dear horst is now gone
leaving us sweet memories
of a cherished friend
~Mim Eisenberg
To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.
~Thomas Campbell, "Hallowed Ground"
Our dear friend Horst (*hb19) passed away on May 12th. I dedicate this photo to his sweet memory. We were all delighted by his SKYplay set, and when I went out to shoot something similar in tribute, I chose the heart-shaped leaf of my weeping redbud, and as I held it up to the sky, there was a heart-shaped cloud. That could not have been just a coincidence.
Horst was a cherished Flickr friend, always offering his thoughtful, supportive comments to so many of us, and sharing with us the world and family he loved so deeply. My heart goes out to them. May they be comforted in knowing how much Horst was valued here in our Flickr community.
SuperEco members: You are invited to post your comments and remembrances on our special tribute thread for Horst.
I am honored that this photo won second place in SuperEco's "SKYtastic SKYplay" contest.

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.
Inside view of the cathedral. Bogotá, 2600 meters above sea level.
The Metropolitan and Primate Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception and Saint Peter of Bogotá or better known as the Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Bogotá and Primate of Colombia, officially Sacred Holy Temple Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica and Primate of the Immaculate Conception of Mary and Saint Peter, is a cathedral church of Catholic worship consecrated to the Immaculate Conception and under the patronage of Saint Peter; it is a Neoclassical style building located in the Plaza de Bolívar in Bogotá, the country's capital.
The cathedral was designed by Domingo de Petrés and was built between 1807 and 1823. Due to its historical significance, architectural and cultural value, it was declared a Monumento Nacional by decree 1,584 of August 11, 1975.
Wonderful empty old barn and corral, both in good shape and seemingly waiting for someone to recognize their value. Nothing is quite as frightening to a person in their 50s and 60s as losing their jobs and realizing no one is interested in their once useful skills and experience.
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.

This sunset panorama was merged from 4 hand held shots that were taken with a bit shorter focal length than the first ones - 225 mm with the 90-280 mm Apo Vario Elmarit.
After merging in Lightroom I masked the sky with AI to edit it separately regarding colours and contrast which is allowing much more fine tuning for tonal values of the overall picture. I guess that Anselm Adams would have used those tools too with enthusiasm as they make it much easier if we remember all that skilled manual work he did to get the best results from his negatives.
Used my random day off to take advantage of the Southern California weather post-Santa Ana winds. Took the boy to my favorite diner. Perfect place to show off my new purple tee!

Excerpt from www.insauga.com/niagara-on-the-lake-memorial-clock-tower-...:
The structure, which was unveiled on June 3, 1922, almost wasn’t built in the first place.
It was originally proposed to honour the town’s residents who fought in World War I but never made it home. The idea was so highly regarded that a Toronto architect, Charles M. Wilmott, was enlisted to design it.
A 27-person committee dedicated to its construction was quickly formed and included the future town mayor, J.M. Mussen. The committee calculated it could be built for $8,000, not much these days but a king’s ransom at the time.
However, not everyone was onboard with the plan. The mayor at the time, Jame Maphee, said the town would be better off spending $10,000 to build a hospital. Other residents wanted to build a new high school or a new sports park.
In the end, on June 28, 1920, they settled on the matter in the most democratic manner possible. They put it to a town-wide vote.
In the end, 316 people voted for the clock tower, 237 voted for a new hospital, 72 voted for a much smaller, more traditional memorial while just four people voted for the sports park and three voted for the high school.
When the clock tower was unveiled in 1922, Niagara-on-the-Lake quickly earned the distinction of being the only town or city in Canada with a war memorial in the middle of its main street.

Description of Historic Place
Located on the main street of Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Niagara District Court House National Historic Site of Canada is a handsome stone building in a classical style. Its classicism is expressed through its symmetry and classical details, such as the central pediment, porch with columns, window surrounds, and stringcourses. The surviving interior spaces reflect the multiple uses for which this building was designed.
Heritage Value
The Niagara District Court House was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1980 because:
-designed by the prominent Toronto architect, William Thomas, in the fashionable Neoclassical style, it is an excellent example of a mid-19th century multipurpose civic structure.
The Niagara District Court House marks a step in the transition to large and more sophisticated civic buildings after 1850. Its greater scale resulted from the inclusion of a wide range of functions. In addition to the courtroom, offices and jail, the Niagara District Court House also included a town hall and market. The structure was designed by William Thomas, an architect of national standing, adept at several classical styles.
Character-Defining Elements
Key elements contributing to the heritage value of this site include:
- its Neoclassical design, as expressed by its mass, symmetry, stone façade, and classical details, such as the corner quoins, pediment, stringcourses, and porch with columns;
- its complex of interior spaces, which support its original multifunctionalism;
- its surviving interior finishes;
- its close relationship with the main street of the town and with its neighbouring buildings.
After having a late night in Missoula, I began the 8 hour trek for Salt Lake City. It didn't take long to find a target that I didn't expect to stumble upon.
UP's only presence into Montana pulls up to the wye and port in Silver Bow, MT. The crossing of the Great Divide is actually quite a spectacular one, and might be worth it if you value undershot, and unknown railroading.

A very simple study of the setting super moon on April, 8th, 2020. Like the soft color-gradient at the western horizon. Luna was with a distance of only 357.035 km kilometers on its nearest distance to earth within the next five years.

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..
The value of things it's not about how long they last,but in intensity with what happens.
That's why there are unforgettable moments,inexplicable things and incomparable people...

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (Arabic: جامع الشيخ زايد الكبير) is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates and is considered to be the key for worship in the country.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was initiated by the late president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who wanted to establish a structure which unites the cultural diversity of Islamic world, the historical and modern values of architecture and art. His final resting place is located on the grounds beside the same mosque. The mosque was constructed from 1996 to 2007. It is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates and the eighth largest mosque in the world. The mosque site is equivalent to the size five football fields approximately.
As the country's grand mosque, it is the key place of worship for Friday gathering and Eid prayers. During Eid it can be visited by more than 40,000 people.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center (SZGMC) offices are located in the east minarets. SZGMC manages the day to day operations, as a place of worship and Friday gathering and also a center of learning and discovery through its educational cultural activities and visitor programs.
The library, located in the north/east minaret, serves the community with classic books and publications addressing a range of Islamic subjects: sciences, civilization, calligraphy, the arts, coins and includes some rare publications dating back more than 200 years. In reflection of the diversity of the Islamic world and the United Arab Emirates, the collection comprises material in a broad range of languages including Arabic, English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Korean.
Value the person you love now.
Tomorrow, when you send a message, she may not be online anymore and it will hurt not to see her typing ...
You will comment "nostalgia" on the old photos, and she will not be there to answer;
You're going to knock on the door and she may not be able to open it;
You will want to call again to hear that voice and she will not be able to answer ...
Life is mysterious and full of "maybe", so be sure to show your feelings tomorrow; tell the person you love how important she is, maybe she just has to listen to you tonight.
Varvara Stepanova (1894 – 1958) was a Russian artist. With her husband Alexander Rodchenko, she was associated with the Constructivist branch of the Russian avant-garde, which rejected aesthetic values in favour of revolutionary ones. Her activities extended into propaganda, poetry, stage scenery and textile designs.
The original houseboats are charmingly restored ships that hail from Amsterdam’s seafaring and trading legacy. Many of these are more than 100 years old and retain original features alongside modern amenities, such as electricity, heating and running water. In the 1960s and 1970s, an influx of more modern houseboats appeared as a solution to increasing demand for housing. This type of houseboat, known as a woonark (literally a house ark), is built on a floating pontoon and typically isn’t motorised. Luxuriously furnished houseboats, sometimes built over multiple floors and complete with adjoined terraces and gardens, can be seen all around Amsterdam’s most picturesque canals.
The houseboats in Amsterdam are permanently anchored to a specific address. A special permit called a ligplaats entitles a houseboat owner to moor their home in a certain spot. These permits are in high demand, and as with all properties, a prime location significantly increases the value of a houseboat.

Description of Historic Place
The Beaumont Knitting Mill, located at 586 Main Street, is on the west side of Main Street, north of Joseph Street, in Glen Williams, Town of Halton Hills. The three storey stone mill was established in 1878 with several later additions.
The property was designated by the Town of Halton Hills in 1990 for its heritage value under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 1990-0045).
Heritage Value
The Beaumont Knitting Mill was established by James Leslie, whose family was among the earliest settlers in the Glen Williams area. It is also associated with Samuel Beaumont, a father of industry in Glen Williams who began to manufacture woollen goods at the Beaumont Knitting Mill in 1878. He made several additions to the mill over the years including a one-and-a-half-storey stone addition that fronts Main Street, which was added circa 1880.
The Beaumont Knitting Mill is the oldest remaining mill in Glen Williams. It is an example of the industrial style building common in small Ontario towns in the 19th century. Typical of this type of structure are the mill's coursed rubble limestone construction, symmetrical composition and mansard roof with dormers. The additions to the building reflect the evolution of industrial activities at the mill over time.
Character-Defining Elements
Character defining elements that contribute to the heritage value of the Beaumont Knitting Mill include its:
- three storey coursed rubble limestone exterior
- four sided mansard roof
- dormers
- projected eaves
- double hung 2 over 2 windows
- limestone lintels and sills
- circa 1880 one-and-a-half-storey stone addition
A third in a series of captures of this beautiful and colorful hummingbird. I would like to promise this will be the last of this species, but since I have about 5000-6000 photographs to yet cull, I can't promise anything. So many photos, so little time :>)
Thank you for viewing and any comments will be valued and learned from.

Favorite food of the Monarch butterflies and an important wild plant that needs help not to be eradicated. These growing in the botanical garden.
An uchikatsugi is a long veiled headdress once worn by noble women to protect their anonymity. It was normal street wear for the nobility, and probably also protected them from mosquitoes.
Here, Mao (Geiko of Gion Kobu) peeks out from beneath her uchikatsugi as she portrays Madame Fujiwara Tamie (1280) in Kyoto's famous Festival of Ages. Also known as Abutsu Ni, she wrote the Izayo Nikki (Diary) in 1277.
Jidai Matsuri, Kyoto`s Festival of Ages, started as a way to revitalize Kyoto after Japan's capitol moved to Tokyo. It has now grown to include about 3 thousand participants (Kyoto residents, including Maiko and Geiko) dressed in authentic period costumes from throughout Japan`s history valued at over $25 million.
Futuron* was a peaceful and friendly population.
Indeed their ground vehicles and spacecrafts were designed to explore new planets and new worlds.
But something is changing: a black menace is coming from the deep space, its name is Blacktron.
The black men want to attack the Futuron people probably to steal the sought after and valued Monorail.
To prevent the Blacktron attack a new armored vehicle is ready to fire: the "White Tiger".
This medium-class tank features 2 middle-range surface-to-air guns, a rotating turret and a crew of three (the commander, the driver and the gunner).
The nick name is a tribute to the invincible german White Tiger tank from WWII.
Will the "Tiger" be able to destroy the black menace?
*Futuron was a subtheme of LEGO Space released between 1987 and 1990 to replace Classic Space series.
