- Hi everyone, currently I have little time and so I will restrict my commitment at Flickr, at least less uploads for some weeks. Thanks for your ongoing support and kind words. Hugs

The Teatre Lliure in Barcelona is one of Spain's most important creative and exhibition centres. It is a member of the mitos21 European network of public theatres.
The Lliure's objectives today fall within four areas: the stage, the digital stage, cultural action and educational action.
They are all linked by a commitment to society and the community, and the engagement with the city is combined with a national and international profile; contemporary creativity in hybrid formats, highlighting the timeless value of the performing arts as a whole. Making theatre accessible to all audiences goes hand in hand with managing an institution within the framework of the new parameters of economic and environmental sustainability, as it is about to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.
The Teatre Lliure Was founded as a cooperative in 1976 by a group of artists led by Fabià Puigserver, and is now a private foundation, in which the following public authorities have a shareholding: Barcelona City Council, Barcelona Provincial Council, the Government of Catalonia and the Spanish Ministry of Culture.

Thank you all for all your love and support, comments and awards, always appreciated and grateful. Much Love and Light to you all ♥♥♥
Baby, you pretend that things ain't what they seem
All this tension telling me just exactly what we should be
Now I don't mind us bein' some kind of casual thing
Listen, all I wanna do for now is have you come and take all of me
Can you put your hands on my waistline?
Want your skin up against mine
Move my hips to the baseline
Let me get mine, you get yours
Hang a 'please don't disturb' sign
Put my back into a slow grind (Slow grind)
Sending chills up and down my spine
Let me get mine, you get yours
If you see me with a man, understand that you can't question me
The feelings that you caught ain't my fault
Can't help your jealousy
If you can handle the fact
That what we have has got to be commitment free (Free)
Then we can keep this undercover lovin' comin'
Hidden underneath the sheets

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

The Art Gallery, a two-storeyed masonry structure with a corrugated iron gable roof, is located on the eastern corner of the site fronting Abbott and Shields Streets. This Georgian Revival building was designed to be extended to the northeast along the Shields Street frontage, with a repeat of the portico on the western end of that facade, but this extension has never occurred. The building has glazed bricks with rendered quoining and opening surrounds. The Cairns Art Gallery (formerly known as the Cairns Regional Gallery) was officially opened on 15 July 1995 as a not-for-profit company managed by a Board of Directors. The building is a restored 1936 government building. The dream of a public art gallery for Cairns began to take shape in 1979 and over the next sixteen years it took a shared passion and vision for the future, as well as the tenacious commitment of Cairns Mayors, Councillors, State Ministers, artists and members of the community to raise over $2 million to repurpose the heritage listed Public Curators Building into an award-winning gallery. The Cairns Art Gallery is now one of Australia’s leading public galleries recognised for the excellence of it's programs and collections relating to the unique heritage and living culture of North Queensland in the context of the world’s tropic zone and the Asia Pacific region. 22681
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.

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
Desde una perspectiva espiritual y simbólica, el nombre se asocia con dos interpretaciones principales:
La Promesa: Se interpreta como una persona que encarna un pacto o compromiso sagrado. Espiritualmente, esto sugiere una vida guiada por la lealtad y la devoción a principios elevados.
La Flecha Poderosa: Otra vertiente lo traduce como "fuerte flecha". Simboliza una dirección clara en la vida, la capacidad de alcanzar metas espirituales con precisión y la fuerza interior para superar obstáculos.
From a spiritual and symbolic perspective, the name is associated with two main interpretations:
The Promise: This is interpreted as a person who embodies a sacred pact or commitment. Spiritually, this suggests a life guided by loyalty and devotion to high principles.
The Mighty Arrow: Another interpretation translates it as "strong arrow." It symbolizes a clear direction in life, the ability to achieve spiritual goals with precision, and the inner strength to overcome obstacles.

Solo trip down to Bombo although I did see a couple of other Focus already togs there. There was a scheduled shoot there the day before with 16 people but I pulled out as I needed a bit more than 3 hours sleep. Getting up at 3:30am needs commitment!
The forecast was for big/ powerful seas and a rising tide plus cloud but no rain. Well there was a lot of rain and fog driving there from Sydney but it didn’t rain there. The swell was not as big as hoped but still got some nice happy snaps :-)
No filters as it was close to the first shot of the day (high ISO/low aperture but nice movement in the water
2024 was one of the hardest years of my life.
I learned so much about myself - strengths and weaknesses.
I broke myself repeatedly to form a more solid me.
I sacrificed true love on an altar of commitment.
I watched generations wither and stepped into the gap.
I gained beautiful flowers in my garden of friends.
I froze in the face of trial and closed within myself.
I created from the depths of my agony.
I screamed in silence for dreams unfulfilled.
I stepped up and made the choice - God over everything else.
I struggled out of the pit of surviving.
I don't know what 2025 holds.
But I know there will be continued pain... continued longing...continued moments of falling and picking myself back up. Moments of showing up for myself in solitude. Moments of nostalgia... and memory... that crush the air from my very chest.
And likely...Grief.
But through it all...
I will continue to persevere as best I can.
I will continue to cry out to God in my confusion and gain clarity.
I will continue to soak up the sun and dance in the rain.
I will continue to find small joys in the birds song.
I will continue to breathe in and out.
I will continue to believe.
I will continue to live.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
Forever is composed of Nows
Tis not a different time
Except for Infiniteness
And Latitude of Home

So I’ll see you exploring the world
I’m not changing my commitments to things wondrous
I’m a storyteller in images captured
The pictures in my room are windows to my travels
Adding joy to my life and hopefully others
There are many stories to be told, especially of beautiful places
The joys of a path traveled with an old forest friend
Even memories of past trips with locations that look so much the same
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon on the North Shore of Minnesota in Temperance River State Park with a view extending to the east across the waters of Lake Superior with wave after wave rushing to a nearby shoreline. In composing this image, I chose to include some of a nearby rocky outcropping as foreground interest to lead the eye into the image with the lake waters and then more distant shoreline with mostly cloudy skies as a backdrop.
A cruise aboard the Sam Patch departs from Schoen Place in the Port of Pittsford, NY, traveling west through the historic village of Pittsford, which retains much of its original charm and character thanks to a strong commitment to preservation.
It arrives at Lock 32 and passes through the 40 ton gates.

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.

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!

In the words of a song written by British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber~ " Love changes everything " I was moved recently as I read of his journey through cancer and how the love of his wife had played such a vital part in his recovery.

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).

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

It's time for a break from birds! Yesterday I took a break from Flickr; this should be fun, not another chore. Between recent commitments and the need to get my garden planted asap due to our brief growing season, the past few weeks have been hectic.
But beyond that, I feel like I'm going a little stale as a photographer - so it's back to basics. And in my life, basic means black and white.
The prairie lends itself well to monochrome: such a simple, yet highly graphic landscape. To do it well, some deep looking is required. Essentially, I've had to get over the need to please people by photographing the prairie the way it's usually seen: hay bales against a sunset sky, for example. I've done that, but I know... well, I know it's been done. Done to death, perhaps. Flip through any calendar that has at least one prairie image and you'll find hay bales against a sunset sky, or if not that, maybe a combine in a wheat field. Nothing wrong with that. But the prairie offers a whole lot more. There must be different ways to see it!
Over the next few days I will offer some recent and some older black and white takes on the prairie, my prairie, starting with this view of some Trembling Aspens: a thick tangle of branches at the top, thread-thin trunks below, and in between, the seeping inky blackness of nightfall. There was barely enough light to focus. I resisted the temptation to process for detail - the camera's sensor captured a whole lot more than what's visible here - and instead tried to maintain the murky quality of the subject as I saw it in the gathering dark.

Today's walk took me through Willband Creek Park, a wildlife preserve made up of marshes, ponds and wetlands.
This nesting box is currently vacant, but like my commitment to a daily photo, it will be filled soon. :-)
Have a nice weekend!

W945 is seen on an Hotham Valley Railway, (HVR) mixed train departing Perth Station. This working was at the end of "Festival Flyer" commitments which ran from 10 February to 10 March 1979, I think just at weekends. This move was on Sunday 11 March 1979. Photo: Jim Bisdee.
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.
