WHK is an AM talk radio station serving the Cleveland area. It's apparently the sixth oldest (by FCC registration) radio station in the country.
I must tell you this before we move on to matters which have occurred in the village recently.🏡🏡🏡
Just before the lockdown a gentleman knocked at the door to which Horace answered dressed in his butlers outfit (come on what’s strange about this, you would not want to see Horace in the buff) this gentleman asked Horace if he would like to make a donation towards a new community swimming pool being built in a neighbouring parish, so Horace scuttled off and returned with a glass of water.🚰💧🏊♂️🏊♀️
Where were we, yes as has been reported previously, our village is known for its community spirit, some residents have more spirit than others, it just depends on the size of their drinks cabinet.🍷🍷🍷
Though a small village there are many organisations within it, such as, the runner bean growing society, the ladies exhibition drinking team, and of course the newly formed botty coughing club who were going out on tour in 2020, so the lockdown has come as a bit of a blow to them.🍺🍷🍺💨💨💨
However, one of the newer organisations is the bee keeping club who’s Honorary Secretary is Tizzy Talskiddy a founder member of the exhibition drinking team, so as you can imagine, alcohol runs in her veins.🐝🐝🐝
Tizzy felt in these times of lockdown that of a Saturday evening, using the miracles of technology such as Skype, the bee keeping club could hold an on line yard of ale drinking competition (this could get messy)📡⌨️💻
Most members of the bee keeping club are quite extravert so it will come as no surprise they keep quite a few gallons of beer tucked away at home for a rainy day, so they had plenty of ammunition in order to participate in this event.😜🍺🍺🍺
You may be asking, what would be used for the yard glass, as luck would have it Nancy Nancarrow (of Reliant Robin fame) just happens to do a bit of glass blowing on the side and in recognition of the bee keeping club being set up, she made every member a yard glass and engraved their name into it.🚙🍹🍸
I can hear you all saying who would go first for timing purposes etc, well Agnes Penrose (Walter’s wife) had thought of this and had arranged for Horace’s dog Nipper to load up his wheelbarrow with tins of beer and deliver a can and place on each club members driveway.🐶
What the competitors had not realised was that Agnes had vigorously shaken one of the cans, everyone was asked to open their tins together on Skype, you guessed it whoever got sprayed in beer had to go first. 💦💦💦💦💦
You must all try this one night with your family and friends on line, it really is good fun and gets everyone revved up for the evening in these abnormal times.
“Mrs P have you put extra washing powder on the shopping list”.😂😂😂
I will leave you with this thought, Horace wants to do his bit in order to protect the ozone layer. He has decided to stop using spray on deodorant, and bought himself one of the old fashion deodorant sticks. He read the instructions which said “remove cap and push up bottom”.🙈
Thank you so much for looking at my photographs, the comments and banter you leave are so appreciated. Take care and have a lovely weekend.
🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷🐎🐷💃😎😂😂😂
It was late. Any other night, I would've been in bed. But sometimes you have to say "Screw the bank I work for" and set responsibility and routine and sleep aside... and follow that part of you that needs to be fed.
So there I was... late at night... driving my truck... bumping and jarring along pot-holed side streets. I followed my nose, my heart, my hunger to the places where there are no artificial lights... where strange things crash and rustle in the bush... and the smell of the ocean is heavy and warm and the wind is just strong enough to keep the clouds moving, and to keep the mosquitoes off my exposed arms.
At times I was terrified. Alone. Just me and the trees and the ocean and my camera and the moon. But not even fear can override the sheer joy... the pure exhilaration... of shooting at night.
This morning I am groggy. Hung over in the aftermath of so much beauty, and stillness, and wildness.
Work will be a challenge. I'll have to just dig in and not come out till it's done. Otherwise, I'll end up dreaming. And I did enough of that last night.
Para Lío de Fotos, Julio Loco.
Para Lazos, 26/52 - Cogidos de la mano
Para La Tallerería fotográfica, Gymkana de verano, tema 18: Juntos.
Ya ha acabado la primera etapa de mi proyecto, que empecé con la idea de buscar en mi entorno detallitos que me llevaran a mi infancia. Mi idea era, frente a la adversidad, ir buscando esas semillas de amor sembradas durante nuestra niñez en nuestro corazón. Este Julio Loco ha sido un mes muy emocionante y placentero. No he podido hacer fotos todos los días como me hubiera gustado, pero he recordado sensaciones, juegos, momentos que tenía (creía) completamente olvidados. Voy a continuar este trabajo, por puro placer y porqué todavía me queda mucho por explorar.
Pero quería cerrar esta primera etapa con este último tesoro que me he encontrado en mi búsqueda. En muchos de mis recorridos por las calles de mi memoria me acompañaron esos dos angelitos. Y mientras me preguntaba cómo enseñarles que el amor es la mejor respuesta, por su soporte y su presencia me lo estaban enseñando ellos mismos. De pequeña me hubiera gustado mucho tener un hermano mayor que me cogiera de la mano para ir en la vida. No lo tuve y mi infancia fue bastante solitaria. Ahora que he creado y que estoy criando mi propia familia, ahora que vamos los tres cogidos de la mano por la vida, ya ha cambiado esa sensación. Y con ese proyecto me he dado cuenta de que la foto me proporciona esta posibilidad de coger de la mano a esa pequeña niña solitaria y llevarla por las calles de la vida.

Thanks for looking!!!
1995 Oklahoma city bombing, I worked in ICU and took care of 'the little red headed girl', we had many patients and it was so heartless cruel and gutless to do this to innocent people, especially our children...I woke up one night after I had this dream, I painted it and called it the 'answer' we needed one. The painting is n the bombing memorial archives and traveled to New York after 911 with the traveling archive...still an amature but came across this the other day
A sunny sunday to everybody out there!

Where do most of the elements essential for life on Earth come from? The answer: inside the furnaces of stars and the explosions that mark the end of some stars’ lives.
Astronomers have long studied exploded stars and their remains – known as “supernova remnants” – to better understand exactly how stars produce and then disseminate many of the elements observed on Earth, and in the cosmos at large.
Due to its unique evolutionary status, Cassiopeia A (Cas A) is one of the most intensely studied of these supernova remnants. A new image from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory shows the location of different elements in the remains of the explosion: silicon (red), sulfur (yellow), calcium (green) and iron (purple). Each of these elements produces X-rays within narrow energy ranges, allowing maps of their location to be created. The blast wave from the explosion is seen as the blue outer ring.

It is natural for us as humans to seek guidance throughout many aspects of our life...seeking out answers that while help us accomplish our goals. Often times hoping that the ones we reach out to have all the answers and that they can layout the path in front of us so that we can just easily walk down it. Even though this may work for certain situations in life this can have a negative effect when it comes to creativity...like photography. When I started out in photography I did just that...seeked out the pros for all the answers. I figured that if only they would share their methods I could be as great as them. I have poured over hours upon hours of tutorials, lectures, interviews, blogs and tips..what I have come to slowly realize is that no matter what I have learned, not matter what they have taught me...I still need to find me..my creative side. That I still need to answer my own questions. What do I like, why do I like it..how can I use the tools and skills I have learned to create or capture what I want. We are often so focused on achieving what others have done that we place a blinder on to our own creativity. When it comes to photography both capturing and processing an image there are so many different ways of doing so that really there is no right or wrong answer. You just have to find out what works best for you...what method or path achieves the look you want or helps you get closer to your goal. Use the knowledge and experience of others like a lighthouse to guide you along but keep in mind you still have to stir your way through to the end.
This image was one I had in my mind for a while. I wanted to capture a series of images from twilight to sunrise and blend them together to simulate all those moments in one image. The fading stars as the sun begins to rise. I love the idea of creating an image that displays moments in time through out a sunrise or sunset.
God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep.
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree.
I had a dream.

I saw snow for the first time today, it didn't stay or anything but it's a little reminder of what's upon us.
This reminds me of some of Shelby's photos, though it wasn't intentionally taken with that purpose.
One day the phone stopped ringing... no matter how many times i call you, it will always be the same... No answer... wish there were phones in heaven...
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which is still very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
France. Vosges. Alsace. Bas-Rhin. Cet étang est situé au Col de Steige (534m), qui relie la Vallée de la Bruche et le Val de Villé. Photo prise en improvisant de faire le tour de l'étang.
La photo a été prise depuis la rive ouest de l'étang.
En ce samedi 17 décembre 2022, il y avait encore beaucoup de neige à basse altitude en Alsace, une mer de nuages pas trop épaisse sur la plaine d'Alsace et au-dessus du grand soleil dans un ciel peu nuageux. Ce cocktail est tellement rare, surtout un samedi, que j'ai eu envie d'en profiter au maximum, en allant faire des mini-randonnées à plusieurs endroits différents. Je me suis fixé 2 objectifs principaux. Le 1er à la Cascade de l'Andlau près du Hohwald et le 2nd au Donon. Et pour relier ces 2 endroits, j'avais prévu de passer par le Col du Kreuzweg, Breitenbach, le Val de Villé, le Col de Steige, Ranrupt et la Vallée de la Bruche. Tout au long de cet itinétaire de liaison, je m'autorisais à faire une halte à tout endroit que je trouverais très beau.
Et c'est ce qui s'est passé au Col de Steige. Pourtant, j'y étais déjà passé à d'autres moments de l'année et je n'avais pas estimé que ça valait le coup de s'y arrêter, mais ce n'était pas en conditions hivernales. Il faut dire, que cet étang est particulièrement défiguré par les cicatrices de la civilisation humaine, avec :
- Une grosse et vilaine ligne à haute tension sur sa rive OUEST
- La route D424 sur sa rive EST
- La route D50 sur sa rive SUD
Et avec 2 ronds-points entre les 2 routes. Sa seule rive préservée est la rive NORD mais elle est toute petite ...
Mais ce jour-là, avec la neige et l'étang gelé, le cadre était magique alors je me suis laissé tenter pour en faire le tour (que j'ai bouclé en 30 minutes en prenant tout mon temps). Et je ne l'ai pas regretté, d'autant que je n'y ai croisé que 3 personnes. Sans doute parce qu'il faisait froid (malgré le soleil) et que c'était samedi, où les gens vont beaucoup dans les magasins (surtout si près de Noël).
Sur ce cliché, on peut voir au centre ce petit îlot caractéristique, qui lui apporte une touche bien sympathique, avec sa 10aine d'arbres feuillus et résineux. Pour ce qui est des cicatrices de la civilisation, elles ne sont pas trop visibles sur ce cliché car :
- La ligne à haute tension était dans mon dos,
- Il n'y avait aucune voiture sur les 2 routes au moment de la prise,
- Le Col de Steige et les 2 ronds-points sont cachés derrière l'îlot,
- Les quelques panneaux de signalisation routière ne se voient presque pas grâce aux branches devant ou à la distance.
The interesting thing about photography and photographers is that everyone finds different things interesting. As a result many of us choose different subjects for our pictures.
I cannot even tell why I find this scene interesting to me!
Happy weekend!

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
