Fantastic day! A seemingly endless stream of bikes that went on for hours. The sound of the bikes was so strong you could feel it in your bones. One of the coolest sounds on earth. There are actually 2 separate Rolling Thunder organizations : Rolling Thunder® Motorcycle Rally, Washington DC, Inc. and Rolling Thunder®, Inc, National
seemingly this boating pond on burnham on sea beach is to be removed.so if you ever thought about photographing it nows the time
Seemingly floating on Lake Pichola, the whitewashed Lake Palace Hotel was a former summer palace built by the Maharana in 1740. Today, it is perhaps the most romantic and certainly the most photographed hotel in India. Beyond it on the lake shore is Udaivilas, Oberoi's superdeluxe hotel property.
So continues my seemingly endless quest for a dependable compact Yashica C/Y body to back up my Contax 137MD. This one looks very nice, and the meter seems to work, and the battery check lights up, but the shutter will not fire, and the film will not advance. I am hoping that it is a simple mechanical problem, as the film rewind button on the bottom is also stuck in the depressed position, but I won't know for sure until take the bottom off. But it may be that this camera is suffering an electronic fault similar to those common to the Minolta X-700/570/370 bodies. I hope not, because otherwise, this camera looks very good, even the original soft leatherette covering is (mostly) intact.
The camera came with an off-brand 35~75mm zoom lens. This one was made with the "Katana" brand, so maybe it is as sharp as Damascus steel.
This seemingly simple picture captures many aspects of my study abroad experience. First, the picture was taken on King's Beach which is where we spent many of our days. It was also our view every day from our home. The city in front of me is PE which took us in as friends and family. I am also wearing a Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University sweatshirt which is wear we attended school. Finally, the South African flag holds significance for many South Africans as a symbol of a new democracy and for others it serves as a reminder of a place we call a second home.
Seemingly in a hotel or restaurant. Identity of the couple on the right unknown. Sadly, Barbara and Don, as well as my mother, have all left us.
Seemingly most abundant on the red silt-sandstones of the Chugwater Formation, the scabrous stiff leaves are distinctive and persist in desiccated condition over the winter. This species was not found in the sagebrush steppe of the Pryor Mountain area. This site lies along the escarpments just to the east of the Horseshoe Bend area along the Bighorn River northeast of Lovell Wyoming.
By Paula Rego
This work is a seemingly innocent scene showing four young girls. It exemplifies Rego's powerful use of iconography and socio-political allegory. Despite the blissful atmosphere, there is an underlying sense of threat, amplified by the rake in the foreground. The girl in the background is taunting a pelican. The bird, which according to legend pierced its own heart to feed its young with its blood, is a symbol of self-sacrifice. Under Salazar's regime women were venerated as child-bearers, but at the same time gender discrimination and violence towards them was rife.

Paula Rego
(July – October 2021)
The UK's largest and most comprehensive retrospective of Paula Rego’s work to date.
Since the 1950s, Paula Rego has played a key role in redefining figurative art in the UK and internationally. An uncompromising artist of extraordinary imaginative power, she has revolutionised the way in which women are represented.
This exhibition tells the story of this artist’s extraordinary life, highlighting the personal nature of much of her work and the socio-political context in which it is rooted. It also reveals the artist’s broad range of references, from comic strips to history painting.
It features over 100 works, including collage, paintings, large-scale pastels, ink and pencil drawings and etchings. These include early works from the 1950s in which Rego first explored personal as well as social struggle, her large pastels of single figures from the acclaimed Dog Women and Abortion series and her richly layered, staged scenes from the 2000-10s.
This is a unique opportunity to survey, in the city that Rego has lived in and called home for most of her life, the full range of her work.

Seemingly just as busy these days and always worth a visit - especially if you like 37's at the moment.
On view are 25059 (KWVR) 20066(HNRC) and the regulars 85006, 83012, and 81002.
Seemingly unbothered by my presence, (unless you look at the other shot!) But he did calm down very quickly and just stayed there for ages.
With seemingly unlimited choices for recreation, Havenwood at Hunters Crossing gives you the freedom to indulge in almost any pursuits, whatever they may be. Spend your weekend enjoying the South Texas tradition of tubing down the Guadalupe River or go sailing with friends on nearby Canyon Lake or Lake Travis. Even closer to home you'll find New Braunfels' famous Schlitterbaun Water Park located right on the shores of the Comal River.

Seemingly unrelated, the sextant, earthquakes, and port gave rise to what we now know as Portugal. In short, the invention of the sextant jump started the “age of discovery” and Portugal’s conquest of Brasil, Spain, Madagascar, Macau and others. Barrels of wine enticed sailors to endure the stench of life abroad. To keep the wine from fermenting into vinegar, brandy and cherries were added and thereby unwittingly creating port. England’s thirst literally fortified Portugal’s economy in the 18th century.
From the 2000 flamingos that winter in the Rio Formosa to the Moorish, Romans and Celtic, Portugal has a history of migrations.
This history is what shapes Portugal’s architecture, language and cuisine abound. For example, centuries of Roman influence account for the number of words that begin with “Al”, the word Arabic sounds like “a rabbit”.
In the Algarve Moorish mosques became Catholic monasteries and are now train depots, police stations, and other public facilities. Castles of various dictators are tourists attractions.
The seemingly endless onslaught on men wanting a piece (or two) of me has been grinding my nerves lately. I've been unusually comfortable in my skin, not feeling the need to impress, but content with the way things are, caring more about the girl I am once I open my mouth than the one so accustomed to batting mascaraed eyelashes and smirking at handsome strangers. Maybe it's too much to ask, but I'd like to think I'm a little more than just easy on the eyes.
Seemingly none. Earmarked for demolition as part of a £35m 'regeneration' of Lime Street providing hotel, retail and (yet more) student accommodation.

The seemingly distorted and almost mirrored-looking ridgelines at upper right were caused by the weather conditions at the time.

The interior is a delight, seemingly unrestored, long and low with a plastered ceiling to the nave, a strange almost featureless chancel arch and a fine C15 panelled wagon roof to the chancel having carved wall plates with fleurons, ribs and bosses (although most of these restored). The clue was the small windows at the west end of the nave for a west gallery, although the present one seems to be more of a reinstatement of what was once here rather than original C17 work which the listing information says (and Pevsner offers early C19). It is accessed by a pull down ladder on small wheels, and you can closely inspect the Royal Arms dated 1792. Much of the woodwork is C17, there is extra seating available by pulling out sliding benches. Painted texts on the wall too, including one "The aged women...... shall teach the young women to be sober, to be chaste, keepers at home, to love their husbands." The north transept is subdivided and has a glazed screen to the two sections beyond (locked). The only jarring features, clearly seen in my view, the electronic sixties/seventies-styled organ behind the C13 font and the prominently displayed fire extinguisher! The village stocks are preserved in the porch, presumably for among others those young women who did not heed the advice inside!
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 imaginary Cape Horn. To quote Jerry Kirby: “every time I ask it seems to be a thousand miles further away than the last time I asked.” I told him to stop asking. We've been thinking and talking about it for so long now that I'm starting to wonder if it’s still there."

Seemingly Abandoned
23 May 2013 -- 143/365
Johnston, Rhode Island
The remains of a hay wagon and some farm equipment lay seemingly abandoned on the border of Dame Farm and Snake Den State Park. Technically, the two overlap since the historic farm was is part of the state managed property when Snake Den was purchased from the Palazzi family in 1969. The state plans to maintain this portion of the farm as a working farm to preserve Rhode Island's "rich but diminishing agricultural heritage."
Despite the name, Snake Den is not associated with any of the reptiles that reputedly occupied much of the state. Rather, it's named for a canyon-like fissure that is a remnant of the state's glacial past. The 1000 acre park has numerous hiking trails that were sparsely marked the last time I wandered through the area. Some of the trails lead to this field, although the abundance of deer ticks (and the accompanying threat of Lyme Disease) in the area has reduced the number of summer visitors significantly.
Post processing started with a brilliant warm filter in Topaz Adjust. I adjusted adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

They can also add lights, Board, Mesa and other accessories easily, so modeling of them are diverse, unique and good-looking.
In recent years, the tension fabric displays are welcomed and loved by lots of exhibitors for trade show in exhibition halls.
Seemingly 圓葉雞屎樹 (Lasianthus plagiophyllus or Lasianthus wallichii).
On seemingly random Fridays, usually right after I return home from work, I'm startled by a sudden whoosh of voices zooming past my house. It takes me a moment, and then I realize, aha, its the Critical Mass group out for one of their pro-bicycling rides. Critical Mass is a pro-bicycle (not necessarily anti-car) environmental group that advocates riding bikes rather than driving cars, when possible. Among other ideas they've suggested turning Lake Shore Drive into a bicycle -only path! God Bless 'Em
This seemingly inoffensive bird woke me up a few times with the uncanny noise it makes. I came across a poem about this in Antjie Krog's Fynbos Feetjes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antjie_Krog
I am taking the liberty of quoting the poem below:
HADEDA-HEKSE
die Hadedas in die tuin
is twee hekse wat op besemstokke
saans oor die dakke skil
die Hadedas in die tuin
het albei hoogtrevees - dis
waarom hulle so waansinniglik gry.
Here's what the English version of this book says (a free translation of the above):
HADEDA WITCHES
The Hadedas in our suburb sweep
like witches on a broomstick flight
above our rooftop every night.
Now here's a secret you should keep:
their fearful cries that make flesh creep,
tell us these birds are scared of heights.
you know how sometimes you have days where seemingly nothing goes right? well 11/11/11 was like that for me. i was in a small town called huancabamba (stop sniggering at the back) and had intended to go to a smaller village harmonically named salala and hike to a sacred lake. it's fair to say that didn't go to plan, and my day was littered with small annoyances which individually weren't too bad, but combined together created a pissed off tim. in honour of the symmetrical date, here are 11 of them:
1) i woke up to very, very heavy rain
2) the 2 banks in the village wouldn't accept my cards, so had to survive on the very little money i had in my pocket
3) i had to wait over an hour in the rain for a taxi, and then had to pay twice the regular price for the journey
4) i unintentionally tipped the driver by leaving my bottle of water in the back, leaving me with half a bottle of coke for the lengthy trek
5) oh, and i also had no food save for 2 small breadrolls and 4 small cookies
6) during the walk i got lost at least twice, both times incorrectly walking too far up a very steep hill.
7) a stick i'd found and fashioned into a walking aid broke in two resulting in me slipping and falling into a pile of mud
8) most of the locals i met who were friendly at first gradually turned into intense drunken characters. you could smell the alcohol coming out of their pores and they were genuinely scary
9) after another long wait for a return taxi the driver vehemently insisted that i not put on my seat belt when i reached for it, and then drove unnecessarily dangerously, almost as if to punish my cautiousness
10) when i got back to my accommodation my old room was occupied, and all that was available was a room at twice the price
11) oh, and after walking for over 7 hours i never managed to find the fucking lake
there were many more little things that went wrong. in fact what i thought summed up the day was when i accidentally dropped the lid of my coke bottle into the muddy ground below. it landed face up (the good way up) and i thought - huh, maybe this day is turning around. i then fumbled picking it up and it fell again, this time landing face down. i took my camera with me, but despite the admittedly pretty landscape i didn't once take it out of my bag. i wasn't in the mood to capture, or appreciate, the beauty around me. so this is a slightly abstract shot taken on a far more successful hike when i was in huaraz
here's the original
Seemingly abandoned, with the photo having been taken in Farnborough the day before the MOT expired. Sure, cars of this vintage are becoming increasingly common on the ol' pile but they just feel too young!
New ownership in November 2015, and it would've probably had circa 150k miles on it at the time of the photo.
Seemingly being used as a buffer stop, the stripped remains of 1522 are dumped alongside the mainline at Barreiro Depot. Saturday 20th October 2001.
This seemingly simple, yet historic, structure was erected in 1872 to the north of the the downtown area in Pioche, Nevada (pronounced PEE-ohch). The structure was designed in Italianate style by architects T. Dimmock and Thomas Keefe. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
It was originally contracted for a cost of $26,000, however those plans failed and the cost amounted to $75,000 in 1872. Due to financial difficulties the county was forced to pay off the coasts of the building gradually over a period of 66 years, and it ultimately cost Lincoln County $800,000. That amounts to roughly $11 Million in the 21st Century. As a result this building, which is today a museum, has been dubbed the "Million Dollar Courthouse."
I'm not sure about this. When we got back, he was gone. I would be guessing that the ambulance picked him up.
They are ONLY the buds of wild plum blossoms, which are seemingly everywhere in this part of the state right now. Still, it was the surprise of finding them where I did in a relatively shaded spot and the the quality of the light that seemed to spotlight various branches, that stopped me in my tracks.
A NOTE TO MY FELLOW PHOTOGRAPHERS:
Last week a woman stopped along a Nebraska road outside a small town to take a photograph of a tree. Sounds familiar, yes? Three men in a pickup truck pulled up behind her car. The men assaulted the woman and locked her, naked, in her trunk. She was found three days later by men chopping wood nearby who heard her screaming and kicking the car from inside the trunk.
I watched her last night as she told her story to a television crew and it has certainly given me food for thought. How many times have I wandered off alone, in my own little world, just me and my camera, mostly unaware of the world around me?!? How many times have I thought such things would never happen here?
I've teamed this message with this photo as the photo was taken in secluded spot, along abandoned railroad tracks - and just a short distance from a makeshift campsite obviously used by vagrants. It is the second such shelter that we have come across while wandering in an area just outside my beloved wetlands.
I am not easily spooked but let's be honest: I am a female carrying what may appear to be a valuable camera setup but with no other means of defense in sight (I never carry a tripod if I can help it!). Easy prey, no?
Food for thought at least. Read the story here.
