Thanks a lot !
I 'll be exploring the less visited parts of San Francisco for the next few weeks. Our travel bug didn't stop after we came back from Europe. As I still need to work and save up money for another long trip next year, I could only explore the nearby areas during the weekend. There are pockets of San Francisco that are unique and interesting. I think I am done with Alviso for now. This photo was captured from last weekend when we were in the Mission District. We stopped by a matcha cafe around the corner of this alley. Their desserts were delicious. The whole area is like a melting pot of San Francisco. There is a good vibe to it.

有人這樣問, 為什麼拍照的人喜歡拍一些舊舊, 亂亂, 人家不要的東西?
為什麼?
其實這些東西, 雖然老舊, 被人丟棄了.. 但它也有"曾經"
那"曾經"裡有人, 有事, 有生命...
那是無法抺去的記憶,
裡頭有美.
看這些事物在歲月中褪色的軌跡, 總不免引人惆悵....
但生命不會只有單一面向
我們總會在這當中與另一個新生命不期而遇..
裡頭有希望.
喜歡新舊交會的這一刻..
Once,
somebody asked, why photographer loves to take the picture of old, random, abandoned things?
Why?
Those things may aged, damaged, unused, however, they also owned "ever been".
There are people, affair, and life in the "ever been"
A memory couldn't be erase.
There' s a beauty inside.
It's usually depressed people while seeing these things fade in the time.
However, life won't be a one way.
We always encounter another new life at that time.
And there is hope inside.
Love the moment, old v.s. new.

After a day of sweltering heat and humidity the sunset sky here in San Antonio, Texas looked like something from the skies of Mars or Jupiter. Hope Y'all like it.!! Lol.

The maternity ward in Hospital 126.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.
A 35 man (plus guides) trip to the Ukraine exploring Chernobyl, the village, Duga 3, Pripyat and Kiev including Maidan (Independence Square) and observing the peaceful protests underway.
Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Air_Force_Base
Scott Air Force Base (IATA: BLV, ICAO: KBLV, FAA LID: BLV) is a United States Air Force base in St. Clair County, Illinois, near Belleville and O'Fallon, 17 miles east-southeast of downtown St. Louis. Scott Field was one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established after the United States entered World War I in April 1917. It is headquarters of Air Mobility Command (AMC), and is also the headquarters of the U.S. Transportation Command, a Unified Combatant Command that coordinates transportation across all the services.
The base is operated by the 375th Air Mobility Wing (375 AMW) and is also home to the Air Force Reserve Command's 932d Airlift Wing (932 AW) and the Illinois Air National Guard's 126th Air Refueling Wing (126 ARW), the latter two units being operationally gained by AMC.
The base currently employs 13,000 people, 5,100 civilians with 5,500 active-duty Air Force, and an additional 2,400 Air National Guard and Reserve personnel. It was announced in June 2014 that two new cybersecurity squadrons will be added to the three currently on base.
Its airfield is also used by civilian aircraft, with civilian operations at the base referring to the facility as MidAmerica St. Louis Airport. MidAmerica has operated as a Joint Use Airport since beginning operations in November 1997. Allegiant Air, the only commercial airline with scheduled flights at the airport, pulled out of the airport on January 3, 2009, but now has multiple nonstop destinations.
