I like to watch Chinese drama series when eating Lunch... atm i'm enjoying Ashes of Love, so i wanted to do THIS *nods*
Textile factory N. J. Menko cotton warehouse (Design (1923): A.G. Beltman) survived the May 13 2000 fireworks disaster.
In 2008 it was restored ( Erik Knippers, Architectenforum Amsterdam) and converted into apartments, shops and a school.
Yeats made a prophecy in this poem over 100 years ago after World War I
....sadly our world is headed in this direction.
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"
WB Yeats
America - „A horse with no name“
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSZXWdKSQNM
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot, and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I′ve been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain′t no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain′t no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
After nine days, I let the horse run free
′Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I′ve been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain′t no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Second Beach in Olympic National Park. I used a Lee Big Stopper ND filter to capture a 2 minute exposure, producing this effect.
Photo taken near La Push, WA (USA).

So, you might ask, as I asked myself, what is this picture about? Am I supposed to look at the graceful lines of the stem and leaves that occupy about half of the frame, or the crunchy details of the blossom? My answer is both; what's yours?
The result of a multi-image focus stack, this image should reward relatively close examination. It was taken on the top of my dining room table.

Piersing from Lelutka
After owning this camera for over a year, I finally began to figure out how to use the feature I bought it for, what Nikon calls focus shift shooting. (It enables the camera to automatically take a number of images, each focused slightly further from the camera, so they can be stacked - here in HeliconFocus software - with the result showing everything in focus.)
This image is the product of twenty images, and it will reward very close examination. I hope you enjoy this first of my focus stacking images half as much as I do, as I find it very exciting to begin to master an important new skill.
Looking for Short Eared Owls?
This beautiful Hen Harrier does a fantastic impression of one
Employing the same hunting techniques from a distance you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference
That is until it applies the 'after-burners' for a quick fly around
Second prize?
No... 'grade A' first prize in my eyes
My wife has been wanting to come out with me to see some Owls. Our days off coincided today and we ventured out. At first we had no luck but a second try at one venue paid off and I spotted this Short-eared Owl on a post. I was just about to press the shutter when two motorbikes screamed past and spooked it but we sat for a while, hoping and it gave us a second chance!
This flower was actually taken in SL awhile ago...it was taken at one of Cica Ghost's sims...this exhibition is gone now as she has opened a new one (maybe even two) since. But her genius and incredible imagination are alway so extraordinary. I do try to get over there when I can get in world....
This was taken of a single flower there....and as per always "this is what my mind saw!!!" 😊
