Ezt a remek, könnyű, üde, és kellemesen szénsavas portugál Mateus rosé bort most Londonból hoztam, de még Kanadából ismerem, ahol 8$ körüli árral a legolcsóbb borok között volt (Londonban is kb. ennyibe került, de Kanadában a magas adók miatt ennél szinte csak drágább borok voltak), és én kellemes íze miatt sokszor vettem belőle.
I bought this light and nice Portugese rose wine in London two weeks ago, but I had known it in Toronto where at $8 this was amongst the least expensive wines.
My former wife and I got cozy for this photograph on top of Cowels Mountain yesterday evening. It was a very peaceful hike.

This weeks contribution to Monochromia blog.
These two are without any doubt my favourite subjects in Frognerpaken. They are just so touchingly human. These two strike a deep seated chord in me. I have many shots of these two dating back to the mid eighties. I’ve tried to capture what they mean to me ,and I fall short each time They don’t age,which means I’ve got plenty of chances yet,and they are always fun to meet again.
These are two brothers who are also partners in their Poultry business. They sell their chicken in this open roadside market. I took a candid shot of them from a bit of a distance initially and was planning to move along. They noticed it and requested that I take a posed shot of them together.

....and then I'm through....And soon they will be through. But it's such fun lining them up and taking pictures of them while they last!
NO INVITES OR ICONS PLEASE
This shot and the one next to it show a pinkish Gliophorus lilacipes in front of a yellow Hygrocybe cerinolutea, photographed a few days apart
My space ... amusing myself after an afternoon of jury duty sitting on a hard bench waiting and waiting to not be selected.
Two mallard ducks isolated from their group break up the horizontal layers created by the light on the gentle waves - Courtenay Estuary at 3:08. So today mid-afternoon is my favourite time of the day - when I get a chance to walk along the estuary. ODC - my favourite time of day.
"It would be great if you could bring some Lego cars in to show the kids how cars are built."
"ok, when?"
"How about in two days time?"
"Oh. Ok" - Yikes!!
I better get cracking then.
Temples of Talakad, Karnataka, India
The Group of temples at Talakad, located about 45 km south-east of the culturally important city of Mysore in the Karnataka state of India are ancient Hindu temples built by multiple South Indian dynasties. Archaeological excavations of the sand dunes at Talakad (or Talakadu) have shown the existence of several ruined temples built during the rule of the Western Ganga dynasty (c.345-999). However, according to historian I. K. Sarma, only two temples, the Pataleshvara (also spelt Patalesvara) and Maraleshvara (also spelt Maralesvara), built during the reign of King Rachamalla Satyavakya IV (r.975-986) are intact. According to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the Vaidyeshvara temple (also spelt Vaidyesvara), the largest, the most intact and ornate of the group bears Ganga-Chola-Hoysala architectural features. Its consecration is assignable to the 10th century with improvements made up to the 14th century. According to the art historian Adam Hardy, the Kirtinarayana temple (also spelt Keertinarayana) was built in 1117 A.D. by the famous Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana to celebrate his victory over the Cholas in the battle of Talakad. It has currently been dismantled by the ASI for renovation. Only its mahadwara ("grand entrance") is intact. The Sand dunes of Talakad are protected by the Karnataka state division of the ASI. The Vaidyeshvara and Kirtinarayana temples are protected as monuments of national importance by the central Archaeological Survey of India.
Bud Granley and Ross Granley, a father and son duo, fly their aircraft, a Yakovlev Yak-55 (smaller red aircraft), and a Yakovlev Yak-18T (larger white and red aircraft) respectively, in the Canadian Arctic Aviation Tour over Whitehorse Yukon. These two Russian built planes are very strong and very aerobatic. The Granleys put them through some incredible manoeuvres, flying both in and out of formation.
... but only one comes out. This is the only rule of Thunderdome!" *laughs*
They both did great jobs at showing the extreme opposites of the fairy spectrum.
IMHO, my money would be on the pink/purple fairy. They can be vicious. ;-)
In a city that prides itself on stunning coffee, this convenience store coffee is almost a sin to drink.

Wotton House is a hotel, training centre and former country house in Wotton near Dorking, Surrey, England. Originally the centre of the Wotton Estate and the seat of the Evelyn family, it was the birthplace in 1620 of diarist and landscape gardener John Evelyn, who built the first Italian garden in England there.
Construction
The house was built in the early 17th century by the Evelyn family who extended it in the later 17th century. In the 18th century it was extended eastwards by William Kent. Further extensions and alterations were made in the early 19th century by Francis Edwards. Following a fire in the 1870s the house was restored and enlarged by Henry Woodyer for William John Evelyn in 1877.[2]
Its architectural features include distinctive terracotta decorations on brickwork, octagonal turrets and stacks, winged gryphons on the porch, and plaster wall panels by Kent painted in Chinese style by Belgian Jean Derraux.[2] The old orangery (now the centre's bar[3]), has a decorative parapet and banded piers. Many of the doors feature small paintings above them
The estate
Wotton House, rear view showing terraced gardens, 2003
John Evelyn (1620–1706) and his elder brother George created the first Italian garden in England. Work on it started in 1643, was completed by 1652,[1] and it is the house's most famous feature.[2] The grounds are unusually highly listed as Grade II* and have two grottoes close to the house.[2][4][5][6]
The River Tillingbourne flows through the estate, which had its own mill at one time. The mill was originally used for the manufacture off gunpowder, a major source of the family's fortune. Later the mill was adapted for use as a wire-works and copper mill
Notable residents
Wotton House was the family seat of the Evelyn Family. John Evelyn, a diarist, landscape designer and collector, was born in a room still in existence there. He inherited the house and estates on the death of his brother George in 1699.[2]
The descendants who inherited the house in turn included Conservative politician William John Evelyn (1822-1908), who was elected MP for Western Surrey from 1849 until 1857 and became MP for Deptford in 1885 until resigning in 1888.
Post-war use
Between 1947 and 1981 the house was leased to the Home Office and used as the Fire Service College.[8][9]
Grade II* listed status was given to the garden in 1984, and the house and its two garden grottoes became Grade II* listed in 1987.[10]

In 2003, having been fully refurbished following a period of relative neglect, Wotton House was re-opened as a hotel, wedding venue, training and conference centre.[11][2][10][3] The property is currently owned and run by the Principal Hayley Group. wikipedia

A bookshelf with Apple literature is visible in the background. One of Cybiko handhelds is out of the focus. PHOTO CREDIT SHOULD READ: Valeriya Golubenko / 30pin.
