Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
2020 has taught us to persevere through challenges. There's a lot of bad stuff, but each of us are heroes to someone in our life who needs a bit of love, encouragement, or a helping hand. Too bad it takes death to remind us to be better.
RIP Chadwick Boseman

This is the companion to "Imponded sun" as the portrait. I shot this later and just kept the flair of the sun outside the frame so that the the vegetation and underwater mosses could retain their saturations but without humping them in Photoshop which seems to be a pastime on Flickr. Warning, if you want to shoot shots like this with the lens pointed directly at the sun, it is crucial that you polish all bits of dust from the front surface of the lens. I stopped to do just that here, knowing it could be trouble if I didn't, even with this spectacular 24-70mm zoom lens. Note that this specially coated lens is not even a three times zoom, not a 12-16 times zoom. It might be a plan to crank on a much superior single focal length lens instead of that super zoom that packs loads of lens flare. Lately, I am struck by how many posts are put up on Flickr that do not even observe decent exposures. I thought that was rule one? Are these folks overcompensating for flaring skies they can't control because it is outside the range of lens capability I am thoroughly happy with the tones I retained.
On this day of nice skies and water, I came back to this spot I've used before with the intention of expanding my catalog. My previous take was one of my favorites. I am still fighting to slow this autumn's slipping away and I made another loop of the path but there was little breeze and there were only a few ripples on the water that ushered in the fine sky and foliage colors. I got a couple of shots of the foliage in the distance but it is deteriorating. I guess this reflection scene just grabbed me emotionally for some reason. Watch out for this if you are fishing in a belly boat and decide to come in to shore here! Later, I decided to recapture earlier shots. Replacing my productive rippled water scenes were skies with some mixed clouds, water and fading foliage. December is almost here.
I am out here at Golden Ponds, the Longmont, Boulder County, Colorado greenbelt and rec area and fortunately, the turn-off is only a half-dozen blocks down Hover St. I wanted to look for possible locations even though the sky has been the pits lately. I wandered the green space and took some detail shots that were available, Drying cattails surrounded the ponds. The bold sky is gone, the rippling water gone, the bold clouds gone, my favorite cottonwood, brown and most cattails seeding the next year's supply. I shot few pictures and kept the sky out of the frame but it's presence shows in the water. The colorful autumn foliage is falling around the ponds and under the water. I love shooting stark scenes with this camera and lens. I have not used any of my old Nikkors even though I programmed them into the computer.
All Saints, Landbeach, Cambridgeshire
Cambridge's largest industrial employer in the first half of the 20th Century was Pye Radio, manufacturer of radio sets in their factories on Coldhams Lane and Newmarket Road. Later on as Pye TVT and Pye Telecom, with a vast new factory on the Chesterton side of the river, they made televisions, TV studio equipment and communications systems, for which they retained their old logo. My father was apprenticed to Pye TVT in 1953, and worked for them for twenty years.
Recently, I came across this Art Deco lettering on a 1930s grave marker at Landbeach, a small village on the northern outskirts of the city. I did wonder if this RIP had been inspired by Pye's famous logo.
Edit: a few weeks later I spotted another of these a few miles off at Boxworth.
And so to Landbeach. I cycled out of dismal Milton, with its 'light industrial units' and its kebab shops and Tesco superstore, and for the first time today I saw fields as I set out along the fen edge. This area is the landscape of my childhood. We lived in north-east Cambridge, but my grandparents lived in Ely, so I would be put on the bus from the age of seven or so to go and visit and stay with them. It was an Eastern Counties 109 service as I recall, and it clambered through the villages of Milton, Landbeach and Waterbeach before heading out into the Fens.
Landbeach is a quiet little village surrounded by flat fields, and I remembered its church vividly from childhood as it has a stone spire, the top quarter of which was missing. It was replaced some time in the 1980s. The tower and spire are so similar to those of St Andrew Chesterton back in the city that they must be by the same architect. This is a good church, full of interest, although at first sight it does not excite and does not give up its treasures easily. But there are brasses, and memorials, lots of medieval glass and some old woodwork. The church is open every day, and well worth a visit. On this misty autumn day it was like being in northern France, the high spired church with its clustered village, and the sprawling flat beet fields all around.
As a small child I would sit on the bus as it headed through this landscape, an interested child, not easily bored, alternately reading my comic and staring out at the view until after about an hour we reached busy Market Street in Ely, where I would get off and walk to my grandparents house in Chief's Street, some ten minutes away.
Loved his music. A tragic loss at such a young age. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSRyCMExqk4
