Ballooning in Eastern Styria

...but unfolds itself naturally.

 

Happy New Year to all of you, my friends!

May 2019 be peaceful, healthy and creative!

Just look at those feet! A coot winds up the power as it begins a run across Bushy Park pond.

824.aniversary of Hamburg harbour

Grizzly Bear sow and her two-and-a-half-year-old cubs

Each new day brings with it,

Opportunities yet to be,

And, as they are unfolding,

Who knows what we will see?

 

*****Happy New Year 2010*****

 

...in the Explore calendar at #305 on January 3, 2010

The snow has begun to fall this afternoon in central Illinois and it may be slowing traffic down, but it makes no difference to the trains. After waiting for a northbound CN train to cross the diamond at Tolono, these two trains got the signal to proceed, resulting in a short-term race just west of town. The autoparts train on the main (right side) quickly passed up local train D91 on the siding due to the siding's restricted speed.

This morning I returned to Start Point lighthouse on the South Devon coast and was rewarded with a pretty sunrise.

Capturing the lighthouse light on was a bonus.

With steam blowin' and smoke flyin' 611 gets a move on out of the NCTM toward VMT in Roanoke in the pre-sunrise hours.

This is the wall and fence that stops people walking around the lighthouse at Start Point - not much of a deterrent from what I could see. The Coast Path follows the headland around to the beautiful beach at Mattiscombe Sands.

I went to the community garden in Gabriel Park for the first time this year. Something beautiful was starting to blossom. I do not have a the name yet :-)

Colliery Zollverein - Ruhr Museum

The Ruhr Museum, which opened at the start of the RUHR 2010 Capital of Culture year in the former coal washing plant, is the regional museum of the Ruhr area.

A very thick fog to start the day. This umbrella user is perhaps waiting to see the view if the mists should part. (He will leave disappointed).

Oh yeah, season is ON for northernlights! This is from last night. 5 hours of wait was worth it.

Non sempre l'orizzonte e' qualcosa di finito....Si puo' sempre guardare al di la', un po come la siepe leopardiana, oltre chje c'e'? Salpare dallo scoglio e mollare gli ormeggi, in fondo e' solo la convinzione da mettere in gioco!

 

Not

always the horizon seems determined.... you can always look

beyond, rather like the Giacomo Leopardi's hedge, do we go beyondi the hedge to see? To weigh anchor and pick up the moorings, at the bottom we must play on the convinction!

wishing all my flickr friends a happy new year !

Well folks the previous image was from the pond to the rail, and the start of the shake, rattle and roll behavior which is what I came for. A friend captured an image that I was trying to replicate and did so 10-times over. If it were any other species I would not not invested this much time and effort, some yes but not this much.

Thank you very much for visiting, and have a great day.

The Grumman TBF Avenger (designated TBM for aircraft manufactured by General Motors) is an American torpedo bomber developed initially for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, and eventually used by several air and naval aviation services around the world.

 

The Avenger entered U.S. service in 1942, and first saw action during the Battle of Midway. Despite the loss of five of the six Avengers on its combat debut, it survived in service to become one of the outstanding torpedo bombers of World War II. Greatly modified after the war, it remained in use until the 1960s

There were three crew members: pilot, turret gunner and radioman/bombardier/ventral gunner.

A weir at the start of autumn.

I stumbled upon Kim Leuenberger's Instagram images (www.instagram.com/travellingcars/) today and found some inspiration for today's pic. I am starting to feel better and decided to walk down my block with my toy van this morning. Most of our snow has melted away but I found a small pile to set my van in for effect. I decided to work in Photoshop with cloning and adding texture. There is always more to learn but I am trying, baby stepping along the way. Have a great day and thank you all for the well wishes, they did the trick!

I think you know this toy.

 

When you start the game, the luck, the joy, the love, the hope, the happiness, the warmth, the ....blessings,

 

All belong to you.

 

Wish you have a colourful weekend soon@

Always nice when you start a gray day on the road, and you drive along a lake, the sky opens up, and you see this!.

 

Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.

 

Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.

 

Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).

Starting a new set today: autumn leaves that fell. What can a person do with leaves on the ground? Well, maybe more than what you'll see from me over the next few days, but you may find my offerings interesting.

 

As for this image, I didn't touch a thing. Somehow when I try to arrange a still life in nature, it never works: I can't duplicate the random chaos or patterns-within-chaos that occur naturally. My concoctions are always a little too perfect and artful, and I never like the results. I learned a long time ago to just go with what I find, the only changes being to occasionally remove a twig or use my hat to bend grasses away and out of the frame while I make the shot.

 

A friend sent me this quote recently and I think it applies not only to the coming series but to all creative endeavours...

 

Instructions for living a life:

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it.
