Abbey "Ten Duinen"
Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Ten Duinen, short Duinenabdij, was an abbey on the Belgian coast in Koksijde. The abbey joined the Order of Cîteaux in 1138 and was abolished in 1796, meanwhile in Bruges. The motto of the abbey was Fac necessitate virtutem; Make a virtue of necessity.
Shot through some dead tree limbs to get a shot of this beautiful cardinal. One of the more beautiful things I found in bastrop tx.
Sometimes, in a barren moorland, you come across a single tree.
Usually, they're stunted little fellas, but they have to be tough to survive in the windblown conditions.
Especially here, by the sea.
So that makes them special.
Right?
This large hall was largely unused in the last 2 years, as celebrations of graduation were suspended. I was inside this building only once, as did probably most of Toronto's graduates. As I understand there are also some celebration held there for the academia, but most citizens will see this building only from outside. Hopefully the domed hall will survive the present construction, where several stories deep hole of the size of two football fields was dugged out at the University grounds just few meters away from this structure. Designed by Darling and Pearson and completed in 1907.

One biggest water facilities made by man on the balkans. Three villages were barried under it with the houses. When the water level is low there is a church that could be seen on one end. During winter its place for some birds that are trying to survive.
I was glad to see this wintering white-throated sparrow survived the polar vortex. I thought for sure it would be a goner when the temperature sank to -35 F one night last week.
I do not care about fame
I do not care about wealth
All these materialistic needs are just making me sick
What I do care about is making it

Have a great and safe fence Friday all!
A little wave I stumbled on this evening captured back in January 2019. It survived numerous house keeping culls as I like the dramatic light from the low late sun. Enjoy your weekend.
W5856 is the oldest surviving airworthy Fairey Swordfish in the world. She first flew on Trafalgar Day (21 October) 1941 and was a “Blackfish”, built by Blackburn Aircraft at Sherburn-in-Elmet and delivered to 82 MU (Lichfield) on 20 October 1941 for overseas transport to Gibraltar. W5856 served with the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet for a year. Little is known of her role while on active Service in the Mediterranean but it is likely W5856 was based at North Front, Gibraltar, carrying out patrols over the Straits. She was then returned to Fairey’s Stockport factory for refurbishment during winter 1942/43.
Seen at the 2024 RAF Cosford Airshow.

Nestled in woods in Germany lies the Eltz castle, one of many that litter the countryside. It has survived through history without ever been destroyed and is still owned by the same family which has lived there since the 12th century. The old cobbled approach seems little changed over the years, you can imagine life here many centuries ago.
That's exactly what I am doing lol. Day 11 off cigarettes and still surviving! Just wanted to give you all an update on how I'm doing. A special thanks to those who send me encouraging emails that give me the strength to keep going ~hugs~

Yes, another Magnolia image. They last for such a short time so I make the most of their limited lives.
Hope the sun is shining in your part of the world! Thank you as always for your much appreciated visits, faves, comments and awards!

Deep Purple... the Song:
If you’ve survived long enough to remember putting a 45’s on the record player, then you may remember this song. First recorded by Paul Whiteman in 1934, Nino Tempo & April Stevens made it an American Rock & Roll Hit in 1963.
When a deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
in the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh 🎶

Used a ND 6 Stop Filter
This shot comes from the Nicola Valley, located close to Merritt, BC. I have had a good deal of success photographing this area likely because it has much to offer. It is a place filled with fertile farmland, large lakes, mountain ranges and much more. In addition, the area is also open to various types of weather.
Here, an unaccompanied tree peaks above some rolling hills and is positioned alone against that incoming weather. Standing like the Ranchers in the area, it is a metaphor to their strong will. Often the area receives the type of weather needed for crops and livestock. However, it is also a place where it can all turn foul. Both prevail, both survive.
The West Virginia White, is a butterfly found in North America in the Great Lakes states, along the Appalachians from New England to Alabama, and in southern Ontario. They are typically found in moist deciduous forests. Forestry, development, and a highly-invasive species that it confuses with its host plant are causing this species to decline.
Along with the butterfly Pieris oleracea, it is threatened by the invasive weed garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata. The butterflies, having not evolved to be familiar with the plant, confuse it with their host plants. The offspring laid on garlic mustard do not survive. (Wikipedia)
Chaffey's Lock, Ontario, Canada. May 2014.
We survived Hurricane Henri just fine. Thank you for all your good wishes. The hurricane took a hard right when it hit Long Island and all we got was rain, no wind at all.
However last night we had a very loud thunderstorm. Poor Tug was barking and crying in the bathroom. My husband was kind enough to go stay with him (3:00AM) and he did stop the barking but not the shaking and trembling.
I swear he was watching the skies as we headed to the park this morning.
Exposition of Max Pinckers in the old hospital chapel
(was part of Krasj, a 2 yearly art trail, which brings several modern artists together in several locations, spread over the city)
Max Pinckers is a Belgian documentary photographer, who became a nominee member of Magnum Photos in 2015. He grew up in Indonesia, India, Australia and Singapore.
How do you communicate, through photography, what it’s like to live in a city like Mumbai? A city of such variety, ethnically and economically, one of total poverty for so many and free of want for a few.
Traditionally, Western photographers have approached the city from a humanitarian perspective, using people – their expressions, gestures, moments of clarity – that might symbolize the social realities of the city.
Max Pinckers found a new way to visualize Mumbai. He photographed with a careful, cool composition, how human beings apply their creativity, how they problem solve, how, in the most basic ways, they use ingenuity to survive and overcome the hardships of their environment. Pinckers advocates a manifest subjective approach, which is made visible through the explicit use of theatrical lighting, stage directions or extras. Extensive research and diligent technical preparation are combined with improvisation to obtain lively, unexpected, critical, poetic and simultaneously documentary images.
A little female Anna Hummingbird perched under the last rays of light before night falls.
Though there is no longer snow on the tree branches, there is still snow on the ground and these little birds not only survive the winters here on the island, but they are already nesting. My parents have fledgling Anna Hummingbirds in their yard and its only mid Feb on an exceptionally cold winter here on the island! These little birds are amazing, considering their cousins, the Rufous Hummingbirds migrate south for the winter months!
I noticed that the apparent mother of Aubrey, the rabbit that grew up under my deck, visited him virtually every day when he was young but seemingly earning his own living eating grass. I always thought that the young ones were on their own when they left their siblings and began eating grass.
However, I have noticed that the above mother has been nursing its young bunny in my yard this week despite the fact that the bunny is also eating grass. It is likely that Aubrey's mother was nursing him at this age too, when she visited him regularly. Does this mean that the moms visit all their surviving young throughout the neighbourhood at this stage? If so, that must be hard to manage.
Rurikouji stupa at night.
The light-up was done using colour toning floodlights, which, I felt, was too flashy. This image is edited by reducing the level of saturation.
The stupa is under repair works as of this writing in September 2024.
The Oouchi had a tradition to provide patronage to cultural figures. Another important cultural figure would be Francisco de Xavier (1506-1552).
He first arrived at Yamaguchi in 1550 and met Oouchi Yoshitaka (大内義隆 1507 - 1551) but failed to gain patronage because he denounced male homosexuality during the meeting, which was common among the Buddhist monks and upper class Samurai at that time.
He left Yamaguchi for Kyoto where he was rejected and returned to Yamaguchi in 1551. He finally persuaded the Oouchi to grant a permission to propagate Christianity by shelving the sexuality matters, and was given a disused Buddhist temple. It was the first permanent Christian church in Japan.
It was the heyday of the Oouchi, and Oouchi Yoshitaka even tried to make Yamaguchi the new capital of Japan by inviting the Emperor from Kyoto, which was unsuccessful and triggered the demise of the Oouchi. A few months after meeting the Jesuit mission, Oouchi was killed in a civil war, and the Oouchi was destroyed eventually.
Oouchi's territory was occupied by the Mouri based in Hiroshima. After the battle of Sekigahara between the Tokugawa and the Toyotomi in 1603, Mouri's territory was reduced to Yamaguchi only as Mouri sided with the defeated Toyotomi.
The Mouri barely survived until the Meiji Restoration in 1868.
