Seemingly oblivious to the noisy construction around them, the shuffle peacefully past the Vets Building, arm in arm. I always admire elderly couple who still hold hands. Of course, perhaps it is for purely practical purposes (holding each other up) but I prefer to see the romance in a lifetime love.
I debated making this black and white to lend more history and importance to it, but I couldn't resist the neon spray paint from construction.
It is seemingly impossible to find a view in Dartmouth that is not picturesque, even in indifferent weather and light. Warfleet Creek is no exception and certainly caught my eye on a river cruise in the second week of August in 2014. When we came ashore, a herring gull had the audacity to steal a cheese sandwich out of my left hand. The previous time I was in Dartmouth was in the summer of 1981 and the port and the Dart estuary are every bit as stunning as I remembered.
Seemingly endless planning wrangles with no end in sight as the latest planning permission which was granted a year earlier goes on hold while the Court of Appeal order a judicial review, have stalled development at Carlisle Airport. At the end of 2009 the airport terminal looks much as it did forty years earlier, operating from a charming blend of World War 2 infrastructure and post war portakabins. The catering facility, in the old RAF Officers' Mess on the ground floor of the control tower has recently been re-branded as Cafe Stobart.
This seemingly veteran monkey was apparently alarmed to see humans also in the rainforest canopy. Its because I was hoisted high onto a platform attached to a giant emergent tree. Its the humans at ground level he or she should worry about Canon 300ml.
Among Chiang Mai's seemingly endless array of richly adorned temples, Wat Chedi Luang is one of the most unmissable, consisting of various intricate temple buildings arranged around the massive ruined chedi that gives the complex it's name, a huge brick-built stupa that has remained in it's dramatic earthquake-shattered state since medieval times.
The huge chedi was begun in 1391 and wasn't completed until 1475, at which point it's spire rose to nearly 300ft. The huge stupa only remained complete until 1545 when an earthquake brought most of the upper part crashing down, never to be rebuilt. There was some limited reconstruction in the early 1990s, restoring the form of the tower part of the structure to something like it's original state.
Some of the sculpted decoration has been restored too; originally there was a terrace of lifesize elephants halfway up the base (very little remains of the originals, though those at the south west corner have been reconstructed. The staircases on each side are guarded by the largest, most fearsome nagas we saw, more monstrous than the usual elegant serpents.
The main wihan (prayer hall) only dates from the 1920s but is a particularly beautiful building with facades covered in gilded foliate ornament, and striking Buddha sculptures within.
Seemingly oblivious to the glorious view behind him this patron visited the restaurant at least once a week. It was rumoured that he would buy the tower once it fell into disrepair but following his death in 1996 no plans ever came to fruition
He sat largely expressionless, seemingly removed from the events around him. I can't be sure as I had my eyes on the yamabushi most of the time, but I believe he was uttering a chant while the others prepared the course for fire walking.
You'll notice his robes are a different colour then the yamabushi. Purple is associated with positions of high rank in Japan just as in western countries.
On his head, you can see a gold disk. This is called a "tokin" and images of yamabushi from as early as the 7th century depict them this way.
For an explanation of the festival, see the description in the set. Photos in the set are arranged chronologically to aid in understanding the event. Unfortunately, I've written the photo descriptions with the assumption that the set description was read first. That is likely not the case.

Trees seemingly waiting and listening for the signal that spring has arrived and its time to come into leaf. They were in an area of cleared conifer plantation: spared as they were remaining native deciduous trees?
Seemingly everyone who visits Sorrento gets taken on an hours walk around Sorrento around this square and on to The Pink Elephant where you are liberally plastered with short measures of lemincello. There are just a few scooters here

Seemingly the new thing to do is to strap yourself into a water powered jetpack and power yourself at heights of up to thirty feet across a crocodile infested lagoon.

Another seemingly ancient tree trunk - this one looking rather more dead than the previous one - Parc Municipal in the heart of Luxembourg city, in front of a statue of a former Grande Duchesse of the Netherlands or somewhere .. and only a block away from one of the main financial streets of the city.
Seemingly throwing plates at an item that's just out of range. Alex Lochead Jnr in line for the plate-chucking.
Seemingly spontaneous aerobics astounded lunch-goers across the state today when flash mobs broke out at 12:10 p.m. on the streets of Denver, Greeley and Grand Junction. More than 100 flash mobbers exercised their enthusiasm for healthy eating and active living in each city when they suddenly disrobed to display retro, 1980’s-inspired workout gear and performed a coordinated aerobics routine.
LiveWell Colorado (http://www.livewellcolorado.org), a non-profit organization committed to reducing obesity by inspiring healthy eating and active living, coordinated the flash mobs to ignite enthusiasm for the launch of its statewide “Challenge,” campaign which encourages Coloradoans to challenge each other and their communities to live well.

Seemingly a lot shyer than the male Dik-diks at Roy’s camp, this female (and her not-quite weaned youngster) preferred more dense vegetation on the periphery of the campsite.
Crompton fans, some seemingly from Shaw, at the 2017 Wood Cup Final. The showpiece, possibly the last, held at the Towncroft ground of Middleton Cricket Club, resulted in a 53-run defeat by Pennine League Premiership rivals Rochdale. Young New Zealander Henry Cooper, the professional, was Rochdale's hero. Showing great patience at No 3, he batted almost all his side's innings in scoring 75 from 149 balls then took 3-22 as Rochdale eased home.
The Wood Cup, contested since 1921, originally by Central Lancashire League clubs, seems certain to end with the demise, after just two seasons, of the Pennine League. Brewer JW Lees, the Wood Cup's sponsor for 34 years, hopes to keep alive the knockout competition, but faces a struggle owing to Pennine League clubs being dispersed for 2018 to other leagues.
Match statistics:
Admission: £3. Programme: six pages (w/a). Attendance: 450. Rochdale won the toss and elected to bat. Rochdale 177-8 off 50 overs (Henry Cooper 75, Andrew Dawson 29, Michael Harling 26, Aqib Zulufiqar 3-33, Adam Good 2-38) beat by 53 runs Crompton 124 off 41 overs (Si Wright 26, Kain Dean 24, Henry Cooper 3-22). Umpires: Trevor Bailey and Howard Dronsfield.
Though there are records of cricket being played in Middleton from 1857, the present Middleton Cricket Club were not formed until 1888. Matches were played at Towncroft, a three-acre site that is still the club's home ground, from 1889. In 1924, Alderman John Henry Wood, the club's former captain and later generous benefactor, conveyed the land to the club's trustees. Middleton topped the Central Lancashire League 10 times, the most recent in 2000, and lifted the Wood Cup, the league's leading knockout competition, on 12 occasions, including successive triumphs in 2011 and 2012. The Second Division championship trophy found its way to Towncroft no less than 23 times. In 2016, Middleton became members of the Pennine League, a merger of the Central Lancashire and Saddleworth & District leagues. The two-division Pennine League folded at the end of the 2017 season, with Middleton one of eight clubs accepting invitations to join an expanded Lancashire League. Three former Middleton professionals - Basil D'Oliveira, Frank Tyson and Hedley Verity - went on to play county cricket and for England.
Another seemingly posed picture on a foggy evening in Peggys Cove. These would be great shots to paint.

Each day, we are surrounded by seemingly insignificant objects, taking them from one place to the other, or leaving them on a table for weeks, without paying any attention to them. We ignore or forget them, using things only when we need to, making sure they don’t interfere or inhabit our space. But what if they were not so stable and subservient? What if they could swivel, bounce or even fly. And what if they did so all at the same time?
We want to imagine a place where objects could live and move, harmoniously, and of their own accord. Without interfering with each other these objects would bounce, roll, turn and cross each other’s paths.
This experiment is about re-discovering our daily surroundings.
This is the making of the interactive video that was originally made for If You Could Collaborate exhibition. Each object is assigned to a letter on the keyboard, and can be activated or deactivated at any time. The online version will be soon available to play with at dansedance.com

Labacallee, seemingly the popular spelling for this antiquity, is the largest Wedge Tomb in Ireland, and is located near Glanworth, County Cork. It would have been erected about 4,000 years ago. Excavated in the 1930s, it revealed quite a number of artefacts and skeletal remains of a female. This most impressive tomb has two chambers, and not single but treble side-walls. It's located about 8km NW of Fermoy town.
The name, anglicised from the Irish words Leaba - a Bed, and Cailleach - a Hag, translates as - The Hag's Bed! Maybe, aeons ago, someone knew that poor lady was buried there.
I had only a very short time in the place, so was unable explore the site fully.
Last week I visited a passage grave in North Tipperary, which had DOUBLE side-walls. A picture of that later.

The seemingly endless corridor that leads eventually to the Indein Temple (after a near kilometre walk, trying to avoid making eye contact with shopkeepers all the way, though fortunately they do not try the hard sell). The ruins are located either side of this first section.
Inle Lake is fast becoming one of Myanmar's most popular destinations, with stunning scenery and plenty of 'floating villages' to explore. Most of the buildings here are of wood, standing above the water on 'stilts', allowing plenty of room for changes in the water level of the lake. Near to the settlements are 'floating gardens', huge allotments created on floating reed rafts that are staked into position.
All in all Inle is one of the most picturesque places to visit in the country.
Seemingly made of wood, Binwin the Garden Gnome comes alive when not being photographed. Binwin's hobbies include gardening, being in gardens, and enjoying the company of other garden-oriented creatures.
Seemingly about to enter Free Derry. Me doing a bit of touristy stuff on my recent visit to Londonderry.
Then one seemingly ordinary day would turn out to be extraordinary when a masked gunman would break through the security desk and head straight for Bob's cube! Bob, quietly looking into his filing cabinet turned around to see the gunman staring straight back at him. The gunman wanted a particular file from his office. The only problem was that the file in question...wasn't there. Bob had a problem on his hands.

Casa Décor Barcelona 2010 was held in an old school for the blind in
Barcelona. Here around 120 architects, designers, interior decorators,
artists, craftsmen and artisans were given free rein to create rooms and/or
installations that reflected their work.
The effect as always was magical.
Casa Décor has been operating in Spain since 1992. They have held over 50
shows in Spain and Portugal. They have mounted one show in London, and hope
to be back soon.
Casa Decor Barcelona runs from 5 November to 8 December at
102 Avinguda d'Esplugues, Pedralbes, 08034 Barcelona.

Seemingly oblivious to the crashing surf, five sanderlings scout the receding wave for morsels of food.
A hundred birds sing their morning rituals seemingly all at once. I use my sleeve to pat down my trusty 50D. It's so dark beneath the canopy and cloudy pre-dawn. I'm using trial and error to try and get a good exposure as I don't like raising my ISO when using a tripod and don't yet have a light meter. The rain is getting heavier, I move under a nearby tree fern (Dicksonia antarctica) and wipe my camera down again. it's cold and wet but I'm in one of a handful of temperate rainforests left in New South Wales. I'm thankful the old ways (chop it all down) are no longer the norm. I'm at Rutherford Creek, just off the Snowy Mountains Highway, 50km west of Bega, NSW, Australia, elevation 900m. It's dark and damp and crazy early but I'd much rather be here than asleep in bed like all the softies. ;)
From my October long weekend spent camping at South East Forest National Park on the NSW far south coast.
