After a month of contemplating and shooting desert landscapes, I was hungry for genre compositions, and today I was definitely lucky! Although it is unlikely that the sheep like what is happening ...
The process of dynamic arrangement of human figures and animal figures in the local space of my photo-picture,
a figures which are in constant motion and do not stop for a second.. It definitely creates a feeling of life for me now !
But all this violent movement is just a careful examination of a tiny point in the endless space in the middle of the hills ... and we are like restless microorganisms in a drop of water ...
here is just an illustration to the story in the previous photo in a Kazakh photo album from Mongolia

a crown on the head cut off by the edge of a photo frame is not a mistake when using a viewfinder devoid of parallax correction - I look through the viewfinder of a SLR camera.
But this is my desire - to bring , show randomness and momentum
in this frozen image of time with the help of this cinematic visual technique.

Etta loves the Vets ... she gets to greet Receptionists, Nurses, Vets and maybe visitors, including other dogs AND cats (she doesn't get so close to the cats) ... and she always gets plenty of attention AND treats😂
Daily Dog Challenge: Greeting
Vetter Falls in Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park, British Columbia, is a cascade where Vetter Creek plunges over ancient lava flows. It is surrounded by coastal temperate rainforest. The photo is a panorama from 3 horizontal files.
The locomotive of freight train number T 7012 has broken down, so its brother is coming to give a hand. Here the locomotive is waiting at the Kuopio railway station, where a journalist came to give the engineer an interview.
Two class Dv12 diesel locomotives from Siilinjärvi to Pieksämäki just went trought railway tunnel of Pieni Neulamäki.
Billy is seen resting in the small cat carrier. He found it was a nice cosy place to sleep. This is the carrier I use to take the kittens to the vet. 11:00pm, Saturday the 26th of November, 2016.
Etta was very excited to visit the Vets today. She has been very itchy so had an injection (that has worked in the past). She also had a biopsy of the lump on her head which came back negative for mast cell carcinoma. Good news.

Mine would be to go bush, but every time we go out for a walk now Etta wants to go to the Vets! It's just a 3 minute walk in the opposite direction to the bush. So I guess that would be her choice ... visit the Vets everyday ... if we try to walk past on the way to the shops she wants to go in ... & they have said we are welcome to come in on the way past for a treat! ... they do give her treats ...
CSX B229 northbound at Tyner in Chattanooga, TN with CN 3233 one of their Veterans painted tier 4s on point.
With deep respect for the Veterans who have stood between us and a deep abyss.
Currently 100% of our forces are volunteers. They are paid peanuts and their families struggle to make ends meet.
I was surprised to hear on the History Channel this morning that only 20% of the Viet Nam Vets were draftees. I would have thought the inverse from popular lore.
Above are photos of my dad, my two brothers and me. I am the cute baby on the bottom left. My dad with the Lyndon Johnson big ear is on the top left. My older brother is on the top right and I'm pretty sure he is gay - if he is not gay he is missing a good chance. (Just look at the necklace he is wearing.) My younger brother is giving the finger to the world on the bottom right - a trait that he continues to this day.
I thought about the significance of this day when I saw a goofy wall hanging my mom put together many years ago and gave me showing these 4 photos. My Mom and Dad are long gone, but I thought of my Mom carefully cutting photos into circles to place in the frame as a special gift for me. – I removed them to scan for this.
So, my thought is that all of the Vets were once babes in their mom’s arms. They are not statistics to be used by politicians of any stripe. Both sides suck in my opinion.
My dad and both of his brothers served in the Navy during WWII in the Pacific. One of his brothers died in service. My mother’s only brother served in the Navy in WWII in the Atlantic. My brothers and I also served in the Navy.
My Father-in-Law served in North Africa and Italy.
Two of my wife’s 3 brothers served in the Air Force.
My older brother’s son served in the Army in Iraq during the first (1991?) conflict in a WMD unit.
My younger brother’s son is currently serving in Iraq in the Army as an interpreter. (Prayers for his safety are welcome and requested).
All of us volunteered.
I did diddlysquat in terms of personal sacrifice during my time in service.
Today thousands serve in harms way and deserve our prayers or good wishes.
I salute the brave men and women who serve and have served to keep us free.
Etta loves the Vets. As we passed on our walk today she wanted to go in, but we had an appointment for tomorrow just to check that the ulcer on her eye is healing. After we got home she scratched the contact lens & so she got her way & we went to the Vet today. Fortunately it looks like the ulcer has healed & the contact lens is no longer needed. And Etta had treats & pats.
Daily Dog Challenge: Parallel ... fence palings.
Agnes: Alright guys, I think this may have gone too far.
Bruno: What do you mean gone too far? You're sitting right beside me.
Agnes: I mean this book. I'm not entirely comfortable with attention from people beyond my core group.
Bruno: That may be the craziest thing that you've ever said. Attention from random strangers is great. They all love me.
Eva: I think the book looks great. It captures my true spirit - intelligent, beautiful and humble.
Bruno: I take excellence to that.
Eva: Don't you mean "exception to that"?
Bruno: Nope. Definitely excellence to that. I'm excellent at intelligence.
Eva: Sometimes I don't think you hear yourself.
Bruno: Sometimes I hear too much of you. And hey - who's that handsome dog sitting on that hill in the placemat?
Agnes: Dude, it's you!
Bruno: I knew that. Because he's handsome and I'm excellent at intelligence.
Eva: And also, it's a page proof from the book - not a placemat.
Bruno: I disagree. It's a placemat because anything that you put food on is a placemat. So I'm just going to sit here and stare until someone puts a big pile of cookies down on it.

This is an exciting time. For about the past year and a half I have been working on a book of dogversattions. It is now so close to done that it is starting to feel real.
There will be two versions of the book. On the table are page proofs of an interior page, the cover (partly hidden) and a 'test print' of the premium version which is landscape format and on glossy paper. This will be the version that I am getting a print run on with 1,000 copies being shipped to me later this week. I have arrangements to sell this through a couple of local book stores and the University of Saskatchewan. A portion of the UofS sales will be donated to the vet college companion fund to pay for treatments of animals in need.
Because of printing and general distribution costs of this version would be too high, we are also putting together a smaller square format non-glossy version that will be available through on-line sellers such as Amazon and be available to be stocked in physical book stores around the world.
More information will be on my website in the next couple of weeks. www.DogversationsBook.com
And by the way - Bruno was mostly right about the placemat. There was a motivational cheerio on the book that I cloned out in post-processing.

Today was kind of a stressful day. We had to bring our Irish Cob mare to the vet, to see if everything was good with her foal. One of the best Vet Clinic we know is at Evergarden Equestrian, so we asked for a meet up and luckily, they give us one really fast. Our mare is at her fifth month of pregnancy and as she already had a problem with her previous baby around the same time, we rather prevent a drama to happen. They did all the exams they needed and as you can see, she was pretty relaxed, prove that you can go to EE vet clinic with your eyes close, your horses will be well treated ! After the vet did all the checks on the mare, they confirmed that everything was fine ! Stress relief ! Now we can go back to the Ranch and put her out in her field so she can enjoy the rest of the day.

Vet inte varför men bilden får mig att tänka på Olle Adolphsons melodi Trubbel; därav titeln: "Nu stryker vinden genom trädens höga kronor ...".

A Starry Night of Iceland

Explanation: On some nights, the sky is the best show in town. On this night, the sky was not only the best show in town, but a composite image of the sky won an international competition for landscape astrophotography. The above winning image was taken two months ago over Jökulsárlón, the largest glacial lake in Iceland. The photographer combined six exposures to capture not only two green auroral rings, but their reflections off the serene lake. Visible in the distant background sky is the band of our Milky Way Galaxy, the Pleiades open clusters of stars, and the Andromeda galaxy. A powerful coronal mass ejection from the Sun caused auroras to be seen as far south as Wisconsin, USA. As the Sun progresses toward solar maximum in the next few years, many more spectacular images of aurora are expected.
