The Basket Weaver
This is Owen Jones, an Oak Swill Basket Weaver.
Oak swill baskets are traditional to South Lakeland and have been made in this area for centuries. They are strong, durable, oval baskets made by weaving thin strips of coppiced oak around a hazel rim. Once, they had many industrial and agricultural purposes.
Craftsmen like Owen are keeping this traditional and artisanal craft alive. Here, he demonstrates how to make an oak swill basket. Each one takes him around five hours to complete.
Owen was taught by one of the last generations of "swillers" who had learned his trade apprenticed in a "swillshop".
This craft is on the Red List of Critically Endangered Crafts kept by a charity called the Heritage Crafts Association (HCA).
You can find Owen at events in the Lake District and North West England. Here he is at Damson Day 2004, South Lakeland.
A pair of Black Swans
Black Swans (Cygnus atratus) at Villa Barbarigo, Valsanzibio, Veneto, Italy.

Villa Barbarigo Baroque Garden
17th-century rural villa at Valsanzibio, south of Padova, Veneto, Italy.
It has a remarkable Baroque garden designed by Bernini, with statuary, a topiary maze, and waterworks. At one time, it was accessible by gondola from Venice.
Shown here is Diana’s Pavilion, which acts as the entrance, and the Rainbow Fountain on a very hot day.
The Valsanzibio villa, a testament to the wealth and importance of the Barbarigo family, was constructed between 1665 and 1696. This family, one of the most affluent and influential in Venice at the time, sought refuge here from the devastating plague that was ravaging the city.
The Pizzoni Ardemani family have owned the estate since 1929.

Home to Roost
At Martinmere, Burscough, Lancashire. In the autumn and winter, the WWT wetlands here are home to 50,000+ Pink-footed Geese that migrate down from Iceland. During the day they disperse to find food. At sundown, they all come back over the course of an hour or so, a magnificent and noisy event. A rather Turner-esque sunset too.

Keep Left
Greenwich Foot Tunnel, London. Under the Thames, towards Island Gardens. Opened in 1902 linking Greenwich on South Bank of the Thames, with the Isle of Dogs on the North bank.
Now part of the Thames Path.
The cast-iron tunnel is 1,215 feet (370.2 m) long, 50 feet (15.2 m) deep and has an internal diameter of about 9 feet (2.74 m).
Bronze Horses
San Marco (Saint Mark's) Cathedral, Venice, Veneto, Italy.
Detail from the main western façade. These four gilded bronze horses were among the early spoils from sacked Constantinople to Venice after the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204).
They were part of a quadriga adorning the Constantinople Hippodrome and, so, the only equestrian team to survive from classical Antiquity. In the mid-thirteenth century, they were installed prominently on the main façade of San Marco.
They symbolise Venice's military triumph over rival Byzantium and its newfound imperial status as the successor to the Byzantine Empire.
Since 1974, the original four horses have been preserved inside, having been substituted with replicas on the balcony over the central portal.

Palazzo dei Priori, Perugia, Umbria, Italy. The facade that gives onto Corso Vannucci has a Gothic portal, dated 1346.
The two lateral pillars are each surmounted by a griffin clasping a calf in its claws. This is a symbolical allusion to the guild of butchers, one of the main funders of the construction. This is one of them.

Laguna di Venezia
Crossing Venice Lagoon by leaving the port of Fondamente Nuove in Venice on the way to the island of Murano.
The Venetian Lagoon stretches from the River Sile (north) to the River Brenta (south), with a surface area of around 550 square kilometres. It's 8% land, including Venice itself and many smaller islands. About 11% is permanently covered by open water, or canal, as the network of dredged channels is called, while around 80% consists of mud flats, tidal shallows and salt marshes. The lagoon is the largest wetland in the Mediterranean Basin.

I Am Damo Suzuki
Tribute to the late great Damo Suzuki. Vocalist with Can, 1970-73, one of the most influential German bands ever.
Afterwards, he performed live improvised music with local musicians whom he described as “sound carriers”, forming what was dubbed Damo Suzuki’s Network.
Born 16 January 1950; died 9 February 2024.
My photo collage attempts to reflect Damo's musical style - improvised, of the moment, experimental, idiosyncratic, and without rules.
Taken in Coventry at The Tin Music and Arts, 12 February 2020, playing with local musicians The Resurrection Men (Casey, Miles, Mochrie, Parge and Wurzul).
“When by accident something happens, it’s much more interesting than if you plan it. I like to live the whole of my life quite free like this.”

The Lion and the Griffin
Palazzo dei Priori in Perugia, Umbria, Italy.
Two large corbels above the Gothic portal support copies of bronze statues of the griffin, symbol of the city, and the Guelph lion; the originals are kept in the entrance hall of the palace and were made in 1274, probably for a vanished fountain by Arnolfo di Cambio.
The chains hanging from the statues and the iron bar are those taken from the gates of Torrita di Siena by Perugian soldiers during the Battle of Torrita in 1358. They make an excellent pigeon roost.

Perugia - Palazzo dei Priori
The Palazzo dei Priori or Comunale is one of Italy's best examples of a public palace from the communal era (11th century).
It's located in the central Piazza IV Novembre in Perugia, Umbria. It extends along Corso Vannucci up to Via Boncambi. It still houses part of the municipality and, on the third floor, the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria.
It takes its name from the Priori, the highest political authority governing the city in the medieval era. Built in Gothic style between 1293 and 1443, in several phases.

Woman with Ferret
Meatball is a fully grown male Ferret (a Hoblet) with typical sable colouration. He is very sociable and loves a cuddle.
The name "Ferret" is derived from the Latin furittus, meaning "little thief", a likely reference to the common Ferret penchant for secreting away small items. Latin Name Mustela furo. They have been domesticated since ancient times.
At the Lakes and Borders Ferret Welfare and Rescue exhibition at Westmorland County Fest, Cumbria.

Blue and Pink Wildcat
Newtonmore Wildcat trail, Cairngorms, Scotland, the area around Newtonmore is home to real Wildcats, which are both rare and elusive.
To help conservation, the town has a woodland walking trail of up to 10km.
In addition, residents and businesses are encouraged to paint their own wildcat sculptures in any way they like and display them. It's a community arts project called The Wildcat Experience.
So the walk can be a ‘treasure hunt’ in which you set out to find as many painted sculptures of the Scottish Wildcat as you can – they’re hidden in gardens, up trees and behind walls. Children and Adults love it!
This is just one example of the 132 painted examples, which really stands out in bright blue and pink in the Highlands. Yes it really is blue an pink paint!

Torre pendente di Pisa
The foundations of the tower were laid on August 9 1173, and the work on the ground floor of the white marble began on the 14th.
The tower began to lean during construction in 1778, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weight, and it worsened through the completion of construction in the 14th century.
By 1990, the tilt had reached 5.5 degrees. The structure was stabilized between 1993 and 2001, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees.

Silverdale Silhouette
Winter silhouette at Silverdale beach, looking south across Morecambe Bay, with the tide ebbing and Heysham in the distance. Just in Lancashire, on the Cumbria border, it's designated an AONB and an SSSI.
Morecambe Bay is a large estuary in northwest England, just to the south of the Lake District National Park. It is the largest expanse of intertidal mudflats and sand in the UK, covering 310 square kilometres. It's also an important wildlife site, with abundant birdlife and varied marine habitats.
The extensive sandflats are the remains of a vast outwash plain established by glacial meltwaters as the last ice age waned 11,000 years ago.

Montalcino in Winter
Montalcino, Toscana, Italy, is the hilltop town home to the famous Brunello DOCG red wine.
The town takes its name from the oak trees that once covered the terrain. The very high site of the town provides views over the Asso, Ombrone and Arbia valleys of Tuscany. These are dotted with olive orchards, vineyards, fields and villages. Vines and olive orchards dominate the lower slopes of the Montalcino hill itself.
Sir John Barbirolli
The bronze bust of Sir John Barbirolli (1899-1970), one of the great classical conductors and cellists, Outside Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, in the appropriately named Barbirolli Square. Artist: Byron Howard. The bust is three times larger than life-size.
He was particularly associated with the Hallé Orchestra but performed with many others. Barbirolli was also associated with the music of British composers such as Elgar, Delius and Vaughn Williams in the concert hall and on record. However, his repertoire includes Mahler, Schubert, Beethoven, Sibelius, Verdi and Puccini.
Look closely, and there are a few raindrops on his forehead...

Torre pendente di Pisa
The foundations of the tower were laid on August 9 1173, and the work on the ground floor of the white marble began on the 14th.
The tower began to lean during construction in 1778, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weight, and it worsened through the completion of construction in the 14th century.
By 1990, the tilt had reached 5.5 degrees. The structure was stabilized between 1993 and 2001, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees.

Salted Cod
For Sale at the Port of Lancaster Smoke House, Glasson Dock, Lancashire.
Glasson Dock, also known as Glasson, is a village in Lancashire, England, south of Lancaster at the mouth of the River Lune.
Glasson was originally a small farming and fishing community.
In 1779, the Lancaster Port Commission decided to build a dock at Glasson because of the difficulties of navigating up the River Lune to the port at Lancaster. Construction was finished by March 1787, when the dock opened and could hold up to 25 merchant ships.
Salted Cod has been a mainstay of European trade and cuisine for many centuries.
Holy Spirit Cathedral, Minsk, Belarus
Built 1633-1642, initially - Catholic church of the Bernardine Convent.
The cathedral of complex fate, many times was partially destroyed, rebuilt. During the Soviet period it was closed and used for other purposes.
It is very strange that one of the main Orthodox churches of the city has no domes, and for the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit the domes should be green. However, the cathedral was formerly Catholic, and was not remodeled after conversion to Orthodoxy.

The statue of wojt holding the key to the city and the royal charter was installed in 2014 and commemorates Minsk receiving the Magdeburg Law in 1499

Perfección
Me flipa esta foto. La adoro. La pondría en la pared para no dejar de mirarla.
El color terracota de los ladrillos, perfectamente logrado en la pintura de las paredes. La rica arquitectura representada en sus materiales, formas y colores. Su geometría. Esas luces y sombras, esas formas generando un encuadre dinámico. Y como no, el gato con veteado anaranjado lamiéndose al fondo, llevándose todas las miradas, cual guinda del pastel.
Simplemente la adoro. Espero que la disfrutéis vosotros también.

Bitterns
The artwork by Will Young depicts Bitterns at Leighton Moss RSPB reserve.
It is permanently displayed at Carnforth Railway Station, Platform 2, Lancashire, UK.
Sponsored by Lancaster and Morecambe College, The Furness Line and the RSPB.
In 1997, this bird was on the edge of extinction in the UK with only 11 males left, but thanks to dedicated conservation, it had increased to 167 males in 2017.
As well as being rare they are hard to spot and elusive, as they don't have bright blue and yellow plumage.
