In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun refused to shine

People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

Now my girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'

Watched his hair been turnin' grey

He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

Oh yes I know it

He's been workin' so hard

(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby

(Yeah!) Every night and day

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

'cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

Now my girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true, yeah

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'

Watched his hair been turnin' grey, yeah

He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

I know he's been workin' so hard

I've been workin' too, baby

(Yeah!) Every day baby

(Yeah!) Whoa!

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

Girl, there's a better life for me and you

Somewhere baby, somehow I know it

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

Girl, there's a better life for me and you

Believe me baby

I know it baby

You know it too

'Cause she walks like a saint, floats like an angel

Sharp like a knife under the table

Can't feel my face, I shoulda stayed home

I know what she's doin', she's a lethal woman

Thank you all so much for your wonderful words, awards, and the group invites. I truly do appreciate them all!♥

 

Tuesday morning was filled with the sound of pounding surf, so I wandered down to check out Lake Michigan. The winds were causing the waves to crash against the ice shelves.

'Cause the cake's been eaten now

We're picking up crumbs

 

An enjoyable ride out with the spaniels to the always excellent Shed 24H at Hellifield for a mug of tea and some cherry and rhubarb sponge cake.

 

37403 Isle of Mull storms through on the Down Main with 5Z44, 11.43 Barrow Hill to Bo'ness.

 

The 37 was returning three Mark 1s to the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway after refurbishment work at Rampart Engineering.

a dangerous train ...

 

The pine processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) is a moth of the subfamily Thaumetopoeinae in the family Notodontidae, known for the irritating hairs of its caterpillars, their processions, and the economic damage they cause in coniferous forests.

 

Toxicity :

Stinging hairs contain a toxic protein that is very irritating and inflammatory: thaumetopoein. It penetrates where the “harpoon” is planted: most often in the skin, but also in the eye, the nose, the mouth…

The hair breaks and the toxin released causes a reaction similar to that of nettle stings: red pimples in the form of blisters, red itchy patches, appear on the skin.

General symptoms may occur in the event of significant exposure. The immune system then goes into overdrive, which can lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure, discomfort or loss of consciousness.

Is there a risk for animals? With their noses at ground level, animals are exposed to contact with these stinging hairs, particularly dogs. They can get it on their coat, or even take a caterpillar in their mouth, which can cause very serious inflammatory reactions including necrosis of the tongue.

  

Un train dangereux ...

 

La processionnaire du pin (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) est un papillon de nuit de la sous-famille des Thaumetopoeinae de la famille des Notodontidae, connue pour les poils irritants de ses chenilles, leurs cortèges et les dégâts économiques qu'elles provoquent dans les forêts de conifères.

 

Toxicité

Les poils urticants contiennent une protéine toxique très irritante et inflammatoire : la thaumétopoéine. Elle pénètre là où le « harpon » s’est planté : le plus souvent dans la peau , mais aussi dans l’œil, le nez, la bouche…

Le poil se casse et la toxine libérée provoque une réaction semblable à celle des piqûres d’ortie : des boutons rouges sous forme de cloques, des plaques rouges qui grattent, apparaissent sur la peau.

Des symptômes généraux peuvent survenir en cas d’exposition importante. Le système immunitaire s’emballe alors, pouvant mener à une baisse brutale de la tension artérielle, un malaise ou une perte de connaissance.

Y a-t-il un risque pour les animaux ? La truffe au ras du sol, les animaux sont exposés au contact avec ces poils urticants, notamment les chiens. Ils peuvent en avoir sur le pelage, voire prendre une chenille dans leur gueule, ce qui peut provoquer des réactions inflammatoires très graves jusqu’à une nécrose de la langue.

The belfry & part of the west wall alone remain of this 12th Century celtic type church destroyed in the great storm of Oct 1859 along with over 100 ships along the coast of Wales/ Another storm in March 1979 caused further damage to the churchyard.

 

Last night we visited it was a dull day, this time it was gorgeous.

Via 79 arrives in Brantford with F40PH-3 6425 leading. They are photographed meeting CN L581 with CN 9785, CN 7025, CN 4130 and CN 9482. In the foreground is CN 9473 awaiting a trip to Toronto.

 

The first dumping of snow in Southern Ontario this year caused chaos on the roads and rails but this foamer was out playing in the snow.

All losses are caused by different reasons, but a select few of them happen because something was straight out taken from us, or we were taken ourselves. Imagine being not only stripped of your clothes, your dignity, and your pride, but also being forced to go along for the ride. A ride that involves no acceptance, no going with the flow, no ability to fight, just being absolutely forced to comply with everything and everyone being taken from you.

 

This can all be metaphorical to describe a situation in your life, but it can also be exactly what it describes. Sex trafficking is still a very real thing and is one of the worst kind of losses you can go through as a human being. Did you know that over 27 million people a year are forced into jobs, not just sexual ones, but hard labor jobs as well? You hear about the numbers sometimes of women and girls forced to be sex slaves, but you don't hear about the number of slaves working on farms, ranches, in mines, and this doesn't even include the number of inmates locked up on bogus crimes and forced to do the jobs society has deemed undesirable. Silenced, subdued, shackled, and sometimes raped repeatedly, there are depths a person can fall into that are unimaginable while the rest of the world declares "We should do something." While sipping their starbucks, and going to get a massage on the weekend at the spa from one of the trafficked women in town.

 

Next time you feel like you've lost everything, just remember there's a lot further you could fall, and your situation can most likely be fixed a lot easier than some other people's darkest days.

Too Good at Goodbyes

Sam Smith

You must think that I'm stupid

You must think that I'm a fool

You must think that I'm new to this

But I have seen this all before

I'm never gonna let you close to me

Even though you mean the most to me

'Cause every time I open up, it hurts

So I'm never gonna get too close to you

Even when I mean the most to you

In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I know you're thinking I'm heartless

I know you're thinking I'm cold

I'm just…

Part III (End)

The Saci by the Enchanted Cabin

Deep in the heart of the forest,

where silence begins to creep,

comes the Saci, fast and tricky,

with secrets he loves to keep.

Red cap high on his forehead,

red shorts shining through the trees,

he climbs the steps of a cabin,

surrounded by ghostly breeze.

He’s got just one leg, but races

like the wind, both swift and sly,

tying knots in horses’ manes,

and making corn vanish dry.

When the whirlwind starts to spin,

you best know he's close around—

causing mischief, stirring trouble,

then vanishing without sound.

Those who glimpse him in the jungle

feel a laugh, then sudden fear...

It’s the Saci clever legend,

from the lands we hold so dear.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parte 3 (Final)

O Saci na Cabana Encantada

No fundo da mata fechada,

num canto quase escondido,

surge o Saci, pé de vento,

com um passo bem sabido.

Gorro vermelho na testa,

bermuda de cor chamando,

sobe a escada da cabana,

com a fumaça o cercando.

Tem uma perna só, mas corre,

feito raio a despistar,

faz nó em crina de égua

e vive só pra implicar.

Quando gira o redemoinho,

é sinal: lá vem danado!

Mexe em tudo, assusta gente,

mas nunca faz mal de fato.

Quem o vê por entre as árvores

sente o riso, a confusão...

É o Saci mito esperto

do folclore do sertão.

'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse'

Rebels with Caws

I believe this bit of magic is a result of the sun flaring through two close trees causing this lens effect. My intention was to capture this empty bench in the sunlight.

 

Once I learn the difference between flair and flare, you can find me on Twitter

 

After a long week of hard work (probably harder cause this is Japan we're talking about), it's good to hunker down with the boys. Tokyo izakayas like this one are the perfect place to do so whether you're looking for polite mannered fun or drunk sports watching, anything that suits those needs.

I was on a high rise tonight, after shooting in and around sakura street and coming out with some serious shots I was feeling rather good. After heading back north across the scramble, I decided to continue focusing on tighter alleyways, there were just enough tuckouts and a usable composition around every turn. Can't say I'm surprised because it's Shibuya, but boy was I having a good time.

After navigating the streets a bit further I eventually came upon a familiar path, to Miyashita Park (where I shot my Tower Records shot a few weeks back) which had an izakaya of it's own. It didn't really do wonders during the day but with the lanterns and the sign all aglow, being here tonight was a very different story. It kinda looks like a video game segment. I wasn't even bothered by the concrete elevation for the trains, on the contrary it made the image more unique.

I tampered heavily with the temperature in multiple spots, some heavier and some lighter, in an attempt to make it more filthy and more crowded. Instead of using an AI removal tool, there were so few people in this shot that all I did was shroud them in darkness instead.

A few more photographers showed up a little while later, but I think I would count this as a hidden gem. Despite being in one of the most commercialized districts in Tokyo, there was a relative shortage of foot traffic here. And as usual, I will eventually work on more shots from this location. Everything has to count in at least one way. I love this shot a lot though.

Las nubes medias, como los altoestratos o los altocúmulos, hacen que la luz se disperse de forma diferente, por lo que el atardecer se tiñe de un naranja o rojo más intenso. En ocasiones parece que el cielo está encendido, recibiendo el nombre de candilazo.

Middle clouds, such as Altostratus or Altocumulus, cause light to scatter differently, causing the sunset to turn a more intense orange or red. Sometimes it seems that the sky is lit, receiving the name of lamp.

Crai Reservoir, Brecon Beacons. I was fascinated by the patterns on the surface of the water caused by the wind.

The B42 crew on this B41 begins the 2.5 hour task of spotting and pulling CF industries at Tank Spur. This place mainly unloads anhydrous ammonia tanks. In the winter time these places go crazy cause the cold air condenses the gas making it easier to unload and transport the product. The crew has 39 to setout and about the same to pickup. These places kind of suck on a local cause the haz mat has to be buried and you don't want to hold this stuff the rest of the trip to do the work, so this work will be done behind a bunch of cars. The loads to spot are on the main, as the crew picks up the empties 1st. This is the Sheldon Sub between Mason City and Spencer.

'Cause I am too young and too dumb to consider the terms

I'm breaking the law and I'll curse the day that they return

With a smile on my face as their heads hit the floor

'Cause I'm dying to melt through

To the heart of her molecules

'Til the particles part like holy water

If anything

She's an undiscovered element

Either born in hell or heaven-sent...

 

Either way I'm into it

At Porpoise Bay, the rock shelf at low tide has these rocks visible. Does anyone know what causes these? Geology always interests me.
