Political FAILs

Because birds fly seemingly effortlessly, something that we cannot do at all, we tend to think of them as nimble and flawless. Yet, just like us, they can fail and make mistakes, sometimes quite painful.
Here is a failed landing of a tree swallow, observed at the Heinz NWR.
I followed a Julieanne Kost tutorial the other day and somehow I must have missed a step because it wasn't supposed to be quite like this. One day I will start again but in the meantime I thought I'd keep this anyway, I quite liked it.
These are 10 images of mine, severely cropped after applying 2 blur filters.
Around this time of year the sun will rise between the bridge arches. However, despite trying for many years I have yet to get the shot I really want, with the sun just cresting the hill behind in the centre of the arch. I thought I’d cracked it this time, the conditions looked ideal prior to sunrise and then right at the critical moment a blob of cloud settled on the horizon 😖. Still there’s always next year and I still managed to get some reasonable shots😎.
I’d been using my EOS R plus Tilt Shift lens for most of the shoot and at the last minute I grabbed this shot by just resting my Olympus camera on the bridge decking in order to get the very low angle.

After having our first warm day of this spring, which short lived, a cold front came in with rain and freezing rain. I hope this yellow daffodils will survive.

I could not think of a title for this photograph, so that's the title of this shot of me with my fiancée at the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, at sunset.
Once in your life, if you are lucky, you will see a sunrise or sunset that you know will never be surpassed, and you will be aware of this even as you are watching. Neither words nor photographs can express how profound and moving this sunset really was.
For more information on this incredible place please see my prior photo, 'Salar de Illusion'.

Strange & creepy community with a giant inactive church.
Friends, while exploring the beauty of Islands in the middle of Indian sea--thousand miles away from home--even the rising waves and sparkling water fail to smudge the images of the Himalayas from my mind....hope to return from the trip by the middle of the month...here is Dhankar monastery from the backside as the day progressed....taken in Spiti valley, Himachal Pradesh, India
Slender Ringtail Damselfly (Austrolestes analis)
In the garden today. I was actually trying (chasing) to get a shot of the first Blue Ringtail I have seen this season, I failed but this one posed nicely for me.
I am way behind today, I have finally succumbed to the cold that has been going through the family. Thankfully it seems I have a minor dose of it.
I will catch up as I can.
I usually setup 2 lights with shoot through umbrellas for our tight little interior shooting area. The lights are triggered with radios, specifically Pocket Wizards. But, let's say you occasionally run into a problem with one, or more, and they don't work, usually a fluke though. Pocket Wizard's are top of the line radio triggers, but even they can fail from time to time. In the above photo the main light on the left didn't fire. Usually, the image would be a "throw away." But, in this case, I kinda' liked the the result and decided to do the edit. It is proof that even one off camera light could yield some interesting results.
The business on the ends are definitely closed and the cooperative in the middle seems to be. Probably victims of COVID. This is not a terrible neighborhood.
Another from last October’s Cornwall trip. Hoping for a break in the weather I headed towards Godrevy on the north Cornish coast. Well, let's just say the weather gods weren't having any of it and after parking up some distance away, by the time I got to this vantage point I was well and truly soaked...
It's not the image I wanted as I was unable to access lower levels so a return trip is a must, but I was grateful to bag one image following several failed attempts. BTW, I can highly recommend Kase Wolverine filters for use in such poor shooting conditions, they clean up a treat...👍
Thanks for viewing :-)

Une légende polynésienne raconte l’histoire de Paiheotuu, un petit héron audacieux qui a triomphé d’un héron géant.
Dans cette légende, Otuu nunamu, un grand héron, avait enlevé la femme du roi Tuoropaa. Le roi envoya des messagers pour rassembler les hérons et combattre le géant, mais tous avaient peur. Seul Paiheotuu, le petit héron, accepta le défi.
Malgré plusieurs expulsions violentes, Paiheotuu persévéra. Il se battit courageusement, pénétrant à plusieurs reprises dans l’estomac du géant, jusqu’à finalement le dévorer complètement.
Après avoir libéré la femme du roi, tous les hérons le proclamèrent roi, le reconnaissant comme un grand guerrier qui avait accompli ce que tous les autres n’avaient pas osé entreprendre.
Cette légende rappelle le combat de David contre Goliath, symbolisant le triomphe du courage et de la détermination sur la force brute !
Excellent dimanche à vous tous les artistes 😉

A Polynesian legend tells the story of Paiheotuu, a brave little heron who triumphed over a giant heron.
In the legend, Otuu nunamu, a big heron, had kidnapped the wife of King Tuoropaa. The king sent messengers to gather the herons to fight the giant, but they were all afraid. Only Paiheotuu, the little heron, accepted the challenge.
Despite several violent expulsions, Paiheotuu persevered. He fought bravely, repeatedly piercing the giant's stomach until he finally swallowed him whole.
After freeing the king's wife, all the herons proclaimed him king, recognising him as a great warrior who had done what all the others had failed to do.
This legend recalls David's battle with Goliath and symbolises the triumph of courage and determination over brute force !
Happy Sunday to all artists 😉

One of the latest electrification projects in Poland, before the communism finally collapsed, was that of the line between Piła and Krzyż, in fact a fragment of famous Ostbahn line. I suppose further plans would enhance the electrification to Gorzów and finally Kostrzyn at the German border, but let's focus on this very part, that would logically close another electrificated parallel connection East - West.
The concept not only materialized on drawing boards, but first works started, and soon ended as the situation in Poland changed rapidly after 1989 and all that remained were these poles installed for catenary, just outside of Piła in direction of Krzyż. Anyway, they were there for several years, as I don't know whether they're sill there.
It's not the end of the story, as the idea comes every couple of years. Actually there're some design works and it's said that thanks to EU funds the electrification, at least from Piła to Krzyż, would take place in the second half of 2020s.
And the picture: SU45-221 with evening regional passenger train no. 3322 from Kostrzyn to Piła Główna, before reaching the terminus. It passes precisely Powodowo Prefabet junction (the switch is just after the last wagon). May 1, 2003.

Jeden z ostatnich jeszcze komunistycznych projektów elektryfikacyjnych dotyczył odcinka Ostbahny między Piłą i Krzyżem, co sensownie uzupełniałoby zelektryfikowany ciąg Kutno - Toruń - Bydgoszcz - Piła - Krzyż i otwierałoby dalsze możliwości nad kontynuacją do Gorzowa i w końcu Kostrzyna.
Projekt wyszedł nawet z fazy projektowej, bowiem znakiem pierwszych prac elektryfikacyjnych są te słupy, widoczne na fotce. Na zdjęciu co prawda widzimy tylko dwa - ostatnie, ale jest ich dużo więcej w kierunku Piły. Jest, albo było, bowiem zdjęcie z 1 maja 2003 roku, a po tym czasie tematu nie zglębiałem, więc może w końcu słupy zdemontowano.
Temat elektryfikacji tego odcinka jest wciąż żywy, aktualnie trwają kolejne fazy projektowe i mówi się, że drut zawiśnie na tym odcinku Ostbahnu jeszcze w drugiej połowie lat 2020.
Na fotce SU45-221 z pociągiem osobowym 3322 z Kostrzyna do Piły Głównej, tuż przed końcem podróży. Pociąg właśnie minął posterunek bocznicowy szlakowy Powodowo Prefabet (rozjazd ledwie widoczny za ostatnim wagonem).
