The Humble Candle on the Public Square in Dahlonega, GA taken in the Spring of 2007 in North Georgia.
If you look closely at this picture you might notice several vehicles in the middle foreground. This offers a scale comparison to the size and dominance of the mountain range in the background. The shot was taken in the Southern shore of Iceland in very overcast conditions. Not a black and white image by the way.
I learn how to be humble at all times in my first job. However, humble attitude does not apply to modern society especially in China.
第一份工就讓我學會時時刻刻都要保持謙遜，不能因為身分、所服務的客戶而有所驕縱，東方的謙虛仍然要搭配西方的良善溝通，打不還手罵不還口"阿信式"的方法已經不適用於現代社會了！
但謙卑也許是老闆們要奴役員工的手法之一，腰要軟但是態度是不卑不亢的。

A small and humble place but one very fascinating and enjoyable to spend time at. It is a valuable place for migrants who can stop off and refuel. The hills in the background belong to North Wales.

Chesire's only coastal reserve, consisting of sand dunes, reedbeds and marsh
This reserve lies on the edge of the extensive Dee Estuary and unusually is a separate SSSI to the Dee. The reserve consist of an important range of sand dune from embryo dunes against the sea to much more established yellow dunes behind and then to grey dunes that extend on to The Royal Liverpool Golf Course. As with all dune systems specialised plants that can survive in dry sandy conditions grow in the dips (slacks) and on the hilly bits. Such plants as sea holly and Mackays horsetail. In the slacks behind the embryo dunes small brackish pools can be found in which a small population of Natterjack toads cling on. The once extensive sand dune habitat has been reduced around this coastal area so much that this species has become isolated and will probably die out shortly. In the slack behind the yellow dune fresher water collects and enables common reed to flourish. This reedbed is important for migratory birds as well as species such as reed warbler that nest and feed in the reed. Here can be found large populations of common toad that thrive in the shallow water. Their tadpoles will eat any Natterjack tadpoles found in this area.

I am pleased with the end result of this image, especially as I spent lots of time thinking through composition. Personally this is one of my favourite photographs I have taken, as I like the outcome and when taking the image, I improved the composition more and more. It was a helpful lesson to learn to just focus on the composition and where I want the viewer to look before even thinking about camera settings.
In my humble opinion, there is no better way to unwind after a busy day than photographing a lake in a wilderness setting in the evening. I had driven to the backside of Argyle Lake State Park in Colchester, Illinois just before sunset and then hiked down to a primite campsite--and from there down to the shoreline. There was no one else around, except for one boat that passed by sometime later on the other side. Fish were jumping and shadows began to grow across the lake as the setting suns rays hit the shoreline where I was standing. A perfect evening!
From this vantage point, it looks like the lake ends here. In reality, it wraps around to the right and continues quite a ways. I had hoped to see more color in the leaves along the shoreline at this time of the year. However, most of the trees are various species of oaks, whose leaves tend to turn brown instead of red, orange or yellow.

I got to log on to SL briefly today, and did a quick free snapshot.
For people who paint, they should be very familiar with popular blues like cobalt blue and ultramarine. However, I am particularly fond of Prussian Blue.
I have this little tray of Prussian Blue on my palette. Months ago, out of curiosity, I used it as the background of my poppy painting. My eyes were widened as the colour spread over the paper - Such a beautiful, humble deep blue. It contrasts red so well. Since then, I have fallen in love with this blue.
Trent Head Well, The overgrown source of the River Trent, the UK's third longest river.
It begins its journey here before flowing 223 miles to the North Sea (via the Humber).

This whirlwind of depression swirls around me, as people I considered friends apparently fall away when I need them most... It's an odd world, and one that makes me all the more thankful for the genuine friendships I now know I have. It's never about having time, it's about making time - I believe if it is important, you MAKE time. I am humbled by all that this Flickr journey has brought me, and more so by the friends and people here who continually make time to look at my little attempts at photography. I thank and am grateful to you, and hope you know that your views and patience with my journey mean so much... Thank you all so much...
“Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.”

A small castle/Fantasy Figbarf.
These are representations of the new characters my friends and I are playing in our new weekly D&D game.
I may well do a white background shot of these figures if there is interest in seeing them all up close :)
There is no shortage of small streams bubbling up from the boggy uplands in these parts, each of them eventually combining to form the River Ribble which flows south initially, before ending up in the Irish Sea at Lytham some 75 miles later.
This shot has been framed to include the Batty Moss Viaduct and, in this case, another earthly offering - the log train. Colas Tug 60087 "Clic Sargent" is doing the honours with the 12.58 Carlisle - Chirk Kronospan timber (6J37) - and who knows, it just might be destined for a floor, worktop, or piece of furniture near you.
The last upload from the S&C .... well, until the next one.

My first, half-hearted try at making macarons.
I did not bother to grind nor sift the ingredients.
Nor wait for the skin to form.
Tasted excellent nonetheless.

This is part of the Lockerbie Air Disaster Memorial and it commemorates 270 people who lost their lives on the 21st December 1988. (259 on the flight and 11 people on the ground).
PAN AM flight 103 flying at 31, 000ft south of Lockerbie when at 7.02pm a timer detonated an explosive device inside the plane. Wreckage and debris was found in a 75 mile radius with high altitude and a prevailing wind.
Most of these people were flying home for Christmas.
It was truly humbling to visit this memorial.
