I went to Austin earlier in the week and saw this church that I know I've driven past it hundreds of time and never noticed it. And, I saw the benches ..;)
Happy Friday Everyone
"The “giant” Canada Goose, bred from central Manitoba to Kentucky but was nearly driven extinct in the early 1900s. Programs to reestablish the subspecies to its original range were in many places so successful that the geese have become a nuisance in many urban and suburban areas. At least 11 subspecies of Canada Goose have been recognized, although only a couple are distinctive. In general, the geese get smaller as you move northward, and darker as you go westward. The four smallest forms are now considered a different species: the Cackling Goose." Cornell Lab of Ornithology Photograhed in the wild, Rideau River, Ontario, Canada.
Just the wishful thinking is not enough … but it needs just some positive actions and – who knows – the world could be at our feet …
Wishing you a perfect week-end and that all your dreams come true!!!

Es sieht nur so aus, als wollte der Motorradfahrer das Reh jagen. In Wirklichkeit wurde der Rehbock aufgeschreckt und hat das Motorrad überholt.
It just looks like the motorcyclist was trying to chase the deer. In reality, the roebuck was startled and overtook the motorcycle.

On March 3, 1897, the Norwegian barque SS Nornen wrecked on Berrow Beach, Somerset, during a violent gale while sailing from Bristol with a crew of ten and a dog. The vessel, incapacitated by the storm, was driven onto Gore Sands, but all crew members were bravely rescued by the local RNLI lifeboat..
Barrel racing! The horse and rider race into the arena, weave a "clover-leaf" pattern around three barrels, and race back past the finish line as quickly as possible. This young girl and her horse show the intensity that competitors bring to this sport. Curving around the barrels, without touching or tipping them, is the most exciting and risky part of the race.
Move back they say. Get more in the picture. You are way too close! I hear it all the time. “There’s no people in your pictures “ my former boss would say. What can you expect from a former high school yearbook photographer? Basically I’m a portrait photographer of inanimate objects. There is never a doubt about what the main subject is. When I encounter an object that seems to be photogenic, I treat it as if I were doing a portrait of the queen of England. Lighting, framing, perspective, etc. must all be considered of course. Call it “in your face photography” if you wish, but please don’t tell me to back up and include more context. This is my style and it is what it is. Perhaps I was ossified by having only an old Minolta film camera with the standard 50 mm. lens to work with for the first forty years of my photographic life. Seeing the world through a nifty fifty! I guess I am not very artistic after all. I never did look good in a beret.
I will beat her! I've lost to her before but not this time!
P.S What is it with mean spirited people who love to pick on the soft hearted? I read about here on Flickr and it happens in real life too. Get a life!
For the people that get picked on, I understand; It is disheartening when it happens you feel deflated and shocked but then you fight back by not changing who you are. That is the only way to win or they keep doing it because they're miserable so they want to make you just as miserable. Don't give them the power or satisfaction.
For the sociopaths; If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. The world doesn't need to hear it.
There is a story attached to the Village i have included for interest
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-38867290
An "ugly" yellow car blamed for ruining tourists' photographs in a picturesque Cotswold village has been targeted by vandals.
The word "move" has been scratched into the bonnet of the Vauxhall Corsa, which is parked outside owner Peter Maddox's cottage in Arlington Row, Bibury.
Panels on the car have also been scratched and the driver's side window and rear windscreen have been smashed.
Mr Maddox could face a £6,000 repair bill, The Telegraph has reported.
However, the defiant 84-year-old said if the car was too expensive to repair, he would buy a replacement - in lime green.
His daughter-in-law, Marie Kraus, said: "Peter is understandably upset at the loss of his car and his independence, but he is also very fond of his lovely yellow car.
"Everyone in the village is very supportive. It is horrible to think whoever has done this has come out of their way down this little road to do something like this. It will be a struggle to get another car.

Yellow car owners have rallied in support of a vehicle blamed for ruining tourists' photographs in a picturesque Cotswold village.
A convoy of 100 cars has driven through Bibury in an act of solidarity towards Vauxhall Corsa owner Peter Maddox, 84.
Mr Maddox has come under fire for parking his car outside his cottage in Arlington Row.
Tourists have complained that it "ruins" the view and, earlier this year, the vehicle was vandalised. I don't recall seeing though 😀

For the last decade I have driven past this barn scores of times. I have photographed it during sunrises, sunsets and during all four seasons. This week when I ventured out I was surprised to see it was in the process of getting demolished. It will not be replaced by anything that is akin to what it once was and it illustrated again to me how America is losing irreplaceable landmarks of our agricultural past.
It made me think about the landmarks in my life that are no longer present. My first awakening to the uncertainty of life was when my grandparents passed on. As a youngster I thought they would always be around. Then the parade lengthened as aunts and uncles joined the eternal crowd followed by my parents. Now after seven and a half decades the final path has been joined by my siblings. Each passing of a personal landmark has emphasized the brevity of life but especially the last one.

An abandoned 1946 Ford F-1, or so I suspect, with a rare vertical cream grille, sits quietly on a farm near Falls City, Nebraska. I imagine this pickup was once driven all the way from California and has been resting on the farm ever since.

193 553 "Responsibility driven" with DGS 43109 from Hannover to Verona in the Altmühl valley.
The weather on the day this photo was taken would be considered horrible by most people. Quite cold due to a very late spring, raining constantly (sometimes quite heavy), and steady winds of about 60 kilometers per hour. This picture is not special as puffin photos go, but it does show the rain going sideways. The shutter speed was at 1/640. Even at 1/2500, some drops show as sideways streaks in photos I took around the same time. The rain had eased up a bit so the bird is not obscured by it.

Zaterdagmiddag was ik op station Gemünden am Main om een bepaalde loc te fotograferen (komt nog wel op Flickr ;)
Tijdens mijn aanwezigheid reed SETG het station binnen met beladen knikketelwagens (kalkslurrie) met 3 locs : de 193 831 (Doppler) + ELL 193 761 + 193 839 (Alpen) ......
Wat een bummer - hij was eerder de middag al gespot in Würzburg maar ging richting Bamberg - bleek dat deze trein vanaf daar naar Schweinfurt was gereden en over de Werntalbahn naar Gemünden am Main - een gewicht kwestie.
Je doet er niet zoveel mee op het station dan de locs van de zijkant op de foto zetten en dat was dat.
Zondagmorgen kreeg ik van Vincent de tip dat de 839 en 761 met een lege trein van knikketelwagens op weg was door het Rijndal naar het Zuiden - een verwachtte doorkomst tijd werd gegeven - waarvoor dank ;)
Een 30 minuten voor de doorkomst tijd naar Gemünden am Main gereden om de trein bij Sluizen van Harrbach op het bekende bruggetje op de foto te zetten - kwam de trein al onder de bekende Brücke door - hop erachter aan, gelukkig was iets eerder de K+S trein in Gemünden binnen gelopen dus we hadden een speling van 3 minuten.
Op tijd op het viaduct bij Harrbach - camera klaar, afdrukken maar :))
SETG 193 839 + 193 761 komt met een lege trein van knikketelwagens langs de sluizen van Harrbach (D) op weg richting Würzburg (D).

Saturday afternoon I was at Gemünden am Main station to photograph a particular locomotive (will be on Flickr;)
During my presence SETG entered the station with loaded tank wagons (lime slurry) with 3 locomotives: the 193 831 (Doppler) + ELL 193 761 + 193 839 (Alps) ......
What a bummer - it had already been spotted in Würzburg earlier in the afternoon but was heading toward Bamberg - it turned out that this train had traveled from there to Schweinfurt and over the Werntalbahn to Gemünden am Main - a weight issue.
You don't do much with it on the station - just photograph the locomotives from the side and that was it.
Sunday morning I received the tip from Vincent that the 839 and 761 were on their way through the Rhine Valley to the South with an empty train of tank wagons - an expected transit time was given - thank you for that;)
Driven to Gemünden am Main 30 minutes before the arrival time to photograph the train at Locks of Harrbach on the famous bridge - the train already passed under the well-known Brücke in Gemünden - hop get to it, luckily the K + S train had a little earlier entered Gemünden so we had a margin of 3 minutes.
On time on the viaduct at Harrbach - camera ready, catch :))
SETG 193 839 + 193 761 passes with empty tank wagons along the Locks of Harrbach (D) on its way to Würzburg (D).
Big Sur is a rugged and mountainous section of California's Central Coast, reaching from Carmel Highlands to San Simeon. It is frequently praised for its dramatic scenery. The Santa Lucia Mountains provide a starkly beautiful background to equally beautiful coastal views.
Big Sur has been called the longest and most scenic stretch of undeveloped coastline in the contiguous United States, a sublime national treasure that demands extraordinary procedures to protect it from development. Many consider it to be one of the most beautiful coastlines anywhere in the world, an isolated stretch of road, mythic in reputation.
It is also subject to rock and mud slides, often closing segments of the road for many months. The past two years have been particularly hard on portions of Highway 1 due to strong storms and heavy rain. The road is closed from Lucia to Carmel. Hopefully it will be fully open in autumn 2024.
We were fortunate to be able to drive north from Cambria to visit a section of this coastline we had not previously driven. This spot is notable for the contrast of dark cliffs and rocks that comprise most of the coast with the white rock in the background, which has probably served as a resting site for cormorants, pelicans and other sea birds. There are several rocks like this along the coast -- they certainly stand out against the dark blue water.
Thanks for stopping by!
