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.
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.
Saliha, the sister of our Afghan mountain climber friend Mariam, can come to Germany!!!
She braved so many hurdles, worst of all futile days and nights at Kabul airport and then a dangerous trip across the border, and now even the German authorities succumbed to her charm 😊
We are so happy, and grateful to all of you who hoped and helped!
I don’t know why I do this to myself.
The world of motorcycles, alas, is a closed chapter in my life but, like moth to a flame, I’m inexorably drawn to big bikes.
This one was so purty and shiny that I felt it needed two versions uploading.
Holga ist auch schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Wenn es sehr kalt ist, funktionieren weder der Verschluss zuverlässig, noch meine eingefrorenen Finger. Wie auch immer, hier gab es offensichtlich eine Doppelbelichtung. Eigentlich ein Fall für den Mülleimer, andererseits sah das Negativ so ungewohnt schön schmuddelig aus.
The Holga is also getting a bit long in the tooth. When it's very cold, neither the shutter works reliably, nor do my frozen fingers. However, there was obviously a double exposure here. Actually a case for the rubbish bin, but on the other hand the negative looked so interestingly grubby.

Near the end of our Peninsula lies Victory Bay. There's not much but sealions and penguins out there. Early light on sea spray gave the golden mist this morning. Have a good weekend and thanks for visiting and especially for comments.
So far, the little miniature rosebush that friends gave us when Dad passed away has had 7 blooms! I have NEVER had any miniature rosebush even survive, much less bloom so lovely!
Veliky Novgorod, Russia.
The monument was opened on January 20, 1974 - on the day of 30th anniversary of the liberation of Novgorod from fascist invaders.

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

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.
