Day started out Sunny and not too hot, so the camera and I went out to work. By the time the clouds had rolled in and the wind picked up I had shot 750 images. When I got home I started the process of winnowing out the duds. As soon as I found this shot, I HAD to get it uploaded right away. Sometimes a photograph just grabs you, and this one did me.
Hope you like it too.

"remember how it used to be
when the sun would fill up the sky
remember how we used to feel
those days would never end
those days would never end
remember how it used to be
when the stars would fill the sky
remember how we used to dream
those nights would never end
those nights would never end
it was the sweetness of your skin
it was the hope of all we might have been
that fills me with the hope to wish
impossible things
but now the sun shines cold
and all the sky is grey
the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
and all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away"

Mission Impossible.
A herd of Rooibok come to drink water. Then, in a split second, a calm and peaceful scene turned into absolute chaos. They climb up an almost impossibly steep river bank.
My goal was to capture the chaos during the event.

My second shot involved a dash from the garden back inside without exposing the film to (too much) light.
The leaves have now fallen, the maples are bare, it is impossible to restore the leaves to the trees.
Getting myself in an impossible situation in a Seaworld centre. I knew that there may be sharks but I'm more afraid of pirhanna. I shouldn't have got in the tank with them! A composite of four of my photos.
A photo shoot at the Illinois Railway Museum in 2010 featured the Chicago and North Western and their restored F7 411, GP7R 4160 and SD40-2 6847.
Union Pacific provided their CNW Heritage SD70ACe 1995 and CNW C44-9W 8701.
In the years since, Union Pacific has repainted the 8701 into their corporate colors and the IRM has repainted GP7R 4160 back into its Rock Island paint.

Car fire in Peachland this afternoon turned into a forest fire turned into a closed highway and a trail of water bombers and helicopters passing over our house every 30 minutes. Since the highway was closed I decided it would be a great time to visit the mountain goats and see how they were holding up in our heat wave. Turns out it didn't bother them because they were all nude.
. . . This is the highest point I was able to get to in Zion National Park. It was on the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway just above the 1.1 mile tunnel (through solid rock), looking west towards the Zion Valley.
The scale of the mountains is so large, that you feel like an ant crawling through!
Have a great Friday and weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Unfortunately it wasn't a Polaroid Week as I had imagined, I was only able to upload three pictures...
On the one hand that makes me sad because I wasn't able to participate as much as I would have liked. On the other hand, I am so happy to see what wonderful artwork the community has put together again this week. So far I've only had time to look through the favourites folders for each day. But I will definitely take the time in the next few weeks to spend much more time in the pool - it won't be the same as during the week, but it's still an opportunity for me to take part afterwards.
I'm already really looking forward to the autumn week.
Many thanks to everyone who makes Polaroid Week the wonderful event that it is!!!
P.S. I wasn't really expecting that much when I put the impossible colour bruch film in my camera recently. But i was so excited when i saw the result, a true monet of instant happiness. those moments are what make polaroid magic for me...

"We are impossible but here here we are, being impossible together and leaving the possible for another day. And let me tell you, mademoiselle, that you with your sense of humor and your wonderful presence have captivated me from the first smile you gave me. I do not worry about future because I have learned that what has to be, will be, and there is nothing to do, but that doesn't stop me confessing that my heart has it there with you in the clouds."

"Somos imposibles pero aquí estamos, siendo imposibles juntos y dejando lo posible para otro día. Y déjame decirte, señorita, que tú con tu sentido del humor y tu maravillosa presencia me has cautivado desde la primera sonrisa que me regalaste. No me preocupa el futuro pues he aprendido que lo que tenga que ser, será, y no hay nada que hacerle, pero eso no me impide confesarte que mi corazón lo tienes allí contigo en las nubes."

Mission: Impossible 7 locomotive crash scene in Derbyshire. The replica steam train is driven off the cliff for the final crash scene in Tom Crusie's latest blockbuster film. The locomotive flies through the air in spectacular style before crashing into the quarry below. The train was built specifically for the film & resembles a BR Britannia and has been named Le General Rive-Reine which relates to the 1964 war film 'The Train'.
A very difficult shot, with security and cliffs. So, this shot almost didn't happen. Months of planning and an 8-hour wait, I got the shot with a clear view.
