A walk through Smuggler Cove reveals the fact that excessive rains and melting snow have flooded the area. This looks like a chance to take a ring side seat. Taking advantage of the newly formed opportunity, up goes the tripod, on goes the long lens. and this photographer is ready for the battle Royal.
In short notice, we are witness to a battle between "Twiggy and the Wind", with the forest looking on as the audience. Each tree as stoic as the next, are also in their finest attire. As the wind brushes by and disturbs the watery surface, Twiggy takes a "blow" and falters in a "blur". In this boxing ring designed by nature. Although numerous rounds will play out, this observer moves on to the next ring, where another ring side seat sits in wait.

Yesterday I enjoyed a beautiful stormy day in Madrid. Temperatures, which had been so excessively hot during the weekend, dropped very notably from Saturday to Tuesday, the highest from 39ºC to 25ºC, reaching a minimum of 15ºC. In addition, the generous rainfall left significant amounts of water in Madrid, of about 30 liters per square meter in the city and up to 60 liters in the mountains.
To say goodbye to such a beautiful autumnal day in the middle of August, an intense rainbow appeared just at sunset time, which I was able to photograph from home.
I hope you like this photo and thank you very much for your visits and comments in advance.
Best viewed large.
Enjoy this Wednesday night!

The excessive heat this weekend in the midwest has me thinking back to similar but slightly worse temperatures I experienced on a trip to the Southwest last September, and so I dug out some photos from those adventures that hadn't seen the light of day here yet.
It was actually a pretty nice morning in the higher elevations of eastern Arizona this particular day when we visited Freeport McMoRan's Morenci Mine operation. The FMI's railroad operation has completed a pick up and a brake test at their small yard on the south side of Morenci. With a rather filthy 5-pack and FMI 49 with it's neat nose headlight in the lead, and is now starting to ease down the very steep grades to Clifton to interchange their first cut of the day with the Arizona and Eastern railroad. It's not often one shoots locomotives without ditch lights these days it seems.
Often railfans (understandably as it's a nice vista) start a downhill chase with the classic shot just a little further around the corner near the substation. But the drone camera let me try out this view I rather liked for the way it shows off the yard, the local vegetation, and still has the massive tailings piles dominating the background, along with a glimpse of the houses and the trailer village of the company town that is home for many of the Morceni Mine's workforce. The steepness of the track grade of this rugged industrial operation is also pretty apparently if you realize that the yard tracks above the engines have to be relatively flat, and the mainline has already dropped many feet in less than a train length! If you look close towards the end of the first cut of black tank cars, you can see the runaway switch at the top of the grade.
There are indentations from excessive tripod usage at this exact location in Silver Falls State Park, and with good reason. An Oregon treasure for certain, especially in autumn. That said, it's so fascinating to see each photographer's interpretation of this scene. Without rambling any more, here's mine. Thanks again for each view and comment.
A fire went through this area earlier this year. When the fencing was replaced, they left plenty of extra barbed wire.

At last after the excessive heat for many weeks this afternoon we had very heavy rain! According to the news 2.7 inches of rain fell in this area in 30 minutes. It was so good.
By the time I got home it was soon obvious our part of Albuquerque had nothing! Oh well maybe later but for now welcome monsoon season.
Seeing the car infront reminded me of the Bobby Darin song
Splish Splash. The song was released in 1958 and I remember it well.

The Ganges in flood during the monsoon season, Varanasi, also Benares.
Scindia Ghatis one of the ghats in Varanasi and borders Manikarnika, a place of Hindu cremation, to the north. At this ghat, a tilted Shiva temple can be found lying partially submerged in the Ganges River and it is argued that this ghat collapsed under its own excessive weight.
Normally Shiva temple
Located in the center of the Ganges valley, the region around the city is very fertile, thanks to the river's floods which moisten the land and thus make it possible to practice rice cultivation.
Last sunset as the excessive winds developed up to 60 km per hour ( glad it didn’t reach 100 km per hour ). Despite the 30 minutes loss of electricity, and a few trees down, no significant damage to our region. Today sunny and a high of 6C, but still windy 30 to 40 km per hour.

...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM PDT /9 PM MONDAY...
Prolonged period of excessive heat is now expected to persist into Monday with highs 111-115 for the Las Vegas Valley and other lower desert areas, 123-125 for Death Valley and 113-120 along the Colorado River Valley.
Overnight lows in the upper 80s to mid 90s will not provide much relief.
The Case of Excessive Wasp Bling. OK, there is something about metallic insects that is so attractively unsubtle. Even though I have several other pictures of Chrysidid wasps like this one, I can't help but have another taken. So, there you go. Ponder while reveling in all this metallic armor, why be so conspicuous if your m.o. is to invade other wasp and bee nests? At least to humans. Perhaps it is just a thumbed nose, a statement of obvious inedibility. Photo by Anders Croft. ~~~~~~~~~~{{{{{{0}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

We noticed some unusually excessive amounts of bird poop on our patio and looked up to notice this little screech owl sitting in a post oak tree above the patio. He was mostly sleeping, but opened his eyes to peer at me a couple of times. He was in the same spot 3 mornings in a row. I've heard screech owls talking to each other at night, but this is the first time I actually got to see one. ....so excited! :-)
I tried Harman Phoenix 200 last year and found it lacking - the unpleasant orange-y hue, the excessive graininess for an film rated at an alleged ISO 200, very tight latitude and the overall inability to produce results that were up to even standard consumer level. In short, I just never managed to get any good results out of it. Although I had bought three rolls - the first shot at ISO 200 was a disaster, the second at ISO 100 somewhat better but not good, I gave away the third.
So when I now saw this in a camera shop, I was instantly wary. Harman Red 125? Had they simply renamed the Phoenix 200? ISO 125 redscale film pretty much sums up Phoenix 200.
Not so, said the shop clerk. This was to be a really weird one. How weird? Lomo weird, he said.
OK, I want to try it. Said I. That's me all over. I have now loaded it into my trusty A-1 that you see lurking in the background and will probably shoot half the roll at the box speed and the second half at 1/2 to 2/3 overexposure. Stay tuned.
The film container with its red cap is pretty cool.
There already is a group on Flickr and I joined. Frankly, what I saw there worries me. What is Harman up to? Have they given up on producing a competitive colour film stock? Are they now trying to position themselves in the LowFi-strange-colour-hue niche with Adox and Lomography? Is that a good idea? I think they should show a bit more concern about their reputation.

I know, 4 photos at once are excessive and repetitive, but I spent a lot of time cloning out wires and cables from these photos of Bilbao from above. The city itself gets an unfair reputation as an ugly, polluted industrial wasteland, it has reinvented itself in recent years and is a good place to visit even if it's not because of business or the airport (my case), the local food is also excellent. I would probably go back for more river level photos, note the Guggenheim museum, photos from this angle, at night, and with the wires cloned out, are somewhat rare.

“I am excessively diverted.”-Jane Austen
It’s hard to relate to people who say they get bored because there are just so many interesting things in this world. Books alone could keep me busy for most of the day!
Notebook from Obvious State, bandana from Final Switchback.
The last nearly four years have seemed like eons for me. Every day that I can bear to pay attention, I am horrified by what atrocities Trump is responsible for. I have gone to so many protests in so many places for so many causes/reasons, both well attended and scarcely attended in good weather and in the middle of a freezing cold winter. There are times I have really questioned what good it even does but a little voice in my head has still told me it was the right thing to do.
But, then the Coronavirus hit and I wondered seriously if protesting was the right thing to do…after reading the statistics in my own city about people of color being killed by the Coronavirus at a much higher rate than white people, I had to ask myself, is it actually a case of white privilege if I protest? This seems like such a strange thing to ask when you are protesting your outrage about a man being killed only because he happened to be Black and existing in America but still I had to ask. Because, if I am part of the problem of spreading this virus and my presence results in more deaths of more people of color, isn’t that defeating the purpose? In addition, how about all of the healthcare workers who have been burdened for so long? Why should I make a choice for them that could affect the survival and treatment of myself and others? It just seemed too risky for this die hard protestor.
I have never dealt with this kind of moral dilemma before. My sense of right and wrong is usually pretty strong and doesn’t leave room for tons of contemplation and deliberation. I can’t really remember the last time I had to seriously ponder “What is the right thing to do in this situation?” asking myself again and again. I usually just know these things intuitively and then try to make my best ethical choice. I’m not saying that I don’t see layers of grey between black and white so much as just I have an idea of how to act in terms of what is right with my soul. I’m also not saying that I don’t learn new things and from the perspective of others and change based on being open to learning. But, the idea of what is fundamentally the ethical choice to make about whether or not to attend a protest for a cause I believe in has never been this difficult before.
And, there is the other side of things that I don’t really like to talk about-the more human side of things. I am unfortunately all too human in my fears about contacting Coronavirus/Covid19. To be honest, I’m the type of person that gets nervous taking a walk in my own neighborhood and gets frustrated when I see the joggers and dog walkers on my street roaming without a mask or groups of a few friends partying on a rooftop in close proximity. It seems pretty hypocritical to me that I’d also be finding myself amidst thousands of people in super close proximity sometimes under overpasses neck to neck, masks or no.
So, what I am saying is that I am actually probably a little paranoid. For a large part of my life, I didn’t realize I was any different from others in my fears until I went to college and learned about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and realized that my irrational fear of death that took hold of me if I didn’t do certain things when I was little-tap my fingers every time I saw a green car, squeeze my toes every time I passed a squirrel-that sort of thing-wasn’t what most kids go through. And, it was crippling. Most of the time, I would cry hysterically thinking I was going to die and great harm would really come to my family and I if I told anyone and voiced these fears out loud. I know, I know…it sounds crazy and doesn’t make tons of sense. And, even though I know that and have gotten better dealing with this side of my self as an adult, it still hasn’t gone away completely. There’s a real instinctual fear that makes me think the worst will happen to me.
The news, of course, doesn’t help…and consider that non essential businesses were shuttered and school was cancelled for the rest of the year, I am even more terrified about the damage this virus can do. Then, there’s also the choir study…where they found that one man in close proximity singing with a choir infected pretty much the whole choir and killed a few too. Of course, this is outdoors, but I still can’t help thinking about all of the times I opened my mouth to chant pro Black Life Matters sentiments even if I was wearing a mask.
And, in many ways, I feel like I am not even worthy enough to say the name of George Floyd or Breonna Taylor who should have turned 27 on Friday, the day that I joined these protests. Because, as someone who is white, I could never know the true horror of this. She was a hero, an EMT worker, and it wasn’t just her own life and her family that was robbed but all of our lives and the sadness is overpowering. So, I ended up saying her name a few thousand times and feeling like I was losing my mind because I couldn’t rewind time and change reality.
I don’t know the answer to all of this and I still don’t know if I contracted the virus or not. But, in any case, I hope that these protests meant something and continue to mean something. Maybe it actually means more to those in power that people would risk their lives to fight for Black Lives and, if those mayors and governors really care about the citizens of their city, they have to act on these social justice issues-hold police accountable, take police out of schools and bring in social workers, counselors, librarians, art and music creative outlets instead. Let’s have a dance class or a drama class instead of kids being subjected to cruel excessive force and mock prison cells from early ages. Surely anything that helps kids is better than something doing active harm. Let’s put more money into mental health facilities instead of incarcerations. Let’s make sure when someone is released from prison that they have a job to go to. Let’s make sure our citizens have healthcare and that there are valid low income housing measures. All of these things will reduce crime and improve the quality of life. That is the direction we need to think in instead of increasing a police force. We need to think about the disparities between communities and races and ensure these people are protected and treated with respect-the same respect and treatment white people have been taking for granted in my country for centuries.

It's Morpeth and the track is curved, but this isn’t the Morpeth Curve.
A southbound LNER Azuma rattles over the pointwork of Morpeth Junction whilst slowing for the notorious Morpeth curve, what is arguably the tightest curve of any main railway line in Britain where the track turns approximately 98° from a northwesterly to an easterly direction immediately after Morpeth Station. In recent history the curve has been responsible for three serious derailments; 1969, 1984 and 1994 in each case the train derailed, overturned in all caused by excessive speed.
This shot is taken from Coopie’s Lane level crossing on the infrequently used line linking the ECML to the Blyth & Tyne network.

Eggshell porcelain is characterized by an excessively thin body under the glaze. It is luminous and translucent when placed in bright sunlight.
My tea set is not complete or especially high quality - but it has simple, hand-painted scenes that I love to look at. So I sometimes put the cups on a shelf in the window, and just enjoy them! Especially when, like today, the sunshine is accompanied by snow flakes ... and it is too cold to tempt me outside ;o)
