Feel the rust: press L
Learn from the past,
set vivid, detailed goals for the future,
and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

I went out for a small walk in the Forest on Saturday. It is the first time I have felt fit enough to walk since I had Covid back in December. There were signs up letting people know that controlled burning was taking place. Though seeing these huge flames would have told us that. We didn't stay out long as it was so cold. The wind was biting
"The law permits controlled burning each year from the first working day in November until the last working day of March. However, in practice it generally starts in early February because the worst of the winter weather is over, there are no birds nesting or animals producing young, the vegetation is still quite dry and the damp ground offers protection to the peaty soil. The process is strictly controlled and only a small percentage of the heathland is burned each year (on average 400 hectares) and only then in rotation, which traditionally is once every generation (about 25 years). A firebreak is first established around the area to be burned, which is made by using a cutting machine. The firebreaks are used to prevent the spread of flames to other parts of the heathland. Only skilled and experienced staff are permitted to undertake controlled burning of the heathland

Took this unexpected shot as I was leaving MIA. I had been standing on a cement pillar to look over the chain-link fence to grab the sunset, and as I walked back towards the car this flock of birds was quick to return back to their spot to gaze at the sunset. T3i and Sigma 18-250mm.
The streets of Old Peshawar are just packed with pedestrians, carts, cars, rickshaws .. you name it. A sea of faces. It looks like chaos but there's a method to the madness - as if there's an unwritten rule book that everyone abides by that keeps things moving.
I told the boys they could only have one Cookie each for dessert.
Leave it a Golden to pull out the scales and the large Cookies, and start weighing each one to find the biggest.

Double exposure on film
Kodak t-Max 400 & Nikon Fm2
One of the many marvellous photography techniques provided by analog photography is the double (or triple…) exposure film, directly on camera.
I was always fascinated by the possibility of handling the negative from the moment of shooting, and this factor was the key one for me when it came the time to chose a camera; I need a fully mechanical camera that allows me to control shutter speed, aperture, and lock the film for double exposure. Doesn’t seem like i am asking to much, am I?
Nowadays is relatively easy to produce double exposure. Although i like digital photography, i always preferred to create my double exposures with my trusty old camera, get out in the streets and enjoy shooting, avoiding tedious hours of post production in front of a computer screen, often ending up with a result that is closer to graphic design than photography.
The magic of double exposure is limitless. I love how it’s possible to mix and mash spaces that are completely different from each other, make them clash inside a new world that takes life inside a negative. I call it pre-darkroom; a manipulation of reality that we cannot affect in any way. Only at the time of processing the film we will how the planes stack with each other. Most times it is actually almost impossible to discern how the images complement each other; it might be simple luck, or it might very well be that these 2 worlds really take a life of their own on the silver of the film, and they become something else. In the end, what we try to do is to clumsily control the light.
Just another frame of this scene looking the opposite direction (compass south and railroad west) at this non revenue Keolis/MBTA extra 'double draft' of the 2003/1716 set towing the dead 1122/1809 set in from Rockport due to the 1122 having a bad starter. They are at MP 17.7 on Main 1 of the Eastern Route mainline and have just left Beverly and entered the city of Salem while crossing the Danvers River on the 905 ft long Beverly Draw in this view looking down from the parallel Essex Street bridge. They are slowing for a stop at the Northey Point interlocking to meet a pair of revenue trains before proceeding on to Boston Engine Terminal in Somerville.
The railroad can trace its roots here back to 1836 when the Eastern Railroad opened between Boston and Portsmouth, NH. By 1884 it was under the control of the Boston and Maine and remained an integral part of the powerful New England class 1 until it was sold in 1976 along with all the other commuter district lines to the commonwealth by the trustees of the then bankrupt road. In 1984 a major fire damaged the bridge and the approach trestles were replaced with concrete but the 105 ft long swing span dating from 1886 wouldn't be replaced until 2017. Since 1984 this bridge has been passenger only, as what was by then Guilford didn't resume freight operations after the bridge was repaired.

There is no questioning who is in charge when this eagle patrols the skies above the Mississippi. There are literally thousands of birds on the river, but only one rules them all. www.troymarcyphotography.com

Flocks of Snow Geese take off in the early morning light from the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge as they move from ponds where they rest at night to the nearby fields to feed.
An intensive farming program at the refuge provides nutritious forage for more than 30,000 wintering geese.
Its interesting that the ponds the geese overnight in are only 6 inches to a foot deep but Snow geese overnight at the ponds in the Salton Sea because these calm, shallow waters provide a safe resting place at night, protecting them from predators like coyotes while allowing them to easily access food sources during the day.
Its really a sight to see these large flocks of birds taking off and landing at once.
