Thanking my maker, the one I choose to call God, for all my many blessings, on this day and always.
I hope all my flickr friends have had a blessed Thanksgiving
Summer lives or summer lives?
Summertime Blues, Eddie Cochran
I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just-a tryin' to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, try to get a date
My boss says "No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Oh, well, my mom and papa told me "Son, you gotta make some money"
If you wanna use the car to go a-ridin' next Sunday
Oh, well, I didn't go to work told the boss I was sick
"Uh, you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Oh, well, I called my congressman, and he said, quote
"I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Thanks to the good graces of the Iowa Northern and its great employees, we held a night photo session at Manly on May 30. Approximately 25 photographers were able to catch views like this of Rock Island E6 630 and E8 652. Huge thanks go to Chris Guss, who planned and executed all the lighting for the evening, and Rob Schreiner who provided equipment to turn on the nose lights and number boards.
The photo is about passengers through a window of a train compartment. People are sitting on a train and i took the photo from another platform through another train compartment's window.
Abby lives at Mahoney's Nursery in Winchester, and has a bed at the greeting counter. I saw her as I walked in, and went back to my car to get my camera. She was asleep however, and I didn't want to wake her. I went to the florist to buy a few flowers, and after paying for them I noticed that Abby had been awoken by other shoppers. I snapped a few photos and gave her some pats.
on an abandoned bridge just west of LaCrosse.
Somehow I always missed this before Chris and I set out to look for it. probably because Chris drives just a tad bit slower than me ;)

I felt like posting something a little different today. So I decided to post a photo I took this weekend of our cat, Fiona. I think it turned out pretty cool. I hope that you guys think the same. By the way, have a great week.

“In nine lifetimes, you'll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you.”
- Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)
Everything in our lives comes and goes. The going leaves holes, but those holes become spaces where new things can settle. What was once so true and real and present will eventually leave us. What feels like forever is only a moment. The trick is - we don't need to replace those things we miss so that there's something to bury the loss. We need only accumulate new experiences to sit alongside the old, making every link of the fabric of your tapestry stronger.
As I prepare to say goodbye to Coco, the thought alone crushes me. My heart constricts, I can't breathe. I want to be hers forever, but I got the call she's moving on soon. There will be a hole in me where she fit perfectly.
Life is the continual practice of welcoming and letting go. Breathing in and breathing out. The breath that goes out isn't the same one that goes in, but part of it remains. And so will she, and so I will I - never the same, but made more whole, more complete. How much richer my life is for being open to pain for the sake of beauty.

Yesterday I joined a few other photographers including talented Niall Scanlon for a meetup in London, we found this hidden little spot in the branches and I thought it was the perfect spot for Niall to enjoy a cup of magic.
Ivan Plusch was born in 1981 in St. Petersburg and lives and works in Moscow. The artist finds himself on a fine line between the distinct realism of the image and freely flowing abstraction: his canvases are always recognisable by the portrait silhouettes with a technique which he calls “leaking painting”.
From 2003 to 2009, he studied at the St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Design and, in 2010 and 2013, at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris. Having grown up during the fall of the Soviet Union, his art is strongly influenced by the political and social changes that occurred in those years. He reinterprets the art history and tackles the norms of social realism and integrates them into his paintings. Curator Dmitry Ozerkov describes his flowing painting style as “conceptual formalism”: “Any form and any idea behind it are doomed to being wiped out by time […] Pictures capture the moment of the crucial break of the point of assemblage-when the vital idea underlying the form suddenly turns into its opposite.” His works can be found in the collections of The Hermitage State Museum and Russian Museum, St. Petersburg; The Moscow Museum of Modern Art and National Centre for Contemporary Art, Moscow; and the Fondazione La Triennale di Milano. He has had numerous solo shows and participated in group exhibitions at prominent institutions in Russia and abroad including: Parallel program of Manifesta 10 (2014) and the Russian Museum (2011), both St. Petersburg; Museum of Moscow (2014); LOOP Gallery (2008), Seoul; Biennale d’Art Contemporain (2011), Lyon; the 5th Moscow Biennale (2013) and participated in Glasstress Gotika (2015), Fondazione Berengo, Venice. He was a laureate of “Sobaka TOP 50” (2013), St. Petersburg, and was nominated for the STRABAG Art Award International (2014).

It's 7am in Govindgarh, and the sun has not long broached the horizon. By 9am it will become uncomfortably warm and sticky but at this time, after a clear night over the desert-like flatlands in this part of Rajasthan, it's cold enough to need a fleece jumper.
The two young men approaching are walking towards the expanse of land behind me where a steady stream of people have been making their way from other directions - their purpose to wash using water from the wells, and conduct other morning rituals as might be necessary. Not quite awake enough to engage us but both doggedly making their way there and both carrying an empty water bottle which they'll likely fill for use later on as they go about their daily grind.
After spending the night in a comfortable hotel room with shower, fridge and air-conditioning, it kind of puts life into perspective.
Govindgarh, 16th March 2016
The photo is about two people waiting for a journey by train. Two people are sitting but they don't know each other but doing the same thing. They are using their phones. And we are watching them through the train windows.
While many innocent Ukrainians loose their lives because against the facist russian regime, life seems to continue like normal in Russia. Although, more or less like normal. 6 times a week russian rail operator RZD runs a train between Moscow and their exclave Kaliningrad. Although these trains are seen as a domestic train, normal russians can't take it without a permit. Because the train crosses Lithuania between Belarus and Kaliningrad, and the russians see this country as the enemy. But then again, did they are treat the Lithuanian people as their friend and ally?
During a moderate winter's day, train 030Ч from Kaliningrad to Moscow ran quite a bit late. As the Lituanian railways are responsible for hauling this train within their own borders, one of their modern ER20 loco's was in front of the train. With about 13 hours delay ER20-004, one of their recently repainted loo's, ran the train from Kybertai to Kena.

If you have to comment write something, not only stupid images please!
The North Yard Job with a great consist getting ready to back down the siding off the Cuba into the industrial park. Had a BN GP40M leading with a BN caboose in the back.
You know when you see spit on your plants in the garden. Well, this is what lives inside! The Froghopper or sometimes called Spittlebug. The phlegm they live in is called Cuckoo Spit, secreted from their backside! They live in this munching away at the tender shoots and sap until adulthood. In some of the larger portions of spit, you will find mucky black stuff. This is the shedded skin of the bug as it matures.
More useless information on Froghoppers will be published once I get an image of an adult sometime in July :)
