The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford’s museum of art and archaeology, founded in 1683. Our world famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art, telling human stories across cultures and across time.
The Ashmolean’s collections are extraordinarily diverse, representing most of the world’s great civilisations, with objects dating from 8000 BC to the present day. Among many riches we have the world’s greatest collection of Raphael drawings, the most important collection of Egyptian pre-Dynastic sculpture and ceramics outside Cairo, the only great Minoan collection in Britain, outstanding Anglo-Saxon treasures, and the foremost collection of modern Chinese painting in the Western world.
Hey there! This is my entry to The Tourney Round 1. I chose the category "Tavern". Unfortunately, I don't have my normal camera because our basement flooded, and my camera broke, so hopefully jonnylegoboy911 will have a bit of mercy while judging. :P

A Ruta del Cares, localizada no Parque Nacional dos Picos da Europa, inicia-se em Poncebos, nas Astúrias, e estende-se por cerca de 12 quilómetros até Caín, na província de Leão. Este percurso pedestre, criado entre 1915 e 1921 como parte de um canal para a central hidroelétrica de Camarmeña-Poncebos, é um exemplo notável de engenharia civil. Com 71 túneis e várias pontes, como a de Los Rebecos, a trilha apresenta-se em meio a imponentes paredes verticais de até 500 metros e uma geologia cárstica moldada pela erosão fluvial e gelivação. Embora originalmente destinada ao serviço industrial, tornou-se um popular destino de turismo de natureza, atraindo caminhantes em busca de vistas deslumbrantes e da experiência de contacto com a biodiversidade da região. O percurso é considerado de dificuldade média, exigindo precauções devido à sua estreiteza e secções expostas ao abismo, especialmente nos primeiros 2 km, que incluem a subida mais íngreme ao longo do desfiladeiro do rio Cares.
The Ruta del Cares, located in the Picos de Europa National Park, begins in Poncebos, Asturias, and stretches for about 12 kilometers to Caín, in the province of León. This walking trail, created between 1915 and 1921 as part of a canal for the Camarmeña-Poncebos hydroelectric power station, is a remarkable example of civil engineering. With 71 tunnels and several bridges, such as Los Rebecos, the trail runs between imposing vertical walls up to 500 meters high and karst geology shaped by river erosion and frost action. Although originally intended for industrial use, it has become a popular nature tourism destination, attracting hikers in search of breathtaking views and the experience of contact with the region's biodiversity. The route is considered to be of medium difficulty, requiring caution due to its narrowness and sections exposed to the abyss, especially in the first 2 km, which include the steepest climb along the Cares River gorge.
This covered courtyard is in the Biblioteca Pública Municipal José María Requena in Carmona, Spain. It is a bit distorted as it is a merge of four photos.
The first day of spring was March 20th, yet yesterday it snowed. Caught this as I was driving my son out to a friend's.
This is a restored commercial slide that was badly faded. I will gladly remove it if there are any complaints regarding copyright.
This is a tribute to Jyn Erso from "Rogue One" film, the darkest and probably the best film in Star Wars franchise.
A quote not from that movie (actually it's from "Terminator Salvation"), but it fits: "If you're listening to this, you are the Resistance."
P.S. I know this is a New Republic emblem. Sadly, I'm not sure I have Rebel Alliance emblem somewhere.

This colour-coded topographic image shows Trouvelot Crater and its surroundings on Mars.
It was created from data collected by ESA’s Mars Express on 12 October 2024 (orbit 26233) and is based on a digital terrain model of the region, from which the topography of the landscape can be derived. Lower parts of the surface are shown in blues and purples, while higher altitude regions show up in whites and reds, as indicated on the scale to the top right.
North is to the right. The ground resolution of the original image is approximately 18 m/pixel and the image is centred at about 15°N/255°E.
[Image description: A top‑down view of a colourful Martian terrain map. The surface is shaded in bright colours that represent elevation: high areas appear in pinks and reds, while lower regions fade into greens, then deep blues. Several circular impact craters are visible throughout, with their rims highlighted by the changing colours. The overall effect is a vibrant, textured landscape showing the height differences across the area.]

this one and the other with Nikiski are based off a storyline but being I only wanted one photo for my port they aren't tied into a storyline together so I didn't do matching tattoos and stuff. The basic storyline is she is a alien cyborg and aliens are attacking the country in ww2

Stars hide your fires
For these here are my desires
And I won't give them up to you this time around
And so I'll be found
With my stake stuck in the ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul
Driving home earlier today, I think I listened to the above lyrics (from Mumford and Son's "Roll Away Your Stone") a dozen times. Music, as we all know, has such power. Today I allowed one roaring, cavorting stanza to fill me up with hope, over and over and over again.
Image taken earlier this year, at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival.
This is a ~20 minute exposure taken from the balcony of the hotel. Hurricane Dean was two days away when this photo was taken. The photo was taken at around 4-5am.

This wagon is not the greatest shot (I must have been in the act of leaning or swaying when I snapped the shutter!), but the car is so nice, I thought you all would enjoy seeing her regardless.
This is not the place to loiter around for too long, both in terms of exposing the photographic equipment and one's well-being. It is quite amazing that anything grows in this area, but this tree's attempt to flourish proved to be a futile attempt, with bucket loaders constantly moving about alongside the railway line. SY 1397 stands with its air pump in operation to power the side-tipping wagon's mechanism as fly ash is discharged with the assistance of a bucket loader. In this harsh environment it is hardly surprising that 'expendable' steam traction continues to be used for such duties.

This is about as far from my house as you can get on Lake Monroe -- the far northwest shore. I've spent a lot of time lately kayaking out on the St. Johns River (of which Lake Monroe is a very, very wide part). If you could see it, my house would be on the far, far right of this photo, way off in the distance, but the frame of this shot doesn't extend that far. You definitely cannot see my house from here. Even if I had a dock like this -- which I do not -- you could not see it without a telescope.
The last time I took my small camera out with me, I got it wet. It's now sitting in a tupperware container of rice. But I can't go with no camera at all, because unless the weather is so bad that I cannot put down the paddle, I have to take at least a few photos each time I go out. Just have to. So this is an iPhone shot, all dressed up.
This was a very cloudy day -- clouds very close to the ground; it was windy, too, except in a few sheltered areas close to the shore -- like this one. That meant paddling in very shallow water, through the grasses that grow there. It was a good trade-off, because the wind and waves just a little farther out were fierce.

The fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down, during North Pole Express operations in Essex. In fact, the whistles will echo up and down the Connecticut River Valley until about 9:30 PM. In this frame, the Valley Railroad's New Haven Mikado #3025 rolls briskly past the Hadlyme flag stop, heading to North Chester with the 6:30 PM edition of the North Pole Express.
This image was captured during the Thanksgiving Day weekend of 2025, during North Pole Express operations at Connecticut's Valley Railroad. Lighting was provided by Nikon speedlights with radio triggers.
This lovely Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) butterfly not only paused long enough for me to get closer and focus, but spread its wings to bask in the sunshine for a moment.
You are not them. You are not your family. You do not have to be trapped into their footsteps or their habits. I’m so sick of being afraid of picking up the bad traits of my family. I’m so sick of being stressed because I feel like I can never impress them.
My best friend since we were two has come to church every once and a while with me growing up but this summer she gave her heart to God and she’s absolutely amazing. However, one day she came and told her Dad something exciting that happened at a youth event and his response was “You can’t believe everything you hear at church.” When she told me this she was crying, she…being a girl who has these walls that block off so many people from seeing her broken like that, was crying because of this strong amount of discouragement she felt. Aren’t your parents supposed to build you up? Like when we’re four and you painted the ugliest thing yet your mother or father had put it up on the fridge and praised you for how beautiful it was.
Then there are some of you that come from broken families, abusive families,families who do not have the same beliefs as you, or maybe you even come from a great, happy, united family yet you just feel you do not fit.
The bible says obey your parents and I am in no way telling you otherwise. But I am telling you that they…do not control who you will be. Or at least, you do not have to let them.
Growing up Ruth was my favourite book in the bible. It’s a story about a woman(Ruth) who marries into a family yet when her husband dies and her mother-in-law plans on going back to her homeland Ruth begs and pleads to go with her. She leaves her own family, her own land, perhaps even the beliefs she was raised to believe. All to follow a woman she had become so close with. Yes, they were not related by blood yet Naomi(the mother in law) loved Ruth.
“…and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and you have come to a people whom you did not know before. The LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.” Ruth 2:11,12
Ruth was blessed. And blessed. And blessed. She married a man named Boaz and bore a son named Obed who happened to be the grand father of David.
What I’m getting at here is when you watch your family and you are hurt by them you need to understand that yes, God tells us to love everyone and you should love and forgive them yet you do not have to force yourself to be like them. To believe the same things as they do. You do not have to feel discouraged like my own friend had. Because, like God did with Ruth, he can bring people into your life that will affect you and encourage you and love you. Whether they’re your relatives or not.
You are your own person and God find that so beautiful. He died so you could be free from your sins so why are you letting yourself be captive to these huge shadows your family or friends cast on you? You are not them.
So do not let them tear you down or destroy your faith or hope. Because there will always be someone else out there meant for you who believes the same and who wants to see you grow not to bottle that light.
(I'm tagging charlotte because she is wonderful and so encouraging even if she doesn't have the same beliefs. And she inspired this more than i can even explain)
This stopped me in my track on my early morning walk . i just loved the pool of light in the sea and the rays coming through the clouds . i watched this unfold and 3 fishing boats came out from behind the pool of light and seemed to over take the light approaching me . when the last boat got to me it was completely surrounded by sea gulls . all the boats were grey or white it was really a stunning moment to be here.
this is an old photo i found on my computer . i am deleting photos and thought i would post this . funny no matter how long ago something is you dont forget it . i remember this moment as if it was this morning .
all sky shots are by far my fave but there was something special here this morning and it is not a dramatic sky for sure . i always carry a camera even at this hour of the morning haha lucky i did .
lol i see a bit of dirt must have been on the lens for this shot lol
all sooc i didnt want to spoil them and i like them the way they are
This view was generated from the digital terrain model and the nadir and colour channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express. It shows a bird’s-eye view of a region inside Trouvelot Crater, and features the worn-away crater wall in the background; the dark, volcanic deposits covering the crater floor; and a light-toned mound seen sitting within these deposits.
The dark material has been shaped by wind into rippling dunes known as ‘barchan’ dunes, visible as the smaller, darker marks sweeping from bottom-left to middle-right. These dunes are characteristically crescent-shaped, and created when winds blow in one direction.
The light-toned mound can be seen to the front-middle of the frame; this feature is around 20 km long and covered in ridges and grooves. It’s thought that this mound formed in the presence of water, but the exact processes involved remain a matter of debate.
[Image description: A tilted, close-up view of a rugged Martian landscape. The surface shows steep, shadowed ridges running diagonally across the scene, with soft reddish light illuminating their tops. Below the ridges, the terrain becomes darker and smoother, marked by small round craters and patches of rough, textured ground. A pale, sandy, fan‑shaped deposit sits near the lower right, contrasting with the darker surroundings. The overall impression is of a dry, eroded, and richly textured surface shaped by ancient geological forces.]

This was an interesting and pretty sight!!!!! I was quite caught up in watching it!!!!! Hope everyone is doing well....😄
This was taken on a night shift working the 21-07 Newcastle to Heaton TMD ECS shuttles .

This image was selected as the cover photo of the group L ~ 1 MAGICOS MOMENTOS EN TU VIDA in February 2016.
This week has seen route 434 pass some pretty significant anniversaries. Yesterday, 30th August marked 20 years since the 434 first operated (at the time between Whyteleafe and Coulsdon Ridgemount Avenue) under Metrobus using blue and yellow Darts. And today also marked 10 years since Metrobus regained the 434 from Abellio on 31st August 2013 with 189-192. It only feels like yesterday that these buses were new to the 434, really can't believe a decade has flown by just like that! And there's better yet to come for the 434 with an extension to Caterham on the cards in March.
Metrobus ADL Enviro200 189 (YY13VKO) is pictured near Kenley Station on route 434.
In this new image ESA’s Mars Express visits the highlands of Mars, exploring the innumerable craters peppering this ancient part of the Red Planet. Part of the particularly prominent Trouvelot Crater can be seen to the bottom-right.
We've added labels to highlight features and regions of note. Be sure to click on these labels to explore the landscape in detail!
This image comprises data gathered by Mars Express’s High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 12 October 2024 (orbit 26233). It was created using data from the nadir channel, the field of view aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, and the colour channels of the HRSC. North is to the right. The ground resolution of the original image is approximately 18 m/pixel and the image is centred at about 15°N/255°E.
[Image description: A high‑resolution overhead view of a rocky, desert‑like landscape on Mars. The surface is mostly reddish‑brown with patches of darker blue‑grey tones. Many circular impact craters of different sizes are scattered across the scene, some with raised rims and shadowed interiors. Subtle ridges, eroded valleys, and textured terrain patterns run diagonally through the image, giving a sense of ancient geological activity. The overall impression is of a dry, rugged, and heavily cratered Martian surface.]

I like the painterly quality to this shot, though it is not sharp. These birds are year-round residents in my garden, and it is always delightful to hear their song. This was taken through my home-office window, 12x zoom, handheld. The bird was foraging for insects in the dormant Bermuda grass, which, when the sun becomes warmer and the days a little longer, will revive and turn green again.
Flickr is having a problem, and I (and many others) can't load to groups. I'll do that if/when they fix it.
I wish I could go visiting and commenting as much as I would like to, but I can't because of workload demands. Please bear with me. Thanks.
Reminder: Please do not post notes on my photo or any images in your comments unless they are germane to my shot and of thumbnail size. If you do, I will delete the comment without notification. I welcome your input, but please express yourself in text only, or provide a link to your image. Thank you.
