I was recently informed by a friend that this old barn is no more. The evidence made it seem that was bulldozed and burned.
I was very disappointed to hear this as we both had wanted to photograph it after it had fallen to complete the series of photos we had each taken over the course of a year. It's unfortunate that it wasn't located closer to home, but I am thankful for the photos I did get to take of this old beauty.
Today I was informed that my photo" Calla Lilies In Spring " is a Finalist in Digital Photo Pro Magazine's Emerging Pro Competition . Please, if you have the time, go to the link and vote for my picture, or at least the one you like best! Thank you so much!

2011 is almost over.. . It has been an amazing year to me. Even though I did not have much time this year to travel and photograph, I enjoyed every minutes I had in few trips to Palouse, Zion & Banff. I just wanted to say thank you to all of my contacts that have showed their support this past year. Happy New Years to you and your family! See you in 2012 :-)

Caribb informed me that this was the A340 that crashed in Toronto.

David kindly informed me where and when I might get an opportunity to see Black Grouse feeding and he was correct. Unfortunately only one appeared, it wasn't very close to my mobile hide and didn't hang around long.
I did get a few photos but they needed heavy cropping and the removal of copious amounts of cow dung - messy job.
Back in late 2017, Steven Welch informed me one of our favorite bands, TOOL, would be headlining the last day of the Northern Lights festival just east of Minneapolis.
Several months later, and thanks largely to a robust extraboard and a basically free round trip plane ticket, I found myself landing in Minneapolis to foam and jam.
On the last day of the trip, Mel Wilson joined us for some foaming before my flight back to Portland. ATCS indicated a train was lined across this bridge so we setup at the end of this abandoned part and waited.
We expected the red bongas (RIP Lloyd) of CP 199 when this weatherbeaten warrior came sauntering across the bridge.
I've shot plenty of red and white SOO units, specifically the SD60's while assigned to the D&H, but this was a first. I didn't know any of these still existed, so I consider us pretty lucky.
The train gods were moderately pleased that day....
One of my contacts informed me of another Janusz Korczak medallion, one that I have never before seen. It was minted in Czestochowa, in 1979, the centennary of his birth.
The Polish inscription reads, I was told, "The knowledge of life to children."
Dimensions are 103 mm x 68 mm (4“ x 2⅝”). The bronze medal weighs 520 g (about 18.5 oz.).
I wish this beauty were in my collection, but I cannot afford to be purchasing these things at this time. However, I can at least add it to my virtual collection.
Our tour guide informed us that these buildings in downtown have maintained pretty much the same looks as they were back in the gold rush years.
On this particular day, our cruise ship was the only one in port; so, there weren't as many tourists in town. However, on a typical 'busy' summer day, there might be as many as five or six cruise ships docked in port. And, that's usually when the locals will see up to 18000 tourists roaming this little old town.
Have a fabulous day, everyone...
Having been told he had proved positive for a ‘Covid Test’ this chap was informed that ‘It Is An OFFENCE’ to not self-isolate for fourteen days. Unfortunately he misheard, he thought they said he had to self-isolate behind ‘A FENCE’ for fourteen days; he’s counting the days, only twelve more to go……!
I was informed that if I walked over to the pedestrian-only Charles Bridge pre-dawn, I would practically have it to myself, but several hundred other people got the same memo! For sunrise I chose to put on the telephoto and shoot over everyone's heads to catch the crazy skyline
I was informed that this hen was of the Onagadori Japanese breed. I have never seen one before and understand they are genetically different to other breeds in that they do not moult. Apparently the cockerel's tail grows throughout its life. However, I did not see the cockerel as the person who owned the hen had had to give it away as it was so vocal.
This wonderful plant was right next to where I parked my car yesterday. So I wound the window down, grabbed my camera and took a photo of it.
What a treat !!
Thanks to the kind person that informed me the name of this intriguing plant.
I have been informed its Temptation Tuesday and everyone should post a photo of a cream cake or some such thing.
I didn't have any such photos due to eating said cake so thinking out of the box I am posting a photo of why you should resist Temptation as eating cakes can make you look like this.
Maybe this isn't a good demonstration as to why we should avoid temptation.
Ok I made up Temptation day just so as I had an excuse to post another photo from this set.
Sorry :-)

Yesterday Facebook informed me that the day was my "Hasselbladiversary" ... the day I purchased my 500 C/M. Since then we've been on many adventures and over nine years have made roughly an image per day. So here's one from my favorite camera, to commemorate the occasion.
This sign informed us that we enter a territory of an "alm" (alpine pasture).

After a quick conversation with the yardmaster for Aldershot about whether or not they'd have any work, the last CN 435 of 2022 is on the approach to Burlington West with a nice pair of GMD SD75is, both seemingly repaints out of the Homewood shops. Thankfully for this crew, they were informed of no work at Aldershot and after an exchange of "Happy New Year"s with the yardmaster on the radio, they were on their way west toward London.
Surgeon just informed me that Angie's surgery is done and was successful.
She will be in recovery/ICU for about 1.5 more hours. No visitors allowed -
not even spouse in the meantime.
A recent news article informed us that birds that love to play are the most intelligent. Australian Native Cockatoos and Parrots just love to play and there is no doubt they are intelligent. Comparisons are often made to kids up to the age of 3+. Like this Corella at Buckley's Hole, Bribie Island, the various types of cockatoos, galahs, and even other birds like crows, magpies and noisey miners just love to play and muck around. Watching them is sheer delight. Most relate very well to humans also.
I'm reliably informed by Jonnobird of B & W UK that this is a Willow and not a Wood Warbler. I was rather hoping that it was a Wood Warbler, aah well:))
A pal just informed me he bought a pair of Rapha sunglasse$,,
I have to admit I am supremely jealous,, son of a gun even got the tortoise shell jobs,, damn.
I have to go without,, and just ride with anything that works,,
Maybe I should stand on a street corner with a cardboard sign that reads, "WILL WORK FOR RAPHA SUNGLASSES"
If you want to buy a real Rapha H-Van here you go, www.rapha.cc/us/en_US/shop/rapha-h-van-miniature/product/...
This H-Van is from the esteemed JT, - Wayofftheback collection...
Khader was Yassine Labidi's friend. It was a shock the day he was informed about his death on tv. Yassine had just killed 21 people in the Bardo's museum in Tunis.
Before toughen himself, Yassine was living a regular youth, he used to drink, smoke and had a girlfriend. Khader doesn't understand, nothing couldn't predict this all thing

I have been informed that the man on the right is the famous Louis Mendes. And here I thought these guys were just dressed up as vintage photographers. The man on the left is Anthony Meyro, who was kind enough to identify himself here.

As for the rest in the annual Easter Milling About (not really a Parade) the crowd could be divided: those who came to be seen and photographed, and those came to see and take photos. Oh yeah, and then there's the biggest group, those who came to take selfies of themselves with the people in costumes, to post on social media, Easter, NYC -- April 21, 2019

*****It is with a heavy heart that I must say, I was informed this morning 8/11/23 of the passing of Miss Mamie. Forever in my heart. Sleep peacefully among the angels.)*****
This beautiful lady is Mamie. She has been in my life for 30 yrs now, very dear to my heart. On this long awaited visit, I listened, she talked. Mamie is surviving leukemia, she is as strong as ever, in mind, in body, in her faith.
Everything on this table surrounding her dinner, is a part of her daily life. The sticky notes are holding memories that she is writing, with the pens that sit in the cup. Those memories, she hopes, her family will read one day. Her favorite food, chicken and veggies, she enjoys as she chats away.
The plastic forks, box of 48, I had to look at those and a really big box that had at least 500 more plastic forks. She wants to make sure, there are enough for every visitor.
We recorded a video, cherished memories of her life. An early memory, when she was 5 yrs old, she would see her grandpa with the hunting dogs, foxhounds, just like my dog that came along for the visit.
She talked about food and cooking, she showed me her seasonings, about 80 little bottles of seasoning. She talked very little about her treatment. Life is good. Miss Mamie, is happy and she sits here, at this dining table daily, with the sun on her shoulders. The conversation is profound and enlightening.
Miss Mamie dedicated her life to giving. Her home was everybody's refuge when they had nowhere to go. She had advice, food and wisdom to share.
She was the very best grandma to my children. Her memory will live on, she touched many.
Her last words to me, were "I love you, Liz". She passed away a few weeks later.
I am informed that this is a Dutch barge, (or a boat modelled on a Dutch barge), which was on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal the other day (pictured here from the bow)

A heads up from a friend informed me that the Grafton and Upton would be making their third revenue run over the Milford Industrial Track with two loads for Bluelinx in Bellingham. So instead of doing the responsible thing and having breakfast and then going to bed so I'd be rested for work that night I did the opposite and headed to Milford!
The one shot I wanted above all else was them swinging through Bellingham Junction, but when I got there I found the fresh snow u undisturbed so continued on up the line. I found them just as they were departing from the junction in Milford where their historic owned property meets this former New Haven branch line.
On a brilliantly cold clear winter day it was worthy of a little chase and I got them at three spots before they got to Bellingham Jct. where unfortunately they derailed ending my chase for the day as seen in this photo posted earlier: flic.kr/p/2kANeRg
Here is the the third spot on the chase as the pair of pair of patched ex CSXT nee SCL MP15ACs (EMD blt. Feb. 1978) numbers 1191 & 1160 approach Depot Street at MP 33.4 as Nick Athanus flags the crossing.

The BBC reliably informed me that we were going to have crystal clear skies for last nights full moon…..well they got that wrong then! I set off anyway at 11pm hoping that the skies would clear by the time I got to the chosen location, Fewston Resevoir. But no, the skies didn't clear but luckily there was enough diffused moonlight to light up the surroundings, just!

Today Hope Squad came back to Coruscant. As I arrived at the Jedi Temple I was informed that an tragic accident happened over Er’Kit. Yesterday we lost one of our brightest minds of our time. Jedi Master Bal Dur. Her funeral will be in three days, but their is no body to bury. Her corpse couldn’t be saved…
With her death we also lost the whole Er’Kit system.
But their are some inconsistencies in the story oft he council told me. It looks like I have to make some investigations for myself.
_\\
//_16:6:30;
In today‘s press release of the GAR about the loss oft he Er’Kit system. Master Dur’s death was only mentioned offhand. That she fell "when attempting to hold the planet“.
Her apprentice Hode Vali will return tomorrow from the battlefield, maybe she has some answers.
_\\
//_16:7:1;
This morning I was waiting alongside two temple guards and Master Tiin in hangar C for Padawan Vali's shuttle to arrive. As the T-6 finally floated into the hangar I was shocked to see that the Padawan wasn't alone. She was acompanied by four Shock Troppers which transferred her to the temple guards.
After the schock left me I took Master Tiin to task. He meant I shouldn't interrupt council intern investigations.
Vali and I nerver met before but I as I looked into her eyes her desperation swept over to me.
Thankfully she gave me a hint how I could continue my investigations. "Ask Lok Lauvey." she said before the guards took her away.
Knight Lauvey isn't in the temple at the moment. He's in one of the GAR facilities in the north an information droid told me.
But this doesn't make any sense, for what did the council arrest Hode Vali? But the name Lok Lauvey spells trouble. He's the contact person of the Jedi for the Republic Intelligence. So it's certain that he has some answers for my questions but I'm not so sure if he will tell me them.
_\\
//_16:7:1;
Second recording for today. I wasn't the only person who wanted to talk to Knight Lauvey. Master Windu waited in front of Lok's chamber. He told me the council closed their investigation on Master Dur's death and Lok Lauvey is under arrest too, but he didn't wanted to say anything about Padawan Vali's fate.
Just that wasn't the reason he waited for me. The council has a new mission for the Hope squad and we have to start immediatly. An old friend of mine Master Kes Icsan and his battalion have problems with their long distance transmissions. They just go one way, he hasn't received any of our answers. These guys really need some hope out there in the Outer Rim. So we will bring them some new equipment.
And after this mission the council will be ready to share their results, Master Windu concluded.
Clearly they want want me out of their way, but why? Am I really asking the wrong questions? What has the council to hide?
Sometimes I think the politic situations of this war and these intrigues left larger marks at the Jedi than some might think.

Ok... on my last post I said this chapter would be up one week ago, but this will be one of the last chapters of the clone wars so it's important for me to find a good end for this era.
That's it for today.

Yesterday I was informed about some neglected kittens who were in a pretty bad way. A friend and I managed to get them out and get them to loving, safe environments. This little girl...so tiny, scrawny, scared and malnourished broke my heart...so I brought her home with me.
Meet...Miss Lemon 💜 she has stolen all our hearts...even the dogs'...💜
I was informed that Avanti 390119 in PRIDE livery had worked south through Winwick at 14.20 this afternoon on 1M12.
Interrogating RTT revealed it would return on 1S90 later that evening but would there be enough light @ 19.20?
This shot is only 5 mins from home and the farmer has cut the field a couple of days ago so it was worth the move.
Despite some very poor signalling at Warrington PB (do they know they have a platform 4?) AWC PRIDE 390119 by now running late just caught the last dregs of hard light.
The As Syakirin Mosque (Malay: Masjid As Syakirin) is a mosque located in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC). The mosque is situated near the Suria KLCC shopping centre and the Petronas Twin Towers, the tallest twin towers in the world.
In 2009, the mosque went through a major renovation to increase the capacity from 6000 people to 12,000 people.

Informed about an image thief recently. Apparently enough people have raised a hue and cry that the thief is no longer active on flickr. The power of the net for bad and then good! Thanks everyone.
Linus has just been informed that he'll have to stay alone at home on Friday morning because I have to take Fynn to the vet for his dental surgery. Alone with Cleo that is, but I don't have the impression that the presence of Cleo is much of a comfort for Linus. Her patience with rambunctious kittens has reached an all time low. Maybe he shouldn't have tried to pounce onto her when she was asleep ....
March 2011 - I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A FEW RECENT OWNERS THAT MYLAR IS NOW MANUFACTURER-INCLUDED IN NEWLY PURCHASED O-FLASH UNITS
Glue a piece of Mylar to inside, wide end of cardboard. Replace cardboard insert. CAREFULLY replace clear-cover. It does not need to be re-glued, but can be secured to black shell with Scotch (clear) Magic tape. I use a pair of chained black "ponytail" elastic bands stretched from lower end of O-Flash Fresnel ring, to a screw in the camera's tripod mount. This keeps the flash-ring in correct position when shooting downward. A taut loop of mono-filament fish line will do the same.
The added reflective surface more than doubled the ring-flash output, which is more than a full stop increase. For maximum Depth-Of-Field, I like to photograph manually at ISO 400, usually 1/200-sec at f/22, which also allows some sunlight background exposure. The SB-600 Speedlight allows for easy adjust of flash output for exposure control.
I have been informed that another Flickr member by the name of JANET CARTWRIGHT has stolen this image and posted it on her page as her own. I have informed Flickr HQ and await to hear from them. I have also placed a suitable comment on her page showing my photograph. The link to her page is

This is a perfect example of why it pays to keep others informed. After grabbing a few shots of K444 since it was sitting in the hole at SE Tucker waiting for a crew, I decided to head north towards the Etowah Sub to see if I could find out where W024 with an SD50-3 leading a SD40-2 was. Upon arriving at Emerson, one of the younger railfans I helped informed where K444 was had posted that the crew had shown up out of nowhere & was waiting for Q583 to clear up the single track before heading south. I quickly got off at that exit & quickly started heading back over 30 miles south, not knowing if Q583 was near them. Upon getting to East Switch just before Howell Yard, I get word that K444 just cleared the signal at SE Tucker. So I parked where I was & waited for them to come to me, not wanting to give Howell any chance of slapping another engine or wying the power to put the 2431 in a trailing position. Less than 15 minutes later, they come into view & I set myself up, hoping that the break in the clouds would hold. Here, we see K444 knocking down the East Switch signal as it's about to go under I-75. As it would turn out, I ended up getting the only sunny shot of this train that day, as it would end up sitting at Gilstrap the rest of the day waiting for a crew to take it to Etowah. 1-2-21
Slowly creeping up on two years since my wife got me a DJI Mini drone and having just got it back from DJI after it played Plinko with a tree I figured it was about time i edited and uploaded one of the shots I have. Here a pair of Port Inland SD20's meet at the pits, the train on the right is an empty train shoving back to start loading which is only about two train lengths from where the engine is now and you can see a mine truck brining fresh stone up from the right pit that has recently had the tracks yanked out to explained the mine. The train on the left is a loaded train that is notching up for the short run down to the docks. Mine employees informed us on this trip that some time in 2022 the public road would be gated off an all access to the railroad would be severed, I have not been up there this year but I have been told that the road is infact closed now.
Misha informed us that something was not quite right in the front yard. Upon closer inspection it turned out that our winter hare had returned wearing his somewhat darker summer outfit.
Arriving in at our accommodations in Haileybury, Ontario, I was informed by one of the other guests, an expatriate Haileyburian, that sunrise over Lake Temiskaming was particularly nice and worth getting up early for. So I did. I traipsed over to the town beach, a nice-sized area with a protective breakwater and set up my gear to get the lifeguard tower centred in the frame at the same time as getting one of the breakwater’s sodium vapour lamps centred as well. And then I simply took several multi-exposure frames for what I had anticipated would be an HDR image production later. In the end though, I did not like the HDR efforts and went to this manually composited image made from a single frame processed (initially at least) as 2 different end products. The entire process proved to be a pain in the posterior, but it came out the way I wanted, so sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. So here is dawn at the town of Haileybury’s public beach, sans lifeguard, looking across the lake over to Quebec . - JW

Tech Details:
Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D800 fitted with an AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm VR 1:4.0 lense set to 24mm, ISO100, Daylight WB, Matrix metering, Aperture Priority Mode, f/8.0, 8 sec (based on test exposure). PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file: NOTE: this image was processed 2 ways, one for the sky and one for the shore so they could be better composited to cover the range of tones: the common elements were: set final image size to be 9000px wide, enable Tone Mapping at default levels, use Shadows/Highlights to recover highlights and also bring up a bit of shadow detail, boost Contrast and Chromaticity in L-A-B mode, sharpen (edges only), save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: the two versions were loaded with the shore oriented exposure as the top layer and the sky as the bottom layer, and now this gets far to messy to describe here so if you have specific questions, just post them here and I will try to respond, but the sky layer was adjusted to get the best tonal range and colour saturation in the sky disregarding the impact on the rest of the image, then for the shore layer, the layer was duplicated to produce a beach layer (bottom), a breakwater layer (middle), and a guard tower layer (top) and then black/transparent layer masks applied to each followed by painting in the corresponding areas in white on the layer masks, each of these 3 layers as than processed for brightness contrast and for colour saturation and brightness (as well as contrast for the breakwater), each of these 3 layers was also adjusted to reduce the rather ugly sodium vapour orange cast as much as practical while still being realistic-looking, all layers , then create a new working layer from the visible result, sharpen, save, scale image to 6000 px wide, sharpen, save, add fine black-and-white frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale image to 3000 px wide for posting online, sharpen very slightly, save.
A friend at work kindly informed me of the location of several nesting Great Blue Herons. Yesterday I had the chance to drive there and I found them roosting on their eggs. I spent about an hour and a half at sundown observing and photographing them. They had build nests in deadwood trees that were standing in a small lake in the countryside.
What a privilege! Such beautiful creatures and not too bothered with my quiet observations... I was delighted to have captured quite a few good images, and this is the first one of many that I will be posting in a series featuring them!
Best viewed when enlarged... Enjoy!
SMHI informed us yesterday that Spring had arrived in Stockholm so earlier today I decided to see if that was true, and here is the proof.
I was informed recently that I post a lot of wildlife crossing the road. Keeping this tradition, here are three Sandhill Cranes strolling across Museum Road on the University of Florida campus, Gainesville, Florida.
I'm becoming increasingly mindful of the need to temper feelings of impatience and anger in my life. Disruption and disappointment are all part of the human experience. Not much we can do about it. I'm sorry, But developing coping skills is definitely within our means. I find myself continually sucking up news feeds like a vacuum cleaner. It's yet another compulsion (like watching YouTube videos) that has been enabled by technology. and is fueled by the accessibility of the tablet. The irony is the more I read (or watch), the shorter my attention span gets. The "what's next?" mentality guides my every click. Quite often this leads to frustration, particularly when I get consumed by rampant political discourse that is based on the relentless pursuit of power at the expense of any meaningful benefit to the general population. Nothing wrong with keeping informed. But I'm finding it extremely therapeutic to modulate the amount of coverage to which I expose myself. The collective anger and frustration of the nation will lead you down a rathole if you let it.

The day after the solar eclipse I found myself with model Jill at the site of a controlled burn of ornamental grass. It's burned off each spring to make way for new growth. A wonderful metaphor for regeneration through destruction. And a strong echo of the eclipse which represented themes of beginnings and endings. Beyond all of that, it's an opportunity for dramatic portraits. But the scenes that result exist only for the duration of the flames which is mere seconds. As is often the case, the entire session boiled down to just a single frame.
