I am usually hostile when interrupted during the twilight hour because every minute counts at this time of the day and I usually have about 20 - 30 minutes of good light to get the shots I want.
So when a pretty young girl turned up with her camera and asked my help in getting the best picture of this view of London from the Hungerford Bridge, I obliged without any hesitation and temporarily abandoned my Panorama.
By the time, I took her through the scene modes of her camera and explained the best approach to get the shot she wanted, the light had changed and my panorama was ruined . . .
I've been back there since April but I never quite got the light I wanted so I am stuck with this one . . .
This is the Embankment Pier, the road behind is the Victoria Embankment and the bridge on the right is the Waterloo Bridge.
An inbound MD-N Metra comes right in the middle of Glenview, IL’s 4th of July fireworks, shining bright throw the smokey air.
(63/365) Years ago I was gifted two hollowed out ostrich eggs. No baby ever hatched hence interrupted incipience (beginning). I do wonder if somebody enjoyed scrambled ostrich eggs.
Metra 126 leads an inbound train through Arlington Park during the fireworks. Arlington Heights, IL.
Mirepoix Cathedral is in the town of Mirepoix, Ariège, in the south west of France.
The foundation stone was laid by Jean de Lévis on the 6th May 1298. Construction continued, with interruptions, over the next six centuries. The cathedral was restored in 1858 and 1859 by Prosper Mérimée, and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.
The cathedral has the second widest Gothic arch in Europe (after Girona in Catalonia, Spain).
It was formerly the seat of the Bishop of Mirepoix. The diocese, created in 1317, was abolished under the civil constitution of the clergy in 1790, and confirmed under the Concordat of 1801 and the territory divided between the Diocese of Carcassonne and the Archdiocese of Toulouse[
A morning drive to church was interrupted by this find along the side of the country highway.
I have seen many of these in Saskatchewan, but I was not expecting to see it in Wisconsin. This is apparently shaping up to be an irruption year where population booms in the northern have forced many father south for the winter. While this is great for photographers and birdwatchers, these birds tend to be stressed and often starve to death.
We were able to get shots of this bird without disturbing it, leaving it on its hay bale, where a friend passed by it a few hours later.
"Nothing is interrupting his holy melodies but the effrontery of the Russian jet fighters in the sky".
A child playing melodies in the street to help his family, thus they can find food. He is working in Damascus, which is still under the rule of Assad's Government, but does the Government care about its people?

I finished this and rephotographed it on Oct. 23:

Just a quick sketch tonight, after getting our youngest to sleep. I had thought I'd do an homage to Escher’s three worlds--leaves floating on the water, trees reflected, and of course a carp beneath the surface. But I worked quickly and put in the artist's hand working a partial drawing, also I have a chickadee flying over the drawing, wings flapping to disrupt the surface and throwing his own little reflection into the work. It's a fun concept but I didn't really execute it well. It would take a good stretch of time to redo it larger scale and more carefully--time I probably don't have right now :-) so Ill just post the sketch.

Even though nature may “insist” for us to choose between HAPPINESS and MEANING, it does not mean that it’s “impossible” for us to have both.
I think that I cannot “always” have both HAPPINESS and MEANING at the same time but as long as I can find MEANING in my life, I know I’ll find HAPPINESS there too “at certain times” no matter how brief or long it lasts.
I know I am happy whenever I make a piece of art simply because I enjoy doing it…but what does that mean? It means I have to endure a life full of uncertainties and "false hopes".
Despite all this, if I must choose, I’ll choose MEANING as I’m certain that I cannot totally “just” be happy. I believe, just like any other feelings ( e.g. sadness, grief, etc.), HAPPINESS too shall pass…it always does. MEANING, on the other hand, is definite as it gives us purpose…the reason to live “no matter what”. I would rather know that there is a meaning for ALL the things I’ve been through in life than to be a happy person by ignoring my past that I cannot “just” forget.
However, though I choose MEANING, I don’t live in the present “entirely” for the benefit of my future because for all I know I may die today. I honestly do not desire a longer life. I just want to “live” the life I’m given by learning from my past and doing the best I can with what I have until the day I stop breathing (period).
This is a "dark background" version of the 13'th portrait piece (Winona Ryder inspired) of my SHADOWS series where face features are created and accentuated by deleting parts of a shaded area. Actual lines are only used around the "eye area".
The SHADOWS series is a collection of portraits intending to show emotions OTHER than those typical portrayal of complete happiness and joy as I hope to convey those I believe are “meaningful” part of someone’s life.
We were surprised to find a bit of "white water" on the Cass River in Vassar, MI. A collapsed concrete structure formed the "rocks" that created this. Shot at ISO 64 with a polarizer and Marc's 2 stop ND filter to get down to about 1/8 sec. exposure.
Sunset interrupted
Indian Shores Beach, Florida

Pentax K-70
We were sitting on the beach enjoying the sunset. I was shooting a time lapse and that thing you always know is possible, and always fear, happens. Moments before sunset, one of the beach walkers stops and stares at this amazing act of nature unfolding before their eyes….and completely blocks your view of it! 😂.
The key to this story is the Timelapse. I can’t move the camera, and you can’t really yell at someone to move on the beach…so you get what you get!
