Enjoy a self-guided tour to learn the rich history of two American icons.
Once a great role model like Johnny O has met all the requirements and commitments that prove he has his priorities straight, then it's okay for him to have some Johnny time to do something for himself, and of course for him, it's spending some time on his lifelong hobby of singing, playing guitar and making music!
Otters at Satay by The Bay fighting over a tasty morsel. Unfortunately that's the end of my short interlude on "Nature/ Wildlife", should really be photographing more but too caught up with work/ other commitments. :(
for now our children are being fashioned into commodities, if you don't believe me, just search the terms, "human capital"

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

You know how it is, some pictures are easy to take, just point and shoot, but others are a little more challenging.
So, here I was crouching down beneath a cliff, up to my ankles in water, hiding behind boulders to keep out of the way of other Togs, in the pouring rain and just praying the effort would be worthwhile.
The other Togs were showing varying levels of commitment - or stupidity depending on your point of view. Two were sticking with it, one young lad was understandably reluctant to get his new camera out from its protective bin-bag wrapper, and the other two baled out early to go and photograph a toad.
These are a lovely set of falls, especially when the flow is good. Definitely worth a visit, whatever the weather!

project - For the Love of Our Planet
We have so many entrepreneurs and we desperately need people to discover something to replace plastic which is ruining our oceans, our lands, humanity, animal life, plant life, and climate. It is imperative that we are serious about this and find a solution immediately. Our children will suffer even more from our lack of caring, and if we don't do something soon it will be catastrophic!
The plastic pollution-free world is not a choice but a commitment to life - a commitment to the next generation.

If we say no to plastic bags, it will save millions of people down the line.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This is my last picture of the year, and the title says it all. No matter what tradition it is made in, it is the togetherness and love that counts! Please keep the love going for our children's sake in 2025. Please don't lose it; it is the most important thing in our life.
This photo was taken on my cell phone by one of my family members. I don't know who to give credit to, but BRAVO to whoever took it, you created a photo of the year. Thank you, and thank you, my family, for everything!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
Because several family commitments and a lot of work these last few months I could not devote much time to get out and enjoy taking pictures.
This April I begin to share with you my new photographic objectives.
I hope you enjoy it.

I thought I ought to deliver on my commitment to finally go back to where I left of my images for the year before starting the holiday ones and get a gallop on. I am many months behind. This shot is taken in the Laidley Creek Valley, south west of the town of the same name and on the road to Mulgowie. How I would love to live in a world of peace and gaze out on this rural scene every day!
Determination, commitment, focusing, balance, courage, strength. Some of the things that a daring climber must have. Now I am not a climber by any means but those are the words that came to my mind when I saw that woman climbing Cathedral Ledge. Cathedral Ledge is a 700ft tall vertical rock just a few miles away from North Conway, NH. It belongs to Echo Lake state Park and it is a quite popular destination among climbers for obvious reasons. From the top of the rock you have breathtaking views of the Saco river valley and the White Mountains. The good thing is that in order to enjoy this view, you don't have to be a fearless and experienced climber like this woman as there is a road that will take at the very top!
And here's a photo that I posted a while ago where you can see the view:

Αποφασιστηκοτητα, δεσμευση, προσηλωση, ισορροπια, θαρρος, δυναμη. Μερικα απο τα πραγματα τα οποια ενας πραγματικος ορειβατης πρεπει να εχει. Ενταξει, ορειβατης δεν ειμαι ουτε κατα διανοια, ομως αυτες οι λεξεις μου ηρθαν στο μυαλο οταν ειδα αυτη τη γυναικα να σκαρφαλωνει το Cathedral Ledge. Ο Cathedral Ledge ειναι ενας οριζοντιος βραχος υψους 213 μετρω και βρισκεται μερικα χλμ εξω απο την πολη North Conway του New Hampshire. Ανηκει στο πάρκο της λιμνης Echo και ειναι δημοφιλης προορισμος για ορειβατες για πολυ προφανεις λογους. Απο την κορυφη του βραχου μπορει καποιος να δει την κοιλαδα του ποταμου Saco καθως και τα Λευκα Ορη (του New Hampshire, οχι της Κρητης!). Το ευτυχες ειναι πως για να απολαυσει κανεις αυτη τη θεα δε χρειαζεται να ειναι ατρομητος ορειβατης σαν την κοπελα αυτη αφου υπαρχει δρομος που φτανει ως την κορυφη του βραχου!

As some may have noticed, my 2022 photography so far has been pretty heavily focused on Virginia. A lot of schedule commitments, and the fact that we have had a lot of special units leading on the RF&P, have combined to keep me relatively close to home. About 20 minutes south of here is one of my favorite places to photograph the railroad, and that is the big bridge at Powell's creek. The morning light here is fantastic, and how can you beat a peaceful spot with your morning coffee? Seen here is hotshot train I135, running in the gorgeous morning sunlight, at Powell's. Lest you fear, I look forward to branching out more coming up soon, with hopefully some 2102 goodness, and some more trips to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and Norfolk Southern's CPLs, on my priority list for the 2nd half of 2022.
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.

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 !
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.
