Looking down the chute at the Yellowstone River as it flows downstream of the falls at Inspiration Point. What a gorge this river has carved out of the yellow stone. While not as much of an epiphany as standing on the edge of The Grand Canyon, I'm always filled and thrilled with similar amazement and awe standing on the edge of this smaller canyon.
A few more pics of it in comments.
Many thanks for taking a look and for any remarks, faves and suggestions.
Have a wonderful week. Christmas is almost here!
My enthusiasm for poppies reawakens every year. I heared about this location near me, and I was thrilled. I can now visit and photograph the poppy field whenever I want to and shoot in different light conditions.

They say that Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.
If true or not it doesn't matter because all of this is what I wish to you, dear Flickr friends, in the beginning of one more week, a very special week in some parts of the world ;)

Neuschwanstein embodies both the contemporaneous architectural fashion known as castle romanticism, and King Ludwig II's enthusiasm for the operas of Richard Wagner. At the time of King Ludwig's death the palace was far from complete. He slept only 11 nights in the castle.

Infusiasm = enthusiasm for infusion.
This little tea infuser is definitely fit for purpose. I was fixated on coffee for about 24 hours and then switched my choice for the MM theme at the eleventh hour. Actually, it is quite literally the eleventh hour - well past and catapulting towards midnight. So enough with the babble and on with the brew. HMM to you all!
Vor dem Sonnenaufgang am Hemelsdorfer See.
Was verbirgt das Wort Erwartung....Ich denke, dass ist vor allem Freude, Neugier, Spannung, Ungeduld, Phantasie, Vermutungen, Hoffnung, Begeisterung...
Before sunrise, am Hemelsdorfer lake.
What does the word expectation hide....I think joy, curiosity, tension, enthusiasm, impatience, imagination, assumptions, hope....
(Correction - the time of shot was an hour later than stated. )
A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms. Enthusiasms, enthusiasms... What are mine? What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? Baseball! A man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But in the field, what? Part of a team. Teamwork... Looks, throws, catches, hustles. Part of one big team. Bats himself the live-long day, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and so on. If his team don't field... what is he? You follow me? No one. Sunny day, the stands are full of fans. What does he have to say? I'm goin' out there for myself. But... I get nowhere unless the team wins.

TAKEN FROM THE NORTHERN ECHO.
In these days when statues are toppling on a daily basis, Darlington should say a word in praise of Mr Pease who stands on a plinth in High Row.
In 2008, this statue, erected in 1875, was one of 21 across the country to have their listing schedules enhanced because of their importance to the anti-slavery movement.
Four friezes on Joseph Pease’s plinth tell his life story. On one of those friezes, a slave writes the word “freedom” above the heads of a rejoicing crowd.
The Peases were Quakers, who believed that all people were equal before God. Joseph’s uncle, also called Joseph, lived at Feethams where the Town Hall is today, and from the earliest years of the 19th Century, he led a national campaign against slavery in India.
He fired his daughter, Elizabeth, with enthusiasm for the cause of fairness, and she founded the Darlington Ladies Anti-Slavery Society in the mid-1830s – it was one of the first women’s political movements in the country.
In 1840, Elizabeth was one of six women to attend the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London where, to her horror, she discovered that because she was female she was not only forbidden from speaking but she had to sit behind a bar and a curtain. This unfairness fired her further and she became a feminist, arguing that women should be equal also.
In 1853, though, she married a Glasgow university professor of astronomy who was not a Quaker. “Marrying out” was still frowned upon and so broke ties with Darlington and lived the rest of her life in Edinburgh, campaigning for women to get the vote.
In 1832, Elizabeth persuaded her cousin Joseph to break with Quaker tradition and stand for Parliament so he could further the cause of anti-slavery. He won the South Durham seat, and became the first nonconformist MP in the Commons for 200 years.
Joseph joined fellow MP William Wilberforce in campaigning to free slaves.
In his longest speech, Joseph appealed to other MPs "on behalf of their poor brethren of colour whose sufferings under the present system were of a nature to stimulate every feeling bosom to concede to them a paramount consideration”.
The speech covers 40 pages in Hansard, the Parliamentary record, and as Joseph delivered it, he became increasingly wrapped up in the emotion of it, much to the delight of the Whig MPs opposite him.
Hansard records: "He felt the inadequacy of his powers in pleading such a cause. (Here, the hon gentleman was so affected he was obliged to pause for a moment. Much cheering.)
"The house will pardon me (concluded Mr Pease) for having so long trespassed upon their attention. I am unable to go on. But when the great and solemn day shall come, when I shall myself stand in need of mercy, I hope it will be meted to me in the same measure as I am disposed to mete it to others."
Despite the ridicule, Joseph's speech was widely regarded by anti-slavery campaigners as for providing moral justification for the cause, and the Abolition of Slavery Act received Royal Assent on August 28, 1833.
Unfortunately, Wilberforce never lived to see it – he died a month earlier, just as the Stockton & Darlington Railway was taking delivery of its engine No 23.
The Wilberforce engine crossing the Gaunless.
It was designed by Timothy Hackworth, but had been built by Robert Stephenson & Co in Newcastle. It was a major step forward for the railway: Locomotion No 1 of 1825 had been able to pull 250 tons of coal per mile per hour but locomotive No 23 was able to pull 1,250 tons of coal per mile per hour, and it was the first engine in the dark green paint that the S&DR then adopted for all of its locos.
No 23 was named Wilberforce in honour of the anti-slavery campaigner.

As a follow up to the shot below I have been visiting the pair of swans and their 8 cygnets at least 2/3 times a week trying to obtain shots of the cygnets growth !
I had been feeding them in what would be the near bottom left-hand side of this photo ' when the Cob (Male) Swan just drifted away in the direction of the far side of the dock where they all often either roost, rest or just preen out of the water ! Drifting in the water as he waited for his family the low sun reflecting on the water caught my eye and whilst he is not quite as dark in shadow as I would have liked, I don't think the result is to bad for a 300mm telephoto' shot !

....and Boo with her enthusiasm gets to run up and get in my face.
**I took some time last night to read what I could on the lives of each of the children and the teachers who died in the Uvalde Texas massacre. several of the news media posted pictures and short stories.
the children were born and lived with families who loved them for the short 10-11 years they were here. I thought it was the least I could do to celebrate their lives. I did the same with the 2 teachers.
it was hard reading and I cried a lot but it was my small way of honoring them and their families.
I would like to think that I'll never have to do this again.
I worry about the survivors. they saw things no one should have to see, and they are just little kids.
NO WARS.
NO KILLINGS.
From a series of pictures that I took with great enthusiasm when I first discovered this magical forest by chance 3 years ago. I've been there several times now and the conditions were different each time but never as above.
Aus einer Serie von Bildern, die ich mit großer Begeisterung fotografierte, als ich vor 3 Jahren diesen Zauberwald zum ersten Mal zufällig entdeckt hatte. Inzwischen war ich mehrmals dort und die Bedingungen waren jedesmal anders aber nie so wie oben.
Ein Bild aus der Serie ist Septemberfoto des "Wald - Ackermann Gallery Kalender 2025".
PETER:
A cry: Raaa-punnn-zelll
(Full of enthusiasm)
I can not believe it!
Scout...Scout.....You are absolutely right!!! I haven't been into the tower, but I'm sure Rapunzel lives there!
OLEG: Don't yell so loud, Peter. There are many people walking around here. What is it anyway.
PETER:
Scout said Rapunzel lives in the tower and he's right.
Just look up. Her braid hangs from the bell so the prince can climb up.
I haven't seen the prince yet, but I can be the prince for a while.
OLEG:
Peter....it's not Rapunzel's braid. It's a rope hanging from the bell. You can ring the bell with that.
PETER:
It's clearly a braid!
OLEG:
No, Peter, it's a rope. Rapunzel doesn't live in a lighthouse. If you don't want to believe me, you should ask Paddy.
OLEG: My allerbeste vriend Paddy:
I'm trying to make it clear to Peter that Rapunzel doesn't live in a lighthouse. He doesn't want to believe me.
I love you so much my beate friend!
Heeeeeel veel berenkusjes van Oleg
Many bear kisses from Oleg.
PETER:
Dear Scout.......Oleg doesn't want to believe that Rapunzel lives in the tower with her braid hanging there.
What do you think of it my best friend Scout
I wish you where here.
Ik wou dat je hier was
Ik mis je
Veel berenkusjes van Peter
En veel berenkusjes aan Daddy
Stay safe you all !
This is another of the wonderful native species that I had the opportunity to photograph at The British Wildlife Centre earlier this year.
Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.

The viewing public will always disagree over the intrinsic merits of a particular photograph, but no one can deny the enthusiasm that originally inspired us to capture and offer that image to others :-)
