It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live
The only difference between him and us, is that we are the freaking animals and he is just a victim of our selfishness and our lack of common sense.
The photo was taken in Concepcion's Zoo, It is a real proof of The Animal Abuse in front our eyes,
What are we doing about this terrible situation? NOTHING...
Photoshoot with the Vamps. 3. Feeding Time.
Last of the Mono's (blue tint) before a few colour shots - that's after a pause or two. You know what they say - "Too much of the same thing......"
It gets better after this :-) After food, the colour comes in :-)))))))

An everyday daydreamer
A foreign and unintentional loss of focus
A lack of determination, passion, desire
Blinded by the blizzard’s turbulent snow
I am lost.
Lost and tormented by my own being
Trapped and heartbroken within myself
I cannot save me, at least not now
I must wait a little longer
But I am anxious.
Anxious to get out
Eager to escape this box
This loathed path of suffocation
A world without creativity
I am in anguish.
Anguish inflicted by my own mistakes
Why had I listened to anyone but myself?
This is my life, not theirs
Oh, the pressure and restrictions
I have been stupid.
Stupid to be so naïve
To have believed everything they said as the only truth
Adhering to rigidity when born to run free
The misfortune of discovering oneself too late
I am afraid.

Listen to my favourite song at the moment.
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
i know the original quote was slightly different, i don't know what was wrong with my subtitles, oh well :(
HBBT - a day late I'm afraid. This was sitting in the camera where I had missed importing it yesterday.

.
The beetle is a native of southern Europe that has become an established pest in Britain since the 1990s especially in the south east of England. It seems to be rapidly colonising the country.

Now there's no place like home
To make me feel alone
I see you everywhere I am
And I remember how you ran out to hide
You kept me close behind
Following your every move.
Afraid,
Yellowcard.
No matter how Corageous I feel,
I cant express anything to anyone the way I want to.
I know this won't make a
lot of sense to most of you;
but I feel like I'm my own enemy.

(2PJL) Coast City -
My name is Kyle Rayner...and I'm afraid that I might kill a man tonight. Dr. Arthur Light, to be specific. Just hours ago, he kidnapped my girlfriend Alex, and is now using her as bait to lure me to him. He claims that he will kill her if I don't give him the 'light' which I still am not sure what he means by that.
My ring located Dr. Light in an abandoned warehouse near the docks, which is only 50 meters away. Before landing, I scan the warehouse for both Dr. Light and Alex. My ring detects them both in the middle of the building. I'm actually a bit surprised that Alex is indeed here, like he promised.
I make myself an opening in the building's wall via a rocket launcher from my ring. As I enter the warehouse, I outstretch the hand that my ring is placed on and use it as if it were a flash light. I wander aimlessly through the dark building until I finally see Alex.
Once noticing me, she beings to struggle in her restraints as a way to single me to cut her loose. I nearly begin to assure her that it's alright, and even almost say her name, but then I remember that she doesn't know that it is me. To her, I'm just the man that they call Green Lantern on T.V.
Suddenly, out of the shadows, comes Dr. Light. I brace myself as his hands and eyes begin to glow, almost as if he is planning to attack.
"Kyle Rayner?" asks Dr. Light.
I realize now that my identity will be revealed to Alex if I assure him that I am indeed who he believes. I take a moment to ponder my options, yet decide that my only choice is to reveal my secret.
"Yes...I am Kyle Rayner." I respond.
Alex muffles something through the tape over her mouth and begins to struggle even more.
"Good...good! Now...give me the light! Give it to me!" orders Dr. Light.
"I don't know what you're talking about, what is the 'light'?" I reply.
"Don't play games with me boy...give me it...give me the power!"
"Hey, you've gotta understand, I don't know what you're talking about! Please, just let her go, leave her out of this. I'm here now, you don't need her anymore."
"No...no...no, no that won't work at all! You won't give me the light! Give it to me...give me the light...or she dies...I'll kill her!"
Alex begins to sob. I begin to understand that Dr. Light won't take no for an answer. The only way to get Alex out now is a with a fight. I'm sure that I can buy her enough time to escape, I just don't know if I can make it out as well.
"I'm not going to let that happen...you are not going to touch Alex." I demand.
I send a blast from my ring in his direction yet he deflects it by constructing a shield made of pure light. Next I fashion a large baseball bat, while he assembles a sword like light structure. As I engage in a duel with Dr. Light, I construct a pair of scissors and have them begin cutting through the tape around Alex.
I get about halfway done, before my focus is stopped due to a blow to my stomach from Dr. Light. Luckily, it was enough to free Alex's arms, which allows her to continue removing the tape. Knowing this, I focus my attention on defeating Dr. Light.
I assumed a giant mech-suit and charge at Dr. Light. I grab him using my suit's claw and begin to fly up towards the ceiling. I slam my other claw through the roof and continue to rise higher up and out of the warhouse. I planned on taking the fight away from the city, to avoid any unnecessary losses, yet I was rendered unable to do so as Dr. Light caused some sort of light explosion, causing me to loose my grip around him.
He flies back into the city, I assume to use it's large buildings as cover. I dismantle the mech-suit as a means to increase my speed, although Dr. Light is too fast. I hit him with a blast from my ring, causing him to drop down into the middle of Coast City Park. The civilians there quickly run as they see us enter the park grounds. Good, less things to worry about.
Dr. Light gets up and tries to regain flight, though I manage to construct a pair of strong ankle cuffs around him before he can do so. He blasts the cuffs off of his legs and stands up. I assemble a shield and slam into him sending him through the large, metal statue of the other Green Lantern located in the middle of the park.
I rush towards him though I'm knocked onto the floor as he fires a blast at my feet. He continues to fire more projectiles at me, though luckily I manage to assemble a brick wall between us to counter the attacks. Eventually, he stops shooting, noticing that he cannot break through the construct, and takes flight. He moves over the wall and then drops right above me, hoping to crush me when he lands.
Still on the ground, I roll backwards, just as he slams into the ground creating a large crater. I leap at Dr. Light and tackle him. We struggle to our feet, each grabbing the others knuckles, trying gain the advantage.
"The light! Give me the light!" Dr. Light pleads.
"I can't do that, I don't even know how to do that! And I won't let you hurt Alex!" I reply.
"I just need the light! Give me the light, Kyle Rayner! Give it to me!"
"You have to understand! I don't know what you mean!"
"Lies! AHHHH!"
Dr. Light fires a blast from his hands straight into mine. I drop down into the grass, my hands burning and covered in flames. Dr. Light stands over me with his arms outstretched in front of him, ready to deliver the final blow.
"Give it to me...please!" Dr. Light begs.
Surprisingly, he falls to his knees and his eyes fill with tears. It was at this moment that I notice that Dr. Light wasn't the bad man that I thought he was. Something else was going on here, and I'm going to find out...

Really sorry for the long read, I just didn't want to rush through this issue, as it is a quite important point in the volume. I hope that you all enjoyed it anyway. Thanks for reading! -Michael

I had to concede at some point and give PF a go. The final design is an engine that can be used either off PF / IR power, or hooked up to a 9v motor (much more useful for my display) to power the remote motor located in the engine. All methods also supply power to a light inside the firebox.
I've made 2 interchangable tops for the 9v motor, both have 2x train weights inside them. 1 being a box van for use in a passenger rake whilst the other being a coal truck for use in a freight rake. Some 10+ hours of test running this has proved very good through all points, curves, pulling longish rakes,etc.
It's probably "THE" engine that I have had to make most compromises with, the 2 main ones being, 1. the height of the running boards/footplate, having to be much higher than they should be (they should be just over the centre point of the drive wheels, thats just not happening whilst trying to get working rods within them too!) resulting in the entire engine / roof line being too high, as the real engines roof is quite low in comparrison to carriages.
2. the roof lip not following through the side line of the cab to the front, due to the large 2x2x2 bricks being used for the front windows, these parts were too good to pass up using as ( I felt) they are an ideal size to represent the real windows.
All things considered, I'm still happy enough with it as it looks quite cool running around :)
Some of these pics were taken at night so I'm afraid are not great quality.
Decidophobia, the fear of making decisions.
Hello friends! :) I'm back home for the weekend. How are you all doing? Are you happy that March is already here? :D It's still cold here in my city but I'm glad it's officially spring! :D My birthday is getting closer, school will end in a couple of months and I'm so happy about that! Haha. :)
So anyways... This photo is about how we sometimes find ourselves stuck in choices. We have ideas, opportunities, options and we just can't choose one of them. We also know they won't last forever and they mostly go in a blink of an eye. While I was taking this shot, I remembered one of my favorite quotes, which is a part of my philosophy of life - -
"A wrong decision is better than indecision."
Life is too short and we don't have too much time in our hands, so just keep moving forward.
It's sometimes better to take risks instead of standing where you are and be afraid of your decisions.
I love you guys. :) Have a good day. x
... Governments should be afraid of their people.
While I was shooting the guards of Syntagma, there was a lot of chaos across the road with the riot police getting prepared and taking their positions. Being curious, I walked across and saw the preparations for a NATO protest. 'Protests' are common in Greece and considered a basic right. The group of protesters were wearing Guy Fawkes masks (made famous by the movie V for Vendetta). This one was a peaceful protest (the one a couple of days before this was very violent and the city had to be shut down) so I could get close and take this shot.
V for Vendetta is one of my favourite films and I highly recommend you watch it if you have not yet seen it.
Remember, remember the 5th of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason, why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

A dirty channel between to old building blocks... in the middle of the modern Huangdao city center. The contrast is impressive, and this young fashionable man seems afraid to cross through such a dirty place... This is China.

"At the beginning, when you first start shooting up, you lie to yourself, but over time you can't. Would I like to change? Sure, but I am afraid its part of who I am." -- Joette
Joette, 56 and from Tennessee, lives with Tiffany in a small one bedroom apartment in a drug infested building. Both are addicts and sex workers. Joette started shooting up dope and using crack back in her early twenties to "try and escape the beating I was taking from my husband."
When I asked her when she started sex work she replied, "As soon as I developed a taste for crack. Thats the way it works, as soon as you like crack you sell yourself, your dignity just goes right out the door." She looked serious, then started laughing, "Well it was a lot easier when I was young, finding someone to buy what I was selling."
She was clean for twelve years, up till last March. Her second husband, an addict himself, passed around then. "I was lonely, tired, and bored. Loneliness was the biggest reason I started drugs again. I am HIV positive. I worry that now that I am back on drugs I won't take care of it, and myself."
When I asked her how she wanted to be described she said, "Someone who has to imagine the future is brighter, cause somethings got to change. I was not happy clean and I ain't happy now."

Sometime, i really afraid to what i'm doing. I afraid to lose everything that i created.
- Even that you was so carefully with what you did, sometime, you still have a mistake that you could never change.
Afraid to repeat the mistakes i did in the past, i always afraid.
Afraid take all of my confidences.
I'm So Afraid.
Đã Bonus
Not great quality I am afraid. When I saw this it was fading fast. I had to pull over, set up the tripod, and shoot in less than 5 minutes.
The purpose of doing this hike is to see the 'Horseshoe Bend'. It literally looks like a horseshoe which is pretty amazing. The man really wanted to see it, but as you can see, he was scared. The mom/aunt was probably more afraid than he was in case he fell down. I can't blame them for being scared because the drop is enormous! I'm glad I am not afraid of heights :)
