"Insolite et superbe vue enneigée." (VINCENT / www.flickr.com/photos/58769600@N07/)
I must admit that some obstacles are too high to overcome.
This photo was taken by a Kowa/SIX medium format film camera and KOWA 1:3.5/55mm lens with a Zenza Bronica 67mm SO56•2C(YA3) fllter using Adox CHS 100 II film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600.
An obstacle is often an unrecognized opportunity.

With the internet and several trees down thanks to an ice storm, I decided to pass the time by railfanning because I thought the ice made for a pretty picture! As branches collapse under the weight of the Ice King, an eastbound CN L533 also feels the wrath of the crazed Simon Petrikov. A track worker pulled up to the relay shed, illuminated with a flashing beacon, and the disabled signal behind me at MP 327.2. He told me the ice was messing with the railroad crossings and signals, and they had to manually flag crossings along the way. He left, the signal came back on, and another worker came around with a generator, hooked it up to the relay shed, and got the crossing up and running for L533 to pass, with the conductor stepping off his locomotive to provide extra protection. After the local knocked the signal down to red, it went dark once more. It seemed like a really tedious process, but thank you to the CN crew for being so nice and chill about me railfanning!
A pair of Banded Demoiselles (Calopteryx splendens) keep trying and failing to form a mating wheel by the River Welland near Stamford. The grass stem she is perched on prevents her abdomen moving forward, and every time he lifts her up the grass rises too. They were stuck on stupid for quite some time.
I inadvertently did them a favour by getting too close. They flew off together and landed somewhere more suited to copulation (but not for photography).

I believe that human morality, rather than flagrant sin, is the greatest obstacle to the gospel today. If you ask the average law-abiding person why he expects to go to heaven, the answer will be some form of “because I’ve been good.” The rich young ruler (see Matthew 19:16-20), the prodigal son’s older brother (see Luke 15:28-30), and the Pharisee praying in the temple (see Luke 18:9-12) all had this in common: They were confident of their own goodness. Their attitude is replicated throughout our society. And the more religious a person is, the more difficult it is for that person to realize his or her need for the righteousness of Jesus Christ. - Jerry Bridges
Sort of funny story, was met with this scene upon arrival at Port Washington WI. Sunday, shot probably 40 frames, had some from a different angle that I knew were good, got home, was deleting some not so good, hit the delete all, caught what was happening, saved the last 10, will never know what was lost, oh well...such is life!
[...] When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead. No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress. We cannot take more than one step at a time [...]

For macro Mondays theme "Just White Paper".
This theme was a real challenge for me and a big obstacle, that i could not overcome as i wanted to.
“For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin… But
there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten
through first, some unfinished business, time to still be served, a debt
to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these
obstacles were my life.”
