“Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is "timing"
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.”

This is a re-touch of a photo that I shot of my sister in Hawaii last summer. It is for an assignment on The Portfolio:Pro Invitation group called "If I traded it all" based on the song "One Thing" by Finger Eleven.
The first thing I thought of when I read the assignment, was my sister. I remember a while back that she loved this song, and kept trying to find it to download for her iPod and couldn't find it anywhere. But as I thought about the meaning of the assignment I knew I had to include a picture of her.
The one "thing," or in this case, person that I could never live without is Kimberly. She is not only my sister, but my best friend. Sure we had our moments ...especially in high school...when we would curse each others' names, but all that petty kid stuff falls away, and we are left with each other.
My sister is beautiful, my favorite model, talented, and probably the best sister a girl could hope for.
I now live far away from her, and I miss her so much. I keep trying to convince her to move down here near me, but I doubt that will happen. But even though distance keeps us physically apart, I know that we will always be close, and only a phone call, or even a thought away.
I know she's going to read this...and possibly even cry, so to you Kimmey, I love you. If I traded it all, if I gave it all for one thing....it would be you.
There is always that moment of anticipation as I head for the beach, often the colour in the sky is the best it is going to be in the early dawn light but it is always just so good to see the new morning unfold as it will.
33 211 is seen entering Maidstone Barracks station on the Medway Valley line while working freight 6Y64 08.40 Hoo Junction Yard to Woking Down Yard as 4-VEP EMU 7885 passes behind in the background with the 08.45 Ashford to London Victoria having just departed Maidstone East station.
Its location is adjacent to the the Bilbao Airport main runway, in such a way that the Cemetery end is about 100 metres from the runway head.
The last vision of passengers from the aircraft before landing is the own cemetery, on the other hand, one of the more spectacular of Spain.
Sometimes it is VERY clear which road you have to go. Even though it is cold and misty... Just go!

China, Beijing,…autumn sunset over the Forbidden City, the “Zǐjinchéng”, in China now it is usually called Gùgōng, is the centre of Beijing. The Palace was for 276 years, 1368 –1644 the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty & until the end of the Qing Dynasty, established in 1636 & ruling China from 1644 to 1912.
Built from 1406 to 1420, was it the home to twenty-four Chinese emperors, from the Ming dynasty & 1420 until the end of the Qing dynasty before the abdication of Puyi in 1912. The Palace served as the home of emperors, their family circle, as well as the ceremonial & political centre of Chinese government for over 500 years.
The 980 buildings complex with officially 9.999 rooms, as a room is considered the space between four pillars. The palace represents traditional Chinese impressive architecture, it influenced cultural & architectural developments in East Asia.
The whole complex was built without a nail or a screw only with dowels & interlacing, the general renovation which started in 2002 is done with same technics & craftsmanship as in past hundreds of years & will need a couple of more years, by the year 2020, 85% by 2020 to be finalized & open to the public. During the imperial centuries it was forbidden to build any house higher than the Palace buildings, hence during thunderstorms it was the main object in Beijing to be hit by lightning
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, some damage was done to the Forbidden City as the country was flounced up in revolutionary fanaticism during the Cultural Revolution. However, further destruction was prevented when Ordered by Mao Zedong, the Premier Zhou Enlai, sent an army battalion to guard the Forbidden City to prevent further devastation.
Zhou Enlai was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong was the Chairman, founding father & intellectual leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
The Imperial Palace, built in only 14 years from 1406 to 1420, is a rectangle covering 720,000m2 with 961 mtr from north to south & 753 mtr from east to west. Crossing the Forbidden City through to the Tiananmen Gate, which is decorated with a portrait of Mao Zedong, the forecourt & the Meridian Gate to the north gate on Jingshan Hill it is a length of slightly more than 1,5 km. The Forbidden City is enclosed by a 7,9 mtr high & 6 mtr wide defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km, surrounded by a 52 mtr wide ditch.
The Forbidden City is documented as one of the most important five palaces in the world, with an area of 72ha it is the largest & ancient palatial structure in the world
The palace is 960 mtr long & 750 mtr wide, has formally 9,999 rooms, a room being the space between four pillars. The Forbidden City is enclosed by an almost 8 mtr-high defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km.
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork & artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming & Qing dynasties.
Approximately 15 million tourists visit the palace every year.
About 25% of the museum's former collection is since the Chinese Civil War located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, both museums descend from the same institution.

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal."
Glen Coe is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland.
It lies in the southern part of the Lochaber committee area of Highland Council, and was formerly part of the county of Argyll. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The narrow glen shows a grim grandeur.
The glen, approaching from the east on the main A82 road, is surrounded by wild and precipitous mountains. Further west at Invercoe, the landscape has a softer beauty before the main entrance to the glen. The main settlement is the nearby village of Glencoe located in Carnoch.
The name Glen Coe is often said to mean "Glen of Weeping", perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692. However, "Gleann Comhann" does not translate as "Glen of Weeping". In fact the Glen is named after the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long before the 1692 incident. The name of the river is believed to predate the Gaelic language and its meaning is not known. One possibility is that it was named after a tribe once living in the area; however this remains speculation.

Photographing Bee is a big challenge in photography.
I found this bee on the pink dahlia, my 1st impression is that this bee either sick or tire hiding in the petal that without pollens. then I attempt to move it. A soon as I use the stick to move this Bee, It began to move.
Then I found that the bee eyes are with pollens instead of the legs. I think this bee must be wounded otherwise the eyes would not be having pollens.
I am happy that at least I save one life. & This is a great shot.
Thanks for your view, comments & fave.
I appreciate it.

I had the honour to shoot Ceri & Rob's wedding on Saturday... After a week of rain, the sun decided to put in an appearance and made the whole day extra special.
This is my favourite shot from the day so far.

From the edge of Litlefjellet (800 m./2625 ft.), which is a part of Romsdal Alps,
looking towards Romsdalshorn (1550 m./5085 ft.) on the left, and Trollveggen (1700 m./5577 ft.),
also called The Troll Wall, to the right in the distance.
Trollveggen is the tallest vertical rock face in Europe (approx. 1100 m./3600 ft.) and at its steepest,
the summit overhangs the base of the wall by nearly 50 m. (160 ft.). Norway, June 2011.
This is a stock image.
This is from my recent trip to Romsdal Alps which is a 6 hour drive (west) from my home.
The mountain hiking I did there left deep impressions on me, despite the rain and wind,
and I am already planning to go back. This photograph was made at the edge of Litlefjellet during one of the mornings when the sky cleared up.

I was already happy with the horizontal format of that sunrise facing Angkor Vat but I'm even more thrilled by this vertical frame.
The juxtaposition of the trees and the holly building seems more flawless and peaceful.
Plus, I really needed two more vertical pictures on low light to compliment the two pictures shared yesterday.
From now on, expect the sun to be back. It's a new day.
Alkmaar is a small city located north of Amsterdam in Holland. Its popular for its cheese market. Unfortunately, we went there on a sunday when the market was closed. Anyways, we found the city to be quite beautiful. This is the city square in Alkmaar.
Gewone ossentong is een pioniersplant die van warmte houdt. Men vindt de soort in Nederland dan ook bijvoorbeeld in warme droge duinvalleien. De plant is in weilanden, braakliggende en droge grond, bermen en akkers te vinden en heeft een voorkeur voor kalkhoudende grond. Hierdoor is ze ook in de duinen te vinden.
In Nederland geldt gewone ossentong als vrij zeldzaam.
Gibraltar Airport is peculiar in that a road spans across the runway. However this road is not Gibraltar's Main Street described in various internet publications. This road supplies traffic to and from the Airport area and the land frontier to Spain. All vehicular traffic and pedestrains crossing is stopped and the road closed by barriers well in advance before any landing or takeoff. There is no possibility of an aircraft encountering traffic on the runway during normal operations. Plans to create a tunnel to replace this road have been on the shelf for over 10 years now.

Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano is a Renaissance style, Roman Catholic church in central Bologna; it is located near the Two Towers, adjacent to the Strada Maggiore.
A church at the site dedicated to St Bartholemew had existed since the 5th century; it was likely built atop an even older church and housed Benedictine monks till the 16th century. The church was designed by Giovanni Battista Falcetti with elaboration by Agostino Barelli, and owes the awkward facade due to its construction in 1517 at the site of a palace begun by Andrea da Formigine, commissioned by a member of the Gozzadini. The project, which is seen in the single-story portico along the exterior, was interrupted after the death of the patron, soon after completion of what became the side portico.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santi_Bartolomeo_e_Gaetano
La iglesia de Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano, de estilo renacentista y de confesión católica romana, se encuentra en el centro de Bolonia, cerca de las Dos Torres, junto a la Strada Maggiore.
En este mismo lugar existía una iglesia dedicada a San Bartolomé desde el siglo V; probablemente se construyó sobre una iglesia aún más antigua y albergó monjes benedictinos hasta el siglo XVI. La iglesia fue diseñada por Giovanni Battista Falcetti, con detalles de Agostino Barelli, y su peculiar fachada se debe a su construcción en 1517 sobre el emplazamiento de un palacio iniciado por Andrea da Formigine, por encargo de un miembro de la familia Gozzadini. El proyecto, que se aprecia en el pórtico de una sola planta del exterior, se interrumpió tras la muerte del mecenas, poco después de finalizar lo que se convertiría en el pórtico lateral.
This is another shot of the lovely weather we found at Tybee Island, GA. The Beautiful Weather for Gulls was shot at 9:43 am; this one, later the same day, at 9:09 am. It was shaping up as photographically interesting, but not much fun in the sun.
So I decided to make an IS-2 and this was the result. Not my greatest work ever but it ain't bad. Credit to the fuel tank thing on the side goes to Dips.
Enjoy!
catching a salmon and getting to keep it. This is the female I call Georgina if she can get from the water to the forest without meeting another bear there is a good chance she gets to eat it.
"Coffee" that's her name.
My family just lost her for a few weeks ago.She was die!!! :-( at March 27,2007.
I'm still so sad and miss her a lot.

The Great Hall
Temple Newsam is a Tudor-Jacobean house located 4 miles from Leeds city centre in West Yorkshire. The house was given a Grade I listed in 1951 and is currently in the care of Leeds City Council and is open to the public.
The house was built for Thomas Darcy, 1st Baron Darcy de Darcy between 1500 and 1520 as a grand Tudor manor house. In 1537 Thomas, Lord Darcy was executed for the part he played in the Pilgrimage of Grace and the property was seized by the Crown. In 1544 Henry VIII gave it to his niece Lady Margaret Douglas (Countess of Lennox), and she lived there with her husband Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox. Their son Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, who was born in the house in 1545, married Mary, Queen of Scots, and was the father of King James VI of Scotland and I of England.
In the 17th century, the south and north wings were rebuilt and the east wing demolished, replaced by a low wall with an arched gateway, giving the house a fashionable 'half-H' appearance.
The Tower is an iconic landmark on top of the beautiful Cotswolds escarpment. It was the brainchild of the great 18th century landscape designer, “Capability Brown”. His vision was carried out for George William 6th Earl of Coventry with the help of renowned architect James Wyatt and completed in 1798 on Beacon Hill.

Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park is a preserved area. It can only be reached by their schedule daily tour bus (old yellow school bus) or hike a 8km trail to get in there from the nearest parking lot.
This is a 4 images stitched panorama. I was hoping to have some good sunset lights. The cloudy weather never really go away within the 2 days I was there. And I think I truly experienced what it means by "There's no bad lighting!!". And sometimes what you don't expect might give you the most dramatic results. Like the lovely clouds that put this image into a different mood. Hope you can enjoy this place from the photo as much as I do!!
The mountain in the middle is Yukness Mountain, and one on the right is Mt. Schaffer
Hope you like it!
And a great weekend!!

It is a fairy tale called Saiful Malook, written by the Sufi poet Mian Muhammad Bakhsh... And due to the fame of this story this lake is named as "Saiful Malook".
The story is about a Persian prince named Saif ul Malook who fell in love with a fairy named Badi ul Jamal whom he saw in his dreams. The prince thus started his journey to find his beloved fairy Badi ul Jamal. He was clueless in his restless journey until he met a Devish (holy man), who told him how he can find her. Devish also told him that he had to go through many exams before he could find and marry Badi ul Jamal, because she was a fairy and prince was human.The prince then starts his journey for the impossible in the name of his love. The rest of the story chronicles the challenges he faced during his journey and the spiritual lessons he learned on the way.

This is what remains of the German First World War ship "S V Carl" that sank at Booby's Bay in 1917.
After the recent storms it has been unearthed after quite a considerable time, but is slowly being buried again by the incoming tide. The light rocks in between the structure are actually concrete ballast, or what is actually left.
Thanks to Simon for the info and a great day out.

No Cropping or straightening here...
Erigeron annuus is a herbaceous plant with alternate, simple leaves, and green, sparsely hairy stems, which can grow to between 30 and 150 centimeters (about 1 to 5 feet) in height. Leaves are numerous and large relative to other species of Erigeron, with lower leaves, especially basal leaves, coarsely toothed or cleft, a characteristic readily distinguishing this species from most other Erigeron. Upper leaves are sometimes (not always) toothed, but may have a few coarse teeth towards the outer tips.
The flower heads are white with yellow centers, with rays that are white to pale lavender, borne spring through fall depending on the individual plant. Ray florets number 40-100.
Zomerfijnstraal (Erigeron annuus; synoniem: Phalacroloma annuum) is een eenjarige plant die behoort tot de composietenfamilie (Asteraceae). De geslachtsnaam Erigeron is afkomstig van het Oudgriekse eri dat vroeg en geron, dat oude man betekent, hetgeen verwijst naar de pluizige zaadhoofdjes.

This is a shot taken Jan. 3, 2025. These hawks will often hunt by hovering in place, flapping their wings if there is not enough wind. Red-tailed hawks will also do this.
In a stiff breeze they are able to just face into the wind and stay in place, known as kiting. I saw one of these hawks doing this today Jan 17, in a very stiff breeze, 20-30 mph. Some very cold weather is due to move in overnight.
