Riding on some fast-moving water sports crafts is an exciting and thrilling experience. So, from early morning up and until late afternoon on Christmas Day, a number of guests at a popular beach resort, singly or in group, take a ride on jet skis and banana boats for an hour around a large area in Subic Bay designated by the resort's management as safe for such activities.

Continuing the Cityscape of Dubai is the final approach into our docking position, past the section of buildings that show the 'Twisted' Masterpiece in more of its glory.
Continuing a hot summer tradition.....posting a series of refreshing cold snowy images for a week or so. Sweaters recommended while viewing....

I didn't know about Willigis Jäger until recently when I started practicing with a local meditation group; they've become friends while I went through a rather difficult time and the regular Sunday evening practice became something to cherish and look forward to. Too little I know about Willigis Jäger, but I feel he would agree with Rupert Spira who a few days ago recorded this small but profound message:
the prayer I mean is not an asking for something, it is rather a withdrawing into one's inner silence, where the influence of senses and thoughts, through practice, become weaker and weaker ...
here is some more, for those inclined:
Continuing with the theme of the photogenic Tufted Titmouse, here it is coming in for a soft landing. It is so quick that I see I'm going to have to up my SS a bit more if I want to completely stop action.
The Minster was undergoing significant works during our visit. Thankfully, this side entrance which protrudes out from the main building was not only pristine but also strongly lit. Very thoughtful of them.
The Heald woods, on the western shore of Lake Windermere. I am keeping a promise to do more low level walks after completing the munro’s. We arrived just in time to catch the early morning sunlight breaking through
On February 5, 2021we had another soft snowfall that came down as a beautiful, white, fluffy snow. Since I had my Canon at home I felt fortunate to be able to photograph nature at its finest, up close and personal in the woods and hillside behind my home.

Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Continuing on that fair winter day along the "Joint Line", a D&RGW southbound coal passes the Air Force Academy lead by an SD45 and three SD40T-2, 5325-5357-5352-5391) @1350.
Continuing with the current ‘In Flight’ Dragonflies Theme, this one from last year is my all time favourite.
This Image was captured on the Atherton Tablelands North Queensland..
A lot of fun to watch the sky explode in color and to move around there in the field of leaves to capture that sunlight and color from the sky to the leaves. Fall splendor here in Maryland.
Continuing with the anticyclonic grey theme - this time with fine Autumn reflections in Buttermere lake.
Artist ElleStreetArt's mural continues along this semi-circular wall. In total she painted 2,900 square feet. That's big and beautiful. At Hudson Yards
If it weren't for 12-spotted's! Gee, there just aren't any odes flying. It's hot & dry right now - but too late to save most summer dragons and too hot for Fall species to come out of the shade. This guy is actually by himself ... leaves one of our sticks to chase an occasional whitetail or green darner. A stunning Comet darner flew by the other day - haven't seen him since. And we've seen the first Shadow darner but he wouldn't perch.
Sorry it's been so hectic here - I was at a derm. surgeon yesterday having a skin cancer removed - they told us to plan on being there a good 4 (!) hours. Fortunately it didn't take that long - thanks once again for several good friends that prayed & sent me notes - so appreciated.

Ten minutes later yielded the arrival of NS 34J with a Conrail SD40-2 leading.
Yep, it happend in 2010! Conrail has been gone for over ten years, and shooting a Conrail SD40-2 on the point is still possible in Chicago.

NATURE... amongst ALL the bad news, I WILL CONTINUE with BEAUTY.
Today it it FLANDERS’ National Day, remembering the Gold Spurs Battle, 11-07-1302, an important date in Flemish history!
"The bells have rung, the echoes sound
The day is gone
Ay, Marieke, Marieke
In Flanders field the echoes sound
The day is gone..."
(excerpt from 'Ay Marieke' by Jacques Brel)
This flat, windswept land, so fertile, so mutilated in the past.The stretch behind the dunes is still, like in the Middle Ages dotted with those 'round' villages. Church and graveyard in the center, houses around in a circle, the road, often still cobblestones, meandering through it. Flanders... where I was born... It was a soft windstill evening, a beautiful silence caressed my ears, the layered fog effacing whole sections of the land from my eyes, trailing capriciously in the sigh of the sunset, becoming denser in darkness... I left the bottom in because that's how it was, grey and darker and lighter again.
Thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

Looking from the Observatory Tower of Lincoln Castle towards the Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549) before the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt.
Remigius de Fécamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, moved the Episcopal seat there between 1072 and 1092. Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was the "mother church" of Lincolnshire (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire).
Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185.
The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive: The Cathedral is described as having "split from top to bottom"; in the current building, only the lower part of the west end and of its two attached towers remain of the pre-earthquake cathedral.
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style. Until 1549 the spire was reputedly the tallest medieval tower in Europe, though the exact height has been a matter of debate.
The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235.
After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral.
In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral, and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster tomb there.

Continuing the series of Andean hummingbirds that don't include "hummingbird" in their name is the Tyrian Metaltail. It is named for the purple in its tail that, in the proper light, closely matches the dye gathered from snails in Tyre, Lebanon, that was prized in earlier times by royalty for its rarity and colorfastness. This juvenile female was found along the road in the Andean cloud forest as we left Reserva Yanacocha for our next stop.
Continuing on with the water/lake theme.....found along the shore's the Lake Palestine in Texas.

Ash emissions continue at fluctuating levels. A stronger phase of emissions produced a plume that rose approx. 1200 meters and drifted in westerly directions over Malang, forcing a temporary closure of the city's regional Abdul Rachman Saleh airport.

Continuing with blue EMDs, we go now to upstate New York, where we find CSX's office car train, still in Dark Future paint. While Saratoga Springs is a CP town, CSX for a few years brought their train to town for the muckety-mucks to go to the Whitney Stakes.
Since then, the train has been repainted into B&O-esque colors, a major aesthetic improvement, though Saratoga is no longer an annual destination.

Continuing my year in review.
Another bird frequently found near the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center is the Roseate Spoonbill. They're a highlight of our trip with that crazy bill and their lovely pink plumage. This one was completing its preening session with that final shake to get all those feathers in perfect alignment.
Continuing with my winter theme of posting dragonflies & bugs I've rarely if ever posted ...
A White Peacock at the wonderful Corkscrew Swamp (you could encounter bears & panthers on the boardwalk) near Naples, Florida ... just before Christmas in 2009. I've never heard of a Peacock stray making it up here but a few do wander from their very southern range.
Another from a couple days ago. No textures this time. Hope they withstand the snow blanket on them tonight. I love crocuses..wish they were around all summer.
Continuing on the theme, able to take the M5 and split between the northern part and southern part of the Rockies (Canadian and Colorado). This was the last roll until I had to send the camera away for a full CLA and meter repair, for which it was clearly due being in the wild for sometime. Lots of hiking but well worth it. Most of the time was overcast but did the best I could to capture with suboptimal light. I was inspired as usual with the flickeranians who do so well in the most trying of conditions - thanks for the continued inspiration!
