Time to go. It's getting quite warm out here. Little did I know that an older couple were watching me from their car on the service road next to where I was. What could they thinking?

Flickr, you need to hurry up and deal with the ongoing issue for some people of views and stats - people are not impressed one bit at views disappearing (sometimes, tens of thousands at a time) and the continuing, steady drop in daily views. For one thing, are photos being seen when posted? Just lost about another 11,000 views today and again this evening!! It is a case of one step forward, two steps back. Also, the only way to see the view number under each photo is to keep pressing the Refresh key until it updates.
7 August 2020: our temperature at 1:00 pm is 12C (windchill 11C) and partly cloudy. What a welcome change from the last week of high heat. Sunrise is at 6:12 am and sunset is at 9:10 pm.
Yesterday, 6 August 2020, was yet another day of very hot weather, which meant that I needed to get out of my very uncomfortably warm home for a few hours. My plan was to drive some familiar roads SE of Calgary and then continue further into unknown territory. My hope was to come across a few old barns that I had never seen before, and it was a successful day.
Leaving home around 9:30 am (as usual, later than hoped), a lot of my driving was on highways in order to give me more time at the furthest parts of my drive. Eventually got back home at 5:40 pm., which included a very quick stop closer to home at the Saskatoon Farm to get a meal. A solo drive of 326 km, keeping well away from other people, except for stopping to chat with a lady who owns one of the barns I always like to photograph (from the road). We have bumped into each other three or four times that I have been in that area.
This morning, I was reading a very disappointing notice from the Saskatoon Farm. Apparently, too many visitors are totally ignoring the health regulations - no mask, no social-distancing. If you do wear a disposable mask, don't just drop it on the ground when you leave, either. What is wrong with people?? Please put the safety of others before your own selfishness! It would be such a sad thing if ignorant people could end up causing the Farm to have to close to visitors during these difficult times.

In December I was asked to exhibit at Franklin Foto, a new community darkroom in St. Johns. I made this short video to show friends who don't live nearby.
Franklin Foto offers classes and darkroom time to people who want to learn film photography, so I chose images of the various ways I have made portraits of people over the last 50 years.
I recorded the music in the video in Richmond, Indiana in 2008, at the home of Carol Lou Woodward. Now in her 90's, Carol Lou is a weekly entertainer at Saigon Paris Bistro in Fort Myers, Florida.

Here is a community of Daisies, they are smiling at each other and having a chatter, nature has its own community.
Chinatown, People's Park complex. This place is iconic, and also a little bit rough. Close to the Chinatown tourist precinct, this is a refreshing slice of life, quite raw and real. Nikon FM3a film shot.
It's great to be back exploring different places for shots and seeing less photographed parts of the Edinburgh bus network. The weather though has yet to fully bloom into full on spring sunshine as it has been rather cold and unseasonal.
Now that I am more or less fully back in action I have been able to try some different shots and the village of Costorphine is somewhere that I have completely missed shots of. Its part of Edinburgh that is steeped in history, just look at the pub located down the road that has been around for a couple of centuries I believe. It is often missed as I don't used it for much thorough fair and the service 1 is not one of my more frequent rides especially the West Side of the route.
Time to talk about this set of buses. Originally from a batch of 50 that was split in delivery from about a 21 month period from March 2013- December 2014 to replace the old Darts. This time it is Lothian Buses 33 which is the 41st of the 50 that I have photographed being one of the later arrivals in December 2014 which makes it 10 years old at the end of the year.
However, last year we did lose a bus as on the 11th of June bus 11 working 1 duties as well went in a big bloom of smoke at Clermiston and was completely written off, see here flic.kr/p/2oKhp6D.
As previously stated, I am almost getting through this batch as this is the 41st meaning there are only 9 more to collect and possibly a few swap arounds. So, here we see Lothian Buses 33 on a service 1 to Seafield, a termini it was extended to in the heart of the pandemic back in 2020 as the 12 got cut and still making sure as many areas as possible were covered with as little network possible. It can be seen in Costorphine Village, pictured behind is Costorphine Parish Church which looks very stylish and old having been part of the community for a long time.
