Tricycles in Subic

Part of my collection of abandoned, forgotten relics in the Georgetown area of Seattle. I love this area to explore, it offers many unusual and interesting relics to photograph. Very industrial. You can see the entire set here...click me

Found in downtown Woodward, OK.

I don’t put my poems in straight jackets. The words fall where and how they please, like Summer rain on a field of wild flowers. I don’t cram or corral or corner them, and so they trust me. I’m often wrong but I’m always honest.

I don’t care much for structure. Surely it’s important, but I love the creative artist more than the business they represent. I don’t dress up my words. If they come in from the garden with dirty fingernails and wild, untamed hair, I don’t put a pretty bonnet over them. If they’re too raw, you’ll have to cook them. I’m utterly comfortable with transparency.

Words uplift, but they can bring you down. Often without the careless person’s knowledge. Oh, that we are ever mindful of the words we choose, the message we convey, and communicate as the Love we are, uplifting one another. If there is anyone I’ve hurt, I’m sorry. If you feel misunderstood, tell me. If you think I’m terribly wrong, ask me to listen.

If Heaven is real, and we have all of eternity to live together, we’d do well to begin practicing such One-ness.

"The strongest affection and utmost zeal should, I think, promote the studies concerned with the most beautiful objects. This is the discipline that deals with the universe's divine revolutions, the stars' motions, sizes, distances, risings and settings . . . for what is more beautiful than heaven?"

- Nicolaus Copernicus, Astronomer

Sometimes you just cannot catch up with the traveling.

This train is on the original alignment up Steelton Hill and on the left you can see the brushing that is taking place for the new double track grade. This overpass for the NP (Willard Munger Trail) will remain and there will be a new bridge just to the west of this to span the new grade.

Those of you that know me know I love Bandits....Milwaukee Road still in action decades after the end in '85. So, when a series of absolutely incredible events led me to G67 parked in Nashotah Siding, in a perfect location for photo ops, without a crew, and a solo Soo 4512 in proper position cab forward, I let the shutter start snapping. G67 sat there from around 17:00 to about 21:20, most of the time with me trackside, and I got a ton of great shots. I'll share the best ones here.

This shot is figuratively and literally planetary alignment for me in so many ways.

I went out for a 20km walk through the Brecon Beacons yesterday, part of the way around I noticed the previous 4 peaks I had just walked on lined up into a nice group. These peaks are actually spread over 2 miles (it seems further when you have walked it!!!).

A great day in the hills

Thanks for looking!

Jupiter, Moon, and Venus (top to bottom) make an uncommon rendezvous while setting in the western sky.

Localisation approximative.

D'après diapositive.

Note: This would have been a photo of two white dots on a black background, but its actually two planets, Venus and Jupiter that ‘appear’ to be close together this week. I composed the shot with the planets peeking at us through the branches of a bare tree to make it a little more ‘interesting’. (Best i could come up with at the time based on where i was with my family).

This is actually what astronomer refer to as a planetary ‘Alignment’ or ‘Conjunction’.

We are looking at them ‘Across’ the solar system. They’re not actually next to each other.

Using a baseball field as an example, say you hit the ball out of the park and can take your time trotting around the bases as the crowd goes wild. As you start your jaunt to first base and glance to the left, across the baseball field, think of the pitcher’s mound as the Sun, the second baseman would be Venus and center fielder, Jupiter. The two planets just ‘appear’ to be close together based on your line-of-sight from where you are, but are actually very far apart and in different parts of the Solar System, or baseball field :—).

So, that is what we are seeing this week.

Figuring out a system for my floating marks.
