I personally am very moved by the respect value and tradition that the poppy represents.
How lucky it was that on the evening I had chosen to photograph these poignant flowers at West Pentire near Crantock, that growing between them were a vast array of native arable wildflowers which are managed by the National Trust to ensure their continued conservation.
Somehow it seemed very fitting bearing in mind the words from armistice day “the going down of the sun” how respectful the setting sun was to only show its subdued rays on this particular evening and in turn illuminated the sea in such a way to make us realise how lucky we are to have what we have compared to those who gave so much for our tomorrow.
Finally as it is Umbellifer Wednesday it was quite appropriate to include Umbellifer’s silhouetted along the top of the hedge on the left hand side of shot, who appear to be providing a guard of honour to the whole evenings happenings.

The Euphrasian Basilica (Croatian: Eufrazijeva bazilika, Italian: Basilica Eufrasiana) is a basilica in Poreč, Croatia. The episcopal complex, including, apart the basilica itself, a sacristy, a baptistery and the bell tower of the nearby archbishop's palace, is one of the best examples of early Byzantine architecture in the Mediterranean region.
The Euphrasian basilica has for the most part retained its original shape, but accidents, fires and earthquakes have altered a few details. Since it is the third church to be built on the same site, it conceals previous buildings, for example the great floor mosaic of the previous basilica from the 5th century. Because of its exceptional value, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997.
The earliest basilica was dedicated to Saint Maurus of Parentium and dates back to the second half of the 4th century. The floor mosaic from its oratory, originally part of a large Roman house, is still preserved in the church garden. This oratorium was already expanded in the same century into a church composed of a nave and one aisle (basilicae geminae). The fish (symbol of Christ) on the floor mosaic dates from this period. Coins with the portrayal of emperor Valens (365–378), found in the same spot, confirm these dates.
The present basilica, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in the sixth century during the period of Bishop Euphrasius. It was built from 553 on the site of the older basilica that had become dilapidated. For the construction, parts of the former church were used and the marble blocks were imported from the coast of the Sea of Marmara. The wall mosaics were executed by Byzantian masters and the floor mosaics by local experts. The construction took about ten years. Euphrasius, holding the church in his arms, is represented on one of the mosaics on the apse, next to St. Maurus.
Following the earthquake of 1440 the southern wall of the central nave of the basilica was restored, so that in place of the windows which were destroyed, other were built in the Gothic style.
The most striking feature of the basilica are its mosaics, dating from the 6th century, and which are considered amongst the finest examples of Byzantine art in the world.

I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

I generally take a photo and then do my value sketch. If time I do a color sketch but most time I just paint. Really I don't care so much about local color because I will do my own thing from the value study. It works for me.

King’s Day Dutch: Koningsdag, is the National holiday celebrated with joyful open air festivities on the King’s Willem- Alexander birthday, held each year in April in the Netherlands. King's day Amsterdam celebrations are the biggest and the most attractive. More than million people arrive to the city to celebrate this day. Street carnival, dancing and singing combined with the open air free market, selling and buying of all kinds of small objects by almost all Amsterdam citizens. Traditionally the reigning monarch portraits are on display and streets are decorated with national Dutch flags and the color of orange, the traditional color of the monarchy and the symbol of Dutch patriotism. Many any people dress up as the King or wear the King’s insignia, while almost all try to have an orange accent in their clothing. This is also the day to eat in the streets exotic food Indonesian, Surinamese, Moroccan or Turkish and drink beer or orange juice. A glass of Heineken or Amstel sold in the street will be between €2.00 and €3.00. The Dutch, traditionally the nation of sailors and merchants, celebrate their most important national holiday with selling and buying of small unnecessary objects from their households. The prices are mostly symbolic. Starting as early as 7 A.M., the whole city center becomes a street market. Most of people are selling their stuff directly in front of their house. Fun is the most important here - do not expect to buy anything of value. The tradition is to negotiate about the price and it happens, especially when children are trading, that buyer raises the price to show the playful character of this festive business.
The old area of the Jordaan, traditionally poor district of the city but now trendy Amsterdam area, becomes on the King’s Day most crowded free market area. Many folk singers are performing popular Amsterdam songs directly in the streets. A festive boat parade takes place for several hours in early afternoon, usually along the Prinsengracht canal. People dance on boats and on the shore. Sometimes some boats stop at the shore and will be willing to invite you to their floating party.
Op Koningsdag kleurt Amsterdam oranje! Veel mensen dragen oranje kleding en de straten en grachten kleuren dan ook helemaal oranje. Op straat, op de grachten en in de parken worden de leukste openluchtfestiviteiten geboden voor jong en oud. Amsterdam kleurt, net als de rest van Nederland, elk jaar op Koningsdag oranje. Op de uitbundigste feestdag van het jaar viert iedereen feest en zet daarmee de koninklijke familie in het zonnetje. Tijdens Koningsdag is het op de grachten van Amsterdam erg gezellig, maar ook erg druk. Met de vele liveoptredens en dj's tijdens Koningsnacht en het enorme aantal evenementen, vrijmarkten en kinderactiviteiten op Koningsdag hoeft niemand zich te vervelen tijdens het grootste straatfeest van het jaar. Zoals het een ware handelsstad betaamt, is Amsterdam de plek bij uitstek om te handelen en te onderhandelen. De vrijmarkt is een uitgelezen kans voor alle Amsterdammers om hun tweedehands spullen op straat of in het park te verkopen en is hiermee een van de grootste vlooienmarkten ter wereld. Ook op de Amsterdamse grachten is het op Koningsdag een groot oranje feest. Duizenden versierde boten varen over de grachten en zorgen vaak voor een gezellig oponthoud. Op een boot Koningsdag vieren is natuurlijk het allerleukst, maar vanaf de kant en de bruggen deel je net zo goed in de feestvreugde. De Prinsengracht raakt overvol met boten. De dansmuziek weergalmt van de boten af. Er wordt op elke boot lekker gedanst en sommige gaan helemaal los. Wat een feest toch, één groot gekkenhuis!! Voor grote straatfeesten zijn de Jordaan, de Wallen, de Nieuwmarkt en de grote pleinen de beste plek. Bewoners en cafés hebben muziek en drank op straat en u loopt van het ene straatfeest naar het volgende.
This was a painful edit, the lens used was a vintage Canon 24mm from the 80's. These lenses are good value, but they just can't cope with extreme lighting conditions like a modern lens can.

When existence starts, life provides us all with an empty bag - just waiting to be filled. We value it with a great sense of duty when we carry it around because unconsciously, we understand the importance of its content. And so, over time, it begins to define who we are and who everyone thinks to be.
While we are creating the plot of this customized story, we already assess its value.
We treat it with the utmost caution as we are aware of the risk we take when revealing its content. But living frequently means that one day the concealing is doomed to failure. And eventually, a reflection of this fragile inside - what forms us, you and me - sees the light of day.
Often, it is this exposure that we fear the most. We tend to uglify the experiences that made us who we are. But in the course of a lifetime, no one is safe from getting scratched. Yet we feel ashamed for parts of our identity.
And though it is our unique narrative, we like to sell it at less than fair value.
In the end, the extraordinary beauty of life consistently lies in the unexpected. Hence, it might be that the value of our imperfection caused us to find common ground in the first place.
Desert Chariots:
During the height of the reign of the ancient empire of man, the tactics that they employed in battle were unsurpassed, allowing them to sweep over their enemies like the shifting sands over desert bones. One of these tactics was the use of the chariot. Never before seen, the chariot was a revolutionary way to wage war on a destructive scale. The rare and highly valued horses were hitched to wheeled platforms that could traverse the battlefield at unimaginable speeds, outflanking and out fighting the enemy at every point on the field of battle.
When the Pharaohs awoke from their dark tombs and towering pyramids, the first units they employed to retake their old domains were chariots. Now pulled by daunting skeletal steeds and driven by elite veterans of the skeletal legions, the chariots are one of the most crucial aspects of the Desert Ancients battlefield prowess.
Able to outmatch regular cavalry in head to head combat and able to scythe through even the most elite infantry like a knife through sand, the chariots are a terror on the hot desert plains. Two skeleton veterans operate the structures of death, each one a towering visage of their impressive physical size and battlefield skill in life, now in undeath.
They wield ancient and impressive spears that are able to reach out and impale the foe on the razor sharp edges. One of the most impressive creations of man, the chariot is still feared among foes to this day.

Lakeside Forest
Forests and Lake Biwa
In Shiga Prefecture, forests cover 200,000 hectares, i.e. roughly half the total area of the prefecture, accounting for about 60% of the land area. Most rainwater falling in forests surrounding Lake Biwa flows into the lake, which nurtures rich ecosystems and thereby sustains our lives.
In addition to playing these roles as a water source, forests offer a variety of values such as disaster prevention and timber production.
Currently, an increasing number of forests are ill-managed and devastated due to various changes in socioeconomic conditions and people’s lifestyles. If we allow these forests to continue to deteriorate, the subsequent decline in the multifunctionality of forests will have significant impact on our everyday lives. - Shiga prefecture
Lake Biwa, the largest lake of Japan, is located in central Honshu and fills the bottom of an oblong tectonic basin. The lake was formed some five million years ago and is therefore one of the oldest lakes in the world geologically, though it was originally located some distance south and moved gradually to its present site about 700,000 years ago. The long history of isolation from ther water bodies is suggested by the lake's biota, which is fairly rich for an island lake, containing about 50 species of fish, 40 species of mollusca and a number of indigenous species.
Lake Biwa measures 63.5 km from north to south and is strongly constricted at about 16 km from its southern end reaching a minimum width of only 1.35 km. The deep main basin (average depth 44 m) north of the constriction is called the Northern Lake, while the shallow sub-basin (average depth 3.5 m) to the south is called the Southern Lake. The two basins differ considerably in water quality, physical conditions, flora and fauna.
The lake's catchment area is 4.7 times as wide as the lake itself, and corresponds closely to the administrative limits of Shiga Prefecture. Forest-covered hills and mountains accounts for nearly 60% of the land area of the Prefecture, and farmlands (mostly wet paddy fields) makes up additional 25%. The forest vegetation consists mostly of secondary forests of pine on low hills and of mixed deciduous hardwoods on marginal mountains, and plantations of conifers. There are several cities of moderate size, the largest being Otsu with a population of 240,000.
Lake Biwa is also the biggest water resource in Japan that supplies city and industrial water for some 13 million residents in Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe megalopolis. The quality of lake water was profoundly influenced by economic development since the 1960's through rapid eutrophication. The legal control of waste water discharge from industries implemented by the National Government in 1970 slowed down the rate of eutrophication to a certain extent, but the steady increase of population, ever-rising standard of living, increased fertilizer application, etc. in the catchment area combined to result in a slow but steady march of lake water quality degradation.
The Shiga Prefectural Government enacted in 1980 the Ordinance for the Prevention of Eutrophication of Lake Biwa, which, for the first time in this country, prohibited the use of phosphate-containing synthetic detergents. The phosphorus content of lake water was thereby reduced considerably, but the effect of reduced phosphorus loading on biological processes in the lake is not yet apparent. - World Lake Database (The International Lake Environment Committee Foundation (ILEC))

Some of my old medals I got while living in Europe with Father and his wife. The medals are for participating in VolksMarches that benefit the European Red Cross which is a 5K / 10K march/hike. The hikes were usually in the beautiful Bavarian Mountains and Alps. The title of this photo "values instilled.." reflects the value traits father instilled within me at a young age; to get involved in events that benefit our community. Must have worked, I still do community events to this day, that are similar, as in my 5K / 10K Benefit Runs that support several charities. My Father and his Wife would do the hikes with me, or my Nanny with wonderful lasting memories.
Escultura Sentados Frente al Mar (Sitting in Front of the Sea) - also known as the Statue of Lovers.
The sculpture is the work, of sculptor Robinson Barría.
The sculpture portrays a couple hugging and sitting, looking at Reloncaví's breast.
The sculpture is inspired by the song "Puerto Montt" by the Uruguayan group Los Iracundos and was inaugurated 14 February, 2002 - how appropriate, Valentines Day.
Since its creation, it has been criticized for its physiognomy and aesthetic value, while at the same time it has become an urban landmark of the city
Located near the Port Noarlunga jetty, the Core Values Totem Poles were installed in April, 2013 and created by artist Terry Beaston.
" What we have we prize not to the worth
Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost,
Why, then we rack the value, then we find
The virtue that possession would not show us
Whiles it was ours."
- William Shakespeare
