Les pinèdes, les garrigues, la campagne reculent sous les assauts des forces du béton et des constructions.
Another poster supporting action on Climate Change. It is amazing how our government leaders seem to live in a bubble of denial.

Get off your couches people and join a protest or go talk to your local member.
it's coming.
First of all I just want to thank you for stopping by my stream and show your love and support for my work. It's been an amazing journey for me as a photographer and I've grown so much and have more room to grow still. I'm participating in a small group exhibition at The Orchard Community this Sunday. I've posted the info on my blog. If you're in the area, please stop by, I'd love to meet you.
Secondly, I just want to say that I had a blast doing another session with chord-c yesterday morning. They were so much fun to work with and even though I sprang my ankle right at the beginning of the session, they took me out to lunch at one of my favorite Italian restaurants, 33 West Trattoria at the end of the session.
Lastly, here's my latest sp that I just took this morning. It's been awhile since I've done any of these. But I remembered doing a photo similar to this 2-3 years ago...my life is moving at such a pace that I'm left wondering, "what's next?" I'm going to be putting my house on the market within the next few weeks and it's enough to freak me out...I'm just praying for wisdom and insight to see past the current situation and look straight ahead to the future.
enjoy your friday everyone.

“Change is the only constant” ~ Proverb
The Main Terrace at Mammoth Hot Springs provides an ideal representation of the Earth’s powerful forces at work. The landscape surrounding the Main Terrace is in a constant state of change as new springs boil to the surface and older ones become inactive. We have visited this very spot at least three different times, and it has never looked the same.
Have a great Tuesday....and as always, thanks for stopping by to visit :-)
A trip down to Manningtree today to pick up the wife and work on the new lifts is going ahead and should be finished in July. The class 37 was returning Light from Wolverton to Norwich Crown Point after a stock move this morning and I was lucky enough to catch it!
Here is another shot from Canyonlands. I spent a long time composing this shot, and even longer trying to get the crop just right. I really don't know what makes it special for me, but it is one of my favorite shots from this area. Really curious to hear thoughts.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!

unfortunately there isn't not too much time for flickr at the moment - i hope that will change soon.
Snow & Gem Lake, part four - from Hikes of 2024.
This was a special and memorable hike. It was also, in part, miserable - I suppose that helps it be memorable. Hah.
I set out this day planning to hike to Wright Mountain via Snow and Gem Lakes. However, the day was moody and rainy (increasingly so) and I abandoned my Wright Mountain intentions fairly early on.
After cresting the rise above Snow Lake, I happened to take a few minutes break under a very sheltering tree, which proved fortuitous when the sky opened up minutes later and dumped buckets of atmospheric river. There were soon small streams of rainwater flowing down the trail. I spent time getting all of my raingear in place - pack cover, jacket, Ula rain kilt, gaiters, gloves, etc.
And then I kept going. Through the sometimes-drizzly but mostly steady rain. In general, getting cameras in and out of the pack with cold, wet hands (and having to take the pack off each time) realllllly slows me down, especially when an area is exceptionally photogenic.
Which... it was. Very photogenic, that is. The mist and clouds were ever-changing, the lakes a fathomless blue, the greens rich and interspersed with early autumn colors. A pika perched not more than fifteen feet from me at one point, scolding and singing the song of his people.
I kept going up, and up, and up. Slowly. Encumbered. Getting wetter and wetter. At one point I crossed an open scree field just before Gem Lake as the rain was starting to pound harder, and remember thinking to myself, "This is ridiculous."
Still, I made it to Gem Lake. Made a photo or two. Then turned promptly around and headed the interminably long way back.
It was this day that made me set a soft rule for myself - six miles. Six miles or so, max, in a steady rain. After that, I start to get saturated and cold and things become less... fun. In this case, the moisture also managed to damage my Nikon FM, badly enough that it wasn't working a few days later when it was time to enter The Enchantments.
So, in summary - when I think of 2024's hikes, this one was a mixed bag, fitting solidly into the category of Type 2 fun.
In other words: 100% would do again.

If you have the time, worth a look!
Another shot from my home away from home...NY Botanical Gardens. I never get enough of their Water Lily and Lotus Pond, no matter what time of year it is! I really do enjoy my time here! There is such a big difference between the NY and Brooklyn Gardens, Brooklyn, besides being small is more peaceful I think. But I love them both!
The beautiful changes in life are constant in the gardens, but none so noticeable as in the ponds.
I want to truly thank you my friends, for all your visits and comments. Much appreciated!
Be well all.....

Explore...much thanks!
...plus c'est la même chose.
When I used to frequent Tonbridge West Yard in the 1980s, taking the long way round from school to the station, there were usually a few 73s on show - albeit not the re-engined variety. GBRf's 73963 waits for its next task as 73141 shunts RHTT wagons in the background.
Locomotives: GB Railfreight Class 73/9 73963 "Janice" and Class 73/1 73141 "Charlotte".

Finally I can present the finished stud.io MOC.
As you may noticed, there are some minor updates. I am pretty happy with the result. It also worked out quite well building this in stud.io. I think until i didn't rebuild the Stud.io version in real life (a simple instruction file is available now) , so there may be hidden conflicts .
But I already want to share the file with you. download at:
Bricklink: download model + instructions
Rebrickable: partlist + instructions pdf
If you like to try yourself I what love to see your modifications! In my opinion this model is still "basic enough" to change or replace certain parts.
Now the key facts :
Total Bricks: 3356
Demensions : 56 studs long (44,6cm); 41 studs wide (32,8cm) and 27 studs high (22,2cm)
Updated my LVT..yes again lol..although this time the changes are much more obvious..i just keep messing with my older models changing bits here and there..i find it just as fun as a new build..changed some parts on the Willys MB jeep too..added some figs and BA crates which are really nice imo.. Merry Christmas once again guys ; ) ..lets all hope for a great 2014
This was only the second time the ceremonial Changing of the Guard had happened since the global nuisance occurred. It was good to see more normality returning.
Change but start slowly
the direction is more important!

"Pode haver um dia
em que a poesia
mude de endereço
deixe apenas tédio
mas enquanto isso
vem brincar comigo
vamos até onde
possa ser só riso
possa ir tão longe
possa ser tão lindo
pode ser brinquedo
pode ser tão sério..."

On our way to Jasper the trees were just starting to turn their golden color. Two days later on the way back down we drove in snow. But either way we met beauty.
I shot this rosebud outside Allhelgonakyrkan in Stockholm. On this occasion, I was there with my parents to visit a dog breeder, and they will return in a couple of weeks to get their new miniature poodle. His name is currently Hugo, but will be changed to Dexter, after television serial killer Dexter Morgan. Yeah... my parents are so good with names.
The sun finally rears its head after weeks of dull, gray skies. I only had my iPhone with me, but the best camera truly is the one you have with you. :)
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away)
In the wind of change...

Shifting through some old files, passing the time while it rains cats and dogs outside...
UP SD70M 4080 leads MPRAS soutn through Wilmington, IL. As you can see to the right, changes are coming soon to this area.
So it begins......a changing of seasons....of longer days which will slowly bring us through this season, which for me and other Northern Hemispherians is Winter (Hemispherians is not a word, I just made it up but it sounds good to me!)
Winter is not any longer than say Spring, Fall or Summer but it sure as well feels like it!
This Winter here started early, which is frustrating unless you are really into dry, cold air, overheated houses, salt stains,chapped lips, static electricity or other lovely attributes of the season.....Mind you I do love some parts of this season
**Oh and Vicky its with you in mind that I say this as I forgot to reply to you..**
I do love the beauty, the force of nature, the sparkles, the sun as it hits the crisp icicles
and refracts a gorgeous blue sky...the way smoke from the chimney's hang low in the sky on a very cold day...the way color pops in such a neutral landscape.....the crunch crunch as you walk
Then again.......who needs to be splashed by slush as some car ignores you as a pedestrian (and it is usually muddy slush.....) or that darned neighbor who refuses to shovel his share of the sidewalk or when you stumble in the snow and lose your keys or when the tips of your fingers feel like they are on fire when in reality they are freezing and you are near to be getting frostbite !! Or when no matter how many layers you put on......you cannot chase the chills aways
Oh I am sure I could think of more things
I am sure we all could who live in the Northern Climes
Whatever you celebrate or wherever you are........have a happy solstice !!
:~)
One last Fall shot for the road !
I would like to dedicate this to Vicky
