The Merganser tried unsuccessfully for over 20 minutes to try to swallow its catch but eventually had to give up..... a little too big
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 :)
this is the lowest value of our money which still easy to get and accepted in mostly market. another coin such as 50 idr, 25 idr, has disappear. i can't find them anymore. have no idea tonight, so i try to shoot it. i hope you enjoy it, my flickr friends. another experiment.
It is the main wetland area of the Castellón province, as well as one of the least damaged habitats of the Valencian Community. Its special scenic, geological and ecological characteristics make this area one of great value within the context of natural heritage of the Valencian region.
Es la principal zona húmeda de la provincia de Castellón, al tiempo que uno de los hábitats húmedos menos alterados de la Comunidad Valenciana. Sus especiales características paisajísticas, geológicas y ecológicas le confieren un gran valor en el contexto del patrimonio natural valenciano.

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.

I go back in my mind to this cold and oh so quiet November morning four years ago thanking God for giving Sandi and myself that day... I must recognize Duffy Holiday for taking us to this, the sacred land of his ancestors, for it was a gift to us of immeasurable value...
Long Shadows at The Totem Pole, Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Utah/Arizona
(A previously unpublished work from our November 2012 Archives)
I was shooting photos at HK Park with friend today during lunch time. There weren't any nice flowers or setting, not even with the greenhouse. At last, we saw the reflection of sky from the pond, which turned out to be a nice painting. I didn't do any special effect, simply adjusted the shadow values. This is a real "water" painting, hahaa...
Day 147
Burns have entertainment value, but also purpose.
I have a special burn barrel with the bottom cut out. This is so I can move it around and place it on top of the large clumps of invasive non-native grass that I am trying to kill which is invading my wildflower meadow. (It's too rocky here to dig these deep-rooted grasses out).
The best time to kill grass with fire is in the summer when it is putting its energy into its leaves. In dormancy the plant's energy (and biomass) is safer, down in its roots. However, there is not enough burn load with the dead grass itself to eradicate it, so I use junk mail and other paper products. This is how grass was designed--to be grazed to the ground and be able to regrow.
I will continue to work this small plot through the summer, then it will take a couple years to build the micro-organisms back up, which I will hasten with an inoculation of soil from the creek, compost, and sprays of molasses. Then hopefully the wildflowers will recolonize.

Excerpt from historicplaces.ca:
Description of Historic Place
The Masonic Temple Building located at 76-86 Dalhousie Street, is situated on the north side of the street between Market and Queen Streets, in the City of Brantford. This three-storey red-brick and stone building was designed in the Edwardian Commercial and Masonic style. It was constructed between 1909 and 1910.
The property was designated for its historic and architectural significance by the City of Brantford under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 127-91).
Heritage Value
The Masonic Temple Building dominates the streetscape along Dalhousie Street. Its red-brick construction is complementary to the light colour of the nearby Federal Building.
The Masonic Temple Building was constructed on the former site of the Van Brocklin foundry, which had later became the Waterous Engine Works Company. The site was redeveloped in 1909, and the Masons began to use the building in 1911 and continued until 1945.
The upper storeys of the Masonic Temple Building demonstrate design features typical of the Masonic teachings of geometry. A series of arcades are located along the second floor of the building. The red-brick ten-bay facade is decorated with segmental arches and includes red-brick and cut-stone accents. The third bay on the left forms a focal point for the facade. It has double-hung windows, and two pilasters topped with a ball element which frames the main arch.
The third floor features brick voussoirs over the flat window heads. Under the window sills are brick sub-sills in relief showing a scallop pattern. At the attic level a cut-stone Masonic emblem and the words 'Temple Building' appear in relief.
Character-Defining Elements
Character defining elements that contribute to the heritage value of the Masonic Temple Building include its:
- ten-bay red-brick building with cut-stone trim
- arcade treatment of windows with brick and stone segmental arches on the second floor
- windows with brick voussoir heads and limestone sills on the third floor
- brick sub-sills in relief with a decorative scallop pattern
- cement render-course located above the third floor windows
- double-hung wood windows on the second floor which have ten small panes grouped together in the upper portion
- six round attic windows framed by stone
- cut-stone Masonic emblem and the words 'Temple Building' carved at the attic level
- dominant location in the Dalhousie streetscape
- proximity to the nearby Federal Building
i love this place,tøyenbadet, where i go for my not so regular swim.
the place is practically stacked with 70-80's memorabilia,and has this inherent charm that is becoming to a place that has remained unchanged for the last 30 years.
the last time i went swimming, i ended up behind an old lady with a hairnet,who left this unmistakeable taste of hairspray in the water.
distasteful one might say, but i kinda just closed my eyes, and drifted behind her,
and suddenly all these half-gone memories of friendly neighbors with their tea and cupcakes re-entered my mind..
and i somehow had an instantaneous feeling of "home".
so after years of detachment i'm finally rediscovering the innocent feeling of childlike safety..in a swimming-pool. filled with aerosol..
my therapist is going to kill me for this..
So I just heard back from a local gallery that wants to show my work. I had just about given up that I would ever hear a thing. Super pleased. It will be my first.
Oh and i just realized, today is my one year flickrversary. Hooray! Flickrpeople, you rock!!!!

All three frames at Cullerlie Stone Circle looking back to the road near Garlogie hamlet, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
“Cullerlie Of Echt; Standing Stones Of Cullerlie; Standing Stones Of Echt; Standing Stones Farm, Leuchar Moss; Cullerie.” From www.trove.scot/place/18548
There are several names for this setting of stones and there have been records of several stones and earth works nearby. The Stone Circle with internal Stone Cists is now clearly marked from the road and gravelled around the reset stones that have been archaeologically excavated. The nearby trees and farm bring natural growth and farming close to the circle and those that built it would have managed and valued resources as we still do.

“A 2004 survey of the site discovered that several of the stones had been carved with previously unnoticed cup marks.”
“It is regarded as "a later development from the recumbent stone circle",[3] though its layout with kerbed cairns within the circle makes it unique.”
“Excavations carried out in 1934 by H. E. Kilbride-Jones on behalf of the Ministry of Works,[1] showed that the circle was built in stages. The entire site had first been cleared, leveled and burned by setting fire to piles of willow twigs.”
“In 1820 James Logan wrote: "The small Circles contained in the larger present a curious singularity; and it is also remarkable that, at a short distance to the southwest, are nine others of similar dimensions."[6] However, when the site was excavated in 1934, no trace of these satellite circles could be found.”

The North America Nebula covers a region more than ten times the area of the full moon, but its surface brightness is low, so normally it cannot be seen with the unaided eye. Binoculars and telescopes with large fields of view (approximately 3°) will show it as a foggy patch of light under sufficiently dark skies. However, using a UHC filter, which filters out some unwanted wavelengths of light, it can be seen without magnification under dark skies. Its shape and reddish color (from the hydrogen Hα emission line) show up only in photographs of the area.
The portion of the nebula resembling Mexico and Central America is known as the Cygnus Wall. This region exhibits the most concentrated star formation.
At optical wavelengths, the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) appear distinct as they are separated by the silhouette of the dark band of interstellar dust L935. The dark cloud is however transparent to radio waves and infrared radiation, and these wavelengths reveal the central regions of Sh2-117 that are not visible to an ordinary telescope, including many highly luminous stars.
The distances to the North America and Pelican nebulae were controversial, because there are few precise methods for determining how far away an HII region lies. Until 2020, most astronomers accepted a value of 2,000 light years, though estimates ranged from 1,500 to 3,000 light years.

The Shiva Vishnu Temple of South Florida is a non-profit religious organization with a mission of operating a traditional Hindu temple based on Vaasthu and Agama Shaastra and imparting religious, educational, and cultural values to our community and future generations. In 1996 we embarked upon building a traditional Dravidian (South Indian) style temple under the guidance of chief architect, Dr. Ganapati Sthapati of Chennai, India, a well-known temple builder of international repute. The construction began in April 1999. Twelve shilpis (sculptors) came from Mahabalipuram, Tamilnadu, India in April 2000 and carried out the Indianization of the temple.
The main temple building has two Raja Gopurams (entrance towers) and two Vimana Gopurams (Towers) over each of the main Shiva and Vishnu Garbagrahas (Shrines). The total area of the temple is approximately 6200 sq ft. The temple ornaments and architectural style are of Chola, and Pandya dynasty (10th century) for Shiva and Parivar (associated) shrines, and Vijayanagara dynasty (12th century) for Venkateshwara and Parivar shrines. The Ayyappa shrine is built according to the Kerala style of architecture. The second building is the community hall which opened in April of 2001. It houses educational and cultural activities and is occasionally rented for private ceremonies to Temple members and devotees.
Mahakumbhabhishekam (sacred purification) and Pranaprathishtapana (consecration) of our temple were celebrated from November 23 to 25 of 2001 and the temple has been open to the public since then. We have four well-trained priests from India who perform daily puja services. The temple’s religious rituals strictly follow the Agama Shastras: Shiva agama for Shiva and Parivar devathas, Pancharathra agama for Vishnu and parivara devathas.
The temple organizes a number of religious services and celebrates major Hindu festivals throughout the year, which are open to the general public. Devotees have the pportunity to sponsor any of these religious services. The temple priests can also conduct specific religious services on behalf of devotees either at the temple or in their homes.
The construction of the temple was made possible with generous contributions from the members of our community. The temple is operated by revenues generated from services and donations. Your generous donation is always welcome
and is tax-deductible.

This Valentine's day instead of cut flowers I got my wife Orchids that would last more, better value I think.
Taken last night.
I've bought this set for 75€. With an L-Motor, Battery/Receiver Box and Remote Control this seemed good value for money. Seemed.
This is a chinese as you can get, when you order a pint of lager and get a glass of horsepiss. Yes, it's yellow and has foam on top, but you'd be a wee bit disappointed - as I am.
1st they did not understand the special properties of a shay, which runs on two bogies to tackle tight radii. This has no bogies, it's a rigid rame loco. The front and back wheelsets don't even touch the rails when you put it on the R40 circle that comes with the kit.
2nd the electric part. It's on or off, like in the good old days with my 4,5V Lego trains, but at double speed. If you want to watch the peculiar power train with moving pistons and turning cogwheels - you can't. The loco is too fast, and the pistons are just a blur.
Without friction tyres it takes a few seconds of spinning wheels until the machine gets into motion.
3rd cable management.
This thingy comes with about 20-25cm (10") of four core cable, but it doesn't exist in the instruction booklet. You have to guess where it should go, and at the end you're left with one big loop. Yes, there's room in the driver's cab, but where do the fireman and the driver go? And they don't even make any arrempt to hide the plugs. Only one in my pictures because I didn't bother with the light, but there are two 4-core cables.
Recommendation? Definitely not. 2 of 5 stars.

The Thirtieth Ion Prophecy - Darkcoin - The Dictatorship of Shadows by Daniel Arrhakis (2021)
With the music : Jo Blankenburg- Lords of Arkhmar
The Thirtieth Ion Prophecy - Darkcoin - The Dictatorship of Shadows
And the times of money covered by shadows, encoded in bits of information came ready to finance the new nightmares and the new dictatorships of Man.
And the Lords of Money financed lies and fear, discrediting journalists, financing conspiracy theories writers in a web of falsehoods for which many will be their slaves.
And the academies of idolatry and the new sects of communication will be founded. The hordes of hate and intolerance worshipers, soldiers of anarchy and conservatives of old moral values will echo to make democracy and freedom of peoples hostages.
And the seeds of uncertainty and discord will be sown so that the Lords of Shadows can re-claim divine power again.
And days will come when the digital gold pyramids will fall apart like leaves in the wind and shake all the ivory towers of the kingdoms of Man while the lords of the shadows tried to implement anarchy and hostage the governments of the Earth.
And the lie will be repeated to the winds until it is considered to be true and the doubt will be written so many times that it will become the new law, unless the resistant fight with all their might and never question their deepest beliefs and values.
Because believe me, the biggest battle of our age is yet to come ... the Battle Of The Consciences !
________________________________________________
A Trigésima Profecia De Ion - Dinheiro Negro - A Ditadura das Sombras
E os tempos do dinheiro envolto nas sombras, codificado em bits de informação chegaram prontos para financiar os novos pesadelos e as novas ditaduras do Homem.
E os Senhores do Dinheiro financiaram mentiras e medos, desacreditando jornalistas, financiando escritores de teorias da conspiração em uma teia de falsidades da qual muitos serão seus escravos.
E as academias de idolatria e as novas seitas de comunicação serão fundadas. As hordas de adoradores do ódio e da intolerância, soldados da anarquia e conservadores de antigos valores morais ecoarão para tornarem reféns a democracia e a liberdade dos povos.
E as sementes da incerteza e da discórdia serão semeadas para que os Senhores das Sombras possam reivindicar novamente o poder divino.
E chegará o dia em que as pirâmides de ouro digital se desintegrarão como folhas ao vento e sacudirão todas as torres de marfim dos reinos do Homem enquanto os senhores das sombras tentam implementar a anarquia e tornar reféns os governos da Terra.
E a mentira se repetirá aos ventos até que seja considerada verdadeira e a dúvida será escrita tantas vezes que se tornará a nova lei, a menos que os resistentes lutem com todas as suas forças e nunca questionem suas crenças e os seus valores mais profundos.
Porque acreditem em mim, a maior batalha de nossa era ainda está por vir ... a Batalha das Consciências!
