. some years the leaves changing colours are okay and others they don't change much at all. some years they last for a long time others a sudden storm and strong winds and its all over.
This is probably the last weekend for shooting fall colours in southern Ontario, the colour display is off the charts, so may varied shades of red, yellow and burnt orange.
this shot is of the bridge in the middle of the park, it is showing signs of its age and will probably be replaced with a much better newer one, but i do love the old worn out version.

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.
Built in 1640 it replaced the Medieval St Mary's of the Lowes

This is the lighthouse at Point Atkinson in Lighthouse Park, near Vancouver.
Point Atkinson Lighthouse was built in 1914 on granite boulders jutting out into Burrard Inlet in West Vancouver, Canada. The reinforced concrete structure replaces an earlier wood structure built in 1875. The concrete structure was considered at the time innovative in lighthouse design. It is now automated and still in use.
The rare breed ewes will be giving birth at St Fagans' museum farm during March. There are currently about 100 breeding ewes in the flock and they are hoping for over 150 lambs. There is a lovely Webcam throughout lambing.
Llwyn yr Eos farm is located at St Fagans National Museum of History, outside Cardiff, Wales. You're welcome to visit the lambing shed
The ewe had number 1 painted on her back so these were the first born. 90 lambs have been born so far.
They will be checked regularly so the lost coat will soon be replaced.
Despite the mixed bag of weather we've been getting lately - and a general feeling that the bird migration has been slowed by the cold nights and a couple of surprise snowfalls - there's no doubt that the spring resurgence of life on the northern prairie is underway. Therefore, over the next few days, we'll look at some signs of spring in and around Grasslands NP.
First up, this Black-tailed Prairie Dog with a mouthful of dried grass. The little rodents have been foraging now for several weeks, replacing fat reserves lost over the winter. I've watched them digging roots and clipping last year's grass, but recently they've been adding a little fresh salad to their diet.
Endless entertainment for a photographer visiting dogtown...

The monumental building dates from 1656 and was designed by Daniël Stalpaert as a warehouse for the Admiralty of Amsterdam. The warehouse housed cannons, sails, flags and naval equipment for the war fleet. About 40,000 liters of rainwater were collected in the barrel vaults under the courtyard for the drinking water supply for the ships. The Zeemagazijn was built on 2,300 piles, but nevertheless the building subsided. Buttresses and additional risalites were to prevent further subsidence or even collapse. In 1791 the building burned down, except for the stone walls. The blackened brick facades disappeared under a layer of plaster that was supposed to represent blocks of sandstone. In 1795, Napoleon Bonaparte invaded the country and the Batavian Republic was founded. The five Admiralties were disbanded and replaced by a national navy. The Zeemagazijn became a warehouse for the navy. This remained so until the early 1970s.

I (re)made this crystal bead necklace just the other day, and stupidly broke one of the beads while doing so (I used the wrong pliers, and instead of the wire, the first bead next to the clasp broke). You've seen a small part of this necklace before, for our first theme of 2024, "New" (please see the first comment).
Back in January, I had just newly stringed this lovely necklace, but with a pre-fab jewellery wire that had half of the clasp already mounted so it would be easier to do. It was, but other than I'd thought, the clasp's materials were neither stainless steel nor sterling silver, so the atomically thin silver layer came off quickly. Annoying. But, on the other hand, it allowed me to try again and get the mounting of the clasp properly done with crimp beads (and a proper silver clasp), something I've always struggled with (regarding the finishing part when it comes to mounting the connection ring and Cartier carabiner to the already beaded necklace). And I finally, finally got the knack of doing it the right way. I will remake this necklace again once I've found a bead to replace the broken one. I want to do it in Wabi-sabi style so I hope to find a bead of the correct shape and size but with a different colour. But for now, I'm wearing it as is, one bead shorter, because at the moment, it's my favourite necklace.
For this image, I put the smaller part of the broken bead (I've kept the pieces) on the connection ring of the clasp so the ring and the crimp beads are visible. This time, I thought a black backdrop looked nicer than the apricot-orange background I'd used for my previous photo of this necklace because it added more depth to this quite different presentation. The image is an in-camera focus stacking, and combining the 15 single RAW files in Helicon Focus provided a slightly better result than the automatically in-camera processed Jpg. I removed the inevitable dust but not the signs of usage on the crystal beads.
HMM, Everyone!

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.
My darling, only you can make my dreams come true
And every night I pray you'll never go away
I promise I will try until the day I die
To treat you like a king 'cause you are my everything
You take me away from the pain and you bring me paradise
And when on the cloudy days, you brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred to me, the first time I saw your face
I would fall so deep in love that your love can't be replaced
You are my everything ♥♥♥
Il terzo giorno a Bridgetown, di primo mattino, arriva un taxi dell'agenzia d'appoggio alla nave e mi conduce al porto. zona banchine per navi da crociera. La vedo ed è amore a prima vista, gran voglia di scattarle subito una foto, ma sarebbe indelicato, così salgo a bordo, mi presento al Primo Ufficiale che dovrò sostituire e disbrigo tutte le pratiche, prendendo anche conoscenza della nave che non conoscevo (mia prima volta a bordo di un veliero) Solo verso il tramonto mi prendo 5 minuti per scendere a terra e immortalarla. I velieri sono più belli in mare aperto, con le vele spiegate e gonfie di vento. Ormeggiate in banchina, come anche ancorate in rada, le vele sono raccolte e quasi invisibili. Ma io la guardo e il cuore mi batte più forte
On the third day in Bridgetown, early in the morning, a person from the ship's support agency arrives and takes me to the port. dock area for cruise ships. As I see her it's love at first sight, I really want to take a photo right away, but it would be indelicate, so I get on board, introduce myself to the Chief Officer who I will have to replace and take care of all the paperwork, also getting to know the ship that I didn't know (my first time on board a sailing ship) Only towards sunset I can take 5 minutes to go ashore and immortalise her. Sailing ships are more beautiful in the open sea, with their sails unfurled and billowing in the wind. Moored at the quay, as well as anchored in the harbor, the sails are gathered up and almost invisible. But I look at her and my heart beats faster

Piazza San Marco is in the heart of Venice. It is 590 ft (180 m) long and 230 ft (70 m) wide, and is the only “piazza” in Venice, since the rest of the squares are called “piazzales” or “campos”.
It was established during the ninth century, but adopted its current size and form in 1177, and was paved one hundred years later.
The Piazza San Marco is one of the most beautiful in the world. Napoleon called it “the world’s most beautiful drawing room”.
It is the lowest point in Venice; therefore, when there is Acqua Alta, it is the first place to be flooded. When this happens, the authorities place wooden footbridges for the locals and tourists. Several times a year, the square is completely flooded, so depending on whether you want to experience the Acqua Alta, you might be lucky or not, depending on when you visit the city.
The most famous buildings in the piazza are: St Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the Museo Correr and the Campanile (the Basilica’s bell tower) and the Torre dell’ Orologio.
Actually the first Burr Truss covered bridge in Lehigh Valley that my sweet west coast damsel and I ventured to that October day last fall, ironic that it’s image would be the last of the three Burr Truss covered bridges that I post, located in Northampton Pennsylvania is the Kreidersville Covered Bridge, built back in 1839 over the Hokendauqua Creek. In 1959 a grass roots movements by the local citizens recognizing the historical significance of the vanishing covered bridges when the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation State Highway Department wanted to knock down the bridge replace it with a concrete bridge, banded together to save the 116 foot long Hummel's - Koch's - Solt's Bridge as it was then known, named after the families that resided near the bridge and organized & formed the ‘The Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society of Pennsylvania’ named after the gentlemen whose patented truss design was used in the construction of this bridge and actually the other two which my west coast damsel and I visited on that day. The state has 250 of the remaining 1500 covered bridges left in the United States.

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.

Chittenden Memorial Bridge is in Yellowstone National Park. It crosses the Yellowstone River just above the Upper Yellowstone Falls. It was built in 1963 replacing the old one built in the early 1900's. Shown here is the view from Uncle Tom's Trail and the Upper Falls View. It's easily accessible from South Rim Drive. #NPS #YellowstoneNationalPark #Wyoming #ChittendenMemorialBridge #bridge #YellowstoneRiver
