I borrowed the quote from the famous Schiller work "Wilhelm Tell" (in German: "Durch diese hohle Gasse muss er kommen") although this alleyway in Salzburg certainly was not the hollow way Schiller was referring to, but it sprang immediately to mind :)
Guide Falls, near Burnie, northern Tasmania.
This was taken as the sun was sinking below the horizon, so I lost light very rapidly.
Everything on earth is borrowed....
There is no "Mine or Yours."....
There is only "Ours."....
Even time is borrowed.
We kill over a plot of land that
belongs only to our Mother Earth.
All you have is what you came with...
and what you will leave with....
Your Spirit.

One of the interesting aspects of grave sites around Thailand is that many include pictures of the deceased, like the ones seen here at Wat Arun. Often names go forgotten and I thought it was a nice addition to a traditional grave that brought a sense of humanity to an otherwise cold faceless stone.
Another one from Lake Wenatchee. I miss this place a lot.
Also this photo is the first one I edited after I discovered artificial grad filters in Lightroom. That would have been nice to know about months ago.
Counting stars and passing cars
On the interstate
The end is near I feel it dear,
But I am not afraid
Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide
But you say you're getting tired
You're tired and so am I
When you follow from behind
Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide
A Fine Frenzy - Borrowed Time
WAH are checking in checked out but non returned books. We are more lenders than borrowers, but I suspect at least one of these is a University library book which will forever be unreturned.
#CN106 passes through Brockville with a decently long train, with two different Dash 8 variants hauling stacks for Montreal.
Simha borrowed this toy from one of my grandchildren. The grandchildren are all grown up (the youngest is 16, and the eldest is 22), and the toy was in my desk drawer. The cat found it and pulled it out!
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!
With two maroon SD9043MAC sisters awaiting delivery at Wales, are these nice recently washed blue CEFX MACs on borrowed time?
Approaching sundown at Sabang Beach in Baler, Aurora, Philippines. This beach faces east so we did not expect to get any good sunset shots here. But just as we were strolling along the baywalk before dusk on our second day here, we noticed that the setting sun had started to lend its colors to the opposite horizon. Time to bring out the cameras...
For Macro Mondays - Speckled.
Borrowed from a plant in a friends garden. I'm not sure what the plant is and as our friends are away at present I can't ask. The leaf is 54 mm (just over 2 inches long) and was shot against a reflective surface.
Happy Macro Monday.
A few of my favorite "blue" shots borrowed from my other flickr albums, in a sort of polaroid montage. I like looking back to pictures I took years ago.
WAH visiting Book Nerds
I borrowed this coffee table book with the intention of visiting all the places around Albuqurque mentioned in It.
It never happened but I'll keep hold of the book just incase those intentions return.
Well, I seriously doubt that schnauzer girl Roux knew that Tinker had borrowed her amazing squawking pink chicken! He was less than impressed for the photo, though he has play many times with Roux and this thing!
Happy Caturday! "Something Borrowed"
borrowed micro Nikkor
Nikon D80, Nikkor 105/2.8, ISO 100, f/4, 1/125, 105mm
Thank you all for faves and comments
Seems like Flickr is working decently today. We survived :)))
Happy weekend dear friends!
Just discovered this lady, enjoy!
With an overhauled SD70MACE on the point, M252 knocks down the BC 33.1 intermediate at Dillsboro. While not part of last months cutovers, this signal already has a replacement mast standing next to it, with an anticipated cutover in October. The remaining stretch from Milan to Lawrenceburg is the last bastion of active B&O intermediate signals, as the Toledo Sub and most examples on short lines only include control points. With the fall of the remaining signals on the Indiana sub, B&O intermediates will be all but extinct.
Clinchfield’s US&S P-5 installations at S.E. Kermit work out their last days as also soon to be rebuilt CSXT 428 works south toward Kingsport Yard with M693-10. As of the date of this photo, there were new signal bases and conduit at both ends of the siding. “Progress” I guess…
Entranced by the golden yellow glow of the flowers the little people were tempted to brave the outside world. Dodging spiders, human feet and cats they had a marvellous adventure. (I'm lost in my imagination again ...)

Titel borrowed from Stevie Wonder's song "So What The Fuss" from his last official studio album "A Time 2 Love" from 2005. Prince played guitar on this funky song.
#MacroMondays
#String
An "up-close and personal" view into a cut-open, orange-patterned paracord rope. The moment you cut paracord, both the inner strings (seven single strings that are themselves made of numerous even thinner strings) and the braided sheath, as well made of thin strings (that are also made of even thinner...? It's dizzying) start to fringe badly so you better have a (stick) lighter at hand. But here, this was the effect I wanted to have.
I have made a few (very basic and simple) paracord camera wrist straps with one of the easiest weaves, the cobra weave (everything else is beyond my braiding skills). The next project was supposed to be a camera shoulder strap. Still, of course, I wanted it to look fancy and so I wanted to combine two differently coloured/patterned paracord ropes – and ended up with a hopelessly tangled mess that also "ended" the shoulder strap project. As time (a long time) passed, I came to prefer wrist straps over shoulder straps because if you wear your camera gear as I used to (photo bag cross-body to the right, camera on strap cross-body to the left) it quickly becomes uncomfortable, especially around the neck/throat area. Problem solved (and enough material left for more paracord wrist straps) :)
The image didn't work as long as I used a black background and tried to incorporate more than a very small part of the (backlit) paracord because the rope, and even more so the inner strings are way too thin to effectively backlight them with a regular flashlight, and that flashlight already is a small one with a diameter of only 1,5 cm/0,59 inches. I almost wanted to quit but then thought "blue". So the blue glitter foam sheet, dull side up, came to the rescue. The tricky part was to place the paracord rope so I could photograph it face-to-face. Placing the piece on an upside-down, tiny glass jar gave me the right height but produced unwanted, distracting reflections in the glass from the single light source (natural light photo lamp from above). So in the end, I used my camera's (empty) spare battery case which has a small opening on top. I fixated the rope with a clamp, stuck it into the battery case, and bent it so the lens would "look" right into the paracord section.
The image is made of 50 focus bracketing images combined in Helicon Focus, Method C, S3 (and still, not everything is in focus due to the slightly pulled-out inner strings and the depth of the view). The paracord section is 4 mm/0.15 inches in diameter.
I'm very busy today and will properly catch up with you tonight.
HMM, Everyone!
In this case I borrowed an idea from @magda627, and made it my own. I plan on trying variations of this. It's always a learning process!
NS 14Z heads north through Buena Vista, VA. The old N&W CPLs installed in the early 1940s are still hanging on for now, but replacents are staged in the small MoW yard here.
With the trailing SP leaser offline and the leader notched out, L510 roars north out of the Blanchard River valley and passes the endangered CPLs at MP153.5 on warm May morning in NWO
This gap in the trees along the shore was created when the property owner cleared the lot and then ... nothing. Maybe one day they will build and I will no longer have one of my favourite views on my daily walks.
In winter, the winds off Huron cause the snow to blow across the road and form some serious drifts.
