To all my American friends celebrating Thanksgiving today and to all my other Flickr friends around the world, I wish you all love and health today and every day. May you always have much to be thankful for.
Do me a favor and express your greetings in text, not in images. Thanks for understanding my peculiar preference.
A special blessing right now is we're getting some rain, but it's accompanied by thunder so as soon as I post this, I'm shutting down and unplugging. Have a beautiful day.

seek first to understand, then to be understood...
Stephen Covey
i've found myself contemplating the many aspects and problems of communication lately, both verbal and written. Communication is the main artery in which to connect with another human being, which is in itself, innate...and what we desire and fear the most.
To speak and be spoken to...to hear and be heard. The latter is so much harder to do...

My train ride to Oxford, where I would be teaching on the Understanding Historic Buildings course for Historic, was going well until we got to Warwick. Here we were held at a red light, the train half in and half out of the station. We were told this was due to a defective track. I sketched the view from the train, not knowing at the outset that we would be stuck for 68 minutes. Once we got moving again I saw that this is only a small part of an immense factory. Baxi manufacture domestic heating boilers. The delay means I will be able to claim compensation for the late arrival in Oxford, though I was still able to join the course in time for a cup of tea and piece of cake.

“Life Underground” is a permanent public artwork created in 2001 by American sculptor Tom Otterness for the 14th Street - Eighth Avenue station of the NYC Subway. The installation is a series of whimsical miniature bronze sculptures depicting cartoon like characters showing people and animals in various situations, and additional abstract sculptures, which are dispersed throughout the station platforms and passageways. The sculptor said the subject of the work is "the impossibility of understanding life in New York” and describes the arrangement of the individual pieces as being “scattered in little surprises”
It’s his philosophy not to cause disturbance with a big team, so he often travels alone to photograph. Vincent practises respect and patience in photography, through learning about and understanding the animals and their behaviour in immense detail.

MKSG The X-Men: Survival - Issue #5
Boston, Massachusetts - 3 Days Ago
“Sean! Grab your sh*t, we’re leaving! 1 minute!” Tom shouts as he storms through the door of the Cassidy house, leaving his car half-parked and still running on the driveway.
Sitting up quickly from the couch, “What do you mean?!” Sean Cassidy questions woefully.
“I mean that they’ve found us, and that means we have to leave, now!” Tom snaps at his younger brother as he rushes upstairs.
Understanding exactly what this means, Sean reacts quickly. His homework will have to wait. He’s going on the run. It was only a matter of time until someone found out that he and his brother were mutants, and the time seemed to have come. He raced upstairs, slid into his room and yanked the backpack from under his bed that he’d had packed for the last 12 months. He runs back downstairs and out the door.
“Where are we headed?” the 14 year old asks his older brother, quizzically.
X-Mansion Lawn - Today
“Help me!!” yells Sean, desperate and afraid. Once they’d got his brother Tom, he started towards the only place he could think of: Xavier’s School for Gifted Mutants. His mother’s friend, who he always called Aunt Moira, had told him if he was ever in any trouble, to come here, and the people here would help him.
“Help! Please!!” he yelps. Hot on his heel - a military-style truck following him up the lawn, filled with ‘Purifiers’. Mutant-hunters for hire. Ruthless and terrifying, with their thoughts poisoned by bigoted TV personalities such as William Stryker, spreading mutant-hatred and fear.
Sean realises there is no way that he can outrun the truck before he gets to the grand mansion itself. Putting on a brave face, he does the only thing he can do: try to stand his ground.
He stops running and tries to turn around and face his oppressors, but his knees are weak and give way. He still has one trick up his sleeve though…
The truck pulls up, about 20 feet away. He’s feeling faint and almost breathless, but he doesn’t hesitate to defend himself.
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeEEE!”
He screams with his sonic abilities! The forceful blast flips the truck sideways several times and the Purifiers inside shout in dismay as they are tosses around violently. The truck lands back on it’s 6 wheels and several of the soldiers pile out, a couple throwing up.
Then, behind him, he hears an unfamiliar sound
BAMF!
He looks behind him in desperation to see 4 colourful figures, all with an X logo on their belt.
‘It’s the X-Men!’
The Purifier soldiers from the truck scramble and flee in all different directions from the X-Men. Storm flies up above the lawn and hovers on the winds she can control. Her eyes turn white and the skies quickly turn from blue to a dark, cloudy grey. With great might, she summons down a powerful lightning bolt. It strikes the overturned truck and then, KABBOOM! It explodes into a million pieces.
One of the doors from the truck hurtles towards him, flaming and fast. Sean covers his head with his hands as he feels the intense warmth from Cyclops’ optic beam over him, hearing the PZZZRKKTT! of it as it slices the door in half, so the pieces land either side of the team.
Sean reveals himself from under his arms to see Iceman covering the flaming wreck with snow and ice. Storm stands over him, and offers Sean a hand up. He goes to accept and pull himself up, but he’s so exhausted. Sean gently collapses onto the green grass of Xavier’s Mansion, home to the X-Men.
Instead, planning ahead let Friendship Fred
know where you stand in your business wonderland
Find associates of all kinds
Understanding Ulysses’ are nice
Caring Carl's never take it too far
Kevin Kindness melts cold ice fast.
But, I may think twice if I put Friendship and the front of the line
In the end, you will not look like an ass.

Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are visiting Car Parks. Car parks can be a bit dull, and this was a quiet day at our local country store, so I used PS Elements to add interest.
The Kingsbury-Humber discharge tanks, as you can plainly see with a Shed up front and not a Tug, crosses the River Witham, giving a somewhat fuzzy reflection as it does so.
Later on, and I must point out that I've only just found this out, the Colas Rectory Junction which RTT said was cancelled, ran. This is now becoming horribly obvious to me, a very difficult train to photograph. Of the three times I've headed out in this direction, twice it has not run due to whatever problem and this last time I drove off fully understanding it had been cancelled and as already pointed out, it ran. At the precise moment it crossed where this shot was taken, I was stuck in traffic heading for the A46. My horoscope said nothing about this in my future, not a single sausage... Mystic Meg, I need help! The stars WILL align one of these days.
If anyone fancies meeting up in Lincoln to track this damn train down, let me know.
Ex oil, and water I guess.
A comfortable study bedroom in the Ruth Deech building, in a modern block at St Anne's College, completed in 2005, while I am teaching on the Understanding Historic Buildings course organised by Historic England. Lit by by a very narrow window on the left, now equipped with a roller blind which prevents it being opened , and a door onto a balcony barely large enough to stand on.
Understanding Sunday: Pentacon 29mm / 2.8 MC Auto (M42)
PENTACON auto MC 29mm f/2.8
Pentacon 29/2.8 comes in a straight line from the Meyer Optik Görlitz Orestegon 29mm f/2.8. Produced in the years 1970/1991. During this period changed several times. Initially, a copy of the version of Meyer Orestegon 29mm f/2.8, then the electric version, and in the end version of the MC - There are also non-electric versions of the MC. It is a wide-angle lens with a very good f/2.8. Version of what I test is one of the last what was produced. Great multilayer coatings MC. The quality of workmanship as good as the old lenses Meyer. The lens has only 6 aperture blades. In a digital camera to take pictures with this lens requires a lot of attention already. Pictures are not sharp - just above f/11 we can talk longer with acceptable results. All the magic of color lenses Meyer here almost disappeared. You have to make an effort for it to have a picture in itself is a beautiful thing.

I am so blessed I have a freedom of choice. I can choose my route to work, I can choose in which direction I want to explore the forest the other day, I can choose what to read and what to percept, I can choose whom I want to be. Million of things can a person choose. Life is wonderful in its every single second. I hope I will never loose this wonderful feeling of the new life understanding.
I was surprised and delighted to find this rotating and illuminated sign displaying the word "Understanding" on Ophelia Beach on the Copenhagen Waterfront. I think it disappeared at the time of the European Football Championships in the following summer, but it was great to see it while it was there….

OK, this was accidental, not set up . I was playing with low light shots. When I saw this one it meant something to me :o)
The Water Gardens in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. This is the "Quiet Pool" and the sound of the water quietly running down the walls of this place totally blocked the sounds of the city above completely out!

Coming up will be the two-year anniversary of me getting my first 10-stop filter for long exposure photography. It might not seem like a big deal, but my photography has drastically changed since delving into ultra-long exposure photography. I'm able to capture dream-like sunsets with sweeping cloud formations and interesting mixes of color. My understanding of taking advantage of light has improved too.
Since my editing style has changed quite a bit over the last two years as well, I went back to my very first 10-stop filter shot, taken at Shelburne Farms.

Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!
This morning, a gentle breeze stirred as intermittent sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the landscape. Understanding the importance of sunlight in nature photography, I attached the NikonTC14EII Teleconverter to my Nikkor500mm lens, eager to capture close-up shots, particularly of the industrious robins as they hurriedly built their nests. With the impending responsibilities of egg guarding and shared nutrition looming, these days were crucial for the avian community amidst the ongoing climate crisis.
As I entered Bradgate Park, my attention was immediately drawn to a jackdaw meticulously collecting nest materials. Further along, although the green woodpecker pair remained distant, I seized the opportunity to capture a rare moment of them side by side. Beyond the breeding season, these woodpeckers are solitary feeders, making the encounter all the more special.
After a rewarding three-hour excursion, on my way back to the car, I chanced upon a little egret. Concealing myself, I observed as it skillfully hunted amidst the flowing waters of the River Lin. With deft movements, it startled small fish, seizing its prey with precision before swallowing.
However, my primary focus for the morning was the beloved robin. Patiently, I watched the pair as they foraged, allowing them to acclimate to my presence. Finally, capturing one of their favorite poses beneath a "KEEP CLEAR" sign, I immortalized the moment with three captivating photographs.
With that, I conclude my nearly four-hour journey, sharing with you the highlights of my photo tour.
Jackdaws - scientifically known as Corvus monedula, are small, intelligent birds belonging to the corvid family, which also includes crows, ravens, and magpies. These birds are native to Europe, western Asia, and parts of North Africa. They are easily recognizable by their striking black plumage, pale gray nape, and distinctive gray eyes.
Jackdaws are highly adaptable birds, commonly found in a variety of habitats including woodlands, farmlands, urban areas, and coastal cliffs. They are opportunistic feeders, consuming a diverse diet that includes insects, small mammals, seeds, fruits, and scraps of human food.
Known for their sociable nature, Jackdaws often form tight-knit groups or pairs, displaying complex social behaviors and vocalizations. They are also renowned for their intelligence, with studies showing their ability to solve problems and use tools in captivity.
During the breeding season, Jackdaws build nests in cavities of trees, cliffs, or man-made structures such as chimneys and buildings. They line their nests with soft materials such as grass, feathers, and moss. Jackdaws typically lay clutches of 4-6 eggs, which are incubated by both parents for around 17-18 days.
Overall, Jackdaws are fascinating and adaptable birds, playing important roles in ecosystems and capturing the interest of birdwatchers and researchers alike."
I hope you'll enjoy the my images as much as I enjoyed taking them.

This HYBYCOZO sculpture is titled Point of View is in the Kitchell Family Heritage Garden.
Point of View 2022
Stainless Steel, Powder Coat Pigment, LED
This sculpture's patterns draw inspiration from Ukrainian cross-stitching, a traditional folk art from Ukraine, the birthplace of HYBYCOZO artist Yelena Flipchuk. This tribute to her cultural origins invites visitors to reflect on grief, resilience, joy, and the yearning for peace.
Please spin artwork gently.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."
