Due to an un for seen family medical matter I could not get out for my planned firework photographs. I had to think of something different.

"We are not afraid of death, we afraid that no one is probably going to miss our absence."--These lines are one of my favorite quote and most of the time I remember this when I enter in my facebook info page and see these lines are highlighted there. In most of the cases I see it and then leave it there. But today I was having an idle and hot like hell afternoon in home and started to think the most frequently asked question since the beginning of time,"What is death?" Definitely it's a question out of my league so stopped there after a while and did what these days every person with an internet connection do, googled it! Yes, many answers came out and I became lost out there. I've experienced this afternoon the clinical-religious, ancient-modern and so many different kinds of definition of death but every single one of them tells the same story in different packages. So, there I stopped and went back to the quote. In my mind death is something where we will be missed, missed by people we love, people we care.
I tried tilt shift with my 50mm f/1.8 here. It was fun doing this experiment.

If you look close enough you can actually see I turned to the actual page where Love is defined in the dictionary. The shot wouldn't be complete w/out that.

**********
WHITLOW-GRASS (Erophila verna). XVI century, Gerard 1597. E.verna was known to 16th century herbalists as *paronychia vulgaris*, from its use in curing a whitlow (Latin *paronychia*). Hence Gerard's coinage for a plant which was too inconspicuous to have acquired common names.
(from A Dictionary of English Plant Names. G Grigson. 1974)
'Gerard' refers to John Gerard (1545-1607), London apothecary. Author/editor of *The Herball or General Historie of Plantes* which based on a Dutch herbal by Rembert Dodoens (1517-1585). Many English plant names first appear in the *Herball*, which was evidently read by Shakespeare.

According to information obtainable on the interwebs, Engine 14 is a Baldwin 2-8-2 Mikado type Steam Locomotive, built in October of 1912! That's the same year the Titanic sank! And yet there it sits, right in front of me at the East Broad Top Railroad in Orbisonia, PA. The Friends of the E.B.T. graciously opened their doors for a tour of the roundhouse and shops. Sadly the Scenic operations shut down in 2011, but they patiently await a new owner who hopefully will see the deep value in this historic site. It gave me goosebumps to stand in this roundhouse again since I had visited a couple times as a child. It's really quite the experience to check this place out!
