I have been in hospital since 10th April 2022 after a fall. It looks like I will be in hospital for at least 2 - 4 more days.
To my sponsors, I will try to make up for it after I get out.
A quad-pack of EMD's rest in the late afternoon at IORY's Ford Park Yard in northeast Lima. Like much shortline power it's an eclectic mix here of paint schemes of former leasers, a current leaser, and a unit repainted into G&W orange.

This 3 minute long exposure photograph was taken in the Lighthouse Park from Shore Pine Point which is west of the Lighthouse, seen in my previous posting. The park is in West Vancouver.
In the distance you can see the endowment lands where UBC (University of British Columbia) is located.
With a long exposure you never know what you are going to get, especially the dramatic cloud formations and water movement.
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. This one was taken next to Hampton Court Bridge.
Yesterday marked 12 months to the day since the first UK lockdown started in response to the Covid 19 pandemic.
The death toll currently stands at 126K
For me, one of the highlights of our walk last Sunday was finding these 13th century church ruins. I Loved the peaceful energy of the place.
The wooden sign reads:
'The place where thou standest
is holy ground.
It is also sacred to the dead
whose bodies rest here.
Try to speak and act
reverently in it.'

... growing different tomatoes on our roof garden.... all did well... except this one.... the fruits just did not want to grow like the others... :-(
... so I made a real effort.... and still.... lots of little fruits.... sweet ...
just the size :-(
before I wanted to yank them out... it would have been wiser to read the label...
"Currant tomatoes are unusual tomato varieties available from seed collection sites and vendors that specialize in rare or heirloom fruits and vegetables. What are currant tomatoes, you may ask? They are similar to a cherry tomato, but smaller. The plants are the likely cross of wild cherry tomato plants and develop hundreds of small, finger nail size fruits...."
right now, the bush has about 500 or more fruits... not bad... but it takes some time to pick and eat them :-))

Le Stupa de Bodnath, Katmandou, Népal
Bodnath fut pendant longtemps le point d'arrivée des caravanes qui traversaient l'Himalaya. On venait y remercier Bouddha lorsque le voyage s'était bien déroulé. Les yeux de Bouddha peints aux quatre points cardinaux posent un regard observateur sur les Hommes et leurs actions. Cet important centre de pèlerinage bouddhiste date du XIVème siècle Une foule de pèlerins népalais mais aussi tibétains s’y retrouve pour accomplir la kora (circumambulation rituelle) et faire tourner les moulins à prières renfermant les paroles sacrées « Om Mane Padme Um ».

The Boudhanath Stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal
The great stupa of Boudhanath in Kathmandu is one of the largest in Nepal and a major pilgrimage site as well as tourist attraction. It is thought to have been built in the late 6th century CE by a king of the Nepalese Licchavi Kingdom .The first stupa was wrecked by Mughal invaders in the 14th century, so the current stupa is a more recent construction.
I was sent out yesterday to shoot some interiors of a newly remodeled hotel out in Long Beach...Hotel Current. I learned so much in one day...like how fast a day goes by.
These are 3 of the shots I pulled out late last night to show you (this is not a print piece or final edits). I was glad I had my flash in my bag. Initially I thought I would just use natural light, but strobism got the better of me. All 3 were lit with one flash in 43" shoot thru umbrella balanced with the natural and ambient light.
If you haven't noticed the Canon 5d has made a debut on my stream. About an hour into the shoot the D3 battery died (my bad). So we called down to a shop to see how much a battery charger was...$180!!! Well luckily Shannen was with me with her 5D. So a lens rental later and we were back in business!

Goin' down, goin' down
Down where my breath is the only sound (only sound)
Goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down
Don't look for me now, I'm not around
All day long, I'm underground
I've been thinkin' about the future
I've been waitin' for the day
Let the current carry me far away
Let the current carry me away
Current flows, but I don't know where it goes
I don't care, I just get it there (get it there)
Took this job 'cause I needed one
That was seven years since I've seen the sun
All day long, I'm underground
I've been thinkin' about the future
I've been waitin' for the day
Let the current carry me far away
Let the current carry me away
And I've been thinkin' about the future
I hope some day I'll get away
But the current keeps bringin' me back around
Seems the only place for me is underground
So tomorrow, when the sun comes up, I'll be goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down
The Crump Theatre in Columbus, Indiana is a stunning testament to the town's rich architectural history. The vibrant marquee still glows with life, reflecting the theatre's enduring presence in the cultural fabric of Columbus. The Crump Theatre stands as a nostalgic beacon harking back to the golden age of theatre. The theater is currently undergoing a volunteer led restoration effort.

« L'Alhambra ! l'Alhambra ! Palais que les génies
Ont doré comme un rêve et rempli d'harmonies.
Forteresse aux créneaux festonnés et croulants
Où l'on entend la nuit de magiques syllabes,
Quand la lune, à travers les mille arceaux arabes,
Sème les murs de trèfles blancs. »
Victor Hugo - Extrait de « Les Orientales »
L'Alhambra (en arabe : الْحَمْرَاء, Al-Ḥamrā' , « la rouge », en raison de la couleur que prennent les murailles au coucher du soleil) de Grenade est un ensemble palatial, et un des monuments majeurs de l'architecture islamique et l'acropole médiévale la plus majestueuse du monde méditerranéen.
C'est avec la Grande mosquée de Cordoue le plus prestigieux témoin de la présence musulmane en Espagne du viiie au xve siècle. Leurs caractères sont d'ailleurs opposés : à la sobriété grandiose du monument religieux représentatif de la première architecture islamique, s'oppose l'exubérance de la dernière manière hispano-mauresque : celle-ci s'exprime en effet dans les palais des derniers souverains nasrides, alors en pleine décadence, et qui disparaîtront bientôt lors des derniers assauts de la Reconquista.
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in 889 and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid 11th century by the Berber king Badis ben Habus of the Kingdom of Granada who built its current palace and walls, and later converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.
The Alhambra's Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim emirs in Spain and its court of the Nasrid dynasty. After the Reconquista by the Reyes Católicos ("Catholic Monarchs") in 1492, some portions were used by Christian rulers. The Palace of Charles V, built by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in 1527, was inserted in the Alhambra within the Nasrid fortifications. After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the Alhambra was rediscovered in the 19th century by European scholars and travelers, with restorations commencing. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well known Arab-Islamic architecture, together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the inspiration for many songs and stories.
La Alhambra es una ciudad palatina andalusí situada en Granada, España. Es un rico complejo palaciego y fortaleza (alcázar o al-qasr القصر) que alojaba al monarca y a la corte del Reino nazarí de Granada. Su verdadero atractivo, como en otras obras musulmanas de la época, no sólo radica en los interiores, cuya decoración está entre las cumbres del arte andalusí, sino también en su localización y adaptación, generando un paisaje nuevo pero totalmente integrado con la naturaleza preexistente. En 2011 se convirtió en el monumento más visitado de España, recibiendo la cifra histórica de 2.310.764 visitantes.
I'm supposed to be conserving my phone battery, but I can't sleep, had to visit everyone's great photos.
Earlier in the evening my husband brought me one of my favorite herbal teas and I thought it was funny that it should be in this cup (no caffeine in this herbal tea).
Apparently, even though sleep deprivation has been proven to contribute to illness, heart disease, etc. throughout the world, hospitals haven't gotten the memo!
So, after being awoken to yet again more poking and prodding, I grabbed this shot for Happy Monochrome Monday!
I viewed as many images as possible, made limited comments, now going back to conserving battery energy so I can call my son when I'm finally discharged later today!
Have a great day, stay warm, stay safe ❤️
