Hi Ian, Definitely barbaric ! They might be a nuisance to farmers, but they can also be useful "Moles have an important role in the garden: they ventilate the soil and limit the number of pests such as grubs, slugs, mole crickets, and other vegetable pests." Kind regards. Marie-Louise.

Lovely photo of the two kids having fun at no cost ! Very thought provoking note too ! Indeed, too many male occidentals have participated in sex trafficking in south east Asia, so I suppose all men may suffer from a bad reputation :-(, which is a shame. Thanks for sharing and have a good week ahead. Marie-Louise.

Lovely street scene in Manchester , and what an original, musical instrument ! I’d love to hear it played ! A photograher who LOVES the I LOVE sign, and a lady passing by. All very neat and clear. Thanks for sharing. Marie-Louise.

By gum !I wonder if the architect loved playing with mecano when he was little :-) I just don’t know how they can find their way in all this shambles… Well, I know it’s not a shambles really, but a very clever installation that also turns out to be very artistic. And a plus ! My son works for “Manitou” in Ancenis, France, where they created the famous telescopic forklift :-) Have a great weekend. Marie-Louise.

To our traditional way of thinking, it’s difficult to realise these are girls ! So they have dressed them in pink for the disambiguation :-) Lovely scene of Thanksgiving, common to most religions although it tends to be forgotten more and more in our opulent western consumer society. TFS and kind regards. Marie-Louise.

I love pictures of camels in the desert. This is particularly attractive, with the colourful blankets on the camels’backs, which stand out well on the desert colours of the animals and of the background. TFS and kind regards. Marie-Louise.

Cute picture of the mum and its 2 pups, fast asleep on the beach. Interesting note which brought my memory back to November 2015 in South Africa, when we saw a sea-lion lying on the beach. I shall add it in WS. I wonder if their working, or fishing environment is the sea, whereas their resting place is the beach. Thanks for sharing and kind regards. Marie-Louise.

Hi Tomek, This is a very interesting post ! As you say, night shots can make all the difference ! Very effective, black riding knight against the subdued illumination of the cathedral. Thanks for sharing this not so usual entry of Porto. Marie-Louise.

What a beautiful catch both from you and for the fisherman ! He has worked well and will be able to sell his fish for the pleasure of the tables :-) Excellent capture with the fisherman looking intensely ay his day's work. The background is perfect, with the close-up on the fishing boat in the busy port. I also notice the rosary in the cabin.His faith protects him. Have a good day. Marie-Louise.

I like the look of this old paved street "decorated" by dead leaves ! I wonder about the green leaves in the background ! Is it that they haven't died yet in December ? Lovely, colourful wall of the house ; The different coloured stones look very effective. Have a nice weekend. Marie-Louise.
