If you saw my post from yesterday, then you know I was stuck in terrible traffic on Friday night. The reason I was trying to get out of the city was because my daughters new puppy Taiga was 8 weeks, vaccinated and ready to come home.
I haven't got her out for any proper photos yet, this was a pee stop on the way home. She isn't at all happy here with her new collar she was trying to scratch it off, hence her odd pose. I was hoping to get a few more photos but a lady came out and started yelling at me to leave, you see, I was apparently on private property! She wasn't even impressed with the cute little puppy.
Anyway, Welcome home Taiga and welcome to the family!
Uncle Beach/Oranjemolen
Grass-topped dyke, located east of the Oranje dyke mill. Former entrance to Slijk harbour, codenamed Uncle Beach by the Allied forces during the landing at Vlissingen.
The first British troops to land on Walcheren did so on the fortified seafront at Vlissingen. Less heavily defended beaches outside the town and east of the harbor were rejected, the ground being flooded and the wrong side of the Walcheren Canal. The landing site, codenamed Uncle Beach by the Allied forces, was south-east of the town centre, near the Oranje dyke mill, in the Eastern or Dock harbour.
Around the Oranjemolen the town of Vlissingen is planning to realize a World War II memorial site. At this site information will be provided about Vlissingen and the Walcheren region during World War II, the Battle of the Scheldt and the consequences of World War II for the civilian population.
This is for my uncle Och, who's not just family to me but also a great friend. I wanted to make more than a picture of a face. I wanted to create a portrait of a personality; of a heart. I hope you will like it.
You might have scars, even wounds and crow's feet at the corner of your eyes but this doesn't detract from your beauty. Quite the contrary, it adds to it. It gives you a depth in personality, that cannot be gasped without experiencing it. I rarely ever met such a humble and kind heart. You're underestimated, possibly by others, but also by yourself. Remember how special you are, for yourself but also for the people around you. If you lose sight of yourself, let me be your mirror. Here you are. Standing upright in a blaze of light, with crow feet, blind eyes and blood dripping from your nose, with a dark past, only shining the brighter. Complete and most amazing.

Another shot of the forgotten Notch,MO. post office run by the venerable Uncle Ike,aka Levi Morrill till 1926.He was immortalized in the classic novel "The Shepherd of the Hills" by Harold Wright. It is listed on the National register of historic places, but has been abandoned....
"The Shepherd of the Hills" was later made into a popular movie in 1941 starring John Wayne and directed by Harry Hathaway. They would team up again for the classic "True Grit" many years later.

UP IG4SIB rolls Westward off the MacArthur Bridge in Downtown Saint Louis with a nice trio of locomotives on the head end. UP 7070 is in charge, followed by a couple of KCS Belle motors, an SD70ACe & AC4400CW. In this photo, the TRRA is in the process of removing what's left of the road structure on the Missouri side of the bridge. As of this posting, the rest of the road bridge is now gone, as is my vantage point from the old concrete approach ramp. Now, this space is just another parking lot being used for events, specifically the Cardinal's games.
Who knew Uncle Lyle's was such a hot spot? Throbbing base could be heard a block away, the only person on the street was me, but Uncle Lyle's was hopping! :-)

I haven't seen him for many years. We were so busy going around seeing friends that night. This was the only photo I took of him with my camera while he was driving me to meet another family friend.
The card got corrupted, and there is a big red band running across the lower part of the photo, fortunately I could still process the file and hide the red band under a cinematic crop.

Uncle's embrace.

A candid shot taken at a wedding reception, my young granddaughter sharing a happy moment with her Uncle, my first-born son. The original colour version works quite well, but the black and white version seems to focus on the emotion, and makes for a satisfying image.

My Uncle Perlie’s home he built on this farm, ca. 1930s. A farm I spent many summer days on working in his fields as a young boy along with my brother, cousins and many other young boys and girls from the general area. Also many comforting memories from days long ago…but I still don’t care for green beans if I have other options to eat…

I may have once
loved you, but years
have passed; wind
and dust fill the world,
obscure the Imperial
House. The pear orchard
our grandfathers planted,
long fallen, has blown
away like mist; man-size
trees by the Emperor's Tomb
seem skeletal in shadow;
winter grasses turn white
on slopes above the river.
The song is done, wind
strings and bird pipes cease:
at the height of joy, sorrow
follows with the moon's rising.
And I, a poor old man,
not knowing where to go,
must harden my feet
on the stone hills,
and trudge onward
toward the fading
light.
--Miguel deO
(after Tu Fu)

Portobello Rd, W11. Although I haven't lived in West London since about 1982, nomatter how much it changes I always feel at home in Portobello Rd.

How cool are these brightly coloured shades that line the roof of this Vietnamese Bar and Cafe in St.Kilda called Uncle.
They are also the ones featured in my latest Kombi shot: 9/100_Retro VW_Shades of Blue.
