There are only few places where I became utterly silent inside, as thought in a gap between thoughts, where one becomes completely perception and thought-free. Banks of Saif-ul-Maluk is one place. With the vast valley closing behind the Lake, creating a pass called Kach Gali, from where I just returned.
Of course I must feel isolated, alienated , alone and lonely, for I am cut off from all the elements around me and still I feel myself in the valley, feeling lost in the beauty of nature, feeling how small I am in this universe.
Quite simply, this is the area I know most about. As I sit enjoying the cool breeze whistling in my ears, all those folk tales and my past experiences run through my eyes like a film. I never had such a clear and vivid vision of the past ever.
As I opened up my eyes after a silent break and journey through the memory lane, an early evening light fall over the mountains, with monster clouds coming over the place I was some hours ago. The only sound I then heard was a Click... And I started my journey as I have no sound around me.
Taken: On return from Kach Gali, Lake Saif-ul-Maluk, Kaghan Valley, NWFP, Pakistan.
The Library of Congress Steel workers in Denver
I claim no rights other than colorizing this image if you wish to use let me know
Title
Denver, Colorado. Twenty-four hours a day the sparks from acetylene torches of steel workers in eight Denver fabricating plants are flying thick and fast that the U.S. Navy may carry the battle to the enemy in all parts of the world. Here in secluded Denver, the world's largest city not on a navigable waterway, this war production worker, who has never seen a battleship or an ocean, fashions the steel hull parts which are being assembled at Mare Island Navy Yard--1,200 miles from where he and his fellow wokers are on the job to help "keep 'em sailling."

In past centuries, First Nations people of the Pacific Northwest – Kwakiutl, Haida, Tlinglit, Coast Salish, Nuxalt. Tsimshian – raised up huge poles of red cedar, carved and painted in bright colors with red, black, green.
In Vancouver's Stanley Park a collection of these examples of indigenous culture can be viewed by visitors to the city and locals alike. Grouped on Brockton Point, they feature creatures from ancient stories - some easily recognisable, like eagles and fish, while others are combined characters, such as sea-bears.

In the early days the Dodge Brothers made parts for Ford cars, but Henry wanted more control, so the Dodge boys decided to make their own car.

In a garden..... this cake was made for a dear little girl.... Rachel who turned 4 yesterday. When I asked her a few weeks ago what color would she like her cake to be she said " I like....hmmmm...pink, yellow, red, blues, green, purple, white...in that short time she almost listed the entire range of the rainbow. She also told me she liked lady bugs and pretty flowers.
So here is my little version of a beautiful garden....for a dear little girl.
Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did in make it.

In 1948 AEC launched its underfloor engine bus, designated Regal IV, and the following year built a prototype vehicle in conjunction with Park Royal vehicles for demonstration purposes. A 9.6 litre horizontal engine was mounted behind the offside wheel.
In May 1950, the prototype entered service on loan to London Transport (LT), allocated to St. Albans garage for route 355 and registered UMP227. It later also worked for LT out of Reigate garage.
Subsequently demonstrated to several other provincial operators, in 1951 it returned to AEC where it was used by engineering staff for development work. From these evaluations, London Transport ordered 700 chassis but with Metropolitan Cammell bodies which became the RF class.
At AEC Southall, UMP227 had most of the seats removed and was used as a staff vehicle whilst still wearing its London Transport green livery.
In 2008, UMP227 was purchased by a consortium of London Bus Museum members and donated to the Museum. The restoration was completed in October 2013.
RUFOUS-TAILED HUMMINGBIRD Amazilia tzacatl. This Rufous-tailed Hummingbird is feeding at a red Sleeping Hibiscus Malvariscus arboreus flower at our house in Mindo. The hummingbird almost appears to be flying upside down, a sort of optical illusion. However, its back, wings and tail (as viewed here from above) are in a "normal" back above/abdomen below orientation, while the head and neck are rotated a little more than 90 degrees so that the bill faces to the left with the bill tip somewhat upward.
Malvariscus arboreus is a large shrub which blooms year round in Mindo and is widely used for hedges; it produces abundant flowers and the Rufous-tailed Hummingbird feeds extensively at these flowers. In the Sleeping Hibiscus flower, the petals do not furl out but remain swirled around the pistil forming a sort of tube. The bill of the Rufous-tailed Hummingbird is not long enough to reach all the way from the distal opening of the petals to the base and it pierces the petals near their base to reach the nectar. It does so by using the force of its hovering flight to press the bill tip against the petals, often penetrating two petals. Frequently the flowers are suspended at an angle and the Rufous-tailed Hummingbird pierces these flowers from their upper surface. The bill is somewhat decurved and probably for this reason the hovering Rufous-tailed Hummingbird often rotates its head as much as 90 degrees or more for the bill to be able to reach the nectar which is located above the hole produced by the bill.
This photo was taken in Mindo in northwestern Ecuador on December 15, 2014.

Ken & I witnessed a great phenomena on our way home! The little patch of mown ground looked like leftover cotton, or maybe trash, maybe white pelican feathers? I got out to take a closer look and discovered it was a rare form of frost! Frost feathers, or frost flowers- something we have NEVER seen before, and apparently requiring JUST the right conditions! It was like cotton candy/candy floss, scattered along the side of the road!

GSD K2 Cradling Big Stick Sitting In -7°C Hardened Long Island Snow Contemplating His First Snow (White Christmas) - IMRAN™
It’s funny to imagine I always lay extra layers of blankets atop my (once spotless) light colored carpets in the blessed NewYork home to ensure my dogs never feel cold. But both Kennedy and K2 always showed love of cold weather over hot. Kennedy loved being in cold Tampa Bay waters even in winter, which usually K2 stayed out of.
There was no snow during the 2022 NY home roadtrip that I made with both German Shepherds. However, K2 got to experience his first snow (and white Christmas) this year, 2024.
Clearly, his choosing to comfortably settle down into snow-hardened ground at -7°C (~19F) actual temperature — and -15°C windchill — suggests he doesn’t need extra blankets. 😂 Cradling a huge fallen tree branch as an oversized toy stick, he calmly watched the scene in my backyard.
It was a frigid Sunday as I took this unedited iPhone 16 Pro Max photo. I loved how the rear-sunlight lit up the edges of his forehead and profile.

I asked to visit the Maternity hospital in Pyongyang, a big place in the country where most of the women come to deliver.
In fact, we just had the right to see some premature babies in a modern area of the hospital.
This is one of the main problem you meet in NK: you can just see what they allow you to see...
North Korea
In the Pyongyang maternity, the staff showed us a raw of boxes where, thay said, the fathers and family comes to talk to the mother after delivery. It is made to prevent from bacterias. We asked if everybody has to go thru this process, they said yes, but it seems strange.
The official speech:
The Pyongyang Maternity Hospital has been birthplace of at least 710 000 children since its foundation in 1980. More than 390 triplets and quadruplets were born and over 600 triplets have grown up there for the past 30 years since the birth of the first triplet in September 1980. Whenever triplets were born, Kim Jonng Il offered different kinds of gifts including not only clothes, blankets and nutritious food, but also clothes for their wedding dresses.

Failed with isolation but other than that I am quite happy with the capture. One day I will learn my photoshop to blur the BG in post.
a very tall gum tree stands strong at the end of the rubble garden - I can hear the Fairies telling their secrets. Can You?
