71000 the unique Riddles 'Duke of Gloucester' is seen near Lichfield in 1957. The rather grubby headboard is for "The Mid-day Scot"
71000 was a Riddles designed 4-6-2 locomotive, it entered service new to Crewe North 22/05/1954. The locomotive was withdrawn 24/11/1962 and was sent for cutting to Woodham's yard at Barry. It languished there for several years but eventually left for preservation, it is currently being prepared for another period of use.

A striking, high-contrast image of zebra succulents (Haworthiopsis attenuata) showcasing their pointed leaves and unique striped patterns in dramatic lighting. This artistic close-up captures the intricate details and bold textures of the succulent, creating an intense and almost surreal effect.
Unique model created for a rich man from Milan in 1947-48. The car only has 848km on the clock since new, and always remained in the same family.
As I was out in our backyard setting up to capture a full moon image, I turned around and this view popped! Had fun playing with this capture! The edit I came up with is of our chiminea that we fire up quite often.

Primula vulgaris, the common primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa, and parts of southwest Asia. The common name is primrose, or occasionally common primrose or English primrose to distinguish it from other Primula species also called primroses. None of these are closely related to the evening primroses (genus Oenothera). Primula vulgaris is a perennial growing 10–30 cm tall, with a basal rosette of leaves which are more-or-less evergreen in favoured habitats. It flowers in early spring in the northern hemisphere (February–April) on slopes and meadows. The leaves are 5–25 cm long and 2–6 cm broad, often heavily wrinkled, with an irregularly crenate to dentate margin. The leaf blade is gradually attenuated towards the base and unevenly toothed. The single stem, extremely short, is hidden in the centre of the leaf rosette. The delicately scented flowers are 2–4 cm in diameter, borne singly on short slender stems. The flowers are typically pale yellow, though white or pink forms are often seen in nature. The flowers are actinomorphic with a superior ovary which later forms a capsule opening by valves to release the small black seeds. The native range of P. vulgaris encompasses western and southern Europe. In the north, the distribution area extends from central Norway near the Faroe Islands via the British Isles, Denmark, northern Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France to southern Portugal in the south and the tip of North Africa in Algeria. To the east, the range extends through the southern European peninsulas to the Crimea, Balkans, Syria, Turkey and Armenia. S10N_220

Groninger Museum
Iconisch
Het Groninger Museum is een unieke mix van verschillende stijlen en materialen, die samen een iconisch en herkenbaar gebouw vormen in de stad Groningen. Het opvallende gebouw werd ontworpen door de Italiaanse architect Alessandro Mendini, in samenwerking met onder andere de architecten Philippe Starck en Coop Himmelb(l)au.
Paviljoens
Het gebouw heeft een unieke architectuur met 3 aparte paviljoens verbonden door een centraal atrium. Elk paviljoen heeft zijn eigen vorm en materiaalgebruik, waardoor het een kleurrijke en dynamische uitstraling heeft. Het westelijke paviljoen heeft bijvoorbeeld een opvallende gele kleur door de keramische tegels, terwijl het oostelijke paviljoen een meer organische vorm heeft en bekleed is met gepolijst roestvrij staal
The Groninger Museum is an iconic building known for its striking, multi-architectural design, which opened in 1994. The museum's architecture consists of three main pavilions designed by different architects: Alessandro Mendini designed the central, golden-towered part; Philippe Starck designed a silver, cylindrical building; and Coop Himmelb(l)au created a pale blue deconstructivist space.

Hotel Copernicus - a historic building presently housing a 29-room hotel with two apartments. Copernicus Hotel is located on Kanonicza, the city’s oldest street. For centuries, this building was a part of the cathedral chapel and hosted the intellectual and financial elite of Krakow. It owes its name to the famous Polish astronomer Nicolas Copernicus, who was one of the guests of the house. He, too, must have admired the precious polychrome paintings and inscriptions dating from 1500 and, in the evening, the flaming sunsets that seem to set the city alight.

Sunrise, light hits Grandfather clock, I usually leave the blinds to protect it's wood. Not this morning. Sunbeams hit brass pendulum and flash as it swings. Seen before, but today instead of my eyes, the flash angle hits a small lamp sitting metres away. This in turn casts a light golden shadow once every second onto the wall. Boring? Just a bit of fun catching it, manual focus, 20th of a second. Click on the Nikon link for exif info.

We loved this zany show and the performers were quite astonishing. A very different side to Siem Reap but a must-do trip if you ever come to town to see the temples
A unique and rare specimen, wreath flowers, (lechenaultia macrantha,) only grow in three or four parts of the world and usually only in small patches. Here they are photographed north of the small town of Pindar, one of the few places in which they are found, growing on the roadside for a stretch of about 100 meters. Many people drive the distance to view them in their annual flowering period between August and October.
"God Himself, the Unique VIII" (Part Four) | Introduction
Almighty God says, "God’s supply of all things is sufficient to show that God is the source of life for all things, because He is the source of supply that has enabled all things to exist, live, reproduce, and continue on. Apart from God there is no other. He supplies all needs of all things and all needs of mankind, regardless of whether it is the most basic needs, what people need daily, or the supply of the truth to people’s spirits. From all perspectives, when it comes to God’s identity and His status for mankind, only God Himself is the source of life for all things. This is absolutely certain."

Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty God was created because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of the Lord Jesus, Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God personally and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.

The Waterkeringpad is a walking route between Amsterdam Central Station and Huizen and consists of eight sections. Check all sections here and information. The route follows the dike along the former Zuiderzee now the IJ Lake and the Gooimeer. A unique experience, walking on the dike! Before 1500 the Diemerzeedijk between Maxis and Muiden was made from clay and construction waste. From mid-fifteenth century, the old sea wall was a retaining wall of wooden poles. Between 1732 and 1744 it was replaced by a stone slope which could better absorb the powerful waves. The Waterkeringpad is a 36 kilometer long trail. We are walking section no.6 from Naarden to Oud Valkeveen. Between Laren and Huizen is the nature reserve Naarder Eng located. Here ends the Utrechtse Heuvelrug at the former Zuiderzee. The Naarder Eng is known as the best preserved arable land. There is much to discover. The fields grow cornflower, corn-cockle, field pansy, chamomile, poppy small, snapdragon and flax beak. Between the arable land is a Oak tree forest. That oak is used among other things used as firewood in smokehouses. Observe the edge well since the deer and rabbits are frequent here. The fungus is found on dead branches and stumps, almost exclusively of deciduous trees. In the water, the grass snake sometimes seen. Waterfowl are abundant. From the Eukenberg and Aalberg you can look far beyond the Gooimeer.
The Waterkeringpad is a walking route between Amsterdam Central Station and Huizen and consists of eight sections. It's a 36 kilometer trail and the dike offers beautiful views over the IJ Lake. There is much to discover. Between the arable land is a bird sanctuary with a beautiful beech tree forest. The ground is covered with fallen Autumn leaves.
Het Waterkeringpad is een wandelroute tussen Amsterdam Centraal Station en Huizen en bestaat uit acht trajecten. Bekijk hier al de trajecten en info. De route volgt de waterkering langs de voormalige Zuiderzee nu het IJmeer en het Gooimeer. Een unieke ervaring, wandelen over de dijk! Vóór 1500 bestond de Diemerzeedijk tussen Maxis en Muiden uit klei en bouwafval. Vanaf midden vijftiende eeuw kreeg de oude zeedijk een beschoeiing van houten palen. Tussen 1732 en 1744 maakte hout plaats voor een flauw aflopende stenen glooiing. Die kon krachtige golfslag beter opvangen. Het Waterkeringpad is een 36 kilometer lange wandelroute. Wij wandelen traject nr.6 van Naarden naar Oud Valkeveen. Op de kop van de stuwwal van Laren en Huizen ligt natuurgebied de Naarder Eng. Hier eindigt de Utrechtse Heuvelrug bij de voormalige Zuiderzee. De Naarder Eng is in beheer bij het Goois Natuurreservaat en staat bekend als de best bewaarde eng bouwland van het Gooi. Oud Valkeveen wordt omringd door vogel- en natuurreservaten. De Zwarte Specht, en de hoornaar insect zijn voorbeelden van relatief zeldzame dieren, die hier te vinden zijn. Er is veel te ontdekken. Op de akkers groeien korenbloem, bolderik, akkerviooltje, echte kamille, kleine klaproos, leeuwenbek en vlasbekje. Tussen het bouwland liggen restanten eikenhakhoutbos. Dat eikenhout is vroeger onder meer gebruikt als brandhout in visrokerijen. Let bij de bosrand goed op de reeën en konijnen die hier veelvuldig voorkomen. De zwam is te vinden op dode takken en stronken, vrijwel uitsluitend van loofbomen. Het pad richting Oud Valkeveen is een fraaie afwisselende wandeling langs grote beukenbomen, dennenbos, varens en langs het Gooimeer. Bij het water wordt de ringslang soms gezien. Watervogels zijn er in overvloed. Vanaf de Eukenberg en de Aalberg kunt u tot ver over het Gooimeer kijken.

This Blythe doll is Snowflake Sonata for “Unique” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. I recently came across the armoire on the right at the antique mall; I found the mirror there too. I love my antique mall!!
Final version of this scene. The clouds were think and rolling in the wind and I tried a more balanced approach to the city buildings and river. Please see my other two versions of the Boston Skyline on my Flickr site.

It was common to see dogs and their owners on the street, but this scene was actually fairly unique: a muzzled dog, who seemed to be patiently enduring the contraption that had been stuck on his face.
I have no idea what kind of dog this is, or whether he was prone to bite anyone within reach; it might have been something as simple as preventing the mutt from barking too loudly. In any case, both dog and owner seemed to be strolling along without any great drama.
**********************
As I’ve mentioned in a couple of recent Tumblr blog postings, I’m working on an exercise for a new class that I’ve started taking at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in the fall of 2015.( You can see the earlier Tumblr postings here and here.)
In addition to taking a bunch of photos (see the other Tumblr postings for details and descriptions of what the photos are supposed to illustrate), we also have the task of editing our images down to a maximum of 10 “presentation images” that we will share with the ICP class next week. When our instructor, Joanne Dugan, asked me last week if I anticipated having any problems with this aspect of the assignment, I shrugged and said, “No, I do this all the time …”
Well, yes and no: I do do a lot of editing/winnowing of my photos before deciding which ones should be shared with anyone else. But I had forgotten that I also do a lot of cropping, color-adjustment, tweaking, and general post-processing before I upload my photos to Flickr, Facebook, or even Instagram. For this particular ICP exercise, we were also told not to crop the photos, and not to do any post-processing. That makes things a lot more difficult …
On the other hand, part of the exercise is to assemble and share a maximum of ten photos that collectively tell a “story” of some kind – and to “tell” that story with anywhere from a word, to a sentence, to a paragraph for each of the photos. That makes things a lot easier … after all, if a photo has to be presented in isolation, then it truly stands alone. And it is intended to be viewed without any accompanying text, then it really stands alone. There’s nothing wrong with that; indeed, one might argue that that’s the whole point of photography: a picture should “tell” a story all by itself, without any extraneous verbiage to “explain” what might not be obvious to the viewer.
But not very many things exist in complete isolation of the rest of the universe, especially in today’s interconnected world. I suppose some people would debate that point quite vigorously; and some people might argue that a photograph of a person, place, or thing should be able to “stand alone” without anything else. I certainly have seen photos that fall into this category, and I suppose I’ve taken a few like that, too. Or, maybe if I never intended my photos to be considered in complete isolation from one another, perhaps that’s how some people prefer to look at them …
But for me, that’s a pretty rare phenomenon. Almost always, I find myself telling a story. The photographs obviously present one “dimension” of the story, in a visual form; and I’ve been trying to remind myself lately that videos can present can present one, and sometimes two, additional dimensions (motion and sound) that can add enormously to the viewer’s understanding and appreciation of the underlying story.
But even if one uses only traditional photos, I find that it’s almost impossible for me to crate (or make, or take) one photo by itself; invariably, I take dozens, if not hundreds or even thousands, which collectively tell a story. It may be a story about someplace I’ve been, or some event in which I’ve participated, or some individual (or group of individuals) that I want the viewer to know and appreciate in more detail than would be possible to communicate in a single photo.
And then there are the words … maybe it’s because I spend part of my time as a writer and teacher that I find it almost impossible not to augment my photos with words. Lots of words. Indeed, sometimes far too many words; and sometimes clumsy words, or the wrong words. And I do realize that there are times when the situation would be improved if I would just shut up, and let the photograph do all of the communication. But for better or worse, I guess I’m a photojournalist.
With that in mind, I began the process of editing the photos for my recent ICP assignment. Here’s what I found:
1. It’s not as easy as one might think, when you start with a large number. I began winnowing the original images when I had 2,700 (after 9 days of shooting), and I still had 5 days of shooting left).
2. It’s much more difficult than I had imagined, given the constraints of my ICP class: no cropping, no post-processing, and a maximum of only 10 images. I’ve worked within those constraints for the final images that I’m submitting to the ICP class; but for these Flickr uploads, I’ve ended up with 40-45 images – and they have been heavily cropped, tilted, color-corrected, noise-dusted, and tweaked in various other ways. C’est la vie…
3. Using the collection of photos to “tell a story” is both easier and harder than I thought it would be. I’m including these background notes in all of the photos that get uploaded to Flickr … because I’ve learned (form past experience) that some visitor will zoom in on just one particular photo, without necessarily looking at all of them, and/or without seeing the overall notes for the entire album. And I don’t think I’ll find it difficult to write a few sentences to provide the background details for each photo … but whether they “flow” and create one overall, coherent “story” remains to be seen.
4. Aside from a narrative “story,” there are some “themes” that I noticed throughout this entire two-week exercise. The most significant one was exactly what I had anticipated: patterns. If you are lucky enough to sit in the same spot at the same time, day after day, you see the same rhythms, the same people, the same repetitions of life’s little actions and emotions. Many people have the opportunity to see these patterns, because they do follow the same schedule, day after day, on their way to their job or their school. But some of us have irregular routines, and any, most of us don’t pay any attention. If you slow down, and pay attention, you’ll see the patterns.
But sometimes the pattern involves uniqueness – i.e. strange and unusual people or events that seem to happen only once. But I have to keep reminding myself that my visits have lasted only two weeks; if I was here for a month, or a full season, or perhaps an entire year – then perhaps I would see these strange incidents repeating themselves
5. Another theme – which I did not anticipate, but was delighted to see – was the pervasive sense of affection and caring between and among everyone on the street. Mostly it was apparent in the interactions between parents and children; but sometimes it was between dog-owners and the dogs they were walking; sometimes it was between friends who happened to be walking along together; and sometimes it was between complete strangers and me, as the strangers would smile and nod and say “hello” if they noticed I was watching them. It was a great experience.
This was a unique quest that I hope to revisit next Faire. It was like "Choose Your Own Adventure" with multiple endings. Some bad, some chaotic neutral. And probably more endings I couldn't catch. All in all not a bad reward for surviving.
Take a seat from the foggy side.
A shot take at the lake side docking area, the lake was frozen and the temperature warmed up fast from some very cold weather.
A heavy thick fog was hovering over the lake like something you'd see in a movie. On the other side of the lake is the closest treeline contrasting thru the fog. The tree line was also casting a shadow area into the fog making the other side have a very moody atmosphere.
Anyway I hope you enjoy guys and thanks for stopping in my friends!
