What is it that we are all looking for? Is it someone to love with all of the love we can muster up inside of ourselves? Is that the dream that we all dream? To find someone who will love us will all of the passion in their heart? Someone who will reciprocate the love that we give to them in every way?
Or is it really that we long to be appreciated for who we are... for what we are... for what we have overcome and for what we have achieved?
As I mature in years and in wisdom I understand that it's not too difficult a proposition to fall in love... it's more challenging to maintain that love and to keep the fire of pasion burning and the flames stoked with the growing together that results from the soft and tender shared moments in life... as I come to understand so much more about myself and the world... what I have come to understand is more than the quest for love... that obtaining a partner who appreciates you deeply and sincerely is the 'holy grail' of relationships.
There is no satisfaction so deep as to open yourself up to another human being in complete honesty and to have that person truly appreciate you.
To be appreciated is to be loved.
One of the initial views upon entering Upper Antelope Canyon, or Tsé bighánílíní, "the place where water runs through rocks" as named by the Navajo. The Antelope Canyons are located in the Navajo Nation and to visit the slot canyon you must use a tour guide that has been authorized by the Navajo.
The light and shadows combined with the curves and striations of the Navajo Sandstone make this a photographer's dream (at least mine) come true. In this image both the vertical and horizontal striations in the sandstone are visible. Despite the crowds and commercialization of these slot canyons, it's an experience I would not have wanted to miss.
A part of the finnish army is en route to Narvik. To meet up with the kriegsmarine and prepare for the invasion. But first they have to cross the border of Sweden ,which is neutral.

All breaks must come to an end, and thanks to the determination of some marvellously dedicated Flickroonies we are delighted that we’ll be resuming posts from today. Different volunteer contributors will be posting images supplied by ourselves, and responding to your comments, so play nice while they’re getting their virtual feet under the online table! Seriously, we’re so grateful to the community for making it possible to get going again, and looking forward to working together on this great project.

Driving along to Arthurs Pass in the South Island of New Zealand and I saw this sight. Tourist vans were stopping but they were happy snapping. I parked found a way through a fence and walked 1 kilometre to get underneath this beautiful mountain.
I shot this using the Firecrest 16 Stop Filter on my nikon D810. Processed in PS CC with a look that reminds me of a golden era in landscape photography.

Good-bye to Winter Hollow.
Although we'll leave the build up (for awhile), with Snowdrift and her lovely sleigh of white coasting through the landscape, the ponies and circus horse performer will be gone after today.

With the chilly wind continuing to blow and the sun having gone to bed early, Sanders former J Fishwick of Leyland Wright bodied VDL SB200 type number 402 - YH63 CXF is captured on an otherwise deserted Station Approach in Sheringham as it works the above service 44A journey. Vehicle 402 provided my transport back home to Crab Town.

According to the friendly lawnmower-man, Monkredding was empty and for sale when I visited, although I believe it has since sold.
From round the back, it is a bit easier to to see the fortified origins of the building. The block to the right, with the power line running to it, was built in two stages in the early 17th century, together with the round tower. The round tower has unfortunately been greatly raised in height, to unsightly effect! It gives the appearance of having been fed steroids, or Viagra perhaps!
Everything else is more recent.
I was sad to hear of the closure of old-established independent Lambert's Coaches of Beccles at the end of July. At the end the fleet comprised a mixed bag of DAF, Volvo and Scanias, most with Van Hool Alizee T9 coachwork. Back in 1999, on the 30th October, their Bova Futura 856 GKH was found in London. Despite its initial Surrey registration (A585 GPE), it was one of a pair of very early Futuras supplied new to Seamarks in 1984 and disposed of the following year.
Walking back to West Kirby from Hilbre Island as the tide starts to come in. Taken under a full moon.
The last of the photos from Hilbre Island at night for now. i kind of screwed up with my settings for most of the shots. i knew it was going to be a full moon but i had my camera set up to capture stars more than anything, stupid mistake really with the moon being full(to much light to capture lots of stars) ah well you learn. i'm hoping to go back before the clocks go forward on a moonless night for maximum stars(and not getting home past midnight!)
It's tricky to just shoot one active subject.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F14, 1/250, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key on a Kaiser Adjustable Flash Shoe and "B" as the fill). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
I cut an Eggplant flower and used gaffers tape to secure it to a leaf so it would be in a good position and I'd have something to keep the background from being black. When they started feeding I wrapped my left hand around behind the leaf to keep it steady and then rested the lens on that same hand. Video of the "studio" youtu.be/ouS4h35UMS0

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
Lyrics by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, 1971

I allowed the police to put me in the cell, I didn't feel like I needed to break free, there would of been nothing there when I would of gotten home. They put in one of the holding cells for the night and told me to get some rest, but I didn't. They took all of my guns and gear, I let them. The other cell mates shouted things at me, telling me they were going to kill me, I believed them. The next day I was put into a police van, the journey took two hours. I didn't know where I was going, but I did know that it would probably be the last time that I would see Gotham. When the van stopped, the police escorted me to an old building, pushing their way through the flood of the press. All of the journalist shouting "Mr Lawton! What do you have to say about being the world's greatest assassin?"I just stared at them. When I got inside I realized where I was, a court. This was obviously not one of Gotham's court, this one was clean. The police put me into the witness stand, whilst the judge came in. Then the court case begun. It started of with them listing all of my crimes the past few years, twenty seven cases of murder, sixty two cases of assault and one hundred and thirty five cases of robbery. I could of sworn I did more. Then came the prosecutor, blabbering on about what sentence I should get. I did not listen to what he had to say though, my mind was some place else.n my head was just a image of Blaze taking of her mask and underneath being Katrina, I was so sure it was. Bang! Went the judges hammer, waking me up from my dream. "I know declare," he began to say "that you Floyd Lawton, shall be sentenced to death, but the electric chair!" The crowd gasped in fear, shock, horror. I had no reaction, in fact I felt like I wanted to die, after all, what did I have left?
Hope you like it :D

- I saw you standing in the corner, on the edge of a burning light..I saw you standing in the corner..Come to me again, in the cold, cold night..You make me feel a little older, like a full grown woman might but when youre gone I grow colder, come to me again in the cold, cold night..I see you walking by my front door, I hear the creaking of the kitchen floor..I dont care what other people say, Im going to love you, anyway..Come to me again in the cold, cold night..I cant stand it any longer, I need the fuel to make my fire bright so dont fight it any longer..Come to me again, in the cold, cold night..And I know that you feel it too, when my skin turns into glue, you will know that its warm inside and youll come run to me, In the cold, cold, night

Made for my sons and husband to take to a pot-luck dinner with their sailing buddies. I had no end of trouble getting these to look nice outlined! My sons thought using sugar for the sand was a cool idea, and were generally very happy with the cookies.

Being wanting to try a star trail photo for a while, finally got a clear night so grabbed the opportunity. This is my first attempt and due to a mis-understanding on how my interval timer worked, I ended up with a gap in the middle of the trails, the moon also encroached into the frame near the end. Things to remember for next time. The hardest part was standing in the cold for so long, I think I will take a flask with me next time.
The two very bright stars on the bottom right of the sky are actually planets, Venus on the bottom and Saturn on the top. This is taken from the island of Vigra in Norway, with the small island of Erkna visible.

There's a story here - I encountered these two on their way home from fishing and spearfishing: note the catch in the bucket. But what fascinated me most - besides the fact that no kid in my culture would be allowed to head off to the sea to spearfish without serious adult supervision - was the goggles. They were handmade, from wood: you can see the pressure point that's been dented into the taller kid's forehead by it.
And, damn, I loved the intensity of his mate :-)

This is the memorial to not one but two mining disasters at Auchengeich. In 1931 six miners were killed by an explosion - a number of their comrades tried to go back to save them, but were overcome by fumes and had to be rescued themselves.
The second disaster was in 1959, when 47 men were trapped by a blaze, a thousand feet below the surface of the Earth. So severe was the fire and smoke (most were overcome by the smoke, it is thought) that the rescue attempts could not get close, and eventually they were left with no choice but to flood the put to dowse the flames.
47 men gone just like that, dozens of families shattered. My mother was a wee girl when it happened, but she remembered some of the children whose family members were in the pit being taken out of school, wailing and screaming their grief. The history books like to talk about the Great Events - the Industrial Revolution, exploration, empire and all of that, but often neglects that everything was built on the broad backs of men who laboured in such dangerous conditions for little reward.
Tucked away in a frozen corner of our province and only known to a few, lest we forget.

i met Esther yesterday and we spent a lovely evening with taking pictures and eating chocolate creme :) She then slept over at my flat: Having an own flat means also endless freedom and inviting friends for lovely evenings or sleepovers whenever you want :)
i can´t tell you how blessed i feel to meet constantly new, creative people who are always incredibly kind. it´s hard to say good bye then at the next morning, you never know if you´ll see the person again (soon).
P.S.
This was actually taken in my small and dark kitchen :D we used it as a kind of a "studio"
Credo in te, amico.
Credo nel tuo sorriso,
finestra aperta nel tuo essere.
Credo nel tuo sguardo,
specchio della tua onestà.
Credo nella tua mano,
sempre tesa per dare.
Credo nel tuo abbraccio,
accoglienza sincera del tuo cuore.
Credo nella tua parola,
espressione di quel che ami e speri.
Credo in te, amico,
così, semplicemente,
nell'eloquenza del silenzio.
I believe in you, friend.
I believe in your smile,
open window in your being.
I believe in your eyes,
mirror of your honesty.
I think in your hand,
always intended to give.
I believe in your embrace,
sincere acceptance of your heart.
I believe in Your word
expression of what you love and hope.
I believe in you, friend,
so simply
the eloquence of silence

Travel to Boa Vista (Cap Vert) - January 2023 - Visite de l'ile de Boa Vista en 4x4
Partez a la decouverte de paysages luxuriants et laissez-vous charmer par la beaute intacte de Boa Vista lors de cette excursion en 4x4 reservees aux adultes. Ne negligez rien en visitant le desert de Viana et l'epave du Cabo de Santa Maria, avant d'explorer Povoacao Velha. Vous pourrez egalement dejeuner dans un restaurant de bord de mer.
Le plaisir commence au desert de Viana. Vous pourrez sentir le vent dans vos cheveux alors que vous grondez sur les dunes de sable en 4x4. Vous partirez ensuite a la decouverte de l'epave rouillee du Cabo de Santa Maria, un symbole de Boa vista. Chamine de Chaves est notre prochain arret, avant de ralentir le rythme avec un dejeuner dans un restaurant de bord de mer.
La prochaine etape est Povoacao Velha, le plus ancien village de l'ile. Vous faites un tour dans la petite ville pour vous faire un apercu de la vie locale, avant de continuer vers le dernier arret : la plage de Santa Monica. Avec ses dix-huit kilometres de sable blanc et ses dunes ondulees, il n'est pas etonnant que cette bande de sable ait ete elue parmi les dix meilleures du monde.
This is the entrance to the subway, S-Bahn, at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin.
The time is November 28, 1975. I am looking through the iron gate at the brick wall. The subway ran underneath the East and West sides and those stations on the East side were closed (ghost stations) and the train did not stop there. Although this picture is taken on the west side of the wall it is still within the political territory belonging to the east, or Soviet sector. This explains why there is a 25-30 foot cleared area west of the wall. I had no idea until 2008 and the help of Allhails that I was standing inside the East boundary when this photo was taken of me.
Note the pre-war subway sign. The wire hanging down was to illuminate the circular green "S" sign.
Being here was eery. I felt caught in time. Here I was standing in pre World War II Berlin while above and below me the the Cold War (and wall) raged on in the 70's. This new version of the wall had only recently been completed.
The next picture in the stream shows what the area, Potsdamer Platz, looked like or click here:

If you want to see this location in 1959 or 60 see this pic:

If the pictures of the early wall interest you be sure to see Allhails photostream. He has two sets - one just before the wall (Berlin, 1959 and 1960) and one just after showing the first make-shift wall built (Berlin, 1962 and 1964):
Sorry to post and run off... Things have been so hectic. I had a few moments to edit some photos I took at my grandparent's house tonight. It makes me feel a little better to get behind the lens...And coming on here to read everyone's supportive comments means so much to me.
Anyway, for those who have been keeping up, my grandfather hasn't ate/drank anything for the past several days (he is diabetic so it's a wonder he's hung on this long). We went to visit him again today... It's most heart-wrenching seeing him there like that and knowing there's nothing I, or anyone else, can do. He's never done anything to anyone to deserve this. The caretakers have given him a few days to a week max. Please keep him in your thoughts/prayers that he is comfortable and at peace as much as possible in his last moments.
