Wonderful empty old barn and corral, both in good shape and seemingly waiting for someone to recognize their value. Nothing is quite as frightening to a person in their 50s and 60s as losing their jobs and realizing no one is interested in their once useful skills and experience.
Dot The Eye! - Well, that's it for this sunrise series.
The intense sky and water colors changed from
minute to minute. It was truly a magical morning
and was really fun to see. Enjoy your Summer!

A Respondek operation that has largely been dormant for over a decade has recently come back to life, making me wonder if the end times are near. I finally stumbled upon the crew of Illini Terminal (ITS) GP-9 1604 (built as CRI&P 1328 in 1959) working some hopper cars out of storage for interchange with BNSF at Litchfield, Illinois, a process that ended up taking several hours as they were mixed in with a dozen or more empty tank cars. This is perhaps the most interesting thing I've seen all year.
Now, if only I could catch the Vandalia Railroad in action...
It's the same in every churchyard you said
These memories of endless love
Etched out in unforgiving stone
But I would rather you told me now
Rather than when I am cold and dead
I thought we would be together
I didn't think I would be here alone
The stones are more for the living
A promise never to forget
A love to go on
I expect you think me ridiculous
Tidying up the flowers and the edges
As if you were still in bed
But I miss you my darling
So I have to be here instead
A section of the churchyard had been restored recently, and some graves and the inscriptions cleaned. This particular grave belonged to a couple who had passed away in the 1970's.
But somebody had come, after the restoration, and left a token in memory.

All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina;
I made photos related to "street photography";
I photographed people who, for the most part, I had never met before, performing their portraits, I thank them for their sympathy and availability;
The volcano Etna, in recent days has shown an intense eruptive activity, even with intense phenomena called "lava fountains", continuous jet emissions persisted intensely for many minutes, of very high "fountains" of incandescent magma, very spectacular and uncommon, in particular, which took place on 23-02 at night, it reached exceptional dimensions and heights; I photographed that spectacular eruptions using a telephoto lens, from Taormina; I photographed Jakub Rizman, an excellent harp player, who spread sweet notes throughout the main square of Taormina, creating a fairytale atmosphere (on YouTube I found some musical performances of him);
these are just a few minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.
………………………………………………………
Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina;
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho fotografato persone che, per la maggior parte, non avevo incontrato prima, eseguendo dei loro ritratti, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità;
il vulcano Etna, nei giorni scorsi ha mostrato una intensa attività eruttiva, anche con intensi fenomeni chiamati "fontane di lava", emissioni a getto continuo perdurate intensamente per molti minuti, di altissime "fontane" di magma incandescente, molto spettacolari e non comuni, una in particolare, avvenuta il 23-02 di notte, ha raggiunto dimensioni e altezze eccezionali; ho fotografato da Taormina quelle spettacolari eruzioni, usando un teleobiettivo; ho fotografato Jakub Rizman, un eccellente suonatore d'arpa, che ha diffuso dolcissime note per tutta la piazza principale di Taormina, creando un'atmosfera da favola (su YouTube ho trovato alcune sue esibizioni musicali);
sono queste solo alcune storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.
home. such a magical word.
to me, there aren't certain types of home. everywhere can be home, a shore, a mountain, a caravan, a tent - wherever you can feel the peace in the deepest of your heart. there may be family members, a lover, a friend, a pet. or maybe only a coffee cup which makes it all familiar. i used to have a dream house, with many big windows and white, high walls. no furnitures. many books. big pillows. a huge bed with white cover. many frames. many candles. and two coffee cups. i don't think too much about it anymore, because i don't know what i'll have (or not) in the future and i don't want to be disappointed. (the reason why i'd say only one more coffee cup now...who knows maybe i'll end up alone) i know that overthinking about what happens next will ruin the surprise, so i'm trying not to. just let things slide, they say...
i haven't found a home yet. there are people i feel more comfortable with than the others, there are places i love more than the others but that's it. there is no place that i just breathe in and feel everything is alright. i'm actually not looking for it, i somehow know that i'll feel it when i'm at the right place...
will i ever be at the right place? what if i never will be?
ps. thanks sooo much rich for your wonderful gift! :)

I'm not sure what exactly happened here, as there were no other wrecked cars in the area, but the bus really took a beating.
1st Avenue North at 6th Street North, St. Pete.
I was flying back from Bengaluru through Dubai and saw this out the window. Unfortunately, the plane flight tracking wasn't working so I don't really know where this is.
Let me know if you can identify this particular peak.
A lovely 'African daisy'.. 'Osteospermum'..
TGIF.. Have a lovely weekend.. thanks for your visit and any comments left..
Just Hanging Out on the way home, thought I might grab a bite of dinner, oh it seems your low on bird seed, got any more. One of the local raccoons stopped by to raid the bird seed, found in North Carolina
Our birding group last week at Hart-Miller Island State Park in Maryland saw hundreds of Cormorants (from a distance), but this one was drying out near where we caught the boat over to the island.
View Large for the best look at the feather detail.
Visited Fishercap Lake in Glacier NP on this particular morning, hoping to see a moose or two before heading back to Calgary. When we arrived, another visitor told us that we just missed a bull moose, so of course we were disappointed. After sitting around for a few minutes, we decided to head back up the road to see if there were any bears out and about. Saw one at a distance and decided we to give Fishercap one last try; I don't give up easily when it comes to moose; LOL!!!!.
Sat around the shoreline, enjoying the beautiful scenery. We were amazed at how calm and peaceful the lake was, as it's generally quite windy at this location. Right about the time we were ready to give up, this bull moose appeared out of nowhere, made his way along the shore opposite us and then eventually made his way closer and closer, feeding on the vegetation in the shallow lake. A perfect ending to a fabulous trip.
Have a great Thursday.....appreciate all the visits and comments!!!!
