The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.
Sir James Matthew Barrie
Scottish Dramatist and Novelist
Creator of Peter Pan
1860-1937
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay...

The fog was so heavy Friday in Casco Bay and enveloped Portland as well. I set out in hopes of the fog lifting enough to catch a large sail boat daring to leave the bay amidst the fog. But it was not to be, the fog would lift briefly then swiftly and silently flow back in. This is Spring Point Light in S. Portland, Maine and I am only 100 feet from the light and there are (honest) several fishermen around the lighthouse.
It seems like the kids are missing from most playgrounds these days. In this case the reason is obvious. I can't help wondering if kids spend less time outdoors now. But then again I also heard that Plato worried about the youth in his time. I guess it's a classic debate.

Poznan, Poland
Klasztorna Street
Stary Rynek
I shot this a few weeks ago and am just getting around to posting it. On this day, snow had started to fall but it had not covered this street yet, but......it is now!
There is something with the way
the shadows fall and the light plays off of the cobblestones that makes this pure magic for me. It is hard to not be completely overwhelmed by the deep sense of history that seems to exude from all of its pores. One of my top ten reasons for loving this city, Poznan.

Coal was the reason for the existence of the East Broad Top Railroad. The 33-mile, narrow gauge line was built to transport coal from the mines in hills of West Central Pennsylvania to the standard gauge lines of the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad, which interchanged with the EBT in Mt. Union. Of course, coal also fueled the EBT's locomotives, making the entire enterprise possible. In this image, the crew of EBT Locomotive #16 heads to the coal tipple at the south end of the yards in Rockhill Furnace, to fuel their locomotive for the upcoming day's operations.
This image was captured during an April, 2023 photo shoot at the East Broad Top Railroad, which featured the newly-restored Mikado #16. A close examination of the image reveals that the track immediately adjacent to the coal tipple had been removed as part of a project to rebuild the entire structure. Once the EBT Foundation completes this restoration work, the coal tipple should once again be fully operational.

“The colour, the people, the culture and the rich cuisine are some of the reasons why we booked a ticket to India. It was a year-long planning before we finally set foot in this vast continent that crosses boundaries of ethnicity and nationalities. India is also a cradle of civilisation. Its rivers and trade routes are important landmarks of its history. Ganges river in Varanasi has played an important role not only in the history of the Indian people but as well as with its people and religion. Varanasi is a must when you go to India because of Ganges River.”

I was going to post this yesterday, as the Atlantic Ocean hurricane season officially began on June 1. To all my friends there in the Gulf and around the Atlantic Ocean, be careful and be safe!
Jimmy Buffett sums it up better than I can...
"My second house in Key West, Florida was tucked away under fichus trees near the old Casa Marina Hotel. From my beach I could see the flashing red and green lights that marked the ship channel and ended at the Gulf Stream. Clouds used to gather over the the warm waters and spill out the rain and thunder. It was quite a light show. My front yard was my “thinking spot” in those days. I had a rocking chair and a hammock. When you come to think of it, you don't need much more..."
Cue the song of the day:
Well, the wind is blowin' harder now
Fifty knots or there abouts,
There's white caps on the ocean.
And I'm watching for water spouts
It's time to close the shutters
It's time to go inside.
Excerpt from the song: Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season
Artist: Jimmy Buffett
The shot was taken just before sunrise (6:42AM EST), as the winds were roaring pretty good, but did it ever feel nice!

Another Water Droplet Sculpture Macro. I did this one a little while ago, but for some reason I didn't post it. Maybe it just got lost.

Thank you for your viewing and comments. For some reason flickr is mapping this location as a mobile home park, it should be John Prince Park.
This is one of those 'just because' images. I had no plan at all when I picked up my camera, but these things somehow came together in front of me. The hydrangea flowers are from my garden. I've never used any of the perfume bottles (mainly because I don't wear perfume!), but I've acquired a few of them in the last couple of years and I enjoy photographing them.

I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
And the reason is you
-------------------------------------------------------
No soy una persona perfecta
Como muchas cosas que me gustaría no hacer
Pero sigo aprendiendo
Nunca quise hacerte esas cosas que usted
Y lo que tengo que decir antes de irme
Que yo sólo quiero que sepas
He encontrado una razón para mí
Para cambiar quien solía ser
Una razón para empezar de nuevo
y la razón por la que se
Lamento que te hice daño
Es algo que debo vivir todos los días
Y todo el dolor que te hice pasar
Deseo que podría tomar todo por la borda
Y ser el que atrapa todas tus lágrimas
Es por eso que necesito que oigas
Que la razón eres tu

After shooting POAY at Pine Point Rd we headed 20 miles south for our next shot. But after a little time and a check of the timetable we calculated that he must have gone in the hole at Saco (CPF 211) for Amtrak to run around.
And sure enough our supposition was confirmed as Boston bound Downeaster train 694 came into view here on the former Boston and Maine Portland Division rolling down Main 1 at modern day MP 226 (measured from Mattawamkeag, ME). For whatever reason this train didn't have the normal ex F40 NPCU in the lead and instead had this grungy quarter century old P42DC doing the honors, with a sister P42 on the east end trailing the standard five car Amfleet consist.
At right is the wood frame Wells Beach depot built in 1906 that resembles a home in its styling. I've not been able to find much info about this station whose design is seemingly unique among B&M depots. What I could find is that after 53 years of railroad use it was sold in February 1959 to Fuelane Corp. some five years before the last passenger train passed on its way from Portland, and it has remained in private hands since.
After 36 years passenger trains returned to these rails when Amtrak's Downeaster service commenced. But those trains don't stop here, instead calling at a modern intermodal transportation center behind me one mile to the west right off of Interstate 95.

The reason I have uploaded this now and not when I took it was it vanished from my hard drive, along with a few others then all of a sudden tonight reappeared! Very strange
Chillingham Castle is widely regarded as one of, if not the, most haunted places in the country. Dating back over 800 years this castle was built for one purpose and one purpose alone, killing. In the heart of Northumberland the castle was the first line of defence, preventing the Scots getting over the border to invade England back in the days of William Wallace when the castle was ruled over by King Edward I (Edward Long shanks). It has a truly amazing, yet horrific history and that's why its one of the most haunted places on Earth
For some reason, many seagulls favor this particular covered deck over all the rest that are just yards away...here, they've just flown up and will circle around just to land back on this roof...often, you can't see the roof at all when it's covered with gulls! It's this same scenario daily, all year, every year!

Niccy and I just got back from a transatlantic cruise so I've finally got some shots to post!
Early morning at the dock in Fort Lauderdale Florida. Saw the Oasis Of The Seas:
www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/oasis-of-the-seas
docked and got a shot of her.
Now if you're looking for a floating resort this is what you're looking for. So much to do onboard there's no reason for most to get off the ship!
Seeing this makes me wonder what the pirates of olden days would have thought had they seen this sailing towards them?
Musings from my diary.
For some reason, I watched the Polish singers Tulia sing Metallica’s nothing else matters on YouTube. It just popped up on my YouTube feed one day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=09NqLjHJtGQ
It didn’t turn out to be folk music, like l thought, but it was very good. But be warned that my YouTube music feed changed, and so did my You Tube news feed after watching it. I am still doing statistical analysis on the You Tube algorithm or feed l now get. And my assessment of You Tube is not that flattering.
I am debating with myself if it is a political song, as they sung it. It didn’t seem to be a political song at first, and the possibility that it is political isn’t why l liked it. It just seemed to be a unique cover, of a song l like. But on reflection it could have been sung for political reasons.
I considered that the four young ladies were doing a stone wall. A very polite, f@$k you, to everyone who had criticised Poland, recently.
Days later l am still considering what l saw, and l do it with ignorance from half a world away.
Today it seemed significant that the young polish ladies wore traditional head scarfs with flowers when they were dressed to impress their native Poles. Was it ironic that Poles were being criticised for it and yet other nations are lorded for their tribal displays? So, l wrote, and thus, I considered what l had been seeing.
It appeared to me that the way they had sung it, that it was possibly a song of rebellion, with the connotation of the flowers being vivid Polish sociological mathematics…
It looked to be in contrasted with the west. In the west they had sent their men to war in Afghanistan, for a war on terror that morphed into a war for woman’s and homosexual rights. No one had been sent to war by Poland recently, yet they were the ones being accused of idealistic nationalism.
Unlike the Polish ladies, westerner’s male and female didn’t offer a flower in the hair, but they expected religious like unquestioning self-sacrifice. They didn’t offer a Polish Catholic young lady’s flower. One that involved marriage and children, they didn’t even offer the childless sixties western variant, they offered nothing. Some expected their men to die, if need be, for a cause that they had not initially been sent to war for.
The song raised a lot of considerations for me, especially with the current populist narrative being propagated in the media about Poland. One reporter even going as far as to extrapolate that Poland was on a new religious crusade… Ironically it seemed to me that the atheist left was expecting Christians to follow the example of Christ and martyr themselves for their causes, but the Christians could not defend their own. It appeared to me, that some young Polish ladies might know how to tribally motivate their men and woman better than some of their western counterparts, who were offering nothing for some who would give the ultimate sacrifice for their efforts. Some in the west seemed to be treating their citizens of democratic nations like expendable mercenaries, slaves, or as those that should suffer intellectual sub servitude. Was it like ancient Rome? Were the polyamorists and atheists watching the metaphoric lions eat defenceless Christians, who were being deprived of any defence? Were those calling for an end to Polish democracy sitting outside the arena with no skin in the game? l considered that they were purveying an event, as if it was being called like a sporting match fit for a Roman arena, with thumbs up and thumbs down, and it seemed inhumane.
Four young Polish ladies had produced a lot of thought for a cover of a western Heavy Metal tune. The only conclusion l could come to, was it was a good cover, and unlike Metallica, Tulia couldn’t be accused of selling out.
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

My friend Alex got back from a month-long trip through europe the other week. As is our tradition, we caught up with an early breakfast.
One of the many reasons I like Alex is the fact that he doesn't hate LA. Lots of folks I meet, folks who've moved here from somewhere else, seem to have a deep-seated disdain for the city, despite the fact they've pitched their tent here for the long haul.
But not Alex. Sure, he gets that there's a lot to dislike about this town, but he's also able to see past the stereotypical view of LA, to see the fact that, like most cities, LA is different things to different people. That the city is so big, you spend enough time, you'll find more than enough to enjoy.
Which brings me back to breakfast. We try to go somewhere new most times, and in this city, that is an easy task. I was complaining with another friend about often having to play the part of tour guide to folks who come into town and want to "see the sights," and that what I usually do is just take them to all the great places to eat. That is the best part of having people visit, it's an excuse to go to Roscoe's(not that I need one), or go to one of a dozen great breakfast joints, or great sushi places, or great burger spots.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, I've got an addiction to food, and Alex is my enabler.
Would you rather I was hooked on bug powder?
Pour plusieurs raisons, la photo noir et blanc attire par son mystère, son intemporalité et sa magie. J'utilise le contraste à son plein potentiel car c'est probablement l'élément le plus important d'une photo monochrome.
For several reasons, the black and white photo attracts with its mystery, its timelessness and its magic. I use the contrast to its full potential because it is probably the most important element in a monochrome photo.
