"Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life"
Credits :
Two people are putting together a compass.
One of them says, "Okay, I got the North part here, South here, and East right here". Then the other guy says, "where's the West of it?”
HSoS!

Start your day in a upward direction, and the rest of the day will follow the uphill path.

Not only when hiking off trails in the hills of the Wiehengebirge it is important to know the right direction. At the end of the day this rule is essential in all parts of life. Wittekindsberg, Ostwestfalen, Germany
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

My instinct is to think its pointless to talk about how much I love one of my images- of course, why else would I share them. Nonetheless, this is one of those images that speaks to me more vividly than others. The way installed, man-made lighting makes the curves, bends and reach of these branches come to life.. and you only need to take a walk at night by this beach to enjoy it. What a beautiful existence we enjoy.

Often, the direction is decisive for the impression.
A mirror-like surface of the Kennet and Avon Canal wasn’t disturbed around this narrowboat peacefully gliding on the surface of a water. These two images had a little story to tell. I have spotted this boat earlier and moved around the canal bend that offered a better background. A young chap in spotting me with a camera pointed in their direction has climbed the top and moved forwards with a glass of sherry. After I finished my “shooting session” he moved back to the rare of the boat and we waved to each other with smiles.
The Kennet & Avon Canal runs for 87 miles from the centre of Bath to Reading connecting the Bristol channel, river Avon and the river Thames, important navigation route in the past before railways, now popular tourist attraction, both on the water and alongside with miles of walks and cycling routes.

Wenn man zur morgendlichen Rushhour auf die Abfahrtstafel des Bahnhofs von Amiens blickt, findet sich ein Zielbahnhof besonders häufig: Paris Nord! 6h04, 6h23, 6h38, 6h43 (mit Umstieg in Creil), 7h04... Wer französische Fahrpläne kennt, dem ist klar, dass das ein wirklich ungewöhnlich dichtes Zugangebot ist. Die Strahlkraft der Hauptstadt Paris ist eben ungebrochen und die Zahl der Arbeitnehmer, die täglich auch aus dem weiteren Umland pendeln, rechtfertigt den dichten Takt ohne Zweifel.
Nicht minder üppig sind dabei meist die Zuglängen. Und was den Bahnfotografen erfreut: Ein Großteil der Verbindungen ist noch lokbespannt, entweder als Corail- oder als Doppelstockgarnitur, jeweils mit einer "Nez cassé" an der Spitze! :)
Einer dieser Züge ist der TER 848536 (Amiens - Paris Nord), den ich am 21. Juli 2020 pünktlich zum Sonnenaufgang erwartete. Den ersten und einzigen Zwischenhalt Longueau (samt namhaftem Dépôt) hat der Zug gerade verlassen, als er zwischen Fouencamps und Dommartin im zarten Morgenlicht durch die von weiten Stoppelfeldern überzogene Hügellandschaft der Capitale entgegen strebt. Im Hintergrund wabert auch an diesem Hochsommermorgen noch der für die Somme-Region typische Frühnebel, der hier über dem Flüsschen Avre und diversen kleinen Teichen aufsteigt.
Laut Umlaufplan hätte das übrigens eine BB 22200 mit Corail-Wagen sein sollen, aber über die schicke Multiservice-BB 15049 mit ihrer V2N-Garnitur habe ich mich mindestens genauso gefreut.
This view of San Marco Square never happens except at 5:00 am in March when the lights are still on and the only visitors are a couple of photographers hauling their tripods around. What a sight this is!
Thanks to the direction of our kind friend Maurizio Fecchio who told us how to get this view. The first morning he took us here was heavy fog and while I got a couple of unique moody captures, we came back 2 days later and got this. This was despite severe jet lag and a 4:00am rise.
Please press L and view in full screen.
Thank you so much for your visit!

'Life is like music: it must be composed by ear, following the feeling and instinct, not the rules.' '
Samuel Butler
(...).....Gail and I stood at the dock until after sunset, sitting on a bench just in front of the boat, staring for hours, like two children who had received a much desired gift, but you would never have dreamed of having.
We were a bit 'scared and not quite sure what we had decided to do. But imagine that it was normal to feel some dismay when it faces a radical transformation of its existence, when you are leaving what Gail and I called 'protected area', that area circumscribed in their own personal universe in which reigns routine and you feel safe because everything is familiar and predictable. When you are about to crossing the borders to venture into the unknown, it's as though it were missing the ground under their feet.....(....)
