An ice covered jagged rock formation is the highlight of this scene in Penola Strait in the Antarctica peninsular. Taken from a zodiac.

Today I had no idea and nothing I put on a reflective surface worked. So I went for a walk and got the mail on the way in. Found I got a postcard from Costa Rica with an electric blue butterfly on it. Bingo! I had my background!

Mark Knopfler - Postcards From Paraguay

www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2UISeUv4d0

 

One thing was leading to the next

I bit off more than I could chew

I had the power to sign the cheques

It wasn't difficult to do

 

I couldn't stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

from Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay

 

I robbed a bank full of dinero,

A great big mountain of dough

So it was goodbye companero

and cheerio

 

I couldn't stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

from Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay

 

I never meant to be a cheater

But there was blood on the wall

I had to steal from peter

to pay what I owed to paul

 

I couldn't stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

from Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay

POSTCARD WORTHY is the topic for Friday, October 22, 2021, Group Our Daily Challenge

 

I have to go to this castle a couple of times a year, it is worth a visit at any time of the year.

This morning the sun was shining so beautifully, but when I got there the sun was gone ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ich muss dieses Schloss ein paar Mal im Jahr besuchen, es ist zu jeder Jahreszeit einen Besuch wert.

Heute morgen schien so schön die Sonne, doch als ich dort ankam war die Sonne verschwunden....

I think it will be better, if you view it in large

Loved this old motel on Route 66. The pink doors and the rusty Packard out front had such a 1950s vibe. It has lived as motel all these years, it's awesome to see it still going! It's like walking back in time.

As with some 1960/70's TV comedies these cards which were very popular in the 50's, 60's & 70's have gone out of favour in this more woke world.

Bologna (January 2018)

Whitby is a seaside town in Yorkshire, northern England, split by the River Esk. On the East Cliff, overlooking the North Sea, the ruined Gothic Whitby Abbey was Bram Stoker’s inspiration for “Dracula”. Nearby is the Church of St. Mary, reached by 199 steps.(Wikipedia). Featured Locomotive Black 5 45407.

A shot that didn't made the cut at the time but which has some merits I think, not least because metre gauge trains are now a thing of the past here.

 

The shot was taken at Ringas Junction, Rajasthan and features NWR liveried Alco YDM4 unit 6637 waiting time with the 6.20am Sikar - Jaipur (train 02088).

 

It was breakfast time and plenty of passengers were taking advantage of the extended stop to grab a bite to eat at one of the concessions on the platform at right - taking the direct route across the tracks was, and is, pretty normal. A couple of folk have spotted me too, including the driver, (I was hardly incognito in a white sun-hat) and are quite happy to get themselves in the shot.

 

Semaphores were still in use and these were controlled by two signal boxes, one at each end of the station. This side of the station was still exclusively metre gauge but, out of sight on the right, broad gauge track had already been laid and BG trains were running.

 

So far as I can make out the line from here to Sikar has now been converted to BG and is operational; the line to Jaipur however is still being converted and, presumably, will be operational soon.

My eyes are white circles

above cheekbones on fire:

Pale hand gripping my pen.

Rounding up to the zero,

adding infinite fractions,

Letting nine become ten.

 

Two pink doves strut the shingles

Picking crumbs from the breakfast I saved

For you dear. and I wish you were here

On this postcard day.

 

Focus on the fine

indeterminate line

Where the sky meets the sea.

Desperate midweek words,

banal and absurd

Freely flow out of me.

 

Well, I may be a hostage to summer

But I'm a hostage, not a slave.

And I'm clear that I wish you were here

On this postcard day.

 

Precious cargo of flotsam:

mixed memories on an ocean tide

Swim madly with spice from the orient

On a mystery watery carpet ride.

But with the sun going down,

the wind goes around;

Blows them back out of mind.

 

My eyes are white circles

staring down past the point

Of my restless pen.

While the ghosts of my youth

all sworn to the truth

Call my name again.

 

Two brown legs don't make a summer.

But two brown arms couldn't keep me away.

Well, my dear, I wish you were here

On this postcard day.

Welcome 2014 :) I hope everyone enjoyed or are still in the process of welcoming the new year. My last day of 2013 was a bit of an emotional roller coaster at first but then it turned out just fine. Looking forward to catching up with everyone :) This is one of my last images from 2013. That's my girlfriend over there while we wonder around on the beach. Later everyone :) Peace!

From a project back in high school.

This was the first image taken from a day of chasing the light on Exmoor this Autumn. Many bows, plus the odd soaking and a walk thrown in for good measure. Wishing everyone a top week :-)
