I'm no believer in any silly religious crap, so don't take this the wrong way. But this morning when I arose, I was pleased as can be to see that we had had a bit of rain last night. As you know, California has been in drought much too much. Not only that, but the valley in which I live has suffered from wildfires even though they have occurred hundreds of miles from us. The smoke has been miserable, and for that reason I've not gone on a morning walk for awhile, as I feared the inhalation of particulate matter might be doing more damage than the forsaking of exercise. Thus it was a beautiful opportunity to be out and about. So, that's my Thanksgiving story. Merry Thanksgiving to all of you who do that thing.
While staying in Sydney, my friends suggested trying to catch a sunrise at Bondi Beach. This was an awesome chance to shoot and I particularly wanted to try and capture movement of water. After waking up late, sprinting and missing the train, and finding a cab at 5:30am we made and I was able to take this picture.
Additionally, this is my first time post producing a picture using light room. Any comments, tips or criticism are welcome. My goal was to try and keep the photo natural but enhance the image and try to balance it overall. Thanks!
So here we are... achievement unlocked: 7000 followers. Thank you all, truly, I'm overwhelmed with the love <3.
Some of us have personal goals that we set for ourselves, long ago, I had descided that this was it, and now that I'm here... I'm not really sure what to do with myself.
A few things are coming to mind: Continue blogging for a few of my long-term sponsors and events, possibly get back into creating some new BOM stuff, or straight out retire.
Maybe it's a ten year itch, a Mid-(second)Life-Crisis... who knows, it will likely pass... just know that I have no more expectations of myself or anyone else, it's super empowering.
L'estate scorsa sulla spiaggia di Velia (Salerno). Questo è l'unico tipo di gioco del calcio che trovo interessante.
Finding a solution for having a better society must be the preoccupation of governments of all countries. Eradicating the poverty is a necessity. Countries in the middle east can work on similar projects, instead of giving the chance to the growth of enmity.

A shady spot with long cool grass at the end of a hot summer walk = lab goals.

Commit your way to the LORD,trust also in Him,&He shall bring it to pass.PSALM 37:5*
Anytime people set goals for their lives that require great striving,intense frustation,repeated failures,&manipulation of others-that is an unrealistic goal.
It is not within the realm of their God-given talents&abilities. It is beyond GODs plan&purpose for their life.Now,Im not saying that the achievement of goals doesnt require effort,education,training,or the development of skills.
Those factors are always necessary in the attainment of any goal that is worthy.God doesnt give us talents&abilities that are fully developed.He requires that we sharpen them&mature in their use.
ITs another thing entirely to commit yourself to becoming an opera singer when you cant carry a tune in a bucket.

My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness
A building that doesn’t just rise upward, but does so in full color.
Hoost, the striking architectural project in Heist, stacks shapes, lines, and hues as if it literally climbs toward a goal.
The diagonals, the bold color blocks, and the layered structure create a dynamism that fits perfectly with the theme Goal: striving, growing, reaching higher.
In this image, architecture becomes more than a construction — it becomes a visual ambition.

The feast of the Virgin of Health is a religious festival in the city of Venice, which takes place November 21 of each year. It is a pilgrimage of thanksgiving towards the Virgin that has as its goal the basilica of Santa Maria della Salute.
Throughout the day, in the church, kept open without interruption, are celebrated continuously masses and rosaries, with a continuous influx of the faithful.
The recurrence originates from the large outbreak of bubonic plague that struck the whole of northern Italy between 1630 and 1631.
