Yeah, I know, zigzag is nearly the same word, but the pronunciation... *sigh* Z being the softest is the english alphabet, whereas Z is the harshest in german. So for all you foreigen people, it's a
Tzikk Tzakk Rover
like the 'tz' in Blitz, with a bit of an oohmph.
Again the boring backdrop of my bedsheet, because this bloody thing is too big to take it outddors. The seed part of this are the ancient zigzag windowframes used as legs.
If you're wondering why Pete is not smiling - he never is.
Last letter of the Alphabet. Has been fun, and a very different Febrovery experience because I had to plan ahead, at least for the names, as the alphabet isn't CCCSSSRRRRRRY or something like that. On the other hand I was never stressed from "I need a rover for tomorrow!!!" - that didn't happen. They were ready long in advance, which actually is a bit boring.

I'm not sure if these are a type of orchids, but they bloom on the window sill in the lobby of our building also and are very beautiful.

Silhouette using natural light.
This image represents the importance and prevalence of travel in my life. The threshold of the fort’s window symbolizes the ever-changing frame of perspective through which I view the world. I am who I am today because of the exposure I’ve had to so much diversity. To explore the world is to better understand one’s self.
Taken at Golkonda Fort in Hyderabad, India in 110 degree heat.
SCOUT: “What are we doing by the front door, Paddy?”
PADDY: “Daddy want to take a photograph of us in silhouette, Scout.”
SCOUT: “Why? I’d much rather go and play hide-and-seek in the garden. Wouldn’t you, Paddy?”
PADDY: “Yes I would, but first we must pose for him like he asks us. Then we can go and play.”
SCOUT: “Oh goody!”
PADDY: “Daddy says that when he sees my silhouette that I look like Alfred Hitchcock.”
SCOUT: *Scratches head with paw.* “Who is Alfred Hitchcock?”
PADDY: “A famous English film director.”
SCOUT: “And what does your silhouette have to do with Alfred Hitchcock?”
PADDY: “I don’t know.” *Shrugs.* “What I do know is that he directed a film called ‘The Birds’, so maybe he could direct a film about us called, ‘The Bears’.”
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 4th of March is “silhouette”. I don’t know if you can see the resemblance between Alfred Hitchcock and my Paddington Bear, but I certainly can! I thought my bears in silhouette against the antique pyramid glass of my front door would be perfect for the theme. I hope that you think so too, and that it makes you smile!
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
i was just looking through the glass, and somehow he looked back through the wall. maybe the silence was louder than the neon. maybe he wasn’t even there.
Under a thatched roof.
Under a thatched roof in a small rural village in France is a house with a blue door and blue window trims.
It is typical of so many French villages where history is proudly preserved and people take a great pride in their past.
Thatchers is a unique and very old profession that is thriving thanks to the home owners who will replace their roof approximately every 10-15 years.
Externally the walls are repaired using the same methods as when the cottages were originally built.

An amazing view of Lake Louise through this beautiful window of a restaurant inside The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. I'm not sure if the food is as good as the view, but I didn't eat there:-)

I just love this funny Frog outdoor thermometer. It's kind of a fun one. It is almost the Blue Hour here as the sunset is about to end.
Happy Halloween! I would think twice about letting this lost girl in. The image is composed of five photos. The moon came from Nasa and the window frame from Pureping. This is my first attempt at this kind of processing. The work was completed in October 2021, with my trusty Olympus Digital camera and photoshop. Enjoy and stay well.
It really was my birthday on 1st April..
Imagine the slagging I got as a nipper!
My therapist, funnily enough, is always asking me the same question ;-)
Good wishes and photo FAVES greatly appreciated....hehehehe.......
(Just because I'd like to get Explored on my birthday ;-))
I have been looking at this tiny clump of moss on the garage roof adjoining our bathroom, and wondering whether it would look good photographed, usually while brushing my teeth!
The window only opens a few inches as it hits the guttering, so I had to shoot through double glazing. This needed a quick clean both sides (outside achieved by squeezing my arm through the few inches of gap) and I used my 12mm extension tube on my 100-400 lens. In fact I could have saved myself a lot of effort and used my macro lens, but I was already setting up. The extension tube reduced the minimum focussing distance from the 1.8metres to something much shorter.
Depth of field was an issue, so four hand-held (well, resting on the windowframe) frames focus-stacked in PS.

St. Margaret’s Hope
Looking out across Water Sound towards the Orkney Islands of Burray, Hunda and Mainland Orkney in the distance. This view is from one of the windows of the holiday cottage we are staying in on The Ruff at St. Margaret’s Hope. Other windows look out onto the lawn and rocky beach which about this time of day is teeming with rabbits, oyster catchers and other sea birds. Shortly before this shot was taken two seals were swimming around just off the shore.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

There are may areas in Lisbon where you can find old or abandoned buildings. Probably it's the same in almost every city, but perhaps it's a bit easier to find one in here. To me those areas talk less about decadence than about being memories of a time gone. When I think about the London of my first trips in the Eighties and the city I live in now, what I miss is exactly those areas where you could get a grasp of what things looked like in previous times. It's not about that everything is wrong with the continuous renovation and regeneration of dismissed buildings and areas. You can't stop progress, and you can't stop the flow of money behind more and more skyscrapers you see now in London. It's more about the feeling that part of the past is in some way being erased, no stone witnesses left of the past, except for famous sites still well maintained and kept untouched.
Lisbon lost some of his old areas with a huge fire in the Eighties, a time I knew almost nothing about this city. To be able to still find something probably not that ancient but still marking the difference with the modernity that inevitably changes every city is for me something precious, some kind of present from the past, even a quite recent past, which I cannot but cherish.
Got a bit of a fetish at the mo with windows !!!
WindowCleanerisation perhaps ? ;-)))))) (this is not a real word !! well it is in my little world )
Addington St, Manchester
What if a face suddenly appeared at the window what's the best tactic ?
Always carry a shammy leather ;-))))
