The L571 local running westbound over the circa 1897 truss bridge over the Cedar River near MP282 I had little time to set up the exposure and focus on this shot. This bridge has had water near or over the rails in 1993,1999 and 2008 (and probably a few others I am not aware of) During 100+ year flood events, the CNRR usually parks heavy rock ballast cars on it to stabilize the structure. A plate girder bridge on the old CGW bridge downriver a few miles did not survive the 2008 flood, and was rebuilt about 18 months after that flood.
Running cross country is the closest man will ever get to flying.

On a recent long walk down the Regent's Canal from Camden to Bethnal Green I took a lot of pictures. I've arranged them in series that I want to be seen together - I'm not posting to my usual groups because the daily upload limits and the commenting obligations make it just too onerous. If you want to see them, you have to come here :-)

Taken in Glacier Park's Two Medicine area. Also known as "Trick Falls." Rising Wolf Mountain stands tall in the bg.
"This one is really two falls in one. During high water, the water leaps from the top shelf, hiding a second hidden falls that roars out of a cave half way down. At lower flows, water only gushes out from the cave leaving the top dry. However, at any water level this is a phenomenal place to be. As you approach the falls, notice the unusual warping of the surrounding sedimentary rocks. This formation is from the unusual action of older rocks sliding over younger rocks which is common in and around Glacier National Park."
"This falls is named after Running Eagle (Pitamakan), a Blackfoot tribeswoman who lived around 1825. As the story goes, she gravitated to the skills of a Blackfoot warrior. She became a great hunter and was incredibly brave in the face of her tribes’ enemies. At one point, Running Eagle was instructed by the village elders to go on a vision quest in order to find her true calling. It is said that she went on this quest near the falls. Running eagle was able to tell of her adventures in the Medicine Lodge ceremonies while also becoming a member of the Braves Society of young warriors. She continued to lead successfully war and hunting parties until she died in a battle against a party of Flatheads near the Sun River."

Joined fellow members of my local camera club on a photo walk in Melbourne today. The aim was to capture images of interesting places and people around the city.

they beam things into your head
the ghosts of your pleasure and contempt
when we were liars things were seamless
when we were wired the world was like a secret
i close my eyes now and i scream
i turn the light on and there's nothing left redeeming
i saw your face before it changed
the gun it makes you look nicer in a bad way
so low for how high?
well it's too late tonight
and i'm sure you're right
as low for how high
and after this there's just the circus
and every morning you carnie heart stops workin
it gets tight in there sometimes
looking for the defects, talking like it's a reflex
i close my mouth now and i scream
i open the door and there's nothing left redeeming
i saw your face before the rough
you should wait around awhile cause your body's bound to turn up
so low for how high?
well it's too late tonight
and i'm sure you're right
as low for how high

Taken and cut out by Yasuko with help from me. It was a combined effort. The socks are Yasuko's the running shoes are mine. The shoe design belongs to Asics.

Editing, holidays, crazy winter weather and a super comfy sofa has stopped me from running over the past 6 months (oh and the lack of motivation and pure laziness). So I'm writing this here to hold myself accountable, I'm taking myself out on a run, and I will enjoy this and not quit in the first mile.
A female Ruddy Duck is running across the waters along with twenty or so other members of the flock. A male is in the background.
They are in a period of flightless molt and the runs occur several times an hour sometimes sending other species of nearby rafting ducks into a flight panic. I think the runs maintain the strength of the Ruddy's wing muscles.
