ENDINGS -
It's not the endings that will haunt you
But the space where they should lie,
The things that simply faded
Without one final wave goodbye.
Like a book with torn out pages,
Forgetting things you're sure you knew,
A question with no answer
And a song stopped halfway through.
So when your mind attempts to store them
Their crooked shape will never fit,
And forever in the corners
Of your consciousness they sit.
Jagged edges made from moments
You can't be quite sure were the last,
Slicing open thoughts that healed
As they attempt to slip right past.
You see, Not knowing is what haunts you,
The memories that never mend,
For they are puzzles missing pieces
Of all the things that didn't .....
e.h

Clicked while standing outside my home. Resized and cropped, but otherwise untouched. The RF-S 18-150mm is way better than the older EF-S 18-135mm kit lens and offers that much more focal length. A great cheap general purpose lens.
this is russian sage. it begins with gray-green foliage then produces purple blossoms, which eventually turn into these seed pods. i think there’s beauty in all cycles of life, from birth to death. sometimes the end is actually the beginning. sometimes the end is surprisingly beautiful.
A local sunset with a tree reaching the end of its time, looking rather forlorn in a field that has been home for the last Century or so!
It is sad to see so many of our stately trees dying off. I was actually driving back to the house and saw that the sky was quite interesting at dusk, so I stopped and took this shot. I had noticed this tree previously and thought it would make a worthy subject for an image if the conditions were decent..
Tired of me and love now a grave than the places we could have been,
Its leaves- all shed, and the twigs- dried and broken,
But I remain in the root, where it has kept me,
How, my body has outgrown my soul.
I loved this body, that loved me too,
We loved the light and had no fear of its ability to blind,
And loved the waters and had no fear of drowning
But it now float scarcely as it scarcely could see
I believe there was a time,
When it healed though I had it bruised,
When it recalled the faces of my own,
Then, It promised a youth, but so brief I do not recall
But were there, times too I could listen to it,
And failed like it failed in its promises to me,
And promised it a bathe, a walk, a caress,
but gave it none
But there were such times it wanted shelter; and for it I stole.
It has conveyed me through the deep and dark and cold
And has brought me love and mercy and love and kindness
But now it goes, and goes to rest or dance or blossom in the earth,
Leaving me with the waters, uncovered, unprotected, not to float like the water, but to drop evermore like a coin.
Conrail GP8 #5450 is running south through Norwich, NY with the local, just in from Sherburne, over the "hump" at Mitchell St. This was once the site of an overpass with tight confines. The railroad later removed it and raised the roadbed to accommodate a grade crossing instead. This would give head room for taller freight cars, such as trailers on flat cars.
The job will tie up in the Norwich Yard two blocks away.
The Dinh Vua Mèo, or Hmong King’s Palace, was built in the early 20th century by Vuong Chinh Duc, a powerful Hmong leader whose wealth stemmed from the opium trade. The palace is a stunning fusion of architectural styles, combining Chinese feng shui principles, French colonial influences, and Hmong cultural motifs.
Local folklore surrounding the palace tells of a forbidden love between a Hmong prince and a commoner, a romance that defied the rigid social expectations of the time. When their secret was uncovered, the couple faced the wrath of the king, who forbade their union. The tale diverges in its endings: one version recounts their tragic separation, with sorrowful echoes said to haunt the palace halls; another imagines a daring escape into the remote mountains, where they lived in anonymity but free to love. This duality—tragedy and freedom—adds an air of mystery and poignancy to the palace’s storied past.
*Third Ending: After 3 weeks on the road we started to get a little silly. Perhaps a third version of the ending? Model Trang Nguyen was a great sport.
The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.

I woke up yesterday morning to a heavy fog but by the time I aired the the three pouches (15 minutes) the early morning sun had burned most it. The day was magnificent and ended with a beautiful sunset. It is hard to believe that three months ago I would have had to point the camera almost due west to get the sunset, now it is setting northwest of the house.
Sun up over the ruins of Corfe Castle. Definitely worth the effort getting up early but now time to go back to bed
Rhos on Sea
Rhos means 'moor' or 'moorland' in Welsh. It is a region to the east of the River Conwy in north Wales. It started as a minor kingdom then became a medieval cantref, and was usually part of the Kingdom of Gwynedd (later the region became part of Denbighshire, then Clwyd, and is now in Conwy county borough).
Rhos is identified as a small kingdom during the sub-Roman and early medieval periods in an Old Welsh genealogical document ‘Ancestry of the Kings and Princes of Wales’ listing thirteen of its kings (including two who are known to have ruled the wider region of Gwynedd).
The most famous monarch was perhaps Cynlas Goch, the son of Owain Ddantgwyn, who lived in the early 6th century and was denounced by the monk, Gildas. He wrote (in Latin) that Cynlas was the “guider of the chariot which is the receptacle of the bear“. The latter may refer to a “Fort of the Bear”, possibly Dinerth, the name of a hillfort on Bryn Euryn in Llandrillo-yn-Rhos. The road that runs below the western side of the hill is still called Dinerth Road and Dinarth Hall is nearby.

Hanukkah is closing... And coming into the New Year it's always about what to do next. Resolutions are made, goals and new priorities. These are good things and the New Year can be a source of motivation and change for many people. In the last few years however I've started looking at the year that I am leaving as a source to learn from and be motivated from. This past year was a hard year in many aspects and ways... I want to look back on 2016 and be thankful for the mistakes I've made and learned from, for the experiences that Life has taught me, for the memories I have made, for loved ones that are still with me, for my health. Despite the hardships, trials and darkness that went in on this year, there is so much MORE good that I have to be thankful for. That is the attitude I want to have going forward into 2017. I wish every one of you a happy, joyous and strength filled New Year. May you be prosperous, successful, healthy...May you be courageous and strong in the face of 2017 as you were in 2016. :) Love to you all my friends.
though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

So we got dumped with another 15cm and it feels like this snow is never ending. We probably have about 60cm on the ground right now and another snowstorm is coming on the weekend!

I hadn't intended to walk along here today but the intended path along Pear Tree Lane was blocked by house building activity. I hope this lane which leads to the medieval Stonebow Bridge over Blackbrook escapes the builder's attentions.
End of day and beginning of a run for summer on the river.
Most of the snow and ice is gone. Taken around ten PM.
This place in the Dolomites is truly fantastic. In this period there are many flowers. The contrast with the leaden sky was the best I could expect to capture the atmosphere and try to convey my point of view.
Happy starts for passengers heading home for the evening outside happy endings.
Its not the destination, its the journey getting there.
The image shows a loaded coal train from the Shakhtinsk coal yard, on route to the Central Enrichment Facility No. 1. The locomotive is TEM7A-125, a cute little shunting engine for particularly heavy-duty tasks. We were in the "Абайский район" area; to the left, behind mine water basin, the outskirts of the Шахта Абайская begin. The first track on the level crossing also leads to this mine.
