Being there without my son Brian is like being there with only half my heart, he died from a heroin overdose a year ago July just after his 34th birthday. The lonely bench and walkway are how I feel. Love always and forever is how it's always been between us...and still is.

These wintry scenes are now a thing of the past since our temperatures have now warmed up to +12C and the recent rains have all but washed away all the snow in low lying coastal areas of North Vancouver. The wonders of Nature never cease to amaze me.

It is extremely sad to witness puffins resorting to using fishing line to construct their nests. This highlights the impact of human activity on the natural world and the dangerous consequences of littering. The use of fishing line puts the birds' lives at risk and has serious consequences for the puffin and its offspring, including entanglement, injury, and death. It is crucial that we all take responsibility for preserving the environment and its inhabitants by disposing of waste properly and reducing our reliance on harmful materials.

This image is dedicated to the people who have lost there lives yesterday in The Netherlands.

An idiot has killed 8 people (including himself afterwards) in a shopping mall with a machine gun!

4 people are still in critical conditions and another 16 are also still in the hospital

How cruele people can be.

How crazy people can be.

How sick people can be!

 

Please no more killings!

The steam was so intense, I was here for probably twenty minutes before I even realized there was a man in the water.

 

Explored.

As a Dane, Mikkel Honoré was racing at home today, in this exceptional prologue of the Tour de France in Copenhagen. Having fallen and derailed earlier, the end of the race must have been quite painful.

Taken @ Frontenac Park. This was taken one week after the last photo of Big Salmon lake. The colors are more muted and the light was fading. But the sky was awesome!

I did an extended photoshooting with my little model...

Two dedicated fishermen at a public dock / boat launch near Algonquin Park. Despite the rain, these two men were happy to be fishing. At the time of this photo, no fish had been caught...

Blood starts to bubble, brain starts to fry

And I'm staring at myself with dilated eyes

 

Something inside me, spark that just won't die

No matter how hard I pray away, no matter how I try

  

Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But Heaven don't need more angels and you just need more time

She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But I just want you here tonight, tonight

  

World starts to crumble, blade starts to cry

Lilith's wandering in her mind like a ghost in denial

 

Something inside me, spark that just won't die

No matter how hard I pray away, no matter how I try

 

Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But Heaven don't need more angels and you just need some time

She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But I just want you here tonight, tonight

But I just want you here tonight, tonight

 

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Oh, tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Oh, tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Tonight

  

Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But Heaven don't need more angels and

She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side

But I just want you here tonight, tonight

Tonight

To my friend Tio

 

In the beginning I thought

he leaves me out in the rain

in the pouring rain

and you thought the same about me

I know

but there where some hints

some indications

eventually the rain stopped

just for a moment ?

a change to the better?

I was in the mist

I tried to peer through the fog

and I poked about in a fog

leaving somebody out in the cold

can produce fog

to cut a long story short

I found a valuable friend

or did he find me?

I think we both did the job

and this was good!

Moon Drop® grapes are a medium to large varietal that grows in loose bunches averaging 29 centimeters in length and 16 centimeters in width. Each grape has a distinct, elongated, uniform, and cylindrical shape, about 3 to 4 centimeters in length and 1 to 2 centimeters in diameter, and showcases a characteristic dimple on one end. The grape’s skin is smooth, semi-thick, glossy, and taut. The skin is also dark purple, often appearing black, and is covered in a medium to heavy blue-grey bloom. This bloom is natural and edible but can be easily wiped from the surface if preferred. Underneath the skin, the translucent purple-green flesh is crisp, seedless, and aqueous with a snap-like quality. [...]. Moon Drop® grapes are sweeter than standard black grape varieties and contain tannins to create a pleasant and balanced sweet-tart flavor.

 

PS

Moon Drop® grapes are available for a few weeks in the late summer through early fall.

St. Vitus Cathedral (Katedrála Svatého Víta), Prague, Czech Republic is a Gothic masterpiece, and for some, the best cathedral in Europe..

 

The foundation stone was laid by King John of Bohemia in 1344 but it took almost a further six centuries to complete, with the final phase of construction taking place during the period 1873-1929.

 

The cathedral was so busy with tourists as you would expect, I was very lucky getting these shots as a little later I was told by security that I couldn't use a tripod!!! Phew!!!

 

A total of 8 Pixel Shift portrait images (the original collage is over 670mb in size) taken with the Pentax K3 II paired with the Samyang 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS (Ultra Wide Angle) lens mounted on the Manfrotto Tripod with Manfrotto Pan head 391RC2 and triggered using a Pentax remote,

 

Stitched together in the Photomerge feature in Photoshop on iMac then a pretty much standard run through in DxO Optics Pro on Mac......so really the image is very similar to the original stills.

This is the interior of the Catholic Church in Our Lady of the Rocks island, which s adorned with Byzantine-style paintings, including frescoes depicting religious scenes and local folklore, and features a main altar made of Carrara and Corinthian marble by Antonio Capellano.

It houses a revered icon of Mary and Christ painted by Lovro Dobričević and contains votive objects, including maritime artifacts and an 1828 embroidery made from silk, gold, silver thread, and human hair, which reportedly took 25 years to complete.

It is unique in every respect and it only conveys the dedication of people, who not only kept faith in God, but also dedicated every piece of art they could learn in their lives.

SEE YOU SOON ON YOUR STREAMS:)))

    

Trekking or Mountaineering or Exploration would never happen without these hardworking porter, guides and support staff. What is an one time achievement for most of us, who do it to satisfy something in us, is a daily routine for them. So, what looks like a heroic feat carrying all this load in the falling snow, could just be another day at work for him. But does he relish or do it out of desperation, is something only that he knows.

 

For me, the onlooker, it was a winter wonderland and a welcome adventure
