I don't do portraits often, but I have a few from my last trip to Ethiopia that I like. I uploaded the first version - where the woman on the right is hiding her face - a while ago, but never got around to posting the one where she finally faced the camera. This was the fist time she had her picture taken (actually not just her, other women in this group too) and afterward we spent a long time looking at all the pictures on camera screen, zooming in and out and in again. And they laughed a lot. I wish I could print it right there and leave with them, but it was not an option.
The first version is in the comments.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Late in the morning, a year ago, I and my Nikon headed for Michigan's Portland. We had a specific photo in mind; we wanted to photograph the remnant of a millrace that used to supply power to--something. I really don't know Portland's history that well.
Nonetheless, the camera found a usable photo, though not exactly the one we'd planned. I posted that later in the day. The pic shows a hole that age and water had worn in the millrace wall. Things get old.
The camera and I then made today's photo, which was taken just a few feet north of the other. This image shows some trees and lawn at Two Rivers Park.
==========
The trips to and from Portland were via dirt roads. In both directions I found photos on Tupper Lake Road.

Other photos taken on 10/9/2024: On my way out of town I discovered Mulliken's Main Street was blocked by a cement truck; they were working on repairs to the King Kone sewer failure. I took one photograph, for some reason using my phone instead of my Nikon 1. Then I detoured on Railroad and North Streets, and continued on my way.
Neither E8A locomotives or steam locomotives are common sights on the railroads anymore, but for one moment they shared the spotlight in Hubbard, Ohio, as the excursion train on the left passed the steamer on static display. I don't know the background or heritage of the steam engine.
A Red-bellied Woodpecker and a Northern Cardinal share the space at the feeding station just outside my window.
A wonderful chance encounter between two different generations of Northern Counties-bodied rear-engined double-deckers on Greenleach Lane in Worsley. On the right is preserved Lancashire United 97 (561 TD), a 1962 Daimler Fleetline, parked up for a photo stop on an enthusiasts’ tour and displaying route 12 for Bolton. Meanwhile, former GM Standard Atlantean, 4549 (ANA 549Y) in the First Manchester fleet, passes by on service on the same route.

'it takes two ' bronze sculpture by Gillie & Marc. At Indooroopilly Shopping Centre. Rather amusing I thought. Especially the mug of coffee.
2/52 - under the same sun
will you be there when the day's done
will you be there
under the same, under the same sun
under the same, under the same sun

When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly
