I have been wanting to use that title for a long time. On our way from the Shuswap to Vancouver we made a stop in the town of Hope. Movie goers may know that the Stallone movie, "Rambo - First Blood" was filmed (yes filmed) there in 1982. When I told my wife she was most unimpressed.
We stopped at a rest area where only one other vehicle was parked. We used the washroom after our multi hour drive and then peared at the outdoor map of the area. It was on the wall of a roofed open walled hut the size of a garage. From there I could see the mountains beyond. I raced for my camera and took a few shots only to discover each was underexposed. So, I started working on my exposure and composition while leaning on a pillar for support. 20 minutes later I was still enjoying the cloud that was draping itself over the mountain creating a different image every other second.
A photographer could hunt for such an opportunity and not find anything. So when my wife said we should go, although I knew she was right, it was with both hesitation and elation that we drove off.

A trip out with Rob started as a bit of a 'coin toss' as the forecast was for blue skies almost everywhere. Our best chance of clouds was in the far north so we headed to Sutherland and eventually took the unclassified road to Ben Hope. There was plenty of cottongrass (Bog Cotton) along much of our route so I tried to make something of this pleasing clump near to Broch Dun Dornaigil with the imposing Ben Hope behind.
Thank you all my dears Flickr friends for your sweet comments! I do appreciate them very, very much

"Gloomy Sunday" (from Hungarian "Szomorú vasárnap", IPA: ['somoruː 'vɒʃarnɒp]) is a song written by László Jávor and set to music in 1933 by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress, in which the singer mourns the untimely death of a lover and contemplates suicide. Gloomy Sunday had been announced as to be the most famous song for people to commit suicide.
Though recorded and performed by many singers, "Gloomy Sunday" is closely associated with Billie Holiday, who scored a hit version of the song in 1941. Due to unsubstantiated urban legends about its inspiring hundreds of suicides, "Gloomy Sunday" was dubbed the "Hungarian suicide song" in the U.S.. Seress did commit suicide in 1968, but most other rumors of the song being banned from radio, or sparking suicides, are unsubstantiated, and were partly propagated as a deliberate marketing campaign.
Sunday is Gloomy,
My hours are slumberless,
Dearest, the shadows I live
with are numberless
Little white flowers will never awaken you
Not where the black coach of
sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought of
ever returning you
Would they be angry if I
thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is gloomy
with shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be flowers and
prayers that are sad,
I know, let them not weep,
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream,
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming
I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you
Asleep in the deep of
My heart
Dear
Darling I hope that my
dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you how
much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
Las casas están construídas con gran armonía entre la montaña y como es natural son calles estrechas y enpinadas. El término se extiende por el altiplano de Collsacabra, las sierras de Tavertet y los riscos de Aiats y Falgars. Si bien en la economía tradicional es la agricultura de secano (cereales, legumbres, forrajes, patatas y maíz) y la ganadería eran las principales actividades, en la actualidad, el turismo constituye la mayor fuente de ingresos. El desarrollo del fenómeno turístico ha conllevado la aparición de numerosos establecimientos comerciales y restaurantes que ofrecen al turista de verano o de fin de semana todos los servicios necesarios, como el Hostal Estrella que se encuentra en el centro de Rupit.
Una carretera local comunica el término con la C-153. En el núcleo urbano pueden admirarse edificios de los siglos XVI y XVII, de piedra, con ventanales de tipo gótico o gótico tardío y portales dovelados con antiguas inscripciones, la calle del Fossar es la más típica. El castillo de Rupit se alza sobre un espolón rocoso. La iglesia de Sant Miquel de Rupit, es de estilo barroconeoclásico. Palacio de la notaría de los Soler, con jardín colgante. Capilla de Santa Magdalena, del siglo XVII. La iglesia románica de Sant Joan de Fábregues, a 4 kilómetros de la población. Las masías son de notable interés (la Sala, el Colell, Mas Corriol). Pruit, cuenta con la iglesia románica de Sant Andreu (de los siglos XII - XIII). Iglesia románica de Sant Lloreno; Dosmunts, cerca del gran Mas de les Viles. Masías del Bac de Collsacabra, la Cassassa de Pruit y Comajoan

Hope everyone enjoyed a good Easter full of Joy. It was unorthodox but a beautiful evening to enjoy a socially distant walk with the parents!

WHEN I LOOSE HOPE BECAUSE MY PLANS HAVE COME TO NOTHING.
HELP ME TO REMEMBER YOUR LOVE IS GREATER
IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN MY DISAPPOINTMENTS AND THAT YOUR PLANS FOR MY LIFE ARE ALWAYS BETTER THAN MY DREAMS

Still carrying the wright of my past, I look towards my future, hoping there is time for one final transformation.
In lieu of the Japanese devastation and loss of lives... .. I will be taking a break to re-group. This has been a life changing event for me and frankly the whole world... Blessings to all my Flickr Friends.
During a fire smoke fills the room. It takes away your ability to breathe, it wants to kill you...
The chink of light gives hope. There is fresh air outside and the firefighters to rescue you.
the clouds were amazing over our three days at Hope Bay, Ontario. I'm not sure I've ever taken so many photos of them. This is one of my favourites. Taken last night as we sat on the bay eating our supper.

Always find it amazing that this museum is free to enter :)
Merry Christmas to all!
Lockdown in England has forced me to explore my local woodland where I take my dog, Monty, for his daily walk. Last friday there was a promise of thick fog, but alas, thick fog did not materialise, it rarely does here, sadly. Instead a hint of light mist was all we had but that allowed the glorious warm rays of the morning sun to penetrate the landscape.
I've always quite liked this area of the woodland, but I could never quite make this tree work in previous conditions. Friday morning was different, a thin veil of mist created just enough atmosphere and I guess timing is everything.
I take a great interest in politics, but I try not to mix politics with my photography, with art, but it felt like this morning was promising something better ahead. Let's hope so.

Covid 19 has made 2020 a year we would rather forget. The prospect of the vaccine from Oxford labs brings real hope for 2021; and a return to normality. Lets hope so…
Wishing all my Flickr friends a Happy and a healthy New year ahead. Thanks for your kind comments and favs over the past year…very much appreciated.
Stay safe and well everyone…

Knowing the light was going to fail me before the two lone westbounds would reach me here at Staples, I managed a consolation in the form of a west-facing DPU on a 1 x 1 in the still-perfect light. For the detail-oriented, one will note---looking down at the depot---that this was mostly an S train with a random cut of manifest on the end, something I have not seen much on the BNSF.

Another sunset from Hope Cove showing the abundance of beautiful late spring flowers along this coastline. As with my previous sunset from here, I had to use the cameras skill rather than my own.
Thank you for viewing and any comments.
