Current Day RAF (circa. 2009)

A long exposure at Haycock Point near Pambula on the Sapphire Coast NSW. Interesting to see the currents after using a long exposure. I was down on the rock platform earlier but the tide was coming in and later much of the rock platform would be under water. The height above is not as evident in this photo. After the steps there is a sloping rock formation to walk down, which is okay unless you stumble. Much easier climbing back up! The sea is the Tasman. Lee Big Stopper and Little Stopper used.
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.
Through air, seas, oceans and rivers
they pass, strong and gripping....
Silent and noisy they push and pull,
yet, at times........
With that warming comfort of a memory
they caress with a kiss.
My favourite tree on the Midland Highway, which connects between Hobart and Launceston in Tasmania, Australia.
I've photographed this tree on several occasions. Each time I do I notice subtle differences and deterioration in the health of the tree. A few less limbs, broken branches, etc. This grand old lifeform is reaching the end of its lifespan.
This image was taken nearly a year ago - I really have to take another shot to capture its current stand.

IORY 1 year ago looked completely different than it does now, the yellow SD60s took over quite quickly and it's definitely reduced my reasons to photograph the railroad, but sometimes you just end up doing it anyways out of boredom.

The current day Wheeling is soaring over the former NYC on the original Wheeling with 111 cars on the drawbar behind 4 SD40-2's. Both lines are now owned by NS and Oak Harbor has long been a 'classic' railroad location but this perspective is only available from the air. Oak Harbor, OH 3/7/2021
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.
Part of the Wind River Canyon (Wyoming), as its rapids work toward the awaking light! Great Trout water with limited access.
Latest "Rogue One" master piece which is situated in the beer garden of the Viceroy Bar at Paisley Road West Glasgow. Can't help but love his work. Was unable to get into the beer garden due to the current restrictions which are still in place for all public houses in Scotland.
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.
Yes, we are currently mere shadows of ourselves as we have become trapped in DIARRHEA HELL!
For two months Tidda has been suffering from increasingly frequent bouts of diarrhea. For the most part, she seems to be feeling okay and enjoys her walks, is hungry and plays. I on the other hand have been reduced to stumbling in a trance from one colon emergency to the next, randomly having to drop everything and take her outside or, worse, having to get up at 2 a.m. to take her out. And then again at 5.
Stool samples are negative for Giardia, negative for worms. She's been on probiotics and prebiotics for 10 days and has had several 24-hour fasts, now mostly getting rice and home-cooked chicken broth. She's losing weight and does seem to be a little less energetic.
The 12 day wait for the vet appointment has been the longest 12 days ever. It's no longer episodic but just continuous diarrhea. I wanted to bring her in as an emergency on Saturday but then she seemed slightly better and the vet "no longer had any same day visits available" that day. To be honest, I might be suffering more than she is. They said I'm doing everything right and she should get better.
Ever since the pandemic, the vet clinic has been chronically understaffed and overburdened and I've heard it's due in large part to the extreme local housing shortage as they can't hire people if there is no affordable place for them to live. Another issue is that I have constant problems buying her regular food as intermittently it's just not available due to the supply chain problems that are affecting pet foods. It's a real stressor for me. I'm going to see what the vet thinks about the possibility of making my own food for her.
Yet, Tidda is her sweet and good self. I'm trying to emulate her in that regard. I tell myself we will get through this and she will get better. Life just never seems to get any easier, though.
Wish us luck for the vet visit on Wednesday!
The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral, has witnessed many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has become one of the city's most recognizable symbols with its multi-colored tile roof. It has 256 stairs from the top to the bottom

The world at the current moment just isn't simple. Everything is always so complicated. You can never go a day without seeing
the issues of the world. Simplicity to me is the number one thing that can make or break a relationship. If everything is so simple then it just works. Why complicate things when they never have to be?
But when I am with you a lot of those complications go away or just disappear for a few hours. I know when I am here with you I can just relax and not be stressed out. Naturally a competitive person I'm always competing with everything and everyone in some way. With you I don't have to. You are just simply simple.
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.
Currently assigned to Genessee & Wyoming's Marquette Rail, the Chicago & Illinois Midland SD20 81 idles away by the coaling tower in Baldwin, Michigan shortly before a crew would show up to wye the power and build the "Baldwin Eagle" for the trip to Ludington.
Arnside, Cumbria, sits at the northeastern corner of Morecambe Bay. Here, the sands are exposed temporarily near low tide, with the shallow channel of the River Kent estuary the only water.
A man and his son are on a paddle board, letting the current do the work. Liminal - calm and peaceful before the tide turns.
World Photography Day 2024 entrant,
Das 3 Monate alte (derzeit noch namenlose) Eisbärenmädchen ist seit Kurzem im Freigehege im Tiergarten Schönbrunn zu beobachten. Zumindest wenn man einen freien Platz findet !! 😊 Dieses störende Gras hätte ich gerne weggeschnitten, aber ich traute mich nicht... 😜
The 3-month-old (currently still nameless) polar bear girl can now be observed in the outdoor enclosure in Schönbrunn Zoo. At least if you find a free place !! 😊 I would have loved to cut away this annoying grass, but I didn't dare ... 😜
After waiting for cross traffic on NS, southbound Q365's two veteran leasers strain to get the monster train going again. The B&O cantilever here is not long for this world as a foundation has been poured for the replacement cantilever that will be erected directly behind the current structure. Get it while you still can.
