iPhone image taken out the window of an airplane which had just landed at Newcastle, England after a pretty bumpy ride across the Irish sea. The lovely bead like droplets on the window caught my eye, and I looked to see could I frame an interesting image. The strong yellow Stop sign, and the diagonal added extra interest in the composition. I used the native camera on the iPhone 6 plus and processed with Snapseed, Mextures (which I only recently discovered through browsing images on iPhoneography central) and PhotoToaster.
This young lady with pink hat held us for 14 minutes on a stretch of road works south of Kaikoura. It was badly damaged by earthquakes 2 years ago and recent storms. Taken from the front passenger seat but we didn't stop for a photo :)
Sono adirata, anzi arrabbiata!!
non mi piace per niente che dopo la sterilizzazione delle gattine randagie venga loro mozzato un pezzo di orecchio! :((((

Is it an impossible lesson to learn? War only achieves violence, hate, pain, death, loss, mass destruction, lack of health and welfare provision, destruction of our ecosystem, climate and environment disruption, large scale famine and total lack of social order. Is this really what we want for our children? Would it not be better to reach out and find mutual solutions as difficult as that is, surely it is the better way to go!!! We all belong to humanity and share the same desire for peace, we can and must come together and work together not against one another. We are stronger together and when we look out for each other our lives are better and we are happier! Come on my Flickr friends, let's promote peace it is the only way to live!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
The Henry Lawson Bus Stop.
Henry Lawson Avenue.
McMahons Point, Sydney.
Photographed last night at dusk.
Sunday 24th September, 2023.
So yesterday, after finishing work at Wahroonga, I drove down the Pacific Highway to North Sydney. Amazingly, I managed to get parking just near the Commodore Hotel along Blues Point Road. After the requisite coffee at Piato Cafe, I walked down to the harbour and grabbed some sunset, dusk and night-time photos from different spots around McMahons Point.

abandoned employee barracks at one of the manufacturing sites at the former Green River Ordnance Plant near Amboy,IL.
Green River opened in 1942 and at its peak,employed nearly 4000 workers.It closed in 1945 and many of the warehouses and plants were sold to private companies.Contamination is still a problem in some of the former plant sites-the area is listed as a Brownfield site and ongoing hazardous waste cleanup is ongoing....
"The dandelion does not stop blooming because it is told it is a weed. It says 'One day, they'll be making wishes upon me'".
Dandelions are often considered weeds, but they can also symbolize hope, strength, and transformation. People blow on dandelion seeds to make wishes, and some believe that the seeds carry thoughts and dreams to loved ones. Never stop blooming♥

J'ai été contraint de suspendre un moment ma sortie en vélo à cause d'une averse, et je me suis abrité sous le porche du garage d'un immeuble à Sainte-Gemmes-sur-Loire, providentiellement installé au bon endroit. J'y ai découvert que les Mantes religieuses apprennent le code de la route consciencieusement : celle-ci s'était arrêtée juste avant le panneau "STOP" et observait attentivement la situation avant de redémarrer, comme moi. Ou bien envoyait-elle un message?
I was forced to suspend my bike ride for a while because of a shower, and I sheltered under the porch of the garage of a building in Sainte-Gemmes-sur-Loire, providentially installed in the right place. I discovered that the Praying Mantis conscientiously learn the rules of the road, like us: it had stopped just before the "STOP" sign and carefully observed the situation before restarting, like me. Or was it sending a message?

Haiku poem:
-------------------
Footsteps lost to snow,
Nature’s call, a quiet plea,
Stop, breath in silence.
dammit, I missed the art book fair ... :)
seen yesterday evening while walking the streets of downtown Vancouver in a blessed lull in the rain. Its been raining all night, still raining, no complaints, better than no rain.
When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.
When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.”

When I was a kid I loved making and playing with dummies. I stumbled upon this wonderful grouping on a trip to Rhyolite, a ghost town on the outskirts of Death Valley. A classic boom/bust mining town, Rhyolite had a brief, shining moment as a boom town, complete with banks, a symphony, a train station and schools. Within less than 10 years, the mines had pretty much played out and the town slowly went to ruin. I don't know who put up this great piece of soft sculpture art but I appreciate the effort and love the result.
Afternoon light catching bare tree branches at the Temple of Sinawava, shuttle stop #9 on the Zion National Park loop. I visited on a whim on the return leg of a road trip and it ended up being one of the most satisfying vacation days of my life, thanks to fresh eyes, Fall light, and mild temperature.

At my brothers home, one of the 10 oldest in the town, built 1750, was formerly a stage coach stop. The house is decorated throughout in period fashion.

Chissà
se un felice momento d'amore o la gioia di respirare o camminare in un chiaro mattino e l'odorare l'aria fresca, non valga tutta la sofferenza e lo sforzo che la vita implica...
L'amore è l'unica risposta sensata e soddisfacente al problema dell'esistenza umana...
Amare qualcuno non è solo un forte sentimento, è una scelta, una promessa, un impegno...
Erich Fromm, morto il 18 Marzo 1980
Avevo letto molto tempo fa alcuni libri di questo psicologo, tra cui 'l' arte di amare ',' ' Essere o avere?', 'la fuga dalla libertà', che mi erano piaciuti molto

Love is the only meaningful and fair answer to the problem of the human existence....
Forse se in questo momento smettessimo di correre e ci fermassimo a pensare?

What if we stop to run and begin to think?
This is the first photo that I've uploaded in 2025. It is looking up from the base of the stone spiral staircase at the Iglesia de Santa Catalina. A gothic church in Valencia, Spain.

I have no idea what the future will bring, or what I'll be posting on Flickr this year, but I thought this would be an appropriate image in which to start the year.
