Town Hall, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, UK.

I managed to get out this afternoon with a camera. Only walked about two miles I'm afraid. I was much, much better last week, though I may have over done things a little - which has set me back somewhat.
The #Phonak hearing aids I have are nothing short of life changingly good! Even so, wearing them when my ears are not well is a challenge.

I am though kinda[kind of] pleased with this photograph. 🙂

This remarkable colour image from 1915 shows Sir Ernest Shackleton's crew beside their trapped ship 'The Endurance', weeks before it sank in the Antarctic.

The plate was taken by Frank Hurley 110 years ago during Shackletons doomed Trans-Antarctic Expedition, and is one of only a dozen to survive, as Hurley smashed all his other glass plates to prevent him being tempted to return to the doomed ship to retrieve them.

This is original colour and has not colourised. The image was cleaned & enhanced by Stuart Humphryes.

Stuart Humphryes, @official_babelcolour, cleaned & enhanced this autochrome taken at the first Paris Air Show, at the Grand Palais, by Léon Gimpel, on September 30th, 1909, less than 6 years after the Wright Brothers' first successful flight.

This is the autochrome's original colour, and has not been not colourised.

My firts post on Pixelfed must of course be a photograph of the two things a hold most dear in live, apart from my two lovely daughters, and those are: my wife Loes and the mother of all arts…architecture.

It is said that the mirror is the symbol of imagery or of awareness. The mirror has the ability to copy the visible reflections of the world in its own figural reality. Scheler and other philosophers associated mirrors with thought because it is a mental instrument that is the reflection of the universe and enables you to observe yourself. Frequently mirrors emerge in legends and fairytales, showing what happened in the past or what will happen in the future or what is happening now from a very far distance.
The mirror always tells the truth. Without need for the masks we people wear to protect ourselves, mirrors reflect only what they see. In a way mirrors are able to perceive the soul of ourselves, as well as of the people and things surrounding us, as they are without cover. This is partially due to the fact that what we see when we look into the mirror is actually not reality. Rather, the reflection in the mirror is an inverted version of the world we live in. Or is it the other way around?
