Berlin is great for a lot of reasons but one of them is the excellent public transport system. They have an S-Bahn, a U-Bahn, normal trains, these electric trams, and buses. I probably missed a couple in there but suffice to say it's an easy place for a dumb tourist like myself to get around. It says a lot for a city when they get something as essential as transportation sorted out like they have in Berlin.
I immediately liked this composition when I came across it, with those 3 trams staring down the tracks at me and the bicycle stranded and looking slightly threatened at the corner of the frame.

all majestic and beautiful except in the case if this kiss of the clouds and the eath is headding your direction ...
When you stand next to such an big old steam engine you truly can feel its power. I mean they are way less efficient then modern electrical high speed engines are… But for some reason they still have that magic feeling… Very impressive!
We see many black birds here so it stands to reason they would also be in our Gardens.
I think you are right Elis, he is a crow.
I liked this tree for some reason, in the grounds of the ruins of the Female Factory in Ross, Tasmania.
The Netflix drama “13 Reasons Why” is filmed, in part, down the road a couple of miles where I used to live - in the city of Vallejo, California.
As the signs in the window indicate, this is a film set and it is a “FAKE PHARMACY.” There is a real pharmacy close by on the same street in an equally charming old building – causing no end of confusion for residents and visitors alike. I guess someone hoped some signage would help.
Well, the other reason I got a little shiver as I looked down over Dunraven Bay in Wales was not just because Paul was standing next to me, but because Mr Bob Dylan had walked this same path.
In 1987, this area was used as a location for the filming of Hearts of Fire, a film widely criticized for the story line and acting.Of course I saw it at the movies. I don't remember too much apart from Dylan just being Dylan with his glorious 1980s look, big hair, eyeliner, puffy shirts and earings. I remember enjoying Molly's voice. I just listened to some of the sound track and realised I knew some of the words so I must have listened to it abit at the time.
Further below from where I took yesterdays upload, there is al small cove and seats where one of the scene's was filmed. I couldn't make it any further so Paul went down and took this photo for me!
Here it is. Just abit of fan-girling. Why not?
As some may have noticed my appearance here has dwindled slightly main reason being we are planning and preparing a new life up in Northern Germany.
So we were Flat hunting last week during a small summer break, and getting to know what eventually will be our new life and surroundings.
I have found a couple of amazing woodlands too, so things are looking up.
And as its much flatter than here in Hessen, I get to see the sunrises and sunsets which will be a new turning point in my Photography also.
This was taken on an evening stroll from our holiday home near our future home Neumünster.
(so much better in large size..)
I'm not a perfect person
There's 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 out 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
I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is You
I've found out a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
Been watching 13 Reasons Why and I had to recreate this scene of my fave Alex Standall.

I read a little less this year than usual. I found when my dad passed this summer, I became quickly wrapped up in the funeral and all of the things you have to take care of and then it took awhile to build up my concentration again. I only read 140 books this year, which is far lower than my usual amount of over 200. One year, I read 365 books! So, I slacked off this year. I found myself lingering along different pages and chapters more so than ever. Here are some of my favorite books that I read. They didn’t all come out this year but time is an illusion anyway.
I'd love to hear about all of your favorite reads from this year or other years!
Photo above is a multiple exposure from Iceland..a reading/study room with a landscape photo in honor of my favorite read of the year.
1. Rooms for Vanishing by Stuart Nadler
A real wonder of a book about different possibilities, split timelines, divergent futures confronting the personal horrors of WWII in one of the most creative and thought provoking ways I’ve ever seen. I read several chapters again and again and felt like this was one of the most philosophical and creative books Ive ever read!
2. The Membranes by Chi Ta-wei
Extremely ahead of its time and published originally 30 years ago and translated into English fairly recently. This is a glimpse of a future world which many facets have proved to be fairly accurate predictions but it is also about queer identity and is written sort of like a gay Taiwanese young William Gibson might write it. Wholly original!
3. Is a River Alive? by Robert McFarlane
Yes, a river is very much alive! This is a wondrous work of nonfiction that really explores some diverse and hard to reach areas of nature and its effect on both the nearby inhabitants and the visitors like this author. I loved its sense of environmental advocacy and questioning why we would allot personhood to corporations but not bodies of water, for instance. You really feel like you go on a psychological journey with the author and learn so much between the rivers he explores and the people he meets.
Thanks to my friend Bob for this recommendation!
4. Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich
There was a period of my life where I just didn’t quite get Erdrich for some reason…it just didn’t click…but now, I am reading at least a couple of books a year by her. This is really a striking book about desperate women who have lost all body autonomy. Her books are always well written and engaging but this one felt more fast paced and thrilling than the others in style and topic.
5. House of Day, House of Night: by Olga Tokarczuk
I really love how Tokarczuk writes about dreams and mushrooms in this one especially. There is quite a bit about religion as well as physical gender identity within that religious space and a really interesting sense of the people who live in Poland in a border town with Germany and remnants of WWII even. She just has a really poetic way of writing.
6. The Measure by Nikki Erlick
I read this on recommendation from my sister in law in one sitting on the plane to Los Angeles. It is one of the most engaging book I have ever read and a speculative fiction masterpiece exploring the psychology behind lifespan and how society might change if everyone over 21 was sent a single string of a certain length that told them how much longer they would live….but not how they would die. Fascinating storyline and very well executed…I kept wondering how I would handle this situation myself. Another book that made me cry this year…I guess I am a bit of a mess! Apparently, this was an “instant” NYT Bestseller back in 2022 but I hadn’t heard of it until my sister in law mentioned it…I guess I just don’t pay attention to popular culture.
7. Archipelago of the Sun by Yoko Tawada
This is the third book of the trilogy of friends where Tawada explores language and identity within the context of our current world and its insistence on borders and a national identity that not all have and definitely not all share the same level of privilege. These friends are so diverse and interesting and also one of the characters and their transitioning identity is also explored so it is rather complex but also very thought provoking and meditative the way she writes…you just want to linger on certain sentences again and again.
8. Tell Me Everything by Erika Krouse
I read three books by Erika Krouse and loved all three-this one is nonfiction and is about all of the horrific ways a football team takes advantage of, persecutes, and threatens women and how deep the cover up goes. Krouse is helping the investigator while also going through the horrors of her past and personal identity. I was honestly not expecting to find this book as engaging as I did but Krouse is an exceptional author whose short stories Save Me, Stranger have stuck with me for many months and who also writes vivid characters in fiction books (see Contenders). Highly recommended!!
9. The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and his Mother) by Rabih Alameddine
If you ever have the chance to see Rabih Alameddine speak, DO IT! I saw him a few years back after Trump was office the first time around and he spoke about how art including writing is in and of itself an act of resistance. This book is both tragic and funny. There’s an image of our protagonist hero escaping a bunker during a civil war in Lebanon that actually had me laughing so hard I’m surprised I could stop. But, this is also a portrait study of a city and how it changed when the fighting began and equally an exploration of a mother and her gay son as they navigate through their relationship across decades. This is technically fiction but reads at times like an autobiography and, after all, it is a true true story.
10. The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami
This book scared the crap out of me and if it had been published when she first had started working on it, it would have been even more terrifying. The premise reads like a Black Mirror story where there are corporations who own and monitor your dreams and might even insert products into them. You can also be suspect based on your dreams but people give up their dreams in desperate situations just to fall asleep….very riveting and terrifying!
11. Poets Square Cats by Courtney Gustafson
I’ve been following this author’s cat rescue in Tucson, Arizona for a few years now but only had part of the story before I read this book. This is the autobiographical back story of the author and cat rescuer herself and the ways in which becoming a full time cat rescuer changed her and perhaps made her more human or at least helped her focus her values and what being alive truly means to her. She is doing very good work and it is important to support this work. This book also gives the back story behind so many important characters, many of whom don’t seem quite so feral when you see their true feline selves in her way. A book to be treasured!
12. Sunbirth by An Yu
I loved her speculative novel Ghost Music and this new one is even more bizarre and has an apocalyptic angle about the sun slowly disappearing and people in this town being enveloped by and exploding with light. None of the characters know what it is like in other cities and towns and some try to escape but, after all, the sun is something we all share so you wonder how it could be different when it is the same major problem occurring. I loved these astounding characters and the sense of imagination here.
13. ACLU The Fight of the Century: Edited by Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman
Never has there been a more important time to stand up for human rights and also understand the history of human rights. I loved some of the authors responding to historical cases that are organized chronologically. Yea Gyasi Viet Thanh Nguyen, Elizabeth Strout, Salman Rushdie, Aleksander Hemon, Brit Bennett, Li Yiyun, Rabih Alameddine, Louise Erdrich, and Anthony Doerr amongst main more give us glimpses into their own personal history and how these cases may have impacted them. Some of these chapters are also critical of the ACLU’s stance too in some aspects in a healthy way as in the case of campaign funding, for example. Regardless, it’s an organization under great threat in America whose continued existence is vital.
14. Bad Bad Girl by Gish Jen
This is partly a memoir of the author but also an exploration of her mother’s past and her ancestry from back in Shanghai. It explores the horrors of the history they lived through while her mother escaped to America but it’s also an engaging imaginary conversation Gish Jen has with her mother who suffered sexism in her own life and treats her daughter as if she should also be quiet and easy and not have so many opinions. But Gish Jen is a phenomenal author of so many great fictional stories exploring culture and identity and she will always be a Good Bad Girl that we should be grateful for. Thank goodness for the women who don’t succumb to societal and family pressures put on us.
15. My Beloved Monster: Masha, the Half-Wild Rescue Cat Who Rescued Me by Caleb Carr
An extraordinary nonfiction work that really had me on the edge of my seat several times and crying at others. This is a story of a human who Is battling a personal history with physical abuse and has gone through several surgeries that have been only minimally successful. He is an acclaimed author (I haven’t read any of his other books) and lives alone when he decides to adopt a cat later on in life. I just love how he explores his relationship with his cat and the cat’s personality and sense of adventure. This is actually a story about two wandering souls who find each other and meet in the middle and I do believe that they have found each other again in the ether of the afterlife.
16. Generosity by Richard Powers
I read four different books by Powers this year. If you haven’t read his work, it’s quite masterful! He is one of those authors that has great ideas and can truly craft a complex storyline and bring it all back home in an impressive way. This one is interesting because it focuses on an immigrant who by all accounts should be miserable…she has very little and her parents have been murdered and her brother imprisoned. At one point, she is even sexually molested. Still, throughout all of this, our protagonist, Thassadit Amzwar. remains happy and joyful in a way that others just can’t quite seem to manage or understand. As one might imagine, people try to diagnose her as if something is wrong with her and study her DNA…things go so haywire because other humans literally just can’t imagine how this human could be this happy when the rest of us are so depressed.
17. Bewilderment by Richard Powers
This book really got to me in so many ways…it’s so much about the relationship between a father and a son who is neurodivergent and tests him in so many ways but it is also about biofeedback, flexible thinking, and consciousness after death. It is filled with wonder and sorrow both and really explores the complexity of human consciousness.
18. Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck
I read quite a few nonfiction books this year related to flexible thinkers, nature, human consciousness existing after death, and octopuses but this one really resonated with me in the sense that it helped me immediately to manage my anxiety and is highly recommended to any artists. There are people in this world who consume art and those who create art and those who do both. I am probably in the latter category because I create art but also really love being part of an international community like Flickr and don’t really enjoy participating in other social media type of sites that seem to focus more on making oneself look cool or rich or just a made up version of a human.
This nonfiction is about how creativity can cancel out the heightened anxiety that threatens to overwhelm us every day. If you start to feel the heightened sensation taking over like you can’t even breathe except to scream, maybe this book is for you. Also, just sitting down and doing art for hours is indeed a luxury and makes it hard to go back to the “real world” of capitalism, etc. but sometimes this is exactly what self care is needed
19. A Love Story From the End of the World by Juhea Kim
I loved the wild weirdness and environmental focus of these short stories set all across the world in this time of climate chaos and political upheaval. Kim is an author and activist with a truly creative spirit!
20. After by Bruce Greyson M.D.
After what happened this summer with my dad passing, I read a ton of nonfiction regarding human consciousness continuing and this one really goes through quite a variety of Near Death Experiences and how it also ends up changing people. It’s a really fascinating look into human consciousness and how it continues from a medical expert. I am fascinated by these human stories and really enjoy the perspective of someone from a background in Science. I do believe that, when the body dies, the consciousness and soul of the spirit does continue and that most of us have already lived multiple lives at this point.

Am 20. Januar 2024 kam beim REX 1510 von Salzburg nach Wörgl statt des planmäßig vorgesehenen Triebzugs der Baureihe 4024 die 1144.111 mit einem CityShuttle Wendezug zum Einsatz. Hintergrund war vermutlich das Hahnenkamm Rennen, für das die Talente in Mehrfachtraktion fuhren und somit nur eingeschränkt zur Verfügung standen. Aus Fotografen-Sicht war das natürlich willkommen und ich betätigte bei Brixen im Thale erfreut den Auslöser, als der klassische Nahverkehrszug meinen Standpunkt bei besten Wetterverhältnissen passierte.
On January 20, 2024, REX 1510 from Salzburg to Wörgl 1144.111 with a CityShuttle push-pull train was used instead of the scheduled class 4024 multiple unit. The reason for this was presumably the Hahnenkamm Race, for which the Talent trainsets ran in multiple traction and were therefore only available to a limited extent. From a photographer's point of view, this was of course welcome and I was delighted to press the shutter release at Brixen im Thale when the classic local train passed my position in the best weather conditions.
The prime reason I turned away from B&W photography was Saul Leiter. The way he used color beyond visual content was a revelation for me.
So when I saw this fine man in his gold parka I was set to shoot. Little did I expect a wonderful red sedan would make my shot.
Color - beautiful, delicious color.
Orpiment mineral is a bright yellow color with a golden glow. Its resemblance to gold was a constant tantalization to the ancient and medieval painters.
Alizarin is a red dye found in the roots of the madder plant and the powdered roots are used directly in textile dyeing process.

“Inside the eggshell of her mind,
she could live without being unkind.
We may wonder about her,
but there is nothing left to know.
Already home,
she had no reason to leave.
She had the impulse to fly.
She had no reason to live.
Tangled, her dress,
as she fell down the face
of the building like a tear.
Don’t you get tired
of asking your fear
what the sound was
that her bones made,
on yielding to the still ground.
She had a reason to dream.
She had the impulse to fly.
Already home.”

For some reason, I've always believed when you see a cardinal it's good luck. Today was the day. I've waited years to get a good cardinal shot. They are quick as lightning and I could never get close enough. But since I was inside, shooting thru a window, this guy was not scared off and gave me a great pose. When I saw this in the camera, I was so happy, I did the monkey dance. LOL! I captured his mate too!

This was the reason I went to Iceland; to see an active volcano. For the two weeks prior to the trip, I would watch the live cameras on YouTube and hope the action would continue. The average eruption only lasts a month and I would be arriving right at the one month mark. Seven days prior to my visit, there were eight active vents. Just a few days prior, all the vents on the north side had stopped. Today the volcano is down to one vent, so I feel quite lucky to have still had four active vents to witness, three of which are spewing lava in this frame. This was taken around dusk.

For whatever reason the good storms have been avoiding the Tucson area this year, depriving me of the opportunity to get good lightning shots!
This is about the best that I've got so far, the storm was about 14-15 miles east of us. Really lighting up but the lightning was pretty much all cloud to cloud. With any luck and a sacrifice to the weather gods I'll hopefully be able to come up with something a bit better!
BTW, the light spots up above the clouds are not hot pixels but stars!

Stadsgraanzuiger No19 Getreideheber Infos*
Der Weltweit einzige noch Existierende Dampf-Getreideheber.
Das Prinzip ist einfach und doch unvorstellbar, und funktioniert wie ein Staubsauger.
Das MAS (MUSEUM AM STROM) und das Maritime Museum Rotterdam haben für dieses besondere Schiff eine Art Plan für ein geteiltes Sorgerecht erarbeitet.
Der Getreideheber steht unter gemeinsamer Mittelverwaltung und legt eine Hälfte der Zeit in Antwerpen und die andere Hälfte in Rotterdam an.
Aber, nach einer 92-jährigen Karriere fängt selbst so eine großartige Maschine wie der Getreideheber an, einige Schwächen zu zeigen.
Sowohl der Ponton, der Turm als auch die Elektronik müssen restauriert werden, um das Ganze dauerhaft und für die Zukunft funktionsfähig zu halten.
Deswegen wird der Getreideheber voraussichtlich zwei Jahre in Rotterdam bleiben, bevor er wieder nach Antwerpen kommt.

Grain lifter 19 Infos*
The principle is simple yet unimaginable, and works like a vacuum cleaner.
The World's only surviving steam grain lifter.
The MAS (MUSEUM AM STROM) and the Maritime Museum Rotterdam have developed a kind of plan for shared custody for this particular ship.
The cereal lifter is under joint management and spends half of its time in Antwerp and the other half in Rotterdam.
But, after a 92-year career, even such a great machine as the grain lifter is starting to show some weaknesses.
Both the pontoon, the tower and the electronics need to be restored to keep the whole thing permanent and functional for the future.
For this reason, the grain lifter is expected to stay in Rotterdam for two years before coming back to Antwerp.

Garden roses are predominantly hybrid roses that are grown as ornamental plants in private or public gardens. They are one of the most popular and widely cultivated groups of flowering plants, especially in temperate climates. An enormous number of garden cultivars have been produced, especially over the last two centuries, though roses have been known in the garden for millennia beforehand. While most garden roses are grown for their flowers, often in dedicated rose gardens, some are also valued for other reasons, such as having ornamental fruit, providing ground cover, or for hedging. Roses are one of the most popular garden shrubs in the world with both indoor and outdoor appeal. They possess a number of general features that cause growers and gardeners to choose roses for their gardens. This includes the wide range of colours they are available in; the generally large size of flower, larger than most flowers in temperate regions; the variety of size and shape; the wide variety of species and cultivars that freely hybridize.

Tuinrozen zijn overwegend hybride rozen die als sierplant in particuliere of openbare tuinen worden gekweekt. Ze zijn een van de meest populaire en meest gekweekte groepen bloeiende planten, vooral in gematigde klimaten. Er is een enorm aantal tuincultivars geproduceerd, vooral in de afgelopen twee eeuwen, hoewel rozen al duizenden jaren eerder in de tuin bekend waren. Hoewel de meeste tuinrozen worden gekweekt voor hun bloemen, vaak in speciale rozentuinen, worden sommige ook om andere redenen gewaardeerd, zoals het hebben van sierfruit, het verstrekken van bodembedekkers of voor afdekking. Rozen zijn een van de meest populaire tuinheesters ter wereld met zowel binnen als buiten aantrekkingskracht. Ze hebben een aantal algemene kenmerken die kwekers en tuinders ertoe brengen om rozen voor hun tuinen te kiezen. Dit omvat het brede scala aan kleuren waarin ze verkrijgbaar zijn; de over het algemeen grote bloemgrootte, groter dan de meeste bloemen in gematigde streken; de verscheidenheid aan grootte en vorm; de grote verscheidenheid aan soorten en cultivars die vrijelijk hybridiseren.
Gartenrosen sind überwiegend Hybridrosen, die als Zierpflanzen in privaten oder öffentlichen Gärten angebaut werden. Sie sind eine der beliebtesten und am weitesten verbreiteten Gruppen von Blütenpflanzen, insbesondere in gemäßigten Klimazonen.

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind.
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.
“The reason some portraits don't look true to life is that some people make no effort to resemble their pictures.”

Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda, Vallespir, Occitanie, France.
Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda es una localidad y comuna francesa situada en el departamento de Pirineos Orientales y la región de Occitania, en la comarca del Vallespir. Tenía 3.683 habitantes en 2007.
Administrativamente, pertenece al distrito de Céret, al cantón de Arles-sur-Tech y a la Communauté de communes du Haut Vallespir.
La comuna se localiza en el valle del Tech, en el corazón del Vallespir, al oeste de Céret. Puede accederse a ella por la carretera departamental 115. Antes de ser desmantelada en el siglo XX, también contaba con servicios de ferrocarril. Está prevista una vía verde que siga el recorrido de la antigua vía férrea (hasta Arles-sur-Tech).
En realidad, Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda se compone de tres municipios antaño separados: Amélie, Palalda (anexado en 1942) y Montalba (anexado en 1962). Por ello, el paisaje comunal es bastante variado. La mayoría de la población se concentra a orillas del Tech. Cabe destacar la formación geológica de las las gargantas del Mondony.

The commune is located in the Tech Valley, in the heart of the Vallespir, west of Céret. It can be accessed by departmental highway 115. Before being dismantled in the 20th century, it also had railway services. A greenway is planned to follow the route of the old railway (up to Arles-sur-Tech).
In reality, Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda is made up of three once separate municipalities: Amélie, Palalda (annexed in 1942) and Montalba (annexed in 1962). For this reason, the communal landscape is quite varied. Most of the population is concentrated on the banks of the Tech. It is worth noting the geological formation of the Mondony gorges.
