A very pleasant wander over a chilly Ingleborough. One of those occasions where I smugly trot down the iced up paths in my microspikes. I'm definitely going to fall on my face next time aren't I?
Whenever we go grocery shopping, I find that I look at the packaging our food comes in as a possible photographic subject. One afternoon my husband came home with a large bag of tangerines. I enjoy that fruit, yet the bag holding the orange orbs made me especially happy.
What do you do with an old copper bowl that has a hole in it? Some people might fix the hole.
Or, you can make the hole bigger and turn it into a small sink.

My wonderful SIL created gift bags this year and mailed them early with requests to “open” them!! They are sewn from quilt squares and the back side is red felt— isn’t she clever? The next picture in the photostream shows some of the things that were in the bag!

I decided to reuse the water and oil from yesterday but it appears cloudy. My state is in an extreme drought right now so no need to waste water. Every day with this project is a learning curve.
Built in 1900 by the Chicago & Alton Railroad, the Jacksonville Station was near the midway point on the C&A's Chicago to Kansas City Route. A sign still hanging over the former station gives the distance to Chicago as being 216 miles, and to Kansas City as 273 miles.
Renovated in 1987, the structure is now an Italian restaurant.
Fort Point has been called "the pride of the Pacific," "the Gibraltar of the West Coast," and "one of the most perfect models of masonry in America." When construction began during the height of the California Gold Rush 1853, Fort Point was planned as the most formidable deterrence America could offer to a naval attack on California. Although its guns never fired a shot in anger, the "Fort at Fort Point" as it was originally named has witnessed Civil War, obsolescence, earthquake, bridge construction, reuse for World War II, and preservation as a National Historic Site.

Thank you for your comments and favourites.
Good news, my flare-up of severe Long Covid symptoms appears to have ended as suddenly as it started. Yesterday I actually felt 'normal' for the first time in just over two weeks. Just as the previous two occasions this has happened, the duration and severity of symptoms and the sudden onset and end are nearly identical. So bizarre. Hopefully it will be a few months before it happens again, like last time, though obviously I would prefer that it never happens at all.
Of course, the symptoms remain, but the difference in severity is enormous. I have to remember that while I 'feel' like I am back to normal, my normal now is not what it used to be and I have to be careful not to overdo it. I still have to micromanage my rest and recovery for everything that I do.
It's blissful not to feel and hear your own heart thumping irregularly and at just 30 beats per minute over and over again, non-stop, day after day. There must be a trigger to this repeating pattern of symptoms though. I just don't know what it is yet.
Take care everyone.
A fence I used once before. I use it again to christen a new lens, and because the fence pickings ain't so good in our neighborhood. Is anyone running fence tours?
HFF to all: Looking forward to seeing everyone's handiwork.

This is for the for now the last one of the Tweebosbuurt mini-series. It shows that modern demolition nowadays can be relatively resource-friendly. When possible metal is salvaged from the rubble. And bricks too. After removal of the cement traces, they’re reusable for renovation and new constructions – they’re often used for their rustic appearance.

US National Landmark
The Arcade in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, is a Victorian-era structure of two nine-story buildings, joined by a five-story arcade with a glass skylight spanning over 300 feet (91 m), along the four balconies. Erected in 1890, at a cost of $867,000, the Arcade opened on Memorial Day (May 31, 1890), and is identified as the first indoor shopping mall in the United States. The Arcade was modified in 1939, remodeling the Euclid Avenue entrance and adding some structural support.
just because it isn't 'new' doesn't mean it hasn't got some use-- right??

Everyday I remove the card from my camera and dump the photos on my computer, then put the card back into the camera for next day. So far just once did I pull out the camera to get the red flash of no card. The reusable card is also on my faux Autumn leaf that gets used each year for accent on mantel.

As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.

My DD was painting outside and used a plastic mini quiches container as a mixing pallet. It was left outside and various bugs wandered in and got stuck. The orange paint pot was the most popular…..
Anyhow I used my cloning skills in the app Retouch and made it prettier!! Will put the buggy original in the first comment box in a bit

Seen here in remarkable isolation on the remote Dengie Peninsula on the Essex coast, St Peter-on-the-Wall is widely regarded as one of the oldest surviving churches in England and one of the most important surviving buildings connected with the earliest spread of Christianity in Anglo-Saxon Britain. The chapel was founded around AD 654 by Saint Cedd, a monk from the monastery of Lindisfarne in Northumbria, who had been sent south to convert the pagan East Saxons to Christianity under the patronage of King Sigeberht of Essex.
The location chosen for this early Christian mission was deeply symbolic. The chapel was constructed directly within the remains of Othona, a substantial Roman coastal fort built during the late 3rd century AD, probably around AD 280–300, as part of the Roman Empire’s defensive network known as the Saxon Shore forts. These forts were established to defend the vulnerable eastern and southern coastline of Roman Britain against increasing raids by Germanic seabororne invaders, particularly Saxons and Franks crossing the North Sea. The fort at Othona guarded the approaches to the estuaries of the Blackwater and Colne rivers and would once have housed a Roman garrison protecting this strategically important stretch of coastline.
When Saint Cedd arrived some 350 years later, Roman authority had long since vanished but the surviving stone walls of the abandoned fort provided an ideal place to establish one of the earliest Christian communities in southern England. Builders reused Roman bricks, tiles and stone from the ruined fort itself, creating the chapel’s strikingly simple appearance and giving rise to its modern name: St Peter-on-the-Wall. It stands as a fascinating physical link between the final years of Roman Britain and the emergence of Christian Anglo-Saxon England.
After serving as a place of worship for centuries, the building gradually lost its ecclesiastical role. By the 17th century, during a period when many older religious buildings fell into disuse, the chapel had been converted into an agricultural barn. Large doorways were cut through its ancient walls to allow the storage of farm equipment and crops, fundamentally altering the original structure. Fortunately, its immense historical importance was recognised in the early 20th century and in 1920 the building underwent careful restoration before being reconsecrated for religious use once again.
Visible near the coastline is the Othona Community, founded in 1946 by Anglican minister Norman Motley. Established in the aftermath of the Second World War, the community was created as a centre for Christian retreat, reconciliation, hospitality and reflection, welcoming people of all faiths and backgrounds. The community remains active today and helps maintain the chapel as a place of worship, pilgrimage and quiet contemplation.
The surrounding landscape is equally significant. The Dengie Peninsula is a low-lying and geologically young coastal landscape formed largely from marine clay, estuarine silts and alluvial deposits laid down over thousands of years by tidal action in the North Sea. The extensive surrounding salt marshes, mudflats and reclaimed grazing marshes are internationally important habitats supporting migratory birds and specialised salt-tolerant plant communities. This exposed coastline, shaped continuously by erosion, tides and storm surges, would have looked broadly familiar both to Roman soldiers stationed at Othona nearly 1,700 years ago and to Saint Cedd when Christianity first arrived here almost 1,400 years ago.
Few places in England capture such an extraordinary continuity of history in one small landscape — from Roman military occupation, through the Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England, centuries of agricultural use, and into the modern era where this isolated chapel still stands as a living monument to nearly two millennia of human history on the Essex coast.

It takes nearly one hour of walking to reach this wreckage of a DC-3 at the black beach of Sólheimasandur. However, for a special wedding photo, this effort seems to be acceptable.

This one was ordered by me from Amazon in search of a smiley chair and photographed in a vintage retro building. The chair has since been reused as a pool tube smiling and sits happily while floating about when its summer.
I am constantly amazed by the clever ways creators can take odd bits & pieces and create a wonderful new piece of art!
