This is our schedule today. We just hopped from one activity to another. I am behind on my February ABC Challenge, and so I am getting three letters done today! (I didn't write that on this schedule - should have!)

 

I would not ordinarily write this schedule down, but I needed to for my "S is for" picture. I am certain in years to come, I will look back and chuckle at this schedule and remember writing this down!

 

We also stopped by the store to buy a pretty birthday card, first thing this morning...after our coffee! When we delivered the meals on wheels, at one of our stops the beautiful lady is going to be 104 in two days. She is bright and sharp! Her eyes are failing a bit so I had to read the card and what I wrote. I thought I would cry. She is amazing and incredible!

 

And as my husband was having our taxes done, I was going to walk the town square and go into six shops. I went in only ONE! Much more economical that way, I guess! I saved a lot of money and thus we could pay our taxes!!!!

Life in big cities is never easy!

We are either busy at work, busy socializing, busy with family, or busy running among them...

Where do you come from and where are you off to, strangers?

 

Thank you all for your constructive advice to my previous image taken in the skytrain station. :-)

This is another image I took on the same trip. I saw this interesting stairway, and pictured two passengers passing by at each side of the stairway might complete the scene. I waited a few minutes to get the right combination, and this one worked for me!! :-)

Just wanted to show how all the new generation is lost in this digital world!!!

I have been seeing this grand pa at dasprakash signal in chennai for some months. this grandpa always sits there with same pose holding the glasses wit his same right hand and almost with same costume. when i have seen him for the first time i couldnt take a good shot as i was in a hurry. here goes my pic

Hong Kong, the most crowded place in the planet.

One of my assignments was to shoot a photo that explains why I chose to do portrait photograpy and explains about how my view of people generally is.

 

So this photo explains that I chose portraitphotography because I love to take photo's of things that passes us só quickly that a lot of times we forget it. And with a photo these moments are captured forever.

 

1 Quote that always inspires me is:

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything"

Aaron Siskind

 

And my view of people generally (in Holland) is that everybody is so busy allll the time that we just keep chasing ourselves and sometimes we just have to find rest in the midst of it.

"Busy life people

Have only one real care

What time is their meeting

How long it takes to get there..."

The Brecon canal was one of the many ways in which Welsh coal was transported from the Welsh hills down to Newport docks ready for worldwide distribution many years ago. These days the canal is still used by barges which are moored up and down the canal from Brecon to Talybont

This image shows a turning circle which was used for large barges to pass each other and also used for loading and unloading of cargo that there is peace and quiet.

The canal has not changed much since it was built back in the 1900 hundreds, with the vapour trail of the aeroplane flying over above it is a good blend of old and new technology coming together but also a sad reminder that technology has change the good old days to want we see today.

  

Talybont Reservoir is used for supplying drinking water to the local area of Powys. This is a close up of one of the many control valve houses situated within the reservoirs around the National Park.

This reservoir was built in & around the early 1990’s, & was officially opened in the 1930’s. The valley that you can see was once populated by local villagers who were re-located to the surrounding area once it was decided that this reservoir was to be built to collect the rain water from the surrounding hills of the National Park.

 

Not too much work, not too much play. Find a happy balance... Yeah, right!

 

Anybody out there find it yet? Could you help me? I seem to have lost my head in the search! I haven't cooked dinner yet either - if I had hands, I'd eat that apple.

 

Happy Friday everyone - FUTAB!

my words. my photo. :]

Capturing this image shows that there is a peaceful place to go to get away from today’s busy life style, which we would all like to think has been naturally developed over the last few thousands years.

However, when we visit these areas of the Brecon Beacons National Park one has to think that if it was not for man’s technology today this Pontsticill Reservoir would not be here today.

The trees have been planted to create a more pleasing view of this reservoir with Pen Y Fan in the background, which is used to power the local area of Merthyr Tydfil and the tools used to create more landscapes for us to visit and admire.

 

Busy digital life in the modern world.

Piazza del Duomo ("Dome Square") is the main piazza (city square) of Milan, Italy. It is named after, and dominated by, the Milan Cathedral (the Duomo). The piazza marks the center of the city, both in a geographic sense and because of its importance from an artistic, cultural, and social point of view. Rectangular in shape, with an overall area of 17.000 m2 (about 183.000 Sq Ft), the piazza includes some of the most important buildings of Milan (and Italy in general), as well some of the most prestigious commercial activities, and it is by far the foremost tourist attraction of the city.

The building shown in the middle is the Duomo, while that on the left is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II also nicknamed Milan's Drawing Room.

Spring 2012 Issue of Green Magazine of Waterloo Region. Double-page spread of my photograph used for article, Dreaming of green through rose-coloured glasses. Pages 30, 31. Published April 2012. Article by Carrie Snyder. Follow Carrie's blog at carrieannesnyder.blogspot.ca

From this view we can see that Pontsticill reservoir is a fantastic place to relaxed and take it easy on a sunny morning or afternoon

Just behind the old working museum is the established boat yard, which is still working today. When this shot was taken, workers at the yard were busy inside the work shop repairing barges ready to be launched onto the canal.

Taking this shot into the sunny allowed me to capture the reflection of the tree in the water & the sun, which gave off a slight lens flare which was very popular in the 1970’s in photography.
