Dactylorhiza fuchsii (Fuchs Knabenkraut, common spotted orchid) were very abundant in the elevated parts of Leoben.
enough for corel, for now. well, making picture really takes longer time than capturing picture. i even have no new shots. i must get some soon. but what's wrong with old photos? isn't it the purpose of photography, keeping memories alive? well, my apple, for posted today. i really can't breath now, maybe i should take a break again. but i will still comment on your stream, of course. thank you for your kind appreciations, my friends. and forgive me for my iphone's display too small, i can't put your names all there. i think i have to make it scrollable...
So today is the first Turkey Holocaust Day I’ll be spending all by my lonesome. It isn’t really fair to complain, since I opted not to accept any of the invitations that were extended to me. It's just that i take holiday traditions pretty seriously. Meaning that I like to do things the way I’ve always done them, not because I necessarily like the way they were done, but just because, well, that’s how I’ve done them. Coming to NYC a couple years ago was strange enough, but my dad always managed to be here for work around this time, so I was able to maintain some continuity. And of course, there’s always been a Twilight Zone marathon on television. Except that this year my dad’s working in Australia, and they replaced the Twilight Zone marathon with a James Bond marathon (?!). Damn.
So here’s a little Thanksgiving rant. Not against traditions in general, but against my inability to accept, much less embrace, any deviations from them. To dislike change is, like, totally anti-evolutionary. So what the hell is my problem?
P.S. This is for FGR (Fun with Paper)
P.P.S. Guess who left her ISO on too high a setting again? Dammit.
At first I found it difficult to get anything unusual or impressive from a single seagull on a grey drizzly day. Until I started walking away - then this shot presented itself beautifully.
Saturday 9.21 was shaping up to be a nice day for a number of reasons. One it was a day off, two the weatherman forecasted sunshine and this summer there had not been a whole lot of that. And lastly even though passenger season had just ended there were a number of train options available. I decided on Seward as there was a short Seward freight coming north with a single Geep and about 10 cars of freight to come north until the next barge arrived. It was partly cloudy when I left Anchorage but blue skies prevailed in Seward although when I made it back towards Anchorage clouds would return but for the most part the sun was out. Seen here departing Seward with 6 flats of equipment and 4 gons of scrap. Interestingly the scrap was from the decommissioned coal conveyor formerly used to load the export coal ships. 9.21.24
One of our local Eagles was quite close to me, standing on a large rock in the water to eat the fish he had just caught. Crows were hovering nearby, no doubt hoping to get some left overs. He seemed to be giving them the real 'Eagle Eye'!
There is personal feelings how to say it all...
Like clouds ☁️.. like rain .. like sand of deep sea 🌊...
There is personal feelings nobody to know...
Like moon high above 🌙 from far far away..
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.
Slim was following me around, so I led him a place that wasn't so sunny, then photographers him with my flash. He let me take a photo before coming closer for pats.

One of the nice things about Adobe Lightroom is the ability to organize images in various ways.
For example one can create a "smart" collection, assigning various conditions and parameters that would cause images to be included or excluded. When finished editing an image in Ps and saved with the PSD extension, I also save it in a TIFF version consisting of a single layer.
So I have chosen to create smart folders organized by date, such as Tiffs_2017-12, in which I found this image. All the TIFFs created in the month of December 2017 could be found in that smart folder unless they have been posted to Flickr.
I've done the same for PSDs. Opening this image's PSD in Ps reminded me of what I had done back in December.
Toward the end of last year I had been playing with photos shot with the camera and then sent to my phone for editing in the phone's apps. I had created various versions of this using Snapseed and Stackables.
I then exported each of those versions back to the computer where they got stacked as layers in Ps. By playing with blend modes and masks, and sliding opacity one can mix various aspects of each version.
Since I found this image again, I figured I should post to the Sliders Sunday group while waiting an hour for one of the world cup matches I am eagerly anticipating.
Germany - Mexico
If each team plays to their ability, this would be a fantastic game.
Maybe as much fun to watch as Portugal - Spain had been.
Meanwhile, have a great Sliders Sunday!
