It's hard to believe it's been 17 years since the 9-11 tragedy, but I can still remember that day vividly. We as a nation have come a long way since then, let's hope the lessons learned were not in vain...
This is a shot outside our house here in northwestern Illinois this morning. The serenity of this scene makes you very thankful for your blessings...have a great day all!
"Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere..."

So here's David Bowie with the immortal sound of 'Golden Years':

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
(Written by David Hodges, Christina Perri)
P.S. This was our view from the master bedroom at the Prowhouse on a rainy day.
It's fascinating, I've visited this staircase several times. This is a picture from the first visit over 4 years ago.
Today, without remembering that I had already selected the picture back then to edit it, without knowing it, I selected it a second time.
When I had finished editing it, I found this old, finished edition from back then. I liked the picture and frame of the old picture better.
Nevertheless, I then tried to bring the reworking in the same direction and then also took over the old framework.
If the second attempt is as good as the first, or if the images are similar in quality, I don't know. In any case I find that they are very different despite all the similarity ... and therefore brought them both ...
4 years ago I decided to publish the photo upside down ...
this time I decided to take the original alignment ...

Revelation 20:1-3
New International Version
The Thousand Years
20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
Four years ago I started in this virtual world. I did not understand it well, but today I think I made the right choice to stay, because through my photos I have achieved a happy and challenging experience, thanks to my good friends, who know who they are :))
Thanks to everyone who appreciates my work. Thank you for all the love I receive here and your recognition of my work. This is a fourth year of learning, as in RL, constantly learning.
Smiles for all, and never forget to look at the sky, for even clouds have their beauty :)))

Captured the forest on Borth beach like this back in July 2019, have not managed to see it again quite like this since.
A forest which was buried under water and sand more than 4,500 years ago can be seen on Borth beach in Ceredigion, Cymru/Wales.
The remains of the forests trees, preserved in the local peat, have been exposed by low tides and high winds.
Known as the Sunken Forest or Sunken Kingdom, this graveyard of trees – pine, alder, oak and birch – has been preserved since 1500 BC and surfaced at various points in history, in folktales, songs and legends from the 17th century, that widely identify it with Cantre'r Gwaelod (The Lowland Hundred), an ancient civilization described as a ‘Welsh Atlantis’.
Ken & I are celebrating 20 glorious years together today! How fast the time has gone! Today has NOT been what either of us hoped for- so many things gone to chaos that it could be a sitcom episode! But love DOES conquer all!!
The signal bridge at South Deshler is rather imposing on a rainy May evening. Placed in service in 1932, the bridge, and its dwarf signal companions, have been safely guiding trains south from Deshler for ninety years.
Yet, despite the age of the structure, the signals function as intended, here we see a train lined out of the west siding with a "Medium Clear" on the dwarf signal
No one quite knows when these signals will be retired, but, one thing is for certain, the B&O got their investment back.

200 Years is the time span between the Treaty of Georgievsk with which Georgia became a protectorate of Russia and the erection of the Gudauri Friendship monument. This is symbolized in the middle panel with Mother Russia and small George. The left side of the monument is the Georgian side and the right side the Russian one with respective symbols from history.
Less than 10 years later, the friendship was gone.
She's been putting up with me for four years,
four big chocolate medals,
four times more love.
I love you more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.

With a trio of clean speed lettered locomotives, a second section of Southern Pacific's Kansas City to Oakland Forwarder pulls 50 auto racks along the frozen Price River between Kyune and Colton, Utah just before sundown on Dec. 17, 1994.
Golden Years?
After working for decades and paying tax all the while, could we at least not give the older members of society some respect, the chance to see the grandchildren and a free TV licence?
And not try to divide the various sections of society along identity lines such as age?
And far worse besides?

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come get up my baby

How can really change a person in ten years?
A man who didn’t even know the basic elements of a camera and now he knows how to use the camera for photography.
Of course, I'd like to thank each one of you at Flickr, I watched countless photos, include yours, yours and yours, ohh wait wait wait, and especially yours. I LEARNED A LOT of things from your wonderful pictures and I'm so thankful for you guys to shared with no selfishness, and I'm still learning and repeating to photography.
AGAIN, I'm not as good photographer as what they think/say, I'm just a man who loves taking photos with what reflect on his eyes.
I hope that in the next ten years I could still say: Thank you.
Time move fast and you know we only live once and life is goddamn short.
Have a great weekend and stay well, my friends.
Keep creative, cheers, Sam.😊😊
I guess for those of us in Australia's big cities, the modern equivalent of this store, A.C.B.Drapers in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane would be Spotlight but those stores will never see 100+ years. No a chance. Given this is the Valley, I have no idea what is inside as a lot of these buildings are abandoned or turned into small offices, boutique hotels or student apartments. Whatever, the facade has been nicely preserved. Happy Window Wednesday.
282 Wickham Street and it seems much of it is up for rent according to real estate sites.

A duo of "Deathstars" lead the Gary, IN to Centralia, IL shuttle, A408, south past the former IC depot in Mattoon, IL. Aside from the yellow sills and first few freight cars (and likely a depot rehab), hard to tell if this was from 2020 or the late 1990's.
This old building possesses a faded glory. It does still remind us of how attractive it must have looked when built in the late 19th century on a hill overlooking central Launceston. It somehow reminds me of New Orleans and I can almost hear Marlon Brando (Stanley) screaming "Stella!" in the movie "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951).
Revisiting “Project Buried Treasure,” dug up some iPhone shots from my last visit to Chicago.

...zwischen den Jahren
Eigentlich eine Zeit, in der man innehalten, resümieren, neu ordnen und aussortieren sollte -
Geliehenes zurück geben, Schulden begleichen...
Hierzulande ist dafür im Moment wenig Zeit und noch weniger Muße.
Starke Regenfälle bringen mehr Wasser heran, als uns lieb ist und so manch einer ist Tag und Nacht am Keller-leer-pumpen.
Irgendwie birgt das viele überall verteilte Nass aber auch malerische Schönheit - besonders an Tagen, an denen der Himmel aufreißt , Wolken Struktur bekommen und die ganze Welt wie ein einziger Spiegel wirkt.
a thousand years the strong winds blew
from tiny seeds mighty forests grew
the winds of fate brought flash and thunder
giants fell and crashed asunder
from headland cliffs towering timbers fell
to ride Poseidon's tumultuous swells
a thousand years to ride the tides
to drift, to dream, to watch the sky's
a thousand years cast on the shore
dream on until you dream no more---
Iguazu Falls in full flood after the heaviest rainfall in 25 years. This was taken from a platform on the Brazil side that takes you out to an island in the throat of the falls in an area you could never reach by foot. It's not exactly wilderness here, but the sheer power, sound and feel of the water puts it near the pinnacle of all the natural spectacles I've ever witnessed.

Wow, time flies and I do not want to miss a single moment of it. All the things we have experienced and mastered during that time, all the beautiful moments here and in real life. I hope all the joy filled days that we have spent together will continue for the rest of our lives, My Love. Thank you for being the One! I will cherish you forever.
The morning of the summer solstice of 2020 found me chasing this Ferromex ACe duo coming down the Sunset Route into the Houston area with eastbound auto parts train MEGLI, interchanged to UP from FXE at the border in Eagle Pass, TX, bound for Livonia, LA.
I initially cast this shot aside in favor of a much better shot earlier in the chase (www.flickr.com/photos/159410734@N04/50047426848/), funny what hindsight can do to you. 2 years later, any Ferromex power leading in the states is now exceptionally rare, with their lack of PTC.
