I received a light prism cube from Mrs. Krach for Christmas. It is only 2cm cube, but shining the light through it creates all kinds of patterns and colors. Had some fun with it on this second day of the year 2022 that is gray and gloomy here in Maryland. How better to brighten things up then lighting up my nuts ...
The Laker Nicolet is in downtown Chicago on the Chicago River near the Michigan Ave. bridge. September 1982.
Another shot from my forest wander last week. I know these woods well, I know from past visits that some of these gully's had water but I did expect to find such an amount of fast flowing water. Making compositions was not easy not so bad for this one but another stream proved to be more difficult, This scene is a little chaotic but it is how nature intended to be be, I don`t mind doing a little gardening in a scene but I will not alter a scene so as to change it altogether.
With this image I had one tripod leg in the stream and one foot on the edge to compose a diagonal flow through the image and to keep the wonderful fallen leaves in as well, my biggest problem was the bright area at the top I did use my polariser and have used the highlights slider to reduce the brightness rather than crop.
Flood water and huge puddles are now going down slowly which reminds me of a song from a fave artist of mine who is no longer with us, If you like the blues give this a go
After running some errands I wasn't planning on doing anything else for the day, but a hot tip about a daylight EDPL made me muster up enough motivation to go out. Here we see EDPL blasting south by CPR-33 in Deerfield, MA with a pair of GP40's powering the 35 car train. CPR-33 is one of the last interlockings on the Conn River that still uses B&M searchlight signals (the other being the southern home signal at CPF 385). As I type this post, EDPL is currently tied down on the Controlled Siding at CPR-1 in Springfield, where it will be capped with a Cab Signal equipped leader for the rest of their journey overnight to Plainville.
Small back street in village Zaostrog, where we live during our vacation in Croatia. Now we go down to the sea :)
Uliczka w miejscowości Zaostrog, na której mieszkaliśmy podczas pobytu w Chorwacji. Teraz ruszamy nią w dół, w stronę morza :)

The well was dry beside the door,
And so we went with pail and can
Across the fields behind the house
To seek the brook if still it ran;
Not loth to have excuse to go,
Because the autumn eve was fair
(Though chill), because the fields were ours,
And by the brook our woods were there.
We ran as if to meet the moon
That slowly dawned behind the trees
, The barren boughs without the leaves,
Without the birds, without the breeze.
But once within the wood, we paused
Like gnomes that hid us from the moon,
Ready to run to hiding new
With laughter when she found us soon.
Each laid on other a staying hand
To listen ere we dared to look,
And in the hush we joined to make
We heard, we knew we heard the brook.
A note as from a single place,
A slender tinkling fall that made
Now drops that floated on the pool
Like pearls, and now a silver blade.
Robert Frost
End-of-season Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly taking nectar from a Lantana floret in my garden.
Severe wing damage. Common for late summer.
This Atlantic Puffin it going over to another rock and I am going to try and catch a cod to morrow so will not be able to see your images until Tuesday
Another great walk in the Dales yesterday.
A 13 mile circular from Bainbridge, going across to Semer Water Stalling Busk and including an ascent of Addleborough
Certainly one of my favourite areas of the Dales and so beautiful; yet relatively unknown.
Don't tell anyone.

Historic Village of Shirakawa-gō ( a UNESCO World Heritage Site)
Shirakawa-go (Shirakawa Village) is a Japanese mountain settlement in what was once considered a wild and unexplored region. Because of the area’s natural environment, with high mountains and heavy snowfall, interaction with neighboring regions was limited. However, this also created the conditions for the development of unique cultural practices and lifestyles. Now registered as a World Cultural Heritage site.
