A relief to get back to my house and unload it. Quite literally on the track here, but not in the sense of it being banger raced :-)
A lovely walk from the village to the Canal du Midi, Lac de Jouarres and back. and, yes the Pyracantha really is that vibrant!
Many of you know Ive been through hard times lately. Most of you don't know all that it entails.
I was in a very very very dark relationship. I won't go into all the details but it was very dark sick and disturbed. It wasn't until I saw a documentary about a man who killed a few of his wife's and his patterns of behavior that I finally realized I couldn't ignore my stomach any longer.
Today I know I was such a lonely person to have been able to marry a man I was never attracted to and never loved. How lonely and sad was I to have been able to do it.
Packing up my home and all my stuff before leaving the country I remember folding up my wedding dress and bursting into tears. I thought being married would be it. Would mean I made it across the horribly cold and cruel ocean. Everyone said I was a beautiful bride. I just remember being miserable feeling ugly and being embarrassed of him….
Then I fell pregnant. I don't even get how as we would never have sex. I mean the sex was terrible. And by him trying to control me and make me an emotional mess he wouldn't have sex with me with the most ridiculous reasons. And I felt so pathetic having to complain about it when I hated sleeping with him in the first place. But he always said if we cheat or get divorced one of us will die. So.. I was constantly scared.
He got me pregnant when he started to realize I was onto all his lies and stories. I constantly asked questions and would display disbelief at everything he said, Especially when it started to be against my family.
The doctor said I have a very big fyroid in my uterus and that it could affect the baby and that I have to stay calm and still for the first trimester as to not abort. My husband would come home everyday and pick fights with me about made up stories just to make me upset. I would cry for hours and he would scream at me "Look at what your family is doing to you !!"
As I said, I was in a very dark place.
I didn't care anymore about what people think. I finally realized I could hate myself so much and hate my life so much to choose to live in a dumpster, but what has this baby done to deserve to be born in one? And what do i want to teach this human about life? If Im too scared to live it.
This pregnancy woke me up in ways I never thought I would wake up.
I was victimizing myself my entire life and I wasn't gonna do that as a mother.
I packed up my things in the middle of the night and slept on the sofa.
In the morning he called me to the room…His breath stank so badly as he would never (ever) brush his teeth. I remember pulling away, The entire room smelled of his stench. He asked me to kiss him I think and I said no and just stared at him blankly. "Whats the matter now?" he asked " I can't believe a word that comes out of your mouth anymore and I will not live like that! You have one last chance to tell me the truth or its over."
He started screaming at me of course ,I left to the lounge waited quietly for him to leave the house as his driver was down stairs. He screamed until he walked out of the door and then I called a taxi with all my things in plastic bags and left.
4 days later I packed the house up while he was in Italy. And the day after the trucks came I had an abortion.
The next time I saw him was 2 weeks later at the divorce court.
That same night I left the country and I can't even bare to think about going back.
My due date was the 24th of this month. As the date comes closer it itches at my skin and burns on my cheeks as a tear falls down.
Its not a sadness about motherhood. Its a sadness of a fantasy. I thought being married and pregnant is the end of all loneliness and hardships. I thought reaching something that always seemed out of reach would bring happiness.
Today I have myself and I own my life like I never did before.
And I thank him for showing me how to set my self free of that dumpster.
I have no doubt I will be a mother one day, But now I know it can't come at any price. And if I go after the right thing for the wrong reasons it will crumble to pieces.
I still haven't found my inspiration for new work. That is something he was killing off in me and its still struggling to wake up. But I will not rest until its back.
I am now 9 months after the worst I have ever experienced and its time to wake up, Forgive, smile, and Love.

Ilaria is stranger n.9 on my 100 strangers project. This picture it's my first one portrait by night... so it's even a kind of test to my new nikon d5100... what can i say? this camera it's amazing at high iso... anyway... let's talk about my capture! Ilaria was walkin with Giorgia and Viviano (stranger #10 and #11) in the streets of gallipoli center, near the sea... i was going back to home after 4 hours of searching strangers for my project, and i encountered Ilaria and her friends on my way so i decided they were pretty good for finishing well my day project! They were so kind and Ilaria was the first one to pose for me. I showed to her the pictures and she choosed this one... i hope she watched it on flickr and she like it! :-) Thanks Ilaria!
This picture is #9 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

And again I have to post something that Piotrek posted last year. Fortunately, our framing was different again, so at least it's not a 1:1 copy.
The title sums up the inspiration for a trip to Germany last year. That is, visiting my sister in NRW, at whom we had a set-off base. The two of us visited some German railway pecularities (Piotrek longer by one week), with particular emphasis on diesel locomotives and mechanical signalling.
Well, we actually have these two features in this picture. It's Monday, July 25 in Klanxbüll in Schleswig-Holstein (more precisely - North Frisia), and the InterCity train no. 2311 from Westerland auf Sylt to Stuttgart is passing the entrance semaphore of the local station, or simply passing loop. At the forefront is a duo of locomotives of the 216 class (the first one number #390), which are becoming rare at DB Fernverkehr, diesel engines of the design dating back to the first half of the 1970s.
I do not want to write more on the circumstances of this photo and the area around, because this is a good reason for another story that surely appears soon. So let's focus on the photo and very intreresting (from Polish point of view) feature - an old entry semaphore installed also on the left track.
About a title. Well, literally everyone knows that the Germans introduced a special killer-offer in the period June - August 2022, a ticket for 9 euros, which entitled to an unlimited number of trips in a calendar month, by means of regional public transport. Therefore, we could travel by S-Bahn, RegionalBahn and RegionalExpress trains, regional buses, all public transport in cities, and even several ferries in the country (I haven't tested this one though). It would be a terminal sin not to take the advantage of such an opportunity.
Paradoxally, the train in the picture is not covered by this promotion, because IC and ICE trains were forbidden fruits for 9ET holders, just same like FlixTrains.
And I'm already awaiting a ticket for 49 euros and the next trip to Germany, longer this year. This is almost certain.

I znów muszę wrzucić coś, co Piotrek wrzucał w ubiegłym roku. Ale na szczęście znów kadrowanie nasze było nieco odmienne, więc nie jest to kopia 1:1.
Tytuł podsumowuje inspirację do wycieczki po Niemczech w ubiegłym roku. To znaczy, odwiedzin siostry, u której była baza wypadowa. We dwójkę zwiedziliśmy nieco niemieckich kolejowych smaczków, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem lokomotyw spalinowych oraz sygnalizacji kształtowej.
No właśnie, te dwa aspekty mamy na tym obrazku. Jest poniedziałek 25 lipca w miejscowości Klanxbüll w Szlezwiku-Holsztynie (tu nawet bardziej ściśle - Fryzji Północnej), a pociąg InterCity 2311 relacji Westerland auf Sylt - Stuttgart mija właśnie semafor wjazdowy miejscowej stacji, czy po prostu mijanki. Na czele duet coraz rzadszych w DB Fernverkehr lokomotyw serii 216 (pierwsza o numerze 390), starych, bo pochodzących z pierwszej połowy lat 70. diesli.
Nie chciałbym się więcej rozwodzić teraz o okolicznościach powstania fotografii i okolicy tego szlaku, bo to jest temat na inną opowieść, która szybko się pojawi. Skupmy się więc na zdjęciu - zaciekawia bardzo rzadki u nas (w Polsce) widok, czyli semafor kształtowy wjazdowy na torze niewłaściwym (lewym). O ograniczeniu prędkości do 140 km/h na takim niezelektryfikowanym szlaku nie wspomnę, bo u nas takich prędkości się nie osiąga, zresztą nie specjalnie byłoby czym, zważywszy na wieczne niedomaganie SU160...
Ale jeszcze tytuł. Otóż chyba już dosłownie każdy wie, że Niemcy wprowadzili w okresie czerwiec - sierpień specjalną killer-ofertę, bilet za 9 euro, który uprawniał do nieograniczonej liczby podróży w miesiącu kalendarzowym, środkami transportu publicznego komunikacji regionalnej. W związku z tym do dyspozycji mamy pociągi S-Bahn, RegionalBahn i RegionalExpress, autobusy lokalne, komunikację miejską w miastach, a nawet kilka promów. Nie skorzystać z takiej okazji byłoby grzechem najcięższym.
Paradoksalnie, pociąg na obrazku nie łapie się na tę promocję, gdyż IC oraz ICE to owoc zakazany dla posiadaczy 9ET, podobnie jak pociągi Flix.
A ja już ostrzę sobie zęby na bilet za 49 euro i wycieczka do NIemiec, dłuższa w tym roku, jest już prawie pewna.

Pasamos tantas veces por el mismo sitio pero sin mirar. Justo esto me ha pasado con estos círculos en Ponferrada (León).
