For caring is a breeze that blows by
And returns only when it wants to
So cry, cry little angel forever because
You can't wrap your arms around the wind
Within lie the reasons for
This tangled web we weave

This is more interesting than the daytime photo I took here a couple of years ago. It was taken during the Lumiere event. This part of the riverside is not lit, but the church interior and market square behind the houses were lit up and this made a difference. Technically it is softer in the corners , some experimenting needed to understand exactly why. HDR used because of the extremes of lighting.
This photograph was made in the middle of nowhere in a place called Patseo just of Zingznbar on the Leh–Manali Highway.
We stopped here after long drive from Manali while heading to Leh. It was a strange feeling standing there alone, knowing that there was no civilization for miles...
This water is not even ankle deep, and yet by going underwater with the GoPro you enter a completely different world that almost might be a different planet! I love that! That's why I went back for a second newt shoot and tried some video! Watch for Blanca standing there at the end, wondering what I'm doing!

Another five images taken on 22 August 2024, when I drove a long way SE of Calgary, to visit a familiar old ghost town.
This ghost town is only tiny. You can walk anywhere, right up to each building. There is usually information posted about what you are seeing. I never go inside these old structures (only the restored church), but you can look through the windows.
29 August 2024 - rain, rain and more rain yesterday. Had my heating on, too. When I went to close my kitchen blinds late in the evening, it looked like there was a thin layer of snow on my neighbours's cars!? Rain is more welcome than ever at the moment, as Calgary is yet again going through water restrictions, including indoor use. On 26 August, the first day of this second water main repair episode, Calgarians apparently were not cutting back anywhere near enough, and if this doesn't improve, Calgary is going to run out of water. Warning! Going to be 'fun' for the next few weeks. Today, 29 August, it is sunny and warmer. Apparently, snow now in the mountains, though!

On 22 August 2024, I made a long trip SE of Calgary. My destination was a small, almost-ghost town that I had visited three (?) times before. If I remember correctly, this was my fourth visit - the others were in July 2020, August 2022 and 18 September 2023.
Basically, my day was pretty much similar to the day I last went out there, on 18 September 2023, so I am going to use the description I wrote under last year's photos, with a few changes.
On 22 August 2024, the weather forecast was pretty good and turned out to be unusually correct. Sunny, blue sky, and puffy, white clouds.
Most of my driving was on the main roads, in order to get to my destination as quickly as possible. The total drive of 489 kms took me just over 9 and a half hours, between 8:35 am and 6:00 pm. Much as I would have loved to check out a few back roads, I knew I absolutely had to get home before my car ran out of gas. The only time I left the highway was to quickly keep an eye open for any Common Nighthawks - none.
Last year, the small ghost town, that I was so keen to revisit yet again, had to be seen from my car, because it was too windy to walk, which was a shame. A challenge to take photos, sitting in a car that is being rocked by the extreme wind.
Once I reached the ghost town, I was the only person there. It is only a small place with a handful of old buildings, but very nicely kept. One of its main buildings is a small, country United Church, kept in great condition both inside and out. I had read online beforehand that people can go inside the church and sign their Guest Book, otherwise I probably would not have gone in. Really like the door knobs to the front door. The link below gives a very interesting, detailed history, including an old photo of the church in 1980, before restoration. I would love to have seen it back then.

As well as the old ghost town, I also wanted to check on a favourite abandoned house - simple, old and leaning. It was a relief to find that it was still standing. When I had slowed down to take a few photos, a truck came from the opposite direction and stopped. I was delighted when the driver said she was the owner of the old house! So interesting. She gave me permission to go closer, with a warning that there are pit holes, so to be careful. I thanked her, but told her that I always take photos of old barns/houses from the road, anyway.
From there, I took more or less the same route home. Rather late in the season for wildflowers, but I was happy to spot one little cluster of Chicory growing at a road edge. Very few birds to be seen, too, apart from a few hawks, Horned Larks, and a Vesper Sparrow. Fortunately, I still had a little gas left in the gas tank. Always a concern when I do a long drive.
It was a great day. and my timing was good, as the other evening, we had a huge storm! Lots of rain, thunder, continuous lightning in all directions for quite a while. I have rarely seen a lightning storm like that.
I took this picture for the open photo assignment. I used getting close to my subject rule. i chose to take this photo because I've always liked legos ever sense i was a kid and i still do. I think the grade I deserve on this assignment is a A- because its something that I really enjoy building and taking pictures of.

This is a picture I deliberately made gray. Taken on a not sunny day, post processing reduced the already dark green even more.
The picture was taken with the Nikkor AF-S 50 mm/1.4G, to get the unsharp plant double in the background.

Evening of Day Two at Keystone 2015 had me wearing this ensemble to the bar for a last drink before retiring to take up my flickr- um... responsibilities!
This ensemble is built around this incredibly snug fitting black vinyl & red lycra spandex minidress with laser cutouts on the left side & arm that came from greatglam.com. I've matched it up with my black Platino Luxe 40 denier pantyhose worn over Hanes Alive Barely There support hose from onehanesplace.com and finished off with my black vinyl peep toe platform pumps from venus.com.

Taken through the kitchen window. I'd looked out earlier but the sun was clouded over and the peanut feeder seemed to be in darkness. Then this beautiful little Blue Tit landed on it, but of course had his back to me for ages... just as he turned around the sun came out and I had this perfect moment as he lifted his head and posed for just a millisecond :)
Have a very happy weekend everyone.... I'm off to work :( :(
Thankfully it's only until lunch time :)
Thank you everyone for the fantastic comments on my last upload and sorry again that I'm taking forever to catch up :(
Because I went outside to take pictures for myself, not for my 365. And that was a nice feeling.
Inspired by all the amazing water pictures I've seen lately. There have been too many to even attempt to put all the links in.
I may upload more from this at some point. They're all a little grainy but I got over it.
This has been a great year for monarchs, but some of the plants are quite full. I took multiple photos of this duo hoping that one would end up with both in focus in good poses.
This truck from the Republic of Macedonia was travelling down the A14 road, between Huntingdon and Cambridge. The trailer and truck was registered to the municipality of Štip (Shtip), located in the central-east of the Republic of Macedonia.

This yacht has been parked in the same spot since at least 2005, although the mast has been unstepped since then. It's not clear if it's a very slow restoration or if it's been abandoned.
This my own take on the Sazabi mobile suit from the Gundam Series. This is a hybrid of Sinanju and Sazabi as i like certain aspects of each mech. Its coming full circle since i actually started out with my mech building through gunpla and then finally being able to replicate it back in lego :D

This mountain is esentially a corner, with the bowl around the lake acting as a turn around the mountain. Off to both the left and the right of the mountain are long, wide valleys, which RAF jets often fly low along for training.
This is a stereo photo that can be viewed by crossing your eyes to overlap the two photos in the middle.

This mobbing
Not so fragile, after a very strong wind that has damaged strong buildings, and the frost...
Took this photo in Ingram street in Glasgow's merchant city
"Hi can i take a photo of you it's for a project called people of Glasgow
" I'm not from Glasgow"
"That's okay where you from?"
"I'm from Greece"
"How long have you been in Glasgow?"
" A few months, I am working here and i love Glasgow it is such a vibrant city. I'm sure your project will do well since Glasgow is so friendly"

This picture was taken at a Christmas party that my husband and I went to on December 6, 2018. This is at the Kitalou Gin just east of Lubbock. This is an old cotton gin that is now an event center that is used for weddings and parties.
This working from Lavant Quarry in West Sussex to Drayton (to the east of Chichester) was the primary reason for an interest in rail freight operations for me that has lasted (to date) getting on for 28 years. This was such an idiosyncratic working, with the unique Tarmac (formally Francis aggregates) side discharge wagons hauled by a class 73 (or occasionally a class 33) on a 5 mile trip several times a day. The afternoon trip is pictured leaving the quarry in November 1987 with the usual load of gravel. At Drayton the wagon side doors were activated by the application of compressed air and the load discharged into a lagoon, where the gravel parted company with the associated clay, and the clean gravel was recovered simply by dredging using a mechanical excavator. I had many trips to the quarry and even had a ride up the branch once on this service.
Today everything has gone and the track bed is a cycle path. Happy memories indeed
I for some reason really like this one not sure way though.
I am getting into the whole 20s to 40s period its was such a nice time for fashion up until the war years of course when things got a little plain. mind you those troubled years then led to the explosion known as the 50s and we all love those styles don't we
This castle owes it's current decor due to the work of one man who renovated and expanded the building during the 19th century.
The building can be traced back to the Roman periods. It is reported that in 780 Charlemagne could have passed by the place on his way back from Rome, where he went to have his son baptized by the Pope.
In the 1970’s from the 20th century the castle was transformed into a hotel, only to close its doors in the 1990’s. The castle remains unused to this day.
The castle is built in different styles; including Moorish and Indian. It has 365 rooms and every room has a different theme.

This will be my last upload for a few days as I've now run out of new stuff! Plus we're away this weekend, and the forecast isn't that great so it might be a while before I'm able to upload anything new. But I shall keep looking at all your lovely shots and leaving some comments.
So it was out into my back garden as the little pink weed is back again! This was taken using my nifty fifty and the good old Raynox DCR250 and my homemade flash diffuser :-)
Thanks for taking the time to visit. Any comments or faves are appreciated
This is Kirkhill Castle in the small village of Colmonell, in the Stinchar valley of south Ayrshire. Although long roofless, it still stands fairly complete to its wallhead, next to the more modern house that superseded it. There was nobody home when I visited, although I could hear the sounds of lawn mowing coming from the garden behind, so I took a couple of photos from the drive, which show most of what there is to see, and went on my way.
... for my 82nd year on this planet, and there's not a damned thing I can do about it. And on top of all that, I hear the last thing to die when you go is your hearing....Damn! I'm screwed again. I gotta remember to tell Sherry to be sure I have my hearing aids in during those last days. I don't want to miss a damned thing.
This year appears to be especially good for this both of our regular Grosbeak species. (The other one is the Evening). They typically have a brood from 3 to 4 chicks. Both parents help with the family chores. At this time of year both juvie sexes look more like Mom than Dad. Based on the dark head streaks this one is likely a first-year male. The females' are noticeably lighter. As this guy ages, the stripes will fill in to present a solid black head. Females' heads remain striped.

This elephant was inspired by to Latvian artists - artist and poet Māris Subačs who's famous with his book illustrations ej.uz/iwco and one of the music bands in Latvia called Instrumenti www.instrumenti.in/ and their sond "Pilnīgi viens" which translated in English is "absolutely alone".

Otherwise this is the same technique - baking twice and filling scratched places with clay.
This is Moses Cone and his wife Bertha's home in Blowing Rock, NC. Moses Cone was an entrepreneur, philanthropist and conservationist who manufactured textiles at his facility in Greensboro.
Flat Top Manor was built at the turn of the century in the Victorian Neo-Classical Style. Building materials including the gaslights, telephone and central heating system had to be hauled 20 miles from Lenoir, NC by horse drawn wagons. The house cost $25,000 to build at a time when $200 was the median for a habitable structure. The country estate comprises 23 rooms and 13,000 square feet with leaded glasses windows and dormers and a single lane bowling alley.
Moses Cone did not get to enjoy his country retreat very long. In 1908 he died, 7 years after the home was completed. His wife outlived him by 39 years and upon her death in 1947 the estate was bequeathed to the Moses Cone Hospital who then later turned it over to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is now a national heritage site and the most visited along the expanse of scenic roadway.
There are 25 miles of carriage roads throughout the grounds, plus hiking trails, 2 man-made lakes and apple orchards. It sits at milepost 294 along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This eagle made so many low passes over my head that I finally began to think it was showing off its spectacular plumage design. The encounter took place on a private estancia in Chilean Patagonia.
This little raccoon comes every night all by himself, I guess he is now on his own. He loves to put his food in the water as you can see!!

This Towhee was quite the aggressor and fought with a male Cardinal. I don't know that I have seen such interspecies fighting before. The Towhee was the clear victor. It confirms my belief that sparrows rule! :)
This is a panorama of Joshua Tree National Park at Night, in an attempt to capture to feel of the park at night. This is a panorama of 8 combined horizintal images, taken with a Canon 1Dx camera, and a Nikon 14-24 mm lens at 14 mm, f 2.8, 25 sec. exposures and ISO 6400. there are 2 small lights hidden among the rocks and a larger light approx. 40 - 50 meters to my right. There a a considerable amount of light pollution around Joshua Tree. This creates aa background ambient light so the park does not seem "pitch black", and actually helps to light the foreground somewhat. This ambient light is a very "flat" light however, and does not create a very pleasing look. The added lights create shadows and create some depth to the photo.
Thanks for looking. All comments are appreciated. Hope you enjoy!
