Seemingly in its day, this was rather a modern and impressive fountain in Bournemouth - 1920's to 1930's.

The Serengeti is as seemingly endless plains ecosystem located in north Tanzania (this photo) and extending to south-western Kenya between latitudes 1 and 3 degrees south latitude and 34 and 36 degrees east longitude. It spans approximately 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi). The Serengeti hosts the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world and is one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world. The region contains the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and several game reserves. Approximately 70 larger mammal and 500 bird species are found there. This high diversity is a function of diverse habitats, including riverine forests, swamps, kopjes, grasslands, and woodlands. Blue wildebeests (shown here), gazelles, zebras, and African buffalos are some of the commonly found large mammals in the region. There is a proposal to build a highway through the Serengeti, but to my mind the effect would be catastrophic for the wildlife. The word "Serengeti" is derived from the Maasai language (Maa); specifically, "Serengit" meaning "Endless Plains". (credit Wikipedia)
A seemingly-lone spruce stands guard over many acres of un-scarred territory....beautiful yet unsettling. I really like the contrast between the busy, detailed and green middle and foreground ant that cold and barren hills beyond. ( 20 "x 30" std canvas )
Seemingly one of those photos where the background is desaturated using a mask. Haha, no, a total accident. I cropped this in Pixelmator and hit "Auto Enhance," --just to see. Usually it looks like crap. But in this case it sucked all the slate blue color out.
No fuss, no muss.
Except for the weird brushy looking stuff from the stem, in the thin layer of water.
This seemingly innocent little bottle has a somewhat interesting past.
In that it was once owned, according to the certificate of authenticity, to one Joseph Bonanno, or Joe Bananas, who was the boss of the New York City mafia family that bore his name from 1931 to 1968.
It's amazing what you can find on ebay.
Seemingly folks were buying the popcorn and feeding it to the fish, the big fat fish in the lake.

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.
Seward Johnson ‘Makeshift Memorial’, honoring the History of 9/11, Seward Johnson Center for the Arts, Grounds for Sculpture, New Jersey.
The sculpture is based on the sculpture ‘Double Check’. Originally it was installed in Liberty Place Park in lower Manhattan, and represented the people who worked in NY financial district. After September 11, 2001, it came to represent the business man, sitting hunched over his briefcase, seemingly in shock and despair. After 9/11 people left cards, crosses, notes, photos of missing persons, even a helmet and a fire hose at the sculpture. Steward Johnson recreated the original ‘Double Check’ with all these objects and named it ‘Makeshift Memorial’.
Seemingly different species growing atop a Douglas Fir at sea wall north side of Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC, Canada, Dec. 2019. Probably some kind of witch's broom, but some conifers may grow like this in response to infection or herbivory. inaturalist.ca/observations/36950377
Visitors from Japan might be bemused to see the museum's selected Japan artifacts grouped this way, since they are decidedly old (in many situations in Japan new is most appealing and visually attractive) and come from seemingly unrelated places within the social life and cultural landscape. As a group of artifacts and label text, they touch on the people of Japan and the meaning of their lives in a fragmentary way; not very true to modern life.
On the other hand, museum visitors with little or no direct experience of the language, land, and people of Japan may react with feeling of fascination. From movies, school days of social studies textbooks and tests, and other sources the visitors would add these artifacts to their prior knowledge, limited though it is. In no way would they assume the glass case is a comprehensive snapshot of modern Japan, but seeing artifacts up close and with their own eyes does personalize the subject through direct sensory experience.

A seemingly endless parade of hikers passed along this trail west of Devil's Playground. They all were coming up the west side of the peak from the Crags Campground, or perhaps the Mennonite Camp. This view is to the southwest, towards Cripple Creek and Victor.
This seemingly random young lady was at Bristol celebrating her birthday. Her friend arranged for her to be bombarded with flowers.
Seemingly Christo and Jeanne-Claude-inspired rennovations. The wrapping disguises the big orange wall's transformation into "something else".
A seemingly typical spring day in Ohio has brought rounds of pop up rain showers, wind, and spurts of sunshine. At the tail end of a short rain shower, this westbound NS Manifest heads up the Sandusky District through the control point at Troyton led by an SD60E
Seemingly no longer operating, this hotel on Upper Maudlin Street in Bristol is a far cry from the world famous hotel in Jerusalem of the same name.

Seemingly oblivious to the safari goers, this young male lion trots past matatus to be with his pride. My previous shot is one lion on his way out (www.flickr.com/photos/dhaug/8231572604/in/photostream/) , while this one looks like he'll have a presence to be reckoned with...
Seemingly a country lane (it was originally just that until Northenden.....along with neighbouring Wythenshawe was moved into the City of Manchester in the 1920s) but it's actually an urban suburb ;)
Seemingly the backbone of the Polish rail network is the numerous EN57 class of EMUs, which are rather basic and not the most pleasant of things. Here EN57-694 is seen at one of the Krakow suburban stations.
This seemingly huge lizard was spotted by a friend while looking for birds. We thought it must be a Chuckwalla on account of the size, but those do not have spiny scales. (This frame enlarged 2X to show details.) It looks to be:
Clark's Spiny Lizard - Sceloporus clarkii (to 144 mm length!)
Shows, I think, these characters of S. clarkii:
a-3 prominent ear scales
b-incomplete collar
c-dark crossbands on forelimbs (faint, but just visible!)

Seemingly at the top of the world, with nothing above them but clear sky and the stars beyond, this clutter of plants seemed silently ready for the sunset that would soon begin to play out in front of them. The clouds were restless at this point, like waves in an ocean of treacle. In their slow chaos they occsionally exposed the rainforests beneath them; and further out, the vast expanse of the Atlantic.
The sunset ended up being the best I had ever seen. This status was short lived though. Two days later, atop Pico do Arieiro I witnessed the most magical sunset I have yet seen.

This seemingly ordinary pub is a Grade II listed building. It was designed by the architect, T Cecil Howitt, who designed a number of civic buildings in Nottingham in the 1920s and 30s, including many of the 'garden-city' style council houses. Apparently, inside, it is very original to its 1930s design.
Seemingly uncertain about where it's going, G&J Holmes Optare Solo YJ55YGY pauses in Smedley Street West on 10 April 2006, working the 0925 from Hackney to Hurst Farm Estate via Matlock town centre. It's possible the untidy display is because Hurst Farm wasn't on the blind as a destination, following recent route changes that had separated out the Hurst Farm and Cavendish Park services.
Seemingly unique to St Thomas USVI. Heavy duty pick ups with local bodywork. Waiting to pick up cruise ship excursion passengers at the Charlotte Amelie terminal.
il regalo più personale e romantico e sensato che abbia ricevuto. Mi ha fatto sentire amata e compresa. e anche nuda. e felice di esserlo. quando vieni scoperta, dalla persona giusta, sei felice, perché sai che quella persona sa esattamente come ri-coprirti. e difenderti.
Noi siamo cactus. siamo brutti e siamo vittime; cerchiamo terapie, e per diventare più forti e non soffrire la siccità ci copriamo di spine. ci difendiamo.
due cactus possono abbracciarsi senza paura di farsi male.
This seemingly insignificant piece of glass is the first piece of glass made by the Sutton Brothers for Lincoln Cathedral. A note in a Nottingham newspaper for late 1857 refers to their offer to make a window for the Cathedral, having been involved in making glass for some years, only to be met with reluctance on the part of the Chapter. Eventually they were permitted to make a small panel for this window and it so please the Chapter that they permitted the brothers to fill the window immediately to the left of this one with glass (You can see that window here: www.flickr.com/photos/22274117@N08/5373415795/).
They went on to fill many windows in the Cathedral with their glass. I owe this reference to the kindness of Dr Jim Cheshire, who is researching the Victorian glass for a forthcoming book on the glass of the Cathedral).
Seemingly floating on a sea of grass, A491 uses main one for headroom at Shops North as it begins its work. A pair of BNSF motors sandwich a CP AC4400 up front, with two CN's trailing.
Seemingly annual trip to the GP to try and snap the F1 cars, got glorious sun again! Shot on my Fuji hs20 exr, edited I between sessions on the iPad and uploaded straight away! You gotta love tech!
& seemingly just having fun, paddling upstream a couple dozen yards then floating downstream, spinning around like a carnival ride, then upstream again... there when I arrived, still there when I departed, 30 minutes later (suspect more likely guarding a nest or waiting for mate)

Seemingly in freefall, the elegantly tapered base of the Rainier Tower in downtown Seattle rises its defiance of gravity.
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.
Seemingly on loan from the Bluebell, "Captain Baxter" provided the motive power for rides on the main demonstration line.
