WELL MARKED and distinctive warbler, the Sedge Warbler has a lively and beautiful song that is a useful aid to identification. This one was deep into the reeds but found a small gap to focus through, love seeing them.

Wells Cathedral as seen from the Bishop's Palace Gardens, also in the small city of Wells.

I wanted to visit this city on the last day of my trip to the Cotswolds and I am glad I did: the cathedral, the Close, the Bishop's Palace and the city are all worth a visit. I'll post more photos in the days to come.

View down then central aisle of Wells cathedral, one of the most beautiful in England.

I liked the yellow barrels in the forefront, the colour was striking. Beautiful Wells harbour stretches behind, with a yacht, birds and marshes. The barrels were a temporary fence - gone next time I was there. HFF!

... Well at least the sprinklers still work.

A well marked and distinctive warbler, the sexes are dissimilar with the male with a black cap, and the female seen above with a chestnut cap, note also the pale eye ring. ONE of the few birds where I think the female is better looking than the male.

Seen at Strumpshaw Fen, my sincere thanks to the T.V personaltity, Naturalist Photographer, Elizabeth Dack, for all her help. This was a long weekend with family, on the Norfolk Broads, but had to slip away with my camera early, hope I was not missed....lol.

THANK YOU for your visit and comment, will try to catch up with your lastest image very soon. Hope the Bank holiday weekend went well, 30c in most southern UK spots.

Stay well and safe, God bless you !..................................Tomx.

Well, it had been waiting to happen: here is my Blender made B744 (or an approximation thereof).

Many thanks to Blender Guru for an excellent tutorial. Since the passenger versions of the B744 are being discontinued, I made a Cargo version though (which means I had to make only a few windows).

I used a blueprint of a B744 from Getoutlines.com to model the aircraft.

To make the livery I used Inkscape (first UV unwrapped the model, saved the UV file, imported in Inkscape, drew the livery there, then used that as a texture in Blender to project it on the UV unwrapped aircraft).

All software is freely available.

I went through hundreds of CC0 clouds pictures before I found one that worked. It took quite some time to get the lighting right too.

This is the ‘working’ part of Wells-Next-The Sea. Less busy than the harbour, it’s a peaceful spot. The estuary is bathing in the late afternoon sunshine. This is one of the first photographs I took with the new lens for the Canon. The lens still feels like a stranger and I am in the early stages of building a relationship with it.

Montezuma Well, a detached unit of Montezuma Castle National Monument, is a natural limestone sinkhole near the town of Lake Montezuma, Arizona, through which some 1,500,000 US gallons of water emerge each day from an underground spring. It is located about 11 miles northeast of Montezuma Castle. Wikipedia

How deep;

Measurements made on previous dives showed the west vent as deep 82 feet (137 feet overall) and the east vent at 40 feet (95 feet overall). The National Park Service dive team also lowered a camera some 40 feet into the west vent and discovered it was a continual column of fluidized sand for the entire depth.Sep 28, 2021

This was a day when we watched a storm roll over Wells. An ever-changing sky - blue, then pink, then grey - accompanied by torrential rain and brilliant sunshine.

Well, I wasn't able to get out much during this fall season but here's one of the few pics I did get from it (that's not a bird).

Maybe the well is dry....but it's of no use anymore....All things must pass....

This lady elk had plenty to eat during the summer of '22. That's a good thing as it increases her odds of surviving the lean times ahead through winter in the Rocky Mountains.

This shot was made during the elk rut in Rocky Mountain National Park. A bull and his harem had just crossed the open meadow and this cow was bringing up the rear.

Installation of «Well and Truly » by Roni Horn ...

Two friends together in France

Thanks to the close involvement of Roni Horn, this exhibition provides the opportunity for this power and these affinities to be seen and felt for the first time in France. In the words of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, on the subject of his friend’s art, it gives an unprecedented outline of a “new landscape, a possible horizon”, and “a place of the imagination”, and in those of Roni Horn, “a field of waves” that is continually reworked.

Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn, both conceptual artists, established radical practices with often minimalistic means that contributed to a redefinition of the exhibition as a medium for including the viewer and had a major influence on an entire generation of younger artists. They strive to grasp the inexpressible, the immeas-urable.

For them, what comprises the “œuvre” is the tension produced with the spectator in an artistic experiment linking the artist, spectator, and the object.

This exhibition emphasises the notions of dou-bling up, duality, complexities within repetition, and identity at work in the artists’ respective artistic practices.

In Erinnerung an die Katastrophe des Untergangs der Titanic 1912 eröffnete 2012 das Titanic Museum in der nordirischen Hauptstadt Belfast.

Bereits von außen ist dieses Bauwerk ein beeindruckender Anblick. Denn seine Form erinnert an den Bug eines Schiffes und mit 27 Metern ist es genauso hoch wie einst der Rumpf der Titanic. Zusätzlich erinnern reflektierende Paneele aus Metall an Eiskristalle und Wellen. (Architekt: Eric Kuhne )
