A passenger getting off an Astoria-bound N-train has spotted me and is giving me the victory sign :-)
Queensboro Plaza station...
The Victory Monument is located on 35th and Martin Luther King Jr Drive in the historic district of Bronzeville in Chicago, a few blocks from where I lived for over a decade. Even though many things have changed since I've been gone, it felt good being in a familiar territory. Home is always home.
A very well photographed old boat but I have not seen many shots of it when the tide is in.

Eastbound CSX Q348 eases through the small, picturesque town of Mount Victory, OH with a rare UP SD40N leader. The train will hold the siding just east of town, allowing a hot Q008 to run around before continuing on towards Crestline.
As it was raining I decided to visit the museum in town. It has a real mummy all the way from Egypt! My dog Tige really liked the mummy and kept trying to jump up on the table.
VICTORIAN EDWARDIAN AMERICAN THEMED SIM. It is somewhere in time, being 1890-1914. All welcome.

While photographing the sun rising over Patoka Lake, I heard the sound of birds rustling in the trees above. As I stepped away to get a better angle, I noted this little guy scurrying around the tree jumping frantically from limb to limb. His action/reaction made me think that on this morning, breakfast may be a little more difficult to find.
Just as I drew down on this perfectly preened, not a feather out of place little guy with my lens to get a picture, he did the unthinkable…he jumped head first into a large Tent caterpillar colony! I stood and shivered as the web stretched side to side much like a mothers stomach as the baby rolls in the final days of pregnancy. It wasn’t the worms that bothered me…it was the webs full of caterpillar droppings that freaked me out to my core.
It was then that one of my favorite verses from one of my favorite songs sung as a child in church popped into my head…translating quickly to my tongue as I said aloud the fourth verse to Andy Williams’s song “The Impossible Dream.”
“To fight for the right
without question or pause,
to be willing to march
into hell for a heavenly cause.”
Now I know it was hunger and not a “Heavenly cause,” but in my opinion this little guy jumped into hell without pause. When he emerged some time later, looking like hell but holding victory high in the air, I had to smile and capture the moment. A hard fought victory and breakfast for him, happiness in finding out that something eats Tent caterpillars for me.

S.S. Lane Victory
San Pedro, CA
11-18-23
From Wikipedia:
"SS Lane Victory is an American Victory-class cargo ship used in World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War. The ship was preserved in 1989 to serve as a museum ship in the San Pedro area of Los Angeles, California. As a rare surviving Victory ship, she was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
SS Lane Victory was named after Lane College, which was established as a high school for black youths in 1882 at Jackson, Tennessee, by Isaac Lane, a bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in America.
Lane Victory was built in Los Angeles by the California Shipbuilding Corporation and launched on May 31, 1945. On her first voyage, June 27, 1945, Lane Victory carried war supplies in the Pacific. "
The ship was deployed in the Korean and Vietnam Wars and is now a floating museum in the Los Angeles Harbor.
This is the bow of HMS Victory, which is being refurbished at the Dockyards in Portsmouth, England. She was Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship when he defeated the French fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Would have loved to see her in her entirety.

Thousands of people, mainly representatives of Berlin’s Russian population, met on 9 May 2020 at the Soviet Memorial in Treptower Park, marking 75 years since the Nazis' unconditional surrender. From the early hours of the morning until late in the evening, they commemorated the end of World War II and the countless victims of this devastating war.
There are hardly any veterans left who could tell about their wartime experiences. In the meantime, their grandchildren have taken over the conductorship in these celebrations, some of them with touching gratefulness and respect, some others in a rather playful tune. But there are also several illustrious and disconcerting individuals and groups who, under the guise of commemoration, are spreading nationalist, history-distorting and war-glorifying slogans. In the emotionally charged memory of a day when peace returned to Europe, they scatter the seeds of new conflicts and confrontations.
My photo story "Victory Day" documents an experience between emotion and scepticism, between grateful remembrance and exuberant party atmosphere.
Thanks for your visit, hope you enjoyed, kindly leave your comment that will be very rewarding .
Berlin Victory Column
From my archives, taken in Nov 2013 during visit to Berlin. I captured this image in a wet evening.
Berlin Victory Column is a monument in Berlin, Germany. Designed by Heinrich Strack, after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Danish-Prussian War, by the time it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873.
