It's strange how instant gratification evolves over time: from popping bubble wrap... to pushing a button... and now, returning to "normal"...
But "normal" has changed, normal is now wearing a mask and practicing physical distancing.
Delaying gratification can slow the virus spread and help with returning faster to something more like the "old normal".
What is required from us and how we respond to that will shape the story we'll tell in the future.
The rising sun finally wins its daily battle with the ground fog. Thanks for the look. Have a good week ahead.
Always do it on my own
So I gotta get through it
And the only thing I know
Is to love what I'm doing
Never give up, never slow
Till I finally prove it
Never listen to the no's
I just wanna keep moving
This area of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota, is called Painted Canyon. The variety of topography throughout the Park is amazing. We intended to just pass through here on our way to Glacier National Park but things worked out that we had more time than expected on the afternoon we arrived at our nearby motel for the overnight stay. We enjoyed our 4 hour afternoon visit so much that we delayed our morning departure for several hours to visit more of this National Park. Bison, wild horses, prairie dogs, antelope, unusual landscape . . . it had it all.
My agenda saw me starting my Ester holidays at the Danish West Coast today. Unfortunately circumstances were against our plans, so no Easter Eggs on the beach, looks more like playing hide and seek with myself in my garden („got you punk, you desperately need a hairdresser“). Anyway, as soon as martial law is over in Europe I will turn North to get my annual wellness time in Denmark. Instead of my first coastal shot of the year please enjoy a picture taken last weekend of river Werre near Löhne, Ostwestfalen, Germany
You just have to get used to the fact that I am soooo slow and a lot of my pictures take a year or more to see the light of day.

Happy weekend everyone!

Trying to catch up my delay ... (which becomes bigger and bigger) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs SEMAINES après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
France. Alpes. Savoie. Massif des Bauges. Département de la Haute-Savoie (74). Photo prise lors d'un aller-retour à la Petite Sambuy, au départ de la Station de Seythenex-La Sambuy.
La photo été prise dans la Combe de la Sambuy, en montant au Col de la Sambuy.
Au centre, on peut voir l'Épaule de la Sambuy (2120m) sous son meilleur profil, qui cache presque complètement le sommet de La Sambuy (2198m) mais celui-ci dépasse quand même très légèrement sur sa gauche (cf. mon indication sur la photo).
À droite, on peut voir le Col de la Sambuy (2080m). Une fois que j'avais rejoint le col, il ne me restait plus beaucoup d'efforts à faire pour rejoindre le sommet de la Petite Sambuy (2107m), en partant à l'opposé de la Sambuy et de son épaule.
Cette rando fut la 1ère rando de notre séjour alpin de l'été 2017. J'y suis allé seul car le dénivelé cumulé était trop important pour nos filles (960m). En fait, même moi, je n'avais jamais fait de rando avec un dénivelé aussi important avant ce jour. Bien sûr, j'aurais pu choisir une rando plus accessible à toute la famille mais les conditions météo étaient très incertaines et on essaie toujours de choisir des jours bien ensoleillés et sans risque de pluie et d'orage pour emmener nos filles. D'ailleurs, j'ai très peu vu le soleil jusqu'en milieu de l'après-midi. C'est là que j'ai pu prendre cette photo. Je suis vraiment très content que les nuages aient laissé passer le soleil à ce moment précis ! 🙏😊

Here is a 1st photo of our 2022 summer vacation of 20 days in the Alps. I had never hiked as much as this summer (18 days out of 20 days of presence) because exceptionnally in 2022, there were very few storms, very little rain and a lot of sun (but there were often clouds without rain too).
Voici une 1ère photo de nos vacances d'été 2022 de 20 jours dans les Alpes. Je n'avais encore jamais randonné autant que cet été (18 jours sur 20 jours de présence) car exceptionnellement en 2022, il y a eu très peu d'orages, très peu de pluie et beaucoup de soleil (mais il y avait souvent des nuages sans pluie aussi).
France. Alpes. Département de l'Isère (38). Massif des Écrins. Vallée du Vénéon. Photo prise lors d'une randonnée en aller-retour effectuée en famille dans le Vallon des Étages, au départ du Hameau des Étages. C'était mon 5ème jour de rando sur les 18 jours où j'ai pu randonner lors de notre séjour alpin de 3 semaines pendant l'été 2022 et notre 4ème jour de rando à 4 en famille (nos 2 filles nous ont beaucoup accompagné au début du séjour mais moins après).
La photo a été prise au début du Vallon des Étages, dans lequel beaucoup de choses portent son nom et on les voit d'ailleurs toutes sur cette photo :
- Le Ruisseau du Vallon des Étages,
- Le Col du Vallon des Étages (au fond au centre),
- La Pointe du Vallon des Étages (à gauche du col),
- Le Glacier du Vallon des Étages (au fond).
Rien que ça ! 😂
J'avais sélectionné cette randonnée car je trouvais que la Pointe du Vallon des Étages qui trône au fond du vallon était particulièrement photogénique et je n'ai pas été déçu. 😊
Pour l'anecdote, nous sommes montés par la rive gauche du ruisseau et j'avais prévu qu'on traverse le ruisseau pour revenir par la rive opposée. Mais nous n'avons pas trouvé de passerelle ni de gué aisément franchissable à l'endroit prévu. Nous avons longuement cherché un passage sur plusieurs centaines de mètres en amont ou aval, mais sans succès. Malgré le manque de pluie et la sécheresse, le ruisseau était impétueux et trop large, avec un débit assez impressionnant et un fort courant. C'était sans doute dû à la fonte du Glacier du Vallon des Étages qui se trouve en face nord et qui s'élève au-delà de 3000m d'altitude. Notre plus jeune fille a réussi à traverser à un endroit (bravo à elle ! 👏) mais nous n'avons pas osé l'imiter alors nous lui avons fait faire la traversée en sens inverse pour revenir du même côté que nous. 😂 La pauvre a été piquée un peu plus tard par une guêpe après avoir heurté sans s'en rendre compte avec son pied ou son bâton un petit nid de guêpes (une 10aine d'alvéoles et quelques adultes). Elle s'est rendue compte à quel point une piqure de guêpe était douloureuse ... 😥 Heureusement, elle n'est pas allergique. OUF ... 🙏 Pour que personne d'autre ne vive la même mésaventure, j'ai détaché le nid du rocher sur lequel il était accroché, en plein milieu du sentier et je l'ai éjecté quelques mètres plus loin avec un long bâton. Mais j'avais très peur et il m'a fallu de nombreuses tentatives infructueuses avant de mettre enfin en plein dans le mille. Heureusement, nous n'avons pas subi d'autres représailles pendant cette délicate opération. Peu après, un groupe de 5 à 10 personnes a emprunté le sentier. Je leur ai peut-être évité le même désagrément que celui subi par notre fille ?...
NS 316 waits patiently behind a broken in half 310 in Euclid, Ohio at UD. This edition of 316 had a teardrop window SD75i CN doing the honors. After hearing that they were stopped just 200 feet from the crossing of London Road, I knew that I had to get in the car and shoot, regardless of the 20 degree freezing rain that was falling. Not only were they stuck behind 310 which had 3 CN units, they had to wait on 23K which also had a pair of CN’s. Seven CN units on NS?
Having delayed my final trip to the shops for a few essentials due to exceptionally photogenic atmospheric conditions, I knew that I had to try and make some images at Attenborough worth my while. I have visited this particular spot so many times, but rarely has there been the occasion when there has been the right balance between there being just enough mist to diffuse the sun and too much mist that obscures the sun altogether. The time of year is also cucial to this shot, as the sun rises in exactly the right place in December.

Or failure to launch, possibly. We notice more Canada Geese than usual hanging around here even as January approaches. Of course I don't really know birds (or what they're thinking).

Sometimes you just have to sit on a rock and wait for the magic to happen.
I love the patterns that fallen leaves make. And the jumble of different kinds...
This was taken in my garden during one of the earlier frosts of what has been an unusually frosty winter for recent times.
This one was another adventure using Nik Color Efex for the stylising. I really like these filters for producing some really nice photo-realistic effects. Definitely the ones I would want on my desert island. (If you would like the preset I created for this, just ask.)
This one is not for a group or a project. I just liked it :)
Thanks for all your comments and faves. I'll try and respond as and when I am able! Have a lovely week...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image.
After trying unsuccessfully to get a good capture of the Moon last night the best I could muster was this representation of the A1 at the Grantham Southern Bypass. The northbound carriageway was shut thankfully as it meant I didnt get any headlight glare.
An interesting sidenote is that the Bypass has just been delayed by a further 18 months due to shifting ground the the east side of the East Coast Main Line
Some timely for me delays kept CP 650 from departing overnight and instead gave it a sunny morning departure. Here we see it at CP 501 on the NS Chicago Line with Navy Veterans SD70ACu #7022 leading.
