Located in the center of the State of Illinois, Sangamon County's economy is based upon healthcare, professional services, state government, tourism and agriculture. The county seat and largest city is Springfield, the state capitol and my adopted hometown for the past four decades.
Of the 102 counties in the State of Illinois, Sangamon County ranks 9th in market value of agricultural products sold. Ninety-two percent of this value comes from crops, and 8 percent comes from livestock, poultry and products. The population of Sangamon County at the 2020 census was 195,963.

I went to do a photo shoot the other day, and my husband, wandered down the road looking for deer. Instead he found this stunning view ~of course I had to get a picture

Bermeo, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
La villa de Bermeo es un municipio vizcaíno de la comarca de Busturialdea, en la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco, España. Se trata de una de las localidades más pobladas de la comarca de la Reserva de la Biosfera de Urdaibai junto con Guernica y Luno, con 16 864 habitantes (INE, 2020).
Fundada en 1236, la villa ostentó el título de Cabeza de Vizcaya desde 1476 hasta 1602, siendo la principal población del Señorío de Vizcaya. Es por ello por lo que Bermeo gozó de ciertos privilegios y por lo que gozaba de mayor relevancia frente al resto de villas en las Juntas Generales de Vizcaya. A esto cabe añadirle las juras que los reyes realizaban en la iglesia de Santa Eufemia cada vez que visitaban la provincia.
Actualmente, se trata de una villa arraigada a la tradición marinera, ya que su economía se basa mayoritariamente en la pesca y en las conservas de pescado.
Posee además diferentes atractivos turísticos tales como la ermita de San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, la torre Ercilla (Museo del pescador), la Puerta de San Juan, el casco antiguo, la Atalaya y el manicomio y su acogedor puerto, entre otros.
The town of Bermeo is a Biscayan municipality in the Busturialdea region, in the autonomous community of the Basque Country, Spain. It is one of the most populated towns in the region of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, together with Guernica and Luno, with 16,864 inhabitants (INE, 2020).
Founded in 1236, the town held the title of Head of Vizcaya from 1476 to 1602, being the main population of the Lordship of Vizcaya. That is why Bermeo enjoyed certain privileges and why it enjoyed greater relevance compared to the rest of the towns in the General Meetings of Vizcaya. To this must be added the oaths that the kings made in the church of Santa Eufemia every time they visited the province.
Currently, it is a town rooted in the seafaring tradition, since its economy is based mainly on fishing and canned fish.
It also has different tourist attractions such as the hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, the Ercilla tower (Fisherman's Museum), the Puerta de San Juan, the old town, the Atalaya and the asylum and its welcoming port, among others.

Candid street and reportage photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Captured these Gold Dust Day Geckos enjoying the nectar on these plants a few years back on the Big Island of Hawaii. Thought it would be nice to contrast them to my large lumpy lizards on the bayou. A bit more color in these little characters when compared to the gators.
The window install is not as invasive as I thought it would be and is rolling along smoothly. I’ll get to my comments as time permits.

I can now continue to reveal the competing images from the 2021 Sandwich Fair Competition.
These images continue the series from the Sandwich Fair, the biggest and the last county fair in the state of Illinois. Known simply as "The Fair" by locals, it was started in 1888 and is the oldest continually-operated county fair in Illinois as well.
Held the week after Labor Day, the Sandwich Fair can draw tens of thousands of visitors per day and is a photographer's delight.
It is the reason why my photography club, the Sandwich Photographic Society exists. Formed in 1986 to document every aspect of the 100th Sandwich Fair in 1987, SPS is now a Chicago Area Camera Club Association certified club.
SPS sponsors a "Sandwich Fair Challenge" every year a themed photographic competition open to all that consists of 10-15 categories with the only criteria being that all images need to be taken at the current year's Fair. Many of the images featured in this series were taken to fit these categories.
This image is of one of the antique engines found inside the railroad tracks as part of the antique engine display, a long-running hallmark of the Sandwich Fair. These antique engines are highly collectible and prized by their owners. Many have been lovingly restored. This one, made under the Economy label, still runs, and is part of a belt-driven display that either shucks corn, pumps water, or saws wood.

The Guineafowl is a bird that I often see while travelling through farmland. I have seen them everywhere from Nova Scotia to Southern Ontario. They are quite an interesting farm bird.

A tiny section of the enormous Ineos PetroChina oil refinery at Grangemouth, Scotland.
The 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) gets underway in Glasgow from 31st October 2021. Described as our last chance to save the world from an irreversible climate catastrophe.
With over 30,000 people attending including former US President Obama, an a street march by thousands lead by Greta Thunberg, and many, many demonstrations and strike action in the city - it will be a lively period and with absolute surety, a Covid19 Super-spreader event.
I'm absolutely broken that I can't be there with my camera documenting the occasion amongst the everyday people of the city. I'm just weeks away from being due for a booster shot so my immunity is now at it's weakest while cases are soaring.
Personally I think we are closer to 'running out of time' than we fear. Several tipping-point events have already occurred in the past couple of years and some feedback loops are starting to get going. It is going to be a rocky road ahead.
I cannot see how our whole economy is viable. We are consuming many times more than our earth can provide and corporations and governments are looking for year upon year growth and expansion. We are over-resourcing our finite resource already. Truly drastic change to society, culture, attitude and our way of life is needed and I don't see that it will, or can, happen. Too many attitudes of selfishness and entitlement abound when we can only succeed if we work together to look out for each other.
I come back to a statement I have made many times here on Flickr with my photographs.
We are one single species on one solitary earthly oasis in the vastness of space.
Our earth can thrive without us but we cannot thrive without our earth. It is long overdue that we stopped choking the life out of our home in the universe. Time that we stopped raping our earth of resources. Time that we just stopped, looked and cared for our world... our home... our life.
Be safe.
Wieder bei bestem Wetter stand ich auch am 13.Juni 2023 wieder an einem der Topmotive im Rheingau und beobachtete den Zugverkehr auf der rechten Rheinstrecke (KBS 466).
Zu sehen ist links der inzwischen frisch renovierte sogn. "Mäusetum", der seinem Namen einer Sage zu verdanken hat, und die Burg Ehrenfels nördlich von Rüdesheim am Rhein.
Auf dem Gipfel zu sehen ist weiterhin die Ruine Rossel.
Der erste fotogene Güterzug auf der rechten Rheinstrecke (KBS 466) gen Süden war der DGS 42827 von Lokomotion mit der DB Cargo 193 318 (Werbelok I am the backbone of the economy “ich bin das Rückgrat der Wirtschaft“) von Oberhausen West nach Pordenone in Italien für Hupac.
Der Zug kommt mit einer anderen Zugnummer aus dem C.RO Terminal in Rotterdam Botlek in den Niederlanden.
Da der Zug ca. 1,5 Stunden Verspätung hatte konnte ich dieses Motiv mal umsetzten:-) .
Markant für diese Verbindung sind die roten Trailer vom Logistikdienstleister Codognotto.
Im Rahmen der „I am“-Serie von DB Cargo sind auch die 193 in der letzten Zeit um einiges bunter geworden. Im Juli 2020 wurde eine weitere Vectron-Multisystem-Lokomotive der Baureihe 193 mit Eigenwerbung versehen.
Seit dem ist auch die 193 318 mit dieser Folierung unterwegs.
I chose this photo to post to "Your Best Shot 2017" (www.flickr.com/groups/yourbestshot2017/)
This image represents an important event in the world in 2017 and also an important event in my life. I started my life as a political-and-social-activist at age 15, so it seemed appropriate to mark my 50+ years as an activist at age 71 by attending the Women's March in DC on Jan 21, 2017.
The women, men, and children at the march showed support for many issues, including the environment. This image ended up in Explore, so it was not only my favorite image from the event, but became the fave of many Flickr members, too.

Women's March - Washington DC, 01/21/17
This is one of my favorite signs that I saw in DC.
I don't allow downloads on my Flickr account, but if you want to use this photo (or others from the Women's March) in protest to the current administration or to use for civil rights (for everyone) issues, or to highlight environmental issues, send me a Flickr msg with your email and the title of my image. I'll send you a jpg file.
The woman holding the sign reminds me of one of my best friends in college. She's now, like me, in her 70's, but this reminds me of her during our college days.
