I took my chrome OM2 for a roll and fresh air as in my recent uploads. I do feel that chrome body is too pretty and less romantic in some sense. The brassings at the edges of my black OM-2n has more romance in it - so are my black FE2 and F3.
Just my two cents :-)

This spot was actually a little side road off the main parkway in the foothills.

This juvenile must have gotten lost from the flock and was trying to hang out with any other ducks that would not run it off. Not a great image but I don't run across these guys very often and decided I'd post it anyway.
Listening to the songs from the Tender Love playlist, a follower, palioxis commented that he or she, I'm not sure, felt less alone... Truly healing power music provides. I hope my images provide similar effects as well... Have a delightful Wednesday, my dear friends!
Do you feel less alone after listening to the songs? ;-)
清爽些了嗎?
最近發現這個Youtube頻道，所列的歌單蠻療癒的，有網友說聽了他們所精選的歌曲，日子變得比較不孤單了，我也希望我的照片有類似的效用... 週三愉快，好友們~

Less than file miles into its long journey from South Salt Lake to Nebraska, Union Pacific's MRONP 18 accelerates through North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on Aug. 18, 2019.
So the body's an icy tomb
An urn to be fulfilled
With one thrust of sweet passion
True loves coffin will be sealed
You feel
You feel I need you
I need to feel you

I am not religious but I have always been able to appreciate the beauty in all religious art and religious architecture as a form of visual expression of peoples' beliefs.
The sculpture represents the crucified Jesus on the cross with Mary, and John the Apostle by his side.
I am very pleased because I went through a lot to get this picture. It was not easy for me. My legs were shaking. And I don't like/do heights anymore. It was a 'miracle'. haha
No Crop. No Filter. No Post Editing. NOT A.I. (That to me is like physically chopping up peoples' paintings and making a new painting from the pieces).

Norwegen / Nordland / Lofoten / Vestvågøya - Eggumsveien
Midnight twillight
Mitternachtsdämmerung
Vestvågøya (or less-commonly: Vest-Vågøy) is an island in the Lofoten archipelago in Nordland county, Norway. The island is located within Vestvågøy Municipality. The island lies between the islands of Austvågøya and Gimsøya to the northeast and Flakstadøya to the southwest. There are also several small islands and skerries surrounding the island. Vestvågøya makes up over 97% of the municipal area and about 99% of the inhabitants of the municipality live on the island. The European route E10 highway crosses the island connecting to Flakstadøya by the Nappstraum Tunnel and to Gimsøya by the Sundklakkstraumen Bridge.
The middle part of the island is relatively flat and marshy, while the outer parts in the north and south are mountainous. The highest point on the island is the 964-metre (3,163 ft) tall mountain Himmeltindan. The flat parts of the island are largely agricultural land. There is one town on the island (Leknes) and several large villages on the island including Stamsund, Ballstad, and Gravdal.
In Vestvågøya mountains have steep slopes towards the open sea in the northwest and southeast while slopes pointing towards the interior of the island are more gentle. This is the result of erosion acting on a landscape that has been uplifted along southwest-northwest-trending faults in the margins of Lofoten while the interior axis has remained more stable.

Vestvågøya (seltener Vest-Vågøy) ist eine Insel der norwegischen Inselgruppe Lofoten. Die Insel gehört zur Kommune Vestvågøy im Fylke Nordland. Mit einer Fläche von 413,28 km² ist sie die zwölftgrößte Insel des norwegischen Hauptlandes.
Geografie
Die Insel ist Teil der vor der norwegischen Westküste gelegenen Inselgruppe Lofoten und liegt nordöstlich der Insel Flakstadøya und südwestlich der Gimsøya. Von der Flakstadøya ist die Vestvågøya durch die Meerenge Nappstraumen getrennt, von der Gimsøya über den Sundklakkstraumen. Die Vestvågøya liegt vollständig in der Kommune Vestvågøy und macht etwa 97 % des Gemeindeareals aus. Zudem leben über 99 % der insgesamt 11.619 Einwohner (Stand: 1. Januar 2024) der Kommune auf der Insel.
Die Insel ist teils von Mooren bedeckt. Die Küste ist von einer Vielzahl an Fjorden und Buchten geprägt. Auf der Insel befinden sich mehrere Erhebungen mit über 700 moh. Teils ist die Küste steiler abfallend, bei der Stadt Leknes an der Südküste liegt ein breiterer Küstenstreifen vor. Die Erhebung Himmeltindan an der Westküste stellt mit einer Höhe von 962 moh. den höchsten Punkt der Kommune Vestvågøy und damit auch der Insel dar. Die Berge schirmen die Insel teilweise vor Wind und Regenfronten ab. Das Klima entspricht einem maritimen Klima, das zu milden Wintern führt.
Verkehr
Über die Insel führt die Europastraße 10 (E10), die die Anbindung ans Festland herstellt. Im Nordosten führt sie über eine Brücke auf die Gimsøya, im Südwesten durch einen Tunnel auf die Flakstadøya.

Sometimes the paths we choose to travel can be less acceptable to some people. This is usually because their view of beauty is different than ours... and that is perfectly alright, as we are all individuals. I have come to accept the fact that my opinions are not always going to agree with everyone else... again, that cool idea of being an individual. What troubles my heart is when people lash out at one another over a simple picture and their individual opinion behind that picture.
Thanks to my government and the US Marine Corps I have learned what it is like to take life... but that experience also taught me compassion and tolerance. I don't care if your gay or straight, pro life or pro choice... I can love the sinner and hate the sin, because I am one. (The sin I am referring to is judgement) My only redemption is that I have found the power of forgiveness... both in giving and receiving.
Please, let's step lightly on the tender lives of others, especially when we have no idea of the difficult paths that they have taken.
Just some musings from an old guy ;-)
The less photogenic passenger shuttle operation operated out of Thorndike. In reality it was better than the one out of unity, more parking, and is closer to the fair. GP9 1483 leads DIT GE70tonner 50 since the 1483 doesn't have Swedish style coupler adapters. Off to the right is two Swedish box cars.
I did a lot of Project Life shots today, but have also been playing on Elements this evening as I have just started the Kim Klassen ecourse. Beyond Layers Day 2 was entitled Just Enough and the task for the week was "say more... with less..."
Come check out my BLOG, I would would love to see you over there too.
Over the years I have taken close to 25,000 photos of my feminine persona. If you consider that I have posted about 3,400 here, that is less than 15% of all the photos I have in my library. Cristy is quite photogenic and 99% of the photos I take are good enough for posting so, how do I select which ones to post? Simple, I select the ones I like based on what I consider acceptable feminine deportment and appearance.
Since the beginning, my intention has been to share my feminine illusion efforts with likeminded people; not to get comments but rather to contribute to set a standard of tasteful and respectful emulation. Poise, attitude, choice of clothes and accessories, are among the factors I take into consideration. My inspiration comes from every single woman that I see and admire for her presentation and deportment. For me it is not a fetish for any item, but rather a representation of how women, my age, currently present. For instance, I don’t wear nylons because women do not wear them anymore and not because I don’t like them.
Fashion is important to me, but I select my clothes based on what I like and consider that would look good on me while reinforcing my feminine illusion. I wear mostly French manicure on my fingernails and toenails because that is what I like. You will never catch me wearing any unusual or trendy nail color or ornament, just because it is in fashion. A woman who is confident in herself wears what she likes and not what a trend sets, or others suggest. That is the kind of woman that I’d like to think I represent. I post old photos along with more current ones because it is not about how I look or what I wear today; it is about the art of feminine illusion regardless of time, fashion or whether it is the first or the Nth photo in that outfit and location.
After explaining my approach, I hope that when you look at my photos, you can see beyond what I am wearing and appreciate or criticize how I am wearing it, and how I measure in performing the feminine role based on that approach. Thanks to my approach, I have always received respectful comments and, over the years, l have deleted very few of them and have had to block less than a handful of people. I read and appreciate every single comment and even more so when they address what I had in mind when posting the photo. However, you should not feel obliged to comment unless you really feel like it and believe that you got something positive, or negative, from the photo, the title, or the text that goes with it.
From now on I will try to share why I choose the photo I am posting and will start with this one.
This photo is the first I will share of a long series of photos taken before and after my first ever religious service as Cristy (more about that in the future). In general, I’d like to think that my choice of clothes was appropriate for the occasion and that I was able to blend in, although I realized that I was a bit overdressed. A very feminine fit and flare dress with colorful flower print, by Maggie London, was, in my opinion, quite suitable, as were the Kate Spade flats that completed the look for Church. Nothing flashy or revealing here, as it should be. This dress would look great with a pair of heels too but would not be appropriate for attending Catholic Mass. For the pose I tried to be as demure as possible with my hands resting on my lap and my legs crossed in a very feminine manner with my feet pointing down (something that I find hard to do because my articulations are quite rigid).
_____________________________________________________________
A través de los años, he acumulado casi 25,000 fotos de mí personificación femenina.Si consideramos que he compartido aquí cerca de 3,400, esto es menos del 15% de todas las fotos que tengo en mi colección. Cristy es bastante fotogénica y el 99% de las fotos son suficientemente buenas para compartir. ¿Cuál, entonces, es el criterio que uso para elegir las que comparto? Sencillo, elijo las que más me gustan con base a lo que considero una apariencia y presentación femenina aceptables.
Desde el inicio, mi intención ha sido compartir mis esfuerzos en ilusión femenina con personas como yo; no para obtener comentarios sino para contribuir a establecer un estándar de emulación femenina respetuoso y de buen gusto. Postura, actitud, elección de ropa y accesorios, son, entre otros, los factores que tomo en consideración. Mi inspiración viene de cada mujer que veo y admiro por su presentación y desenvolvimiento. Para mi no se trata de un fetichismo por algún tipo de prenda, sino que de una representación de cómo una mujer, de mi edad, luce en estos tiempos. Por ejemplo, no uso medias porque las mujeres ya no las usan y no porque no me guste usarlas.
La moda es importante para mí, pero elijo la ropa con base a lo que me gusta y considero que se vería bien en mí y que contribuya a reforzar la ilusión femenina. Por lo general uso esmalte de uñas en estilo francés porque es lo que me gusta. Jamás verán mis uñas pintadas don los colores drásticos que están de moda, con distintos adornos y colores en cada uña, solo porque está de moda. Una mujer segura de sí misma se viste como ella quiere y no como lo dicta la moda o le sugieren otras personas. Este es el tipo de mujer que quisiera pensar que represento. Subo fotos viejas junto con recientes porque no se trata de compartir cómo luzco hoy o qué llevo puesto, sino que se trata de emulación femenina sin importar la fecha, la moda o si es la primera o enésima foto con esa ropa y en ese lugar.
Luego de exponerles mi enfoque, espero que al ver mis fotos puedan ver más allá de lo que llevo puesto y aprecien o critiquen la manera en que lo llevo puesto y que tan bien logro mi objetivo en desempeñar el rol femenino, con base a este enfoque. Gracias a este enfoque, siempre he recibido comentarios respetuosos y, a través de los años, he tenido que borrar muy pocos y he bloqueado a menos de 5 personas. He leído y apreciado cada comentario recibido y más aún cuando se relacionan con lo que tenía en mente al compartir la foto. Sin embargo, no tienen por qué sentir el compromiso de comentar a no ser que realmente piensen que obtuvieron algo positivo, o negativo, de la foto, del título o del texto que la acompaña.
en adelante intentaré compartir los motivos por los cuales elegí compartir la foto que subo y empezaré con esta.
Esta foto es la primera que compartiré de muchas que me tomaron antes y después de mi primer servicio religioso como Cristy (y ales contaré más en el futuro). En general, quisiera pensar que mi elección de ropa fue adecuado para la ocasión y que pude integrarme al entorno. El vestido muy femenino, ceñido arriba, falda amplia y estampado floral (Maggie London) era muy adecuado en mi opinión, así como las zapatillas sin tacón de Kate Spade que completaban el look para asistir a la iglesia. Nada llamativo o revelador, como debe de ser. Este vestido se vería muy bien con tacones pero no habría sido apropiado para asistir a la misa Católica. En cuanto a la pose, intenté lucir relajada con mis manos sobre el regazo las piernas cruzadas en forma femenina y sencilla, mientras intento apuntar mis pies hacia abajo (algo que me cuesta mucho porque mis articulaciones son muy rígidas)
