Six blocks of downtown Skagway, Alaska are designated as a National Historic District. Within this zone, private, state, city, and federal interests have cooperated to preserve or restore the late 1890s atmosphere.
Skagway is one of the most fascinating towns in all of Alaska. Its rich history and ties to the gold rush
Skagway is a compact city in southeast Alaska, set along the popular cruise route the Inside Passage. It's home to gold-rush-era buildings, now preserved as part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. The White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad runs vintage locomotives past the famously steep Chilkoot trail and offers sweeping mountain views during its climb toward Canada. ― Google

A special thanks to all my Flickr friends and visitors, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.
I would also, like to extend my thanks, to all those who place my images in their beautiful galleries, or use my images for their covers.
Additionally, I am truly humbled to receive so many thoughtful and generous testimonies. I cannot express how deeply touched and honoured I am, to find such caring and beautifully written words left on my behalf.
Thank-you, thank-you for all the love.

This is located in the small town of Fife Lake where I grew up. There are several beautiful barns in this area as well as stunning
scenery. Looking back now I wonder why I moved away.
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?...
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind...

After doing so many overlayering series creation, friends always are curious how the original images look like, and how different between the new overlayering creation and the original image. Well, it really depends on the quantity of the images & the degree of post image treatment. In the past I did try the overlayering creation from 2 - 15 images, to answer the question, I decide to share the original images with you, which were the original sources from the "Life tranformotion" series creation at www.flickr.com/photos/sunshinetoday168/sets/7215760467365... I just completed last week. It's easy for you to find out the connection, cause all images you saw were composed with 2- 3 images only. Then I did the cropping, changes the angle, the colors & the light, the saturation etc.. so just take a look & have fun when you did the comparison.
I have no idea how the black line got on these images, maybe I didnt wind it up all the way...?
I like the first one for the surprised look on his face and for the super soft edges.

"To find the universal elements enough;
to find the air and the water exhilarating;

these are some of the rewards of the simple life."

I was working on a challenge for Photography Essentials and this shot was in response to Sandeep's request.

With his new album BACK TO THE BASIC and comeback going into full swing, singer Rain has revealed that he has only had four girlfriends in the past.
“Of these four girls, I believed I would marry each one. Whenever I fall in love I always think that I will get married.” the pop icon said. “My first love was in high school and I met a model through a blind date right before my debut. After my debut I dated two other girls.”
Rain appeared on KBS’s Win Win. “Before my debut I was really excited because I got to work with someone I really respected.” When asked who this person was by MCs Kim Seung Woo and Taeyeon, Rain said, “I can’t tell you now, but I will if I come back.”
“During the promotions for my second album, I was approached by a lot of female stars. They asked me to go out to have dinner with them. Back then I thought, ‘Why do they want to eat with me?’ but now I realize how brave they were to come up to me.”
Rain also revealed details about how he dates. “On one first date I gave a girl a piggy back ride.” and “To avoid unwanted attention I have had a lot of dates in cars, but this can be tiring. I think if you try to hide yourself, people will notice you more. So I think it’s better to just go out in public and hold hands to look normal.”
He also offered advice to 2PM’s Wooyoung saying, “If you want to find love, look for it with people who are close to you.“

It’s probably been at least 25 years since I’ve used this camera. 📷
People often ask me, “Why do you shoot with Pentax?” — and I tell them this is why. It is a 35mm film camera that’s 99% manual (it does have a basic built-in light meter). Introduced in 1976, it’s one of the most iconic film cameras ever made — known for its simplicity, durability, and hands-on operation.
My first photography instructor at North Dakota State introduced me to the K1000, and it taught me the fundamentals: shutter speed, aperture, and focus. Production continued for over 20 years.
Our next big trip is coming up in June, and I plan to bring it along! I bought a roll of 36 exposures and have been practicing. It feels very different from my K3 — after every shot I keep instinctively looking at the back of the camera, hoping to see the image I just took. Guess I’ll have to wait until I get the film developed! 😊

Inspired by this group I got a 27 exposure disposable camera and had some fun.
I loved looking through its viewfinder. There is something liberating about the fact that you can control little beyond composition.
This was the very first shot on the roll.
No editing involved.
Love the blue distorted edges and how the shadows of the tree branches came out exactly like they felt, cool and steel blue.
Yellow letterbox was more yellow in real life...or maybe that was me.

This is for a challenge in the Photography Essentials group. We are trying to create a little group that you can join, no matter which camera you use, and join in with the chat. It is slow at present but we have lovely members so if you feel like joining ... and joining in ... we'd be happy to see you there.

"Orange as the perfumed fruit
hanging their globes on the glossy tree,
orange as pumpkins in the field,
orange as butterflyweed and the monarchs
who come to eat it, orange as my
cat running lithe through the high grass."

For a challenge in the new "Photography Essentials" group - where we hope to see how different cameras compare ... and have some good discussions too ;)
Now you can see where the expression "bald as a coot" came from! :)
These little creatures were encouraged to take to the water for the first time as I watched. I have a video which I cannot edit on this borrowed laptop. I will upload more when I can.
Edit:
Coot Video 1 - The coot chicks are encouraged to swim
Coot video 2 where the babies take to the water
Coot Video 3 - the cull begins...
