This is in honour of my best Flickr friend, Dwi, who in many ways reminds me of Jonathan Seagull. She is a vivacious, beautiful, charming, understanding, strong, and patient woman! She is always looking for solutions and ready to help all who need her!! Wishing you the best birthday ever and hoping that it is filled with love and joy. Thank you for being a very important part of my life, your friendship is golden!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
In 2006, I posted a very heaverly cropped version of this picture (see photo below and note above). It was very warmly received and for that I am most grateful indeed to everyone concerned!
This is the original unadulterated slide as it came out of my camera in 1963. Unable to solve the problem of focus on mum, I decided to salvage what I could of the picture by cropping!
However, in doing so, I think I lost out on composition and depth which was probably what I was looking for when I took the photo! Also, I feel pretty bad about leaving out one of the crew members, the mother no less, leaving her daughter to do all the work!!!
I seem to remember that the picture looked a lot better when I used to shine it on the living room wall. It was one of my favorites in fact. Was it me, was it the wall or is it just time? Could there have been other solutions to the problem, apart from taking a better photo in the first place?
Well, that's the case for the defence. I now call upon you, my peers, to pass judgement. Did I do right or did I do wrong? Were there indeed other solutions; like a monitor screen the size of a living room wall! Or, should I have just kept mum in the dark!!!
Who's going to cast the first stone?
Take care, my friends, and many thanks for calling,

There is nothing I enjoy watching more through my macro lens than a film of bubble solution before it pops. The level of activity is quite amazing. It reminds me of psychedelic art during the 1960s counterculture. Groovy!
Fuji X-E2 plus Samyang telephoto mirror lens at close range. You are, of course, completely free to associate this image with ideas of your own. To me, there is some symbolism involved, namely, a visual expression of the way many nations have rubber-stamped or given their seal of approval to the atrocities directed by Israel's right-wing government - not necessarily by their words, but by their deeds or rather by their non-action. Some nations had already acknowledged the statehood of Palestine and France has now joined this group. This is extremely important for the pursuit of the long-awaited "two-state" solution. A quick fix it certainly is not, for the rulers of Gaza, though fairly diminished now, are Hamas, a totalitarian and violent regime that has as much to do with liberty as a cow with playing the violin. But France has made a point.
I came across a slew of small Kansas towns this past summer, but this one was wonderful and photogenic. Unfortunately, I can't remember its name. But I found this old Chrysler and couldn't resist.

I probably shouldn't mess with history but... This is my take on the chariot ruts in the paved roads made over 2000 years ago then driven over by chariots and suddenly covered with volcanic ash for almost all of the last 2000 years. Damage to stone surfaces takes centuries and looks very strange to kiwi eyes. Our buildings and tracks since the Maori came here about 600 years back were made in wood. I don't count potholes made by trucks as interesting as chariot marks :) This photo, though not the Photoshop part, inspired by Geza (aka Wilsing)

Amsterdam - Admiralengracht / Van Kinsbergenstraat.
Residential block, built in 1926 to a design by Bureau Gulden and Geldmaker.
This block does have an unmistakable "Amsterdam School" appearance, especially due to the attractive corner solution.
Architects Gulden and Geldmaker excel in usually more sober designs, but they could indeed come up with expressive designs (amsterdamse-school.nl).
The Amsterdam School is a style of architecture that arose from 1910 through about 1930 in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam School movement is part of international Expressionist architecture, sometimes linked to German Brick Expressionism (Wp).
Summer is winding down, and my yard is alive with pollinators. Butterflies are passing through everyday and the plants in my yard- like the butterfly bush- are a solution for their need for a tasty solution of sugary nectar. For 125 in 2025 #88 Solution
Well, because of our freezing temps over the past few weeks, there aren't any new guys emerging. The issue with this lucky one is that my Z7II wasn't able to focus (low light/longer macro lens). The Z9 spreads out the focus assist light better to capture focus. I'm sure other brand cameras do this also. It's difficult to explain if you haven't encountered the problem (or with the aid of diagrams).
Parking problems!? Traffic problems!? No worries, we found the solution: transform cars into street lights!!!
In fact, this is one of my older MOCs that I have built over two years ago. Some of you probably already know it from my Brickshelf gallery or Brothers-Brick. I have only reviewed some of the photos and they are now displayed in a slightly higher resolution.
For everyone who does not know it yet: this MOC is my favorite mecha from the Classic BattleTech series...in fact it is a Robotech design, but in the beginning it was also used for Battletech until it became "unseen"...whatever...I love this 75 ton steel monster...even if it is made of plastic....

Hélène Laporte:
- Présidente de la délégation française du groupe Identité et Démocratie au Parlement européen.
- Députée européenne.
- Conseillère régionale de Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Comme nombre de politiques, Madâme Hélène Laporte cumule déjà des mandats et en plus prétend à être élue députée française!
Deux conclusions sont possibles : soit le travail demandé aux politiques se résume à deux heures de présence par jour avec un travail souvent délégué à des assistants payés par le contribuable, soit ils le bâclent!
Et l'un n'empêche pas l'autre.
Pourquoi les multinationales pharmaceutiques n'inventent-elles pas un vaccin contre la cupidité et la mégalomanie?
Ah! Mais bien sûr! Parce qu'elles ont besoin de la classe politique si facilement corruptible pour imposer leurs produits sur les marchés publics comme privés!
Et on s'étonne que les français n'aillent même plus voter!
Quelle honte!
