We love to expect, and when expectation is either disappointed or gratified, we want to be again expecting.

Whilst this photo isn't particularly spectacular, (I do love the colours though), there was a degree of expectation attached to the moment which made it special. The four of us have a chequered history when it comes to whale watching. Up until this point, I was the only one who had ever seen one in its natural environment and that was nearly 20 years ago off the coast of Cape Cod, USA. Since then we'd been on numerous trips but had come away with a big fat zero sightings. We were beginning to think we were fated never to see any which was one of the prime reasons we went to Iceland.
Nestled on the edge of Shaky Bay in north Iceland, the town of Húsavík is globally recognised as one of the best locations in the world from which to watch whales. In fact, there is a higher chance of seeing whales in Húsavík than any other place in Iceland. Surely we would break our whale watching duck!
A small armada of boats like this one were lined up on the quayside waiting to ferry tourists to the mouth of the bay some 5-10 miles away, their sole aim being to try and spot the gentle giants. To be continued!!

A Sci-fi and fantasy concert held under the wings of Concorde. I never went with the expectation of great photography, but nevertheless took my camera to see what I could capture. General shots were out of the question with so many people at the event, but a few detail images caught my eye.
The anorak bit…
Concorde is a tailless aircraft design with a narrow fuselage permitting a 4-abreast seating for 92 to 128 passengers, an ogival delta wing and a droop nose for landing visibility. It is powered by four Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojets with variable engine intake ramps, and reheat for take-off and acceleration to supersonic speed. Constructed out of aluminium, it was the first airliner to have analogue fly-by-wire flight controls. The airliner could maintain a super-cruise speed up to Mach 2.04 (2,167 km/h; 1,170 kn; 1,347 mph) at an altitude of 60,000 ft (18.3 km).
Delays and cost overruns increased the programme cost to £1.5–2.1 billion in 1976, (£9–13.2 billion in 2021). Concorde entered service on 21 January of that year with Air France from Paris-Roissy and British Airways from London Heathrow. Transatlantic flights were the main market, to Washington Dulles from 24 May, and to New York JFK from 17 October 1977. Air France and British Airways remained the sole customers with seven airframes each, for a total production of twenty. Supersonic flight more than halved travel times, but sonic booms over the ground limited it to transoceanic flights only.
Its only competitor was the Tupolev Tu-144, carrying passengers from November 1977 until a May 1978 crash, while the larger and faster Boeing 2707 was cancelled in 1971. On 25 July 2000, Air France Flight 4590 crashed shortly after take-off with all 109 occupants and four on ground killed, the only fatal incident involving Concorde. Commercial service was suspended until November 2001, and Concorde aircraft were retired in 2003 after 27 years of commercial operations. Most aircraft are on display in Europe and America.
If you’ve read this far… have a look at the label above the engine manufacture.
Bu ne biçim Postacı
Üç defa çalıyor kapıyı
Bu ne biçim kel
Hem merhemi var
Hem sürmüyor başına
Bu ne biçim biçimler
İstediğiniz kadar çoğaltılabilir
Memleket çok müsait buna
Örneğin yeni bir komşu taşındı karşıya
Bir baktım Fahriye Abla!
Kırk yıllık bir rötar yapmış
Erzincan Treni
Ben gelmişim şu yaşıma
O ise şiirdeki yaşından gün almamış daha
Benimki ne biçim hayat
Uymuyor ne gördüklerime
ne duyduklarıma
ne okuduklarıma
Ben ne biçim benim
Ne kendime benziyorum
Ne başkalarına

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
[Romans 8:18-21 NIV]
5 MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
Found on the web:
A cab driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to impart his kind of training to corporate executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride.
I had flown into Dallas for the sole purpose of calling on a client. Time was of the essence and my plan included a quick turnaround trip from and back to the airport. A spotless cab pulled up.
The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver's seat, he mentioned that the neatly folded Wall Street Journal next to me for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy.
Well! I looked around for a "Candid Camera!" Wouldn't you? I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, "Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell."
"You bet," he replied, "I used to be in Corporate America. But I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my niche in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be.
I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, being of service and feeling like I have done a full day's work and done it well. I evaluate my personal assets and... wham! I became a cab driver.
One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply just meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to EXCEED the customer's expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being 'great' better than just getting by on 'average'"
Did I tip him big time? You bet! Corporate America's loss is the traveling folk's friend!

Having left early in the expectation of having the best weather for a misty sunrise after a rainy day. The last remaining clouds in the west reduced the light, just in time I swiveled from panoramas that I had in mind to macros. Half hidden behind the blade of grass, the sun hides forth, while in the dew-drenched blossom an insect still slumbers.
Blume & Sonnenaufgang
Früh aufgebrochen in der Erwartung nach einem regnerischen Tag beste Bedignungen für einen nebelreichen Sonnenaufgang zu haben. Letzte Restwolken im Westen reduzierten das Licht, gerade noch rechtzeitig schwenkte ich von Panoramen, die ich im Kopf hatte, um auf Makros. Halb hinter dem Grashalm versteckt glunst die Sonne hervor, während in der mit vielen Tautropfen übersäten Blüte noch ein Insekt schlummert.
