“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

Wow. I'm shocked. Japan's prime minister recently apologized to Korea for 1910 to 1945. And this apology was much more believable than the past apologies by prime ministers.
Then I'm watching this special on TV about WWII. Interesting!! Won't get into details but it makes me think of lots of sugar on a donuts.
Anyways this guy is my super star of the week.
But mom, everyone is doing it...

The windows are two to three distinct layers. The figures generally are the most foreward layer made of painted/stained figures. The back layers are not painted but glass chosen to "read" as objects with a minimial amount of leading and no painting.
Every once in a while I'll see an NS unit mixed in with a bunch of UP power ... but this is the first time I've seen a train around here being pulled by all NS power.

INTERESTING FACTS
The Brown Pelican can hold about three gallons of water (and fish) in its pouch. They have air sacks beneath their skin and in their bones that make them very buoyant.
The Brown Pelican incubates its eggs in an unusual manner; it covers them with its webbed feet. This practice was detrimental to the species when the pesticide DDT was in common use. This pesticide caused thinning of the eggshells resulting in so many broken eggs that the species became endangered.
Though adult pelicans may consume as much as four pounds of fish per day, they do not compete with sport or commercial fishermen because of type of fish they eat.
A group of pelicans has many collective nouns, including a "brief", "pod", "pouch", "scoop", and "squadron" of pelicans.
This large tree at Weirs Beach made a very interesting contrast in front of the late afternoon sky. I love how the light seeps between all the leaves, and creates an interesting pattern.

Not sure what this plant is, or what it's up to, but I can't help but look at it and see an outrageous and electrified hairdo! Found in the King's Tableland, upper Blue Mountains, NSW.
