Rush hour traffic starts to build in Cardiff, whilst 153309 whizzes over the top and into Cardiff Queen Street. 2V47 18:15 Coryton to Radyr.
Today, Danielle and I decided to venture into downtown Ottawa to see what all the "Freedom Convoy 2022" hubbub was about. We didn't venture close to where all the demonstrations were happening (I still avoid crowds like the plague) and stayed south of Laurier Ave.
Things were quiet (perhaps eerily so) and generally peaceful, save for the constant blaring of horns in the distance. From where we were, it sounded like a horn from a passing freight train, only constant.
We came across this Newfoundland-registered pickup truck-cum-convenience store parked on Metcalfe St. (at the corner of Gloucester) and couldn't help but notice the hundreds (thousands?) of signatures and slogans all over the truck, not a square inch uncovered. The first thing that came to mind was signatures people used to get on plaster casts after breaking an arm or a leg.
I wonder if Sharpie washes off...
The canal was constructed for trading purpose during 1863–1873 and named in honor to king of Prussia, Wilhelm I. The canal connects Klaipėda port with River Nemunas, avoiding the Curonian Lagoon.
Ponte Sant Angelo, Rome, Italy, 2015.
Whatever the photographic output, this guy is obviously doing something right. But like with everything else, there is a flipside: if he ever decides to shift his photographic attention and takes less photos of her, be will be in dire need of a bridge over troubled water...
PS it just so happens that the vatican is over to the left of this shot below that sullen cloud :-)
There’s an old adage, “Out of sight, out of mind.” It generally suggests that we soon forget the things with which we don’t have frequent contact. It can also be used to describe a basic animalistic concept that, what you can’t see, may not see you, and as a result, can’t hurt you. There are analogies that can be drawn to human behavior, too. Many animals also know that direct eye contact means confrontation. They avert their eyes and assume a subordinate posture to avoid this. When dealing with photography, however, “what you see is what you’ll get.” That is if you’re lucky and your settings are correct. Look away and you’ll miss that one great shot! #Coyotes
Carla underwent cleft lip repair by the interplast Cusco, Peru surgical team last year, and was treated this morning for her cleft palate, which was wide open. It is common for patients to have a cleft lip repaired one year and a cleft palate the following year. By seperating the surgeries, Interplast doctors give the child time to heal and avoid keeping the patient under anesthesia for too long.
More from 8th street in Goose Island- something got them all on alert. most of the birds were laying down in a gully to avoid the fierce wind
I have this odd habit of taking things out of context for creative purposes. It stems from having visceral reactions to things and situations I encounter in life. And I suppose this is being sustained if not propelled by a desire to connect the emotional component to a visual one. A way of materializing my diverse and often bizarre thought process. This takes many forms, and it's a sort of moving target; I'm never sure what is coming next. To help feed this compulsion, I've gotten I not the habit of carrying my phone with me everywhere when I'm not lugging the Nikon. I never want to be without a camera for fear that some opportunity will be missed. And I'm more inclined, figuratively speaking, to shoot first and ask questions later. If a concept does not bear fruit, I can simply delete the photos later. Much better than to miss something that might have been meaningful, if even for just a few minutes. I came across these forlorn figurines in a discount t store the other day while shopping. They stopped me in my tracks; the haunting facial expressions, each slightly different but all the same. Something so poignant yet vacant in that gaze, as if they were looking right through the viewer. One of my angles in photography is extracting a sense of melancholy from objects intended to bring joy and happiness. There was an aura of sadness here that bordered on heartbreaking. Not sure anyone sensed it other than me.
We give them less importance because of what they do.But they contributed the most in our liberation war.They are farmers.That time they were huge in number.These people are very humble and kind.The most beautiful thing about them is they don't want lot more.They want least foods and clothings to live a miserable war.We only value those who are whealthier than us.Actually we make people feel they are not like us.

Real thing in Ireland, farmers won't remove these old tree circles as they were know as Fairy Forts. When in fact there the remnants of old Ring Forts....have a look at the link
The gosling in front was taking evasive action to keep from getting rammed by its sibling on the grass in Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland.
The slogan of the Eastern Idaho State Fair seemed like an appropriate title for this image of what was voted the fair's most fun ride.
In retrospect, I should of opened up the aperture from f6.3 to f3.2 or even f2.8 to get a higher shutter speed and avoid some of the motion blurring. I think I was so concerned about how the D800 would do at ISO 6400 that I forgot everything else. In the end my fears were unfounded. While there was some noise, it was certainly manageable.

With the northbound M6 at a complete standstill 66044 breezes past with 4O43 03.59 Wakefield Europort to Southampton Western Docks.
I do try and photograph these from the side as the winds can be quite crazy at times. This storm was actually fairly sedate with very little wind on its leading edge.
The water from the waves that buffeted South Pier froze and created a very hazardous walking situation. A wise walker would avoid the experience .
Living in Florida, there are pockets of storms, but running to the sunshine is usually not far away.
As the thunderstorm was leaving (looking towards ENE here, with Mt. Imittos having an alt. of ~1 km), there were multiple pileus clouds, at least in 4 separate clouds here. Another thing that attracted my attention, was the contrail from the plane (a KLM flight, as a friend of mine informed me) avoiding the squall line. Athens, Greece, Nov. 26, 2021. This is a panorama of 5 shots.

Obtained at the Kiski Junction Railroad in Schenley, Pa., the ex-Pennsylvania Railroad X29-class car. The X29 boxcar will be used to show East Broad Top’s creative method of avoiding the costly and time-consuming transfer of freight between standard and three-foot narrow gauge cars by putting 3 foot gauge trucks under standard gauge cars and using the cast aluminum coupler seen on the car to attach it to the smaller narrow gauge cars.
County Wexford, July 2023. Image taken in tricky light and through thick vegetation to avoid disturbing the bird.
This species is an uncommon, but regular passage migrant and winter visitor in Ireland. It breeds in central Europe and Scandinavia, though a very small population breeds in northern Scotland.
Quirky property in the English Lake District
Originally built back in the 17th century to avoid Land Tax!
10 years ago the Old Town (Zona Velha) of Funchal used to be a bad neighborhood avoided by tourists. Thanks to the initiative of some great local artists this changed lately. The local government supported a restoration project called “The Art of Open Doors”. At the same time, new restaurants began to open and now, less than 10 years later, Funchal’s Old Town is an entirely different place. Besides the great street art you can find many good restaurants, Poncha bars, stores and art galleries. The most beautiful painted doors are in the Rua de Santa Maria. I chose three favorites for this little triptych.
Composition, convergent lines to show depth from left to right without usage of high aperature. Avoiding high-lights of the windows,
Another one from Scalber Force, but this time the classic shot. Don’t get me wrong, I do like this one, but I’m always trying to see spectacular locations differently as to avoid the expected. If you haven’t been there, it’s a wonderful spot and when you are down in the canyon it feels like you are in a lost world. That is if there isn’t other photographers there looking for the same experience!
During my appointment yesterday the resident/student/doctor? joining us was being very helpful and jotted down the name of a vitamin on the back of a card for me as my doctor and I talked.
Before the appointment was over my doctor said, "You can ignore the Mammogram appointment on the back of that card."
I flipped it over and laughed a little. I looked up at them and said, "I'm gonna take a picture of this and put it on the internet."
It wasn't all bad weather, sometimes the sun shone.
A 10 mile walk to the lesser visited places of the Dales and not a soul to be seen.
