Also windows and walls again.
This fine barn is located a little way down the road and we have not been that way in awhile. Time for a road trip I think.
Happy Window Wednesday
Happy Wall Wednesday
Abstract and imaginative close up of a corroded green metal door with some added white paint from a far past too.
With this state of decay I wouldn't be surprised if this door is the original one from 1894 of the 'Nederlandsche Scheepsbouw Maatschappij' (Dutch Shipbuilding Company) in Amsterdam.
The almost organic looking rust bubbles made me see some fighting monsters (or playful dragons with both heads in bottom area and one left of the middle looking down?)

Someone had done a somewhat sloppy job on this wall at Vrede en Lust stables…

A faithful dalmation never leaves his post guading an old summer house on the Praia de Faro.
The eastern end (este) of Praia de Faro is known for its charming yet weathered shanty-style buildings that line the beach, giving it a distinct, almost nostalgic character. These structures were originally built as holiday homes and fishing huts by locals in the mid-20th century, before strict building regulations were enforced. Constructed with minimal resources, many of these shacks were built by hand, using whatever materials were available, reflecting a time when the island was less accessible and far from the tourist crowds.
Over the years, these quirky, often colorful beach houses have become emblematic of the laid-back, bohemian vibe of Praia de Faro, contrasting sharply with the more polished resorts found elsewhere along the Algarve coast. However, because they were built without proper permits, many of these buildings face ongoing threats of demolition. The government has been intermittently enforcing coastal protection laws to restore the natural landscape, especially since Praia de Faro is part of the protected Ria Formosa Natural Park.
The community's attempts to preserve these shanty homes have turned into a tug-of-war between heritage and environmental protection, leaving the future of these unique structures uncertain. Despite their dilapidated appearance, these buildings add to the rustic charm of the area and remain a nostalgic reminder of a simpler time, beloved by locals and photographers alike.
The children in Sistersville & Middlebourne & New Martinsville had better start to have nightmares about fleshripping jaws because the Paden City Wildcats are bloodthirstily ravenous. Get ready to scream at sports!
The Wildcats use cinderblocks and rolls of chainlink to sharpen their teeth!

As I wandered around this church, I noticed the clapboard took on different angles depending on where I was standing.
The opposing goal from the one featured four pictures earlier. It is the only diagonal football "pitch" I'm aware of.

The Thams Family Park on the Broadwater and the Gold Coast Hwy at Southport... is the first stage of the Southport Broadwater Parklands Re-Development that is sandwiched between the Broadwater and the Gold Coast Highway, has just undergone a transformation... The most interesting part of this transformation is that this park has been made energy self sufficient... harnessing the energy of the sun by means of array's of Photo-Voltaic Cells... This is the right step forward... an absolutely essential step in our battle with global warming... The widespread use of Photo-Voltaic Cells, is one of the best ways of generating electricity without producing extra heat in the process.
If we are to come to terms with... and indeed survive global warming... we must urgently phase-out all means of generating electricity that requires HEAT to generate the electricity... Only Photo-Voltaic Cells, Hydro, Wind, Wave and Tidal meets this absolutely essential requirement of generating electricity.
We congratulate the Gold Coast City Council and Mayor Ron Clarke for the foresight and leadership that they have shown in bringing this project to fruition... Hopefully, this is one of many more to come... to prove Photo-Voltaic Cell technology and make it ubiquitous... applied to every building and structure on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia... and the rest of the World...
The widespread use of this solar technology can enable us to generate five times as much energy as is currently used (all sources combined)... This energy will enable us to produce and deliver the water needed to re-establish all the vegetation that has been lost due to Man's ignorance... The vegetation that nature NEEDS to regulate Earth's temperature and climate... To store the excess solar energy, that is now heating the Earth, due to a lack of vegetation... To store the excess solar energy through photosynthesis... as nature has done in the past... Photosynthesis that produced all the stored solar energy, that we call FOSSIL FUEL'S... Fossil fuels that are NO LONGER being produced... Because, Man in his lack of wisdom, stripped the Earth of the vegetation and conditions that produced these fossil fuels -- STORED SOLAR ENERGY !!!
I am very interested in your feedback... So, please add your comments below !!

It's the final, huge giveaway to celebrate my new CreativeLive class! Leave a comment about 1 way you are proud of yourself + RSVP to my new class cr8.lv/fine-art-series (it's free to watch for 24 hrs!) to win a *** Sony Alpha A7C camera + 35mm lens valued at $2,600 USD!***
The biggest lesson I've learned this year: TRUST. I've spent most of my life worrying. I'm anxious by nature. I want to control everyone and everything, none more than myself. My foster son taught me to trust in the natural rhythm of my life. My art taught me to trust in the natural vision of self-expression. But mostly? I taught myself that I am trustworthy and that my experiences are valid. Over time, What I say is worthy, what I do is impactful, and how I inspire others is entirely up to me. TRUST, yes, but in myself above all else. I TRUST that I naturally meet my own expectations. I TRUST that I create important art. I TRUST that I am filled with all the answers to the lessons I have learned and will learn. I TRUST that I can pass that on to you. I'm very proud of that. What is one thing you're proud of?
Can you please help me celebrate my new class "Creating a Fine Art Series" by doing 2 things? 1) Comment here to enter the giveaway, and 2) Click the link cr8.lv/fine-art-series to RSVP for the FREE premiere of my class TOMORROW (Oct 27) at 9am PST! It will replay for free for 24 hours.
Thank you #SonyAlpha for supporting my new class and our community!
I love a bit of still life. This is what I came up with one day when playing with some paint and fruit.
My fruit pics have been good to me recently. Entered them into a few competitions last year and they managed to get an honourable mention in the International Photographers Award 2008 for Fine Art - Still Life and was a nominee in the 3rd Annual Photography Master Cup (which I found out randomly last week when I was checking out who the winners were.

I haven't been able to track down what the absolute last KCS "White Ghost" was, but when I photographed this one in August of 2010, it was already an endangered species. Here, the KCS 2025 is seen working on the west end of Kansas City's Knoche Yard. By May of the next year, it would be wearing a fresh coat of Southern Belle paint.

...and if you do it'll engage a latch to open the door with. Well, I presume it will as I didn't try it out. The photo is of an alley/ginnel/yard door in Cockermouth, Cumbria, UK.
