Hello, everyone! I'm finally back, after four months of absence. Originally, I hadn't planned to take such a long time away from Flickr, but life had other plans....Well, I missed you all, hope you've missed me too. I decided to start with my very favorite shot I've done this year. So, here we go again!
Estas navidades he pasado parte de ellas en Sevilla y claro esta que no podía dejar de fotografiar su alumbrado Navideño, así que hoy voy ha mostraros parte de el y ya en mas días os mostrare otras cosas de estas fechas por Sevilla.
Deciros que este alumbrado cambiaba de colores y que depende del punto de vista también cambiaba .
Espero sea de vuestro agrado
Feliz 2023
Happy mid-Winter Solstice to all!!!!
The unchanging exterior of Woodchester Mansion (nr. Stroud), a 19th Century Victorian Gothic Masterpiece mysteriously abandoned mid-construction in 1873. Hidden in a secluded Cotswold valley, it is untouched by time and the modern world. This Grade 1 Listed Building has been saved from dereliction, but will never be completed. The carvings in Woodchester Mansion are among the finest of their kind in the World.
A wonderful place to visit as you can see quite clearly in places how it was built.....a stunning and unusual building indeed!!
There are also many ghostly stories as you would expect from a building as unusual as this......some can be read below in the first link.
And if you fancy a ghost hunt then the second link will take you to the other side!!!

With a new smartphone, what's more, a panorama ! Sorry I'm so slow these days. The phone arrived on Friday - a big step to upgrade to one of these from a very old, cheap android, so please be patient with me, I am finding it ever so confusing - I hope I haven't made a big mistake. As 'smartphones' go, it's so smart, it's outwitting me - but it's mine now, it's delivered and I signed for it - too late !
You might find this music appropriate - hope it makes you smile :-)

I would request no multiple invites please, thanks.
The Shambles is a historic street in York, England, featuring preserved medieval buildings, some dating back as far as the fourteenth century. The street is narrow with many timber-framed buildings with jettied floors that overhang the street by several feet. It was once known as The Great Flesh Shambles, probably from the Anglo-Saxon Fleshammels (literally 'flesh-shelves'), the word for the shelves that butchers used to display their meat. In 1885, thirty-one butchers' shops were located along the street, but now none remain.
Mesa Verde National Park was established in 1906 to preserve the archeological heritage of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home for over 700 years, from 600 to 1300 CE. Today, the park protects nearly 5,000 known archeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings.
Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The structure built by the Anasazi ancestral Puebloans is located in Mesa Verde National Park in their former homeland region. They occupied the Mesa Verde region from about 450 AD to 1300 AD. It was discovered 1888 by two cowboys looking for stray cattle.

La luz tiende su velo de plata sobre el mar.
Sosegadas, las olas subliman el silencio
de los tímidos pasos del día
aventurándose en su costumbre
de ruidos ascendentes
La piel se recupera y va asumiendo
el esplendor del sol que ya prodiga
su lujo de colores y relieves
el mar azul, el avaro espejo
en que se mira el cielo soleado
y en su vaivén el rumor de las olas
sugiere un largo viaje a la memoria.
Cada día renueva su memoria viejos días
en la unidad de tiempo que es la vida
The light spawns its silver light over the sea.
Pacified, the waves magnify the silence
of the feeble steps of the day
venturing into their habit
of increasing noises.
The skin gets over and is assuming
the splendor of the sun which already lavishes
its luxury of colors and reliefs,
the blue sea, the greedy mirror
in which the sunny sky watches itself
and in its swinging the sound of the waves
suggests a long trip to memory.
Each day renews its memory, old days
in the time unit which is the life.

Oh, the sweet mystery of the canals of Venice. Houses of history, palaces of maritime power and the enduring gondolas transporting people through the "roads" of water add to the romantic mystique of the city of canals.

Las Atarazanas Reales de Barcelona (en catalán Drassanes Reials de Barcelona) son un conjunto arquitectónico civil gótico situado en la fachada marítima de la ciudad y que se comenzó a construir a finales del siglo XIII, durante el reinado de Pedro III de Aragón.
Estas atarazanas no fueron las primeras que dispuso la ciudad. Se tienen noticias de que ya se había construido otra al lado de la puerta Regomir tocando la muralla. Durante la conquista de Mallorca y de Valencia por Jaime I, en el año 1243, ya figura documentada una segunda atarazana situada "hacia poniente". A partir de la construcción de las nuevas murallas en el siglo XIV, las atarazanas situadas al pie de la montaña de Montjuïc pasan a ser las únicas de las que dispone la ciudad.

it doesn't look so impressive when I saw it while driving ... two separate cloud formations were high up to the "sky" ... at the first available stop I could only capture this moment ...

Foto: Románico catalán. Restos del monasterio románico benedictino de Sant Serni (o Sant Sadurní, o San Saturnino) de Tavérnoles en el Alto Urgel (Anserall, Valls de Valira), provincia de Lérida (Cataluña). Historia (o leyenda) sucinta de este santo mártir tal como me han contado en el Valle del Adour (Francia). Unos jóvenes paganos querían sacrificar un buey para homenajar a sus dioses. Saturnino que recorría la región con ánimo de evangelizarla, quiso oponerse al sacrificio. Por venganza, los paganos ataron al santo al buey y lo azuzaron. Despavorido, el animal huyó arrastrando a Saturnino que se rompió la cabeza…

Restes du monastère bénédictin roman de Sant Serni (ou Sant Sadurní, ou San Saturnino) de Tavérnoles dans le haut Urgel (Anserall, Valls de Valira), province de Lérida (Catalogne). Brève histoire (ou légende) de ce saint martyr comme on me l'a raconté dans la vallée de l'Adour (France). Certains jeunes païens voulaient sacrifier un bœuf pour rendre hommage à leurs dieux. Saturnin, ou Sernin,, qui parcourait la région avec l'intention de l'évangéliser, voulut s'opposer au sacrifice. Pour se venger, les païens attachèrent le saint au bœuf et l'éperonnèrent. Terrifié, l'animal s'enfuit, entraînant Saturninus, qui lui cassa la tête...

Soon all the lotus flowers will be blooming on the lake this summer. They look like hundreds of little lamps when the sun is going down.
Continuamos por la playa de la Huelga en esta ocasión metido entre las rocas y el Castro de las Gaviotas al fondo!

Another very famous photo stop on Buttermere in the Lake District.Hopefully I will return here in winter when the single lonely tree is more isolated out in the lake. Still an amazing place with lots of opportunity with its beauty.

Una Paperina col babbo passò e lì s’incanto’
“Papà, pappare i papaveri, come si fa?”
“Non puoi tu pappare i papaveri” disse Papà.
A little duck with his father passed and there he enchanted
"Dad, eat the poppies, how do you do it?"
"You can't eat poppies," Father said.

This was an easier photograph to take than one fifty yards to the left, this damage is only to some decking from a restaurant
On the left people lost everything, the sea surge eroded the foundation, the ground floor disappeared & with it all their belongings, the previous shot showed the owners looking for belongings
Water pressure forced the garage door open on the opposite side of the house & then bent it an ninety degrees. Whilst the house still stands it will have to be demolished, houses identified in biblical terms with a red cross & a "phone number".
Almost every other home in this area was declared to be uninhabitable, even those that are are now deemed to be fine will not be able to stand another storm, the sea is at the back door & cannot be stopped
Twenty year ago these where desirable homes
