Almost 4 years to the date. It's going to be sooooooo bitchen! I'm getting stoked. Looking at shot locations, basic Sierra High Route to Lake Basin Marion Lake. Then Cataract Creek Pass but why hurry is my general feeling. Then I'd like to make it to Cataract Creek Pass, just a walk in the park from the west side. Shot down to Amphitheatre Lake would be nice.
Pictures of Marion Lake from Red Pass, and Dumbbell Lake is also on my list.
Of course, Windy Point will be a camp spot, hopefully with a couple Milky-way shots.
Forcast calls for days in the mid 60s and nights in the high 40s.

… one month yes, and one no, my Provincial Health Authority of Messina sends me on a three-day mission (from Taormina) to the Civil Hospital of Lipari, located in via Sant'Anna…In my spare time, free from work commitments, I dedicate myself to my photographic passion; the photographs that I present here were all taken in the months of this year 2023; I made various photos according to the dictates of street photography (or street photography), I made some portraits, having always met people in the hand, very willing to let themselves be photographed (perhaps it will be ... that the people of the island are open-minded, eager and used to to communicate with strangers..?!), some portraits were made of people intent on their work; all the photos were taken in the city of Lipari, except for two taken in the port of Milazzo, the departure and arrival point of the hydrofoils (but there is also the ship) for the Aeolian Islands. I met (and photographed) the sweet lady, very good and appreciated American artist, Mrs Janette Little (photographed together with her affable and very nice husband, of Aeolian origins); of the talented artist mrs Janette in addition to her portrait I propose two of her works, I had noticed them some time ago, I had wanted to bring some photos of these works with me, now I propose them in black and white because this is a monochrome series, I note however that the originals are in color, for those wishing to see his works, I add the link to his web site below.

….un mese si, ed uno no, la mia Azienda Sanitaria Provinciale di Messina, mi manda in missione per tre giorni (da Taormina) all’Ospedale Civile di Lipari, situato in via Sant’Anna …Nei ritagli di tempo, libero dagli impegni di lavoro, mi dedico alla mia passione fotografica; le fotografie che qui presento sono state tutte realizzate nei mesi di quest’anno 2023; ho realizzato varie foto secondo i dettami della fotografia di strada (o street photography), ho realizzato alcuni ritratti, avendo incontrato sempre persone alla mano, molto disponibili nel lasciarsi fotografare (sarà forse…che la gente isolana è di mentalità aperta, desiderosa ed abituata a comunicare con gli estranei..?!), alcuni ritratti sono stati eseguiti a persone intente nei loro lavori; tutte le foto sono state realizzate nella città di Lipari, tranne due realizzate nel porto di Milazzo, scalo di partenza e di arrivo degli aliscafi (ma c’è anche la nave) per le isole Eolie. Ho conosciuto (e fotografato) la dolcissima signora, bravissima ed apprezzata artista, di origini americane mrs Janette Little (fotografata insieme al suo affabile e simpaticissimo marito, di origini eoliane); della bravissima artista mrs Janette oltre al suo ritratto propongo due sue lavori, li avevo notati tempo fa, avevo desiderato portare con me alcune foto di queste opere, adesso le propongo in bianco e nero perché questa è una serie in monocromia, faccio notare però che gli originali sono a colori, per chi desiderasse vedere i suoi lavori, aggiungo sotto il link al suo sito sul web.

Glico is a Japanese snacks brand that have made appearances worldwide. This sign is one of the most photographed locations in Osaka as well. Some people might also imitate the pose of the guy in the sign for fun.
Great blue herons' size (3.2 to 4.5 feet/1 to 1.4 meters) and wide wingspan (5.5 to 6.6 feet/1.7 to 2 meters) make them a joy to see in flight. They can cruise at some 20 to 30 miles (32 to 48 kilometers) an hour.
Pressing L is nice ;-)
At the end of day
I always thank Mother Nature for all the beauty in the world.

After a long career of pulling freight for several different railroads, two diesel locomotives of the Rapid City Pierre & Eastern had been moved over their final length of steel rails and into a Huron, South Dakota metal processing yard to be scrapped.
Both had been deemed not worthy of repair after sustaining wreck damage. – Quite the sad ending indeed for a pair of once very fine looking EMD SD40-2s. – June 8th, 2023 ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©

I found this old car in a paddock just out of Gordon in the north of South Australia. Gordon is between Quorn and Hawker.

Travel Destination :: Bali Indonesia
My first genuine encounter with Balinese culture was in the small village of Tampaksiring called Penempaham. I was the only foreigner in the Temple that day and was warmly welcomed by the villagers. I had no idea what was happening but a young Balinese boy quickly befriended me and explained all that was taking place.
It was on this day I began to wrap my head around the genuine dedication the Balinese have to their beliefs, as well as the strong sense of community. This was also the day my love for Bali grew immensely. If you are looking for a rich cultural adventure and travel destination you will not forget, add Bali to your list of top places to visit.
These are a few things I learned while in the small Balinese village:
In Bali, there is no single day without a ceremony. It is an obligation for the Balinese to promote balance relations among human, gods and nature. Those principles are materialized through a sacrifice called Yadnya. Yadnya can be a very simple thing like giving a slice of one's food to a wandering dog or cleaning up rubbish in a temple area. Yadnya, or giving away, is the root of most ceremonies in Bali.
There are five obligations or Panca Yadnya. Dewa Yadnya is for thanking the God, Pitra Yadnya to respect the ancestor's souls. Manusa Yadnya is for cleaning human souls. Rsi Yadnya is held when someone wants to be a priest and Bhuta Yadnya is for thanking nature and balancing positive and negative powers.

No matter where I drive, there's always a better than even chance I'm going to pull over at some point to photograph something or other. This little building attracted my attention the other day while doing some errands. There was just something rather forlorn about its appearance. One glance at the proportions of those windows told me it was historic. Turns out it was built in 1918 as the township hall. It survives today as a rental facility for birthday parties and wedding events. I love the sense of Americana that the scene inspires, and made sure to back up far enough to capture the building in the context of its environment. I am always attracted to the sense of desolation in photos such as this, town scenes that encompass several acres or more, shot in the middle of the day, but completely devoid of people or vehicles.
The sea-cliff bridge is a location I've always wondered how to photograph - it's such a scenic stretch of road but the few times I've driven along it have left me wondering where or how exactly I would do it justice in an image.
This morning was my time to try and despite a fairly lacklustre sunrise I was fortunate enough to be able to compose the ocean and cliffs as having the most space in the shot and concentrate on the few clouds sitting near the horizon.

With stacks blasting blue exhaust and hot traction motors straining, the 1201 was nearing its destination after a eight mile run from Shelton and was about one mile out from The Dayton Dry Sort yard. The hardest pull on the line is a hill known as The Sand Cut, a one mile long 2% grade, quite a bit of toil for the Simpson switchers even with two manned helpers on the rear of a heavy train of wet logs. The log trains are gone now but tourist rail-bikes still use the railroad in the summer. Perhaps someday scenic excursion trains will utilize the old line where logs were once hauled by train from 1895 until 2014. Note the pop can attached to a tree top like a Christmas decoration

In this 258 feet long tunnel, I only have few second to decide the metering and composition for this shot.
How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.
