A series of shots I got during our passage through The Big Ditch!
As we were cruising along I saw this area which seems to be a maintenance yard of some sort.
Going through the complete Panama Canal was definitely a bucket list item for me. I spent the entire day (8 hours) outside on the deck along with a bunch of other folks, my shutter happily clicking away!
We had a Canal Guide onboard who pointed out all the interesting locations, couldn't tell you one thing he said because I wasn't listening I was too busy shooting!
Have to commend Princess Cruises, they were really nice to us outside in that they had stewards coming around regularly offering up cool drinks, sandwiches, and such.
To make sure you're headed in the right direction!
The Barbados 1 making sure that the BBC Singapore wasn't going to have any issues while leaving the port. For those who are curious the BBC Singapore made it out without the kiss and headed off into the briny deep!
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. It's a well known issue and for some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!

Die Abfolge der Farben ist von "oben" nach "unten" folgendermaßen:
Infra-Rot, für uns unsichtbar,
Rot,
Orange,
Gelb,
Grün,
Blau-Grün,
Blau,
Violett,
Ultra-Violett (unsichtbar).
Je kürzer die Wellenlänge ist, umso stärker werden die Lichtstrahlen in den Wassertropfen, die auch als Prismen betrachtet werden können, gebrochen. Hier nimmt die Wellenlänge von "oben" nach "unten" ab, das heißt, dass das blau-violette Licht die kürzeste Wellenlänge (ca. 350-400nm) hat und somit am stärksten gebrochen wird. Die von der Wellenlänge abhängige Brechzahl nennt man auch "Dispersion".

Schachbaumwiese
! chess-tree-meadow ! - on the lawn was the full moon in the morning, unfortunately, difficult to grasp - I have him here settled in !
"Immaginate un oscuro fondale marino, dove una luce appena filtrata illumina a malapena una densa e uggiosa atmosfera , noiosa e pesante, dove l’unico movimento intravisto è qualche pesce che, di tanto in tanto, pigramente, sguscia dalla sua tana per poi ritornarci rapidamente, anche lui stanco di quel movimento appena visibile e lento che caratterizza quell’abisso profondo; adagiato sulla carcassa di una conchiglia gigante aperta ci sono io, intorpidito da un sonno quasi mortale, e allo stesso tempo quasi congelato dall’acqua che riempie i miei spazi e la mia vitalità, ormai appesa solo ad un filo sottilissimo (quasi totalmente spezzato) con il mondo esterno, quello dei così detti esseri “umani”. Sento una strana corrente, e alzando gli occhi, vedo quell’oceano che si anima tutto insieme in un vortice fatto di movimenti frenetici; estraneo il mio sguardo e mi metto a riflettere: “ Sarà una tempesta?” penso tra me e me; mi decido e finalmente mi rimuovo dal mio stato di inerzia, alzo di nuovo la testa e vedo uno strano raggio di luce, che colpisce in pieno l’ultimo brandello di filo che mi collega con la superficie, per trasformarlo in una solida corda da marinaio. Ancora un po’ confuso per quella situazione così lontana dalle mie abitudini, sento in me un calore strano, mai provato, che mi spinge ad afferrare quella corda con quello spiraglio di forza che ancora mi tiene in vita; una volta che mi sono ben stretto alla fune mi lascio trasportare e man mano che salgo sento che il sangue, come una linfa vitale, torna a scorrere nelle mie vene, e il torpore oceanico sembra diventare solo un immobile ricordo di tristezza. Ormai sono a galla, e finalmente riesco a vedere chi mi ha tirato su: è proprio lui la mia anima gemella. Si tuffa in acqua per venirmi a prendere, e in pochi secondi sento le sue braccia forti che mi avvolgono in un caldo abbraccio; dopo che i nostri sguardi si incrociano si avvicina a me per baciarmi, ma proprio mentre le nostre labbra si stanno per sfiorare, il suo braccio destro esce dall’acqua per scoprire un’enorme cesoia, che recide definitivamente il cordone che mi aveva riportato alla luce del sole. Poi il mio salvatore mi guarda con un espressione di violenza e di disprezzo e sento la sua presa che mi abbandona, per lasciarmi ricadere in fondo a quell’oscuro abisso che ho abbandonato per troppo poco tempo. Torno così nella mia conchiglia dove vi resto pochi giorni per poi cadere di nuovo in un sonno profondo, un coma di dolore che può essere interrotto solo da quella luce intensa. Dopo qualche settimana su di una scogliera viene ritrovata la mia conchiglia, vuota; Ciò che è rimasto di me sono solo le mie lacrime ghiacciate , ferme sulla carcassa, eleganti come perle pregiate. Who will ever come to bring me out of my drowned world ?"
"Quel giorno tu sei venuto, mi hai avvolto nelle tue bianche ali e mi hai salvato dal mio mondo sommerso...e ancora stiamo volando!"
Ti amo
A combination ticket counter, depot, and gift shop for the Grand Canyon Railway.
If you're going to ride the train you've got to have a ticket and this is where you get them at. Very nice inside with lots of dark wood and brass, pretty much what I would expect a train depot to look like. I really liked the Art Deco lettering on and inside the station, helps lend an air of authenticity.
A little hint to save you a couple of dollars is to make sure you show them your National Park Service Pass if you've got one. If you don't you'll wind up paying the park entrance fee which is between $20-$35 as of today at least.
Admission to Grand Canyon National Park is for seven days ( a good deal) and includes both the South Rim and during their season, the North Rim. No cash is accepted; credit/debit card only. No refunds are given due to inclement weather. Grand Canyon Annual Passes and America the Beautiful passes are available at all three of Grand Canyon National Park's entrance stations. If you happen to be a veteran you can get a free lifetime pass, you just have to show proof of honorable service. I was able to use my VA card to get mine, if you don't have one then I imagine that a DD214 would work as well.
A Quickie All-in-one Moleskine Diary/Sketchbook in Leather Cover
The day I decided to use the Moleskine 18 months weekly diary from July I knew I would have problem pulling out what I need from my bag. It has the same size and look as the Moleskine sketch book I'm using. Knowing that I will be using both quite often in this coming half year starting from my trip to Tokyo next week, I did something drastic in 30 minutes.
First I ruined the back of these 2 notebooks by putting 4 snaps on them so that they can stick together yet removable if I want to. Note that the two notebooks are snapped together so that the top of one is aligned with the bottom of the other. There is a good enough space in between because of the height of the snaps, so it works well to put a pen holder there. I just punched and set two eyelets to hold the broad elastic band together, then a metal wire is passed through the two eyelets to make a ring which helps to keep the elastic band in place on the spines, again this is removable if I don't need a pen holder.
Assembling it is easy, just put the pen holder in between the back of these two notebooks, snap the notebooks together and there you go. At this stage leather freak like me couldn't stop but made a cover for this so that the metal ring of the pen holder is concealed and I have the look I want.
Finally, to distinguish which side is which notebook, I stamped on the leather cover "Time" for the diary side and "Note" for the sketchbook side. Whenever I feel like using the other side, I flip the notebook vertically. The original Moleskine elastic bands can be used to enclose the leather cover but I like a clean look so most of the time they are enclosing the pages only.
You are probably wondering why there are some flying pigs on one of the Moleskines, that's a gift sketchbook from Steve Light. What's that pen you asked? Pilot 1979 Murex fountain pen, also a gift from a good friend Kelly.

Makes Jack (or in this case Niccy) a real dullard!
When it comes to being a Nurse Niccy is one of the best. She's the kind that you would want to be taking care of you and/or your loved ones. Good for you but not so good for her. Every now and then she needs to get away. Niccy was finished with her work and now was ready to play.
One of her pastimes away from work is dropping some coins in at the local casino. Now we're not gamblers by any means, more of a pleasant distraction.
We go to the casino about once a month since they give out a free lunch for veterans (me) along with some free play on the slot machines. Having worked in the gaming industry I know that we'll never get rich, the business is built on losers. I don't mind going however since it gives her a chance at that dollar and a dream that everyone has inside of them.
changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane
RIP Jimmy Buffet, December 25, 1946 – September 1, 2023
As the ship started to pull away from Curacao and the libations started to flow there was a definite "climate change" that took place. Everybody started to loosen up and let go of their worries, exactly what you're supposed to do when you go on a cruise. Niccy and I were hopeful that this attitude would remain for the rest of the trip, I guess we had a Wait and See sort of mindset.
Niccy and I just got back from a 2 week cruise down in the Caribbean, a trip that was supposed to be in the UK but thanks to the whole covid fiasco that was not meant to be. We were on the P&O Britannia and as we quickly found out we were the only Americans aboard! We had a good time, got to see some new ports and enjoyed the weather.
...er... then... er... it's entirely possible you might become a new super hero.
Yup.
Matron's given me permission... all I need to do is formulate an amazing new identity so I can begin my crusade of thwarting the bad guys...
Any suggestions?
Anyway, I know you'd love to:

Two Bowens Gemini Pro 500's with brilliantly big softboxes camera left and right, at 45 degrees, both set on 3.0. Third smaller softbox above camera at 45 degrees pointing down soon to be super hero, set on 3.0. Triggered by PC cord cable.
After 10 days at sea we made landfall in Ponta Delgada, Azores.
While all the sea days were nice and relaxing it was good to finally set foot back on terra firma.
The MARGARETHE (IMO: 9375886) is a General Cargo and is sailing under the flag of ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA. Her length overall (LOA) is 86.53 meters and her width is 12.9 meters.
This was a good trip in that I really stepped up and out when it came to taking control of my camera. The majority of the shots I got were done in manual (M) and I'm trying to keep any editing down to just a crop or two.
II guess I was still in an Auto frame of mind when I shot this looking at the EXIF. I promise there are some (M)anual shots coming though! This shot is SOOC other than a crop to remove some bits that added nothing to the shot.
This is a real photograph taken with a real camera, and not created by AI.

The Tower Complex, Great Yarmouth, is an all-in-one leisure & entertainment complex. Fun family activities, Jurassic Journey, a viewing tower, eateries, clubs & bars and live entertainment are all under one roof.
The souvenir sellers in St. Maarten definitely got paid on this day!
Three cruise ships tied up at the cruise pier in St. Maarten. Not seen in this shot is the Mein Schiff #3 which is to the right of the Britannia.
St. Maarten is one of our favorite cruise ports so we were able to avoid the crowds for the most part and do the shopping there we like to do.
We take the water taxi down to the main beach area then walk a short distance over to the Fairway Mark It:
www.facebook.com/fairwaymarkitsxm/
where Niccy stocks up on the Dutch candies and cakes she can't get here in the US. We then go back to the beach area and stop for an adult beverage at the Holland House Beach Hotel:
After a cool beverage we water taxi back to the cruise pier and head out into the street for a short walk down to the St. Maarten Animal Welfare Foundation shop and make a donation:
www.facebook.com/p/StMaarten-Animal-Welfare-Foundation-10...
After that we stop at the Amsterdam Cheese and Liquor Store:
to pick up a few more "necessities" for Niccy. We found out that their shop is moving so we'll have to make a small alteration to our trip next time but it's an easy one.
After all this we meander back to the cruise pier, onto the ship, and out to the Lido for a little lunch out on the back deck. A perfect trip in a lovely place!
Not for Tourist comsumption!
As we wandered around the distillery in La Crucecita I saw this interesting display of jugs and bottles. I asked the tour guide about this and he said this was for the locals to come and get their refills, not for the tourists. Evidently tourists have to pay extra to have their kerosene put into fancy bottles?
I'm guessing that Mexico doesn't have an equivalent office to our BATF, here in America they'd be banging on the door to get their pound of flesh. Welcome to Mexico, aka the Wild, Wild West!
We were booked for 3 days but only stayed for one. Why you ask????
We left Payson and headed to our final (we thought) destination, the Fort Tuthill Luke AFB Recreation Area.
It's a campground that is ran by the Air Force, open to active duty personnel, retired personnel, and disabled veterans (30% or more). Really nice place up in the woods, quiet and secure. At least we thought so when we booked.
Come to find out there was a 3 day Electronic Music Festival at the Pepsi Amphitheater (next to the campground) the same weekend we decide to stay. Had it been an evening concert we probably would have stayed but 3 days of EDM combined with the "people" that were attending the festival was a bit too much.
If you're a seasoned citizen like myself you'll probably understand the following, if you're not just ask your favorite "boomer" what I'm talking about. Imagine spending 3 days amongst a modern version of the "Deadheads"....Not at all what we planned on so we wound up pulling out after the first night.
We'll be back there next year but you can rest assured that we'll be checking the amphitheater schedule before we book again.
No need to man the lifeboats though, these guys won't be floating away...
We were parked next to Mein Schiff 3 when I got this shot in St. Martin. These guys were on the aft of the ship. going about their cleaning duties,
In retrospect I think I should've pulled the zoom back in to get more of the ship to show a comparison of their size in contrast to the task at hand.
When you take a cruise holiday your every need is catered to and you've got nothing to worry about.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that there are a LOT of of people both in the front and back of the house that make things happen for your dream vacation to be the best it can be. Folks that aren't on holiday, they're working at their jobs to provide for their families back home.
If you should ever go on a cruise I hope that you won't forget these folks and will let them know that you appreciate the hard work they put in to make things easy for you. They bust their butts so that you don't have to.
PS, my standard disclaimer:
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. It's a known issue and for some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
An "Old West" show is part of the the Grand Canyon Railway Experience!
As part of the train trip there is an "old West" show that takes place before you get aboard. This involves some wild and wooly cowboys who wind up getting in a poker game that's not quite up to Vegas standards if you know what I mean. There's lots of guns-a-blazin and of course the Marshall shows up to save the day. All in all a good way to start our journey.
Now as the show starts the train pulls into the station so I'm thinking that the show is meant to be a distraction to keep people from crowding the loading platforms, falling down on the tracks, and winding up flatter than that penny that you put on the tracks as a kid!
Anyhow, these guys put on a good show and of course they make another appearance near the end of the trip which gives you a chance to show them how appreciative you are for the experience.
Although we don't like to admit it, guys compare sizes!
It doesn't matter what it is and we all know it. Car engines, model trains, garden hoses, it doesn't matter and we all know it. Guys compare sizes and bigger is always better.
In this case it's one of the valves from the ships engine that these fellows were sizing up. Just looking at this I can imagine the thoughts these fellows are having....
#1. "Yeah that's just like my valve, nice and straight".
#2. "I remember when my valve was that big".
#3. "My valve is only this big but it still works great"!
#4. "Hope my valve still works when I get to your age".
A contest that has gone on since the beginning and has no sign of ever stopping.
I actually got to have a nice conversation with one of the engineers about the ship's propulsion and my Navy experiences. I tried to wrangle a trip down to the engineroom control but unfortunately got denied. Security reasons don't you know...
The different departments on the ship put items on display in the atrium, highlighting the best features of their department. There were displays from engineering, medical, catering, housekeeping, etc. Gives the passengers an opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes and shows exactly what it takes to keep the ship running shipshape.
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. It's a well known issue and for some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
A bigger hard drive is better than a smaller one. See a trend here?
The iMac's hard drive isn't user-upgradeable, so you must make a tough decision about hard drive size up front. You can choose a 500 GB or 1 TB hard drive, or go for broke and get a 2 TB hard drive.
Remember, you won't be able to easily change the internal hard drive later, so pick the largest size you can comfortably afford. If cost is really an issue, don't feel you have to blow the budget up front. You can always add an external hard drive later, although that somewhat defeats the purpose of an all-in-one computer.
More iMac's and desks are better than one. Think different.
