I wanted to title this picture "Yellow Dory", but changed it to "Endurance" for a good reason. This guy was rowing under the Golden Gate Bridge, into the bay, against the outgoing tide, in the fog. It had to have taken him at least 5 minutes just to row under the bridge itself. Shot from Fort Point.
Beautiful rugged coastal line of the Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca... Has been a long time I did a long exposure shot :)
By March, the worst of the winter would be over. The snow would thaw, the rivers begin to run and the world would wake into itself again. Not this year. Winter hung in there....Day after grey day the ice stayed hard; the world remained unfriendly and cold.

I really like this watch.
It also measures my pulse,
Maybe just that is some sort of subtile message from her to keep track of myself?
Or maybe it is even sending info to Her?
Never mind.
Rock formations in Monument Valley AZ, on ancestral Navajo land. Geotag is only approximate, and maybe this is even in Utah.
The rocks are fine-grained sediments capped by conglomerates, deposited in the Triassic Era, about 240 million years ago. The pillars were carved by much younger rivers, maybe 10 million years ago or less. The patterns in the “desert varnish” are likely still evolving during infrequent rains, and the clouds are made fresh at every moment.
Happy Mono Monday!

"The manner in which one endures what must be enured is more important than the thing that must be endured"
D. Acheson
I was gone for a while, having very busy time at work...
I'm back now, and I hope I'm back for good :-)

One storm passed, another one coming. This barn still stands though with little purpose now. For most of us, a successful life consists of learning how to endure the storms.

I went to the beach today to watch the sunset but the clouds was blocking the view >__<...It's been a while since I went to the beach to just relax. I took a couple of shots here and there but I like this one for some reason. It has the tilt shift (Did I spell that right?) feeling but sadly my attempt to capture the paddlers with the sunset along didn't happened.
Anyways, I hope someday I could paddle with these guys. It's fun and it's a good work out but you need a lot of stamina.
BTW...feel free to download this photo =)...
In August 1914, Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Shackleton) started an incredible expedition to the Antarctic.
This voyage is also known as the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Trans-Antarctic_Expedition).
Endurance was the name of the ship in which Sir Ernest Shackleton sailed for the Antarctic. On board were 28 men and 69 dogs.
Shackleton planned to cross the Antarctic on foot. But shortly before its arrival in the Antarctic the Endurance became locked in ice and was finally crushed.
Thus the legendary survival of Shackleton and his crew began.

ثلاثه عدو وانزلوا قالوا اثنين
واحد صفر وانهدت الخيل طوفان
خيل الدول تنعد فوق الثمانين
على عدد خيل الدول عد فرسان
صار المدى كله صهيل وعناوين
مهره فلانيه وذا الفارس فلان
من كيلوات الدرب اميه وستين
سباق يعذر طوله الصلب لي لان
كلن على خيله هقاويه هنتين
واحنا لنا هقوه ولخيولنا شان
الفوز ثم الفوز من دون تخمين
ياخيلنا يا مرجفات المياديين
العاديات السابقه وقتها زان
يا خيلنا مادري علينا تغارين
واحنا عليج انغير كالدم فرسان
صبـــر جميل يوم تمشيــن
ولي من مشيتي يصبح الصبر نيران
فينا وفيج من الحماسه تشبين
جمر الرجال اللي على العز تيجان
This was in Sheikh Rashid bin Hamdan Challenge 2 - 120km and the last race in this season.
I wanted to shoot this unique scene after the grueling (but fun) hike to the Wave. Weather was promising with monsoon storm forecasted so I decided to car-camp the night before right below rock. Wind was blowing sand all night & even rained a little. After some restless sleep I got up to the top & searched for a good tree.... & found one. It amazes me that in this desolate dry land a healthy cottonwood tree can thrive in this natural 'pot' by just feeding on pooling water from occasional storms. And the rock formation is other-worldly....
Was hoping for a better sunrise burn but I am quite content with what I got from just 1 morning visit :) Hope u like it too.

Edit: Yes, replaced the original picture. Now you can see the chicken boy!
In the realm of the evil Queen Tara a baby has been born... a baby who is heir to the throne and destined to one day bring vengeance on her for her tyranny... destined, that is, if he can survive the hunt!
When I first saw the Where's Waldo category for Brickscalibur I was stumped, but somewhere along the line I said to myself, I want to hide a baby. Around the same time I had the idea that it would be someone escaping from a ruler and have the V shaped background--and the two concepts merged perfectly.
Whew! This was a fun build, but a slow going one. I built for 15+ hours almost without a break yesterday, and then did the same today! It was like building 20 super detailed vignettes. Yes, I should have started earlier.
I tried to load up with a lot of different scenes and included 4 minifigures from 3 other Brickscalibur entries! Unfortunately two of them didn't make this picture, but see if you can spot the peasant from the Guarded Inn and the little boy from Courage!
I know this picture could be better in natural light, so I'll be doing that sometime next week (and trying to get a wider angle), and also taking some detail shots as there is so much stuff going on here!
Did it! See close-ups on Insta.

You know that moment when you figure sunrise color was a bust then a magical hole appears in the clouds. Just enough for the sun to pop through and radiate through the layers. Color was brief, but so happy I found it. Mission accomplished. Botnay Bay, South Carolina
