I have so much to be grateful for

 

When the Fog Lifted,this was on the other side of the river.

.. this way,

don't be afraid of the day...

Enjoy and be happy

With some fine artwork.

Printed until 1984, withdrawn 1988.

Faces without names

Playing devils and angels

Lit up by the strobes

Moving hypnotised

I caught your reflection

In the neon on glass

An electric silhouette

Against a static sky

Couldn't resist taking a picture while wandering the amazing Blade Runner build at Themyscira.

Une automotrice Z 5100 assurant l’omnibus 7444 se promène au-dessus de la Dordogne à Mareuil Le Roc. Loin de la région parisienne où elle a effectué la plus grande partie de sa carrière sur les banlieues de la gare de Lyon ou de la gare Montparnasse, cette Z 5100 profite de beaux paysages ruraux pendant ses dernières années de service.

 

A cette date, les trains omnibus (ou « régionaux ») étaient assurés par trois types d’automotrices appartenant à trois générations : les Z 4100, les Z 5100 et les Z 7300 aussi appelées Z2.

 

Du fait d’une bizarrerie administrative, la moitié gauche (nord) de ce pont et de la rivière sont dans le département de la Dordogne de la région Nouvelle Aquitaine alors que la moitié droite (sud) du pont et l’ile au premier plan sont dans le Département du Lot de la région Occitanie. Et 100 mètres plus loin à droite, la voie ferrée rentre de nouveau dans le département de la Dordogne.

 

Pour compliquer le tout, la commune s’appelle Le Roc, mais on trouve aussi l’appellation Mareuil ou Mareuil-le-Roc. Et la gare aujourd’hui disparue portait le nom de La Chapelle-de-Mareuil, alors qu’elle est située sur le territoire de la commune de Saint Julien de Lampon ! Quant au viaduc, son nom est simplement le viaduc de Mareuil.

 

Cette photo ressemble tout à fait aux photos en noir et blanc qui figuraient dans les compartiments des voitures voyageurs d’après-guerre dans un cadre argenté.

EN – 17 July 1983 – Cazoulès, France

 

A Z 5100 electric multiple unit working all-stations train 7444 makes its leisurely way across the River Dordogne at Mareuil-le-Roc. Far from the Paris area, where it spent most of its career on suburban services on Paris Gare de Lyon and Paris-Montparnasse lines, this Z 5100 enjoys some fine rural scenery during its final years in service.

 

At the time, local all-stations (or ‘regional’) trains were worked by three types of EMU from three successive generations: the Z-4100s, Z-5100s and Z-7300s, the latter generally known as Z2s.

 

As a result of an administrative quirk, the left-hand (northern) half of both the bridge and the river lies in the Dordogne département, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, while the right-hand (southern) half of the bridge and the island in the foreground lie in the Lot département, in the Occitanie region. Just 100 metres farther to the right, the railway re-enters the Dordogne département.

 

To complicate matters further, the commune is called Le Roc, although the names Mareuil and Mareuil-le-Roc are also used. The now-vanished nearby station was called La Chapelle-de-Mareuil, despite being situated within the commune of Saint-Julien-de-Lampon! The viaduct, meanwhile, is known simply as the Mareuil Viaduct.

 

This photograph looks just like one of the black-and-white photographs once displayed in silver frames in the compartments of post-war passenger coaches.

There’s something undeniably magical about sitting outside, watching a lightning storm light up the sky.

When I close my eyes I still hear your voice and see your face, so I spend my days drinking to dull the pain.

Today is the day for my 64th. Sure is hard to believe that is has come so fast especially since turning 50 it's been Zoom Zoom.

There is so much to be thankful for. My i have been lucky and so very happy. Always knew that if this day was to arrive that my anthem would be the song by The Beatles....when i'm 64.

So Thank you also John Paul George and Ringo !

Here are a couple of links to click on if you are a fan of the song when i'm 64. Second link is not The Beatles but The Monalisa twins. Enjoy !

When we put our cares in His hands He puts His peace in our hearts.

On my 2 mile walk around the lane. Dull, grey, rain in the air. About 13C, warmer than expected at this time of year

When you are always driving around the city, you forget how gorgeous it is. Until you get airborne.

When the city fades, a smile remains.

Same spotted eagle ray as an earlier post (but from this angle you can't see the spots). The eagle ray had finished searching through the sand for food and then rose in front of me to give this view of its face, with the pig-like nose. I'd say it is cute, but I know that is debatable. :-)

 

The opportunistic palometa is underneath, with another one barely visible behind.

 

The eagle ray is listed as endangered by the IUCN.

Reflections on a hot summer day.

Athenatypes have been developed in tap water with a high pH-value, or also when rinsing with tap water at any stage before fixing.

To make it visible I have increased the iron stain a little in PS.

With slightly acidic developers the unexposed brushstrokes come out clean white.

Well it is normally always closed and securely locked , entry is normally from another entrance . Being opened is what attracted my attention and when I took a nosey peep through the opened door I saw another church going through an all the more common trend . I assume from what I saw that yes the interior is being decorated , BUT all the pews were gone !!

I would have thought that if they were being kept they would have just been covered .

The shot was taken at Great Bookham parish church .

 

Looking through the door you can see what I did in the first comment box .

the mealworms. Haha

Lots of sun today, giving me a chance to bundle up and get some shots.

Thank you for looking at my photos. It is very much appreciated.

when you really love someone you develop a sixth sense for them..

you can feel everything they do...

like when they´re in distress,when they´re happy,when they´re lying... it´s the weirdest thing ever..

but it´s real thing♥

When I read this challenge I hoped immediately to find a tiny snail. I was lucky to find this small snail in the lettuce. After the photo session I put it in the garden for freedom and grow.

 

Thanks for taking time to comment, fave and look at my work. I really appreciate.

12 days ago on a walk in the neighborhood - HTMT!

When we start drying out things should change I hope. We are due for a couple of day of rain starting tomorrow. ( just what we need ). One thing I did notice while out was the amount of fallow land. Not in production and it is a lot ! We should be seeing some fairly well developed growth in fields by this time and I see none.

Spring has also started in the beautiful Polenz Valley in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Here it always happens when the first spring snowflakes start to bloom.

And even if they are still found only a few at the moment or in small groups, you can feel spring.

In addition, when I was moving close to the ground for this photo, the first bees flew across my path.

And as background music there was the gentle rustling of the river Polenz and the singing of quite a few birds.

For me, this was a very successful and recommendable trip. But if you want to experience the highlight, the snowflake meadow in all its glory, then it's better to wait a few more days.

But you'll have to be prepared for a lot more visitors than the few I encountered today.

 

Auch im schönen Polenztal im Elbsandsteingebirge hat der Frühling denn Startschuß gegeben. Hier erfolgt das immer dann, wenn die ersten Märzenbecher beginnen zu blühen.

Und auch, wenn sie im Moment noch eher vereinzelt oder in kleinen Gruppen zu finden sind, man kann den Frühling fühlen.

Außerdem sind mir als, ich für dieses Foto in Bodennähe unterwegs war, auch die ersten Bienen über den Weg geflogen.

Und als Hintergrundmusik gab es das sanfte Rauschen der Polenz und den Gesang ziemlich vieler Vögel.

Das war für mich ein seh gelungender und empfehlenswerter Ausflug. Doch wenn Ihr das Highlight, die Märzenbecherwiese in ihrer ganzen Pracht erleben wollt, dann wartet besser noch ein paar Tage.

Allerdings müsst Ihr Euch dann auf deutlich mehr Besucher einstellen als die paar, die mir heute begegnet sind.

Had a very nice visit to Zollverein Essen, Germany.

It has been a colemine and cokes factory: with an area of 100 hectares, more than 25 years after its closure, the once largest colliery in Europe is the only Unesco World Heritage Site of the Ruhr Area.

... it gets super saturated too! One of the delights of the season, IMO.

 

Explored at # 92 on November 6.

For a few brief moments each year, the sun and this solitary tree share the same path.

 

Long before the lavender reaches its peak bloom, the composition already exists in the mind of the photographer. The tree, the horizon, the flowering rows, and the sun's trajectory slowly converge toward a fleeting alignment.

 

On this evening, everything finally came together.

 

As the sun slipped beneath the horizon, its light passed through the trunk, turning the tree into a silhouette suspended between earth and sky. Around it, the lavender field glowed with the last warm tones of the day.

 

The scene lasts only a few minutes. The alignment takes months.

 

“…when hell freezes over.” But hell had, in fact, frozen over.
