After our walk this morning, we stopped at Linda and Lexy's house, where Sunny & Marcy proceeded to steal Lexy's toys. We did manage to get the three to pose on the couch for a photo of them wearing their fashionable bandanas.

[Having returned home and as we inch into late Fall and Winter with no plans for extended photo trips until next year, I resume uploading the rest of my selected photos from 2020 (10 per day, usually in the morning CET), as well as a selection of my current, 2021 photos (usually 3 or 4 per day, in the evening CET).]
The Gers is a small part of the region of Aquitaine, which covers most of southwestern France. On July 2020, we rented a house for three weeks in the Gers area, and commencing today, I will upload a selection of the photographs I took while we were there. I hope you will enjoy them!
As usual, I will caption more specifically in bold type below whenever necessary.

The term Midgard (Old Norse: miðgarðr) comes from Norse mythology and literally means “Middle Court” or “Middle Earth.” It is also the name of a Viking museum near Horten, Norway.

After seeing "Earthlings" we stopped liking animal performance at all.
On the footplate of visiting rebuilt Bulleid Battle of Britain pacific 34053 Sir Keith Park being prepped on Loughborough shed ready to work trains during the Autumn Gala.
I was only visiting myself as I was rostered on 46521 but it is interesting to compare the original Bulleid cab lay out of 34081 with 34053's rebuilt version. The large brass oil feed trays of the original have been replaced and the steam operating mechanism for the firehole door removed. Similarly the dainty steam operated reverser has been replaced by a regular screw handle. The long steam generator lever is in the same place on the right.

If you are visiting Bury St Edmunds then the Cornhill is the central hub for shopping particularly on Market Days on both Wednesdays and Saturday when up to a 100 stalls can be browsed .
Perhaps the star attraction on the Cornhill is Moyse's Hall a 12th century building. It has served as the town's bridewell , workhouse , gaol, police station and now as a museum.
On the Cornhill is a Boer War memorial of a soldier of the Suffolk Regiment with rifle leaning on a rock The memorial lists the names of 193, inc 8 officers and 147 N.C.O.'s . The memorial was unveiled on 11th November 1904.
One of the finest buildings on the Cornhill is the Market Cross built in the 18th century to a Robert Adam design. Once a Corn Exchange with a theatre upstairs. You may spot the panels with masks and musical instruments. The theatre closed in 1819 . In a short life as a music venue Liszt performed here 1842.
If you look above the mock Tudor frontage of Boots Chemists you will see statues with a Suffolk connection Agricola, St Edmund , Edward 1st and Edward 6th.
Unfortunately Everard's Hotel where we had our wedding reception closed in 1987 and is now Pizza Hut. Other pubs I used to visit in the Cornhill included the Griffin (now Edmundo) , the Castle (now Superdrug) .

This was taken just outside the subway entrance at 72nd Street & Broadway, in Verdi Square. At first, I thought this woman was a computer-artist, using a graphics pen to sketch something on an IBM Thinkpad laptop (that's what the computer is, as you can tell from the logo on the top left corner of the back-panel).
However, when I was able to crop-down and blow-up the image, I saw that she works for the Visiting Nurse Service of New York ... so maybe she was doing some kind of data-entry input, after finishing up a visit to a patient in the neighborhood ... if nothing else, it tells you that there are a lot of complex lives and lifestyles in this city, many of which we never learn anything about ...
**********************
This is part of an evolving photo-project, which will probably continue throughout the summer of 2008, and perhaps beyond: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
For the most part, I've deliberately avoided photographing bums, drunks, drunks, and crazy people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes ...
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... but there was just nothing memorable about them.
While visiting Yosemite this December we were treated to a wonderful snowstorm. Afterwards, we went out into the meadows and spotted a Coyote also checking things out. Yosemite is such a special place.
