Ellis Island est située dans le Hudson River. Cette île est un des lieux les plus importants de l’histoire de l’immigration des États-Unis. Elle doit son nom à son ancien propriétaire : Samuel Ellis, ancien colon des années 1770. Elle a ensuite été rachetée par l’Etat de New York.
De 1892 à 1954, environ 12 millions d’immigrants venant principalement d’Europe sont arrivés sur l’île, dans l’espoir de passer la porte d’entrée et de vivre « l’American Dream » à New York City.
Ellis Island était alors le centre d’accueil de ces nouveaux arrivants. Les immigrés débarquaient après des dizaines de jours de voyage dans des conditions souvent assez compliquées. Ils devaient ensuite passer un examen médical, répondre à des questions administratives et légales ou encore prouver leur capacité à lire afin de pouvoir traverser « la Golden Door » (la « Porte Dorée ») et commencer à vivre leur nouvelle vie.
Au total 2% des arrivants ne passaient pas à cause de maladies ou car ils avaient commis des crimes, des vols ou autres activités compromettantes à la sécurité de la population.
L’île était d’ailleurs surnommée « The Island of Tears » (l’îles aux pleurs) à cause de ces quelques personnes qui soit mourraient sur place soit étaient obligées de retourner chez eux car ils ne remplissaient pas tous les critères pour devenir un immigré officiel aux États-Unis.
Sur l’île, il n’y a pas grand chose à voir sauf le musée national de l’Immigration – qui vous chamboulera très certainement.
Ce musée « Ellis Island National Immigration Museum » retrace toute cette partie de l’histoire du pays. Vous y découvrirez le parcours des immigrants à travers des photos de familles, des documents, objets personnels, les salles d’accueil et les salles d’examens restaurés…
Depuis 1990, ce musée permet de comprendre comment les américains accueillaient les candidats à l’immigration en filtrant en fonction de différents critères (sanitaires, intellectuels ou juridiques…)
Au premier étage se trouve les anciennes salles d’enregistrement. C’était ici que les immigrés se faisaient questionner et inspecter leurs documents. Les américains faisaient des contrôles médicaux pour s’assurer qu’ils n’avaient pas de maladies contagieuses. Ils vérifiaient leurs origines, s’ils avaient assez d’argent pour vivre, s’ils savaient lire… Les contrôles pouvaient prendre des heures.
Au deuxième étage, vous verrez principalement les dortoirs. En effet, l’entrée aux États-Unis ne se faisaient pas forcément en une journée. Les plus aisés qui étaient venus en 1ère ou 2ème classe et qui n’avaient pas de problème de santé passaient au maximum 5 heures à Ellis Island. Pour les plus pauvres, ils devaient parfois y passer des jours voire des semaines pour s’assurer qu’ils ne seraient des dangers pour la population américaine.

Κατά τύχη είδα σε κάποιο κανάλι ένα αφιέρωμα στον “Μύλο των ξωτικών”
Ακούγοντας την χαζοχαρούμενη διάθεση κάποιου “υπευθύνου” να δηλώνει ότι εφέτος προσδοκούμε να ξεπεράσουμε τον περσινό αριθμό των 1.200.000 επισκεπτών(!!!),μου γεννήθηκαν κάποιες σκέψεις τις οποίες θα μεταφέρω γνωρίζοντας ότι ρίχνω λίγες σταγόνες στον ωκεανό του διαδικτύου:
1)Τελικά είμαστε παντοιοτρόπως ΝΟΥΜΕΡΑ
2) Το περίφημο αυτό “θεματικό” πάρκο τι ΘΕΜΑ έχει;
3) Αν έχει πάντως τα Χριστούγεννα,είναι καταφανώς εκτός θέματος εφόσον τίποτα απολύτως σ’αυτό το καταναλωτικό κιτς συνονθύλευμα δεν έχει την παραμικρή σχέση με την έλευση του Χριστού στον κόσμο μέσα σε άκρα ταπείνωση και φτώχεια.
4) Όλες οι ανά τους αιώνες δικτατορίες την ίδια αλάνθαστη μέθοδο ελέγχου των μαζών
(και όχι βέβαια συνειδητοποιημένων λαών) χρησιμοποιούν: “άρτο και θεάματα”
By chance I saw on a channel a tribute to "The Elf Mill".
Hearing the cheerful disposition of a “manager” to say that this year we expect to surpass last year's 1,200,000 visitors (!!!), I have some thoughts to share that I know will throw a few drops into the internet ocean:
1) Finally we are all numbered
2) What theme does this famous theme park have?
3) If it is Christmas anyway, it is obviously out of the question since nothing in this consumer kit patch has anything to do with Christ's coming into the world in extreme humility and poverty.
4) All dictatorships over the centuries have the unmistakable same method of controlling the masses
(and not of course conscious peoples) use: "bread and spectacles"
The story of the very important industrial heritage monument has been mentioned in a previous post

My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by
And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night
And the questions in thousands take flight
My love is the miles and the waiting
The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock
And the secret that burns, and the pain that won't stop
And its fuel is the years
Leading me on - leading me down the road
Driving beyond
Driving me down the road.

Question : S'agit-il d'une scène de rue ou d'une sainte scène ?
...En tout cas, ce ne sera pas la dernière.
From the Richard Harvey Kitchen Studio.
Raw file into Affinity Photo. Lost the EXIF data somehow but it’s: Canon EOS 6D Mark II, Lens EF 50mm, Exp. 1.3” @ f/18, ISO 320.
This is the photo that started the conversation with questions that perhaps can't be answered. I've always liked and hated this shot. The larger Blue-eyed Darners are known to perch in a vertical position and, in 11 years, I've managed to capture just one of these three-inch beauties. It's funny that I was able to catch five of these in flight with an SX10 in 2010, but never just resting.
But the question came up, should I Photoshop all the grass out or would that be cheating? Opinions varied and still do. My problem was that I've never learned Photoshop, and although I think it's fantastic what can be done with the software, I also think there's a limit as to what changes can be made.
Besides, I have a mid-level software program which I use for some edition. Certainly cropping. Maybe a little contrast, but I rarely touch the color. Guaranteed that my Cardinal Meadowhawk is the brightest red you've ever or I've ever seen.
Over the years, I diddled with this shot. The only thing I could do is put a vignette around it, but that still left most of its habitat. I actually started the summer of 2019 trying to find another perched as this, but no luck. So, like it or not, here's my one and only Blue-eyed Darner Mosaic (aka, Mosaic Darner) in all its grassy splendor.
Elle rassemble les corps de 2208 soldats, dont 577 inconnus. La bataille de Morhange dont il est question s'est déroulée du 19 au 20 août 1914 et fit plus de 8000 morts.

Since I need some winter images for a proper photo calendar i looked for something worth capturing during those days when we had at least a little bit of snow.
Actually the amount of snow we had wasn’t even enough to cover the grass on this hill, so I cloned out hundreds of grass blades, which was great fun.
Not.
If you are into counting, you are welcome to check my assertion based on the original image:

A photo from todays more subdued morning in contrary to blazing bright starts I have had of late. The heat has been too much for me with very little escape. It rarely gets this hot at home and if it did I have a cold house to retreat into. With its big rooms with high ceilings and very little direct sunlight its freezing in the winter easily fixed with donning extra layers and stays cool in the summer. Oscar hated the heat I would always look for cool tiles to lie on, where Toby would seek out hot spots as the sun found entrance through a window and covet that warm patch on the carpet. In the summer he would be forever in the garden room at the back of the house where he would lie until panting with the heat. I would be always telling him to move fearing heat exhaustion, he would move only to get a drink and would be straight back in his hot spot. I’m of course still missing my dogs dearly but I have conflicting feelings about getting another, partly in memory of Toby and Oscar and partly because we move around so much with the family being scattered and it’s easier to travel without worrying about the dogs wellbeing. The question is how long can I walk alone.
One of those days where you question the choices in life you made. It is a big day for me as I am finally off orientation. A day where I will no longer have the comfort of knowing that their is someone behind you every step of the way. Like the feeling of taking off those training wheels; using only your knowledge and your courage to ride forward. The fact that today was my last day, I would have wanted it to end with a bang, but that was not the case. I found myself questioning my decisions and all that I have worked so hard for. I felt so incompetent, and so stupid at the same time. These are the days that will challenge my fortitude and my desire to pursue this career. I am so nervous and unsure now, I feel like my confidence has rebounded deep within me, and finding it will take time.
Why go to school if you won't listen to the educated? I thought that was an excellent question.
I continue to be disappointed that children in the Untied States remain relatively silent while children in Europe are fighting for our existence. That is one of those things that clearly shows how manipulated we are.
Fantastic Friday to you my friend.

Well, some people may question me how i take those interesting images?.....
I often reply them with a laugh, just my pure Luck!
No, Not really so effectively, it fundamentally fall into my basic photography instinct Plus the game of patient waiting.
Waiting for the right moment will stand you higher chance succeding if you are also patient enough to expect what u didn't expect to turn out as primarily we can never able to control their subtle mind, but the rewards of patient to wait for the right moment to strike would be fruitful after plugging out some great courages tries..
Candid street photography is definitely exciting and super challenging, people been suspicously shot would be intimidated by your move after they discover your intention.
However, don't be intimidated and quit if you kept really a distance away with them as they might express the moment of time correctly suitable for the next golden call shot of the day.
My little secret to share, when i spotted what interest me no matter the distance is too far away, i will first subtly hit few triggle trial shots quietly to test unawareness is possible, then i will advance quickly closer to my target and compose shot that well fits with another few shots all in silent mode and auto ISO. if the angle wasn't right i would quickly recompose decisively as too many rowdy movement may alarm your target quickly and thing you don't want start fall apart wrongly. The vital elements is see the correct light and shadow fall and follow the direction of lights to position one-selves to capture them with as many possible good shots as require
What do they call that guy who hangs off the side of the boat?
Oh, yeah. Bait.

How Did The Monster From 'Jeepers Creepers' Not Only Register His Truck But Also Get A Personalized License Plate?
While editing this shot of a Common Grackle, my first thought was of phrase that my granddaughter said often while in her two’s. When she needed you to repeat what you had said she would pivot in your direction, tighten her brow and sweetly ask “Wa-you-say,” as if it were a single word. This phrase made us laugh and warmed our hearts every time! I often thought it should be her Indian name…if she were Indian.
Now that she is a much more mature three, she has refined her speech and I haven’t heard it for a while. I have no doubt that my wife and I will use it the rest of our lives.
Taken at J. Percy Priest Lake, Nashville TN on 09 May, 2022.
This species has phenomenal range from southern Canada and across two thirds of the United States from North Dakota down to Texas, from New England down to Florida, and the Gulf Coast to Central Mexico. It is a well-known species, but not commonly encountered. I was quite surprised to find it in Texas.

Typically, when I post a photo, it’s my own work, and the only description is the lyrics of a song that sparked the idea in my mind. But this picture is different. This was taken by Ari Gunner, who, without hesitation or expectation, offered to help me with my first store simply because she wanted to see me succeed. That simple act of kindness perfectly sums up who Ari was—not just in that moment, but in every moment I was lucky enough to share with her.
She wasn’t just a friend; she was the closest thing I ever had to a mother, both in SL and RL. She was there for me in ways that no one else was, without question, without obligation—just pure, unwavering support. She took care of me when she didn’t have to, when the world felt heavy, and when I felt alone.
I will carry her kindness, her love, and her generosity with me for the rest of my life. She gave so much and asked for nothing in return. That is the kind of love that never fades, and I will never forget her.

flamingos offer lessons in makeup and in impersonating a question mark...
I have to sell some photos at my church fall fair, and I have a question for which I would appreciate any and all feedback:
I'm going to print 5"x7" photos and put them in mats. the question is: For a church fair where I don't think people are going to be willing to spend lots of money, should I just have them machine printed and keep the price at $10 each, or should I get them printed at $7 each, and then charge $15 each?
what do you think???????

Taken this morning while scouting out waterfalls with my daughter. We came upon this ridge and this was the scene across the way. I liked how you could see the river on each side of the scene....The sun was doing its best to break through the clouds but I was able to get a few shots off before the harsh light took effect
