My teammate, Aloysius, raising his arms at the sight of "Disco Ridge". We ran on the ridge for a glorious half hour. I leap-frogged to the front of and behind my teammates to get as many shots as possible.
The Pentax Optio 43WR is a great camera for this sort of activity - it is light, water-resistant, and takes normal AA batteries.
It was spared by the kitchen knife, only to live a life of solitude.
The French title inspired by the 2007 Cote du Rhone in which I shall drown my sorrows this evening.

Standing on the bank of the River Liffey, in Custom House Quay, Dublin Docklands, these sculptures, titled "Famine" by Rowan Gillespie were presented in 1997 and are a memorial of the suffering, to the one million people who emigrated, and to the one million lives lost to the Great Irish Famine of 1845-1849
They stand on the departure point of the 'Perserverance' one of the first famine ships to leave in 1846.

'Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.
This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey.
In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.
Today I used a Sony 90mm Macro lens and using such a lens imposes some restrictions for street photographers but I like it.

This was taken on stage 5 of The Gobi March 2005. Its the race's longest stage at 92km. We are about to enter the Turpan Basin, the 2nd lowest point on earth. The temperature is 50 degrees C (122 F) in the shade, and without shelter, the heat out in the sun is merciless. Several runners would collapse from the heat; others would require medical drips to rehydrate themselves.
Again, I'm being towed by my teammate, Aloysius, and this shot was taken from the hip with a Pentax Optio 43WR.

Who's too young to remember this reference? Sometimes I feel like this at work. A bit vulnerable, but I know that with a little perserverance, I will prevail.

As if the wonderful photo sessions with the Bobcat Kittens and the mother were not enough, I spotted this Adult Bald Eagle when I was almost home from Green Cay today. The only thing that could top my good fortune of the last two days would be to win the lottery tomorrow night. To all those who waited out the day through the rain and boredom, congratulations to us all for the rewards for our perserverance. Thanks for the comments and the looks.
Dental work require patience, perserverance and attention to detail. I thoroughly enjoying comparing the pre and post pics

(sorry I've been a little "out" this week...promise to catch up over the weekend!)
This spot is about an hour from the Kingston / Queenstown highway. We walked up a track through open tussock, with views of the lake and nearby mountains, having no clue that after a turn we'd end up heading down to the bushline. As we descended a rough path, this little eden revealed itself, shaded by beech trees, amidst the roar of the creek. It's quite amazing what you'll find with a little perserverance, off the main tracks.

Virtually all young men spend at least some time as a monk. It is not an easy life (no life is easy in Myanmar!) so when you see an old Monk, you know you are looking at someone with remarkable perserverance and character.

Frozen in the moment of Winter
It speaks to me of stillness,
Inability to make a move...
The cold reality that Winter reflects
to us our frozen energy which leads to limitations.
It is outside in my window's view...
a frozen lake with patterns.
Beauty comes in so many patterns in my life.
I am grateful for even the cold and hard things
in life that teach me strength and perserverance.

This was lovely - a lone sunflower growing among the rusty steel panels and bluestone at a building site. You can find nature fighting it's way through even in the most unusual of places.

* I think these are the men moved from other cemeteries to Cypress Grove
Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery
120 City Park Avenue
New Orleans, Louisiana
circa 1840
Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery was built on the banks of what was Bayou Metairie at the end of Canal Street in 1840. In 1841, the remains of firemen buried elsewhere in the city were moved to Cypress Grove. The entrance pylons and lodges were designed in the Egyptian style by Fredrick Wilkinson for a cost of $8,000. Many Protestant began to be buried here when the Girod Street Cemetery began to deteriorate. The cemetery is lined with Wall Vaults many of which contain the remains of volunteer firemen. There are also several large multi-vault tombs of volunteer fire companies such as Perserverance Fire Co No 13, Philadelphia Fire Engine Co No 14 and the tomb of Eagle Fire Co No 7. Elaborate tombs such as those of the Robert Stark and the WH Letchford families stand in the cemetery alongside the cast iron tomb of former mayor foundaryman, Charles L Leeds. One of the most interesting tombs, is the Soon On Tong Association tomb used as a temporary burial space of Chinese residents. The remains were once brought here for ceremony before being shipped back to China. The tomb of Maunsell White, veteran of the Battle of New Orleans and promoter of the use of hot peppers and pepper sauces (still used today), is buried here.
