Chicago, Illinois, CTA at night
I managed to run and catch this very train right after I took the photo
12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called nin one body. And obe thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And swhatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

About
Dust storm. Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
We had an awesome dust storm sweep over Brisbane this morning, it lasted most of the day, while shooting during my lunch break I spotted probably 20 other photographers!
I shot most of my shots in cloudy WB, but I also shot a few auto WB, which cancels the red.
The subject is my work mate, Christian. Thanks mate, Christian also took a photo of me getting up this tree, see it here.
Also, just seen, here I am climbing this tree, as snapped by a local photographer.
I cut my elbow climbing this tree, but it was worth it!
Enjoy.

About Dust Storms
A dust storm or sandstorm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions and arises when a gust front passes or when the wind force exceeds the threshold value where loose sand and dust are removed from the dry surface. Particles are transported by saltation and suspension, causing soil erosion from one place and deposition in another. The Sahara and drylands around the Arabian peninsula are the main source of airborne dust, with some contributions from Iran, Pakistan and India into the Arabian Sea, and China's storms deposit dust in the Pacific. It has been argued that recently, poor management of the Earth's drylands, such as neglecting the fallow system, are increasing dust storms from desert margins and changing both the local and global climate, and also impacting local economies.
The term sandstorm is used most often in the context of desert sandstorms, especially in the Sahara, when, in addition to fine particles obscuring visibility, a considerable amount of larger sand particles are blown closer to the surface. The term dust storm is more likely to be used when finer particles are blown long distances, especially when the dust storm affects urban areas.
The 2009 Australian dust storm swept across Australia on 22–23 September 2009. The capital, Canberra, experienced it on 22 September before it reached the cities of Sydney and Brisbane the following day.
The dust storm was described by the Bureau of Meteorology as a "pretty incredible event" that was "the worst in at least 70 years, if not the history of the state". The storm measured more than 500 kilometres in width and 1,000 kilometres in length and covered dozens of towns and cities in two states. Estimates suggest that during the peak of the storm, the Australian continent was losing 75,000 tonnes of dust per hour off the NSW coast north of Sydney. Comparisons were drawn with a "nuclear winter", Armageddon and the planet Mars.The cloud was visible from space. According to the New South Wales regional director of the Bureau of Meteorology, the cause was an “intense north low-pressure area” which “picked up a lot of dust from the very dry interior of the continent”. The dust storm coincided with other extreme weather conditions which affected the cities of Adelaide and Melbourne.
The phenomenon was reported around the world. The Weather Channel's Richard Whitaker said: "This is unprecedented. We are seeing earth, wind and fire together" It was thought the red dust could travel as far as New Zealand.

I wanted to show you another shot of our yesterdays "dummy session". I took this shot after her training with the dummies. She was still in "retrieving mode" and brought us this stick of rosebush. Carrying it seemed not be very comfortable, but she was very proud ;)
I assume this Monarch Butterfly was taking a drink from the dew on this yellow rose. A misty morning in the Rose Garden at the Huntington Library had gven way to sunshine !!

A Brighter Version, to see more detail... perhaps.
The style of the pfoto references the portrait, 'Las Meninas' by Diego Valázquez, which has been thought of as having a photographic style. I snuck myself into an alcove, mimicing Valázquezes self inclusion, gazing at the viewer.
The other detail is meant to offer a commentary on the internal world of the cafe and its inhabitants as well as a commentary on the world of Bath outside the cafe.
I took several shots without the silo and then drove further and had to stop and put the silo in. The wind was blowing so hard that it was hard to hold the camera still.

When everything comes together and this is the reflection that I saw in the mirror.......... I had achieved my goal........ I felt femme, happy, content, comfortable and pretty and me.
I have always known I was different and this proves it beyond debate!
UPDATE 21/02/2020
I can really relate to this........ if only
Marginal Way, Ogunquit Maine.
Well, the sunrise was not exactly what I hoped for. I kept falling into water trying to compose shots and having only sneakers on - can't really say I was prepared for the shoot like this. As the tide was receding towards the sun, more and more rocks became exposed so naturally I went in deeper and deeper into water.
Sometimes I feel bad for my tripod because these salt baths are not exactly healthy! At the end I loved the water movement of the waves, soft glowy light and chill or trance music in my iPod that accompanied this shoot.
