Due to other priorities and commitments, I was only able to get this shot up now, although this was taken a few months ago in May.
MacRitchie Reservoir is a great place to to get away from the noisy parts of the city, for some peace and quiet. During blue hour, it is surprisngly not very crowded at all, so I was able to experiment as many shots as possible in different settings without too much difficulty.
Alas, I was not able to get a good sunset that day due to very cloudy weather, but the blue hour view more than made up for it.
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
There is a moment when all becomes still and life is just solely about the two people in that moment

These two kids are a lot of inspiration for me. I hope not to get bored with it, which seems to become a series. Still untitled, however.
I was thinking, looking at the image, of how much freer and happier the times of my childhood were compared to today's childhood. But will it be like this or is it just an adult vision? One thing is certain. The world was smaller, the space around the house was wild enough for explorations of all kinds and, above all, we were always outside, without too many commitments, less controlled, without a cell phone and with the keys in the lock on the front door.
I found this musical mashup and found it interesting. Not many DJ can mix songs in a good way. I prefer one song at a time if this happens.

You have no engagements, commitments, obligations, or duties; no special ambitions and only the smallest, least complicated of wants; you exist in a tranquil tedium, serenely beyond the reach of exasperation, “far removed from the seats of strife,” as the early explorer and botanist William Bartram put it. All that is required of you is a willingness to trudge.
There is no point in hurrying because you are not actually going anywhere. However far or long you plod, you are always in the same place: in the woods. It’s where you were yesterday, where you will be tomorrow. The woods is one boundless singularity. Every bend in the path presents a prospect indistinguishable from every other, every glimpse into the trees the same tangled mass. For all you know, your route could describe a very large, pointless circle. In a way, it would hardly matter.

01/18, 2018 : Emirates orders 36 A380s worth US$ 16 billion. The additional Airbus A380s will be delivered to Emirates from 2020 onwards. Together with the airline’s 101-strong A380 fleet and its current order backlog for 41 aircraft, this new order brings Emirates’ commitment to the A380 programme to 178 aircraft, worth over US$ 60 billion.
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
There are only two options regarding commitment.
You're either in or out.
There's no such thing as a life in-between.

I got the heads up that 1943 ‘The Spirit of Union Pacific’ would be on the point of UP’s daily Lathrop-bound intermodal out of Los Angeles. Due to prior commitments, I made it trackside just in time to see it roll by me, so without a second thought, I gave chase. I was confident that somewhere along the line I would get good sunlight on it, but 100 miles later Mother Nature made sure there’d be no chance of that with high clouds coming into the picture just as the line turned west. Although I was a bit disappointment, I was glad I was able to get out on the road and railfan, even if it was only for 3 hours.
UP 1943 strains against grade as it climbs out of the Mojave Sink and toward Tehachapi summit only a few miles away.
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

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!

MUST HAVE SOMEBODY TO DIVID IT WITH.

Excerpt from the plaque:
Forever Proud, Forever Progressing: Recognize what was. Celebrate what is. Work for what should be.
Proud to support initiatives focused on financial security, affordable housing and mental health for the 2SLGBTQ+ community year-round.
The Ross Fountain is a cultural gem, reflecting the opulence and artistry of the Victorian period.
Its intricate design, featuring cherubs, mermaids, and water nymphs, exemplifies the era’s fascination with classical themes.
The fountain’s arrival marked a significant moment in Edinburgh’s civic beautification efforts, demonstrating a commitment to enhancing public spaces for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike.
It stands as a symbol of the city’s dedication to blending art and functionality.

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.
In the beginning of 2016 I made a solid commitment to myself to document the P&W as much as possible. When the announcement of the sale of the P&W came in August, the clock really started to tick. I have been taking pictures of the P&W since I was younger than Zachary, and it still didn't seem like I had enough. I did bring the camera to work everyday in 2016 taking advantage of every situation possible. Being on WONR based out of Worcester at 3pm, the long days of the year presented many opportunities. Once the former SD70M-2's were painted, we had them on and off, and every sunny afternoon, I made it a point to pick a spot on the Norwich branch. So here is train WONR posed, with an unlikely combo of SD70M-2 4302 and Super 7 B23-7R 2216 passing Shield Aerosol in Webster, MA on August 8, 2016. As of last week the 4302 is in the NECR paint shop being repainted into G&W orange and re-assigned to the B&P.
Work commitments were favourable enough for me to hang on at Farnborough for this, and I was very glad that I did! Celebrity pairing of 66522 and 66721 head the 6Y48 09:02 Eastleigh to Hoo Jn engineers. One Freightliner and one GBRf 66 working a Colas infrastructure train. Privatisation at its best?

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.
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 !
