A Zambian coin which I found in my coin box which took me a while to find. I have never been to Zambia and I am not sure how I came to have this coin. I thought it was pretty with the antelope on it. When I googled the value (very low) it seems 20 Ngwee don't get issued now.
I find the image looks like I placed the coin on vinyl but it's in a glass, lit by a torch while I held the phone over it.
Seen from the deck, the sun musters its strength against yet another morning of -20 (-30C) temperatures, a common occurrence since early December. If it appears that its efforts are waning somewhat, I agree..and who can blame it? "It seems like years..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=CffNTvoa3CU
This came together well for me. Two Fiat cars and an Italian cycle (on the right) a Bianchi in it's famous shade of Celeste - a pale sky blue - captured on the road speed marking.

John Clare
Up flies the bouncing woodcock from the brig
Where a black quagmire quakes beneath the tread
The fieldfare chatter in the whistling thorn
And for the awe round fields and closen rove
And coy bumbarrels, twenty in a drove
Flit down the hedgerows in the frozen plain
And hang on little twigs and start again

Twenty years have passed, and the echoes of our loss remain a haunting reminder of how so fragile our world, our lives, our feelings can be. We came together as family, as friends, as loved ones would often do. What a sight for us all to see. Standing here today, a fractured world and left wondering what it all really means for you and me. It’s not just an American thing, it’s a people thing that clashes. Just remember we are all human, with just a few scratches……

Das Five Boats ist ein Bürogebäude im Innenhafen von Duisburg direkt an der Buckelbrücke und dem Hitachi Power Office.
Das 2004 fertiggestellte, siebenstöckige Bürogebäude wurde vom Stardesigner Sir Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners aus London entworfen, die Detailplanung stammt vom deutschen Architekturbüro Bahl und Partner, die Projektleitung hatte die Kölbl Kruse GmbH, die Bauausführung stammt von der Bilfinger Berger AG, die Baukosten betrugen 50 Millionen Euro. Vorgabe war möglichst vielen Büros eine Anbindung an das Wasser zu ermöglichen. Durch die ovale Form der fünf einzelnen Bootskörper und die Auffächerung nebeneinander haben fast alle Büros einen Ausblick auf den Innenhafen bzw. die Innenstadt von Duisburg. Die 35 Büroetagen sind alle identisch geschnitten und modular aufgebaut, sodass eine sehr flexible Nutzung möglich ist. In den hinteren, nur sechsgeschossigen Quertrakten sind die Technik- und Versorgungsräume untergebracht. Die gesamte Bürofläche beträgt 22.000 m². Mieter ist die Betriebskrankenkasse Novitas BKK.
Im Erdgeschoss sind Einzelhandelsgeschäfte und Gastronomie auf 1.500 m² untergebracht. Im Untergeschoss befinden sich 175 Tiefgaragenstellplätze.
Nachts erleuchten die vier hinteren Quertrakte mittels LED-Technik in unterschiedlichen Farben und strahlen die Wellaluminiumflächen der Bootskörper an. Die insgesamt 660 m² großen Beleuchtungsfläche wurde pro Verbindungstrakt in zwanzig Felder aufgeteilt, deren Farbverläufe oder Lichtstimmungen frei programmiert werden können. Das Lichtkonzept entwickelte die spectral Gesellschaft für Lichttechnik mbH.
The Five Boats is an office building in the inner harbor of Duisburg directly at the Buckelbrücke and the Hitachi Power Office.
The seven-storey office building, completed in 2004, was designed by the star designer Sir Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners from London, the detailed planning came from the German architects Bahl und Partner, the project was managed by Kölbl Kruse GmbH, the construction work came from Bilfinger Berger AG, the construction costs amounted to 50 million Euro. The requirement was to enable as many offices as possible to be connected to the water. Due to the oval shape of the five individual hulls and the fact that they are spread out next to each other, almost all offices have a view of the inner harbor or the city center of Duisburg. The 35 office floors all have an identical layout and are modular in structure, so that they can be used very flexibly. The technical and supply rooms are housed in the rear transverse wings, which are only six stories high. The total office space is 22,000 m². The tenant is the company health insurance company Novitas BKK.
Retail shops and restaurants are located on the ground floor on 1,500 m². There are 175 underground parking spaces in the basement.
At night, the four rear transverse wings are illuminated in different colors using LED technology and illuminate the corrugated aluminum surfaces of the hull. The total of 660 m² of lighting area was divided into twenty fields per connecting tract, whose color gradients or lighting moods can be freely programmed. The lighting concept was developed by spectral Gesellschaft für Lichttechnik mbH.
Red-eared Sliders. Like alligators, a bird photographer in SE Texas cannot avoid turtles. Riverstone Wetlands, Sugar Land, Texas.
Twenty pairs of giant redwoods planted in 1863. More than 50 metres tall with girths between 5m and 7m, at the entrance of Benmore Botanic Garden, Argyll, Scotland. They are among the oldest redwoods in Europe.
What a treat! But really hard to do them justice for an amateur photographer like me!
Macugnaga. Italy.
This ridge divides, or probably I should say connects, the two ranges of mountains that I love the most, those of the basin of the Sesia river and those of the basin around the great Toce river.
Shot taken from Turlo pass, (little door pass),
In the past, I crossed several passes above this ridge and even climbed a few summits, but It has been a very long time since I visited Turlo. Maybe more than twenty years. It is a pleasure to get back to a place and find that nothing has changed. It is like your memories could shine brighter, at least for the brief time you spend in the place that creates that sort of magic.
Probably, it is a pleasure that those who started to hike and climb mountains when they were very young have felt several times.

Hello my friends!
Today I spent some time taking photos at "São Bernardo" lake. Yonder is a very beautiful place, and the weather is extremely pleasant. I Returned home feeling very good, because it's a very peaceful and harmonious place.
In addition, there are twenty-eight new photos on my personal stock. :)
I hope you enjoy this one.
Have a wonderful week!

The former Illinois Central Gulf 2030 makes a trip down to the dock at Port Inland with a train of side-dumpers loaded with limestone. There may only be one public crossing on this mysterious little railroad, but they sure are neat to watch.

I've always thought the US Currency needed some colour, so I gave Mr. Jackson some. I painted this in Photoshop Elements 2022. Thanks to You All For The Wonderful Comments and Encouragement!

It took a public campaign to convince the authorities that the introduction of a speed limit on High Street was a necessity. Most drivers respect the new regulation, some don't. There is no police station in our village. "Common sense" is probably the method preferred to deal with problems here. It works most of the time. Leica M Mono, Voigtlander AS 2.2/50.
