This shot could have been a bit better but when shooting from a moving car you have to make do with what you sometimes get.
Thus the title. It seems to have not a bad composition. I had to crop out the left side as there was a telephone pole there.
I seem to have this knack of nailing a tree or pole dead centre of the shot.
The F word is heard quite often with this happening..
I apologize to you in advance if you are ever driving me on a countryside shoot.
Happy Fence Friday.

This was our annual family trip—full of compromises and a whirlwind itinerary. I knew Lake Kawaguchiko would offer some of the best photographic moments, but we had less than 24 hours to spare. The rain forecast had loomed for days, and when we arrived by train, it poured harder than I’ve seen in years.
With nowhere else to go, we checked into our hotel and wandered through nearby museums. Then, as if on cue, the clouds began to lift. I headed straight to Arakurayama Sengen Park, hoping for a glimpse of Chureito Pagoda with Mount Fuji behind it.
Just as I arrived, the sun broke through. Mount Fuji emerged through the haze, and golden light touched the pagoda’s edges. It wasn’t a perfect sky, but the atmosphere was unforgettable—quiet, fleeting, surreal. I chose to leave the wire/electrical cables visible in the photo. I had seen so many images where it had been edited out, I didn’t even know it existed until I stood there myself. Now that I’ve seen it in person, I wanted to keep it in—to remind myself and others that this detail is part of reality.
Today’s image was all about trying to make the best of a compromise. I really wanted to catch both the curve of the shoreline as well as the colour of the sky but I just couldn’t get everything I wanted in frame.
On the night in question the water was millpond smooth, which was in stark contrast to my previous visit in gale force winds, and the shape of the bay was clearly visible on the edge of the sands. The colour reflected in the water was just beautiful and I wanted to make that a feature of the image. However, I was shooting with a super-wide lens to get in the sky and that has the effect of exaggerating perspective. Basically it makes distant objects appear even more distant and that spoiled the nice shape of the waters edge. I had a choice to make; foreground interest and sky but lose the curve of the shoreline or raise the tripod to get better perspective and see more of the curve but lose the impact of the foreground. Well in this image I chose the latter and decided to drop the impact of the rocks under foot. Did I make the correct decision? Well I’m still not convinced I did because the feature I wanted is just too weak to make a difference here and the rocks could have been so much stronger. At least the sky looks great!
Today is the 7th day of Valentine's month of February, with a new work from me.
ABBA - Ode To Freedom (Lyric Video)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtNJybve8j4
Freedom
Freedom will not come
Today, this year
Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.
I have as much right
As the other fellow has
To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.
I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I’m dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.
Freedom
Is a strong seed
Planted
In a great need.
I live here, too.
I want my freedom
Just as you.
Langston Hughes
There are people who've said that I'm being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage, gay adoption... With all due respect, I humbly dissent. I am not being brave, I'm a decent human being... Love is a human experience, not a political statement
Anne Hathaway
But laws alone cannot secure freedom of expression; in order that every man may present his views without penalty there must be a spirit of tolerance in the entire population.
Albert Einstein
Freedom is like a bag of sand. If there is a hole anywhere in the bag, all the sand will run out. If any group of our people are denied their rights, sooner or later all groups stand to lose their rights. All the freedom will run out.
Robert Patterson
Every subject's duty is the kings;
but every subject's soul is his own.

CP 133 (CSX Z155) crosses over the Buffalo River Drawbridge for the Compromise Branch (now track 3 of the Buffalo Terminal Sub), however depending on the dispatch they seem to use the terms interchangeably.
This was a difficult compromise :-) I think Macro Mondays has challenged all of us members throughout the year. I chose to focus on some elements I used for the "Relaxation" theme (surfboards, see here: www.flickr.com/photos/134352553@N04/35597512936/) and a new take on the "Musical instruments" theme (piano instead of guitar, see here: www.flickr.com/photos/134352553@N04/24270050178/).
To me, using creativity to figure out what to do is quite different from the "busy" daily life. It is like diving into a paradise where heavenly music plays and "forces" you to relax... agree?
Thanks a lot to the admin group for a really nice year and HMM and HNY to you all :-)
Since birth, when it comes to travel, I have been like a dog…just open the door and I will excitingly jump in without a care of where we are going! I have posted about this sick level of wonder lust many times. You are never too old to learn new things about yourself. I just learned that I never want to travel overseas for a month again!!!
Arriving home last night around 9:45…safely…I could have fallen to my knees and kissed the ground! Don’t get me wrong – we had a wonderful time on a once in a lifetime adventure to one of the most beautiful places on earth. We knew we had set ourselves up for a fast-paced/see as much as possible trip, and if we were going to do it, sooner was better than later. It looked aggressive on paper…I had no idea how fast paced it would be…feeling my age every step along the way! Here are a few stats from our adventure:
8182 miles flown with 10 take-offs and landings
3 rental cars with more than 3000 miles driven…on the wrong side of the road and car!!
86 miles by train traveled.
17 different hotel stays.
Countless miles walked with hills and stairs…thus I ate like a pig and only gained 3 lbs.!!!
2104 photos downloaded!
Looking back on all the variables that could have gone wrong, God blessed this trip in every way that only He could!
On a personal note: I will be receiving a new right shoulder soon to replace the “End of function” (Surgeons words) one currently attached to my body. To keep from going crazy during my recovery/rehab I am going to spend more time editing and trying to improve that skill set. The shots taken during this adventure will trickle out as completed.
Here is the first shot taken, day one shortly after arriving in London. Our hotel was a stone’s throw from the Westminster Bridge over the River Thames. Everyone will recognize Big Ben, but very few know about the white lion at the base of the bridge. He is massive (13 tons) and was the carved in 1837 as a mascot for The Lion Brewery. When the brewery was demolished in 1949, King George VI himself stepped in to save it. Pidgeon’s are great for showing scale of size!
Being an avid wildlife photographer in London, I had to settle for a statue!
One of those moments when you line up the shot then hear the ominous sound of a train horn behind you.
With 69004 on the Middleton Towers to Barnby Dunn sand train I thought this might be a good spot to catch it on the side.
The train honed into view around 15-20 minutes early when I heard the toot from the Doncaster I-Port to Felixstowe liner. The consolation of losing the side shot, was the first flat was empty allowing a passing shot.
Both trains partially hidden behind the heat haze of 66315.

Construction on the Brady Tunnel began in early 1913. The 2,468ft tunnel cut 5.36 miles off the route. Construction of the tunnel took 3 years. It is currently closed to repair the leaakage that is compromising the tunnel. At the North Portal you can go into the tunnel approximately 25 yards before the Closure Sign. To that point a steel liner has been installed.

Malcolm X (Malcolm Little)
Born: Omaha, Nebraska, USA – 19/5/1925
Died: New York City, USA – 21/2/1965
Malcolm X was born as Malcolm Little into an African-American family deeply marked by racist violence. His father, Earl Little, was a Baptist preacher and an active supporter of Marcus Garvey’s movement, which promoted Black pride and self-determination. Because of this, he was persecuted by white supremacist groups and died while Malcolm was still a child, in circumstances widely believed to have been a murder disguised as an accident. His mother, Louise Norton Little, collapsed under the weight of poverty, persecution, and loss, and was later institutionalized in a psychiatric hospital. Malcolm and his siblings were separated and placed in foster homes and institutions.
Growing up in a deeply segregated America, Malcolm experienced systemic racism at an early age. Despite excelling at school, he was discouraged by teachers from pursuing higher education “because he was Black.” As a teenager, he moved to Boston and later to Harlem, living on the margins of society through precarious jobs, petty crime, and drug use. In 1946, he was arrested and sentenced to a long prison term.
Prison and transformation
It was in prison that Malcolm Little underwent his most profound transformation. Through intense self-education, obsessive reading, and correspondence with his siblings, he came into contact with the Nation of Islam. He converted to Islam, rejected the surname “Little”—which he saw as a name imposed by slavery—and adopted the letter “X” to symbolize the lost African identity erased by oppression.
After his release in 1952, he quickly became one of the most powerful and charismatic spokesmen of the Nation of Islam. He preached Black pride, self-defense, separation from white society, and delivered a radical critique of the hypocrisy of American democracy, which claimed freedom while denying basic rights to Black people.
Break and political independence
Over time, Malcolm X entered into conflict with the leadership of the Nation of Islam, particularly Elijah Muhammad, disillusioned by moral hypocrisy and political passivity within the organization. In 1964, he publicly broke with the Nation of Islam.
After the split, Malcolm X undertook a pilgrimage to Mecca, which marked a new evolution in his thinking. He acknowledged the possibility of human brotherhood beyond skin color, without ever abandoning his denunciation of Western structural racism. He founded new political and religious organizations and began to connect the African-American struggle with anti-colonial movements and global human rights struggles.
This phase made him even more dangerous: no longer controlled by an organization, no longer confined to an internal rhetoric, but an autonomous, international, lucid political leader.
Assassination
On 21/2/1965, during a speech at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, Malcolm X was assassinated by gunfire.
The material killers were members of the Nation of Islam, but the murder occurred within a climate of hatred, isolation, threats, and surveillance, marked by serious institutional failures and responsibilities that were never fully clarified.
Malcolm X was eliminated because he refused compromise, because he broke ideological boundaries, and because his free and radical voice could no longer be controlled.
I publish these portraits to remember those who gave their lives for humanity, human rights, justice, and freedom. This work is meant especially for younger generations, to make visible stories that are too often forgotten or never taught, and to keep alive the memory of those who paid the highest price for truth and dignity.
**Socrates — a documented, contextual biography**
Socrates (Athens, c. 470/469 BC – Athens, 399 BC) is one of the decisive figures of Western thought. Paradoxically, he is also one of the hardest to define historically: he left no writings, and everything we know about him comes from indirect testimony, shaped by different intentions—defence, satire, philosophical interpretation. The main sources are Plato and Xenophon (both his disciples), while Aristophanes portrayed him in satirical form. For this reason, any biography of Socrates is also a critical comparison between conflicting portraits.
**Origins, private life, and public presence**
Socrates was an Athenian citizen. Ancient tradition describes him as living simply—often in relative poverty—and as having an unusual public role: he spoke in the streets, in meeting places, in gymnasia, questioning citizens of every kind (politicians, craftsmen, poets, and especially young men of the elite). He founded no institutional “school” like Plato’s Academy, and he presented no written system. His work was living dialogue.
Regarding family life, ancient sources mention his wife Xanthippe and children. These details remain secondary in philosophical texts, but they recur in tradition. What matters most historically is that Socrates appears as a man rooted in the city: not a hermit, but someone who made the polis the stage of his ethical mission.
**The method and what made him uniquely dangerous**
Socrates’ uniqueness lies not in a written doctrine but in a practice: the pursuit of truth through relentless questioning, refutation, and careful definition. Modern scholarship often calls this style the “Socratic method” (elenchus): Socrates tests another person’s beliefs until contradictions and self-deceptions are exposed. This was not intellectual sport. It was a moral operation, because it forced people to choose between truth and comfortable illusion.
In Plato’s dialogues, Socrates insists that his strength is a kind of “negative knowledge”: knowing that he does not know, and therefore refusing easy certainties. That is precisely what made him politically explosive: a citizen trained to reason cannot be governed through slogans, fear, or prestige.
**Religion, the daimonion, and the accusation of impiety**
Socrates is often misunderstood as simply “atheist.” The sources rather describe his experience of the daimonion—an inner voice or divine sign that restrained him from actions he considered wrong. This element contributed to suspicion in a highly sensitive religious and political context, because it could be interpreted as introducing “new divinities” or deviating from civic cults.
**Historical background: a wounded Athens, scapegoats, and political fear**
The trial of 399 BC took place in a traumatized Athens: the city had been defeated in the Peloponnesian War and had passed through internal crises and political violence. In such climates societies look for scapegoats and tighten control over anything perceived as threatening order and cohesion. This context is crucial for understanding how a philosopher could become “dangerous.”
In addition, certain figures associated with Socrates’ circle carried politically compromising associations for Athenian memory. Modern reconstructions often consider this an important background factor, even though the indictment itself was formally religious and moral.
**The trial: charges, accusers, and condemnation**
The formal charges were two: (1) impiety (asebeia)—not recognizing the gods of the city and/or introducing new divinities; (2) corrupting the youth. In the best-known accounts, the accusers are Meletus, Anytus, and Lycon (as presented in Plato’s tradition). Socrates delivered his defence (the “Apology” in Plato and also in Xenophon) and was found guilty by a citizen jury. Ancient and modern reconstructions agree on a key fact: his death was not accidental, but a legal death sentence within Athenian procedure.
**Hemlock: imposed by the State, accepted by him**
The hemlock was the method of execution and therefore imposed by the State. Socrates did not “choose death” as a free suicide: he chose not to escape and not to renounce his life’s coherence. His death is therefore both a juridical-political execution and an ethical act of integrity—accepting the consequences of one’s life without surrendering to fear.
**Historical significance: what changes after Socrates**
Socrates became a point of no return. After him, philosophy in the West increasingly defined itself as care of the soul, moral responsibility, and the search for truth—not merely as rhetorical technique or speculation. Through Plato and Xenophon, Socrates also became a permanent symbol: the man who, in front of power, refused to abandon the duty to question.
I publish this series of figures to awaken consciences and to remember how many people died defending truth, justice, and the rights of the oppressed. I want to highlight the injustices that still exist and show young people that the only thing we can do is to fight, because evil still rules and continues to target those who try to make a difference. This series is an invitation to remember, reflect, and never accept injustice.
In remembrance of September 11, 2001. Thank you to all those who gave their lives, health, and time to save us you are all remembered and this work is dedicated to you.
Now that we have finally ended the war in Afghanistan let's hope that we can continue living and debating rather than using violence because war never really resolves anything. We need to debate with empathy, respect, positivity, patience, compromise, trust, truth, appreciation, facing the problem head-on together, staying calm, defining the problem, and finding common areas of agreement in order to help us reach the goal of compatibility. If both sides have the will to solve the problem a solution can be found. It takes time, effort, goodwill, and resolve, and a great deal of diplomacy and love, but peace is possible, let's make peace our goal!
We need to come together as families, villages, counties, states, countries, and most importantly globally.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

I'll be gone for a couple of days. Catch up with you all when I get back.
Or what I should be saying; for those who are willing to compromise safety for coverage.
Perched on top of a rockface overlooking the Columbia River in Lyle, WA, we were treated to a breathtaking view of the Columbia River Gorge, and what better way to appreciate a view than by including a train in it!
Though breathtaking, to get a good view of the train, you must go as far out as you can along the ridge; nothing stops you from falling to the river. They say you feel most alive when you are closest to death. So, to exercise safety and get this wonderful feeling of ardelaine, a six-pack of Bud Light was purchased at the Lyle market. Unfortunately, for some reason, the R'bauers didn't quite agree with this tactic. I wonder why?

For years I've had to keep my office doors closed during the day while I worked, because this stinker, to get my attention, would climb behind my desk where all the cords are.
I finally wised up and blocked the opening with some storage boxes, which has left just enough space for Finley to lay off the floor, directly under my desk, which has a glass top.
It's our 'compromise', lol.
Well, guess it's a compromise for just a while adding one of MRL's SD40's to one of the Livingston helper sets.

It is not selfish to love yourself,
take care of yourself,
and to make your own happiness a priority.
It is a necessity.
