Walking the streets of Trinidad, Cuba, before sunrise is always an adventure. On this morning, I came upon this open doorway revealing portraits of revolutionaries, Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos, beneath a portrait of Jesus Christ. iPhone 6+ native camera, SnapSeed.

The fishermen of the high tides sails for weeks or sometimes even for months during the fishing season. The boatman in this picture is one hero I've seen who managed to swim underneath the boat to get it out of the hidden sand under the riverbed as the whole barge was stuck for almost a day.
Nijhum Dwip is a recently discovered island 2 kilometers southwest of Hatia under Noakhali district. Isolated from the Hatia channel,some identify the island as a cluster of 4 or 5 smaller islands. It was initially discovered by fishermen who noticed a small piece of floating land located at the southern part of the sea. Over the years, the island accumulated land-mass and was soon large enough for recognition.
It was not settled until 1970, until then only seaonally.Because of riverbank erosion in nearby areas, especially Hatiya, Shahbajpur and Ramgati people migrated to the island as new settlers. Subsequently, a substantial aforestation drive was undertaken by the forestry department of Bangladesh. The island soon became a recognised eco-tourist spot because of the perennial mangrove forests and wild life including animals such as spotted deer, wild boar and rhesus macaque. The island is also home to nearly 100 species of migratory birds, around a dozen of which are considered to be critically endangered.
In 2001, a significant portion of the island was designated as Nijhum Dwip National Park under the jurisdiction of Noakhali district in Bangladesh. The population in Nijhum Dwip in 2001 was 10,670. Their main occupations are cultivation, fishing and livestock farming. But the island suffers from natural calamities, and life is hard and risky.

With a high level of biodiversity, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic has some of the most significant forest areas remaining in Southeast Asia. The country also harbors one of the largest remaining populations of Asian elephants. But Laos, once known as the Land of a Million Elephants, faces warnings from conservationists that it could lose its herds within 50 years if it does not move quickly to protect them with tourism eyed as a possible savior. Poaching and habitat loss from logging, agriculture and hydroelectric projects has caused a major decline in the number of both wild and domesticated Asian elephants in Communist Laos.
The main threats faced by elephants are poaching for ivory, being killed as a direct result of human–elephant conflict, and habitat loss. Poaching involves both local and transboundary hunters. Reports of crop-raiding and human deaths caused by elephants are on the increase in the country. Laos is thought to have only 700 left in the wild.
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) describes the Asian elephant as "being seriously threatened with extinction". There are 560 working animals left in Laos and a further 700 wild ones rapidly running out of habitat. The Elephant Festival has been organised to raise awareness of the need for action to protect the Asian elephant as part of the vital cultural and natural heritage of Laos and the countries of the region. Nowadays conservation of an important elephant population is undertaken by Wildlife Conservation Society in Protected Areas. They are trying to reduce human-elephant conflict. The working elephant is a main source of income of the people of this region especially for mahouts. Laos Elephant also attract tourist because of the facility of elephant riding and trekking. Tourism appears to be one answer with its good and bad consequences.
On our bikes we pass a little village Ban Thieng about 10km south from Vang Vieng, we cross a stream where a elephants indulge in playful water fights, squirting refreshing showers over themselves. We meet these two little mahouts (elephant handlers) taking care of their elephant like it was a puppy dog.
Laos, ooit bekend als het ”Land van een Miljoen Olifanten”, riskeert zijn olifantenkuddes binnen de 50 jaar kwijt te raken indien er niets wordt ondernomen om de dieren beter te beschermen. Een van de redders van de Aziatische olifant in Laos kan het toerisme zijn. Stroperij en verlies van leefgebieden door houtkap, landbouwactiviteiten en hydro-elektrische projecten heeft voor een sterke terugval gezorgd, zowel van werk- als wilde olifanten. Bezorgdheid over het lot van de Aziatische olifant in het conflict tussen mensen en olifanten, heeft de afgelopen jaren geleid tot oprichting van beschermde gebieden. Toerisme is ook nodig, want tot heel kort geleden werd in Laos geen enkele poging gedaan om olifanten beter te beschermen. Maar nu de toeristen komen lijkt er meer initiatieven tot bescherming van de olifanten mogelijk, want toeristen brengen natuurlijk geld in het laatje. En dat geld kan het verarmde land best gebruiken.
Happy birthday to Kimberly...This pic is dedicated to U~
Here are my words~
~Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas Day~
This is a special day for mankind, cuz if u believe in miracles then a savior was born on this day~
If you don’t that’s ok, another special person was also born, perhaps just as great but didn’t receive such global recognition..but none the less she was born. I don’t think there was Flickr back then…just sayin~
There was the Kodak instamatic and the Nikon F and film was the way of the world……. Back in those days…..this girl was growing up….
Then this little girl grew up….Wow with such responsibility and the weight of of the world on her shoulder, her sister decided to buy her a new camera…..Not just any camera would do..It would be a fancy 10 MP digital Canon PowerShot or something like that…..
And, wouldn’t u know it this girl started posting those images on the web…She called it Flickr…
Flickr …..what’s such a thing??? Well I’m so glad u asked…It’s a place were young and old come together to post what they claim to be photo art…. Yeap and this young girl decided she’d give it a whirl..
What they hey being so creative and such a romantic… She even started publishing some of her poetry..Damn this girl can write….I mean she’s deep and her words reach the soul…..
So, if that were not enough, she decided that it would be a good idea, there if she could Group Admin….That’s what Flickr calls the “groups” private and public….What the hey she became that and then started to encourage other artist to join and encouraged these lost souls to publish more and comment more…..she would comment on no matter what….
Why….I think this girl just blossomed into a photo god, of sorts, according to her “contacts” anyway….I know they’re biased but what the hey….who ‘s not….
And the world continues to be a better place and “ photos….don’t go there darling~

yes I found it! the original photo of Johannes in his skeletal jump-suit :)
previously I only had the negative...
well the story is something like this: me and Johannes, Amy, Göran and Christan where all trainees (or prao, pryo or whatever in Swedish)
we all worked at this art center, first we were handymen, painting walls, tearing down machinery, making the different old factory rooms ready for art, theater and music and all else cultural...
When the old factory facilities were ready for art and culture our roles switched to art-guides, art-minders, ushers and janitors...
on the opening day of the gallery part, Me and Johannes (the bloke on the image) was suppose to work as ushers, ushering in random people walking on the street below, like going up to people saying: Hello, we have just opened a new art-gallery please feel free to visit us...
Johannes came to work in this suit and old thing (that was actually glow-in-dark) a thing I guess he created for some of his art-happenings or something like that...
He was suppose to take the first round on the street and I was planned as being the minder watching the artist paintings and guide them in the gallery...
when one of my many bosses Rosie came to work, she saw Johannes in his skeletal suit trying to get people to visit, she was terrified since as she thought he made less people actually come in and visit us, she came up to me and said that we had to switch places, so that is the story on how I did the ushering in stead of Johannes...
Rosie saw me as less intimidation to people with my indian shirts, spock (the Vulcan) haircut and more low-key persona (at that time)
...really I think that time on the factory/art gallery was one of my most interesting work I have ever done, getting to know Great friends Like Christian and Johannes, meet all the different artists and performers, even my trip with one of my bosses to Berlin (to transport some art back there) the only thing missing was me having a wage... but then again all that fun was actually worth any money :)
Peace and Noise!

Monday at Tracy Parks' home and the girls are frantically trying to get everything set for the Christmas Eve party tomorrow... and having mixed results.
"URF!"
"I... I can't reach that... lift it higher..."
"What am I, Gooliope?"*
"Wait, who turned on the lights? They're getting hot to hold!"
"I turned them on!"
"WHY??"
"You said the whole string of lights was heavy so I turned them on to make them lighter!"
"..."
"..."
"BRIAR!!"
"Okay, everyone calm down! We're prepping to celebrate the birth of our Savior, so stop fussing. Jesus thoughts!"
KLUNK!
"GAH! The chair fell out from under me! HAAALLLP!"
Tracy sighs, but smiles. God has blessed her with such good friends that minor catastrophes like this just make it all the more fun. The decorations will eventually get in place. More friends will come tomorrow, and the Lord Jesus will be celebrated.
"Hey, guys, listen up! 'But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”**'
"Oh, cool, that's the Charlie Brown Christmas Special!"
"That's Luke 2, you doof!"
"HAHAHA!"
"Maybe we should pray before continuing. So, you know, Briar doesn't fall and the house doesn't burn down."
"Do we need to hold hands?"
"No! Everyone, PUHLEEZ, stay where you are. Now, Tracy, pray for us."
"Thank you, Buckley. Lord God, we thank you for this wonderful time together. We ask that you bless our efforts so that the celebration tomorrow is happy and, most of all, glorifying to you. And Father, we thank you for-"
"...kinda holding on here..."
"-and thank you Father, and don't let Briar fall, amen!"
"AMEN!"

A year of the shows and performers of the Bijou Planks Theater.
We celebrate seven days of Christmas 2024! Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. God come to save His people. Without Christmas, without the Incarnation of the virgin birth, the work of Christ would not have begun and we would have no hope.
Born in lowly, despised conditions, lived a life of poverty and struggle, brutally executed on a cross. This is not how we would have written the story of our Redeemer, but that's because we always fatally miss the reality of the vast difference between our sin and God's holiness. We think we're 'not that bad' and thus we fail to recognize the distance that must be bridged and thus the harsh magnificence of the required exchange.
Jesus was born to die that we may live. If you have not, seek God and beg His mercy today.
"But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’" Luke 18:13

The real brave hearts and heros of Chadar Trek (Zanskar Valley). As per a legend, people from Zanskar valley are blessed by a Saint to be safe while travelling in Zanskar valley.
Zanskar Valley, Leh.
Hedgehog rescued by my daughter, it was crossing the street when we drove by.
We stopped and my daughter used the sleeves of her coat to carry the hedgehog to a safe place far away from traffic.
She still finds it hard to smile since she has metal braces on her teeth, but she finally agreed posting her picture.
Have a great week!
Colossians 3:17 NKJV
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father through Him.----------------------------------------------------------As we go through life, we have many decisions to make daily.
Work, school, and chores all require some actions and decision making.
Remember W.W.J.D. ( what would Jesus do)? To test ourselves on this, we should ask these questions:
Can I do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ?
Would this be to His glory?
Could I expect His blessing to rest on it?
Would I want to be doing it when He comes back again?
When we apply this test to our own words and actions, we may find some things that need changing. [ Romans 13: 13-14]
Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lust.------- What business does a Christian have with revelry, drunkenness, lewdness, lust, strife, and envy? The answer is none!
Sinful actions and sinful attitudes all start with a single thought. [ James 1:14-15]
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.----
Sow a thought- reap a habit.
Sow a habit- reap a lifestyle.
Sow a lifestyle- reap a destiny.
What will your destiny be? The choice is yours to make.
You can choose to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, submit your life to Him and enjoy a growing relationship that will take you into Heaven to spend eternity with God.
You can choose to embrace the world and its views. Reject Christ and spend eternity in Hell separated from God.
If you are a believer, do not let the worlds temptations make you play the hypocrite.
If you are not a believer, I urge you to choose wisely!

View of Griboyedov Canal in Saint Petersburg, Russia, April 2006. The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, with its colorful onion domes, stands prominently at the end. Flanking the canal are classic multi-story buildings, notable for their pastel facades. Cars line the street alongside the canal, and the still water reflects the church and buildings, enhancing the symmetrical architecture. Overcast sky creates a muted ambiance across the urban landscape.

Transparent Watercolors, Colored Pencil, Black Ink Pilot Pen over Graphite Pencil on White Watercolor Paper. The photo I used was not my own work. It was from a Church Passion Play photo that I downloaded from the internet. I don't exactly know who to credit for that. The rest of the designs were all mine, and I did make this art. It was commissioned by an insurance agent. It was going to be a mothers day present for his Mom. Jesus Christ was about healing and Peace! In fact, he was and is the "Prince of Peace!" So, I'm also saying, "Peace!" I want to be like him because he's my Savior!
