“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”
― Viktor E. Frankl
“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
Although it is still quite cold there are obvious signs that spring is coming. These is a bush of snowdrops in the afternoon sun in front of a small river.

I think it is interesting how power gets put together on a big old railroad. Somehow, a pair of leasor units have been paired together for the Cedar River Local for the past 2 weeks out of Waterloo. It's pretty neat to see a couple of old ex-Soo Line SD60's paired back together again. Here, the girls sit at the roundhouse at Waterloo over the weekend. The Cedar River doesn't work over the weekend much, so the power will sit for a day or so unless needed on M338 for a kicker unit.
These Soo SD60's were in the 1st 21 units order (6000-6020), which were delivered between between August and October 1987. This bunch was returned leased, and some spent time on the INRD. Now, power short CN has them.
Het is een prachtige voorjaarsdag die er toe uitnodigt om erop uit te trekken. Dat kan per bromfiets of automobiel. Maar ook de lokaalspoortrein biedt een mogelijkheid. Wismar-bus T1 is zelfs van bagagerekken voorzien. Daarop kunnen niet alleen melkbussen of kratten geplaats worden maar ook de meename van het rijwiel is een optie. De sleufvormige steunen op de horizontale profielbalk bieden de fiets extra steun tijdens de holperige rit.
Hoewel er een bagagekaartje gekocht moet worden, kan er een keuze gemaakt worden om met de fiets bij tegenwind van de trein gebruik te maken. Tijdens de terugreis kan er met de wind in de rug en eventueel een vers getapt biertje achter de kiezen voldaan en zonder al te veel inspanning heimwaarts gekeerd worden.

Without light there is no photography.
It is the inspiration and life-giver to the photographic image.

Sincere wishes to all for a wonderful 2010 filled with beautiful light :*
We all know that New Zealand is the first country in the world to see the light of each new day, so it makes sense that Santa would begin his travels here each Christmas!
And of course with all the travel disruptions, social distancing, scanning in and vaccine passports etc his schedule must be very pushed for time again this year .... I wonder if he has already made some stops here?
Happy Christmas everyone - have a wonderful time with your family and friends!

This is a towel with my name on it. My husband have similar one, but in blue colour (and with his name, of course). We received them from my friend. She made our names on these towels, especially for us, so now every time when I use this towel I think about her too :)
Smile on Saturday - theme: "My name is..." :)
Aka Newport. This is where I live.

this is an old story now. My first gallery was called Kaedele - it disapeared one year later I never knew why : if it was flickr's fault or someone who could entered in my gallery with the very easy to guess password I had chosen. I was about to leave definitively Flickr but my dear friends asked me not to do it so here I am two and a half year later............
Happiness is as intangible as the sunbeams. They dazzle and you can not see them. You can only feel their warmth on the skin...
HSoS!
life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across
the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

The Cabo da Roca Lighthouse is located in the westernmost cape of continental Europe, and it's a true symbol of the place. It dates back to the 18th century, and it's the third-oldest lighthouse along the Portuguese coast.
O Farol do Cabo da Roca localiza-se neste que é o cabo mais ocidental da Europa continental e é um verdadeiro símbolo do local. Data do século XVIII e é o terceiro farol mais antigo da costa portuguesa.

Piran is probably the most beautiful of Slovenia's coastal towns, perched on a tiny piece of land jutting into the sea. It feels more like an Italian coastal town, without all the Italian tourists, and for good reason: Piran was part of the Venetian empire from the late 13th century to the end of the 18th century.
Piran is an extremely picturesque small Italianate city on the Adriatic coast of Slovenia. It is one of Slovenia's four coastal cities, including Izola, Koper, and Portoroz. It's Italian styling is due to its proximity to the Italian border and once belonged to Italy. The boat harbor is full of small colorful fishing boats. The main square is near the sea and full of activity. The streets are typical narrow winding medieval streets that are a joy to explore and find hidden squares inside the various neighborhoods. The Church on the hill is complete with a separate bell tower and baptistry. There is a walkway connecting the churchyard to a beach along the shore. The small peninsula of the city hosts a beautiful pedestrian street of various restaurants with delicious seafood and a gorgeous view of the sunset over the adjacent peninsula (in Croatia). The lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula is unique.
Piran offers great views of the small Slovene coastline, including views of nearby Trieste, large shipping vessels, and rolling hills. Hidden treasures include an old aquarium, steep winding streets, and local people fishing from the shore.

Texas is the largest cotton producer in the nation. But the crop costs more to grow than ever before: energy costs have escalated significantly; seed costs are much higher but help improve efficiency with pest resistance and herbicide tolerance (boll weevil infestation has hindered crop yield for over a century). Delta and Pine Land Company (D&PL) has been the provider of quality cotton seed varieties in the south, central and east regions of the state for decades. The high-tech billion dollar company produces transgenic seed. Patented variety “445” is a top-performing, mid-maturing type with outstanding potential for both yield and fiber quality. Who'd a thunk it??
There is true beauty in simplicity and in my newest article I give you three quick tips for creating images which are evocative and compelling not only in what they include but also in what they exclude. In photography, and in any of the visual arts, images which are simple, yet evocative, can be particularly powerful. Please feel free to read my article at this link. I hope you enjoy!
This image: There is an infinite beauty to moving water and it can be unlocked by looking beyond what we first see. The purple of a winter evening's twilight is softly reflected in the fast moving waters of the St. Lawrence River, Montreal, Canada.
This is an image of a beautiful male anhinga sporting his gorgeous mating eye.that because a vibrant turquoise coolr at this time of year when they are beginning their courtship. His mate will be very pleased when she sees what he is bringing home. He really did an awesome job breaking off this beautiful branch and I am sure he was pleased with himself. They are amazing to watch as they struggle to get just the right branch.
Wishing you a lovely evening and a blessed one.
Love is stronger than death, even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries, it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death. ~ Anonymous

An old broken gate is always worthy of a shot but don`t step too far as it`s a bog there.
This is beside a track that used to be a railway line at Bramber. The line went from Horsham to Shoreham By Sea .

It is a hot spring located in the Upper Geyser Basin. Its average temperature is around 69.8 °C (157.6 °F) and is 23 feet (7 m) deep. The pool was named by Mrs E. N. McGowan, wife of Assistant Park Superintendent, Charles McGowan in 1883. She called it "Convolutus", the Latin name for the morning glory flower, which the spring resembles.
The distinct colour of the pool is due to bacteria which inhabit the water. On a few rare occasions the Morning Glory Pool has erupted as a geyser, usually following an earthquake or other nearby seismic activity. Several entryways have been clogged due to objects being thrown in by tourists, reducing the hot water supply, and in turn altering the overall appearance of the pool.

Maybe it is seaweed salad before the fish entree. The mate will be pretty angry if this bird returns thinking this is dinner.
I finally got a photo of an osprey dropping in for the kill and it was after a pile of seaweed. It picked it up and flew out of sight. I assume it was nesting material.
There is a tutorial on how I worked on this photo in the December issue of psdmag.org
