On an otherwise cloudy and drab evening, a burst of color sticks out among the gray concrete of the Hardy Toll Road in north Houston. UP 1979, the "We are One" commemorative locomotive, wears a unique and colorful livery to honor UP's employee resource groups.
It's seen here waiting on a new crew at Parker to take the train north out of Houston on UP's Palestine Sub. The Palestine Sub is known as "The Toll Road" since it runs between and alongside the Hardy Toll Road for the first 15 miles out of Houston.

As the light faded on 2014 we enjoyed one last drink of the year before turning sights to the new one.
Paxo, our westie at full flight chasing a ball.
Perhaps might have been better with a narrower aperture.
The term “depth theology” was coined especially by the Jewish philosopher of religion Abraham Heschel. He used it to denote a kind of pretheological common ground of religion to which one must return in interreligious dialogue. He compared theology and depth theology in a manner reminiscent of our distinction between the act of faith (fides qua) and the content or object of faith (fides quae):
-Notes on Chapter 2, The Afternoon of Christianity The Courage to Change, Tomáš Halík
“Theology is like sculpture, depth theology is like music. Theology is in the books, depth theology is in the hearts. The former is doctrine, the latter an event. Theologies divide us; depth theology unites us.”
-Abraham Heschel, Insecurity of Freedom: Essays on Human Existence (New York: Schocken Books, 1972), 119.
It was a very dis pointing sunrise this morning! I was up at 5am & went to Howick & only took 10 photos but I can say of those 10 not a single one was a "keeper"!! so had to get out for sunset! not much colour here either! but it did give me a chance to give my new filter (Little Stopper) a run out!

After spotting 6 loads and pulling 9 empties at Eastern Fence on the Calverton Spur, the RS70 crew is seen shoving on last time on the spur to reach LIRR's mainline. The crew utilized the runaround track on the spur to position the engines for the journey back west to Pineaire Yard in Brentwood. I've said it once and I'll say it again, this spur is easily my favorite spot on the Island, an area that constantly makes you ask yourself "Am I really still on Long Island?"
Venice, Italy
One of my themes for Venice was to capture the little details and unusual images that might get overlooked when visiting this architectural gem of a location. However, that plan went straight out of the window (excuse the pun) as soon as we arrived on the train. With limited time, especially sunrise and sunset locations the obvious cliché shots took precedence as my Venice stream shows. But, hopefully the odd shot like this will show my intentions... I'm sure I can find one or two more if I look hard enough.
I hate making panoramas with my 13" laptop piece of shit! Can´t wait for faster computer.. Regardless, here it is! :D Same place as the previous picture was taken; Kopparnnäs. Polarization filer used in 14 different photos @ 15mm.

Just messing around with parts to build some mini-bots... or drones... or whatever the kids are calling 'em these days...
By contemplating the created order, and by contemplating and ordering the moral structure of one’s own life, one would be led to the pure theoria of the fountainhead of all existence, ho on, ‘the existing one’, ‘He Who is’, this being the name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush. Historical revelation in this light becomes God’s method of spelling out truth in the terms of the world: an arrangement of clues which, rightly seen, leads to illumination. However, this is not really comparable to the enlightenment of the gnostic: there is no ‘technology’ here, no suggestion of control over the laws of the Spirit. The end is simply contemplation, the enjoying of God for his sake alone; and Philo shares the biblical repugnance for any suggestion that God can be brought into human control. God can never be contained in human concepts. Moses ascends into a cloud and darkness beyond the scope of intellect, where God offers himself directly to the vision, without the intervention of any form or idea. Here, then, the pilgrimage of the understanding is seen not (as for the gnostic) in terms of acquisition but in terms of stripping away, the stripping of multiple and diffuse kinds of apprehension to the simplicity of a single-hearted vision –in Platonic terms, the return from the Many to the primal One.

NÃO DEIXE O AMOR PASSAR
Quando encontrar alguém e esse alguém fizer seu coração parar de funcionar por alguns segundos, preste atenção: pode ser a pessoa mais importante da sua vida.
Se os olhares se cruzarem e, neste momento,houver o mesmo brilho intenso entre eles, fique alerta: pode ser a pessoa que você está esperando desde o dia em que nasceu.
Se o toque dos lábios for intenso, se o beijo for apaixonante, e os olhos se encherem d’água neste momento, perceba: existe algo mágico entre vocês.
Se o primeiro e o último pensamento do seu dia for essa pessoa, se a vontade de ficar juntos chegar a apertar o coração, agradeça: Deus te mandou um presente: O Amor.
Por isso, preste atenção nos sinais - não deixe que as loucuras do dia-a-dia o deixem cego para a melhor coisa da vida: O AMOR.
Carlos Drummond de Andrade
