With the Moon overhead, the fast approaching sunrise turns the horizon a mix of reds and oranges.
I wish you all a fantastic week-end my dear flickr friends!
Title is a quote from Forrest Gump - the movie that has probably touched me & influenced me the most in my life.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Sometimes we just have to dream, float, explore, imagine. And NO I did not take any drugs :-)
This shot might be familiar to some who have been watching my photostream for a longer time ;-)

This church was used in filming for the Forrest Gump movie. Forrest prayed for shrimp there.
Constructed ca. 1833, Stoney Creek Independent Presbyterian Chapel is the only pre-Civil War structure remaining in the village of McPhersonville. This village was built on high ground away from the rice fields in the midst of a tall pine forest. Built by the planters of Prince William Parish who resided in the village during the summer months, the one-story frame building is in the Greek Revival style with later Victorian features.
Since it was created as a summer chapel, Stoney Creek is plain and austere, as one would expect for a Presbyterian congregation. It boasts an imposing façade with four Doric columns supporting a pedimented roof, sash windows with semi-elliptical transoms, and a round stained glass window. An octagonal steeple was added in 1890. The lantern of the steeple features arched 6-light windows on four sides. A small wooden finial rests atop the conical roof. The interior is very simple with plain plaster walls, original wooden pews, and wide pine floors. The site was used as a hospital and the grounds for a campsite by Federal troops. Regular worship at the chapel dwindled due to the economy and lack of growth in the community. As a result the congregation was dissolved in 1967.
Although this classic view into Monument Valley from the north has been well-known for decades, it became super-recognizable after being featured in a key scene in the movie Forrest Gump. little m and I were caravaning down from Blanding and Mule Canyon to spend a couple of days at Monument Valley when we topped a hill and saw this. I hadn't realized we'd be on THAT road and seeing THAT scene. Getting m to notice what we were seeing was a bit more challenging, and I nearly had to run the poor woman off the road to get her attention so we could stop and get a few shots (sorry, m!!). :)
"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the Sea."

I tried this a few times last year - capturing falling leaves - thought I'd give it another go as my attempts last year never made it past Light Room...
Now, I know this is about a feather, but the inspiration for this image was this beautiful piece of music. The theme tune to Forrest Gump, by Alan Silvestri.
I was amused to find this spot officially called Forest Gump Point on the map. It used to be referred to as just Mile Marker 13 viewpoint. Anyhow, here is a night shot from the viewpoint taken at 30mm. Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
This is where the old Dockside restaurant used to be off of 11th. There was a fire July of 2015. The Dockside is not in Port Royal anymore but on Lady's Island.
The movie Forrest Gump used this locale for Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company.
Fishing nets cost around 3,000. regulations have increased costs for Turtle escape devices and Bycatch release devices.
Mile marker 13 on U.S. Route 163 in Utah, looking south towards Monument Valley. Also known in the movie as the exact spot where Forrest Gump finally decides to stop running.

West Mitten Butte in , Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park , Arizona . Yes it took me from April to post this picture and that is few more form there. So many of us remember the Monument Valley from countless westerns , 2001 : Space Odyssey , Forrest Gump , Back to the Future III ⊠to Griswold's station wagon in National Lampoon's Vacation.
There is a good reason why so many movies used the valley as a backdrop â heck it's beautiful.
... 120 sec exposure , middle of the sunny day :-)
This spot is likely to be familiar to fans of the film Forrest Gump. After he had been running from coast to coast USA Tom Hanks eventually stops (here) and decides that he wants to go home.
For anyone who is interested, it's in southern Utah, on highway 163 between Monument Valley and Mexican Hat. If you don't care about that I hope you enjoy the view anyway :-)

Grandfather Mountain Trail in North Carolina. Forrest Gump used this road in his movie when he did his marathon part toward the ending.
We found this small lighthouse open to the public the day we visited. It was one of 7 participating in the Midcoast Maine Lighthouse challenge for two days in June. Movie fans may recognize this lighthouse from "Forrest Gump".
Heading south on US 163, late February. Waited for the car to be in the scene to add a bit of perspective on how huge the buttes and Mittens are.
A major scene from the 1994 movie Forest Gump was shot at this location. Forest (Tom Hanks) had been running back and forth across America and suddenly decides to stop running at this spot. The Valley of the Gods is a scenic sandstone valley along Highway 163 near Mexican Hat in San Juan County, Southeastern Utah. It features stunning buttes, pinnacles and other geologic formations. Print Size 13x19 inches.
My take on an old favorite. This is Mile Marker 13 on US 163 as you come into Monument Valley...near the spot where Forrest Gump ended his cross-country run.
It was pretty stark when I photographed it at mid-day and I thought a sepia toned black and white treatment suited the image well.

Lydia always loved Forrest Gump, so when we reached Monument Valley, Utah and the site of the famous movie scene, she had to recreate the moment. She also told me, "I bet this will make Maria smile!" đđ¶
Happy Sliders Sunday! (Enhanced a bit to correct for the harsh sunlight and bring out Lydia's features.)
ChatGPT: The iconic scene from the movie "Forrest Gump" filmed in Monument Valley features Forrest Gump, played by Tom Hanks, running on a long, straight road with the stunning, red-sand desert landscape of Monument Valley in the background. This location is on the border of Arizona and Utah, within the Navajo Nation Reservation. The specific spot is often referred to as Forrest Gump Point. It's become a popular tourist destination, especially for fans of the film. The scene symbolizes the vastness and beauty of the American landscape, and it's one of the most memorable moments in the movie, marking the point where Forrest decides to end his cross-country run. This visually striking backdrop is known for its unique rock formations, making it a quintessential American image and a favorite for photographers and filmmakers.
The TDM-4515 was the last of its kind but the first of a new design. This machine was a combination of a transit bus and a motor coach, used by multiple companies in northern New Jersey to ferry suburban commuters to New York City. Lakeland, based in Dover, NJ, still exists; the company in fact donated this bus to the museum and the CEO pays for its upkeep. This very bus was also a movie star, having appeared in Forrest Gump.

Another angle on this famous lighthouse in St. George, ME. This is the lighthouse that Tom Hanks ran up to in Forrest Gump during his cross country trek.
Original? No no no, never! The middle-of-the-road shot looking straight on down the hill toward the imposing rock formations of Monument Valley on the Arizona/Utah border is probably about as classic and clichéd as you can get. Forrest Gump thinks so too. But, there's something to be said for seeing a classic with your own eyes, and maybe this whole dramatic low-color heavy-vignette look on the snowy glum overcast morning is enough to count as my own spin on the stereotype. Also, I didn't get hit by a semi, so that's something!
Seeing a feather like this always reminds me of my favourite movie... Forrest Gump.
The feather symbolizes how you go through life. The feather can symbolize destiny because life is not accidental, you are destined to be there at the right time, right place and right moment. As the feather floats on the wind it also symbolizes tranquility and peacefulness. As Forrest Gump said; âI donât know if we each have a destiny or if weâre all just floatingâ around accidental-like on a breeze. But I, I think maybe itâs both. Maybe both are happening at the same time.â
