A shining star died, and from that day we are trying to understand life.
I spent a month taking care of my bro. I failed, very likely.
I spent another month taking care of us. I failed, probably.
I am waiting for the following day, from flop to flop, but I don't care. Now I expected the unexpected, and nothing is going to wipe the smile off my face.
Just playing around with long exposures in the daytime.
This is a 26 second exposure in the middle of the day at Milang, South australia.
I used a 10 stop Hoya neutral density filter plus a Hoya 9 stop variable neutral density filter set at 5 stops.
I could have gone longer as I did not realize my ISO was still at 250 and aperture was f8.0.
It was very windy and the water took on a very muddy look.
Given the locomotive's unexpected motorsport connections, I couldn't resist a shot of Glyder receiving some pit stop style swift attention from it's crew.
Taken for the P&ARP assignment 'People and Railways'
10th July 2023.
*Glyder was once owned by Tony Hulman (owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway home of the Indy 500.
I wish! :)
This belongs to my little nephew. He was so happy that I was using it. A bit too happy 'cause he forced me into taking pictures of his other toys too.
I can probably count the number of times I've used a 6 stop filter on one hand and that excludes the thumb. This is partly because I'm too lazy to calculate the amount of time required most often resorting to guesswork but also because I never seem to find the right kind of image in the right kind of light. Today was slightly different however, the trees were still, the mist was rising, the water swirling and there was really only one thing preventing me from having a go...I was on a barge! 9 shots straight in the trash but this one crept through.
Thank you for pausing :)

Just had a wonderful few days up in the Lake District, a place I have always wanted to visit, the weather was okay and we were able to get up through the Hardknott Pass, this view is from the top of the pass looking south
Beautiful Poem- Stop and smell the flowers

SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

I am back home, after a trip with some complications.
I got hit by the third snowstorm while travelling within the past 6 weeks, what are the odds?
The first delayed my arrival in the US by one day, the second would have almost got me stuck on the highway when taking a bus to Detroit and now the third that almost got me stuck in Chicago. Luckily, it only delayed me by 6 hours.
Now its time to get adjusted back to german time. At least germany is at least a tad warmer than the U.S. =)
Today shot is one that I took on 5th Ave in NY, and I especially enjoyed the tension that was created by the smoke. Yes, that is real smoke =)
This was a fantastic storm that chased me from Madison, Nebraska to Fremont.
The storm just rolled along as you could hear the thunder clap across the plains at each stop I made to shoot a few photos, then blaze on ahead of it.
Good times
A stop sign on 45th Street, in Savannah, Georgia..... The very last one in Savannah... And, doubtless pretty rare elsewhere.... Used in the early twentieth century, until the familiar red stop sign on a post was adopted almost everywhere.
One wonders if this little sign made anyone stop....but vehicles were slower then..!
I have finished loading and making public all the photos in my album of Wormsloe State Park Plantation.... A great place to visit... Very near Savannah.... And I will put this photo in that album.... To give you an easy link.
