A small fisherman boat sailing on Bosphorus at sunset. Buildings of European side of Istanbul are aligned along the sea. This is a scan of a printed photo that was taken in 2014. I retouched it with oil paint filter of photoshop to hide the pixels. I love the colors, composition and the light in this photo so much, I was really upset when I lost the digital copy.

"Things are such, that someone lifting a cup or watching the rain, petting a dog or singing, just singing - could be doing as much for this Universe as anyone."

We were pleasantly surprised to find a Singing Honeyeater (Gavicalis virescens) in the central park of Mitiamo, a small town near Terrick Terrick, central Victoria, Australia. The Honeyeater was constantly moving and calling to another nearby bird, but paused for a moment in the shade of a Eucalypt for this photo.
In Korean "Singing Stream" is "Noree Hanin Shinen Mool". This happy little stream runs from the surrounding wooded hills behind my position straight ahead into the town of Yangpyeong in the far background. The quality of the water at this point I would guess was very good because there was no run-off from fertilized farmland and no buildings behind me from the point at which I took this--there were only woods. I dread to think about what happens to this poor stream as it wends its way through town: sewage, garbage, and chemical run-off await it. Yangpyeong has experienced explosive growth in the years since this was taken.

Columbia Hills State Park was a beautiful place to go for a light afternoon hike. The meadowlarks were out in force, such a beautiful bird with an even more beautiful song. They are a bit skiddish though, this one let me get fairly close.
Well, maybe his breakfast.
The panasonic does not do well in low light. It was only 8:15, with no sun, and through double glazing, so softer than I would have liked.
Gavicalis versicolor. WTP. Laid up for three weeks.... finally a couple of days escape to the spiritual home....and no wind. I saw one of these on the other side of the river a while back, but the light was better yesterday.

Notre-Dame de Paris; meaning "Our Lady of Paris", referred to simply as Notre-Dame, is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité (an island in the Seine River), in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. The cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. Several attributes set it apart from the earlier Romanesque style, particularly its pioneering use of the rib vault and flying buttress, its enormous and colorful rose windows, and the naturalism and abundance of its sculptural decoration. Notre-Dame also stands out for its three pipe organs (one historic) and its immense church bells.
Built during medieval France, construction of the cathedral began in 1163 under Bishop Maurice de Sully and was largely completed by 1260, though it was modified in succeeding centuries. In the 1790s, during the French Revolution, Notre-Dame suffered extensive desecration; much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed. In the 19th century, the coronation of Napoleon and the funerals of many of the French Republic's presidents took place at the cathedral. The 1831 publication of Victor Hugo's novel Notre-Dame de Paris (in English: The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) inspired interest which led to restoration between 1844 and 1864, supervised by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. On 26 August 1944, the Liberation of Paris from German occupation was celebrated in Notre-Dame with the singing of the Magnificat. Beginning in 1963, the cathedral's façade was cleaned of soot and grime. Another cleaning and restoration project was carried out between 1991 and 2000.
On 15 April 2019, while Notre-Dame was undergoing renovation and restoration, its roof caught fire and burned for 15 hours. The cathedral sustained serious damage. The flèche (the timber spirelet over the crossing) was destroyed, as was most of the lead-covered wooden roof above the stone vaulted ceiling. This contaminated the site and nearby environment with lead. Restoration proposals suggested modernizing the cathedral, but the French National Assembly rejected them, enacting a law in July 2019 that required the restoration preserve the cathedral's "historic, artistic and architectural interest". The task of stabilizing the building against potential collapse was completed in November 2020. The cathedral is expected to reopen on 8 December 2024; the date was confirmed by President Macron.
