Two Uzbek children stand beside each other on the edge of Mirabad Farmer's Market (Mirabad Bazaar) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on July 3, 2012.

That's me and Seenyarita in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Rita had me strike some poses. Maybe (if you're unlucky) she'll upload them later for you all to see. MAYBE.
Blessed among counties, Norfolk, at the edge of England, is a destination, not a corridor, and is as yet untouched by the motorway system. Fourth in area it is 21st in population, with a quarter of its inhabitants living within eight miles of the centre of Norwich. As Pevsner points out, some parts of Norfolk are so under-populated that it is difficult to believe that you are less than a hundred miles from London.
Such are the county's architectural riches that Pevsner's coverage has always been divided between two volumes. Over a hundred churches are said to be in ruins and derelict buildings are a common sight. This ruined farmhouse ...18th century if it's a day... of which we see only the end elevation here, was encountered during a most enjoyable potter around the lanes in the southern part of the county. Away from the main roads, though it was a fine, balmy day, we hardly saw another car.
The next day I attempted to repeat the experience in a conterminous part of Cambridgeshire, in the catchment area of the M11 ...an altogether less "backward" part of the country. Traffic jams formed at the entrances to popular "garden centres". I squirmed the Bentosmobile in and out around the parked cars surrounding every village green. Leisure-crazed cyclists and walkers in hideous, violently-coloured clothing clogged the lanes. Every few yards I had to pull to the side of the road to let another car pass in the opposite direction. Always there seemed to be another car following ours at close quarters, boiling with impatience and aggression, so that it was difficult to stop and admire, or slow down and gawp about, as we like to.
My point being? Well, I have none really. I merely remark an identifiable phenomenon. Cambridgeshire and Norfolk are neighbouring counties, about equidistant from London. Yet Cambridgeshire is much more easily communicable from London than its neighbour. What are "fast transport links" but the means of spreading metropolitan ways into the hinterland? People and businesses re-locate to the provinces, thinking that a motorway or an electrified railway line will enable them to enjoy the best of both worlds ...closeness and remoteness at the same time. All that happens is that the provinces come to resemble the capital. It's all very reassuring really. Every new advantage is cancelled out by a corresponding disadvantage, and life stays the same.
Colour tweek. Three fields full of poppies have sprung up in Shepshed and are causing quite a stir locally. So I thought I had better go and take a look.

These two sculptures are on the grounds at the local art museum. They are on loan from a sculptor who made them from automobile parts, mostly bumpers I believe.

Found these two guys while I was going down an alley off Victoria Street. They just happened to be in the window while I walked by and they let me get up real close... then they flew off.

The Manueline or Portuguese late Gothic, is the sumptuous, composite Portuguese style of architectural ornamentation of the first decades of the 16th century, incorporating maritime elements and representations of the discoveries brought from the voyages of Vasco da Gama and Pedro Álvares Cabral.
This innovative style synthesizes aspects of Late Gothic architecture with influences of the Spanish Plateresque style, Italian urban architecture, and Flemish elements. It marks the transition from Late Gothic to Renaissance. The construction of churches and monasteries in Manueline was largely financed by proceeds of the lucrative spice trade with Africa and India.
The style was given its name, many years later, by Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen, Viscount of Porto Seguro, in his 1842 book, Noticia historica e descriptiva do Mosteiro de Belem, com um glossario de varios termos respectivos principalmente a architectura gothica, in his description of the Jerónimos Monastery.
Varnhagen named the style after King Manuel I, whose reign (1495–1521) coincided with its development.
The style was much influenced by the astonishing successes of the voyages of discovery of Portuguese navigators, from the coastal areas of Africa to the discovery of Brazil and the ocean routes to the Far East, drawing heavily on the style and decorations of East Indian temples.
Although the period of this style did not last long (from 1490 to 1520), it played an important part in the development of Portuguese art.
The influence of the style outlived the king. Celebrating the newly maritime power, it manifested itself in architecture (churches, monasteries, palaces, castles) and extended into other arts such as sculpture, painting, works of art made of precious metals, faience and furniture.
Pictured here is another one of 58 bronze sculptures on a bridge in Oslo's Vigeland Sculpture park. It obviously shows two men. The dominant motif among the bronze figures on the bridge is the relationship between man and woman and between adults and children. All sculptures were created before 1943 by Gustav Vigeland, Norway's most famous sculptor.
Personally, I really admired the beautiful sculptures especially of the male body of the norwegian artist that can also be found elsewhere in the park.

I was about to take a picture of the entrance to the would-be-enhanced cathedral in Siena, when I spotted this older couple heading my way. So elegantly dressesd, thy were moving with vigor in the 36C heat - as if such a stroll was an everyday occurence.
I remember a book,Two Log Crossing, as a teen, it discussed a dangerous journey in the Alaskan winter. It railed about the danger of a single log crossing over water. As if a two log crossing would not be dangerous! I think I will stay on this side of James Creek, thank you. It does not look like much of a stream but it is way overloaded now and could immediately sweep you off your feet and kill you an boulders is a few feet. I'll pass.
This shot is taken from the old Ward Road which runs just next to the tumult at places. The road is closed to motorized travel above Jamestown and is near the last habitable cabin above the closure. There are still several weeks of run off until the stream settles down. Summer in the high country often waits until July.
The canyon is steep and narrow and it seems like the winds don't reach down into the twisting canyon. I find the fly fishing is better when the drop approaches 6% and slows as the grade flattens. When encountered the Merc's Happy Hour, residents of Jamestown call the area a banana belt. I'd like to think a summer spent here would be mellow. I need to make another foray up the creek sometime soon.
Old wagons would have been in SLOW freight service on the old Ward Road where I am standing, supplying goods to the area mining camps like New Providence up ahead and Ward, on Peak-to-Peak Hwy. Recently, Phil and I could not spot the remains of New Providence on Google even though we have been there and poked around the remains.
I drove to the old mining town of Jamestown, Boulder County, Colorado and after shooting "The Merc," headed up James Creek carrying the big camera. I was on a mission to snag some shots at Jamestown. Early on I spied this scene near the creek. It is nearly surrounded by green. Originally, James Creek did not carry the water it does today. I suspect that a water diversion added water to the creek originally to run the Wano ore mill above the town. There is a second diversion a short way up the stream. It directed water around to the mill on the hillside. The old Wano mill is long gone now. A lot of this camp probably dates from after the demonitization of silver and attention returned to gold.
Thunder storms were slowly building. Jamestown has the hill in the background up to the Golden Age mine, There is one tree remaining on the hiill, left from a recent serious fire. Jamestown was an early mountain town started just after the gold rush. I wanted to look for possible scenes I have yet to discover. I opted for this scene under the coming overcast. I hoped the sky would present possibilities later. I knew I'd have some work to try to contain the range so I extracted three layers. I wandered up the creek and took some detail shots that were available,

Two of UPs classy SD40N rebuilds bring the Y-SPMP Transfer over the Robert St lift bridge and towards East Mpls.
Minutes after this was taken, the second unit had issues. The transfer had to run over to the Belt Yard and get a third SD40N so they could make the grade and trip to East Mpls.
