I keep asking myself this question in 2023. In addition to the desolation, the heavy winds were bitterly cold.
I had a pretty good day, nonetheless, photographing rural dilapidation but only saw two Snowy Owls.
Back to posting my series of 9. ⠀

7 of 9: Why?
⠀
Heading back to February of this year when I took a trip out to Vegas for our @photofocus writer's retreat and one morning when we headed out to Black Velvet Canyon for some photography therapy. Morning sun makes for great backlight and well nature takes care of the shapes of things.
Breathing in, I touch the sorrow I have caused.
Breathing out, I hold it with compassion.
Breathing in, I smile at the miracle of being.
Breathing out, I ask—why not joy?
(No. 1) No need to ask why, just do it.
(No. 2) You did the crime, you do the time.

Why couldn't we give peace a chance? This 60's symbol of peace had so much hope back in the day, but much like this warped and tarnished symbol, peace remains illusive. It may be easier for many people to hate rather than to love, but I have seen the power of love, of faith, of forgiveness, and reconciliation enough times to know that peace is the better choice.

-Perchè io?- sembra dire cadendo la prima foglia che un albero abbandona nell'autunno

As seen on the lower left of the bridge abutment; BECAUSE it's 1309!!! The Frostburg Flyer lead by 1309 crosses the potomac enroute to the Cumberland Station to pick up passengers for the run up to Frostburg, Md.
I am occasionally asked why I like hill walking so much. After all, as people point out to me, you can get very cold, very wet, very tired and very lost. And there is always a degree of risk involved.
All this is true.
I have been very cold, very wet, very tired and very lost.
But I still love it.
I love the quiet satisfaction of getting from A to B with nothing more than a map and compass.
I love the fresh air.
I love the quietness.
I love seeing the wildlife.
I love the hunger that a day on the hills brings, and the fact that the food tastes so much better.
I love the thirst that a long walk brings and there’s nothing better than to sit in a nice warm pub, with a pint of good beer and let the ache of tiredness waft over me.
But most of all, I love it because I get to see scenery like this.

This weekend started in East-Westphalia with heavy snowfalls already on early Friday morning, causing massive problems on the roads. The mild temperatures in the afternoon and early Saturday melted away most of the snow, so we had to speed up to get some Winter shots in the spa gardens of Bad Oeynhausen.
Bad Oeynhausen is a nice little town in East Westphalia, famous as a spa centre for more than a century. My favourite place in town is the Kurpark (spa gardens) with beautiful garden architecture and historical buildings of the early days of the spa era.
Just thought I would post another shot of Sir Lance-A-Lot standing erect in the same water that he was hunting in. I’m thinking that I might should ask as it could me Miss Lance-A-Lot, but that’s another story. I’ve seen this particular Tri-colored Heron hunt from a number of different position but it really does prefer that skimming the top of the water technique. It’s still beyond me how it spots the prey under the surface of the water at such a shallow angle. BTW, this one rarely misses. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou.

Junge Frauen lassen sich aus verschiedenen Gründen tätowieren, oft um ihre Individualität, Persönlichkeit und Selbstausdruck zu betonen. Tattoos können als Ausdruck von Erinnerungen, Überzeugungen oder als persönliche Statement dienen. Sie können auch das Selbstbewusstsein stärken und ein Gefühl der Kontrolle über den eigenen Körper vermitteln.
Young women get tattoos for a variety of reasons, often to emphasize their individuality, personality, and self-expression. Tattoos can serve as an expression of memories, beliefs, or as a personal statement. They can also boost self-confidence and convey a sense of control over one's own body.
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble
But a whole lot of ground to gain
Why take when you could be giving, why watch as the world goes by
It's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly?

Why did this tree fall in that direction?
I wonder if it has fallen from above.
なぜ、この木が滝の方に倒れたのかわかりません。
上から落ちてきたのかな。

An east coast low brought heavy swells to the Sydney coast in early April, 2025, providing some great surf at Dee Why point. In the background are 6-10m waves breaking off Long reef. I took this handheld with the EF70-200mm f/4L and the 1.4x teleconverter.

"No Filters!"
But of course filters are used, if I have a look at my cameras' settings, I'll discover all sorts of neat little adjustments. Digital adjustments which control the built in "filter" imbedded on the sensor. Camera phones included.
Another question I sometimes I ask myself.....Can anyone tell me "Why do sunsets have to be in color?". Nothing wrong with color, I love color imagery. We punch it up with our articificial software, adding more filtration beyond what our artificial camera/sensor provides (they ALL have built in filters btw, phones included) creating artificial scenes, which is fine if expressing an artitistic interpretation, but then many are then used to promote tourism.....are they *realistic* as to what any givien person would actually see? When we do this, are we bordering on "false advertising"?
Kinda like back in the days of airbrushing the models that appear on the magazine cover....it's fake. The only way to appreciate a scene is to acually see it with ones' own eyes....other than that, it's all "fake news". lol
And yes... I include my own images, but I never make any bones about it.... I'm an artist first, everything else is then my interpretation of what I see with no representation of "Come see this..." ....because it doesn't exist except of course, in my own mind. lol
Image was taken last night in front of our home as the sun was setting. Happy Sunday!
Today 17 babies will die, the tragic victims of stillbirth or neonatal death. This is a statistic that is seeing no signs of decreasing, and behind each number is a family rocked to the foundations by the death of their baby.
This shocking figure, the loss of 6,500 babies every year, is something the public is not generally aware of. Most people think stillbirths don’t happen in the 21st century. Yet stillbirth in the UK is 10 times more common than cot death.
At Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, we feel this number of deaths is totally unacceptable. We have launched the Why17? campaign to raise awareness of this devastating loss and to ask the question:
“Why are 17 babies a day dying and what can be done to halt this national tragedy?”
“I just want to raise awareness of stillbirth. I had no idea that this could happen to me

is a question I’m often asked when taking a photograph.
Because it looked interesting.
Because I wondered how it would turn out.
Why not?
