There is no ideal Christmas; only the one Christmas you decide to make as a reflection of your values, desires, affections, traditions.

... Women of the World ...
Thai people have always been known to have great respect for old values such as the proper ways a woman should act. The prim and proper ways of a true lady who stays at home spending all her time taking care of children, cook wonderful meals and can make the most marvelous flower creations. These values make Thai women, especially in the area where education is less important than everyday survival, underestimate themselves. We are stronger and we have more impact on society, more than we thought we had. Our opinions matter too and we definitely know more than just the best deals at the supermarket.
It's true that we can't change society and its values overnight but what we can do is to start within ourselves, build confidence within us through knowledge and be the best version of ourselves that we know we could be.

Excerpt from uwaterloo.ca:
Description of the District
The Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District is bounded by Sydenham, Melville, Cross and Victoria Streets in the former Town of Dundas, now the City of Hamilton. The district consists of 49 properties. These properties are predominantly single family dwellings with the exception of three churches.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
According to the Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District Study - Background Report the cultural heritage value of the district lies in its historical and associative value, design or physical value as well as the contextual value. The Background Report concludes:
“The Cross-Melville area constitutes a superb collection of buildings with particularly fine architectural attributes. Tree planted along the streets enhance the surroundings of individual buildings and provide expansive canopies over adjacent streets. Developed in the 1840s and 1850s as the first exclusively residential area distinct from the commercial and industrial locales of Dundas, this neighbourhood is associated with numerous prominent citizens, mayors and councillors, including George Rolph, William Notman, Alexis Begue and the Grafton family”.
Okuni was the originator of kabuki theater. Kyoto, Japan. Kabuki is a classical Japanese dance-drama. known for the stylization of its drama, and for the elaborate make-up worn by some of its performers.
In 2005, the Kabuki theatre was proclaimed by UNESCO as an intangible heritage possessing outstanding universal value.

I love this stuff since I was a little tyke, and today I always have a stash in the cupboard... trying to "educate" the grandkids on the finer points of eating these salted "droppies".
In the past I would go to the "Drop-In" store, V&D and HEMA or even at the "markt" would have a good supply. My favorite were the Salmiak "tongen" (tongues)
The history of the delicious salted liquorice in Holland (known locally as "drop" or "zoute drop") is a fascinating journey from a medieval throat medicine into a full-blown national obsession. Today, the Netherlands boasts the highest per-capita liquorice consumption in the world, with the average person eating roughly 2 kilograms (over 4 pounds) per year.
The Netherlands is one of the largest liquorice candy producers in the European Union. In 2008, the total candy production was valued at €1.3 billion (over $1.4 billion) and it was responsible for approximately one-third of the EU production of liquorice candy and extract.

A shot taken almost 46 years ago to the day uploaded for historical value. And, if you're lucky enough to have the space to model Trent Station back in the 1950s / early 1960s with plentiful 9Fs, 8Fs, Duck 6s, Jubes, D1-10 Peaks, Sulzer Type 2, etc etc, then this image just might be helpful.
In the distant past known as Long Eaton Junction Signal Box, this structure controlled the line to Trent Junction from Attenborough / Nottingham, as well as the by now lifted line to Erewash Junction and Long Eaton station, the track bed of which is still visible curving right under the flyover-line bridge a couple of hundred yards away.
Long Eaton station closed in January 1967 (at which time the name was transferred to the then Sawley Junction station), and presumably the curve from just here to Erewash Junction was lifted shortly afterwards.
Along with so many other signal boxes in the area, its final ignominy came in 1969 with the commissioning of Trent Power Box. However, unlike many of the other redundant boxes which saw swift demolition, this one soldiered on as the Meadow Lane Crossing Shunting Frame for several more years, its role simply to open and close the crossing gates over Meadow Lane.
Advances in camera technology finally made it redundant when control of the crossing was passed to Trent Power Box, and the structure was demolished.
Trent Power Box itself was closed in 2013, after 44 years of service, and control passed to Derby Signalling Centre.
For local road users, delays weren't too bad when this shot was taken but, with the much more intensive contemporary timetables, train frequency has significantly increased. So, if you live on this side of the tracks, your only way out by car is over this crossing - and hearsay suggests the barriers can be down upwards of 40 minutes in every hour. Ouch :(

The former chapel at Princess Road Cemetery, Dawdon was once the architectural and symbolic heart of the burial ground, which opened on 5 November 1885 under the management of what became Seaham Town Council . Although the chapel no longer stands today, its presence is still part of local memory and the cemetery’s character.
Originally, the chapel served as the place where funeral services were held before burials took place in the surrounding grounds. Like many late‑Victorian municipal cemetery chapels, it would have been built in a simple Gothic style—practical, modest, and suited to a mining community that valued dignity over ornament. Its position near the centre of the cemetery made it a natural gathering point for mourners and clergy.
A dramatic moment in its history came in 1936, when the chapel’s steeple was blown down during a severe storm—an event still recalled in Dawdon’s local stories. Although the structure survived for some time afterwards, it eventually fell out of use and was later removed, leaving only its footprint in the cemetery’s layout.
Today, Princess Road Cemetery remains an active burial ground with more than 20,000 burials recorded since its opening, maintained by Seaham Town Council . The absence of the chapel gives the cemetery a more open, windswept feel, but its memory lingers in the way paths converge and in the stories passed down by families whose histories are rooted in Dawdon’s mining past.
A simple, small camera surprisingly heavy for its size. I disassembled the lens and got the shutter to work with some lighter fluid, will take it out for a roll.

NemO’s is an Italian street artist, known for his thought-provoking, dark comedy murals inhabited by characteristic human figures.
NemO’s large public pieces are almost always thought-provoking, displaying his critique towards our society’s modern values, selfish aspects of our society, with banal and thoughtless actions, or towards shallow and shock-addicted press and media.
NemO's es un "street artist" italiano, conocido por sus murales de comedia oscura y provocadores de la reflexión, habitados por figuras humanas características.
Las grandes obras públicas de NemO's son casi siempre estimulantes, mostrando su crítica hacia los valores modernos de nuestra sociedad, los aspectos egoístas de nuestra sociedad, con acciones banales e irreflexivas, o hacia medios y prensa poco profundos y adictos al sensacionalismo.

Colour re-edit of a shot from July 2017. Enjoy.
The Jurassic Coast begins in Exmouth, East Devon, and continues for 95 miles to Old Harry Rocks, near Swanage, Dorset. It is England's only natural World Heritage Site, and was inscribed by UNESCO in 2001 for the outstanding universal value of its rocks, fossils and landforms.
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.
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 :)
