For some reasons I cannot really explain, I never finished to edit my photos made in Senja in summer 2018, during a workshop. I get back to them from time to time and it is always a pleasure to rediscover one of them, and edit it as a cherished memory (Norway, Senja Island, Aug. 2018)

This location was one of the main reasons that I went to New Zealand this time. I have wanted to shoot here for a long time and I loved being here. You may recognise the seastacks from the famous image taken inside one of the caves as you open Windows 10.
Its location is very remote being near Puponga right at the very top of the south Island. There is only one way in and out and that's through what they call the Takaka Hill - well its certainly not a hill and I had to drive it through rain and fog and I have to say it was rather sketchy and I was very glad that it finally came to an end. When you google it, it tells you that its very dangerous and I can now see why.
To get to this beach its about a 20 minute walk from the carpark through a gorgeous farm scattered with sheep and 4 steeples that you have to cross over.
Once I got to the beach the view took my breath away. All the effort to get here was worth it. There are caves, sea stacks called the Archway Islands and there are even seals swimming and sunbaking! what a location. I also timed it perfectly with the tide to get great reflections too.

The reason he looks a little sad was that his girlfriend stood him up. He was chasing her all over the place, and then another buck appeared and he chased it off. When he went back his girlfriend was gone. I don't know how she could turn down a beautiful buck like this.
Wishing all of my flickr friends all the Best!

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.
For some unknown reason, my cats are keeping still to be photographed. I suppose they're getting used to the camera being pointed at them
Detail from the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, a large memorial site covered with 2711 concrete slabs.
For some reason, seagulls like to gather in a local strip mall parking lot, even though there's no water nearby.
They were all mulling around and then by some mysterious group think mechanism, in a flurry they all assembled in what I guess was a meeting.
A moment or two later, they took their places.
They didn't do anything, just stood there.
I couldn't figure out what was the point of the game.
I turned to go back to my car and there was one big gull standing on the roof. Just standing there.
So I figured well when I get up to my car it will surely fly away.
It did not.
So then I thought well I'll open and slam the door loudly and it will surely fly away.
SLAM!
Nothing.
So I thought I'll speak to it and tell it to go. So I did. I said SHOO with a voice of authority.
Didn't budge.
One more time in my most commanding voice.
It turned its back on me.
Finally I said look, I'm leaving, driving home and I don't expect you to be on the roof when I get there.
I did.
It wasn't.
Maybe what they do in the parking lot game is practice standing and not leaving.
Hope you had a nice Sunday.
In a narrow calle workers had dug up many of the stones to have access to services under them. For some reason Venetian paving stones are flat only on one side. Perhaps that helps prevent them from moving when there is flooding ?
Wishing everyone a blessed Christmas and a peaceful New Year! Jesus is the reason for the season ....
This is actually one of a pair of fun ear-rings!
Putting "Ranch" or "Western" into a business name seems popular around these parts.
For god knows what reason, they covered this sign with plywood, so unless it falls down, you won't see it anymore.
When you see what this sign looked like fully working, it makes you sad.

The reason why the Forest Elephants visit Dzanga Bai is beacuse it is rich in salt and minerals. They spend much of the day filtering the bottom of the stream and ponds to take in the minerals.
Went out walking with my daughter yesterday and she kept singing this song and now I can't get the damn thing out of my head today so I thought I'd share....and now, just maybe, it will be stuck in your head all day as well...bahaha
Listening to...BIG AND CHUNKY
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...

i love something corporate, and their final album ever just came out, even though it's just their greatest hits. ): i've been waiting for this since fourth grade.
i'm getting really sick of these plants and flowers and such, sorry for the lack of variety but i expect some wonderful pictures tonight because i'm going to a sleepover. (:
if anyone has any suggestions on things i could do better in my shots, please don't be hasty and just tell me. i'm in complete need of growth.
by the way, hello. (: there was almost a tornado on tuesday. i was crying really hard because the funnel was right above the track we were running on for our meet and my mom was there but i lost her, only to find after a good 30 minutes of crying very hard that she went home before anything even happened.
whatta week. :D
+2 in comments! (when i get home from school at least :p)
“Childhood is the sleep of reason.”
(Jean-Jacques Rousseau - French philosopher, 1712-1778)
It was too hot that day in Varanasi (Benaras) and I left the ghats along the Ganges where there was no air.
As I was walking into a narrow street of Kashi, the oldest part of the city, I saw some amazing tiles on a wall with images of several Gods that I started to take in pictures.
Suddenly I heard a voice calling me from the upper levels of the building:
“Hey uncle, take my picture!”
And this young boy was waving at me, I took several shots and he started to bend over the window trying to give me the best smile.
His mother came in time shouting that if he was jumping I would have a better picture.
We all burst laughing, it was a happy moment and it is now a sweet memory captured with my camera.

For some reason, the folks over at Pitt Meadows IMS have been sending TOFCs in the dozens on the Calgary Blocks on trains 112 and 100. Honestly, I think they're doing it to move truck chassis more efficiently but either way, its really cool. This particular 112 had about 15 of them and the AC4400CW pair was a nice touch too.
2038 was the power car on the rear of Amtrak Acela 2251. The train stops briefly at Back Bay, minutes out of Boston's South Station, where Amtrak does a brisk business. While Back Bay station is mostly subterranean, the east end of the platform area does open up slightly, allowing for a view of the adjacent "skyline". This is the reason Acela exists...fast intercity service direct to downtown locations.

Back in the 1960's the talks of a merger between Ford and Ferrari were taking place, but in the end the merger never materialized. Ford wanted a race car for events like Lemans and others, and a merger between they and Ferrari would have made that path much shorter, and easier to come by. When it became apparent that all bets were off between the two, and maybe for reasons attributed to nothing more than egos, it then was as though Ford, now more than ever, wanted to build a car and one directly targeted at Ferrari, and the story of the GT40 began. And, at the beginning, the story wasn't a smooth one. With only months to design, build, and test a car before the car's first planned race was going to be a monumental task! But Ford put a great team together to take on the challenge and they did meet that deadline. All were very enthusiastic, however, meeting a deadline was only part of the challenge...having a car, or cars that could be in the winner's circle at the end of the race was the real goal. Sadly, on their first time out they were met with mechanical failures, and once more it was back to the drawing boards and decisions on subtle exterior design changes, engine changes (289ci - 427ci) brakes, and gearbox changes were made. Now, let me move ahead to June of 1966, and the Lemans Race against the Ferraris, and what Ford was now hoping to be victorious in doing so.
As the day of the race drew closer, the Ford Le Mans Committee arrived to support the team. Henry Ford II had been named honorary chairman of the race and would serve as starter with his wife and son Edsel with him in tow. As the clock hit 4:00 PM on June 18th, Henry Ford II waved the starter flag and the drivers ran across the track to start their cars and the race. Ken Miles, who had the second fastest qualifying time after Gurney, had immediate issues as the door struck his helmet and he had to quickly pit for repairs. The rest of the cars roared on with the Fords and Ferraris trading the lead through much of the early race. The crowds watched knowing that the Fords had often been the fastest cars but never completed the endurance race. After midnight, the tables began to turn. The Ferraris began to drop out with mechanical difficulties and while Ford had some withdrawals, the bulk of the team raced on and at one point held the 1-2-3-5-8 spots. By 4:00 AM, the last of the Ferraris was out of the race and the order went out for the teams to slow the pace to ensure the most cars could complete the race. The drivers slowed from the early pace of 3:30 per lap to a more strategic 3:50 per lap. Dan Gurney was in the lead most of the evening, with the Ken Miles and Bruce McLaren teams trading 2nd and 3rd place depending upon their pit stop order. When Gurney’s car went out with engine problems around 10:00AM, Ford still had the first three places between the Shelby American and Holman Moody teams.
With two hours left in the race, Leo Beebe and Carroll Shelby met to discuss the end of the race. With the Ford cars running 1-2-3, there was little question as to winning the race, but what order should the finish take? If Miles and McLaren continued their personal race, a malfunction such as the one Dan Gurney had at Sebring might occur. The team also discussed having the cars come across in a tie and inquired of the ACO (Le Mans race organizing committee) if that was permitted. The ACO agreed that this was possible and so the drivers (at this time Ken Miles and Bruce McLaren) were told the news at their next pit stop. While neither was thrilled with the decision, both acquiesced with Ken Miles saying “I work for the Ford Motor Company… if they want me to win the race, why, I’ll do it… and if they ask me to jump in a lake, why I’ll guess I will have to do that as well.”
Miles (who had just taken the lead during a McLaren pit stop) and McLaren began to slow down to allow the third car, driven by the Holman & Moody driver Dick Hutcherson to catch up. By this time, word had come back from the ACO that a tie would in fact not be permitted and since the Bruce McLaren team had started 8 meters further back from the start line it would have traveled further and would be declared the winner. The ACO ruling is a matter of some debate as there was nothing written in the sporting regulations from that year that accounted for the rules in the event of a tie.
The decision to notify the drivers of the change in ACO policy rested with Leo Beebe and Carroll Shelby. As the two conferred, there were a number of considerations. While Ken Miles had done the bulk of the race prep work on the Mark II to prepare it for competition since his first drive in February, 1965, Bruce McLaren had been with the program since its inception in 1963 and had always been a true team player driving at the assigned speed. Both drivers felt they could win in a race to the finish as neither had more than a lap or two lead during the second half of the race. Leo Beebe ultimately made the decision to not notify the drivers and let the dead heat occur, which would make the McLaren team the victor. Beebe later noted that “to have Ken win would have been more expedient and popular, but the extent to which McLaren and Amon had played exactly according to our rules mitigated against Miles. The result was not necessarily even popular with me.” Ultimately, Beebe felt that Ken Miles trying to push the Dan Gurney car at Sebring was a big enough strike against him to give the nod to the McLaren/Amon team.
During the final lap, the three Ford cars rode in tandem with Miles and McLaren crossing the finish line in a dead heat with Hutcherson close behind in 3rd place. Photos at the time appear to show McLaren surging ahead at the final moment, but the checkered flag is actually waved some distance from the final finish line, which was being monitored by newly installed IBM electronic time keeping devices. The photo finish was intact. As the cars approached the victory circle, Ken Miles and fellow driver Denny Hulme who hanging out of the passenger side door, were surprised when they were waved off to allow McLaren and Amon to the victory podium. Both were crestfallen when they learned of the changed ACO rule interpretation, but Ken Miles had the most to lose. He would have been the first driver to win Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans in the same year. In an interview a few months after the race he was philosophical, noting once again that he worked for Ford and would accept whatever outcome occurred.
This victory was a culmination of three years of engineering, design, and research to develop a winning car and winning team. Motorsport racing requires a combination of engineering, artistry and intuition from the drivers. With the Mark II all three elements were in play. Ford Motor Company engineering did tremendous work on the elements of the car and many were highlighted in papers to the Society of Automotive Engineers, while the stellar teams of Shelby American and Holman & Moody provided the artistry to turn the cars into unbeatable racing machines, and the drivers provided the vision and courage to navigate the difficult courses.

Another reason I drag the camera around with me most of the time. I caught the winter sunrise on the way to work one morning.
For some reason 66424 just arrived in the bay of platforms 7 and 8 at Crewe. The driver jumped out and got in the other cab, waited for a few minutes before getting the road to leave.
Its these little workings that keep us meere uninformed mortals fascinated and intrigued with the railway network. I can imagine several conversations around Crewe's enthusiast community that spent a pleasant hour or so speculating the purpose of that move.
My speculation however, was brief and i quickly focused camera and mind on capturing the moment. The unplanned event had my creative juices flowing and having several conventional pictures in the bag i was on the hunt for that special opportunity.
The Crewe station anti suicide squad had recently set me free having convinced themselves that i was not a danger to myself nor society and had no intention of putting one toe beyond the yellow line thus endangering the lives of hundreds of other passengers.
I was behaving impeccably until they disappeared and then behaving like a crazy man i dropped to one knee to get a different angle my knee grazing the yellow line. Phew ! i got away with it.
The approaching Pendo had me fiddling with my camera settings to induce some intentional in camera movement whilst still keeping the Class 66 as sharp as i could. Referring to the manual step 1 said place camera on tripod......Bollocks ! tripod was in the car. Manual discarded i decided to wing it as carriage after carriage glided by.
Bingpot...this is pretty much what i had hoped for and no railway enthusiasts were harmed during the recording of this picture.

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

For some reason this fantastic park seems never be on anyone's radar. It should be, its a large 17 mile loop road with so many interesting scenes. This is Valley of the Gods in Utah. I was lucky to get some clouds while I was there, which gave some detail in the sky. Let me know what you think.
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.

"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."
Congrats Deidra and Kirphton!!! Blessings for a Lifetime of Love and Happiness!!!
