We intended going up for day gas to see the normal SD70ACe pair, but a surprise came when we saw it come west with the essential workers unit trailing, meaning it would lead back east later. In this photo, we got a break in the clouds, and the 4404 leads Day Gas east, sweeping around the curve near Plains. An unexpected, but very welcome sight.
Port-en-Bessin (France) - Ce marin-pêcheur amarre son coquillard au quai. Dans quelques instants, la cargaison de coquilles-saint-jacques sera débarquée.
Pour compléter la série faite de plans larges de navires qui passent l’écluse après une nuit passée à racler les fonds marins, place à un plan plus serré d’un marin-pêcheur.
Ces professionnels de la mer font un métier difficile, très physique. Ils sont engagés dans une lutte incessante contre les éléments, souvent au péril de leur vie.
Cependant, contrairement à une idée largement répandue, ils gagnent très bien leur vie ; du capitaine au mousse. L’organisation à bord est collective et tous les membres d’équipage touchent un pourcentage sur les ventes. L’image iconique du marin attiré par une insatiable soif de l’aventure n’est plus ce qu’elle était.
Port-en-Bessin (France) - This fisherman moors his coquillard to the quay. In a few moments, the cargo of scallops will be unloaded.
Following wide shots of ships returning to port after a night spent scraping the seabed, a closer shot of a fisherman was essential.
Fishermen certainly have a difficult and very physical job. They are engaged in an incessant struggle against the elements, often at the risk of their lives.
However, contrary to a very widely held idea, they earn a very good living; from captain to ship's boy. The organization on board is collective and all crew members receive a percentage of the catch. The iconic image of the sailor drawn by an insatiable thirst for adventure is no longer what it used to be.

Dans de nombreuses cultures, les vautours sont perçus comme des symboles de renouveau et de purification.
En nettoyant l’environnement des restes d’animaux morts, ils jouent un rôle crucial dans l’écosystème.
Leur vol majestueux est non seulement un spectacle à admirer, mais aussi un rappel de l’importance de la biodiversité et de la santé des écosystèmes.
En somme, le vol des vautours est une merveille de la nature qui illustre à quel point ces oiseaux sont adaptés à leur environnement et essentiels à l’équilibre écologique.

In many cultures, vultures are symbols of renewal and purification.
By clearing the environment of the remains of dead animals, they play a vital role in the ecosystem.
Their majestic flight is not only a sight to behold, but also a reminder of the importance of biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.
In short, the flight of vultures is a marvel of nature that illustrates the extent to which these birds are adapted to their environment and essential to the ecological balance.

Inadequate preparation often leaves us ill-equipped to handle life's unexpected challenges, much like bringing an umbrella to go underwater. This mismatch between our preparations and the realities we face can stem from a lack of foresight, misunderstanding of the situation, or simply wishful thinking. We may plan based on our comfort zones or past experiences, assuming they will suffice in new circumstances. However, life's unpredictability demands adaptability and the readiness to reassess and adjust our plans. Without the proper tools or mindset, we can find ourselves floundering in the deep, uncharted waters of our journey, learning the hard way that what we thought was essential may be entirely irrelevant.

I have been deeply moved by your warm welcomes and support for my return to posting here on Flickr after the difficulties I have faced. It is not often that I am left speechless but I am struggling to find the words to express just how much it means to me. You have all made a difference. Thank you.
Take care.
I love the tradition (and the taste!) of fresh breads and baguettes in France and some other European countries. A simple, daily pleasure:)

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
~Henry David Thoreau, 1854
Listen please:
When all the world appears to be in a tumult, and nature itself is feeling the assault of climate change, the seasons retain their essential rhythm. Yes, fall gives us a premonition of winter, but then, winter, will be forced to relent, once again, to the new beginnings of soft greens, longer light, and the sweet air of spring.
~ Madeleine M. Kunin

Previously unpublished shot from September 2019. This shot remained in my archives all of this time simply because I couldn't decide whether to post the colour or black and white edit. Enjoy!
HMM 😊😊😍
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm always amazed by how high the stacks of pallets can go. I've seen higher, nobody I know on the street is THAT tall, and any ladder would have been recycled by now. So I wonder "How do they build these things so high?"
Certain things you probably can't answer on the internet. Maybe I should just ask.
