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 I first adopted Emmy, I was told that "she never barks". Before we even got her home, she had decided that we were her "people". After a few days, she barked for the first time, now she is a very faithful watchdog, little but fiercely protective.

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.
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.

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

When even the birds can be good to each other we should manage to do the same
I think I would say that we have a bit more brains than the birds, even tho I'm doubting some times....
The hoarding that is going on in this CoronaTime, is pretty hillarious or maybe I would call it gross
It's plenty of stuff in the shops if every body is using their heads a bit and not thinking so darn selfish
Hoarding is not in..
and has never been
Hoarding actually makes it worse for the weakest in our society and of course it will frighten many to think Is this so serious?
Yes, it is serious
But you just need to use your head a bit more than you are used to
If you are in the risiko group, are you weak and having health issues you need to be extra careful
The others of us just need to stay calm, not panicing, not making it worse than it is for the ones that already are in fear
When will we ever learn
Wells Fargo Tower and the adjacent Bank of America Tower plunge into the Downtown Fort Worth, Texas, sky.
A great lash out of Chicago on X349 ended up getting even better on A447 when a trailing CN unit got set out at Shops leaving a solid BCOL lash on the point. Slow orders and crossing malfunctions knocked these guys down until well after sunset. I'm ok with it.
The sun comes out, the plumage sparkles—high time for a thorough beauty treatment. This glossy duck visibly gets itself into shape to impress the female ducks.

Wenn die Sonne scheint, beginnt der Glanz
Die Sonne kommt heraus, das Gefieder funkelt – höchste Zeit für eine gründliche Schönheitskur. Diese Glanzente bringt sich sichtbar in Form, um bei den Entendamen Eindruck zu machen.
My heart is black,
Raging with despair,
anger and sorrow.
Filled with confusion and uselessness.
Black, angry and disconnected.
I’m afraid the blackness might spread.

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 !

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.
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.
When I was a kid my sisters and I would look up to the clouds and see where our imagination would take us. Use your and see if you can see two people hugging
Ottavia laments that inability to garden, but luckily her next door neighbours, who have a thriving garden, are willing to share their produce, grown without any chemicals.
Thanks for visiting, it is much appreciated. Enjoy each day.

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 the solar project Segs II in Daggett, California, closed up shop, all the mirrors were turned down to protect them. it is an alien environment. Near Barstow.
Guardando nel mio album ho trovato questa foto di un cumulonembo, al tramonto... scattata vicino casa.
Stupendi contrasti fra il cielo, il buio, la luce, la nuvola...

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.

When I was young, I loved playing with water, and I still do now.

It's also more pleasure for you.
(I hope so)
The moment I saw you I knew my life would never be the same again. At the time, I didn't know what that actually meant.
It was only over time that I realized what a gift, what an enrichment you are for my life. That there is a person who means more to me than anything else. It still overwhelms me when I think back to your first hour in the world, which I was allowed to spend with you. Okay, most of the time you were yelling at me, but since then, at least that's how it feels to me, something special connects us.
And now look at you, 18 years later. This little baby whose feet were smaller than my thumb has grown into a beautiful young woman.
A young woman with personality, with rough edges, with a lot of empathy and humor. It fills me with great pride to see you like this today.
I am very happy to have you in my life and that I was able to accompany you on your way to here and that I can continue to do so.
For your further journey, which is called life, I wish you much success and happiness and all the best. At the same time, I wish you the strength and self-confidence to overcome setbacks and defeats. I am excited to see where your journey will take you and i will always be there for you if you need me.
In dem Moment, als ich Dich zum ersten Mal sah wusste ich, dass mein Leben nie wieder so sein wird wie es vorher war. Was das tatsächlich bedeutet, wusste ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt allerdings noch nicht.
Erst mit der Zeit begriff ich, welch ein Geschenk, welch eine Bereicherung du für mein Leben bist. Das da ein Mensch ist, der mir mehr bedeutet als alles andere. Noch immer überwältigt es mich, wenn ich an deine erste Stunde auf der Welt zurück denke, welche ich mit dir verbringen durfte. Ok, die meiste Zweit davon hast du mich angeschrien doch seit dem, so fühlt es sich für mich zumindest an, verbindet uns etwas Besonderes.
Und nun sieh Dich an, 18 Jahre später. Aus diesem kleinen Baby, deren Füße kleiner waren als mein Daumen, ist eine wunderschöne, junge Frau geworden.
Eine junge Frau mit Persönlichkeit, mit Ecken und Kanten, mit viel Empathie und Humor. Es erfüllt mich mit großem Stolz, dich heute so zu sehen.
Ich bin sehr glücklich, Dich in meinem Leben zu haben und darüber, dass ich Dich auf deinem Weg bis hier her begleiten durfte und dies auch weiterhin darf.
Für Deine weitere Reise, die sich das Leben nennt, wünsche ich Dir viel Erfolg und Glück und auch sonst alles erdenklich Gute. Gleichzeitig wünsche ich Dir auch die Kraft und das Selbstvertrauen Rückschläge und Niederlagen zu meistern. Ich bin gespannt zu sehen, wo Dich deine Reise hinführen wird und immer für Dich da, wenn du mich brauchst.
