When branches of upper management, middle management, and everyone above you gives you crap, but you still hold your head high!

Led by the tug Forth, the vehicle carrier Dignity Ace arrives on the Tyne from Zeebrugge. Another tug Svitzer Sun waits on the starboard side ready to "nudge" if required, whilst a third, Svitzer Tyne (hidden from view), guides the stern around the sharp bend in the river.
Every person that works to provide for themselves, their families or others needs to be treated with dignity in the workplace. Why should anyone have to explain this? Here in Yosemite National Park; they must have expected me to leave my dignity at the gate. Here you are harassed at work by your coworkers, which some can be your neighbors, then your harassed in your living quarters by anyone that may be recruited. Not one person here, is held accountable and will continue this cycle of hate.
I'm trying to make this a better park for all that visit, work and live here. What are my managers doing?
Workplace mobbing is real. We have enough hate in this world, we don’t need it in the workplace too. When did we come to the point that we allow this?
What is happening in Yosemite is WRONG!
Yosemite’s current Superintendent is: Michael T Reynolds
Nominated Director National Parks Services is: David Vela

Dignity (a.k.a. Dignity of Earth & Sky) is a sculpture on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River near Chamberlain, South Dakota. The 50-foot (15.24 meter) high stainless steel statue by South Dakota artist laureate Dale Claude Lamphere depicts an Indigenous woman in Plains-style dress receiving a star quilt. According to Lamphere, the sculpture honors the culture of the Lakota and Dakota peoples who are indigenous to South Dakota. Assisting Lamphere were sculptors Tom Trople, Jim Maher, Andy Roltgen, and Grant Standard. Automotive paint expert Brook Loobey assisted with the colors for the quilt, and Albertson Engineering of Rapid City, SD ensured the sculpture would endure the strong winds common in the area.

Representing the rich Native American culture of South Dakota, the 50-foot Native American woman gracefully wears a dress patterned after a two-hide dress of the 1850s. She holds outstretched a quilt featuring 128 stainless steel blue diamond shapes designed to flutter in the wind. During the day, her star quilt – a representation of respect, honor and admiration in Native American culture – glitters in the sun with color-changing pieces that move with the wind. At night, LED lights cause the diamond shapes to glow in the night sky, casting a peaceful presence easily visible from the Interstate.

Hey everyone after quite a long time I'm back with a new creation which represent an elfic sacred place with some pure colour like white or the blue that I've used here it looks very pure in my opinion and fit perfectly with the story . For this moc I also wanted to include some special npu like the firefighter helmet this was my main goal to do something original with a new color combo and npu that were never used before. Also you guys may notice it's a little moc I've actually build it in one day and I have a bigger project in coming ;)
Story:
At the age of 21 so equal at 25 for the humans (elves age slower than humans) the male elves have to do a special ritual , a sort of pilgrimage to a sacred place named the "elves dignity", it is located at a very distant place from the place they were livin' so the time to get there was approximatively 70 days during this period the young males have to affront a lot of danger of the nature like dangerous animals , the men and even witchies , it wasn't uncommon that few of the elves were not coming back to their cities ,it was a very dangerous periple also it get this name because at a very ancient time gods and elves had a war together but in view of the power of the gods the lord of the elves took fright and fled without even fighting the elf warriors then disorderly took fright just like their lord for the most part and fled without asking for their rest, the only ones who remained bravely were all massacred without exception. Since that day every young elf at the beginning of spring must make this pilgrimage to expiate the faults of their descendants lacking in dignity. That's why this place is called "elfic dignity".
In 1989, during one of my trips to North India and more specifically to Jaipiur, I entered with Indian friends in an "haveli". In the interior courtyard of this wonderful palace, a lady with an incredible dignity, a legacy of a past nobleman, was preparing the daily lunch, cooking on an improvised cooker and asking us with respect if we wanted to share his humble meal ...

One of those pictures that reminds me of a song from the past...funny how just hearing a song can bring back a rush of memories or feelings.
Have seen a few images of this wreck the last couple of years and have always wanted to find it and take my own shot of it.
Big shock to the system getting up before 4am for me but well worth it.
A big thanks to Nick for a great morning and showing me how to get there today

And I'll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
They'll be doing their rounds
They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity

Some odd lines from Pablo Neruda's poem which really refers to a different kind of chair, but a few can apply to this one, which I photographed in a restaurant in Oslo in April 2017 and have kept safely in my phone gallery ever since.
... a throne
of unkempt velvet,
the plush of an overstuffed chair...
a chair
that embraces everything,
the sound
ground and
supreme dignity
of repose...
Bring me a chair
in the midst of thunder
a chair for me
and for everyone
not only
to relieve
an exhausted body
but
for every purpose
and for every person
for squandered strength
and for meditation.
War is as vast as the shadowy jungle
A single chair
is
the first sign
of
peace.
I love road trips through India. I don't find them the least bit boring. Rural India is quite picturesque. The fields of grain and other crops exist as sharp contrasts to the hustle and bustle of the towns and cities. I am constantly in awe of the beautifully dressed women who tend the fields.
My male guides have never mentioned many details about the women. Now I know some of the reasons why after reading an article on line from News 18 in India.
70% of the farmers in India are women, but very few own the land. The land is often in the husband's name and frequently the men don't share the work load.
Activists are trying to change the laws of ownership, but in the meantime one woman was quoted as saying,"We have an emotional relationship with the land. It gives us food and dignity."
Perhaps this is the message I found myself receiving while joyfully photographing these beautiful proud women. We often exchanged waves and smiles.

Took this is Sapa in Northern Vietnam. It's a really beautiful place and the people were friendly. As with many places, it was the case that some expected you to give them money if they were anywhere near your viewfinder when you triggered your shutter. This young woman didn't. When I offered her money as I wanted her to have it, she declined. Most of the time, she was messing around like any teenager, but as soon as I took this I thought that it captured something more. By the way, that's not a tribal marking on her cheek, she'd been whacked across the face with a stick by her sister a few days earlier...
