So I set up the camera outside the stables, the parents are zooming in and out feeding the new fledglings (of which seem to be down to 4 now) it’s real hard, they are so quick, so out of about 500 phots,,,,, this one
Another hard year for farmers and my best wishes to them this Christmas.
Photo taken through the window of an Avanti West Coast train to Glasgow.
A hectic few days for us, as some family and friends can only do some or part days due to work commitments. I won't be back for more than a few minutes until after Christmas.
Finally, I'd like to wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
Have fun!
I probably won't be around much in the coming days due to work commitments. Looking forward to catching up at the end of the week.
for now our children are being fashioned into commodities, if you don't believe me, just search the terms, "human capital"
This is an example of the dramatic aerial ritual where two eagles lock talons high in the sky and then freefall almost to the ground, when they release each other. This is a test of the birds' strength and commitment to each other. AI generated in Google Gemini.
A long time wish was to get up early and go to the AWD (Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen)
But when waking up at 5 AM it was clear that at that time the wish was not so strong..
Flickr Friend www.flickr.com/photos/esther5huis/

So we made a commitment to each other to go to AWD at 6 AM on the 19th of july...the next few days I publish some results... prt 5/5
Autumn in the Jardin de Luxembourg
This is again an attempt to photograph people and daily life in Paris in a way that keep the anonymity of the person. I will post soon some examples where people are recognizable. Here I was fascinated by the light on the chairs and his way of raking the leaves

Fordyce & Princeton (ex-CRI&P) SW1500 1504 departs Fordyce, Arkansas with a short string of cars for the Georgia Pacific OSB plant just a few miles south. Although the crew is running out of time due to other commitments, they'll safely complete their trip down and back before sunset since it's not far.
This appears to be a once-a-week thing, and apparently only on Thursdays, which was the reason I started off my week-long expedition the previous Sunday by heading due west instead of south into Arkansas.
We find these benches around the suburbs in support of the quest to end Domestic Violence. This blight on humanity and those on whom it is perpetrated need to see light at the end of the tunnel. They deserve commitment from everyone of us to the cause in whatever ways possible. This bench is in suburban Nundah in Brisbane. Indeed, change the ending for good and for better.
Sometimes I get lucky. This pair did not notice me standing with my tripod. They swam up close, completely undisturbed. Their gift presentation was also a gift to me; Clark's Grebes; Aechmophorus clarkii; Santa Margarita Lake; CA; USA
There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of abandoned homes strewn throughout the countryside in Alberta. They did not fall out of the sky, but rather, were thoughtfully placed with the intentions of building a life within the four walls and a roof - a very long time ago.
When I come across these homesteads, I just have to stop. I don’t know why I am drawn to these old relics. Fossils of the past. It is as if can hear their heart beat in the solitude of the countryside.
Who lived here? What kind of life did they have? Did they conquer their hardships or challenges? It is without a doubt that the occupants encountered insurmountable struggles.
I try to imagine the essence of the house. Were there moments of joy and contentment despite the harshness and difficulties of the environment? I find it incredulous that it still stands even though it has been ravaged by time.
My imagination begins to percolate.
I want to hear the happy, contagious squeals of children giggling as they raced to the warmth of their beds at night; the sound of Mother humming as she lovingly brushed her daughter’s hair by the fire, or Father whistling with an air of fulfillment at a satisfying day of work that had been done and in anticipation of the hot meal waiting for him as he walked in, through the door. Goals, dreams and aspirations were quietly shared in the secrecy of night. Stolen kisses and affirmations of love and commitment were whispered as the children slept.
I wonder if this house had been enough for them? Why did they leave? What were their parting thoughts as they turned the key for that one last time? So many questions. No answers…
I snap a photo of the old gal.
I start driving down the lonely road but take one last look in my rearview mirror. I see a house surrounded by mass plantings of flowers, a thriving garden, chickens milling about and a clothesline that has a congregation of well worn clothes that are being gently seduced by an unusually warm summer breeze. The children are playing Kick-the-can out in the fields.
The joy of their laughter is a welcome sound to their Mother and Father who are sitting together on the porch sipping lemonade and enjoying a respite from the monotony of chores. No words pass between them. They bask in the silence of their mutual contentment.
I see a house that was once brimming with life and love. It stands proud and tenacious as a testament to those who happen to pass by on this lonely country road and those who have the ears to hear the echoes of laughter wafting in the wind, proclaiming that this house was more than four walls and a roof - it was a home…
VERY FAMILIAR and colourful little bird, a far cry from a Dartford Warbler shown last. But a real joy to watch at the feeders, always on the move, breed fairly easily, What more could you want.

The climate change that the planet is suffering is warning us all that if something is not done now, there will come a time that will have no remedy, once again the scientific community has made it clear this week that we are not doing enough to limit global warming, climate change is not fiction or exaggeration, we must act now or never! Unless all governments change their energy policies, the planet will be uninhabitable, the UN chief warns, accusing some government and business leaders of lying about their commitments to reduce their use of fossil fuels and switch to clean energy. Although it is a critical situation and with a lot of pessimism, according to some studies, there are still reasons not to lose hope to try to remedy this serious problem, which affects and will affect many generations... let's act now! Let's tell those who rule that we want a sustainable world!
I encourage you all to contribute to this cause for the good of all of us.
As always, there will be many different opinions and thoughts on this, and everyone is respectable, but I think we can all agree that the earth is our home... and the home must be taken care of, right? ... because otherwise this will be .... Hell on earth!
Thank you all for your comments and fav!
Family commitments have kept me away from photography (and Flickr) for most of the year and I am not sure that this will ease off . . .
I photographed this DLR Tunnel from a moving train one night after visiting my sister (she lives on the DLR route).

GRIEF CAN TAKE CARE OF ITSELF, BUT TO GET THE FULL VALUE OF A JOY YOU
MUST HAVE SOMEBODY TO DIVID IT WITH.

Dedicated Laysan albatross mates alternate parental duties taking turns sitting on the nest and foraging for food. Tending the nest can mean a commitment of up to two weeks or more before swapping duties and heading out to sea to feed. This Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis) nest site was in the shade of a naio shrub on the sand dunes of Ka’ena Point.
The humanly side of photography contains at least three elements:
subjectivity
creativity
human initiative
If you going to purchase a camera and lenses you should try to be a photographer; however, for some (photographers?) laziness replaces human initiative.
This farmer stood there for hours, on the side of the highway, braving dust and pollution, to offer free food and sweets to the passing traffic.
I salute him !
"I would like to talk about commitment: about a photographer’s or the teacher’s acknowledgment of his function — his purpose. I don’t think that commitment is an optional thing for the creative person. I don’t even think it’s an optional thing for a productive person. I think it’s an indispensable thing. In one form or another, only commitment can rescue us from boredom and frustration."
John Szarkowski, former Director of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art in New York
