Simple sunset. Taken from Punta del Capo Sorrentto, nothing clever here just wait for the sun to float on the water, simple.
Can I get up in the moming
Put the kettle on
Make us some coffee, say "hey" to the sun...
Is it enough to write a song and sing it to the birds?
They'd hear just the tune
Not understand my love for words
But you would hear me and know
I want only this, I want to live
I want to live a simple life.

Wishing you all a happy weekend.
Hydrangea blooms randomly placed in a Ball Jar make me happy :-) I used a few of my own textures to soften the background.
thanks for your visits and I wish you all a good day,,,,,,
Just a simple sitting room with a couple art pieces. I made the ‘coffee table’ using resin and a child’s teacup. The hanging art pieces are mini versions of photos I took in Venice. The mirrored table is hard to see, but I saw a table like this in Venice with boots on each leg……lots of $$$$$$. The glass pitchers remind of the Murano glass factories and the balloon dog is a memory of the Jeff Koons gallery in Venice.
It's the simple things, like watching the water run in the creek, or seeing the forest rejuvenating itself... those fill my heart with joy.
While the train was simple, Marquette Rails Santa trains meant everything to the communities and the employees put a lot of time and effort into the trains to make them go off without a hitch. The first couple years the train consisted of GMTX 2635, hopper 7000, boxcar 1009 and caboose 3158 with MQT logos on the sides of each and decorated with lights, garland and wreathes. This entire consist is made up one once off MQT equipment, the 2635 was the only GMTX unit to get the MQT logo and lettering on the side, the 7000 was the only hopper to get the same treatment, the 1009 was the only boxcar out of a fleet of almost 200 to get the MQT Monon logo on it and the caboose was MQT's only caboose.
The train would cover the entire railroad in one day, here in some fresh snow the train slows for the next stop behind me in the small village of Scottville. The train would make a short stop here followed by Ludington before the sun would go down. The entire Manistee sub would be in the cover of darkness with the train tying up at Manistee in a few hours.
Symbolic of my desire for simpler times. Yea I yearn for a time void of loss, chaos, devision, and pandemic. And as 2020 comes to a close, it's seemingly nothing more than a precursor to 2021 rather than the year to forget. Echos of new norms and a new administration is little more than fuel on an already hot embers. And the wind blows on making containment problematic. Countries abroad must wonder what the hell is going on in the US. Have we gone mad? Is common sense as common as we commoners once thought?
Because life is not a destination but a journey, you are not crossing over but going along with me. Hold on tight love, no matter what may come, we'll enjoy the sweetness out of it, together~~
These are a section of bicycle rentals I photographed while out on a photo walk with some new flickr friends.
We are so enjoying the quiet after the holidays. Soup, bread and our Wildcats playing on tv. Perfect afternoon.
Do you know what "hikifakcava" means? That's a Lebanese way to tell someone, Hi, how are you?
This one simple sentence (or shall I say a mutant-word), consisting of 3 different words, in 3 different languages - Hi (English), kifak (how are you/Arabic), ca va (French), fully expresses the lingvo-cultural diversity in Lebanon.
This tiny land is a mix of all confessions, cultural and ethnic groups otherwise scattered throughout the Middle East. Christian Maronite, Greek Orthodox, Melkite and Protestants, Muslim Sunnis, Alawites, Ismailis, progressive Muslims and Druze. Add to this work immigrants from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and all over Africa.
When you ask a simple question to a random passer by, he first answers you in Arabic (they say I look like a local), and when you say your Arabic is very limited, they ask "Engish? French?". And when they know I'm Armenian, they'll always find a word or two in my native language to say :)
Sometimes, though, these utterly nice, hospitable, kind people make wars. And they kill each other because of religion, ethnicity, and anything else they can think of. The last civil war in Lebanon lasted from 1975 to 1990, and took lives of around 250,000 people. All Lebanese.
Now, to the positive side.
They call Beirut "The Paris of Middle East". It's been continuously inhabited for more than 5000 years now. It still bears traces of French colonization, not only in language, but also in architecture. Beirut is unlike any other Middle Eastern capital in being very liberal and culturally progressive. More than anything, Beirut is about arts, expressing one's ideas through street paintings, graffiti and music. We came across these stairs on a random street, while having a walk. We then spotted few more, with different patterns and colors.
Before we traveled to Beirut from Amman, a colleague told me, "Everyone loves Amman until they visit Beirut". And "You'll either hate it, or love it forever".
I love Beirut.
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!

I love how most places in Europe have glass soda bottles
I wish we still had them here in America. (I mean, I know we have those special, vintage-edition ones at supermarkets but they are expensive, whereas in Europe, they're just the standard)
and also, everything tastes better in a glass bottle. Fact.
