A super wide view of Nymphenburg Palace as seen from the east with some impressive clouds above.
Schloss Nymphenburg is a palace located in the west of Munich and one of the main tourist attractions of the city, with yearly over 300,000 visitors,
The palace is the main summer residence of the House of Wittelsbach, former rulers of Bavaria.
Commisioned in 1664, the central building in the style of an Italian Villa was completed in 1675. Gradually the sides were added and the current appearance was reached in 1716.

White Night by Mary Oliver
All night
....
I float
in the shallow ponds
while the moon wanders
burning,
bone white,
among the milky stems.
Once
I saw her hand reach
to touch the muskrat’s
small sleek head
and it was lovely, oh,
I don’t want to argue anymore
about all the things
I thought I could not
live without! Soon
the muskrat
will glide with another
into their castle
of weeds, morning
will rise from the east
tangled and brazen,
and before that
difficult
and beautiful
hurricane of light
I want to flow out
across the mother
of all waters,
I want to lose myself
on the black
and silky currents,
yawning,
gathering
the tall lilies
of sleep.
Looking close... on Friday!
Animales Pequeños con Alas/Small Animals with Wings (18 de Junio/June 18)
It is very sad to find this current reality, the absence of bees, I tried for three days to find bees in my sector and I did not find them, a year ago we were surrounded by them ... today we suffer an environmental crisis
Currently (as of date taken) the largest mural in Oakland, CA. Called "Zero Hunger" it is one of six across the United States meant to bring attention to the issue of world hunger. Mural shows a smiling young Black girl with sunlight on her face, holding a bundle of wheat. The 190 feet tall piece is on the Marriott Hotel building at Broadway & 11th Street. It will be there indefinitely. The mural's artist is Victor Ash 😍💖
With the lack of opportunity to move freely during Covid 19, I decided to take a series of shots of reflections in the local streams, ponds, ditches and a short stretch of the River Thames.
Current
May. Rain has been pounding the Adirondacks for several days, and supersaturated the mountains. Seasonal streams have awakened, runoff and percolation feed the flow, all that water finding it’s lowest level and charging the whole Schroon ecosystem. Some miles below the dam at the lake, the river picks up speed on gradients through boulder fields, now inundated and drowned under the flow. They are immovable, their resistance invisible but for the standing waves throughout the volume. A light mist hovers above the raging current. Standing this close, I can feel the vibration of it’s power, urging my blood pressure higher to match the atmosphere I’m in. Here is spring as allegory to life, the relentless wildness of youth, bursting to race ahead towards that age when you don’t. What I wouldn’t give to truly feel that voltage again, and know the trajectory of where I was headed, instead of treading, spent, looking back at where I’ve come. I stay awhile on the edge of the surge, enjoying the power of the season.
With current temperatures in the seventies around our cabin, and in the eighties just to the north of us - Doc and I decided it was a good time to do a little traveling before borders open, and travel to our state resumes. So off we went . . .
After recent torrential rains, the Slana Slough looked so pretty in its summer greens, that I couldn't resist taking another shot of the area. The Mentasta Mountains are in the background.
We've been experiencing a lot of cloudy weather recently and very little sun so, I was grateful for a short sunny period while I took this reflection in a channel of water flowing between buildings in Kingston.
Part of the Wind River Canyon (Wyoming), as its rapids work toward the awaking light! Great Trout water with limited access.
Last week I visited the wildlife park and although I missed the "Bird of Prey Show" I lucked out because the keeper talked to someone he know and I got the chance to ask for some portrait pictures.
Sometimes I just spend to much time in the weeds. There is so much coming at me that I can't focus on one individual task and that everthing start to just appear at once. And just when I think I start to get it organaized, the rain comes...
Currently located just outside the boundaries of Snæfellsjökull National Park, the town of Hellnar is the largest of the fishing villages on the south side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. It has been that way for centuries. A church was first built at this site in the village in 1833. The church in the photo was constructed in 1945.
We are all racist when we turn our back on God.
We say.
I know better than you!
I am better than you!
You don't exist!
I hate you!
I won't listen to you!
IS'NT THAT WHAT WE SAY TO PEOPLE.
I hate you because your black, or white, or green or purple.
I am better than you!
You don't exist!
I know better than you!
the truth is that God had one plan.
God made man and woman.
We don't know if Adam was green purple yellow or orange.
We don't know if Eve had red, black, brown or silver hair.
All we know is that God made man from all of earth's elements and Eve from Adam's rib.
Last time I looked the earth was every color that we could imagine.
Last time I looked at Eve she was part of the earth.
Stop turning away from God. Both turn towards the Creator and there will be no more of these issues. Until then enjoy racism.

Hey guys! At the current moment I'm making GotG customs and the first one I made is Gamora, daughter of the Mad Titan, Thanos. I painted the hair I used for Elektra and made her a coat-jacket. I used E-tape for the bracelets. I'm making Mantis right now. Maybe I'll finish her tomorrow. What do you guys think? Comment below! :)
"If we aren’t able to look beyond our current situations, we will miss incredible opportunities. Dreams can certainly become realities. There are possibilities everywhere. You just need to find them and believe in them.
You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live, you learn. You’re human, not perfect. You’ve been hurt, but you’re alive. Think of what a precious privilege it is to breathe, to think, to enjoy life, and to chase the things that you love the most.
Sometimes there will be sadness in your journey, but you must look at all of the beautiful blessings that surround you every day. Continue putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt, for we will never know what is waiting just around the bend.
Life is a blessing. You are a gift. Have a grateful heart for all you have accomplished. It takes insane courage to move beyond anything that is holding you back. Have faith and believe in yourself, it will change EVERYTHING".-- Chara Davis

The colors of a Thomas Hill empty are obvious against the browns and greens native to the Sand Hills in September. The colorful sets have long been recognizable as THH trains and are currently some of the longest coal trains that run on BNSF. In general, it’s hard to complain about much here. It was supposed to be cloudy, but clearly it is not…yet. More importantly, I have a train to shoot, which as crazy as it sounds now, is not always the case with the current state of affairs. Some boring stuff below.
A little info on Thomas Hill—
During the Biden Admin, the EPA proposed new rules to go after “fossil fuel” plants and their GHG (Greenhouse gas) emissions. In 2024, they briefly became new rules, wherein coal plants/units planning to operate past Jan 1, 2039 were considered “long-term,” units planning to operate after Jan 1, 2032 but cease operation before Jan 1, 2039 were considered “medium term,” and all others planning to cease before Jan 1, 2032 were exempt. It called for the “long-term” units to install CCS (carbon capture and sequestration/storage) with a 90% capture rate by Jan 1, 2032 (this technology does not exist yet). “Medium term” was to co-fire 40% with natural gas by Jan 1, 2030. Thomas Hill is a part of a group of power plants in Missouri without a set retirement date (Sikeston, New Madrid, Iatan, Hawthorn) [Though Sikeston seems on a path to retire sooner rather than later], which means these new regulations would force them to take a position. They may either declare a retirement date before Jan 1, 2032 if they see no reason to pay for these upgrades, or declare a date beyond 2032 and prepare to begin the process of retrofitting.
In June of 2025, the EPA—now under a new Admin—proposed repealing all GHG emission standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants, which includes rules set under both the Obama and Biden Admins. There was a public hearing in July of 2025 on the subject and public comment was open until August 7th, 2025. They received 127,000 comments. The end is coming and it’s approaching fast. The next Admin will take office in January of 2029 and will most certainly make their own rules and changes wherever they are allowed to do so. In this context, Thomas Hill and its four Missouri counterparts not yet having retirement dates isn’t exactly promising news as any Admin change, court ruling, or rule change could force them to take a position at any time. There is no comforting way to swallow the fact 2030 is now knocking on the door and that everything eventually turns to shit. Sorry, I modified it.

This shot captures the change in weather conditions at the entrance to Pipers River. Here the currents would make swimming a very dangerous proposition. If you enlarge the channel marker you'll see its shake in the water. This is not lack of focus, but even at 1/1250 it is shaking furiously in the wind and current.
I chose sepia here (through colour toning) because I wanted to emulate the look achieved by England's great pioneer of Pictorialism, P.H. Emerson (1856-1936), and especially his East Anglia seascapes. There is a marvellous book by Nancy Newhall on Emerson that I have enjoyed for a little while, "P.H. Emerson: The Fight for Photography as a Fine Art" (Aperture, 1975). Even greats of early 20th century photography, like Alfred Stieglitz, looked up to Emerson as a master.

M503 is back up to speed after hanging back at Woodland Jct, waiting on a motive power plagued L375 here at Milford. The local is finally in the clear and the C&EI towards Evansville is finally open for southbound movement again. Afternoons tend to be busy on this leg of the C&EI and this 1st of December is no different. I195, M500, L375, M503 and I129 all ran in daylight between Woodland Jct and Danville.
