Time and things change so fast. I had some Poppies blooming in my garden and when I came home around noon today a snapped 8 photos. Wanted to see them right away so I downloaded to my computer and when I viewed them I wasn't happy so I took my camera and went outside to take another few shots. In the 15 minutes it took for me to go from the first 8 photos to a reshoot light, colour and the bloom had changed. Posting this shot to remind me that time changes everything in just a matter of minutes, maybe even faster.
Changes
David Bowie
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame?
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
Went into Kirribilli this morning to shoot the city. Lots of cloud was promised and the gap on the horizon looked even more promising when we arrived an hour before sunrise.
Sure enough, right on que, the sky popped and everything fell into place.
Been a while since I set up for a panoramic image, but this location just screams pano, so that’s what I did.
This is 5 portrait images, stitched to give the attached final image.
Managed to get a part rainbow under the bridge too...
Cheers to Paul and Stephane for a great morning out…
Hope you like “Changes”
Cheers, Mike

"Rules of Change" by Neil Young
Out of balance, money grows
Corporations take control
Halls of justice got this wrong
Life cannot be owned
Halls of justice leave a hollow ring inside
When I try to forget
Things I know that no one knows but me
Wrong side of right, right side of wrong

All around us and way up on the hill the changes of autumn are beginning to show.
This is some of the boarding surrounding the grounds of the Harborough Rubber Works in my hometown of Market Harborough which has been left to a state of near dereliction.
I hope that the council's claim to have plans to restore it are true as it's a stunning old building fronting one of the main thoroughfares of the town and backing onto the river Welland.
Across the river there's an apartment building with small balconies. Lights from some of these apartments can be seen through the gap in the boarding.
I like the silhouetted leaves in shades of blue that danced about in the breeze.

With all the recent flurry of photos of the final trains to run on this unaltered single track stretch if street running I figured I'd edit up a few more from last summer's pilgrimage since I couldn't make it for the last runs.
Here is another look at South Shore train 508 (the railroad was running their weekend schedule on the observed Monday holiday) that left South Bend at 5:45 PM 45 minutes prior to when I took this shot at 5:30 PM. Yes, you can travel through time on the South Shore Line! Are there any other commuter lines in the country where you cross a time zone boundary?
Anyway, the standard train of Nippon Sharyo Electric MUs is led by #106, one of the single ended cab units from the 2001 order of 10 similar cars, the newest of the single level fleet most of which date from 1982-1983 though 14 more are a decade newer than that.
They have just snaked through the famous s-curve on 11th Street between Lafayette St. and Cedar St. at about MP 33.8 and are climbing the hill toward me at the corner of Spring Street. Dominating the background is abandoned Spanish Revival style circa 1925 First Christian Church building. I framed this scene up intentionally like this to highlight the historic church which has since been demolished to allow for the straightening of this curve in conjunction with the double track project that is underway forever altering this classic scene.

Throughout millennia evil used to hide its own existence as a defense strategy. Now there is a Change:
Evil publicly manifests its scheme in broad daylight now, right in front of everyone’s face!

Changement
Pendant des millénaires, le mal cachait sa propre existence comme stratégie de défense. Maintenant, il y a un changement :
Le mal manifeste publiquement son schéma en plein jour maintenant, juste devant le visage de tout le monde !
A classic early summer landscape of the Julian Alps. The melting snow brings large amounts of water that funnel and then create these beautiful waterfalls. The flowers and the dense vegetation of a very lively green create a fascinating contrast.
Continuing with my Positive Flags of the Nations
project with a tribute to climate and in the hope that we take climate change seriously and start to do something about it.
The shift to a cleaner energy economy won't happen overnight, and it will require tough choices along the way. But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact.
Barack Obama
In reality, climate change is actually the biggest thing that's going on every single day.
Bill McKibben
Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
Bill Nye
The cost of our success is the exhaustion of natural resources, leading to energy crises, climate change, pollution, and the destruction of our habitat. If you exhaust natural resources, there will be nothing left for your children. If we continue in the same direction, humankind is headed for some frightful ordeals, if not extinction.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Nice representation of the coming change of season. Summer on the left, autumn on the right. Sylvia Hotel, Vancouver.

It's going to be 65'F and sunny today! Another beautiful sky this morning. Looks like more changes in the weather are eminent.
I wonder how this juvenile Red-winged Blackbird is doing, whether that growth on its beak was a symptom of something wrong with it or not.
A Great Gray Owl spots or hears movement under the snow and quickly changes focus and direction in the hunt for voles.
Normally, BNSF's Longmont Switch power has been a pair of SD70MACs. However, the crew was notified by the trainmaster to swap power with the Buck Local as the Buck Local needed their SD70MACs to bring cars up from Denver later in the day. So for one day, ex-Burlington Northern GP39-2 No. 2700 and BNSF GP39-3 No. 2618 can be seen powering the Longmont Switch north up Atwood Street in Longmont, Colorado on February 18, 2021

Spent Saturday morning playing in the rain enjoying some gorgeous waterfalls and looking for fall colors. Wahclella falls is one of my favorites and still impresses me each time I visit. Color is the gorge is not quit at its prime, but beautiful none the less!
Happy Monday my friends and thanks for looking!
