The old leather suitcase. As an Australian, travel is only allowed within your own state so people's suitcases do not get a lot of use these days. No matter, they deserve a rest. For 'Smile on Saturday' the theme is: 'Made of Leather'.
When everything appears dark, when hope is far away, in a moment inside a seemingly useless shot you realize that nature loves you.
“It is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too: wine, love, art, beauty. Without them life is safe, but not worth bothering with.”

Admiring the sunset from Ciucas peak (1954m). In the background Bucegi massif can be spotted.
PS: Flickr seems to have the worst location system ever! The map is useless and displays completely incorrect locations most of the times.. The location is actually Ciucas massif, and not Vama Buzaului!
The "new" St. Lawrence Church of 1778 in Ayot St. Lawrence. I have begun to reflect on this marvellous building in previous images. The two wings of the structure, left and right, are blatantly useless. They serve no purpose whatsoever. Visually, however, they are great, impressive and attractive. Think of a peacock!
American Red Squirrel interesting fact: in the fall, it will cut green pine cones from trees and store them in the ground. It also stores nuts and seeds in piles under logs, at the base of trees and underground. It doesn't always find or eat all of the seeds and nuts it has stored. Because of this, the red squirrel fills an important niche in spreading seeds in the forest. This one, however, seems to be taking the day off work.
The views from Erice (about 750m altitude; Erice is close to the port of Trapani) along the northern Sicilian coast towards Monte Cofano (about 660 m; in the middle of the image). It seems that everybody who ever came here was attracted to the beauty of this island. In historical times, the Phoenicians or Carthaginians (who fortified Erice and venerated Astarte), then the Greeks (Aphrodite), then the Romans (Venus), then the Byzantines (Mary), then the Muslims, then the Normans (Mary again), The Spanish, the French etc. until Garibaldi made this "Italian" in 1860. The photo was taken at the Castello di Venere (Venus Castle) built by the Normans. A divine lady has always protected this land.
... usually i think about a text or a song or other associations that could work with an image in this case i was looking for the right image for this song : www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWmypu1N8_4&feature=related
This is a collection of old network BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) connectors and terminators we found buried in a cupboard at work and joined together. Apart from being 20 years behind the times, they would also send the network traffic loopy if we connected them to anything - so the ultimate contraption. Over complicated. Looks impressive. Does nothing!
The BNC was commonly used for early computer networks, including ARCnet, the IBM PC Network, and the 10BASE2 variant of modern Ethernet.
You useless boy , always hurting,always crying

i will be there for you to stay an useless boy
whispering in your ears ,following you in yours steps
because you are mine own useless boy, from the moment your born

“It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.”
― Jonathan Swift
The little man answers the call,
“I heard you could use a little help, Santa!”
Skippy envisioned his universe with the help of the following magical creations:
8f8’s Arbor with Vines, Amber Lamps, String Lights, Ornament Lights, and Trellises with Vines, which are all part of the Amberlight Arbor Collection!
anc’s Frozen Grove Trees!
anc’s Mystic Dewgrass!
NOMAD’s PBR Snow!
Let’s keep lifting one another up and shining our light so bright, my friends.
Wishing you a warm and welcoming holiday season!
And and and… Santa is on his way!
Everybody is taking photos of the lifeless bland interior of those temples, one looking like the other. Because they've been there and need to document this somehow. Nobody will look at these shots anymore. Meta or just another one of those?

“Silence stands outside the world of profit and utility; it cannot be exploited for profit; you cannot get anything out of it. It is ‘unproductive’ Therefore it is regarded as valueless. Yet there is more help and healing in silence than in all the 'useful things.’ Purposeless, unexplainable silence suddenly appears at the side of the all-too-purposeful, and frightens us by its very purposelessness. It interferes with the regular flow of the purposeful. It strengthens the untouchable, it lessens the damage inflicted by exploitation. It makes things whole again, by taking them back from the world of dissipation into the world of wholeness. It gives something its own holy uselessness, for that is what silence itself is: holy uselessness.” (Max Picard)
