I have a glimmer of hope people will wisen-up and take coronavirus seriously, no challenge to our nation has ever demanded such a degree of common and united action. We have to beat this crisis and this will only work if we ALL do our part in social distancing. I do it all the time it isn't that difficult. Please stay home and be a hero! I want to give thanks and respect to our brave, front line medical workers -- I don't think I could do that job. I noticed last week the small towns have a greater sense of community with no hoarding of toilet paper in the stores which is really nice to see. Stay safe my Flickr friends. We will get through this together.
Sometimes hope gets lost in the fog but remember fog always lifts and beyond the fog lies clarity...

Stuart was telling me how hope and courage, inspired by others, helps him to fight against his multiple sclerosis. He spoke positively about the troubles that ail him because fighting those made him stronger and more hopeful. Inspirational words. Enjoy!
This 53 year old veteran is still running strong and earns her keep in the Hope Valley at the Cement works in Hope. Her main duties are to drag cement wagons up and down from the works along the 1.5 mile branch. The cement works and adjacent quarry kicks out approx 1.5 million tons per year so this 20 is a busy girl.
The 20 has been allocated the number 2 and the name Sir George Earle but in her former life she was 20168 built in October 1966 at Vulcan Works. She has had a silencer fitted to her exhaust system but she still sounds unmistakably like a 20.
Here she is seen starting her run up to the works from Earles Sidings with some loaded coal wagons which had arrived on the once weekly service from Cwmbargoed.
To see 20168 in action follow the link above.
This shot is from several years ago as I have next to no snow at all so far this winter and I am missing it!
Mists of damp heat rise up out of the fields around the sleeping abbey. The whole valley is flooded with moonlight and I can count the southern hills beyond the watertank, and almost number the trees of the forest to the north. Now the huge chorus of living beings rises up out of the world beneath my feet: life singing in the watercourses, throbbing in the creeks and the fields and the trees, choirs of millions and millions of jumping and flying and creeping things. And far above me the cool sky opens upon the frozen distance of the stars.

I hope people focus on the beauty in life.

Hope is different from wishful thinking and from illusion too. For hope, one has to fight. Every inch of it has to be pulled out of the jaws of oblivion. Fuji X-E2.

Congratulations, you're alive.
If that's not something to smile about,
then I don't know what is.”

Life is terribly fragile. I hope that this period, probably more than any other (with the exception of both World Wars) will teach us to be kinder to each other; to appreciate those things in life that truly matter; and to be grateful for what we got.
Everyone take a look at this photo I took of a area called Hope Valley in the Sierra mountains in California. I'm thinking of having a 16X20 Metal Photo made from this print. I picked it because of the multi colors and how it really stands out. Do any of my contacts or photographer's on Flickr have any comments on this subject. Please leave comments.
Day 3 of the epic temp inversions, and day 3 stuck inside on domestic duties, BUT I did at least manage to nip out and grab a few quick handheld family in tow images on day 3 just before the mists evaporated.
Shot from the iconic Great Ridge on the descent, which gives the appearance of a drone shot.

This image holds my interest more than the last shot (which was also wonderful to see).
One of my last shots from yesterday morning, the fog started to disperse in Hope Valley and snake up Winnats Pass.
Much care needs to be taken when the grass is wet.
I mean hope as in stillness,
those moments when you just know things are going to work out.

Waiting and hoping is a hard thing to do when you've already been waiting and hoping for almost as long as you can bear it.
