When it comes to independent cinema the State Theatre in North Hobart stands alone in Tasmania. Only the art deco Star in Launceston is comparable. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/49077130843/in/album-72...
Like the post office across the street it opened in 1913 as the North Hobart Picture Palace showing silent movies. The Spanish flu of 1918 and competition from theatres closer to the city centre forced it to close in 1920. It reopened in 1935 and has shown films ever since under a number of different guises.
Since 2019 it has been owned by the Reading Cinemas chain. The key to its success today is that it operates 11 screens in small rooms, allowing for a wide range of movies to be shown at once. The State also operates a bookshop with an extensive range of books about the movies.
When you scream, it sounds like a lullaby
When you beg, I get all gooey inside
Tonight I take your eyes, mind and tongue
To spread the word and watch your kingdom come
Another night with you, another wound
You keep me in stitches, you tear me to pieces
I need new voices in my head to speak my secret evils with
I need new lovers in my bed to be my friends and special pets
I need your scent all over me
I need to taste your blasphemy
I need to know with certainty that the nectar was worth the squeeze
It's just the way that we are diseased
It's the blade that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious
It's just the way that we are diseased
I's the blade that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious
Once upon a time
I ripped the wings from my spine
But when I hide inside your eyes
I still pretend that I can fly
Tell me every secret
So you can fall in love
Then to fall to pieces
I need new voices in my head, a new disguise for me to hide
I need new lovers in my bed to feed my secret appetites
I need your sins all over me
I need to taste this tragedy
I need to know with certainty the nectar was worth the squeeze

While at the Red Rock Canyon NCA in Vegas, it was fun to restrict myself to the tele focal length. I often dread not having access to my wide-angle or standard lenses, and when I have to make a choice would always leave my tele lens. But more and more, I am trying to force myself to be more uncomfortable, and this viewpoint outside of Red Rock canyon was a perfect place to do so. If it didn’t workout, I could always walk back to the car and grab my other gear.
While it started as an experiment, I enjoyed the experience quite a bit. The tele focal length allowed me to isolate the rock formations in the distance and provided some fascinating images. From the viewpoint, the mountain in the distance looked like one giant wall. But as I zoomed in, I started to see the layers in them and why the park has the word canyon in its name. This spot where bright red canyon walls gave way to the pale yellow rocks in the distance was one of the details I wouldn’t have been able to capture with a standard or a wide lens. Now I think I have to go back to some of my favorite places where I never took advantage of my telephoto lenses.
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 !

Have a wonderful day ahead y’all
Another one of Lake Michigan finest winter moments. There’s something about the way the sun hits the ice making it glow that really brings out the true beauty of natures homemade art!
I turn to sitting here, looking over Oltrano and Florence... Brunelleschi's Dome is on the left and Santa Croce on the right...
Florence is a must-see city for any art lover, but its delights reach far beyond the museums and galleries. According to some, the city itself is a piece of art. Have you heard of Stendhal syndrome, that supposed illness that causes sufferers to grow faint at the sight of great beauty? It also goes by the name “Florence syndrome,” as it was first coined after 19th century visitors to Florence were overcome.

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.

When I was quite young my parents would often play a record, a 45 rpm, of Hank Snow singing something about the banks of Lake Louise. I never dreamed that one day I would actually be standing on the banks of this gorgeous lake, hearing "The Singing Ranger" in my head and reliving a sweet childhood memory while taking in the mind-blowing beauty of this place!
When you know a bit about the Algarve and think of Albufeira, the connotation of "tourism" automatically comes to mind. Yes, Albufeira is an extremely lively and touristy place. According to some data, the population increases from about 14,000 to 300,000 during the summer season. In winter, however, you can see the beach almost empty at sunset. And the white buildings of the town shine in this warm light and suggest a visit to one of the local restaurants.

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.

When the sun is going down..

C'è nel giorno un'ora serena che si potrebbe definire assenza di rumore, è l'ora serena del crepuscolo

When lens distortion is your friend. Keeping the odd and other than straight lines normal, and the verticals bending. Nikon Nikkor 28mm 2.8 AIS.
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 Prince Albert, beloved husband of Queen Victoria, she had this huge pyramid built as his memorial overlooking the Cairngorm mountains, which was his favourite spot when visiting Balmoral. It can easily be seen on the hilltop when driving along the Dee valley road. Andy, my climbing partner, decided he wanted to climb it, but didn't get very far!
When my mother-in-law passed away a few years ago, a close friend gave my partner and I a standard Brindabella Pink Bouquet rose to remember her by. She loved flowers, especially roses, so it was the perfect choice! Pink Bouquet was bred by Sylvia and John Gray of Brindabella Country Gardens Nurseries in Queensland in 2009 and introduced it into the Australian market in 2011 and the United States market through Sun-Fire Nurseries in 2018.
The theme for Smile on Saturday for the 21st of November is “flora in monotone”. The rules for this theme advise that the monotone cannot be black and white, so I have chosen a deep blue instead, which is not too dissimilar to the Blue Moon breed of roses, although I promise you that this is not a Blue Moon rose!
With ruffled blooms, as the name suggests, this rose is a beautiful soft pink, however what you don’t tend to notice with colour photography is the almost imperceptible spattered petal edges. The colour difference is not so different to the main pink hue of the rose. Yet here in monotone blue, it is very evident. With over forty petals per bloom, I love the shape of this rose’s centre as it slowly reveals itself to us in what is eventually a very full bloom. It seemed the right choice for the theme this week.
