Remembering last year risking waves sweeping me from precarious seaweed covered ledges. Alarms in the heart is by Dry the River, and it's been a year of emotions washing over me like the tide.My wonderful Flickr friends have washed me with love and kindness, thanks
so much.

There is a considerable avalanche risk on Mt Taranaki following heavy snowfalls there.

I moved overseas a couple of times with work - sometimes you strike lucky, and sometimes you strike very lucky.
We managed to bag the rental of this just-refurbished 100 year old apartment in the Champel district of Geneva which came with original parquet floors, French-style doors, and what I seem to remember as a 12 foot curtain drop. The lift too was in the old open French style. We were lucky because plenty of Swiss were hankering after it, but the owner clearly decided the company I worked for had deeper pockets and would be a better credit risk.
This was taken in 2005 - not too long before we would up sticks again and move to the US Deep South. So out went the smart suits and ties, and in came the short sleeves and khaki slacks - much more my style.
Inevitably you adapt your lifestyle to a new environment and I did miss a lot of things about Switzerland, yet oddly the most enduring one was my daily commute on the number 3 trolley bus.
All credit to Mrs H for dressing the room.
Sorry, no trains in this one.

Earlier i posted this drone shot (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/42514739985/in/photol...) from the Noordwaard. The Noordwaard is an area that has been reconstructed a few years ago as part of a large project in the Netherlands that is called Room for the River (www.ruimtevoorderivier.nl/english/). All large rivers and their floodplains have been excavated in order to store more water when there is a risk of over-flooding the cities that lie adjacent to the rivers. In case of the Noordwaard the waters get lower with 30 cm's.
Was the earlier picture taken in a very dry season, this is the result (for the first time in 5 years) with high waters. The system works perfect. I took the picture in almost the same position, only the sun was straight in the lens, and I admit I prefer the earlier shot. But it is nice to show both the two.
The signs alternating messages, "EXTREME BLOWOVER RISK" and "WIND GUSTS 60+ MPH" seemed about right. My GVW was just under 80,000 lbs and I was getting pushed about pretty good. The temperatures had been warm, in the 50's, so the roads were dry, even so many drivers were finding places to park for the evening. I started my day at 3 AM, so even though I'd driven less than 200 miles, the early delivery and then a pick-up at Coors in Golden Colorado had pretty much done in my productivity for the day. Took this shot from the parking lot of the Summit Rest Area about 18 miles East of Laramie, Wyoming. It's the highest elevation on I-80 at over 8,000 feet.
The winter weather is absolutely brutal as Metra 143 heads outbound with a Union Pacific Northwest Line train, passing under the searchlights at Clybourn Junction, Chicago. Windchills were well below -20 degrees F, and raw, ripping wind was driving powdery snow into every crevice. Risking frostbite and hypothermia like an idiot, I stood outside on the platform for over an hour here to document the (Covid-reduced) "rush" in some of the most intense winter conditions Chicago had seen in a few years.

There are a couple of Lapwing nests at Catcott that are at risk of being lost to rising water after the heavy rain we've had. Hopefully the water will recede before the eggs get wet.
When your whole world is shaken
From all the risks we have taken
Dance with me, dance with me
Into the colors of the dusk
When you hav awoken
From all the dreams broken
Come and dance with me, dance with me
Into the colors of the dusk
Dance with me into the colors of the dusk
The paths we're walking on
They crumble behind us
But if we leave now
Tey will never, they will never find us
And if this crazy world spins itself
Down to dust
I want to be with you
In the colors
When you again start hoping
With your arms wide open
Come on dance with me, oh dance with me
Into the colors of the dusk
And all will be right, will be right
Dancing like water with the light
Woah dance with me, wont you dance with me
Into the colors of the dusk
Whoa dance with me
Into the colors of the dusk
Dance with me into the colors of the dusk

I get tingles from the secret vulnerability that comes just with wearing a strippable dress in clubs. As the dress is peeled off, the straps come off my shoulders. This is Vanilla Bae's Arianna dress, one of my favorites. So naughty.
Risk and Reward - A New Year's photography resolution for me was to capture wildlife in the elements more. Photographing in the rain can certainly be risky (requires great care with equipment), but also rewards one with some of the best behavioral and artistic image opportunities.
I spent several hours photographing this particular male hummingbird who I've come to know over the years. I took almost 1,500 images, and of all those, this was the only one where the lighting, pose, colors, sharpness, and raindrops all came together to convey the rainforest mood I sought to capture.
I look forward to capturing more unique images in the rain this year!
Species: Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna)
Location: Santa Clara County, CA, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R7 + EF 100-400mm IS II
Settings: 1/400s, ISO: 1600, f/5.6 @640mm, Handheld, Electronic Shutter
Experimental Interceptor; super quick but unpredictable.
The Merlin was developed between Rolls Royce and the Royal Navy; the ship is quick enough to stage surprise counterattacks on Wun'Tux raiders but the devil-may-care pilots run the risk of passing out due to the high, unpredictable G forces which can overcome them.
Here is another photo from the Tops of 2018 folder that I'm just now adding to FB. This is the caption I wrote at the time:
After getting the photos in this post:

After getting those shots the whole gang of Doug Boudrow, John Kittredge, Tyler Varnum, Vincent Colombo, and whoever else I'm missing moved down to the Ludlow area to shoot the foliage train from Chester coming up the hill. We did the same, but then made the risky decision to chase east a bit cause there was one shot I really wanted with the last Green Mountain painted geep on the rear.
We weren't sure if we could get it and then still double back west before the 263/slurry freight started down hill.
Well, as you can see, we did.
This shot posted a while ago if you missed it: flic.kr/p/2i5muQ4
But if we hadn't and missed the shot of 263 round the curve at Okemo in perfect storm light I think Doug would have lost it!
This is the shot I took the risk for. Green Mountain GP9 804 rides the rear of the 10 AM foliage train heading back east downgrade on the former Rutland mainline to Bellows Falls. The old Rutland bridge over the Black River in the village of Proctorsville just east of Depot St is so cool to frame a train in with its build date cut out in the top of the truss frame.
