A large flock of birds is using this deserted barn as a landing strip as they excitedly shriek about the coming changes in Minnesota on a fall morning. Growing up on the farm I never realized until I was older how I rarely felt alone. There was always some animals or birds around making noise and giving our place a sense of life. The beeping of phones, tablets and computers today are not nearly as satisfying.
I have absolutely no idea what is going on with my life.
(Months later I am just now realizing that this is eerily similar to Tool's third eye thing. Pretty cool, Tool's awesome.)
When this juvenile Snowy Owl came off the power pole, it flew away across a field, but then surprised me by doubling back and doing an overhead flyby. Realizing that little if any of its undersurface would be in direct sun, I did a quick exposure adjustment. It wasn't perfect, but close enough, with plenty of detail in the slightly underexposed RAW files.
Shooting manual rather than automatic exposure settings meant that all the exposures were identical, and therefore required identical adjustments. Easy!
I did a minor amount of upscaling with ON1 Resize to tighten the crop while retaining a hi res TIF file of 50 MB, a standard I try to maintain. When clients come calling I want them to know they will get a top quality image from me.

Taino Park was realized in 1991 on a project of the artist Giò Pomodoro, author of the sculpture "The Place of the four cardinal points" located in the center of the park. The park is a large green space in the center of the town, leaning towards Lake Maggiore and Monte Rosa, which enchants the visitor for its unique and suggestive panorama. The monument "The place of the four cardinal points" by Giò Pomodoro is a work made of white, grey and pink granite, water and iron, celebrating the summer solstice. It has at its center the tall pillar-gnomon (8.64 m from the ground level), which, precisely on the date of June 21 at noon, captures through a slot cut into it and marked in black marble on the surface, the sun's rays and projects them onto the fallen pillar, at the point indicated on a notch. On that day, the sun, which is on the north-south alignment behind the pillar, obscures the horizontal monolith with its bronze pyramidal tip with its shadow, except for a portion carved into the notch that remains lit for a short time, signaling the summer solstice.
Realized I can never win
Sometimes I feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin
My mind is laughing at me
Tell me why am I to blame
Arent we suppose to be the same
Thats why I will never change
This thing thats burning in me
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I am alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me
Sometimes I can never tell
If I got something to help the pain
Thats why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me
Tell me why am I to blame
Arent we suppose to be the same
Thats why I will never change
This thing thats burning in me
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I am alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me
Beaten
I feel so
Insane
I really
Tried
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I feel alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me
O god the angers changing me
O god the angers changïng me
🔆 What is a sovereign?
I have realized that I have my own truth within me.
I have realized that I am free from manipulation on the outside and that my inner voice is my guide.
I have realized that I am never alone because I am part of the All Being.
I have realized that I want to use my abilities to serve nature, people and animals.
I have realized that my free will has meaning.

Architecture realized by world renown Toronto born Architect Frank Gehry
Juxtaposition is synonymous with contrast and perhaps contradiction:
two objects that oppose one another, 'old' and 'new'.
Frank Gehry brought the two buildings moving in a parallel, a technique intended to stimulate creativity for this visual art center gallery / museum in Toronto.

Realized I never posted this. One of the first trains I bagged after moving to Lincoln for college, was the 627 with the area’s only non-yard SD60M on the point.
We all have two lives. The second life begins when we realize that we only have one.
Real life can be so short and also very hard... you usually only realize that when it's almost too late.
Don't waste time on unimportant people and things... instead enjoy your time with your loved ones and live your dreams. The most beautiful dreams are free and so much more beautiful.
I realize this is a similar shot to several others I have published but I found the variance in the sky and weather can give it a completely different feel. This one was one of my favorites and I have saved it for last. I love the difference between the warm tones on the left, the cooler blues on the right, and the bright appearance of the vanishing point, like a door that only needs to be reached and opened.
I realize, but I like the end result.
This is a piece that started out as a hydranga, again that I was going to use for Bokeh Wednesday, and found itself becoming something like a piece of art in my eyes. I just couldn't help playing with it until I got it to the mood I felt fit the photo and made it more dramatic at least in my eyes! I hope you like it.

I'm sorry I've posted so many tonight. As I have said in the past, when I have time to work on my photography, I like to get as much done as possible and share with all my friends. Thanks for being so understanding!
I realized just how much color is in my house. And I enjoyed it....
I am counting down the days until James and I get to sneak away to the woods...10 days, 10 days
After we realized the Bison were going to stay put we headed back to try another trail. I looked over the fence and I saw this cow who was very curious about the activity on the other side of the fence. I got quite the stare down!

(TMS) Ocean Beach Tribal Carbon/Pink
The most beautiful and detailed (TMS)Ocean Beach ever seen on Second Life.Interiors and exteriors completely redesigned.A lot of working hours were needed to make this boat and about 50 textures have been applied.
Reflections, luminosity and alpha totally revised, but you do not have to worry because to apply all this you will have to do only one simple operation:
drag a script from the inventory to over your Ocean Beach . Just a simple mouse movement and your new boat will be ready to sail in the Linden seas. ⛵⛵⛵

I realize this is a door, but "Just don't hit, push, kick, punch or otherwise hurt me anymore" is never something anyone should say. If someone is purposely hurting you, there is no "anymore." There's only get the hell out. It's not easy, and usually requires help and support, but it's essential.

Pretty sad it took a Pandemic to actually free up and clear out the Air pollution in these major cities, with Nitrogen Dioxide pollution down 30%- makes you realize of how much we the people are the actual virus to the Earth 🌍 — So in the light of these darker days just know Mother Nature is getting a well deserved break finally! - Here’s a Shot from the weekend before the Lockdown somewhere in the Southwest, this evening was pretty wild just watching the storm pass thru. - please stay safe out there!

Very often we don´t realize the heaviness of problems until they are gone.
Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.
I didn't realize I had this one more DE of the band. This might be my favourite, with the cherry tree bonsai in flower. Although maybe not, with the singer facing away. Although I love that she is wearing a lacy dress with white Converse All*Stars.
They were shooting a video or taking promo shots on the beach at Discovery Park in Seattle. I asked, but forgot their name. I found their name in my phone, Heavy Bloom! Here is a link to video they made this day. youtu.be/5G7iSDVQDTs. Beach footage beginning at :56.

I just realized that I have never showed you the guy who's hanging out with Lili in this picture! I have had him since last May but I have only introduced him on my Instagram ^__^' So...this is Bruno! He's a full custom by talented Hyrrra ♥ This picture isn't the best one to show you his details but his hand is replaced with a hook and his other leg is a prosthesis. I had to give him a new metal leg because his foot was missing when I got him. ^__^'
How has your week been guys? I would like to hear what you've been up to! ♥
It's a strange feeling realizing that you're about to jump into time. Reverent awe that this is about to be possible... fear of what you will find and where you will find yourself. I had moved the machine to the garage... just in case, and run a few quick tests. I realized one of the coils was faulty- which could have been fatal. Finally, the moment arrived and I took a deep breath. I didn't expect to return... this was a one way trip. But I was determined to see this through. I took a deep breath and jumped into the void.
Everyone,
I just realized I had not posted or visited anyone in a few days so I wanted to make a quick post to give a heads up.
I have been on a bit of travel and i JUST purchased the new Adobe CS5 and a WACOM tablet sooooooo its going to be a few days before I can post or comment.
i will TRY to get to everyone over the next few days, but definitely by the weekend.
I apologize for taking the week off, but for anyone who has made this upgrade you understand how much stuff there is to reorganize and how much there is to learn before you can get back to work.
So I will see you all VERY soon, I just wanted to give you all a big Flicka hug and let you know ill be back amongst my Best Flicka Friends (BFF) as quick as I can.
Hope you all are having a GREAT week )

Yosemite, California. I realized recently that I had never posted this shot on Flickr (only IG), so here it is. It is my favorite shot I’ve taken of this phenomenon to date. Thank you for stopping by.
For those who are interested, this piece is available to purchase. I have my work printed via Bay Photo Labs and shipped direct to customer. DM me if you are interested.
Realize friends, time’s file is a bow.
Every moment’s tooth’ed wave
Vibrates with rosined hairs
Into strings of earth.
Violin years play airs;
Each a new harmonic cave,
Rasped smooth by the new water's flow.
I realize this is not for everyone. I took it for an illustration background for a Bible study website. Inspired by John Bunyan's "A Pilgrim's Progress," a still life in subdued and subtle tones.
In the photo: two antique illuminated Bibles c. 1830's (vols. 1 and 3), two antique prayer books c. 1840's, an antique pocket New Testament c. 1840's, an iron spike from the historic Sierra Nevada Sugar Pine railroad c. 1830's, a wood walking stick, modern Bible translations and tools, a modern illuminated Bible, a ram's horn trumpet (shofar), a vase of feathers (quills) from birds around the word.
Most people don't realize that this is not just about working conditions...it's about learning conditions. The schools that have the chairs and desks that are falling apart, the lead in the water (a high number of public school drinking fountains tested), the roaches and the rats tend to be schools on the South and West sides where we have blighted neighborhoods and food deserts. Children learn very early on that there is no investment in them. Currently, our mayor would rather invest in more police in schools and in neighborhoods instead of in young human beings and that is unacceptable. This is true school to prison pipeline level of racial discrimination and it must stop!
This also filters down to abelism too. If you live in a neighboring district and you happen to have a child with a physical need, you can get top of the line equipment. In Chicago, you have to beg and beg and then you get dirty broken equipment that isn't safe that has literally been stored in a warehouse for decades. That is not OK!

I found that people in my flickr browsed from time to time to view my photos by searching for place names, which made me realize that maybe I should do some documentary photography. After all, flickr is a well-known and longest-standing photography community, and the only one I use.

I realized on day 2 of my road trip from Washington, DC to Los Angeles that I couldn't simply wander around looking for interesting stuff like I would back home. I tried to find places along the way that would be interesting and settled on Mead's Quarry in Knoxville. I figured wherever we ended up would be my only photography stop in Tennessee and wanted a chance to try shooting some reflections in the still waters. It was a good choice despite Scotch being worn out and having only a bit of light left by the time we arrived.

I realize I overshoot this train.It changed power again with this patched SSW GP60 added to the consist.With the cool power it features I will shoot it whenever I can.Seen here climbing up to 12th street yard here at Rutger Street.
I realized I haven't posted many shots from my B.C. trip in the spring of 2022. I'll post more over the next few weeks. This is Avatar Grove on Vancouver Island. I don't usually appear in the photos but the trees are so big it's good to have a person in the shot to show scale. I knew this ahead of time so I brought a red jacket ;)
I posted four today, so be sure to check out the other B.C. pics. More of my photos are at www.burntpixel.ca

I realized in working on this Macro Mondays challenge, "Slices," that I like eating food, not photographing it. My first attempt was of a sliced hard boiled egg. Hard boiled eggs don't look particularly photogenic up close. I sprinkled some paprika on it to spice it up, but it ended up looking like a crime scene. My wife asked me how it was going with the egg photograph and I replied that it tasted good. So, enter this subject.
Strobist/technical info:
This is an 8-image focus stack composite of a single Little Debbie sparkling strawberry unicorn cake. It measures one-inch wide. The cake slices were illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights placed 90° CL/CR, two-feet away and eighteen-inches above the subject, pointing down at 45°. The speedlights were fired through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes in Manual mode @ 1⁄8 power.
The SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X's.

BNSF 8222 is leading BNSF 9250 on the front of a MERC coal empty in Carlton, MN.
Hard to look at this shot 13 years later and realize it was a disappointment at the time. No, not because the dual-window SD60M wasn't the leader but rather that in my 4 years of living in the northern plains that this was my only shot of a train around the Twin Ports area. We made this trip to do tourist'y stuff and that didn't include railfanning. I shot this on our way to hike in Jay Cooke State Park, which was beautiful, by the way.
But I thought I had missed my opportunity to shoot DMIR maroon as we moved away a little more than a year later. But, redemption was at hand three and a half years later as I had the chance to go to Duluth on a business trip for a week or so, so I made sure to take advantage of that opportunity so I shot a decent amount of standard cab goodness while I was there, including one of the last two remaining DMIR units.
Having that regret from 2007 washed away and considering the subject matter here, it's hard to sneeze at a clean Warbonnet and a dual-window SD60M!
I just realized that my rogueverse Aquaman used dark green legs, so I decided to give him the justice league movie ones for more detail.
Background: Growing up in Atlantis, he never really knew about the outside world. He was Prince of Atlantis. He would hear stories about these surface dwellers, that reside above the water on land. He thought it was preposterous, but was intrigued by the concept nonetheless. A day came that he would never forget. It was upon graduating the Atlantis equivalent of high school, where he would meet Mera of Xebel. Instantly drawn to her, he would try to impress her with his abilities. Of course, with all Atlanteans having the same abilities, it didn't really leave an impression. But Orin would keep trying, until eventually, Mera would agree to go out with him. This would lead to the discovery of the world outside of Atlantis. They began exploring the world. Serving the interests of only Atlantis, they would just watch as others suffered, as they kept exploring. Mera later felt guilty of what happened, and would convince Orin to become heroes of sorts. Their love for the surface world would grow the more time they spent in it. Representing Atlantis, he would then join the Justice League.
There's nothing more satisfying than realizing an idea. The idea came for this shot several years ago when I first visited this sea cave on the South West coast of Vancouver Island.
Upon entering the cave, my first thought was ''I bet the Milky Way passes through that opening in the summer''.
I knew I wanted to capture that shot but wouldn't it be so much cooler if I could place a stargazer in that shot?
I filed it away in memory and years later I got the opportunity to turn the idea into reality with Amanda.
When we ventured into the sea cave at Mystic Beach with this shot in mind, I wasn't entirely sure that the stars would align.
The chances of getting clear skies on the last day of September with zero wind... well, we got very lucky.
I put this image together using several exposures that were shot over a 30 minute period and obviously had to focus stack my model Amanda and then blend that exposure with the background.
As soon as I saw those first exposures on the back of the camera I knew I'd nailed it. Amanda was able to keep perfectly still during those long exposures while I did some light painting using just a headlamp.
It was the perfect end to the perfect day. One that I'll cherish for the rest of my life.
Thanks for looking

I realized that I hadn't eaten in a while. My complicated mood has reached such a level that I forget what I have to do. I realized that I hadn't eaten for a while, as soon as I got up from where I was sitting, as a result of my dizziness and falling to the ground. When I measured my blood pressure and blood values as soon as I came to myself, I realized that I had not eaten anything for a long time. My psychological state had almost destroyed my sense of hunger. While I should have measured my biological values twice a day, I realized that I had not done these for a while. Since there is no one inside my spaceship to warn me but myself, the probability of this situation happening again is quite high. There is nothing here to remind me of me, except the computer that gives a warning when I forget to measure my biological values. Just because I turned off the computer's warning system a while ago doesn't mean I don't care about myself. Rather, it was something I did to get away from living like a robot. It was just one of my attempts to feel human again. Turning off the computer's warning system also helped. I took myself out of the routine and let myself go with the flow of life. This made me a little bit happy. I guess the routines I had to follow on this space journey made me live like a robot. But I was not a robot. I was a human. And I had feelings. These were the emotions I had to experience. I think it's been quite a long journey for a human, this space travel. It was a journey long enough to make a person get lost in his mind. This is a more complex disappearance than being lost in the depths of space. I still have not deviated from my course in this space journey that causes journeys to the past in the depths of the mind. I don't want to go back to planet earth before I find the Plutonians. Maybe I'll never find the plutonians. Maybe I'm looking for a civilization that has disappeared. In this case, this search could take forever. I think it has turned into a commitment for me. I consider myself part of the plutonian civilization. But on the other hand, my belonging to planet Earth, that is to my home, forces me to return home. I am going through a very difficult time. There are dozens of questions running through my mind. All I do is sleep and daydream when I have to find answers to each question. It's the only way for me to escape reality. Because, as soon as I answer the questions in my mind, I know that I will change the course of my spacecraft to planet earth and put an end to this space travel. That's why I need to avoid the questions that occupy my mind. This situation adversely affects my biological health. I don't forget to eat is only one of them. I still don't know what to do. I think it would be best if I put a stop to this post here for something to eat. See you in the next post. Take care of your soul...

I realized that my description of all the rain that the Trans Pecos has been receiving (and they should be getting rain again today) may have left a mistaken impression. This area is, after all, in a desert. Even with the rain, there will always be opportunities to get out and explore.
Big Bend is famous for the sunset views from The Window in the Basin of the Chisos Mountains and it is certainly a nice view. Sotol Vista Overlook, however, is my favorite. It consistently delivers gorgeous sunsets and it also will give you something that the Window view can not - solitude.
I had this view all to myself if you don't count the quail and the doves that become active during the magic hour surrounding sunset.
I almost always spend an hour or more here because it is so magical. Of course, it is a visual feast but it is also a banquet for all of the senses. The temperature drops with the suns descent and just as the sun disappears, the winds stop for a short lull and then a gentle evening breeze returns. The quail move through the sotols and grasses, calling to each other to gather the covey for the night. Doves also fly by, following the contours of the mountains to find their roosts in the cottonwoods circling the springs in the valleys. In the fall, the sotols bloom stalks wave in the breeze like an army of spears.
Silence is total until the delicate sounds of nature awaken in the glow of the setting sun. Or, perhaps it is just me that is refreshed by the setting sun and my hearing is gradually attuned to the sounds of the transition from day into night.
I treasure these moments and am glad I can share them with you.
