*[Funny Story: I found out many cruises ago, when you go to bed, wrap your camera gear in towels and put it in a closet or drawer (in an 'airconditioned' cabin), otherwise, when you leave and encounter that very humid sea air...YOUR LENSES FOG UP!! I forgot to do that on this morning and was devastated when I couldn't clear them no matter what I did!! (Didn't want to miss this!!) Finally, I was able to salvage a few shots...but you can see they're still a touch foggy.]
Like turning over a new leaf,
a sky opens to our disbelief;
an illustrated plate of the Sun all aflame
the book records what the eyes proclaim
unrepentent clouds now scatter and disperse
presenting the evening chapter's very own verse
read aloud those echoeing words within one's head
this moment lasts so long as it's read...
unchallenged now the Sun reigns supreme
like an intense kiss from a bedtime dream
as yet unset; empassioned and very much awake
in days and dreams, we must live without mistake

I have so admired so many street shots I have seen here on Flickr and have wanted to try some myself. I finally got my opportunity when we went to see a Cubs game while we were in Chicago. Everyone on this street was going to the Cubs game. This is the first game I have been to in about 30 years so I was very excited about the whole scene. I really like this shot. His body language, attire and expression just screams intense fan. No, he did not pose for me, I just happened to catch it. Ya gotta love when that happens!

It was super intense in the sky this morning. I'm wondering what weather event we're going to get from this amazing "red sky in the morning!" I'm glad I caught this because it was a fleeting moment!

went out to the Great Salt Lake yesteryday . . . .man, were the bugs intense! And didn't get the shots I wanted, but this was somewhat fun. Managed to blur that spinning umbrella!
Seem to have a rather intense look on my face! Must be the thought of having to change that radiator before the onslaught of winter.
I did few shots like this a few weeks ago of me on the floor in this dress and they all came out nice. this one I really like as its such a feminine pose.
It's been pretty stormy here the last few weeks...

Here is an old archive shot of the Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona from a couple years back. The light was so intense that evening that it lasted for a good 30-40 minutes and it changes from yellow to orange to red during that time span. It was an ethereal feeling when light is that good. Next year I will have a sunset pic of Mount Rushmore for President Day to show, but this will do for this year. Happy President Day, everyone.

The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption. It is located in County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland, about three miles (4.8 km) northeast of the town of Bushmills.
Around 50 to 60 million years ago, during the Paleocene Epoch, Antrim was subject to intense volcanic activity, when highly fluid molten basalt intruded through chalk beds to form an extensive lava plateau. As the lava cooled, contraction occurred.
Horizontal contraction fractured in a similar way to drying mud, with the cracks propagating down as the mass cooled, leaving pillarlike structures, which are also fractured horizontally into "biscuits". In many cases the horizontal fracture has resulted in a bottom face that is convex while the upper face of the lower segment is concave, producing what are called "ball and socket" joints. The size of the columns is primarily determined by the speed at which lava from a volcanic eruption cools.
The extensive fracture network produced the distinctive columns seen today. The basalts were originally part of a great volcanic plateau called the Thulean Plateau which formed during the Paleocene.
According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The story goes that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool), from the Fenian Cycle of Gaelic mythology, was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two giants could meet. In one version of the story, Fionn defeats Benandonner. In another, Fionn hides from Benandonner when he realises that his foe is much bigger than he is. Fionn's wife, Oonagh, disguises Fionn as a baby and tucks him in a cradle. When Benandonner sees the size of the 'baby', he reckons that its father, Fionn, must be a giant among giants. He flees back to Scotland in fright, destroying the causeway behind him so that Fionn would be unable to chase him down.
Across the sea, there are identical basalt columns (a part of the same ancient lava flow) at Fingal's Cave on the Scottish isle of Staffa, and it is possible that the story was influenced by this.
In overall Irish mythology, Fionn mac Cumhaill is not a giant but a hero with supernatural abilities, contrary to what this particular legend may suggest. In Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry (1888) it is noted that, over time, "the pagan gods of Ireland [...] grew smaller and smaller in the popular imagination, until they turned into the fairies; the pagan heroes grew bigger and bigger, until they turned into the giants". There are no surviving pre-Christian stories about the Giant's Causeway, but it may have originally been associated with the Fomorians (Fomhóraigh); the Irish name Clochán na bhFomhóraigh or Clochán na bhFomhórach means "stepping stones of the Fomhóraigh". The Fomhóraigh are a race of supernatural beings in Irish mythology who were sometimes described as giants and who may have originally been part of a pre-Christian pantheon
