The battle is on. I'm a keen observer.

We were playing chicken as I was standing my ground to get the shot - lucky for me he swerved around ;-)

Painted on the wall by the back door of our vacation rental. This was such a wonderful place to stay!

Op 8 juli 2005 arriveerde Railion 6441 met een viertal fabrieksnieuwe reservebakken VIRM in Amersfoort.

So, this is the last of my Pip-verse Justice League.... Yup. Totally didn't make a Flash and forget to edit him...

 

(I'll get to it eventually... Maybe.)

 

Anywhoozlesworth, Aquaman. I didn't want to make him all manly and bearded and, ya' know, Thor-like. My goal was to make it look at least somewhat like his classic costume while being modern-looking as well.

 

So, story...

 

I'm thinking he's a marine biologist, 'cuz I don't know Aquaman's original origin. xP While exploring a sunken city he finds a golden trident. Upon pulling it out the city comes back to life and the residents declare him their king, 'cuz he fulfilled some sort of prophecy or whatever.

 

As far as powers, the trident lets him breath underwater, swim at high-speeds, attack fluently in the water and communicate with sea life.

 

Yeah, I like this one. I had a lot of fun coming up with the design and story.

Silent songs over mountains roar.

Inspired again (by T S Eliot)

This one might not be super noir but that's okay. The trenchcoat doesn't fit on him since he's short, but I find that humorous more than anything else. Oh, and what he's holding is supposed to be a pipe, not a random dude's hand. :P

The Wind Was Blowing Strong That Day

It swept across the sands,

Stinging any open skin on hikers alike

No definitive lines across the dunes

As I walked on a hazy outline made from others

All inhaled the sands in the air,

Perhaps with even a cough in these pandemic times

Oh, those views up high

Mountains as far as I could see

So this is High Dune; what a wonder it truly is!

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning in Great Sand Dunes National Park while on a hike down from High Dune. This was a view looking to the northeast while standing on a high point sand dune ridge where I had a vista-like view to the Sangre de Cristo Range off in the distance. I like how the sand dune ridges added a layered look to the image. I also liked how the more earth tones of the sand dunes were that complement and color contrast to the blues and greens present in the mountains and skies above.

I know that the symbol is messed up. I'm going to fix it soon. Other than that, enjoy :)

From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.

  

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:15-18 As to the order of time and entrance on his work, Christ came after John, but in every other way he was before him. The expression clearly shows that Jesus had existence before he appeared on earth as man. All fulness dwells in him, from which alone fallen sinners have, and shall receive, by faith, all that renders them wise, strong, holy, useful, and happy. Our receivings by Christ are all summed up in this one word, grace; we have received even grace, a gift so great, so rich, so invaluable; the good will of God towards us, and the good work of God in us. The law of God is holy, just, and good; and we should make the proper use of it. But we cannot derive from it pardon, righteousness, or strength. It teaches us to adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour, but it cannot supply the place of that doctrine. As no mercy comes from God to sinners but through Jesus Christ, no man can come to the Father but by him; no man can know God, except as he is made known in the only begotten and beloved Son.

I had a request to put Scripture on some of my favorite images, so I will be adding some of my favorite verses. No comments are needed but if you want to, by all means, please do! Thanks for enjoying them!

hit “L” for a more spectacular view!

 

This is a verse from the Bible I discovered a while ago and I always wanted to use it for a photo of mine. I think it is obviously why I choose the title for this shot. There is the “Brandenburger Tor”, the most known gate of Germany and there is the Quadriga which looks as if they want to enter the gate in all their Glory. To emphasize the effect of entering something with glory and speed I used the Radial Blur Filter in Photoshop.

It wasn’t easy to not destroy the image with it but I think the effect turned out pretty well.

As I look at the image my eyes get really dizzy! What do you think? Is the image Top or Flop?

 

Also I decided to talk a bit on statistics on this image.

Lately a lot of my contact hit the 100.000 views mark. I am really proud of you. The reason why I want to share statistics with you is not that you think “how cool is he” or “man what an ass”.

 

The reason is motivation.

 

I want to motivate you to set a goal for 2012 and pursue it. I hit the 100.000 views exactly two years ago. A month ago I hit the 1.000.000 views. It wouldn’t have been without you that I could have reached this. So of course I am really thankful for all of you supporting me and viewing my Images.

 

If you are good in mathematics you see that it took me nearly two years to reach 1.000.000 views.

As I sat down and started my Flickr vision for 2012 I thought what do I want to achieve this year. After thinking a while I thought to change the two years into one year and the 1.000.000 into 2.000.000.

 

This means I actually need 2.000.000 views this year which is approximately 5479 views each day :-).

 

I really don’t know how I should do this but at the end of the year I will let you know if I was able to achieve this.

 

Again I want to motivate you to set your goals for 2012. If you are like me making crazy plans which cannot be achieved without much luck please write your Flickr goals for 2012 into the comment section.

 

I am really interested to see what you are planning.

 

Please remember that we are not competitors but friends . If your goal is to reach one view each day let me know. I am really interested to see it!

 

Ben

[Verse 1: Charlie Puth]

(Ay) What you thinking?

You think that you could be better off with somebody new

(No, oh, oh, baby, no)

You say you're leaving

Well, if you wanna leave, there ain't nobody stopping you

(No, oh, oh, baby, no)

 

[Pre-Chorus: Charlie Puth]

I won't beg for your love

Won't say, "Please"

I won't fall to the ground on my knees

You know I've given this everything

Baby, honestly, baby, honestly

 

[Chorus: Charlie Puth]

I lie for you, baby

I die for you, baby

Cry for you, baby

But tell me what you've done for me

For you, baby

And only you, baby

The things I do, baby

But tell me what you've done for me

 

[Verse 2: Kehlani]

I never cheated

Deleted everyone 'cause they made you uncomfortable

(No, oh, oh, baby, no)

These accusations

I can't apologize for something that I didn't do

(No, oh, oh, baby, no)

 

[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani & Charlie Puth]

I won't beg for your love

Won't say, "Please" (oh no, I won't say, "Please")

I won't fall to the ground on my knees (on my knees)

You know I've given this everything (oh, oh)

Baby honestly, (baby honestly), baby honestly (whoa)

 

[Chorus: Charlie Puth]

I lie for you, baby

I die for you, baby

Cry for you, baby

But tell me what you've done for me

For you, baby

And only you, baby

The things I do, baby

But tell me what you've done for me

 

[Post-Chorus: Charlie Puth]

(Tell me what you've done for me)

Oh, tell me what you've done for me

(Oh, tell me what you've done for me)

Oh, tell me what you've done for me

Matthew 24:44

The desert does not speak — it writes.

Each line in the sand,

a verse of silence,

whispered by the wind,

meant only for those who listen with stillness.
