Nomad seems to have lost the helicopter when he made his way into the sewer system that was below a nearby overpass. It’s time to go. A lead has led him to another city anyway. It’s been a little over a year since he’s seen her, since they took her, since they got away with it. “I’ve got to follow the clues, expose them,” he mumbles.

He tilts his head downward and to the left, looking behind him without turning his head. He counts six on the left, 3 on the right. They’re closing in. Not to cause a scene he starts to ditch in and out of the alleyways. Making his escape slowly and quietly. He notices after some slick maneuvering that he only sees about 3 people in viewing range, though others could be around still. I’m sure they have an communications system in their ear, they all do.

Nomad walks in through the front of a burger-joint and walks out the back door. Two men in the back of the restaurant approach him, one with a gun. He quickly with two quick hand movements removes the weapon from the man on the right and pistol whips the man on the left with it knocking him out. Still holding the hand of the man on the right he pulls him into him as he kicks the man’s shin breaking a bone and sending him to the ground. Another swift kick to the head and both men are unconscious. Nomad walks off briskly looking from side to side. He places the gun in the back of pants expecting the elastic to keep it from falling.

He walks down a backstreet on the side of a pizzeria. Out from behind the building come an agent. Taller than Nomad, more muscular than him as well. He takes a swing at Nomad, Nomad is too quick for him as he bobs and weaves away from his opponent. One swing, one flush connect from Nomad’s left uppercut and the big man goes down, hitting his head on the concrete steps behind him. Blood starts to ooze out the back of the man’s head. “Ha I’m one punch man,” Nomad jokes as he takes off slipping into the night. He doesn’t get captured; he escapes easily.

Nomad starts his journey to the next city. “That was close. Need to end this!”

Pittosporum Flower

I spotted the remains of this Pittosporum flower today. With the petals gone it measures around 5mm long.

You remember that tree? Yes, it had that shape. I loved going there.

16/9 aspect recommendation by @Valter D.

Go baby go! Actually when I ride it's more like when I was a kid, looking around, exploring, talking to people and well now days stopping to take pictures.Everyone passes me, old ladies, little children...that's okay.

Nothing like a fresh glass of white wine on a warm evening. Cheers!

I've got that sinking feeling... St. David, AZ.

Tune

I am sure this is something that happens to other people, not just me. You see something and immediately a song pops up in your mind. I was wandering in the streets of Chora in Serifos and as I took a turn and walked in this alley I felt a strong wind gust from behind. The closed windows of the 2 houses started creaking and I instantly remembered the lyrics of this Greek old song where the singer says that he feels like the wind passing through the city's streets making the closed windows creak . It was so quiet and so peaceful on that mid September evening in Chora. Its streets were empty and the sound of the windows didn't bother me at all. I stayed there to enjoy that moment and absorb everything through my eyes and ears. White walls, colorful windows, the sound of creaking and a nice and refreshing breeze. Perfection. Happy Window Wednesday everybody.

Αύρα εσπερινή - Δημήτρης Παναγόπουλος

www.youtube.com/watch?v=prXZENGUzZY

And here are the lyrics in English:

As I walk out of your door

I will see the round sun

wearing your beautiful last smile

I will wish you good morning

then I will leave, I will be lost

and maybe you will only see me again in your dreams

Because I am the air that passes

in the city's alleys

and makes the closed windows creak

Because I am an evening aura

I am a breath clean and alive

which makes the tilted window shutters rustle

I am leaving to go high on the mountain

and then I will fall off the cliff

as I sway in the depths and the heights

And in silence I carry

an unruly cry

and some unspeakable hope that you have hidden

Thank you so much for the cover, I very much appreciate it

I was shooting in the mountains north of Tucson, Az this week and it was fabulous! Caught this fearless lady climbing up the mountain. I have a very short video clip of it on YouTube #iphonepromax

You have no idea how much planning the synchronized propellers took!

All was still at Rapjohn Lake, I don't recall hearing a sound. There was no one there to see me, but I probably looked pretty foolish tiptoeing around trying not to break the enchantment. :-) Happy Sunday folks, and thanks for stopping by.

Manipulated many times until I found what I wanted.

Sethi when he noticed that I wanted to take a photo. Nowadays it's quite hard to believe that he was a kitten who really enjoyed being photographed and loved all the attention he got during a photoshoot.

On dreary days it's comforting to know that this is near my doorstep and I can't wait for the next visit.

Some say that Nature adapts to cohabitation with our human species. We instead, should realize that We are the ones who have to react, adapt and accept. Nature has the real power and providence over the earth, sky and earth. And water always wins.

~Tom Cousteau Handy from "Deep Thoughts About Sandbars"

A great musical example of reacting to changes in tempo, tone and atmosphere.

Thats how you would describe the crops in the fields around here just now - just on the turn, some being harvested, others like this one with a pleasing stripe up the middle where the footpath goes- and of course my two hairy companions to enhance it! #FlickrFriday #Field

Hereabouts in Suffolk, the R tends to be left out of certain words, hence the wheat is on the 'tun' with the 'chuch' in the background!

This Skipper opened its wings a little today while feasting on a Dandelion. I am still only seeing one at a time. Better images will come when they are in pairs.
