Monday was one of those days where it went 'wrong', but as a consequence I got some interesting photos which I'd never have got had it been plain sailing.
I decided at the very last minute to head for the Elmley reserve on the Isle of Sheppey after checking that the glorious sunshine here was also there for the rest of the day. Except that when I was in five miles of my destination I encountered a bank of fog and low cloud. And when I went up to the gate at Elmley, it dawned on me the place is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays anyway. Duh!
Anyway, I discovered this spot not so far to the west and managed to capture this Curlew along with some Redshank. This is actually an inlet of the River Medway and looks out on to the Isle of Grain.

There is a fascination for CorpoReality maybe this is because the human anatomy is not only trying to understand what we are but it also celebrates each part of us.
And I can’t think of any other aesthetical perfection in response to this amazing complexity concerning the human body which has such a level of difficulty in solving what we are, how we operate.
The closer I come to the skin, the better I can perceive what It is there under and I can feel the pulsations, the vibrations and the undulations of life, of that life that we all share.
Photography is a great medium in order to reveal what we see or feel and what can emotionally affects us, it is also an easy way to extend what many artists and searchers did before while reaching that freedom of removing a taboo connected to a deep knowledge concerning human anatomy.
This picture was shot along the holy waters of the Ganges flowing in Varanasi (Benaras).

'Nazi Billionaires' - Cover art
Corruption and cover ups by - and later inability to dole out consequences to - wealthy &/or powerful liars and sociopaths. Some consequences... and draw your own conclusions. Some people have never had to deal with them.
A relentless story brought forward into the current day by an accidental witness.
All this plus fabulous cover art.
Well worth reading. A sample:
"Naturally, most Germans were none too keen on judging their own compatriots, who were being tried for crimes and political convictions that many of those sitting in judgement had participated in themselves. Nor did the millions of defendants feel particularly inclined to tell the truth about their Nazi sympathies or their transgressions during the war. Countless crimes and secrets remained buried." [p. 213]

The peace officer is pulling over behind you now to give you a ticket for stopping on the bridge......:D They say a picture is worth a thousand words, unfortunately the clerk of courts will respectfully disagree.... ;-)))
Police tape around play areas in a local park. The dolls were left on the picnic table by someone else and not staged for this shot. Maybe a memorial to all of the more than 32,000 COVID-19 victims worldwide. Please do your part to defeat this horrible pandemic: follow CDC guidelines and stay home!
fearless isnt about not being scared of something, its more then that. being fearless is about taking a chance to welcome more possibilities. being fearless is facing your fears and realizing it wasnt as bad as you thought it was. fearless is doing something youve always wanted to do and not worrying about the consequences . fearless is being the one to break the silence, or being the one to reach out and hold someones hand. being fearless is trying new things, and closing old doors so that new ones can open . being fearless is being able to tell someone how you feel about them, even though your not sure if they feel the same way back, being fearless is standing up for yourself, and others when no one else will. being fearless is getting hurt by love , and giving it another chance by trying to love again, being fearless is being independent and doing something you thought was impossible without someone elses help. being fearless is being able to know what fearless is , and being it.
so be fearless - mj

Mamiya 645J, 45mm 2.8, 1 minute at F5.6 on Portra 160. (ETA: I think it was less ... maybe 15 seconds at F4? Hey, do I look like a guy who carries exposure record forms from Zone VI Studios?)
The original idea was that she would take pictures too, but she forgot the battery charger for the XE2 and declined my offer of a Nikon with a roll (or 2) of film. I have a feeling analog isn't that much fun when you depend on WalMart for scanning....
ETA:
One unintended consequence of Fuji GX680 ownership is that 645 now feels as quick and spontaneous as digital. So that's something, right?
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.

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.

The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries during and after the Second World War. The Spitfire was built in many variants, using several wing configurations, and was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft. It was also the only British fighter to be in continuous production throughout the war. The Spitfire continues to be a popular aircraft, with approximately 53 Spitfires being airworthy, while many more are static exhibits in aviation museums all over the world. The Spitfire was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. J. Mitchell, chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works (which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong from 1928). In accordance with its role as an interceptor, Mitchell designed the Spitfire's distinctive elliptical wing to have the thinnest possible cross-section; this thin wing enabled the Spitfire to have a higher top speed than several contemporary fighters, including the Hawker Hurricane. Mitchell continued to refine the design until his death from cancer in 1937, whereupon his colleague Joseph Smith took over as chief designer, overseeing the development of the Spitfire through its multitude of variants. During the Battle of Britain (July–October 1940), the Spitfire was perceived by the public to be the RAF fighter, though the more numerous Hawker Hurricane shouldered a greater proportion of the burden against the Luftwaffe. However, because of its higher performance, Spitfire units had a lower attrition rate and a higher victory-to-loss ratio than those flying Hurricanes. After the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire superseded the Hurricane to become the backbone of RAF Fighter Command, and saw action in the European, Mediterranean, Pacific and the South-East Asian theatres. Much loved by its pilots, the Spitfire served in several roles, including interceptor, photo-reconnaissance, fighter-bomber and trainer, and it continued to serve in these roles until the 1950s. The Seafire was a carrier-based adaptation of the Spitfire which served in the Fleet Air Arm from 1942 through to the mid-1950s. Although the original airframe was designed to be powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine producing 1,030 hp (768 kW), it was strong enough and adaptable enough to use increasingly powerful Merlin and, in later marks, Rolls-Royce Griffon engines producing up to 2,340 hp (1,745 kW); as a consequence of this the Spitfire's performance and capabilities improved, sometimes dramatically, over the course of its life. R. J. Mitchell's 1931 design to meet Air Ministry specification F7/30 for a new and modern fighter capable of 250 mph (400 km/h), the Supermarine Type 224, was an open-cockpit monoplane with bulky gull-wings and a large fixed, spatted undercarriage powered by the 600 horsepower (450 kW) evaporatively cooled Rolls-Royce Goshawk engine. This made its first flight in February 1934. The Type 224 was a big disappointment to Mitchell and his design team, who immediately embarked on a series of "cleaned-up" designs, using their experience with the Schneider Trophy seaplanes as a starting point. Of the seven designs tendered to F7/30, the Gloster Gladiator biplane was accepted for service. Mitchell had already begun working on a new aircraft, designated Type 300, with a retractable undercarriage and the wingspan reduced by 6 ft (1.8 m). This was submitted to the Air Ministry in July 1934, but was not accepted. The design then went through a series of changes, including the incorporation of a faired, enclosed cockpit, oxygen-breathing apparatus, smaller and thinner wings, and the newly developed, more powerful Rolls-Royce PV-XII V-12 engine, later named the "Merlin". In November 1934 Mitchell, with the backing of Supermarine's owner, Vickers-Armstrong, started detailed design work on this refined version of the Type 300 and, on 1 December 1934, the Air Ministry issued contract AM 361140/34, providing £10,000 for the construction of Mitchell's improved F7/30 design. On 3 January 1935, the Air Ministry formalised the contract and a new specification, F10/35, was written around the aircraft.

Two day trip to the area around Charleroi. We visited the ASVi to see the museum trams in action as well as TEC. Like the German Ruhr area, this is black country where mines and heavy industry used to dominate the landscape. Although mines are deserted and heavy industry is stopped, not all is dismantled. As a consequence, the variety and contrasts in landscape and atmosphere is astounding, even on short distances. Fine weather made for nice pictures with pretty skies on the first and fairly blue ones on the second day. A very good time was had. Thanks to my travel companion and thanks for watching these images of our trip.

Sometimes I see people sleeping on the ghats along the Ganges.
Where are going those golden dreams, who will catch them, could they be a key to open the palace of eternity that so many hope to find one day here, in Varanasi (Benaras), “The oldest living city in the world”...?
There are so many mysteries drowned in the river of golden dreams.

Conséquences de plusieurs décennies d'absence de politique cyclable intelligente en France.
Il y a tout de même eu quelques tentatives de faites mais elles sont restées à l'état de belles paroles ou se sont dissoutes à travers les couches des millefeuilles politiques, administratifs et financiers et à travers les guerres de clochers, de départements, de régions et de partis politiques opposés.
Le résultat est un réseau cyclable insuffisamment développé, médiocre car réalisé à bas coûts et non maillé.
Des kilomètres de pistes cyclables médiocres sont alignés pour les statistiques à des fins électorales et de marketing touristique mais les parties dangereuses ne sont pas traitées et la nécessité de mettre en place un maillage n'est pas prise en compte. (les itinéraires touristiques ou de promenade doivent proposer des boucles : qui a envie de faire l'aller et le retour par le même chemin? Je ne connais pas d'agence de voyage qui le fasse! (hormis le trajet pour se rendre sur place, bien sûr)
The consequences of the latest Etna eruption,the first of 2022, are finally visible in the cloud free view of the whole volcano area as captured by Copernicus Sentinel2 on Feb.18
A weak activity still is ongoing, marked by gas emissions and ash trails on the fresh snow, while the SE crater has changed its structure again. The majestic Bovo Valley stands out on the lower rigth side with its typical colors and shape.
