Once he has his backpack on, Kobuk wants to GO. He agreed to make a bokeh appearance at the trailhead, though.

“We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lost sight of the reason for the journey, or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way.”
Today was so good! I was searching for locations again, and I found another place not too far from where I shooted yesterday. I love this place more and more after each day, but that is probably because of spring! How the weather is turning warmer, and everything is greener! And I love my new dress, that I bought for my own money that I have worked for in my new job :D
While editing this I was thinking "Where am I even going with this" and I have to say, I am very proud of this one. I hope you like it also.
Ah i was so hesitant about posting this, and will probably end up deleting it, im too self concious, urr i dunnno :S Anyhow, my take of fears. I think im going to start a set of phobias, see if my brain can tackle that one.
However, it is actually unreal the amount of times the topic of weight creeps up into conversations, the media has it drilled into our heads! Even song lyrics too;
"Everthing's cool as long as i'm getting thinner" - The Fear, Lily Allen
"We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just wont eat" - Rockstar, Nickelback
Come on man!
PS,i dont have this 'obesophobia', its just weird how much coverage weight loss/gain, etc gets in the media and that.

I realized once I uploaded this to my computer that it looks a lot like a picture that I did a few days ago... the likeness was unintentional, sorry.
For one last time, 66199 drags a train of 36 CDAs out of Treviscoe. After today the wagons will have two avenues they can go, the cleaner ones have a chance of preservation, the more worn and tired ones will be cut up at St Blazey. Whatever happens, we can agree that the wagons were a sterling workhorse and have become an icon of Cornish Railways.

Number: CT-4244
Name: Dagger
Rank: ARC Sergeant
Unit: 253rd Elite Legion, 1st Regiment
Equipment: DC-15S Carbine blaster, make-shift dagger made from LAAT shrapnel, 2 thermal detonators, pauldron, kama.
"Alright, men," I began, turning to face my troopers. "You've got a choice to make. You don't have to follow me into this one, because what I'm suggesting is against every rule in the book. But I cannot in good conscience blow up this entire planet-- and everyone on it, when we know full well that there's a more peaceful option."
There was a pause. Then Winslow, snapping his arm up in salute, stepped forward.
"I'm with you to the end, Sir," he declared.
N'Case hesitated, but moved to attention beside him. "Yeah, I'm in too."
"Good," I grinned, strapping my gear back on.
"Now, let's find those mineshafts."
We made our way across some old trenches that we used earlier in our assault on Vandos. It was a wasteland. Considering that our business here was almost finished, the fighting on the ground was minimal. It broke my heart to see the bodies of the Vandosians. This was their home, and we brought the fight to them, but . . . why? How important were these crystals that we should slaughter these people in their homes and destroy their planet?
We came to a stop. Faced with a fortifying wall that stretched as far as we could see, I sighed, removing my helmet for a bit of fresh air.
"Have a look around. See if you can find out where we are," I instructed them.
Not a second had passed before Winslow was pointing at something.
"Hey Sir, look at that." I tracked his finger to a small metal grate in the wall.
N'Case saw it, too, and went over.
"Check out all this mining equipment."
He knelt down, opening up an old cargo box to rummage through.
I smirked.
"Looks like we've found ourselves the mineshaft."
The grate was easy to get through. Our blasters made short work of its frail metal structure. One at a time, we dropped down into the tunnels, keeping a wary eye out for any clankers. The last thing we wanted was a firefight with all the crystals around. As we made our way through the catacombs, we spotted two B1 battle droids patrolling a corridor. N'Case took two shots. Dead. Hoping no one heard us, I ordered my men to keep moving. After half a cycle, we reached the research facility; the bottom part of it, anyway. "Are you sure we should be do'n this?" N'Case asked, for about the fifth time. "Yes!" Winslow fired back. I could hear the agitation in his voice. "If you have a problem with this," I broke in, sticking a charge to one of the supports, "you can report it to the Admiral." As I set one last charge on the stilts, Winslow checked to make sure N'Case activated his right; he had.
Once we made it back to the surface, we waited. "Any second now," Winslow muttered to himself. In the distance, we could see the facility begin to crumble. We did it. "Well done, men." I sheathed my dagger. "And thank you."

A brilliant place to visit and a surprisingly large nature reserve in the middle of one of the worlds greatest and largest cities. You can see the urban backdrop and aeroplanes over the city but at times you will feel as if you are in the countryside. You will see many common wildlife as well as rare birds dropping in as well. It has quite an impressive list for a reserve in an urban area. A number of birds especially which are not found in urban areas are resident or passage migrants here.
City oasis
WWT London has been voted the UK’s Favourite Nature Reserve. Close to the heart of the capital, it is a haven for birds, wildlife and people.

London Wetland Centre is an idyllic spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the City for a walk or to indulge in an afternoon of bird watching from one of our six hides. The reserve is easily accessible with pathways and bridges among the pools, meadows and gardens.
But if you want to learn a bit more about the centre - how it was created and the work we do here - you can join one of our tours held daily at 11.30am and 2.30pm. There’s no need to book and the tour is free with admission to the centre.
Our guides will explain how London Wetland Centre was created from four redundant Thames Water reservoirs. They will also point out wildlife spotted on the day.
Over 200 species of bird have been recorded on site since we opened in 2000. Also making their home amongst the 300,000 plants and 27,000 trees we planted during the centre’s creation are water voles, dragonflies, frogs, snakes, slow worms, bats, newts and butterflies, to name just a few.
You can also join one of our wardens at 3.00pm each day as they feed the birds in World Wetlands. Just turn up and the walks are free with admission to the centre.
As well as our regular walks we frequently run specialist walks and talks on everything from plant identification and reptiles to bird watching and bird song. See our Whats On section for forthcoming events.
And every day you will find our ‘Guide in the hide’ who will be able to point out the birds you can see on our lakes and lagoons.
•Guided tours, daily at 11.30am and 2.30pm
•Bird feed tour, daily at 3.00pm

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit?
The London Wetland Centre is a beautiful place to visit all year round with the landscape and wildlife changing constantly with the seasons.
Spring is perfect for wild flowers and songbirds. In the summer you can relax outside with a picnic and enjoy the sound of marsh frogs, crickets and warblers. Our sustainable gardens are beautiful at that time of year, bursting into a blaze of colour that lasts all summer.
Autumn is great for seeing rare birds passing through on migration and winter is the best time to observe the flocks of wild duck or catch sight of an elusive bittern, regular visitors over recent winters.
Why not combine your visit with one of our special events such as late night opening, some of our animal themed events or a twilight bat walk?
What should we wear?
The centre has tarmac/firm level paths throughout and so any comfortable shoes will suffice. It is worth bringing an umbrella or waterproof if rain is forecast as the reserve covers more than 40 hectares and it can take a few minutes to reach shelter.
When should we pay?
Please pay at the admissions desk on the day of your visit. The centre would very much appreciate if you could arrange one payment per group. This will speed up your admission into the centre. If you are paying individually please be prepared to wait.
Some of our group can’t walk far, is it still suitable?
Yes, there is plenty to see and do in our visitor centre and there are numerous benches scattered throughout the reserve. It is also possible to book a wheelchair or electric buggy to help you travel around the reserve.

•Membership volunteers (especially weekends)
•Corporate work groups - weekdays
•Events volunteers (at weekends)
We are also interested to hear from people with specialist skills that may be of use to WWT. Currently we are particularly looking for good birders who are also great communicators.
Please call Chris Elliott on 020 8409 4400.
Membership volunteers
Are you inspired by wetlands and their wildlife? Could you help save them?
Do you have an outgoing, friendly personality to engage with visitors at WWT London Wetland Centre?
We are looking for volunteers to join us to actively recruit members for London Wetland Centre. Can you spare at least two mornings or afternoons a month to help us with this worthy cause?

Work experience
WWT London Wetland Centre takes five work experience students a year for one working week at a time. Students spend each day working with a different department.
Work experience must be part of the schools programme and placements are subject to interview.
Demand for placements is very high and there are no remaining openings in 2012.
With limited staffing resources we very much regret that the London Wetland Centre cannot accept students on the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.

I too used the GoArt programme and I agree with Ruth it was great to experiment with.
MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
The proposal to actually develop a navy raised some eyebrows across the CER in early 1981. Everyone had always joked about putting an aircraft carrier in Lake Elizabeth, but after a series of successful wars against the neighboring DEW the nation suddenly had a coastline to secure.
Higher-ups in the Air Force objected to the program which would undoubtedly steal budget from their strategic bomber and interceptor deterrents. Eventually a compromise was reached wherein the Air Force would get to actually produce the Ox-38 VTOL fighter developed some months earlier.
Of course nobody in the country had any idea how to actually build a destroyer, but if the Tanzimations could figure out airplanes then the Efrikkans could figure out boats.
My last sunset of the year. I rarely use the word epic, but this evening, the light was EPIC! The light was going off in all directions! It was crazy! I was literally pounding myself in the head because the light was going off like crazy. On a scale of one to ten..........the light was an eleven! Seriously. The light lasted a good 25 minuets and when I left, the color was still going off. Wow! Hope you enjoy the image, there will be more images to come from this location in the future. Hope everyone's New Year is off to a great start. Peace.

It was delightful running into Susan again in the neighborhood. I didn't recognize her at first due to the different outfit and glasses. Her stylish hat the flower on her glasses attracted my attention. She was with a friend and she recognized me immediately and agreed to a follow-up portrait in a nearby doorway. She said she would have to cook me one of her specialties one day and told me she's an excellent cook. Part of the challenge of this portrait was the dull, flat, overcast day. The other part was figuring out how to position Susan to cover some distracting hardware on the door behind her and yet still maintain balance in the photo. Susan is a very interesting woman, as you will learn if you read the story accompanying the "comment photo" below.
Here is the long waited update.
The book-project "Enter The World" will not continue as before.
Rasmus and I have agreed to not continue the project together. We are too different to do such a personal project together. Since it's a dream of ours to do this adventure, it wouldn't be fair if we settled on compromise half the time. We are therefore traveling separately at the moment.
I will continue writing and creating a photo book, but I am unsure if it will be titled "Enter The World”. But a book will be made, and the supporters on our indiegogo campaign will still get their pledges. I'm very excited to continue this project, and I do not doubt that it will end up a beautiful book. Furthermore the book will now not be limited to Australia.
I'm currently living in Brisbane - where I'll be until jan/feb working at a restaurant to finance my further travel. My spare time is spent on wild photography projects for the book, adventures to breathtaking locations, and building props.
I’m already very positive and proud about the photos already created but also the stories/series/photos to come!
Here's the first teaser-photo of many. The photo was taking in the Blue Mountains - one of the many breathtaking locations. It's always been a dream of mine to swim under a waterfall.
Just uploading out of boredom. This reminds me of some of Anna's photos.

Huh, I actually can't live without pictures from Japan :-)
But here I won't write a huge story. It's just Kai, you know, and he is pulling some water from the Pacific Ocean into the air. When he saw this picture he was surprised by his body. He said he knew he had an awesome body, but that awesome?
Whatever...
"As the flames of war engulf me, I feel more and more dedicated to fight, to fight for our country, and our freedom!"
The sad remains of the 17th century VOC replica 'Prins Willem' that was destroyed during a fire in the early morning of the 30th july in Den Helder, Holland.
Imagine that you were able to look into people's eyes and see their past. Would you want to see mine? Forgetting is a blessing from God, or otherwise we would all have looked 100 years old by the time we reach 30 lol. No that is not a fact! I am thankful to God and only God for the people he had brought into my life and sent to me for aid. We should all know that no matter what happens in life, it is God's will for he has made a plan for each and every one of us. Even if we go through rough and hard times, it is the path that God has put for us to follow, to become wise, learn, and be strong.
Don't look back to your past and endure pain, but learn from it and be strong, let it flow. For if it didn't happen, we won't be who and where we are right now.
Dedicated to all my dear flickr members.

Most will agree that things on the Boston Line these days are hardly worth getting out of bed. Trains are usually boring with a steady diet of GEVOS, giant trains and DPUs. On May 26, 2020 we had a successful morning on the Battenkill chasing the "D&H" 5012 , we headed down toward State Line tunnel for the afternoon on the old Boston & Albany. Surprisingly, along with Amtrak 449, we had two westbounds, right behind each other. After 449, it was a short wait when horns announced the arrival of Q427 with YN2 AC44CW 467 leading the way popping out of State Line Tunnel in Canaan, NY. For several decades it has been single track, as the old westbound bore has just about succumbed to the trees and brush. Late spring helped us with the pockets of sun here and there, but the clock was ticking. Our second train appeared about 15 minutes behind this guy with a pair of ordinary GEVOS, we barely got it, but clearly this was the winner for a short 2 hour wait.
- Alright, my dear. If you want to train to be a scout trooper, you have my permission. You will take care of my baby, won't you, commander?
- Yes, ma'am!
I think the pedestrians in this shot give it context, otherwise it's just another city skyline...

Another sunrise shot from a remarkable morning last January when Eric Gail and I headed out at 5 AM with hopes of catching a sunrise at Leo Carrillo Beach. This was only our second time visiting this beach, and we wouldn't have known about it at all if not for a tip from one of the natives on our previous shoot down at the Malibu Pier. Leo Carrillo is another rare East facing beach where you can shoot the sunrise over the ocean in spite of the fact that you are on the West Coast. Between the cave, the archway, and the jagged coastline, this location bounced way up on our shooting list and both of us agreed that there seems to be more potential here than at the more popular El Matador which is just South of this beach. I was hoping to head back there, but now that we are approaching May, we might be out of luck as the low clouds will soon be moving in for the Summer and the sun will probably be out of position as it will have moved much further to the North.
If I have to wait another 6 months to head back, it will definitely be worth the wait.
