sometimes you need a little help finding your way...
this is for all of those poor souls who have drowned their dreams and their spark for reasons in life that require them to make the sacrifice... sometimes it's by choice of responsibility, sometimes it's by chance, sometimes it's just because of bad luck- or none at all, sometimes it's just because you think you can't or don't deserve to have it... our dreams are always there floating around in our heads just dying to come up for air and breathe, but sometimes we are just limp and heavy from reasons that don't allow us to move our limbs and reach for the surface; it's just such a sinking feeling to know that you're going to miserable for your whole life having to do things that anchor your dreams to the ocean floor- or at least that's what is believed, but sometimes we need that person, that one thing that grabs our hand and leads us back to the surface for air and that beacon of light- of hope that leads us back to land and makes us grounded again so we can live the life we've always dreamed of without the cold and heavy weight of the world on our shoulders. we all know someone like this in our lives and they need someone (like you) to reignite that spark in them that used to be there with a little love and a gentle tug back up to the surface so they can breathe again <3 xo
p.s. please do me a solid and view in "L" the sharpening is making my eyes bleed :/....

You cannot visit Brugge, and return without a photo with or of a SWAN. Why Swans in Brugge?
THE LEGEND:
At the end of the 15th century, the oppressed people of Bruges rose in revolt against the unpopular Emperor Maximilian of Austria.
They captured Maximilian and imprisoned him in the Craenenburg House on the Market Square, together with his equally unpopular adviser, Pieter Lanckhals.
Lanckhals was condemned to death and Maximilian was forced to watch the execution.
The Emperor eventually escaped and later took his revenge: he decreed that ‘until the end of time’ the city should be required at its own expense to keep swans on all its lakes and canals.
And why swans? Because swans have long necks – and the Flemish for ‘long neck’ is ‘lange hals’ – or ‘lanckhals’!
And so a city legend was born…
THE FACT? More likely…
The first swans in Bruges go back to the Middle Ages.
In the early 15th century, Bruges bought the right to keep swans from the Count of Flanders.
At that time swans were a symbol of distinction.
The killing or stealing swans was forbidden.
Swans were first mentioned in the city accounts in 1403.
At that time the swans tended to stay on the vests around the city because the canals were the water highways of the city and too busy for the swans.
A Mute Swan (Cygnus olor), preening in Spring.
The mute swan is commonly associated with romance because of its stark white beauty, graceful swimming and the fact that it mates for life.
Yet there are many things most people don’t know about this swan, including that it is not native to North America and it can be one of the most aggressive waterfowl.
I chose the graphic composition, because I wanted something different. Hope you like it too.
I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

Early colour lights the sky on my local beach at Sandsend [looking towards Whitby]. My wife had told me that dawn might be rather nice. I jokingly tell friends that beachwear consists of a heavy coat, waterproof over-trousers and neoprene Wellington boots - with temperatures around freezing, I'm sure you'll understand.

You probably thought what I did: If I post to an award group that requires 3 awards, then I should expect 3 awards, on average. Obviously, any given photo will get more or less, but you figure on average you should get as much as you give, right? WRONG!!
I’ve done a systematic study of how many awards the different award groups give out, and the bottom line is this: The half of Flickrites who do actually give out rewards get nothing in return from the other half of the Flickrites who post and run.
If you’re posting and running, shame on you. If you’re posting and being honest, then you should check out the list below to see which award groups are best and worst.
Details of the study are below; I welcome any data that the group admins wish to share, or from anyone would like to validate these findings. I realize my sample is small and would like to get more data...
-----------
Purpose: Do you get as many rewards as you give in Flickr award groups?
Method: Sample 20 Flickr award groups. Go to page 24 and count the number of awards given to the first 12 pictures; this is deep enough in the pool that awards have stopped, but not so deep that many images have been pulled. I validated a sample of 12 was sufficient.
Result: From a total sample of 240 images posted to award groups, you get 59% of the awards you give out, or roughly you have to give two awards in order to get one. There is huge variation amongst the groups, as you’ll see in table below.
Discussion: At a practical level, it appears that there are two things that contribute to a higher percentage of reciprocity. First, group cohesion makes a difference—for example Shining Star has a relatively higher percentage because many of the members are contacts with each other. Second, a mechanical pool sweeper, if properly used, makes a HUGE difference, e.g. Global Village 2 and Flickr Hearts. The results also show that there are lots of Flickrites who don’t play by the rules. In the case of group awards, without a pool sweeper there is absolutely no penalty for posting and running because there’s no way to get caught.
Group averages… For example, A+++ has 70%, meaning that for every A+++ award you give, you get 0.7 back… Some of the averages are above 100% because of sampling error, and because of multiple invites.

It looks much worse than it was, but still required a head for heights. This 24 mile marathon must easily fit within my all time best ten mountain hikes.
This particular day we set off early to complete the Dawson, Pitamaken loop, which has to be one of the most stupendous hikes I have ever undertaken. Our route would take us through forest for a few miles, alongside and way above a few isolated mountain lakes and then along a traverse which hugged the side of Flinsch Peak where this image was taken. Once we reached the bealach around the far side I dumped my rucksack and scooted off up to the summit of this wonderfully remote nine thousand foot peak. My issue here was that no one else wanted to extend the climb so whilst they disgruntledly waited for me to return they chose to partially fill my ruck sack with rocks. It was only six miles later when I realised what they had done. Had my hiking pals done right adding to my load, well they would say so given the fact that we missed the last boat of the day back to the campsite and had to walk. In fact matters became worse when we realised the track around the short side of Two Medicine Lake was closed due to bear activety, so instead we had to take the additional five mile route the long way back. I wasn't popular, but then I was the only one who had climbed anything that day.

As we pulled the cover over my car, I spotted this dead bee on the fabric. I hadn't seen one like it before. I looked in my bee book and think it is Lipotriches (Austronomia) australica. While I was sad to see it had died in the folds of the cover, it did provide me a great opportunity to photograph it closely. It reminded me of those big displays in museums, only this one didn't have a pin stuck through it!
The Borumba Pump Hydro Electricity Scheme of Queensland Hydro will require an enlarged Lake Borumba as the lower regulating storage, and an upper 'industrial' pondage providing a hydraulic head of 400m. This top storage will be impounded by a rock-filled concrete-faced wall across this gorge (pictured).
The immediate foreground is forested by a regrowth dry sclerophyll forest which has regrown since a severe devastating fire. The areas east (to the right) of the gorge are more heavily timbered because the gorge has inhibited the advance of the fire front resulting in a less severe fire on those slopes leaving some old-growth forest that has had understorey fires pass through, as they gradually re-intensify.
Cleared areas on the valley floor in the background indicate the area has been used primarily for grazing, the cattle grazing on the forested plateau as well as on the valley floor. Traditionally graziers lit free ranging fires which were extinguished by storms or were fought by firefighters when the fires advanced as far as the State Forest reserve on the next plateau and ranges to the east.
This plateau has a cliffed escarpment in part on its eastern side, which often stopped the advance of the fires, but where the escarpment was absent, the grazier in the next tributary valley (Borumba Creek) would back burn the slopes to prevent wildfires descending upon his estate, stock and buildings. The free or wild fires were partially controlled by relief, resulting in some remnant forest patches which contain the original species including native softwoods (Araucaria spp) and red cedar. The small creek that flows through this gorge and descends to its confluence with Yabba Creek was called Cedar Creek by the 19th century timbergetters and subsequently by the 20th century graziers.
The slopes in the midground are patchily forested with significant bare green areas which have resulted from repeated severe wildfires this century (e.g. 2015, 2021).
To finish this account, it has to be admitted that 20% of the proposed pondage area (out of photo to the south) has no forest at all, and even the grasses are overgrazed and the soils impoverished of carbon. And this is due to the frequency of fire (match-box management) lit by graziers combined with granitic geology.
Once the pondage is created for the pump hydro project, the forests in the impounded area will have been cleared, but the resulting lake 5 kms long transverse to the direction of fire advance will provide a significant fire barrier and thus protect the forests in Conondale National Park and Imbil State Forest to the east. And furthermore, should a fire whether lit by dry lightning strike, arsonist or grazier eventuate, the pondage will provide the fire-fighting helicopters with an immediate source of water.
So the history of fire in this area is not "pretty" sadly, and now a significant area of existing regrowth forest and some remnant natural stands in the gorge depths will be sacrificed. Then my protesting spirit is sobered when I admit that one thermal power station requires opencut coal pits that extend over areas 8 times (as in the case of Callide thermal power station) the area to be cleared and inundated for this Borumba scheme.
*Wanted to make sure that I got a decent series of night shot pannings with the ferris wheel lit up in the background. Bonus that I got some rain to go along with it.

After years of Covid required isolation, it was good to again meet Linda in-person.
This made me wonder why she chose her first name. Instead of asking her, I simply consulted the Urban Dictionary, Wow - I have to agree- this was an obvious choice for her.
Linda is......
"Absolutely gorgeous & stunning her beauty will never be matched. Beautiful inside and out. She is intelligent, strong, kind & witty. She has the most amazing hair & her smile will light up a room at thousand watts. She's fun to be around. Her best quality is that she wants to make you happy. She'll have you laughing until you cry. The nature of her soul which runs deep means that your secret is always safe with her - she'll never tell another soul. Easy to get on with you'll instantly have a deep connection. She's your soul mate for life. The light of anyone's life you'll be blessed to know her. Linda is honest, open, truthful, the most beautiful, gregarious person you'll be truly blessed to know. Never let Linda go or lose her from your life. Keep her close, protect her beautiful nature, kind heart. Wrap her up safe in your arms. Love her & she will more than reward you. She'll enchant you in every way possible. It will break your heart to see her sad that all you will want to do is make her happy. She has many loyal devoted friends. Life is for living. She is like a lioness who will protect those that she loves. Never let her down and never let her go. Linda is truly one in a million that you will never ever encounter again in your life."
Feeling fortunate again......

I posted this odd photo to my Facebook page and asked folks to come up with good caption. Of the responses, these were my favorites:
"How's your food? Mine's a little chewie…"
"My meat's a little on the dark side."
"Steak, steak, mistake."
Do you have a fun caption? Let me know in comments!
A hasty recomposure required at Shore Road this morning as 6C22 turned out to be bordering on a proper train's length.
The quartet of FNAs from the previous day's Torness trip were joined behind Nos.37612 & 37611 by D.I.T. 20308.
The train has just passed what remains of the steel-works at Moss Bay, ie; not a lot.
Something the human spirit is required to take in, to keep the mind on an even keel.

Great photography requires dedication, time and effort.
But above all there are costs involved as well.
Equipment, props and model fees, not to mention time,
are all "out-of-pocket" expenses for the artist.
If you enjoy my photography, you might like to help to support my art.
I offer over 2 hours of great videos, including many
behind-the-scenes of some of my best photo sessions,
all artistically crafted for your enjoyment.

At Clear Creek metro park. From this view - the Creek is on over to the right hand side area of this photo, through to those pines in the background. This is one of my favorite places to go, to hike, to sit in quietness, and to fish the shallow cool water surrounded by nature.
The Clear Creek Valley is a special scientific, scenic and geologic area. Centuries of flooding by glacial meltwater have cut the present gorge area through Black Hand sandstone, leaving behind scenic cliffs and rugged formations overlooking Clear Creek.
Hiking trails begin at each parking area. Many trails require some climbing, since there is a 300-foot elevation gain from the valley floor to the ridgetop.
The topography of the park is extremely rugged, with many steep ravines, rock outcroppings and cliff faces.
