winter fading

Grand Canyon South Rim

The Yarra river side. Melbourne

The stars shall fade away, the sun himself

Grow dim with age, and Nature sink in years;

But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth,

Unhurt amid the war of elements,

The wreck of matter, and the crush of worlds. ~Joseph Addison

Pretend to be a young deer dancing on mountain slopes until daylight comes and shadows fade away.

Nothing stay forever, in the world every single thing will fade away. Valiant Na

My most favoritest bridge in the world is taking it's last breaths. San Francisco/Oaklands Bay Bridge is known to people across the world as the bridge which almost collapsed during California's infamous earthquake almost 20 years ago.

As "the big one" draws nearer every passing second, a race has begun to replace the bridge before it hits. It's such a concern that in spite of the thousands of people who cross this glorious structure everyday, one of it's decks is being closed for this entire Labor Day weekend.

What's troubling is the general acceptance that the bridge needs to be replaced, at the cost of millions and millions of dollars.... wiping out the old and replacing it with an argueably lackluster new. That's especially troubling in light of the public's lact of interest in simply altering the sister Golden Gate Bridge to feature an appropriate barrier deterring would be jumpers from plunging hundreds of feet to their deaths.

How many more years will it take before we realize that this wasn't the only bridge with flaws?

Nevermind that old friend. This one's about you...

So here we have our tribute to the Bay Bridge.... still twinkling strong in it's dwindling moments of fading glory.

[correction: Thanks to exxonvaldez for pointing out that this section of the bridge will not be replaced, but retrofitted. The structure rests on Treasure Island, seen at left, and continues onward to Oakland... which is the span being replaced, seen at center to the right of the boat.]

I think this was my first pair of hunters, they are so faded

A magnificent double lotus flower. At night this was a bud in the flower pot in front of the hotel we stayed in. At breakfast time, sadly, it was already starting to fade away. :( (We do not have these flowers in NZ - Too cold?)

Another hot August day well spent around the capital city following D&H 414. The three usual SD40-2's are leading, with two of the quickly-fading dual flags units bracketing a 5900-series. Good memories that I will hold onto.

A texture I created for a project I'm working on, maybe someone else could find a use for it.

Please credit me if used and it would be nice to leave a link or comment so I could take a look (and fave) the work done with it.

Feedback would be great :)

I also have a few others if you're looking, they are on my other account:
