Just like autumn leaves this is ripening sorghum changing colour , when it is fully ripe it goes a rusty brown colour . This is a seven shot pano .
I was up, showered, and beautified —at least as well as I can be— well before sunrise yesterday, excited to go catch it. Oh, and I was dressed, too… don’t want to get so excited that I forget the important things. At my age, I do try to make sense of madness. Not one for tattoos, I have considered (as age related issues may progress) having my feet tattooed with TGIF, Toes Go In First, for just such reasons. After all, socks are important, too. They keep your ankles warm.
As the ladies were still checking their eyelids for holes, I made my way to the beach alone just behind our rental house here in Nags Head. Look what they missed… ha! Most others here at the beach did, too, as I had this all to myself. Nobody but me and the trail of pelicans riding the air pushed off the far wave… they apparently thought this was worth getting out of bed, too. The camera is a great motivator. And while Earth and Sun have been through this dance seemingly forever, it never gets old. This is as good a reset for peace, joy, and wellbeing as I can muster at the moment. “Changes in latitudes...” In such a place as this, I believe that’s about right.
“These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane”
Jimmy Buffett
Today’s sunrise was epic, too… but that’s a story for another time.
In the past couple months I have grown an increasing love for film photography, you can bet that’s what this account is going to turn into. Taken on the streets of Chicago on my Canon AL-1, this was one of those grab and go shots I snagged while walking to Ogilvie so i’m not too sure where this was. Sure was a neat sign, not sure how the beer tastes though.

The wind never stops blowing on this spot. It is shaping the landscape and everything around it, including ourselves..

Tampere - Art Museum - Hyper 2024
Evan Penny, Panagiot
Tampere Art Museum brings to the city the most interesting international artists in hyper-realistic sculpture from fifty years. HYPER takes the viewer directly to the skin, close to humanity. The works explore the relationship between life and death, reality and fantasy, human and machine, as well as various deformations of the human body. In hyperrealistic pieces, narrative and surprising elements merge with the precise depiction of reality. The sculptures in HYPER are technically skilful, depicting the human body as it is, down to the smallest detail, such as a pore, a wrinkle, facial hair and droplets of sweat. The subjects are everyday situations, ordinary people and the diversity of human existence. This makes the viewing experience strikingly real and immersive.

Labourers working on a resort construction project,
take a break and head towards their base.. situated on the neighboring island,
where food and lodging is arranged.
Recently, the Labour Ministry reluctantly announced the figures of 'legal' immigrant workers in Maldives at around 75k. Not big.. they must have emphasized, when considering the amount of projects currently underway.
But it is very big, when compared to the local population, currently at around 350k.
That is roughly 1:4 ratio of foreigner to every Maldivian citizen. Young and old included.
In some local village Islands which are in close proximity to construction sites, the figure escalate to alarming levels, which also lead to much tension between groups and hence lead to many unwanted social problems.
There are approximately, 30 newly leased resorts, 11 airports and over 60 harbour dredging projects.. in addition to the numerous building construction projects underway (or about to begin) in the Capital City and in the islands.
If this is not big, then big is certainly on the way shortly.
The Government is taking steps to develop three mega cities in the following zones.. Gulhi Falhu, Bodu Mohoraa and Ihavandhippolhu.
"Change here for Bridport West Bay, calling at Toller, Powerstock, Bridport, Bridport East and Bridport West Bay" Unfortunately, the branch line to Bridport closed decades ago!
A new Dorset exploration has commenced, this time following the Bridport Railway branch line from Maiden Newton to Bridport West Bay. The distance is not much over 10 miles but is already proving rather surprising and interesting. Several more exploration posts will follow in the next few weeks.
This photo shows the modern day operation at Maiden Newton Station on the Bristol to Weymouth line. Note the double track lay out that allows a passing place on what is often a single track line in Dorset. On the far platform, the 11.38 is about to depart to Weymouth. On the near platform, the 11.40 stopper awaits a token to depart north, destination Bristol Parkway.
Can you see the guard at the end of the platform? The historic photo below, posted a couple of years ago, will have been taken from the other platform, more or less directly across from where he is standing. It shows where the Bridport Branch operated from at Maiden Newton Station. It is along that trackbed that we started our exploration.

My life is changing in lots of ways at the moment.
firstly I'm getting married this summer - I'm very excited!!
This photo shows the climate changes taking place: I shoot this little grebe at the lakes of Colbricon, in the heart of the Dolomites, in August, at an altitude of 1927 meters, where it had nested (the couple had 2 chicks). Usually little grebes do not nest above 500 meters, and in any case in 50 years that I frequent the area I had never seen one. In the same period I saw a couple of grey herons at the Calaita lake, at over 1600 meters above sea level: even in this case I had never seen herons in the area.
Apparently the higher temperatures, especially at night, and the frequent thermal inversion are changing the habits of the fauna...
HBM, friends !
"Sit by my side, come as close as the air,
Share in a memory of gray;
Wander in my words, dream about the pictures
That I play of changes."

The bosses shut the office early today as they're trying to avoid a visit by the three spirits of Christmas so I stopped off on the way home to shoot some of London's landmarks with my trusy old GF2. Here's a view of St Paul's Cathedral from the One New Change shopping/office building.

Klaipėda, Lithuania. The beaches in Lithuania are lined with these wooden boxes - basically they are changing rooms. As many Lithuanian girls like to go to the beach in high heels and evening gowns (or so it seems), these are quite useful.
Some moody atmospherics few weeks ago as the weather changed. Different layers of cloud mixing with occasional blue sky moments.
Changes to Metra's locomotive roster are occuring and will be occuring for the next few years. One of the first such changes is the aquisition of Amtrak's former Surfliner F59PHI's. Here we see one leading an outbound Milwaukee District West line train to Elgin Illinois under the now modernized signals at CP Morgan in Chicago Illinois.
Autumn moves through the summer mead. Plants go to sleep to wake up again after the snow melts, and the spring sun shines upon the land.
