"Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars
-One Republic"
With the early sunsets, I had thought that I would not have the chance to shoot the Milky Way on this Perth trip. Thankfully, when we made a pit stop on the highway back to the hotel, this sight greeted us.
Hurriedly, the tripod was set up and this was shot. Unfortunately the Milky Way was so high up that foreground was not really possible.

I stopped to photograph horses in the snow and noticed several barn cats in this shed full of hay bales. How many can you find?

Theme: Counting on Hearts - Icon for Hire

I'm counting on hearts like yours
to keep me burning,
to keep me up
'til two in the morning.
You be bright
when I'm starting to rust,
you be 'Why?'
behind the 'What?'
Indeed, some things are not as they seem. Us cats on the 'walks, you could say we are holding onto yesterday's dreams. But you know what? Some things are very much worth fighting for. The life of the cats ruling the rooftops and catwalks, that was something we took to the grave with us. Now, only embers remain cycled through the dust of the ages. Yet, if you listen closely, you may hear the subtle purring flutter through the night sky. Maybe the hairs on the back of your neck may raise, as if indicating that some predator is toying with you as their prey. That shiver you feel on the rooftop during the night, can you be certain that it is merely a subtle cool breeze, or could there be something calling out from nights of the depths of the past to remind you that you were not always safe to be up here? Maybe you still are not, and some ghost during the twilight stalks you and seeks to give you a fright, and remind you of those cats who used to live and fight for their right to rule the rooftops they once called home.
But I will never let go,
never let up my hold,
'cause I know
once you feel it
you can't unfeel it.
once you dream it
you can't undream it.

I first began participating in Area 7 of the Sacramento CBC (Christmas Bird Count) in 1997 as a Sub-leader of the area in West Sacramento, CA that has Jefferson Blvd on the west, Washington Lake that encompasses the Port of Sacramento on the north and the Deep Water Channel on the west that joins the Sacramento River just north of Rio Vista, CA. This was the first time that I have observed a Cackling Goose in this sub-area.
"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."

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.

My tenth Winter Count for Utata.
The Château Frontenac was named in honour of Louis de Buade, Count of Frontenac, who was governor of the colony of New France from 1672 to 1682 and 1689 to 1698. The Château was built not too far from the historic Citadelle, whose construction Frontenac had begun at the end of the 17th century. The Quebec Conference of 1943, at which Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt discussed strategy for the Second World War, was held at the Citadelle while much of the staff stayed nearby in the Château Frontenac.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.
A 35 man (plus guides) trip to the Ukraine exploring Chernobyl, the village, Duga 3, Pripyat and Kiev including Maidan (Independence Square) and observing the peaceful protests underway.
Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!
