Did we forget to include enough staff and lifeboats, when we were building the big shiny ships..?
Great wealth often comes from exploitation, child labor, weapons and drug dealing. Not always but often ...

Since the new world order
Played upon our fears
Spreading accusations
Of radical ideas
The brotherhood of wisdom
Strength and dignity
Its rituals and secrets
Remain a mystery
Beneath an ever watchful eye
The angels of the temple fly
Turn the key
Walk through the gate
The great ascent
To reach a higher state
A rite of passage
The final stage
A sacred home
Unlock the door
And lay the cornerstone
A rite of passage
Men of wealth and power
Influence and fame
Philosphers and leaders
All members of the trade
Bound by oath and honor
Like the rose and cross
An enigmatic union
Of esoteric thought
Beneath an ever watchful eye
The angels of the temple fly
Turn the key
Walk through the gate
The great ascent
To reach a higher state
A rite of passage
The final stage
A sacred home
Unlock the door
And lay the cornerstone
A rite of passage
Turn the key
Walk through the gate
The great ascent
To reach a higher state
A rite of passage
The seven stars
The rising sun
A perfect world
A new life has begun
A rite of passage

My photograph captures the elegant profile of a Northern Gannet perched on a rugged cliff edge. Holding a neat tuft of green grass and earth in its beak, the bird is momentarily paused in the vital task of gathering nesting materials.
The soft, golden-buff coloration of its head contrasts beautifully with its brilliant white plumage and the dark, distinctive markings around its piercing blue eye. The composition balances the textures of the mossy, earthen cliffside on the left against a beautifully soft, diffused background, making the gannet truly stand out as the focal point. It is a wonderful, intimate glimpse into the natural behaviors and industrious life of these magnificent seabirds during the breeding season. RSPB Bempton Cliffs.

"I wonder how much it would take to buy a soap bubble, if there were only one in the world."
Mark Twain
Catching the colors in a soap bubble ready to burst is pretty exciting business. I like to live dangerously!
"Bubbles burst as the water molecules that make up the bubble’s thin film evaporate, causing the film to become thinner and more fragile. Eventually, the surface tension can no longer hold the bubble together, leading to its demise."
[...] Nature herself makes the wise man rich [..]
-- Quote by Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
Mazzano Romano, Italy (October, 2007)
Proverbs 18:11 King James Version (KJV)
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
I'd give all wealth that years have piled,
The slow result of Life's decay,
To be once more a little child
For one bright summer day.
~Lewis Carroll,

Wild Geranium flowers fill my flower garden each year. I've never intentionally planted them. However, the geranium ensures that it can spread the wealth. After blooming, fruit capsules are produced 3-5 weeks later. Each consists of a long, central beak-like column (resembling a crane’s head) and five basal cells, each containing one seed. The carpels of the fruit curl upward and backward to spring open when ripe, expelling the seeds 10-30 feet from the mother plant.

Stay close. Wait for the trickle-down effect. You know that there is a very good reason, they say, that governments should help the rich to get richer even easier and much faster. Yes, it is the trickle-down effect. One day, eventually that is, some of the new wealth will trickle down into my watering can and make me rich too. I live in hope. And I am staying ever so close to my watering can. Helios 44M-7 manual lens at F2, one LED lamp.
Packwood House is a timber-framed Tudor manor house in Packwood on the Solihull border near Lapworth, Warwickshire. Owned by the National Trust since 1941, the house is a Grade I listed building. It has a wealth of tapestries and fine furniture, and is known for the garden of yews.[Wikipedia].
Can you believe they want to raise our taxes?
Unreal. It's total class warfare, is what it is.
This commie wealth redistribution has to stop. I mean, I may have to sell one of my airplanes.
Too outrageous to even consider.
Say, I don't believe we've been introduced.
Oh, I just saw this fancy party, and wandered in.
You weren't actually invited? How interesting.
Yes, and it will be more interesting once you give me your wallet.
My. . . what did you say?
I'm taking the wealth redistribution thing personally.
So it appears.

Portsmouth has a wealth of history and strong military connections, so it is not surprising to find a graveyard with so many interesting stories as Highland Road Cemetery. Amongst those interred are decorated servicemen and women from famous battles, as well as associates of Dickens and royalty.
Thomas Ellis Owen sold the land to the Burial Board for the first phase of the cemetery and when the original architect failed to produce plans, he designed his own and built the lodge, chapels and wall. It is thought that the lodge is a smaller version of his home, Dovercourt, and the Anglican chapel is a smaller version of St. Jude's Church. His only child, Louisa Ann Byng, is buried here, as well as her first husband Reverend Thomas Richard Brownrigg. The only other cemetery designed and built by Ellis Owen is Ann's Hill Cemetery in Gosport in 1854.

Wealth is power. With wealth many things are possible.
George Clason
Power is not all bad, if wielded properly, you can change the world for the better. It gets a bad name from those who abuse it.
For those who may think power is bad, remember the power of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Princess Diana, and others who sought to bring positive changes to the world.
...the industry of the North was the driving force of British wealth ... producing steel, machinery and goods. The wonderful Bradford Industrial Museum.

M is for macro and M is for Monday.
Just around the corner form my house is Saint Olaves Church. Inside a wealth of oak panels and fittings. Some of it nicely carved. This lettering sits below the handrail on a ballustrade as a lengthy inscription carved in the oak. The textured background has proven particularly effective at trapping old looking dust. The letters have one or two age cracks, but then it will all still be there long after I am gone. Sunlight was streaming through a nearby high level window, providing lovely contrast giving light. No need of flash here.
The M is just around the 2 inch mark at the broadest part at the top, so I believe the scene was about 3. I don't generally crop my analogue images to any great extent, but I cut a little off this one to be sure.
Image shot on Ilford Pan F on Saturday 5th October 2024. I had 6 frames left on a roll I had been using in the Canon EOS5. This camera will take my modern L series lenses, to the MM theme was an ideal opportunity. The developer was 510 Pyro and this took place around lunchtime on Saturday. Pushing my luck a little, the resultant negatives were scanned late evening the same day. Sorry there is no EXIF, you'll have to take my word for it... that's analogue (we used to just call it film).
Happy Macro Monday.

Still need to fix the haloing around the House.
Angkor, Cambodia, 2013
From about 900 to 1200 AD, Angkor was home to 300.000 to 1.000.000 people (information, facts and scientific guesses vary wildly). Wealth and power of Angkor at least partly derived from an intricatly designed waterway and water storage system, where a river was rerouted over 20 or so kilometers to allow several rice harvests per year. Angkor Wat is well known, though there must be about 80 temples around in the Angkor area. The size of some of those temples is amazing. To my understandig, it is not clear what caused the downfall of this civilazation. Possibly, they were unable to even mainenance the water system (less water, less harvest, less money, less power) or the change of religion from hinduism to buddism (one aspect of the latter is a less hierarchic set of beliefs) caused the end of the Khmer reign over South East Asia. End of wealth, end of story....
Fountain Of Wealth
Supported by four 13.8 metres high bronze legs and spreading over an area of 1683.07 metres, the Fountain of Wealth has been accorded the status of "World's Largest Fountain" in the 1998 edition of the Guinness Book of Records. It is symbolically the ring in the palm of the hand, guaranteeing the retention of wealth. It is destined to be Singapore's most visited tourist destination.
The plaza would provide a large outdoor space for people to gather. But on its own, it would not achieve sufficient visual impact. A dramatic fountain was proposed as a visual focus. The Fountain Plaza, now the focal point of Suntec City, is also at the heart of the Marina Centre area. Not only is it the hub of circulation within the development, it also draws life from the surrounding buildings. This is why it sits off centre within Suntec City -so that it can be directly connected to its neighbours.
The flowing water from the Fountain is also a potent symbol as water is the essence of life in almost every culture. Located round this symbolic centre of life are the buildings which make up Suntec City. These buildings attract human activity - life - to the area. At ground level, vehicles flow around the fountain plaza while pedestrians flow into the buildings around it. Below ground, at the Fountain Terrace, all the buildings are interconnected by shops and restaurants. The complex is also connected to its neighbours by both underground and street-level pedestrian linkways.
The fur look is sophisticated, classy, and unbelievably sexy overall. Through the years, fur clothing and fur accessories have become a symbol of wealth, luxury, and high fashion.
A fur coat is often bought as a stand-alone piece. But most consumers are not aware of how many different types of fur accessories and fur clothing are available to choose from.
Moreover, fur can be worn in any season, making it easy for you to get year-round use of your fur wardrobe selections here in SL.
Wearing fur is powerful. Not only does it feel good attracting looks, gestures, and in provoking sensations, but it also means feeling elegant and improving yourself by ascending to an unparalleled fashion statement.
In short, using a well-known quote (and adapting it to the theme of this WellMade Norah Fur Bikini Set) “Diamonds and fur are a girl’s best friend.”
This WellMade Norah Fur Bikini, when worn with or without a fur coat, creates a cohesive fashion statement that screams elegance, glamour, and sex all at once.
This sexy bikini comes with a Fatpack HUD which gives you 22 colors to have fun with. Body diamonds Included!
This Norah Fur Bikini fits:
-Belleza Freya
-Gen.X Classic
-Curvy
