An International Security Assistance Force Special Operations Forces sniper is in position overlooking the Tagab Valley while a Road Maintenance Team checkpoint is being built in Tagab, Afghanistan, Nov. 26, 2010. Afghan civilians, RMT members, International Security Assistance Force Special Operations Forces and Afghan National Police-Provincial Response Company members all helped to build the checkpoint.
Where is that special place in the world that makes you feel peaceful and calm, and that you can carry everywhere in your thoughts?
"Special taste" is a translation on the lantern. Perhaps another one of those tuckout bars which are very common in this part of Tokyo. You can see another bar further down the street on the left.
I was looking for more compositions like Saitama without having to rely on the same lantern. So I eventually found this composition. Lantern was in a great place, excluding the guys at the bar there was no one in the shot somehow, but the shot contained something I worked to avoid here at Omoide, the large white signs that say in full uppercase in english "NO SMOKING" & "RESTROOMS ->" It may be different for locals but seeing that just makes it seem like this was not on location. I settled on keeping the signs (because of complications with the sakura) but eliminating the words.
In editing I carried over a mission I failed to achieve in my last Omoide post, and that was making it look like it was taken later at night. I gave the tokyo sign in the back a lot more light and took all the illumination out of the clouds. The lantern didn't have much clarity so I brought in another one of my shots to fill in the blanks and make it a better subject. Saitama's still my better Omoide lantern shot though (maybe I'll remaster it).
I don't know if this is the best shot to start a new month with but it's been a while since I posted on this place. Hell, some sites I visited in Japan still have yet to show up at all on the site. There's no pattern in my processes I can tell you that.

……………………………………………………………………….
My health company, every three months, for three days, sends me to cover a shortage of staff, in the Lipari hospital, (and so do my colleagues), in the little free time I have available, I dedicate myself to my photographic passion.
Lipari is the largest island of the Aeolian Islands (they are located north of Sicily, one hour by hydrofoil from Milazzo); Lipari, under the fascist dictatorship, was the seat of forced confinement for political opponents, it was considered "a Sicilian Alcatraz", among all the islands of confinement, Lipari was most likely the most liveable, both for its considerable size that favored the relations of the confined with the inhabitants, both because, to a greater extent than elsewhere, in Lipari, confined persons were allowed to live in private residences, together with their families or other companions. I found written: "Being on an island that belongs to another island means feeling doubly foreign, tied to the will of the gods and nature, where every certainty can be swept away by the waves of that sea that laps it in every intimate part, but it is a sensation that lasts for a few minutes, the Liparoti (the inhabitants of Lipari, ed) know it well (as all Sicilians know), the Greek concept of Xenia, hospitality, is inherent in them, a written rule, is a duty that provides sanctity and protection for the guest ".
Lipari has a long history as a place of detention. It is the island where the common criminals were initially confined, then with the law of November 6, 1926 (the twenty-year fascist period begins with the seizure of power by fascism and Mussolini, officially occurred on October 31, 1922), Lipari thus became the a place to isolate and confine opponents; the life of the confined began immediately after disembarkation, with lodging in the dormitories of the Castle, under the strict surveillance of the police and the fascist militia, every morning, the confined were subjected to the appeal and they received a daily pay of 10 lire; they could move freely in the town, without however exceeding the demarcation line that surrounded the inhabited center; walking was the main activity, the saddest and most melancholy ones pushed to the limit allowed, to see the ferries arrive from Milazzo, aware that the sea was guarded by motorboats armed with machine guns. A situation that will not prevent Nitti, Rosselli and Lussu from fleeing the island, on a moonless night, between 27 and 28 July 1929.
I made some photo-portraits of people I didn't know, I thank them very much for their sympathy and their availability; I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking along the streets of Lipari ... in search of fleeting moments ...I used a particular photographic technique for some photographs at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production
La mia azienda sanitaria, ogni tre mesi, per tre giorni, mi manda a ricoprire una carenza di organico, nell’ospedale di Lipari, (e così anche i miei colleghi), nel poco tempo libero che mi resta a disposizione, mi dedico alla mia passione fotografica.
Lipari è l’isola più grande delle isole Eolie (si trovano a nord della Sicilia, ad un’ora di aliscafo da Milazzo); Lipari , sotto la dittatura fascista, fu sede di confino coatto per gli oppositori politici, essa era considerata “un’Alcatraz siciliana”, fra tutte le isole di confino, Lipari fu molto probabilmente quella più vivibile, sia per le sue notevoli dimensioni che favorivano i rapporti dei confinati con gli abitanti, sia perché, in misura maggiore che altrove, a Lipari veniva consentito ai confinati di abitare in residenze private, insieme ai propri familiari o ad altri compagni. Ho trovato scritto: “Trovarsi su un Isola che appartiene a un’altra Isola, vuol dire sentirsi doppiamente straniero, legato al volere degli dei e della natura, dove ogni certezza può essere spazzata via dalle onde di quel mare che la lambisce in ogni intima parte, ma è una sensazione che dura solo per qualche minuto, i Liparoti (gli abitanti di lipari, n.d.r.)lo sanno bene (come lo sanno tutti i siciliani), è connaturato in loro il concetto greco della Xenia, l'ospitalità, non è una norma scritta, è un atto dovuto che prevede sacralità e protezione per l’ospite”.
Lipari ha una lunga storia come luogo di detenzione. È l’isola dove all’inizio erano confinati i delinquenti comuni, poi con la legge del 6 novembre 1926 (il ventennio fascista inizia con la presa del potere del fascismo e di Mussolini, ufficialmente avvenuta il 31 ottobre 1922), Lipari divenne così il luogo dove isolare e confinare gli oppositori; la vita del confinato iniziava subito dopo lo sbarco, con l’alloggio nelle camerate del Castello, sotto la rigida sorveglianza della polizia e della milizia fascista, ogni mattina, i confinati erano sottoposti all’appello e alla consegna della "mazzetta", ossia la paga giornaliera di 10 lire; potevano circolare liberamente nel paese, senza però superare la linea di demarcazione che circondava il centro abitato; passeggiare era la principale attività, i più tristi e malinconici si spingevano fino al limite consentito per vedere arrivare i traghetti da Milazzo, consapevoli che il mare era sorvegliato da motoscafi armati di mitragliatrici. Situazione che non impedirà a Nitti, Rosselli e Lussu di fuggire dall’isola, in una notte senza luna, tra il 27 e il 28 luglio del 1929.
Ho realizzato dei foto-ritratti di persone che non conoscevo, le ringrazio veramente tanto per la loro simpatia e la loro disponibilità; ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per le strade di Lipari... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.
Last train of the day is this BNSF "special" (extra) ballast train from Paducah, KY to Havre, MT.
Up front is a post-merger SD70MAC, still in its BN inspired paint.
Unseen at the far end of the train is a GEVO, so the MAC wasn't alone, but it was all by itself up front and looked pretty nice.
Not a bad day of train shooting with only 1 train having a GE leader. (photo not uploaded)
This gorgeous girl will only be with me for a short time. She came to me recently, and has been given a lot of care while she's been here, but she's going to a new home soon. Just after winning this girl (spur of the moment decision) I got the opportunity to buy a chunky banged redhead, a girl I was really wanting. So this little beauty gets to travel a bit more.... would her new mum like to own up? ;)
After a little hiatus for myself, and possibly the last Military unit move to the CP Muskego Yard...Y501-18 runs East through the trenches on the way to Grand Ave, where they will enter the Watertown Subdivision to interchange their train at Muskego. With only a handful of military moves left possibly, we chased this from Slinger to the interchange point where they'll leave the train and depart LITE power back to home rails.
Was a good day surrounded by great company.

I would call this a hillbilly special (no offense, some of the nicest people are hillbillies and billettes) except we have no mountains not to mention hills.
Can't you just see the ad" For sale mechanics special, some work required. Doors and steering wheel optional. Four tires no brakes, just add an engine and your ready to go."
The Route 65X runs for only one day a year, the route runs a circular service from Ealing Broadway to Gunnersbury Park taking people to and from the London Mela Festival. (06/09/15)
A neat find this was. I can't remember if I've ever seen a Buick Special of this age.
Notice in the background, most cars are Japanese....
call for roses, and special beverages. This is a Canadian Apple Whiskey, the rose part of my bouquet. Happy Valentines!

I was checking out contact photos the other day and came across a photo my contact Kerri had posted of her cat Jimmy, who'd passed away awhile ago.
Kerri commented on how tough it was to get over her loss, even after all that time, and I immediately felt a lump in my throat. I can SO identify!
Including the current feline residents here on the farm, we've had 22 cats. Each with their own unique personalities.
I've loved them all, but Leo and Floydd hold a most special place in my heart. It seems that not a day goes by I don't find myself still missing them.
A while back I posted a video of an orange azalea with the Orange Blossom Special as the backing.. This is just a picture of a train which I have made the Orange Blossom Special and the song is the real deal with Buddy Greene on the harmonica... Playing time 2 mins 40 sec.. Enjoy!!
And since then .....

Every once in awhile you see a sunset that is special. And maybe that's entirely in the eye of the beholder. This one is special to me because it came at the end of a long day hiking with my siblings in Glacier National Park. That was six years ago already, but the brilliance of the sunset lives on in my mind's eye.
