are you here to make your confession, my son?
yes, father. it's my first time. I'm not sure if I can do it.
of course you can. what are your sins, my son?
you promise not to tell anyone?
you can rely on me. in fact, it's nothing personal at all. go ahead, ask me if I care.
you don't care?
whatever you did is definitely not my problem. no way. isn't that comforting?
somehow it's not exactly what I thought.
you see? I knew I could put your mind at ease.
yeah. something like that.
Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.
Earl Nightingale
Eddie was a great diver and had gotten himself out of tight spots before but this had to be one of the worse spots he'd ever been in...
So the problem is not so much to see what nobody has yet seen, as to think what nobody has yet thought concerning that which everybody sees.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer
The problem with painting and drawing is I end up with lots of pictures that I don't know what to do with! This is a selection of my drawings, with some more in that pink box you can see on the table!

A CNR eastbound drops down into the valley of the Assiniboine River, just before it will make the tight curve and charge up and out of the valley where this French-speaking village is located. The SD40-2W (5262) and its mate (I couldn't catch the number but I think it was one of the un-rebuilt GMD1's) should have no problem getting up the hill to and beyond the Uno Bridge.

Fellas, there are like 1/2 dozen threads on this topic. The culprit is Android mobile, and the best guess is that Android bots are just going through people's entire libraries. Probably copying every image as they go, but if you're pro and click through to the details of where your pics are coming from, safe bet it's mobile/Android.
Not that you'd ever learn that from someone authoritative like, say, Flickr support....

I went out to try to get a photo of Comet C/2022 E3. We had finally gotten a clear night. I had read a few accounts saying that the comet was visible if you looked in the right spot and it was easily visible with binoculars. So, I went out knowing that I was violating one of the cardinal rules of astrophotography - the moon has to be below the horizon. On this night the moon was up at sunset and was setting at 6:00 a.m. I had a 7:00 a.m. meeting so going in the early morning was out of the question (and that was getting awfully close to sunrise anyway). Besides this, it was very cold about 10 degrees(F) with a light wind. I hadn't used my star tracker for a few months and it turned out that the battery was dead. No problem. I brought a backup battery. But....... the wrong cord. Darn! Have to get pictures without the tracker. Then the compass function on my star phone app wouldn't work. I don't know if that was due to the cold - did I say it was penetratingly cold? After turning the compass off and getting everything oriented to the right direction I got the stars lined up and figured out the right spot to look. Then my camera did something it's never done before. (I think I did say that it was damn cold) It wouldn't leave the menu page if I was using the back screen. OK. I'll just turn the back screen off and use the eye piece. Of course all of this is happening along with the usual frustrations of trying to do photography in the dark - though it wasn't as bad as usual due to that bright nearly full moon.
So, you can easily see the comet with binoculars right? Wrong. Not with a nearly full moon up. Eventually I had to give up when my fingers were too numb to run any of the camera functions or the knobs on the tripod, but I couldn't leave without getting a photo of something. The choice was easy - the dastardly moon that had foiled me in getting any photo at all of the comet.

Het zand zit nog op de hoed . Een gloednieuwe vliegenzwam.
Ik heb problemen met het opladen van foto's . Ze zijn niet te zien en ik krijg alleen het vraagteken in het midden.
Ook kan ik vaak geen commentaren geven en komt die vervelende panda weer in beeld.

The problem with 14th Century Builders was that they never expected a 21st Century TGirl in high heels would be visiting..!!

The problem with finding a good location is the waiting for a good subject to happen by. So the mind turns to other things, like photographing people doing interesting things.

I've been studying recent developments in the whole AI/Midjourney technology thing, and discovered a serious problem: some of my images here on Flickr have been used to "train image-generation AI".
There's a site you can use to find out if any of your work has been used to train the Laion-5B and Laion-400M image datasets: haveibeentrained.com I have found my photographs reproduced in whole, clearly without my permission and in violation of my Intellectual Property Rights.
Class Action lawsuits are ongoing to prevent unauthorized use of people's work, because clearly there need to be some rules about what can and cannot be used to train these datasets. You may want to look to see if any of YOUR photos are used in this way.
I'm contacting management at Flickr to find out what my options are. ALL of my images here on Flickr are marked as Copyrighted, and no unauthorized use of them is permitted. I'm curious to see how Flickr responds to this problem. I'm ready to permanently pull the plug on my Flickr account if I am not satisfied with the outcome. @flickr
Until there is some sort of resolution of this problem, either through class action lawsuits or Flickr safeguarding members work from misappropriation, I will only post a blank grey square every day, indefinitely.

Ageing is not only a western problem. People in developing countries are getting older too. Pensions or home care services do not exist in most of these countries. Children are expected to take care of their parents. But nowadays the family circles are getting disrupted. Migration, urbanization, wars and the aids-epidemic take their toll. Many older people have to rely on themselves and as a result, they live in extreme poverty.
Besides that, more and more children are depending on their grandfather or grandmother in terms of care and finance.
On one of my travels to Zambia, I saw the strong women, who took care of their children.
Meet: Elika, 60 years, takes care of 8 children, Esther, 72 years, takes care of 1 child, husband and 3 children died of aids, Katerina, 60 years, lost 4 children, takes care of 9 children.

El mejor teléfono cámara que ha existido, lamentablemente lo tengo intacto pero por problemas de software no funciona, ni nadie me lo arregla
I was looking through archives of our travels for a screen saver on my new computer. Don't know why. It can't be seen most of the day with programs open, but I wanted it, and that's sufficient. From Monterey to Yosemite to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, I looked for something on which I would be able to see shortcut icons. After quite a search, and guaranteed to be only in passing, I found a shot I made of the mountain's glaciers and "Eskimo" with my wife, also only in passing as in photobombing ;-)
We were about another hour and half before we'd reach the base of the (usually) blue-white glaciers at 8,000 feet at the foot of the mountain. All I can tell you is that the air is so clear and clean, there is a "taste" and the compulsion to draw in the largest breath possible. That was the color of the sky. I wanted puffy clouds, but in eight (?) visits to Mt. Rainier, I've never seen even one cloud over the mountain.
There is a point at which you used to be able to catch a glimpse of Mt. Saint Helens, but that's literally gone since May 18,1980. The year before - to the day, is when that Mt. Saint Helens blew its stack, and we haven't seen it since. The road from Rainer was blocked to traffic the three times we were there after 1990.
It is one of my favorite parks. I guess visiting eight times either shows a love of the place or a very bad memory. Each time, we took "new trails." Skyline is one of the best, but leave yourself a full day... Well, in face, every trail "requires" a full day. The one to Mirrow Lake is stunning, but it is a more difficult route traversing moraine where Pikas snub me and a stream that created real problems on our return and led to my first balancing act across a tree to the other side. No, there's no rails to hold onto. Worse, the trail is mismarked and many of the signs are gone. Surprize!
Go to my album of Mt. Rainier as see photos of Mirror Lake. Thereis the story of how a very old lady (well, we thought 87 and tramping through the forest..) helped us find our way back to the car. She was both a character and a special memory of the 2013 visit. (It was also 101° when we were there, unheard of - of course - and another "special memory."
Oh, I said I would explain the "Eskimo" of Mt. Rainier. I can't believe that I'm the only one who sees it (more clearly from a greater distance), but the black area front and center looks like an Eskimo with the hood from his parka...
So, a small break in the wildflowers, then to resume Monday.

Bulleid re-built Battle of Britain pacific 34059 Sir Archibald Sinclair gets the road from Kingscote with the 12.45 to East Grinsted.
I saw 34059 at Woodham's scrapyard back in 1968 but this was the first time I have ever seen it in steam. The engine was restored to service in 2009 but - like Boscastle - had firebox problems and only worked for a couple of years. It finally returned in November 2023.
The motorists stopped by this train should accept the fact that the old man isn't going to listen to any complaints!
This was the longest cut that I ever saw come out of the east end of Gibson Autorack Sort Facility. It must have been 200 cars and stretched from the east end, across 165th St, turned to parallel the NS at Osborn, blocked Osborn Street, and blocked 165th St. another time! One giant horseshoe of autoracks...all handled by a single IHB genset!
