I took this snap with help of my 2 Bhatija :)

Amidst the bustling streets of Kathmandu, near Shree Pashupatinath, I came across a scene that has become emblematic of the city—an old man dressed in yellow robes, reminiscent of a Sadhu. Sadhus, wandering ascetics devoted to a spiritual path, can be frequently spotted in the streets, particularly in areas frequented by tourists. They wear distinctive saffron or yellow robes, often adorned with sacred symbols, and carry an aura of spiritual significance. It's worth noting that authentic Sadhus embody renunciation, deep spiritual practice, and an unwavering commitment to their chosen path. While encounters with genuine Sadhus remain meaningful, it is important to be discerning in distinguishing them from those who may dress similarly for different reasons - Shree Pashupatinath, Kathmandu, Nepal

That certainly does not describe my vintage sign shooting accomplishments, but there are many out there, like my contacts, that get that job done right.
In any case, I do head out when I can and see what's left to be seen. This cool, old motel sign in Stockton, Ca. still lights up, too. I met the owners while snapping this and they became happy as a lark when they realized that it was their nifty sign I was photographing. Before that, I believe they thought I was the IRS or something.
Anyway, thanks for having a look!
Work commitments meant i missed the outbound legs of the three Mazey day specials that passed through Teignmouth today but i was determined to get some shots of the return trips.
A fog bank that descended along the coast of south devon did its best to scupper all my plans so i headed inland where the fog had not penetrated.
This shot was taken high on a hill overlooking the River Exe with Lympstone Commando Marine training barracks on the north shore.

I decided that if I had to sum up 2016 in one word it would be: commitment. The end of this daily self-portrait challenge is proof of it, but for me it extends beyond that. I committed to creating my first meaningful fine art series, I committed to finishing my novel, I committed to starting a school in India, and I committed myself more than ever to my business. Most of all I feel committed to my happiness, health and the responsibility we all have to each other.
I've also decided to choose a word to preemptively define 2017. That word is power. That is why I created this image. We are so incredibly fortunate to be free thinking individuals who can dream and grow and create. I am creating a new year for myself. I will not wait for it to happen, or expect good things without working for it. I am going to live in my POWER, and I am going to do everything I can to help others live in their POWER.
The most amazing creations come from the power that we manifest. My greatest wish is that everyone reading this can cultivate your own unique sense of power and live it everyday, even when circumstances and situations try to steer you away from it. We are stronger than that.
Day 31 of my December self-portrait challenge. I love you all, truly.

I apologise for not contributing anything to Flickr for a few days. Sometimes life just gets too busy.
A pair of Arriva Trains Wales Class 142 'Pacer' multiple units heads towards Cardiff Queen Street station on Saturday 9th January 2016. I was waiting, along with many other people, to gain access to the building just out of view on the right. Unfortunately the security guard had failed to turn up at the appointed time to open up, so naturally I grasped the opportunity for some railway photography.
Incidentally, I didn't plan to get these passers-by in the shot; they just happened to be there at the moment the 'Pacer' rolled past.

I am getting over a cold and skipped actually taking a photo today in order to get some work done, but I figured it was as good a time as any to post one of my favorite photos from the wedding I shot a few weekends ago. The entire experience was amazing, incredibly stressful, and beyond worth it in so many ways. I am so grateful to this awesome couple for letting me into their lives for a few short, but extremely important, days of their lives, and I am excited to see where other photography like this will take me.
Maybe being together is just from habit. Perhaps the habit is just comfortable and you both grow weary together accepting all that comes your way. Perhaps we just don't have the energy to make changes. Best yet, maybe we just belong together no matter what.
Happy Fence Friday
Things have conspired to keep me from Flickr recently but I haven’t forgotten you and hope to be back soon. I miss all your amazing photos!
This image is from an engagement photo shoot earlier today on the Oregon Coast. The happy couple seems 100 percent committed to this relationship.

E' un periodo di intenso lavoro e di impegni che purtroppo mi costringe a non poter avere il piacere di essere qui.
Anche se questo non è propriamente il mio genere fotografico, mi sono cimentato con grande onore e piacere in questa bella iniziativa e nella realizzazione di questo calendario che è ormai una realtà consolidata ed attesa puntualmente ogni anno.
La serata della presentazione del calendario è fissata per domenica 9 Agosto, patrocinata dal comune di Agropoli (SA) e si svolgerà nel suggestivo castello medievale di Agropoli(SA) con inizio alle 21,30.
L' ingresso è gratuito e oltre alla presentazione degli scatti del calendario e del backstage, nei vari angoli del castello , si svolgeranno coreografie, scenografie spettacoli di danza a tema e naturalmente... champagne, frutta, degustazione di vini cocktails...ecc.
E' inutile dire che avrei piacere di potervi ritrovare e incontrare in questa, che sembra proprio prospettarsi una bella e simpatica nottata!
9 Agosto 2009 - Castello Medievale di Agropoli(SA) - Start 21,30.
This is a period of intense work and commitments that I have to unfortunately not able to have the pleasure to be here.
Although this is not exactly my kind photography, I have grappled with great honor and pleasure in this great initiative and organization of this calendar which is now a reality and expectations every year.
The evening of the presentation of the calendar is set for Sunday, August 9, sponsored by the town of Agropoli (SA) and will take place in the beautiful medieval castle of Agropoli (SA) starting at 21.30.
The entrance is free and in addition to presentation of the calendar shots and backstage, at the various corners of the castle, will take place choreography, set designs dance theme and of course ... champagne, fruit, wine tasting cocktails ... etc..
It is needless to say that I pleased to be able to find and meet in this one, which seems to contemplate a beautiful and nice night!
August 9, 2009 - Medieval Castle of Agropoli (SA) - Start 21.30.
Probably the last autumn shot from me as winter has well and truly set in, looking forward to the snow now.
A large fire ripped through this area some time ago, the pines in the distance were spared and this straggly lone birch as everything around it burned. Even the fence posts succumb with only one surviving on the left.
I must say a big thank you to all who have viewed, hit the F button and left comments on my pictures recently. I haven't been as active on Flickr to reciprocate all the kind comments due to other commitments.

… one month yes, and one no, my Provincial Health Authority of Messina sends me on a three-day mission (from Taormina) to the Civil Hospital of Lipari, located in via Sant'Anna…In my spare time, free from work commitments, I dedicate myself to my photographic passion; the photographs that I present here were all taken in the months of this year 2023; I made various photos according to the dictates of street photography (or street photography), I made some portraits, having always met people in the hand, very willing to let themselves be photographed (perhaps it will be ... that the people of the island are open-minded, eager and used to to communicate with strangers..?!), some portraits were made of people intent on their work; all the photos were taken in the city of Lipari, except for two taken in the port of Milazzo, the departure and arrival point of the hydrofoils (but there is also the ship) for the Aeolian Islands. I met (and photographed) the sweet lady, very good and appreciated American artist, Mrs Janette Little (photographed together with her affable and very nice husband, of Aeolian origins); of the talented artist mrs Janette in addition to her portrait I propose two of her works, I had noticed them some time ago, I had wanted to bring some photos of these works with me, now I propose them in black and white because this is a monochrome series, I note however that the originals are in color, for those wishing to see his works, I add the link to his web site below.
…………………………………………..
….un mese si, ed uno no, la mia Azienda Sanitaria Provinciale di Messina, mi manda in missione per tre giorni (da Taormina) all’Ospedale Civile di Lipari, situato in via Sant’Anna …Nei ritagli di tempo, libero dagli impegni di lavoro, mi dedico alla mia passione fotografica; le fotografie che qui presento sono state tutte realizzate nei mesi di quest’anno 2023; ho realizzato varie foto secondo i dettami della fotografia di strada (o street photography), ho realizzato alcuni ritratti, avendo incontrato sempre persone alla mano, molto disponibili nel lasciarsi fotografare (sarà forse…che la gente isolana è di mentalità aperta, desiderosa ed abituata a comunicare con gli estranei..?!), alcuni ritratti sono stati eseguiti a persone intente nei loro lavori; tutte le foto sono state realizzate nella città di Lipari, tranne due realizzate nel porto di Milazzo, scalo di partenza e di arrivo degli aliscafi (ma c’è anche la nave) per le isole Eolie. Ho conosciuto (e fotografato) la dolcissima signora, bravissima ed apprezzata artista, di origini americane mrs Janette Little (fotografata insieme al suo affabile e simpaticissimo marito, di origini eoliane); della bravissima artista mrs Janette oltre al suo ritratto propongo due sue lavori, li avevo notati tempo fa, avevo desiderato portare con me alcune foto di queste opere, adesso le propongo in bianco e nero perché questa è una serie in monocromia, faccio notare però che gli originali sono a colori, per chi desiderasse vedere i suoi lavori, aggiungo sotto il link al suo sito sul web.

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!
I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...
I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.
Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.
In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.

His commitment to putting animals at ease with him has meant that he’s needed to go to some extremes: “I once had a project with badgers that meant I needed to get rid of my ‘human’ scent. Before I set off, I went to a farm for the day and I lay around in the mud to lose my smell so I could get closer to the animals and earn their trust.”- Konsta Punkka

Pilgrims walk through the stone-basalt cut walkways through the 'Jerusalem' of Africa in holy Lalibela, Ethiopia.
During Ethiopian Orthodox Christmas, tens of thousands of pilgrims make their way to the holy ancient churches carved straight out of the stone. One has to traverse various paths and caves in order to move between each magnificent and still active church. See the rest of my Ethiopia album for photos of the churches themselves.

I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door. Marla Gibbs
These vintage gems from photography’s golden age—Konica Auto S2 and S3—still capture life’s magic. Built in the 1970s, they’ve survived the digital tsunami. No apps, no filters—just gears and film that turn moments into art.
In our fast-scrolling world, they’re a pause button. Loading film becomes meditation. Every click is a commitment, not a casual swipe. Their dents and scratches? Proof of lifetimes documenting love, adventures, and quiet mornings.
Maybe. If we pass them on. Imagine your grandchild holding one: “You waited days to see a photo?!” But that’s the point. These cameras teach patience—that some beauty can’t be instant. Keep them alive, and they’ll keep whispering stories for another 50 years.
Will you help write their next chapter?
didn't get as much snow as we thought we would. But the schools are still closed.

A combination of poor weather and work commitments has resulted in a frustrating week or two when I have had no time to get out with the camera. This one is from my trip to Seaham a couple of weeks ago.
- I wish there were more parents who cared about their kids like this blessed Hummingbird does....

- Eu gostaria que houvesse muitos mais pais que se preocupavam com seus filhos assim como este abençoado Beija-Flor faz....

Many thanks to 'robmcrorie' and '47401 Terry Callaghan' who gave me the exciting news that this working was to be hauled by a Tug today - for the first time I believe. Of extra interest, the wagons are good old fashioned four wheeled tanks, previously newer bogie tanks were used on this service with a class 70 up front.
Work commitments meant that the only choice of location could be the closest point on the line to where I was working, Glendon east 'box and sidings were once close to here. There is plenty of evidence of the line upgrade, sadly the new fencing is part of that work.
"John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar... with a pencil. With a $*&%(* pencil. Then, suddenly, one day, he asked to leave. It's over a woman, of course. So, I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task - a job no one could have pulled off. The bodies he buried that day laid the foundation of what we are now. And then my son, a few days after his wife died, you steal his car... and kill his %#%&* dog."
This was taken through the sixth floor window of an abandoned and deteriorating building on the East side of Cleveland. I remember it was such a beautiful day to go urban exploring.
Cleveland has always been like a second home for me. I grew up about 45 minutes south in the farmlands of NE Ohio.
The title of this one is what I think of when I think of Cleveland. The natives from the city and surrounding areas are very proud, committed, strong and hardworking people.

In many countries, it was last Sunday in Belgium.
I wish all the daddies a good day. Hope you can see them, hug them and get hugged.
Girls are known to be daddy's girls.
However to boys they can very much be the model in their lives.
FATHERS, don't underestimate your importance and impact.
It is never easy being a parent!
Each child is an individual... does not come with an instruction manual! LOL
A lifelong commitment, that's being a parent, to care about smaller and bigger things, the being there, we have a duty, the morals that we teach them... that's what will (ideally?) shape them, let's not underestimate the impact we have on our nearest and dearest.
The 'father' figure is often one of strength and discipline, never forget that bit of tenderness, so needed in all our lives.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)
