A passenger getting off an Astoria-bound N-train has spotted me and is giving me the victory sign :-)
Queensboro Plaza station...
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, Prussia had also defeated Austria and its German allies in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), giving the statue a new purpose. Different from the original plans, these later victories in the so-called unification wars inspired the addition of the bronze sculpture of Victoria, 8.3 metres (27 ft) high and weighing 35 tonnes, designed by Friedrich Drake. Berliners have given the statue the nickname Goldelse, meaning something like "Golden Lizzy"
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.
Victory Monument is a bustling Bangkok intersection with a skywalk and makes for a great location to shoot light trails.
Only one problem, tripods are not allowed. But who follows rules :-) Security guard told me NO; I apologized moved a few meters and set up again.

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.

The University of Pittsburgh football team won a close game last night, so the victory lights on top of the Cathedral of Learning are on for the weekend.
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 .
