A variation of my image, posted a few days ago, of the view from the rock platform at Kirribilli, Sydney.

Today's view incorporates the Opera House, whereas the other image included only the city and the bridge. It was a matter of trying to get the best angle with my 16-35mm wide lens, without falling into Sydney harbour, lol.
Photographed last Friday, 14th July, 2023. The winter sunset in Sydney.
My Canon EOS 5D Mk IV with the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L lens.
Processed in Adobe Lightroom and PhotoPad Pro by NCH software.
No filter. No saturation. This is the Sydney sunset.
But it could be a bit sharper on the top of the city buildings.
It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart. Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds. The most important things are the hardest things to say.......
Once upon a time there were three Seagulls ...
Here's something different, we could create a story with our comments, if everybody adds a sentence to follow on from the one before, our collective imaginations could create a story about these three Seagulls. Let's play and see where it takes us ...

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
...of history.

Stumbling upon this beautiful scene during our stroll felt like discovering a peaceful secret in the heart of the bustling city. This is the Fontaine des Tritons, a historic fountain nestled in the lovely Jardin Albert Ier. The statue of Triton, a mythological sea figure, stands as a silent guardian, while the surrounding pine trees and elegant buildings capture the timeless charm of Nice. It’s a quiet reminder that even in a city known for its vibrant energy, you can find a moment of beauty, where history and nature stand still.
Soaking up the sun and a bit of history in Nice. What a beautiful place to pause, breathe, and take it all in.
Once upon a time we had a weekend cabin in a mountain community. Visited my friend Pat there yesterday to honor the memory of two dear community members with a ceremony of tea and chocolates for Beverly, wine and strawberries for Dean. And of course a view of their beloved mountains...

A two-part visual story from Stratford-upon-Avon, the historic birthplace of William Shakespeare.
Both shot - grand bronze statue of the Bard standing proudly against a backdrop of traditional Tudor timber-framed architecture and a local souvenir shop display filled with Shakespearean postcards, portraits, and memorabilia - illustrate how the spirit of English literature shapes every corner of this charming town.

Ah! what pleasant visions haunt me
As I gaze upon the sea!
All the old romantic legends,
All my dreams, come back to me.
-The Secret of the Sea, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The barracks were built between 1717 and 1721 by Nicholas Hawksmoor for the Board of Ordnance to protect the town during the Jacobite risings. The work, which involved two parallel blocks of military accommodation, was supervised by Captain Thomas Phillips. An additional block was added between 1739 and 1741. After the Napoleonic Wars the barracks were abandoned but put back into use in the 1850s.
Following the Childers Reforms, the barracks became the depot of the King's Own Scottish Borderers, who arrived from Fulford Barracks in July 1881. The regiment moved out of the barracks in 1963 and they are now maintained by English Heritage.
Nicholas Hawksmoor was an English architect. He was a leading figure of the English Baroque style of architecture in the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries

American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis)
Seven Islands State Birding Park, Tennessee, U.S.A.
The American Goldfinch is a late-breeding songbird that feeds almost exclusively on seeds, especially thistle, sunflower, and coneflower. It prefers open meadows and weedy fields rich in native plants, often nesting near thistle patches to match peak seed availability. Northern populations migrate south in winter, but their movements are erratic—and in colder months, they molt into a muted olive-brown plumage that makes them difficult to spot.
According to the IUCN Red List, the American Goldfinch has an estimated 44,000,000 mature individuals with a population trend that is decreasing.
IUCN Red List Assessment (2016): Least Concern

Beware, here there be white shapes and bad grouping.
Raindrop
Yay, it has been raining! We have had 11mm/0.4 inch so far with more in the forecast. I liked the way this raindrops on the Jade Buds was refracting the leaves.
Incredible, at least to me, as I rarely saw this pond in this condition. But even several minutes later when the Helpers clawed their way by the surface was still very still and mirror like. Count me as surprised as the wind seems to blow frequently on Marias Pass.
There has been a pier and flood defence of some sort at the head of the River Esk in Whitby since the early 1300's.
Whitby has a rather interesting but sadly in a state of disrepair, pierhead, where there are actually two piers.
It is also one of the few places where you can watch sunrise and sunset over the sea from the same location.
