Then and Now
View allAll Photos Tagged THEN,
I had been shut out for 5 nights in a row on this trip and was willing to shoot anything at this point. As I was running around to the different viewpoints on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon looking for some open sky, I rounded the corner along the drive and hit the brakes for a quickie. :) I set up one light panel quickly and snapped 3 shots then jumped back in and off I went. I used a cooler white balance than usual on this one at around 3200. :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend everybody!! :)

This was intended to be part of the Stand Up for Peace Challenge last week but it took me a bit to figure out :D It's about the best homage I could to the Indian Holi Festival. For those that don't know and in short it's basically a festival to celebrate love. After I thought about the challenge a bit, I got to thinking: standin up for peace is awesome, but even better if you just applied this to all aspects of your life. Stop hating on others and stop hating on yourself. If everyone took a grip more time putting others before their own insecurities, then maybe there would be no need to stand up for peace. Maybe we would already have achieved it.

This beautiful CANADIAN flew by me within a meter...the sound, the energy, the speed...the rush I felt was staggering...it was only for a few seconds...wow...and then it was gone..."STUNNING"...
These teeny, seemingly fragile, very beautiful little Rosemary flowers are on a little plant in a 4" pot in the greenhouse. Is at max 1:1 magnification and also taken in aps-c, so effectively 1.5x, but with a 1.0 d.o.f. and a bit of a crop thrown in.
They were pretty awkward to photograph - I took some photos first and then uploaded in order to get an idea of what they were like, which didn't really help that much as even with the 20x was difficult to tell what was what on these pretty complex flowers, then I took a lot of various little flowers and angles but only a couple worth keeping. A bit hit and miss to say the least :^)
Turning 50 this week. Can't believe that half a century has gone by!!! When you are in your twenties you never think you will reach this day!

In 1908, the Düsseldorf-based Central-trade-ssociation for Rhineland, Westphalia and neighbouring districts praised a competition for a fountain in front of the Düsseldorf Art Palace.
As a "figurative representation of the iron industry and the mining industry," it was to be sent to the 1902 on the site on the banks of the Rhine (then Kaiser Wilhelm Park, now Rheinpark) the industrial and commercial exhibition was held.
Among the 44 designs submitted, the jury, which was prominently occupied by the painter Fritz Roeber, the painter Georg Oeder, the architect Wilhelm Kreis and the Düsseldorf garden director Walter von Engelhardt, was Prize awarded, so also do not recommend a design for execution. It was initially planned to give the authors of the shortlisted drafts the opportunity to revise them in a second stage of competition (a closer competition).
The fountain was built in its original form between 1911 and 1913. While the Düsseldorf architect Gotthold Nestler designed the actual well complex, the sculptor Friedrich Coubillier created the three bronze figures "Schmied Vulkan," "Bergmann" and "Hüttenarbeiter." Miner and cottage worker are depicted in the loincloth. The bronze casting of the figures took place at the Kunstgießerei Lauchhammer.
On the occasion of the opening of the Grand Art Exhibition in 1913, the industrial fountain in front of the former Art Palace was inaugurated. In 1925 the fountain was dismantled there because of the extensive new buildings at the Ehrenhof.
In 1939, the three sculptures were erected in a new facility on Fürstenplatz in Friedrichstadt. In 1942 the figures were to be melted down as metal donations by the German people for armaments and were removed. However, they remained intact, and in 1950 they were restored.
...then in sharing our feelings about everything there is in the world...where we have found togetherness amongst a countless people yearning for peace...

Then to the rolling Heav'n itself I cried,
Asking, "What Lamp had Destiny to guide
"Her little Children stumbling in the Dark?"
And -- "A blind Understanding!" Heav'n replied.

Links das Reiterstandbild von Erzherzog Albrecht, rechts die Rückseite der Wiener Staatsoper
Yesterday, when I was leaving the Albertina Art Museum, where I had taken many photos, I saw this: the Archduke Albrecht Monument and the rear of the Vienna State Opera in the wonderful light of the Blue Hour. Taking pictures was an absolute must then!
Although three lines run to London from Dartford, nearly all freight uses the route via Sidcup which meets the mainline at Hither Green and then provides access to the South London Line via Lewisham. This is known as the Dartford Loop line.
A working that still operates in 2021 is pictured here. Cliffe, Angerstein Wharf and Dagenham all forward sea dredged aggregates by rail. Here, approaching New Eltham station is 7y94, the 10:00 Purley to Cliffe empties behind 33012 on 31st March 1988.

I like the way you sound in the morning. We're on the phone and without a warning, I realize your laugh is the best sound
I have ever heard
I like the way I can't keep my focus. I watch you talk, you didn't notice. I hear the words but all I can think is
We should be together..
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa, oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too.. 'Cause I'mma stay through it all..
So jump then fall
Well, I like the way your hair falls in your face. You got the keys to me, I love each freckle on your face, oh. I've never been so wrapped up, honey I like the way you're everything I ever wanted
I had time to think it all over
And all I can say is come closer
Take a deep breath then jump then fall into me. Cause every time you smile, I smile and every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa, oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to jump then fall.
Jump then fall into me. Baby, I'm never gonna leave you, say that you wanna be with me too.. 'Cause I'mma stay through it all.
So jump then fall
The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
When people say things that bring you to your knees
I'll catch you.
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you through the night until you smile
Whoa, oh, I need you baby
Don't be afraid, please,
Jump then fall. Jump then fall into me. Baby, I'm never gonna leave you. Say that you wanna be with me too 'Cause I'mma stay through it all.
So jump then fall
Jump then fall, baby,
Jump then fall into me, into me
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine and every time you're here
Baby I'll show you, I'll show you
You can Jump then fall, jump then fall. Jump then fall into me, into me, yeah
March 3 afternoon: The sky mostly cleared but the temperature continued to dip giving room for beautiful scenery concealing bitter cold wind. Still, such fluctuation in temperature is a new feature in our Canadian Winter. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Taken Friday morning with my 'new' phone, then processed in Topaz Studio with a texture of my own. The weather went downhill shortly after this, it poured down for the rest of the the day. It doesn't seem like we'll get a proper summer this year, here in the UK. Marnie and I visit this place nearly every day if I'm short of time, as it's so close to home. She gets what she needs, familiarity and a space to roam. I get a nice view down the stream with flowers, beautiful trees and the sight and sound of trickling water.
You know I usually like to put music to my images, so here's something beautiful you may not have heard or seen before.

Lie, awake
and Watching you run through my head
I'm alone again
but not for long my friend
We face, another day
And distance has come, and taken you far away again
but I'll see you soon my friend
and then I'll sing you my song
I can't
Go home alone again
No I can't
My friend
Until then
Eyes I recognize
Taken me back, familiar to me from some other time
or maybe another life
remember our time
and know who I am
the memory it stays until we can breath as one again
and I'm coming back my friend
and then I'll sing you my song
Oh yeah
I can't
go home alone again
No I can't
go home all alone again
no I can't
my friend
Until then

Henry Cat AKA No Bones Jones Happy Caturday he was napping until he heard the camera then he had ot mug some, he gets in weird position thus the "no bones Jones" nickname.
Harder to get then it looks: "Aw, it'll be an easy shot," I thought. Well, it wasn't. The ISO was set high, the lens was longish, the shutter speed was lowish, the safari car was not steady, the sun was coming up rapidly and the light was changing every second, and the giraffe was on the move. Those are my excuses. We had left Mara Bush Camp at 5:45 a.m. to begin our first day at Masai Mara National Reserve in southwestern Kenya. ©2022 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com

But we didn't wait.
And it came anyway.
Guess we were just lucky.

My shadow's, the only thing that walk beside me
My shallow's heart, the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till Then I Walk Alone...
