A monk sits under a strangler fig tree at a temple in Cambodia. It has been said that Siddharta Gautama (Buddha) achieved enlightenment while sitting cross legged under a Bodhi tree for 49 days without moving. Thus began a major world religion that today counts almost 10% of human beings on planet earth as its followers. Buddhism is often misunderstood as a philosophy and not a religion. It is actually both - a way of living and a set of beliefs centered around the ultimate cause of suffering in this life and how to break free from it.

Candid street photography from Nuneaton, England.
Counting on his coin and counting on passing traffic at this 'short cut' between the town centre and the supermarket. Being at the top of some steps allowed for this perspective.
It's grim down south. I grew up with Nuneaton being the nearest urban centre and I had never, until this visit to my family, seen anyone begging there. Six homeless beggars were clustered in a short space in the town and half of the town was a no-go zone. Small and major stores closed and shuttered, former major retailers replaced with pound shops and charity shops. This was during Easter with children off school and I barely saw any. The town was almost exclusively full of brow-beaten elderly and disabled people and I saw nobody smile.
It is truly grim down south and I am genuinely pleased to be living in Scotland now, near to a big city where there is life, culture and style.

It's funny how they used the same head for Count Dooku and Saruman, seeing how they're both played by Christopher Lee. Which makes it even more funny how Yoda looks remarkably like an Orc.
This was taken a few nights ago in New York City, the view from the hotel was incredible and I had the thought that this year was so full of moments that I wanted to collect like stars to have over me and look at whenever I wanted.

Earlier today, I was looking forward to a day off tomorrown, calm, quiet with not much to do at all.
I was wrong.
Heading way south tomorrow, again.
Hopefully, it will be a good journey.
The ever popular Winnats Pass. The proxity to road definitely appealed to me for a summer sunrise! I wonder what lives in that cave?

"Axel Gustafsson Oxenstierna af Södermöre (Swedish: [ˈaksɛl ²ʊksɛnˌɧæːɳa] (About this sound listen); 1583–1654), Count of Södermöre, was a Swedish statesman.[1] He became a member of the Swedish Privy Council in 1609 and served as Lord High Chancellor of Sweden from 1612 until his death. He was a confidant of first Gustavus Adolphus and then Queen Christina.[2]
Oxenstierna is widely considered one of the most influential people in Swedish history. He played an important role during the Thirty Years' War and was appointed Governor-General of occupied Prussia; he is also credited for having laid the foundations of the modern central administrative structure of the State, including the creation of counties."

How about one from the archives over a dozen years old and a sight probably never to be seen again. This was the one and only time I shot a real freight train on this bridge (not counting no revenue work trains) and it was a sight to be hold on a cloudy but colorful fall day. This is the caption I wrote long ago in those hopeful days when this was shared on RP.net when I posted there.
Three SD70MACs lead train 181S with 70 loaded 100 ton hopper cars at the posted speed of 10 MPH but as soon as they cross the bridge they'll be throttling up to dig into the 1.3% grade up to Hurricane Section. Export coal is a growing business for the ARR with each of the past five years seeing record volumes from 600 thousand metric tons moved in 2007 to 1.2 million by the end of 2011 and 1.3 million planned for 2012. Next year the ARR will have two dedicated coal train sets in service each making the 700+ mile round trip two times per week.
Located at MP 284.2, this bridge spans 918 ft and rises 296 ft above the floor below. It is the signature location the on the entire ARR mainline and was the most expensive and difficult engineering project on the entirety of the line. The American Bridge Company started construction in early 1921, erected steel in June and finished in August. To construct the bridge, they strung an aerial tram across the gulch and construction proceeded from both sides. The first passenger train crossed Hurricane Gulch Bridge on August 15, 1921 culminating the $1,200,000 project. For some stunning historic photos of its construction click: vilda.alaska.edu/digital/search/searchterm/Hurricane%20Gu...(Alaska)/field/all/mode/exact/conn/and/cosuppress/
if interested.
While easily the most spectacular point on the mainline between Anchorage and Fairbanks it is rarely photographed except from the train itself. This is because it is virtually inaccessible. I've lived in Alaska more than four years and have longed to figure out how to make this happen. Back in July I went through quite the ordeal and finally figured it out, so armed with this information I just had to go back when the fall colors were out.
On Saturday's during passenger season it is possible to shoot four passenger trains in the span of four hours. While on this day I missed the first train, I did shoot three others (the southbound Denali Star, the northbound DEX and the Hurricane Turn) and then was rewarded with this late running coal train after that fleet had passed.
Making the journey to Hurricane is not for the faint of heart though, since it is a nearly 200 mile and 3+ hr drive from Anchorage, then requires a mile long hike without a trail through the willows and alders in bear country. Armed with my past knowledge, my camera, rain gear, some snacks, a radio, waterproof boots, a machete and a shotgun (yes in case you ask I did shoot down a couple more trees!) everything worked out successfully. Railfanning in the Last Fronteir, like every other outdoor pursuirt is truly an adventure!

"One day you'll wake up and realize you've lost the moon while you were busy counting the stars."
I PROMISE I'LL HAVE THE Q&A VIDEO UP SOON I filmed it, it's just taking me forever and another forever to edit it. I mean, it'll be up at least before Christmas. At least.
It's sort of funny, but a few days after I read that quote somewhere I was trying to do an astronomy project where we had to take a photo of the moon and label the parts, but the night I went out I literally lost the moon. Like I could see stars but I guess the moon was chillin under clouds. The irony, though.
Love you guys; hope you're stayin happy and healthy and wonderful :)

A robust and agile hunter with excellent eyesight. Despite its age, the Wolf Spider is still counted amongst the deadlier Plague Mechs due to its camouflage and overall ferocity.
Reuploaded, apparently it wasn't showing up for people.

A portion of a beautiful garden I chanced upon. While sometimes macros help appreciate the individual beauty of a flower, and scenic shots of the whole garden give a sense of its breadth, I think this "proportional representation" best sums up the variety that the gardener arranged in such a way as to create this beautiful, inspiring scene for passers-by (and bees) to enjoy!
