This is Dana. I worked with her on some volunteer projects. Haven't seen her in a long time so I stuck her in this picture so I can she her again..:)
Still working from home. Kinda lonely but I'm saving a lot of money on gas. Restaurants are really struggling. But, oddly enough, a new one opened up on the east side last weekend. Three of us went there for the grand opening and ordered burgers. They asked how we wanted the meat and we all said medium well. All 3 came out well done..;) We ate them anyway. They had live music. Lots of Rolling Stones songs and Beatles so we didn't really worry about the food. I still don't like paying 14 dollars for a burger. Just seem like a lot to me, but I guess that's the way it is everywhere.

A beautiful walk on the Replana (in the neighborhood of Castalla , Alicante, Spain) with great views.
Something to make you laugh
When we first started getting into wildlife photography (and still struggling to tell the difference between a chicken and an Eagle) we noticed this 'brownish' bird occasionally exploding from the long grass., then flying off at high speed
Urmm.. was that a small raptor!?
Well no., it's actually a Skylark! durrr! well you have to learn these things!
Santiago Island has the biggest and longest lava flow, which is located in Sullivan Bay. Geologically speaking, this island is one of the most beautiful and unbelievable formations. The vast basaltic landscape performs smooth and unbroken surfaces with undulations and nods formed by the fluid lava that created the sculpture. It is located on the central west of the archipelago and is formed by two overlapping volcanoes. It is the 4th biggest of the Galapagos archipelago.
Struggling to get out these days, so here is one from the old catalogue. Cloud inversion over the Firth of Forth in Scotland
I, like this sunrise trying to get out from the clouds, am on the struggle bus with getting out and shooting some photos.
A trip to Halibut Point State Park in early 2021 had me diving back into my archives. This was originally posted and removed, but reworked slightly in Lightroom for some shadow control.

Genovesa Island, its sandy coral beach with a great viewpoint of the bay, is one of the Galapagos’ jewels. It is also known as the “Bird Island“ offering the opportunity to enjoy the most representative birds of Galapagos as: Puffball–chicks, white both yellow–crowned and lava herons, Red footed boobies contrasting with the Nazca booby and also the Swallow–tailed gulls, the only nocturnal gulls in the world that will be nesting at the cliff’s edge.

My tribute to Chester........(also from old account)
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
The infamous Tanigawa dake, the mountain having claimed the highest death toll in the history of mountain climbing.
Even a beautiful early summer day struggles to hide the dramatic nature of its many faces.
This image is a 900 megapixel panoramic stitch designed to be printed as an 8 meter wide high resolution mural.
Unfortunately the project for which it was taken will not see the light of day so here it is on Flickr! :-)
What are your associations when you hear the term "class struggle"? It is probably an educated guess that a lot of history will pop up, including that of the socialist and trade union movements and even that of Marxism and Communism. Can I invite you to widen the perspective and, as I would see it, to look at what goes really on in a lot of western societies, particularly that of the UK? What is happening here can indeed be described as class struggle, but it is not that coming from below. It is class struggle from above. It is the people of wealth who are using the political and legal systems of the modern state in order to gratify themselves and exclude the large majority from the benefits of their own work. Profits are invested wherever the most lucrative gains can be made, and this means that capital is being exported, not re-invested at home. Tax avoidance is another characteristic of class struggle from above, I probably don't need to go into details. You must also have noticed that over the last three decades work has become cheap. A generation ago, one earner (usually the husband) was able to sustain the life of a family, today, you would need two earners to do the same. And the jobs they would be having would be insecure too. In the UK, as in France as well, there is opposition to this process of continuously eroding the people's access to life's opportunities. In Britain, people are on strike for a very good reason.

Struggling along toward their end terminal in Channing, this 4 unit set of Milwaukee Road F's is going to make it one way or another having left Iron Mountain, Michigan not long ago - November 9, 1978.
Looks like not many trees have survived on this side of Blakiston Creek. Winter conditions must be harsh in the Rockies.
I am pretty sure that winter is over here. It has been a wee bit cold still here but getting better all the time.
Happy Saturday
Moved forward and renamed
The Ft Dodge to Waterloo local (L570) flying thru New Hardford, Iowa full of snow and with ditch lights out near sunset. They had just opened the main between Ft Dodge and Waterloo, and were the first train on this stretch of track since the overnight snowfall we had
Thanks to Scott Marsh for alerting me to this EB train. He got the same train at Sinclair, Ia a few miles West of me
