I was committed to a sunset shot a twenty-minute drive away from this location when I was struck by a desperate need to evacuate my bowels.
Worse still was the fact that I was a one-hour hike away from my vehicle and the nearest toilet was a 10-minute drive to the airport from my car.
If you're not familiar with the Faroe Islands, I can tell you that there are no trees or bushes to crouch behind and there were zero toilets available on the trail.
My options were to attempt an agonizing one-hour hike back to the grossly overpriced rental car or simply bespatter my pantaloons and accept the indignity of a long hike with besmirched breeches.
I chose the agonizingly painful option.
I confess I almost lost control several times as tears rolled down my cheeks and sweat covered my forehead in a war of wills with my own body.
I can't imagine what the passing hikers thought of this lone photographer, moaning and muttering to himself while shuffling along the trail with the smallest steps possible.
I am glad to report that I won the battle. But it was very close.
After an exquisite visit to the airport facilities, I decided to head to this very famous waterfall in the hopes of witnessing a lovely sunset.
Within 15 minutes of my arrival at Múlafossur, the sky lit up and continued to perform pyrotechnics for at least an hour, almost up until midnight.
I don't mind those days of extreme highs and lows when it ends on such a high.
Thanks for looking

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed people can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others,
or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope,
and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring,
these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls
of oppression and resistance.
Robert Kennedy
We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to
participate in the process of change.
Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people,
can transform the world.
Howard Zinn (Historian)
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Of course, many of you will know exactly what "Amache" refers to. It is one of the sites of an atrocity committed by our government upon its own citizens. It's in Southeastern Colorado, just outside the tiny town of Granada--a concentration camp where Americans of Japanese descent were imprisoned for most of WWII. Why? A mixture of stupidity, racism and unreasoning fear. The Japanese attacked us at Pearl Harbor, therefore, no one of Japanese heritage could be trusted . . . not even Americans. And so they usurped their houses and everything they owned, save what they could carry, herded them onto trains (far too resonant of the Jewish experience in Europe ) and imprisoned them for years. One might think that this would have militant-ized at least a few, but there is not a single record of a Japanese American committing an act of sabotage or other treasonous activity during the entire course of the war. Almost 2,000 died of disease in the drafty, uninsulated, slapdash barracks they were housed in. These were unrelentingly grim surroundings--especially early in this process, with few amenities and, much worse, the knowledge that your new world was surrounded by high fences and barbed wire and overseen by guard towers with machine guns at the ready. For those who may try to excuse this abominable behavior by noting that these camps weren't as bad as those in Germany--nothing like stating an obvious, but irrelevant fact. How can the German's behavior excuse ours? It cannot.
It's an unhappy truth that the fantasy of the United States coming to the rescue of the world in WWII, saving it from despotism in a selfless, noble, utterly virtuous effort is not and never has been totally true. There is much that our country can be proud of during that time, but there is also a great deal about which we should feel great shame. Too many are content to ignore, paper-over, or deny the evils committed by our government and armed forces between 1941 and 1946, but to pretend they didn't happen is to ensure they will happen again. I for one do not wish to see us repeat these mistakes.
There is very little left to show that there ever was a concentration camp at this location--a few concrete slabs and foundations, some twisted metal--with only a few signs to indicate what once had gone on here. In this photo, you can see a bit of one of those foundations, with an appropriately gnarly tree in the foreground. I just happened to stumble on the place as I drove semi-aimlessly through a portion of Colorado I'd never been to before--on my eventual way to Rocky Mountain National Park. When I saw the sign for "Amache," it rang a bell, but it took me a bit to recall its significance. I believe the only time I had heard of this specific place was when I visited the memorial in DC to all those who suffered through the ordeal. "Amache" was one of the sites it listed. Later, I would more purposefully seek out "Manzanar" in Western California, where much more of the camp has been preserved. The next time I visit Arkansas, I plan on visiting the sites there, "Jerome" and "Rohwer."

I have been silent on much of social media due to big projects, but I must break the silence for this post. What is happening in Ukraine at the moment deserves the attention of every person on the planet, and more than that, action. The war crimes being committed by Putin’s Russia are not only traumatizing the entire Ukrainian population, they are designed to evoke terror. With the actions over the past week, Russia has become a Terrorist State, the most powerful such entity in the world.
We can apply all of the sanctions, and as a result the Russian Oligarchy is putting pressure on Putin. Russian citizens are being arrested by the thousands for protesting in the streets. None of this is deterring any forward advance. These measures alone, at least in the short term, are not enough – and every day matters for the sovereignty of Ukraine.
I have friends in Ukraine, and distant family. My paternal heritage is Ukrainian; In 1903, Andreas Komaryczka emigrated from a small village outside of Lviv to settle his family in Canada. My heart goes out to the Ukrainian people, redefining the definition of heroism by their actions. The world is watching, and I am amazed by the outpouring of support from governments across all continents.
I now live in Eastern Europe. The other day we went for a walk on the beach. I stared out across the Black Sea, knowing what conflicts were unfolding on the other side. This is not a defense of Ukraine, but a fight against a tyrannical autocracy. Ask the citizens of Georgia, Syria, Chechnya, Moldova, Ukraine and other nearby nations. This must stop, as it is spreading.
How can we help? Understandable that NATO doesn’t want direct involvement, as the severity of global escalation evokes the term “mutually assured destruction”. It may still be necessary, but there are other ways you can help – as an average everyday person. Here are my thoughts:
-Pressure your local government officials. More support for Ukraine, sure, but also lessen the burden for refugees to enter your country. If you have a Ukrainian community center, ask them what they need. We will be donating supplies for refugees that end up in Bulgaria later this week at a local Ukrainian centre.
-Directly donate to Ukraine. There are a number of ways to do this, through organizations like this ( savelife.in.ua/en/donate/ ) which can help fund the military and surrounding support structures. This doesn’t always mean supplying weapons. Many countries have offered direct funding to Ukraine, and guess what? The government of Ukraine has increased the salary of everyone in the armed forces as a result. They have also offered money to Russians who voluntarily lay down their arms on Ukrainian soil. If you have any cryptocurrency, I think now’s a great time to donate some. You can find the appropriate wallet addresses with an easy search of Ukraine’s verified social media channels.
-Share your thoughts. Peacefully protest. Show your support in every way possible for the people of Ukraine.
The general sense I hear from the “boots on the ground” from the Russian invaders is extremely low morale. A naval battle was called off against Odessa because the crews refused to fight (Odessa has the largest number of Russian-speaking citizens of any city in Ukraine. It was also incredibly well defended.). There have been reports of self-sabotage of Russian military equipment. It’s not going well for Russia at the moment, but remember that their military forces profoundly outweigh that of Ukraine’s.
Let’s not forget to put a spotlight on the tens of thousands of Ukrainian citizens living abroad that have returned to their home country to fight. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, should also be praised for his determination to fight alongside his people. The Ukrainian armed forces have more women than any other nation on the planet, and citizens of all ages, genders, and professions are taking up arms. Heroes are being made every day. Lives are also being lost in the process.
In the end, one thing is certain: the soul of Ukraine cannot be broken. Even if an occupying force takes control, the civil unrest and international support will mean that Ukraine will survive and eventually push out the Russians. The sooner that happens the better.
My heart goes out to the Ukrainian people. I will support you in every way I am able to. One of the reasons we moved to Bulgaria was the sense of safety that is afforded when the world is a “global village”. I will not stand for that safety being eroded. To everyone in Ukraine: keep fighting the good fight. To every citizen of Russia that knows their government is on the wrong side of humanity, if you all rose up you would be an unstoppable force.

One thing I committed myself to this summer was to arrive earlier at a locations, take more time to dial in comps, and then wait for the good light to unfold. All too often I’d grow impatient waiting for the light to come, so I’d start jumping around exploring for better (or for what often turned out to be the case – worse) comps. So I test drove this new goal this summer and soon found a couple things out: 1) I’ll always run late and will forever be sprinting down the trail to get in position (that’s just how I roll!), and 2) sometimes sitting on a comp is a fools errand, as the good light has a nasty habit of not showing up where you want it to. This shot illustrates this point clearly. For over thirty minutes I sat on a flower and mountain filled meadow comp as I begged the cloud and light gods to clear out gloriously over Reynold’s mountain. It never happened. What did happen were the skies kept clearing gloriously over my shoulder behind me. But I held steady, determined that my original comp would work if only I sat there a few more minutes. Finally, I couldn’t stand it any more and scrambled to cobble together a comp in the limited time I had before the show shut down. The light was good, the comp was at best passable. Now the only thing I can do is wonder what could have happened if I followed the light instead of entrenching myself in a battle of wills with mother nature…

Home to the Earls of Stair, Castle Kennedy is known to have been standing in the 14th Century.
Unfortunately, the Castle and virtually all its contents were destroyed by fire in 1716. Lochinch Castle was then built on the estate as the home to the Earls of Stair.
Today, the ruins of the old Castle, a scheduled ancient monument, stand at the heart of the Gardens. The present Lord Stair and his family are committed to both restoring elements of the Gardens to their 19th Century splendor and to continuing the Gardens’ evolution.

Tau Lewis’ hands-on process of making is committed to healing personal and collective traumas, especially in relation to histories and lived experiences within the African diaspora. In Symphony, reclaimed clothing and fabrics have been repurposed into an expressive portrait of a “mutable being devoid of gender, that can transmute into blossoms”. A clairvoyant spirit connecting geographies, souls and time, both earthly and ancestral, Symphony has eyes formed of seashells and arms welcoming in an open embrace. Reflecting on non-gendered motherhood and gardens as sources of knowledge and growth, the work envisions a world of radical care, self-reservation and resilience in which joy, freedom and triumphant love are nurtured and shared. --- --- --- canadianart.ca/features/tau-lewis-groundations/

About half way up the first section of the hill that had at least a 45 degree incline, we figured we were committed to our lunacy. After reaching a point where the climb got a lot better, we made our way to the top and waited. Looking out over the re-purposed Humboldt Mill to handle Nickel from the Eagle Mine in Big Bay to the north, the Mineral Range works the massive mill as they spot empties and prepare to take loads back to Ishpeming where they will interchange with the CN. In the distance is the tailings pile for the Tilden Mine in Negaunee.
The Art Nouveau is the style of natural harmony. Its committed goal is the establishment of the concord of the beauty and function without compromise. This is the last comprehensive European style enriching the European culture in the applied art, the fine art and construction design. The art of the Hungarian masters enriched the unique idiom of the Art Nouveau. Being a rich resource of the trasures of this style, the Hungarian Art Nouveau is a worthy competiror of the heritages of the French, German, Belgian and Aystrian Art Nouveau. The permanent exhibition consists of paintings, furniture, ornaments and interiors. It provides and authentic sight of the atmosphere of the civic life of the “peacetime” of Budapest for the visitors. A cafe of friendly atmosphere and shop of original silver jewelries and ceramic copies waith the visitors.
Opening hours 10-17, closed on Sunday.
1054 Budaoest, Honved u 3. Hungary
guideme.hu/place/house-of-hungarian-art-nouveau/
The building, designed by Emil Vidor, reflects the influence of Belgian and French architecture. At the same time, the facade of the building also incorporates Hungarian patterns, like the Zsolnay ceramics patterns. Not long ago, the building was entirely renovated. Besides the private museum operating in the establishment and displaying furniture, porcelain, ironwork and paintings, visitors can sit into a lovely café, too.
In 1907 the periodical Hungarian Competition (Magyar Pályázat) presents a description of the building in the Architectonic Chronicle section (Építőművészeti Krónika) with the title: Mr. Bedő Béla's Honvéd Street Palace. The designer, Emil Vidor, took good care of the building’s interior space as well, in the spirit of Gesamtkunstwerk (all objects in the same style).
This powerful unity of the arts and crafts in 1903 was a groundbreaking event in Hungary. The Bedő House was built only six years after the Belgian Victor Horta made his first fully Art Nouveau house, and in the same time with the Scottish architect, Mackintosh's famous arts house.
Even a contemporary description mentions the planned use of specially designed murals, the richly applied stained and ground glass, and generally the special design furnishing of the whole building.
On PBS Masterpiece Theatre “Vienna Blood” prodution the location was used and the Dr’s apartment was within this fine building.
The house was built by Emil Vidor in 1903, for the Bedő‘ family. The contemporary furniture, decorative objects, paintings and instruments displayed on more than 600 square meters faithfully evoke the beginning of the twentieth century. In this way, the museum gives insight to the visitor into the “peace-times”, the atmosphere of bourgeois life of Budapest.

Giraffe Guy has immersed himself into character and is committed to living his life as if he was a giraffe. The challenge of course is that he is not tall enough to reach the vegetation in the trees so he's resorted to carrying around a step ladder so he can feast on the tasty leaves. Unfortunately he's become a little distracted with scaling the ladder, and hasn't noticed the panther who has lunchtime ideas of his own!

I've committed to a monthly 12/12 photography challenge this year, I started a 365 daily one last year and only made it half way through, there was no theme and it became a bit of a chore tbh.
This new one is themed and January's challenge is 'Water Droplets'. Never done anything like this before so a bit of a learning curve, but of course that's the nature of the challenge, to push myself out of my comfort zone.
I don't have a macro lens, so I had to use the Canon 135mm. Slightly restricted by the mfd, as I wanted to get in close without cropping, but I can only work with what I've got. So, it is what it is. I'm pleased I gave it a go and glad I didn't fail at the 1st hurdle, by not even attempting it.

Shchusev was not a committed Constructivist theorist, and is best known for his design of the Lenin Mausoleum. This building, however, is a particularly well preseved example from the Constructivist era, although the depth of Constructivist principles here is limited.
The Narkomsem is located on the Sadovaya Ring in a neighborhood that was redesigned according to the general plan for Moscow by Shchussev. Although the urban planning proposals were never executed in full, the Narkomsem is still one of the most distinctive buildings in this district and is located adjacent to Le Corbusier’s Tsentrosoyus building, two buildings that were built simultaneously.
Some of the most striking features are the cylindrical corner tower, the overall asymmetry, the ribbon windows (particularly on the top floor), and the corner details, where the glazing is continuous around both internal and external corners.
