The Saga of Bovill: We were cruising down a two-lane backroad in Idaho, just after the discovery of a great old cemetery, when I saw an old restroom sign hanging on a post in a drive-thru town of no seeming consequence. Being me, I slammed on the brakes, pulled off the road, and snapped a pic. Meanwhile across the street sitting on the curb and smoking cigarettes outside of the local tavern, were these two women eyeing me as I took the picture. I believe I said hello just to ease their mind that I was not a threat. A car with California license plate is not always welcome in Idaho, and even less so in rural Idaho. Additionally, I’ll admit that two bleached blond women sitting on the curb outside of a bar smoking cigarettes are, at my current age, likely to make me think of them as undesirables. This is a story of judgement on my part, and of being wrong for jumping to conclusions.
So, as I was taking the picture of the bathroom sign and thinking of jumping back in the car and getting away as quickly as possible, one of the ladies crossed the street and walked toward me. Of course, I feared the worst and that she was pissed because I had parked on her property. But to my surprise she asked me if I wanted to see her little inn that she had placed in the old Conoco gas station. Who knew? Figuring that this old station would likely not be much to look at, but wanting to be friendly, we agreed that we would like to see the inside. Once inside, I was amazed by the “cuteness” of her little lodging. She took obvious pride in her creation and talked up a storm as she told us about the little hideaway. After some time in this little inn, she revealed that she was also the owner of the bar where I had first seen her and her mother (found that out later) sitting on the curb smoking. She invited us to have a look at her saloon, so we accepted and walked across the street to see it. She was very proud of the place and had done a lot to renovate the old bank. I think the second floor was once a hotel. She told us a bit of the history of the town and we ended up spending close to 45 minutes with the most interesting lady and her mother. Inside the bar was a little food service area with a dining table or two, a traditional bar, and a big wooden table with about 8 or ten good ole boys convivially imbibing. I’m pretty sure most of them wondered, “WTF” as they observed us touring the place. The nameless lady who owned the bar opened the bank vault door to reveal that it had been converted to a big fridge where they kept the beer kegs, six packs, and other items chilled. I would gladly have had a drink at the bar, but I had a lot of miles to go and simply could not do so. We thanked her for the tour and bade her farewell. The lesson you all knew was coming, and I continually attempt to learn, is that a book cannot be judged by its cover. People neither. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
Train of Consequences (3193)

A Santa Fe boxcar keeping a watchful eye along the highway. Because the moon was behind some thick rain clouds, the scene was actually rather dark, and I spent some extra time illuminating the ground and surrounding area as well as the interior and exterior of the boxcar so it wouldn't appear to be floating in a black void. This was photographed during a week-long 1582-mile night photography road trip with Mike Cooper.

LMAO I took this and all I could this was;
"This is what happens when you fuck weird cyberpunk boys and don't use protection."
“In order to live a fully human life we require not only control of our bodies (though control is a prerequisite); we must touch the unity and resonance of our physicality, our bond with the natural order, the corporeal grounds of our intelligence.”
(Adrienne Rich)
This was shot from a little terrace which is at the corner of Nepali ghat from where several priests do a daily ritual.
This young man is one of them, every evening he fills a big metallic vase with the holy waters of the Ganges and climbs a staircase which leads at the top of the ghat in order to perform a water- pouring ritual in a sacred well surrounded by five temples.

BUENOS AIRES
Antes yo te buscaba en tus confines
que lindan con la tarde y la llanura
y en la verja que guarda una frescura
antigua de cedrones y jazmines.
En la memoria de Palermo estabas,
en su mitología de un pasado
de baraja y puñal y en el dorado
bronce de las inútiles aldabas,
con su mano y sortija. Te sentía
en los patios del Sur y en la creciente
sombra que desdibuja lentamente
su larga recta, al declinar el día.
Ahora estás en mí. Eres mi vaga
suerte, esas cosas que la muerte apaga.

OK, sorry friends....I found another one from my 1982 slides that I thought was another 'fun' image. Again, with late afternoon available light and the only lens I happened to have with me in town, (50 mm manual focus), on my Canon A1, I got up close and risked facing the consequences of 'steering errors'! After all, significant snow falls are uncommon in the South....here in Atlanta, Georgia.
** I uploaded this image in 2014 and after having reviewed it in my stream again today, I thought I'd reposition it in my photo stream on flickr for newer viewers to possibly see.
Consequences of human sin.
Canel of Buriganga river .The Buriganga River, the lifeblood of the capital Dhaka, is now lifeless. The sound of clear water is no longer visible on the riverbed. Buriganga is a dead, stagnant 'river' of black, foul-smelling polluted water. Due to the navigability crisis, polluted waste from various factories and tanneries, illegal encroachment by some people, dumping of household and other garbage and rubbish into the river, etc., the pollution of the Buriganga River is constantly increasing. At the same time, the once lively Buriganga River has now become a lifeless dead river. The river that was full of fish, now due to plastic and human waste, the water that used to be clear is now just toxic black water. It seems that the Buriganga River, known as the lifeblood of Dhaka, is gradually heading towards death.

"While the Unbelievers got up in their hearts heat and cant - the heat and cant of ignorance,- Allah sent down His Sakina - tranquility (sakīnatahu) to his Messenger and to the Believers, and made them stick close to the command of self-restraint; and well were they entitled to it and worthy of it.
And Allah has full knowledge of all things."
(The Qur'an [48:26])
Sukaina is the Spirit of Tranquility, or Peace of Reassurance it's also a shortened form of the original word "Sakina" which is mentioned in the Quran as having descended upon the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the believers as they made an unarmed pilgrimage to Mecca, and were faced with an opposing military force of the Quraysh, with whom the Prophet struck the Treaty of Hudaybiyah.
"He it is Who sent down the sakina into the hearts of the believers that they might add faith unto their faith".
(The Qur'an [48:4])
The sakina is related to the Hebrew Shekhinah, the term for God’s presence in the world.
The root of the word is sa-ka-na which means "dwelled" or "remained in place".
This further supports the association with the Shekhinah as "indwelling".
Sufi writings, in expounding the inner peace of Sufi contemplation, which dwells in a sanctuary or in the heart, confirm the association with both Sakina and the Shekhinah.
Sufi reference to sa-ka-na as meaning both stillness and habitation adds to the identity with Shekhinah's indwelling nature.
Another Quranic association with the concord of dwellings in peace coincides with the attribution of the Shekhinah to matrimonial concord under the tent of Sarah:
"And God gave you your houses as a quiescent place (sakanan)." (The Qur'an [16:80])

I just can't stop shooting folks atop Larch Mt. in the Columbia River Gorge. It's such a fun place to be at sunset on a summer night.
Access is closed now as a consequence of the Eagle Creek fire, but I'm hopeful that we'll be able to return in the spring.
Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.
Rund 15 Prozent der Erdoberfläche werden von Savannen bedeckt. Damit gehören sie zu den größten und wichtigsten Lebensräumen des Planeten. Seit dem 26. Mai 2023 wird Besucher*innen im Tierpark Berlin ein Einblick in diese faszinierende Landschaft gewährt und sie können mehr über die unterschiedlichen Bewohner der ostafrikanischen Savanne und ihren natürlichen Lebensraum erfahren.
Ein wahrer Höhepunkt der neuen Tierpark-Savanne ist der 120 Meter lange Giraffenpfad: Hier werden die Gäste den bis zu fünf Meter hohen Grazien der Savanne zukünftig auf Augenhöhe begegnen können – wer sich traut, bahnt sich den Weg durch den Wald bis zu den Aussichtsplattformen über eine abenteuerliche Hängebrücke. Der Tierpark Berlin erreicht mit der Eröffnung der Afrikanischen Savannenlandschaft ein neues Etappenziel auf seinem Weg zu einem Zoo der Zukunft. Seit knapp neun Jahren wird der 1955 gegründete und 160 Hektar große Tierpark Berlin zu einem naturnahen Geozoo umgebaut. Um einen Einblick in den Lebensraum der einzelnen Tierarten und deren Interaktionen, Besonderheiten und Problematiken zu ermöglichen, werden die Tiere im Tierpark größtenteils nach geografischen Gesichtspunkten zu sehen sein.

Around 15 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by savannahs. This makes them one of the largest and most important habitats on the planet. Since 26 May 2023, visitors to Tierpark Berlin have been given an insight into this fascinating landscape and can learn more about the different inhabitants of the East African savannah and their natural habitat.
A true highlight of the new zoo savannah is the 120-metre-long giraffe trail: here, guests will be able to meet the up to five-metre-high graces of the savannah at eye level in future - those who dare will make their way through the forest to the viewing platforms via an adventurous suspension bridge. With the opening of the African Savannah Landscape, Tierpark Berlin has reached a new milestone on its way to becoming a zoo of the future. For almost nine years, the 160-hectare Tierpark Berlin, which was founded in 1955, has been transformed into a near-natural geozoo. In order to provide an insight into the habitat of the individual animal species and their interactions, peculiarities and problems, the animals in the zoo will largely be seen according to geographical aspects.
