View from Ireland Park. The sculptures in the park pay tribute to the tens of thousands of desperate Irish immigrants who arrived in Toronto during the potato famine and found a new life.
This tragedy happened in a neighborhood next to a park where I like to hike. I don't know the who, what, or why, but am hoping no one got hurt. I'll update as I get info.

I photographed this sleeping beauty on last year’s polar bear tour in Svalbard. We had chartered a small boat for just our group to search for polar bears on the sea ice. On this year’s tour we will have to sail further North than ever before because of the extremely warm winter - there was a record low amount of sea ice in the Arctic this winter. The polar bears need the sea ice to hunt, but they den on land. This situation is a real threat to the polar bears, and unfortunately it’s not the only one.
Earlier this week, both Greenpeace and WWF showed their true colors by supporting the slaughter of polar bears. Greenpeace and the WWF justify their support for polar bear hunting by saying that Inuit hunters earn money by acting as guides for big game hunters who will pay an average of $50,000 to kill a polar bear. Greenpeace and the WWF argue this is sustainable, but scientists disagree.
What’s really behind their despicable decision, is political correctness. The fact that the inuit have been killing polar bears, seals and whales for centuries is enough for Greenpeace and WWF to put all their principles aside - it’s part of the inuit culture.
But the fact that something is part of someone’s culture, does not mean that it’s a good thing, nor does it mean that it should never be changed. Our history books are filled with traditions that we once had, but that we have abandoned over time for a multitude of different reasons.
Some 300 Polar bears will die this year, brutally slain by high-powered rifles in the hands of rich psychopaths and all for the purpose of protecting the jobs of a few dozen hunting guides. Last year Greenpeace brought in 375 million Euros in donations and spent $170 million Euros on fund-raising campaigns. Compensating those Inuit hunters for their loss of income if they were to stop hunting polar bears, would cost $15 million. Just saying.
Polar bears already face an unpredictable future with climate change and pollution and every loss of a bear to a trophy hunter's bullet diminishes the chance of survival for the species.
A few years ago we set up a photo tour to photograph this magnificent animal on the sea ice around Svalbard - the most spectacular polar bear habitat on our planet. One of our reasons was that we realized that with current climate change the extinction of the polar bear is closer than ever before. And that was before we knew that trophy hunting would be supported by the very companies that should protect them.

If you would like to photograph these magnificent kings of the arctic before they’re gone, then this is surely one of the best trips out there. We’ll be sailing on a small ship with an ice-strengthened hull, so we can actually move into the sea ice, something that most larger ships don’t do. And as we have chartered the ship for just our group, our itinerary is extremely flexible.
This year’s tour is already fully booked, but you can still reserve a spot on next year’s trip. That one will be led by world famous Wildlife Photographer of the Year winner Greg du Toit, who is not only a great guy with a very creative eye, but also one of the best wildlife photographers on the planet.

During my four-day loss of internet service, I decided I had enough images to start another collection, Shooting Sandstone.
From San Francisco to San Diego, I have shot sandstone, cliffs, rocks, formations, caves, whatever.
Going through the images and picking the best was something I have been thinking about for a while now. Thanks to AT&T, I finally had time.
Here, I am seen pictured in front of the gates to the old Coventry Power Station on the outskirts of Alderman's Green, near Hawkesbury Junction.
The power station is long gone and the gates, pylons and substation are all that remain. The land there is now forgotten and unloved, except for the sparsely distributed plyons. It was a coal-fired power station, relatively medium in size and coal shipments came by boats from the Oxford Canal which ran alongside.
It is possible to get through the other side of these gates through gaps in the fence along the canal towpath but there isn't a great deal there in all honesty.

Photo taken in New Orleans 2018.
On November 12, 2022 this aircraft was struck by another plane, as it and crew participated in the Dallas air show. Horribly, 6 people lost their lives, and two vintage aircraft were destroyed. I took this photo of the B17G Texas Raiders in flight at the WWII Air Sea and Land Festival 2018 New Orleans. I will always remember it.

Nog een diascan van de lijn Glanerbrug naar Losser. De spoorlijn is tot 28 mei 1972 in gebruik geweest. In de winter van 1974/1975 is de gehele lijn opgebroken.
I made this MOC in memory of my mother who sadly passed away last year. I finished it in the first week of this year already but because I had it on display for a while I didn't take pictures of it earlier.
48/365.
i had to cheat a little bit and use part of my photo final for my project. i actually had a different idea for today, but by the end of the day it was this photo that i felt connected to.
my teddy bears broken heart breaks my heart too, and im certainly not feeling my best.
i think its against the rules of life to say i hate my family, but i think i really do. i hate how they make me feel like im worthless, and like no one in the entire world would ever waste a second paying any attention to me. truly breaks both of our hearts.
The needle drops….
The night explodes.
First, the gat in your hand spits fire and belches smoke.
Then the rest.
You have no sympathy tonight.
You get no sympathy tonight.
Trying to stay on the straight line,
But the fire rages down below.
Death has no mercy in this land.
Leave everything you know…
Carry only what you fear.
This is what we’ll be.

These past few days we have lost Dame Angela Lansbury and beloved Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane.
Angela Lansbury was best know for her long running TV series, Murder She Wrote, as well as a glorious film career in which she was nominated for three Academy Award (Gaslight, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Manchurian Candidate). I remember watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks many times as a youngster.
Robbie Coltrane was a three time BAFTA winner for his role as Fitz in Cracker. He was well known for playing Hagrid in all eight Harry Potter movies as well as Valentin Zukovsky in the James Bond films, Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough.
RIP to both of these acclaimed actors. Lansbury was 96; Coltrane was 72.

An empty can of High Energy drink lies close beside a river, where wildlife is common. The owner of the can obviously had run out of "energy" to be able to take it home and dispose of it properly. Disgusting
