Spring is a little bit late this year. Same time last year I sat in beautiful sunshine outside in a t-shirt. Not a good idea to do the same now...Zaandse Schans, The Netherlands
Another image of the Great Sand Dune National Park, taken soon after I crossed the Surge Flow.
Due to the detour (road closure) that delayed us by 3 hours, the sun was about to go below the dunes when we got there.
No epic golden colors here, just light and plenty of shadows; nevertheless, I'm happy with the few images that I got, and they are far better than the ones I took from the first visit in Sep 2019 - the early afternoon sun was flat and boring! 😉
The northeast region is having a heatwave, it's hot and humid ; oh "joy" of a hotter planet!
Have a fun-filled day, my dear Flickr friends!
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

The Plaza de Espana was originally designed and built as the ultimate symbol and the most ambitious project of the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition World’s Fair. The initial idea of holding a World Fair in Seville was promoted in 1909 with the aim of opening the city and, especially, to modernize it. It would be the perfect occasion to achieve civil works, thus improve employment, promote the tourism, enhance the image of Seville and strengthen relationships with American countries.
The Fair was initially going to be inaugurated on April 1st, 1911. It was then delayed to 1914 but World War I (1914-1918) and political issues between Morocco and Spain delayed it further on. It was finally held from May 9th, 1929 to June 21st, 1930.
The works of the Plaza de Espana began in 1914 and where supervised by its creator, the Sevillian architect Aníbal González. He was also the architect chief of the event and designed other buildings such as the Mudejar Pavilion (better known today as the Museo de Artes y Costumbres), the Fine Arts Pavilion (transformed later in the Archaeological Museum) and the Royal Pavilion. All of them can be found in the María Luisa Park, at the America Square (Plaza de América).
It was the most expensive and hard construction of the fair, employing at some point more than 1,000 workers. Obviously, the project went through aesthetical critics and financial difficulties, especially because Seville was in very bad economic shape.
In 1926 Aníbal González resigned from his position and the Plaza de Espana was finished in 1928 by Vicente Taverner, who added the central fountain. It was also the place where Alfonso XIII inaugurated the Fair.

On dewy mornings in late August and September, dragonflies are prisoners of the marsh and must wait for the sun to dry their wings before they can take off.
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which is still very big) ... 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/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
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 ?...
Metropol Parasol is a wooden structure located at La Encarnación square, in the old quarter of Seville, Spain. It was designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer and completed in April 2011. It has dimensions of 150 by 70 metres (490 by 230 ft) and an approximate height of 26 metres (85 ft) and claims to be the largest wooden structure in the world. Its appearance, location, delays and cost overruns in construction resulted in much public controversy. The building is popularly known as Las Setas de la Encarnación (Incarnation's mushrooms).
The structure consists of six parasols in the form of giant mushrooms ("Las setas" in Spanish), whose design is inspired by the vaults of the Cathedral of Seville and the ficus trees in the nearby Plaza de Cristo de Burgos. Metropol Parasol is organized in four levels. The underground level (Level 0) houses the Antiquarium, where Roman and Moorish remains discovered on site are displayed in a museum. Level 1 (street level) is the Central Market. The roof of Level 1 is the surface of the open-air public plaza, shaded by the wooden parasols above and designed for public events. Levels 2 and 3 are the two stages of the panoramic terraces (including a restaurant), offering one of the best views of the city centre. ~ Wikipedia

Colour re-edit of a shot from July 2018. Enjoy!
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?
I had got up early to shoot sunrise and got nothing because of the haze/smog. I came out half an hour later and got this.
We had spent the night at the fort which was amazing but hot water didn't seem to be a priority hence quite a stinky trip to Jaipur after breakfast.

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.
[NL] Halverwege november vielen de eerste sneeuwvlokken in Estland. En sindsdien is het niet meer boven het vriespunt geweest. Nu we een krappe maand verder zijn kan je je dus voorstellen dat er een aardige hoeveelheid sneeuw ligt, en dat de bomen mooi wit zijn. Op een grijze dag, zoals er zoveel van zijn in Estland, brengen de knaloranje Elron FLIRT-treinstellen wat kleur aan de dag. Ik besloot dan ook de laatste trein die bij daglicht rijdt vast te leggen. Zonsondergang is rond 15:15, en aangezien het licht hier al ruim voor zonsondergang snel achteruit gaat, was het een kleine teleurstelling om te zien dat de trein die ik opwachtte ongepland stil stond in Kärkna. Uiteindelijk passeren met een kwartier vertraging, wat bij de Estische spoorwegen een uitzonderlijk hoge vertraging is, treinstellen 2234 en 2314 als Reis 14 naar Tartu en onder een ander treinnummer door naar Valga.
[EN] Since mid-November it started snowing in Estonia. And since then, temperatures didn't rise above the freezing point anymore. That is of course the ultimate recipe for lot's of snow! It is just another average cloudy day in Estonia, when the Elron DEMU's bring some colour to the scene. Units 2234 and 2314 are entering the city of Tartu with a rather exceptionally high delay of 15 minutes, as service 14 to Tartu. After change of train numbers, both consists will continue to Valga.
[DE] Seit halb November schneit es in Estland, und ist die Temperatur unter 0 geblieben. Also, perfekt für ein Winter Wunderland! Die orangen Elron FLIRT Triebzüge fallen auf jeden Fall im Winterlandschaft aus. Die Triebzüge 2234 und 2314 konnten kurz vor Tartu als Reis 14 abgelichtet werden. Nach einem Zugnummerwechsel verkehren die beiden Einheiten weiter nach Valga.

Since I first visited the charming town of Morro Bay in 2013, I have returned so many times that my wife thinks I am low-key obsessed with it. She’s not wrong. Honestly, it was a subject that completely stumped me on my first visit. I ended up posting no images from our first trip, and even on our second time there, I used the rock as a background rather than an outright subject as I still hadn’t figured out a way to make it my main subject. On my third visit, I managed a few images that satisfied me. Still, that visit also fuelled a desire to find better pictures of this magnificent geographic feature of the California coast.
On our most recent trip, I expected moody overcast skies and hoped to use it to my advantage. I planned to use the dunes north of the rock as my foreground interest and to apply some telephoto compression to the scene. Due to the dunes being a protected nesting site for endangered birds, I had to hike quite far to find an ideal location. But in hindsight, I think it worked to my advantage as the delay allowed the sun to break through the clouds and provided dramatic light to the scene. I used a short-tele focal length here and decided to crop the image in a panoramic format to cut some of the uninteresting bits from the scene. Definitely my favorite from the trip.
