Still the sunrise goes into sunset with continuous golden hour meeting the blue
Finally a little snow to brighten the days

Thank you all for your very encouraging comments, views and faves. Your continuous support means a lot!
The Daintree Rainforest is a region on the northeast coast of Queensland, Australia, north of Mossman and Cairns. At around 1,200 square kilometres, the Daintree is a part of the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest on the Australian continent. The Daintree Rainforest is a part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland Rainforest, that spans across the Cairns Region. The Wet Tropics Rainforest (that the Daintree is a part of) is the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest in the world. Along the coastline north of the Daintree River, tropical forest grows right down to the edge of the sea. In 2009 as part of the Q150 celebrations, the Daintree Rainforest was announced as one of the Q150 Icons of Queensland for its role as a 'Natural attraction'. The tropical rainforest ecosystem of the Daintree Rainforest is one of the most complex on Earth. Its plant diversity and structural complexity is unrivaled on the Australian continent and represents the origins of other Australian flora. Millions of years ago, the Australian continent was warm and humid and rainfall was plentiful. During this time rainforest thrived in places such as the Uluru (Ayers Rock) region. As Australia became more arid, fewer and fewer places rainforests were able to survive. In the Daintree region, however, the climate and topography were ideal, so the area became a last remaining refuge for the rainforest. Within this refuge, many species were able to live comfortably without reason to change. Their descendants that are still living today retained many of their ancestors' primitive characteristics, some dating back 110 million years. One species in particular, Idiospermum australiense, commonly known as the idiot fruit, is one of the rarest and most primitive of the flowering plants. Its discovery in 1970 was arguably Australia's most significant botanical find, greatly increasing scientists awareness of just how ancient these forests really are. From a total of 19 primitive flowering plant families on Earth, 12 families are represented in the Daintree region making the highest concentration of these plants worldwide. These ancient plant families may be helpful for discerning the origins of the flowering plants. 22299
The aboriginal people of Australia have lived continuously in the Alligator Rivers region for over 50,000 years. Their style of traditional painting has a strong emphasis on lines, unlike the aboriginal traditional painting that is typically popular in Western culture that emphasise on dots.

Last weekend was probably the longest, continuous spell of hot weather I've seen since I was a young boy and I loved every second of it. A major part of that weekend was kayaking on Loch Eck, something I seem to have picked up a bit of a tan doing :).

B&W version of a shot I took during the International Gipsy Festival 7 years ago....
On September 30. Albert Siebeling passed away....
Albert was the founder of the International Gipsy Festival that celebrated its 19th edition this year. Through this festival he showed the world his love for the arts and culture of the Roma and Sinti. With every edition he presented unexpectedly brilliant artists, continuously pleasing a large audience.
With all his projects Albert brought colour, light and joy into his own life and into the lives of many people around him.
This what I believe to be a BMH Marine Siwertell auger-type continuous unloader which has a capacity of 17,000 tonnes per normal working day. The unloader is installed at the Kwinana Bulk Berth No. 4, Kwinana, Western Australia.
I showered trying to scrub all of You off me
Your hands are imprinted on me
Scarring me forever and cannot be erased
Your voice lingers in my ears
Pounding in my head still...
Years after on continuous reruns
A bad daydream that will not leave.
Flashbacks and triggers
Simple things set me off.
I feel insane in a sane world.

Continuous welded rail makes for such a smooth ride under our caboose as we leave Jim Thorpe on the 11:00 train bound for the Lehigh Gorge State Park.
It has been raining continuously in Calgary for past three days, overcast and low light was discouraging but this great gray owl made the day. This owl was hunting and provided great opportunity to study and capture great moments, this is one of them.
This is a "continuous ship unloader" of the "bucket elevator" type. Capacity is 2,500 t/h. It just finished unloading the vessel "Pu Sheng 6" (浦盛6, IMO 3686337), still moored to the pier.
Photo taken from a ferry, in this upload you can see unloading "in action".

Taos Pueblo is an amazing place. It is the oldest continuously inhabited community in the US. Although only minutes away from the town of Taos NM, it has incredible presence and connection with the land, and the unperturbed mountains.
This portrays a wonderful, mysterious alleyway I happened upon in the golden afternoon light. A barely visible turquoise blue door peeks through at the far end of the ancient, slanted and narrowing adobe walls - beckoning... waiting...
In all the years I've been fortunate enough to visit New Mexico, this is the first time I've visited the Pueblo - long overdue. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, we hope that it remains as it is today - with a strong connection to the past and future.
Thanks to Jaro who was our guide that day. I hope I can return soon.
(I now see that this is best viewed in a darkened room to see the subtleties in the shadows :)
Shot of the Hull-Rust-Mahoning mine in Hibbing, Minnesota from the former Mineview viewing area.
The mine is a conglomerate of several other mines and has operated continuously for over 100 years. It is the largest open pit iron mine in the United States.
This viewing area was supposed to have moved in 2018 so they could mine at this location. I have found no evidence that it has moved. In 1919, the whole north end of the town of Hibbing was moved due to expansion of the mine.
Somewhere in the distance in this photo is a rare triple divide. Native Americans called it the "Hill of Three Waters." The St. Lawrence and Laurentian (Northern) divides meet here, resulting in three ways a drop of water could go from here. It could either flow north into Hudson's Bay, east into the Great Lakes via the St. Lawrence Seaway, or south to the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River.
Check out Minnesota Brown's Hill of Three Waters article for an interesting perspective on this place.
I grow this smoke bush because it always has such attractive new growth..... spring, summer and fall
Had to post this one ....another shot from Australia Day....this one is unusual for me in that the light trails consist of dots of light....rather than than the normal continuous lines.
Continuous below freezing temperatures have kept the creek freezing and aqua colored, 40 degrees expected tomorrow, may all change...
The sinter plant is a critical path process that continuously provides feedstock to the blast furnaces. Sintering is a production process whereby small particles coalesce to form larger masses, usually at high temperature.
This process benefits the blast furnace operation, as sintering avoids losses which would otherwise occur if the iron ore, coke and limestone were fed into the blast furnace in a loose or powdered state.
Image taken just under four miles away looking over the countryside
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line

This 2nd-century AD amphitheatre in Europe’s longest continuously-inhabited city has witnessed many a dramatic, thundery Bulgarian summer and long, frosty autumns. Set among the six hills of the Thracian Plain, the amphitheatre offers rich views year-around whether you find a rewarding angle from Hemus Street or pay to explore the space itself – giving access to extraordinary details such as ancient district names carved into the seating to direct audiences to the appropriate zones. You could even take in a show in the evening, as the amphitheatre has been functional since being rediscovered following a landslide in the 1970s.
It snowed on and off all day today; at times I couldn't see two meters ahead of me. We've had it unconventionally well this year that many were surprised at the above-average temperatures and little snow. Well, here it all comes in a package: snow, wind, snow, wind, and chill, chill, chill. We're expecting a -39 with wind-chill effects in some areas around us (Southwestern Ontario). Still, not complaints. The kids are having the time of their lives and are enjoying every inch of snow... Wish you all a warm weekend! Stay warm...
L' Imprévisibilité
According to the word of the eternal being,
The stream of time is continuous;
I only sense an incoming breeze,
The chime of a new moment.
Does it lead to a downfall? To a victory?
Does it bear glory, or a sword?
I do not see its face;
I only know the breeze of encounters.
Moments with obscured faces fly,
Fly like birds from another world,
Forward into the circle of life;
How am I to freeze them in their flight?
And so in their density, in their interlacing web,
Whether I desire it or not,
My vessel slices
Through the black shadow of uncertainty.

I really liked this falls despite the tough angle to get the shot! The difficulty was capturing the far falls in the dark area with such bright light on the foreground.
I was impressed by the mossy surround.

Continuously worrying is a waste of your time.
Good and bad things happen. Enjoy the good and overcome the bad.
This month I have been focused on the relationship between colors. This art piece is a Compound color (or Split Complementary).
Love this quote: “Theirs is the mystery of continuous creation and all that providence implies: the uncertainty of vision, the horror of the fixed, the dissolution of the present, the intricacy of beauty, the pressure of fecundity, the elusiveness of the free, and the flawed nature of perfection.” - Annie Dillard
