Somewhere in Western Australia: I really enjoyed the colours and I couldn`t stop taking pictures and pictures and pictures.....;-))) !
I really liked the sense of freedom and peace of mind making this stop going to Hofn.

The largest fireworks display in the Midwest blasted off in Columbus during the blue hour. That cast a nice soft light over a lone island on the river which turned into a party of kayakers.
There have been a number of discussions here recently (see my latest post for lack of something more exciting to do on a Friday night) regarding a creative freedom to post that which we like, including experimenting with different genres, rather than that which we think others might like. I believe that there is a certain linkage between that and self-acceptance, which frees us to live in our own light rather than in that of others.
It seems that when people start to accept themselves for who they are, they begin to have a freedom to make their own choices and stop pleasing others. It is kind of us to think about the needs of other people, but there comes a time when one needs to put themselves first. Not a natural thing to some, but liberating nevertheless.
“Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness” (Anon)
It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day - it's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am....

The first run of the American Freedom Train simmers at Union Station in Portland, Oregon.
Felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders...
Pressure to break or retreat at every turn;
Facing the fear that the truth I discovered;
No telling how all this will work out;
But I've come too far to go back now.
I am looking for freedom,
Looking for freedom...
And to find it cost me everything I have.
Well I am looking for freedom,
Looking for freedom...
And to find it may take everything I have!
I know all too well it don't come easy;
The chains of the world they seem to move in tight;
I try to walk around it,
But stumbling's so familiar;
Try to get up but the doubt is so strong;
There's gotta be a wind in my bones...
I'm looking for freedom,
Looking for freedom;
And to find it, cost me everything I have.
Well I'm looking for freedom,
I'm looking for freedom...
And to find it may take everything I have!
Oh
Not giving up has always been hard,
So hard...
But if I do the things the easy way I won't get far.
Hmm, life hasn't been very kind to me lately,
Well,
But I suppose it's a push for moving on,
Oh yeah;
In time the sun's gonna shine on me nicely,
One day yeah,
Something tells me good things are coming and I ain't gonna not believe.
I'm looking for freedom,
Looking for freedom;
And to find it, cost me everything I have.
Well I'm looking for freedom,
I'm looking for freedom...
And to find it may take everything I have!
There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”

I have looked at this image many times.. because it happens to be an archived one.. It never fails.. I get very emotional when I do..
This image was captured just a few years after 9/11 on Ellis Island.. Just to the left of this flag pole off in the distance.. there used to be two of the tallest buildings in NYC called the Twin Towers..
All I have to say about that.. is that our enemies thought by taking down those towers and all those precious souls inside.. they could break us.. but they could not! for we are Americans!.. we are free.. they tried to destroy freedom and it can not be done.. we as Americans will not stand for it.. We must remain free and we shall..
Freedom comes with a price.. it is not free..
Let Freedom Ring....

Florida Everglades - #135 in Explore 10/6/20
SUNSET - Ibis flock - In The Wild
Palm Beach County, Florida USA
Summer 2020 - Sept. 19th, 2020

Over the last ten years I have been observing the amazing Ibis flocks that abundantly congregate over the Florida Everglades. Tens-of-thousands of them migrating across 'the expanse' during their mating seasons, and also throughout all of the other Florida seasons, as well. Their incredible numbers seemed to have stayed the same over the years and they are still as visually appealing to me as they were ten years ago. They are always a joy to see floating across the sunset horizon, and I always look for them with the hope of capturing that one 'lifetime image' of them in a somewhat perfect formation. I am still trying...and I still enjoy it. Thanks for looking.

Das Bild entstand während des Sommerurlaubes auf Mallorca. Ein Stück von Freiheit, Spass und Lebensfreude nach der Pandemiezeit.
***********************************************************************************
The picture was taken during the summer vacation on Mallorca. A piece of freedom, fun and joie de vivre after the pandemic period.
I just had to capture these two young guys as they enjoyed the moment at the summit of Glyder Fawr, especially as I could squeeze in Snowdon in the background. Days like these are rare indeed; beautiful conditions and stunning views that go on for miles and miles. Most important of all is that sense of freedom that seems to come with places like this.
I did have a quick chat with these two young chaps, and their enthusiasm for the hills was properly heartwarming.
The hills have been a big part of my life, and I hope these two get as much from them as I have.
As seen on BBC Cymru Wales, and in the Western Mail. Fame at last!

Here's an overall photo of the Reading T-1 2101 cosmetically restored to her American Freedom Train livery (well, one of the liveries, they played around with some looks). The loco was painted like this in 1975 and ran across several states in '75 and '76. This loco, Number 1, was assigned to chores in the Northeast while other locos handled the rest of the 48 contiguous states.
The cosmetically restored loco looks wonderful after decades in the B&O Railroad Museum's parking lot in Baltimore. The paint was fading, and parts were rusting away; it looked pretty sad just a few years ago.
I noticed right away that the wrong-sized eagle sits atop the headlight. But it turns out a friend of mine has already made a correct replacement for the loco.
