The Buttermere Pines in the early morning light.
The lake is 1.25 miles (2,010 m) by .25 miles (400 m) wide, and is 75 feet (23 m) deep. It has an elevation above sea level of 329 feet (100 m). A place of considerable scenic value, it is situated towards the head of the valley of the River Cocker and is surrounded by fells, notably the High Stile range to the south west, Robinson to the north east, Fleetwith Pike and Haystacks to the south east and Grasmoor to the north west.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16).
Probably the most quoted verse in all the Bible, but how many will heed His call? How many will turn from their sin, and trust Jesus Christ to save them? This is the most important decision you could ever make. Won't you do it today? If you should have any questions, please feel free to text me on my Flickrmail today. I would be more than happy to help you.
"Go sound the horn; strike up the choir; a sinner is saved--saved from the fire; no more in darkness--He's received my Son; all Heaven's rejoicing!; that's the value of one!"

Another sad entry from my late aunt Edie's autograph book. The poppy would suggest that he didn't come back.
A treasure with great sentimental value, especially so, as we approach armistice day once again.
For me, beauty is valued more than anything - the beauty that is manifest in a curved line or in an act of creativity.

This is a close up of The Arc, a building I posted recently, and added to the first comment here.
This building was designed by Walter Franci, but I really liked the quote by Brazilian architect, Oscar Niemeyer.
Yesterday while mowing the lawn I finished listening to "When Breath Becomes Air" for the second time. Nothing like bawling your eyes out while walking behind a power mower. The book is such a beautiful testament to figuring out how to live a meaningful life. Paul Kalanathi, the author, was a brilliant man and I am grateful he found meaning and drive to share his story. Start today and examine your life, where do you find meaning and purpose? No one can define your values for you, this takes work, time, and self-reflection. It's like the quote “The trouble is, you think you have time” from Jack Kornfield's Buddha's Little Instruction Book we skitter away our time mindlessly. Today I slowed down, breathed, sipped tea and enjoyed the sunlight in the crisp morning air.
The Wabisuke Camellia flowers are rather small and have a modest, refined elegance that is very impressive.
The reason they are so highly valued as flowers for the tea ceremony is probably because they are associated with the aesthetic sense of wabi-sabi.
侘助系の椿の花はやや小振りで慎まし
く奥ゆかしい上品さが印象的です。
開花時期が一般の椿よりやや早めで
冬の寒さの中で咲く姿は健気です。
茶花として重用されるのは侘び寂びの
美意識に通じるものがあるからでしょう。

Angesichts des (m.E. beschämenden) Umstandes, dass nur 16 % der Deutschen bereit wären im Ernstfall unsere Werte, Recht und Freiheit auch mit der Waffe zu verteidigen, finde ich es immer wieder erstaunlich, wieviele Amerikaner, Briten, Franzosen dies im 2. Weltkrieg taten, letztlich auch für unsere Freiheit heute.
Hier am Utah Beach (wie auch am nahen Omaha Beach) in der Normandie, starben einst Zehntausende für unsere Freiheit. Obwohl die Spuren von damals allgegenwärtig sind (Bunker, Schiffswracks, Stacheldraht), ist es hier heute sehr friedlich und sehr schön: Strände von schier unendlicher Weite, grasbewachsene Dünen, überall Muscheln, ab und an Pferde, Reiter, Sulkys.

Given the (in my view, shameful) fact that only 16% of Germans would be willing to defend our values, the rule of law, and our freedom—even with arms—if the need arose, I find it consistently astonishing how many Americans, Britons, and Frenchmen did exactly that during World War II, ultimately securing the freedom we enjoy today.
Here at Utah Beach (as well as at nearby Omaha Beach) in Normandy, tens of thousands once died for our freedom. Although traces of that era remain omnipresent—bunkers, shipwrecks, barbed wire—the atmosphere here today is one of great peace and beauty: beaches of seemingly endless expanse, grass-covered dunes, seashells everywhere, and the occasional horse, rider, or sulky.

There's something inherently sad about household objects left out for the trash man. They are like castoffs; broken or no longer cherished, and left ignominiously out on the curb. This easy chair caught my eye the other day. Part of the forlorn quality of scenes like this is the object being ripped from its normal context. I wouldn't give the chair a second look in someone's living room. But it seemed horribly out of place on the edge of the state highway that bisects the village. That, and the sedentary nature of a recliner juxtaposed against passing traffic. Wonderful visual metaphors for the life cycle of things we purchase and the passage of time (and with it life). In the eerie stillness after the truck passed I contemplated the chair and the many other personal objects scattered about the lawn behind me. There's a village-wide trash haul this weekend, and little collections such as this are springing up all around. I have to admit a weird impulse to inspect them, and yearn to pull over when driving by. I can't help but think I will find something of value (I almost never do) but also that idle curiosity about seeing the remnants of someone else's life (remember I did preface this as weird). I'll be placing some of my own items out on the curb soon. I tend to wait until the night before, perhaps to avoid having others inspect them as I did this chair. Even when it's sheer junk, I feel an odd sentimental tug about letting go of things. And that spell lasts as long as the objects remain on my tree lawn before the pickup. Much like this chair, they are in the condemned phase, but still retrievable. I can simply go back out and reclaim them. That sentiment vanishes the moment the objects are tossed onto the truck. Maybe that's why I wait until the last minute to put them out. I just can't stand that in between time.

Take a moment from time to time to remember that you are alive.
I know this sounds a trifle obvious, but it is amazing how little time
we take to remark upon this singular and gratifying fact.
By the most astounding stroke of luck an infinitesimal portion
of all the matter in the universe came together to create you
and for the tiniest moment in the great span of eternity
you have the incomparable privilege to exist ...

English ten pound note.
If you are familiar with this banknote then this image may strike you as being a little odd. You’ll know the iridescent holograms on the left, but you may not have seen the large yellow figures ‘10’ formed in the pattern at the top.
That’s because this image was taken in UV light. There are patches of fluorescent ink printed on the note that just look like white paper in ordinary light. The five-pound note has a 5 in the same place. I couldn’t afford a £20 note to check it out for consistency (or should that be cheque?) ;)
The British pound sterling is the oldest currency in the world that has been in constant circulation. It was adopted around 800AD being modelled on the currency of the French kingdom of Charles the Great (Charlemagne) which was established a few years before. Italian, Spanish and Portuguese currency had the same roots.
The French livre (pound) had 20 sous each of 12 deniers, like the 20 shillings and 12 pennies of sterling. Interestingly although the small denomination was called a penny its symbol was the ‘d’, just like the French denier, the Spanish Dinero and the Portuguese Dinheiro. All the names derive from the Roman denarius coin.
Sterling was decimalised in 1971 which caused all the prices to go up and the parking meters to stop working :) The pound now has 100 new pennies (p or pence).
Originally one French livre was worth a pound weight of silver (equivalent to 14.6 Troy ounces), but by 850 the pound sterling was only worth eleven and a quarter Troy ounces of silver. Looking at tonight’s spot price for silver my note should be redeemable for £1868.62 of the shiny metal… times change.
This image measures under 3 inches across as per the rules.
One thing that photographers should be aware of is that it is illegal to reproduce a digital picture of more than 50% of one side of the note without an overstamp, and the Queen’s head must not be distorted. There are the normal copyright issues as well and these can be rigorously prosecuted. See the Bank of England website for more details.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)

Barton Hill depot in Bristol will be the temporary home for 20901 and 20905 for the next 5 weeks whilst they undergo a repaint into Balfour Beatty livery.
The depot opened in 1840 as a locomotive depot until 1870 when it became a carriage and wagon servicing facility.
I remember it being the home of the Blue Pullman in the early 70s. It was used by RES for a little bit in the mid 90s and went into Arriva ownership in 2011.
Its great to see some locomotives from the 1960s in a depot building dating back to the 1840s.
On the 15th December 2010, they killed-off the Harrier to save less than £1bn. This year the UK government has already spend more than £300bn fighting COVID-19. That’s more money per day on COVID-19 than the entire savings from retiring the Harrier force.
