Pedestrian crossing outside Westall Primary School which seems to have survived the LED conversion to date. The black paint has worn off the target boards of several signal heads at this crossing

Subject : Fading white lines at the junction of Kimberley & Mafeking Road N17
Please see my photo on Flickr. It shows white lines painted on the roadway at the junction of Kimberley Road and Mafeking Road Tottenham N17.
As you can see, the lines indicating that the right of way belongs to Mafeking Road are getting faint. I am concerned in case this leads to an accident/accidents with drivers unfamiliar with these streets not realising - until it's too late - that the east-west side road (Mafeking Road) has precedence at this junction.
So can the white lines please be refreshed/repainted for safety? Thanks.
The roses of spring are so top-heavy they're starting to droop..... like these a few doors down the block.
This a rather faded snapshot of my great-grandfather, Ralph, all dressed up in cowboy garb on a horse on April 15, 1911. He would have been eighteen at the time. I'm not sure if he was actually doing some cattle rustling or whatever else it is that cowboys do or not. It certainly looks like the right sort of area for it. I'm guessing it wasn't taken where they lived in Emporia, because I get the feeling that it was more of a town than a very rural farming area. Perhaps he was visiting a cousin somewhere else in Kansas.
Update: According to my grandpa, my great-grandfather really worked as a cowboy for a small herd around this time. The horse was his and he carried around the gun show in the next picture as well as a rifle at times.
Week 44
A new lens for a new look. Last week I bought a new film camera which came with a 50mm f1.4 lens. I was so excited to shoot with it but I needed to buy an adapter for it. The adapter came on friday so as soon as I was free, I picked it up from my house and slapped the lens of my camera. I have been exclusively shooting with it for the past couple days and I am really liking it. It is nothing too special when compared to my crazier helios lenses but in terms of image quality it retains a fairly sharp image wide open which is hard to come by in a fast lens such as this. For the price, I am very happy to add this lens to my collection.
I can't wait to see what this next week will bring!
While riding in the Ride for a Reason event last Sunday, the route took us on some roads I have not been on (image that) so had the opportunity to shoot some new barns.
I have to get back to flickr.. I miss editing and photography.
Sometimes you try so hard to keep things in order, but as soon as you think you are done, something else comes up.
Cant wait to get started again..
View across the floor of Death Valley between Stovepipe Wells and Furnace Creek. The hills faded in the distance and the mountains were obscured by low clouds and rain.
Montana Rail Link had the same colors over its lifetime, dark blue, white, and red. However they did change up the paint schemes a bit and the logo a few times. The logo on the side of this caboose falls between the earliest and latest versions. This "all caps" logo served during the middle years. It is perhaps my favorite version of the MRL logo, I'll miss seeing it around as it fades into history.

I have to admit, here on day 70 I'm struggling to keep myself doing the 365 Days project again. Between being a husband, father, and full-time worker, I'm having a hard time finding motivation, energy, time, and inspiration to continue with the 2nd year of this project. Who knows. 295 days from now maybe I'll have completed it. But right now I'm not so sure.
this one i never opened and was going to try the sun fading technique but i like how it was looking now with all the cracks in it.
Thailand, Phiphi Island, at a beach.
While we were waiting that our pancake with fruits was finished, we sat under a sun umbrella. It was not very hot that day. Around just beach, blue sea, palm trees. So I thought to take a photo of something different.

"Epreuve douloureuse selon laquelle l'être aimé semble se retirer de tout contact, sans même que cette indifférence énigmatique soit dirigée contre le sujet amoureux ou prononcée au profit de qui que ce soit d'autre, monde ou rival. (...)
La jalousie fait moins souffrir, car l'autre y reste vivant. Dans le fading, l'autre semble perdre tout désir, il est gagné par la Nuit."
Roland Barthes, Fragments d'un discours amoureux.
Little by little fading away in the background...
Like waves,
In the same way and fashion
as we all finally fade away.
Our passion , our liveliness gradually turns grey
fades away...
into an unfulfilling job, a undesirable routine
and finally we produce this monotonous being.
This being without being,
this full and empty feeling.
Full of regret,
empty of joy, passion and ambition.
And like the mountains in our country,
we fade away but never cease to be there...
But where?
Where do we leave our true selves?
Kakegawa Castle, strategically located along the old Tōkaidō Road in Shizuoka prefecture, is in the heart of one of Japan’s best tea cultivation centers. The peaceful atmosphere that prevails through the area wasn’t always so. Shizuoka prefecture used to be formally a part of Tōtōmi province, in a region known as the Enshū area, which was hotly contested by various warlords during Japan’s Sengoku warring states period that lasted from roughly 1477-1600. The first castle on the site of the present Kakegawa-jō was built in the late 15th century by Asahina Yasuhiro, a retainer of the house of Imagawa, which consolidated its hold over Tōtōmi during and after the Ōnin War (1467–1477). The Ashina continued to hold the castle on behalf of the Imagawa until shortly after their spectacular defeat at Okehazama in 1560. As the Imagawa faded into obscurity, Tōtōmi was carved into two spheres of influence controlled by the competing Tokugawa and Takeda families. The Ashina surrendered Kakegawa Castle to the Tokugawa in 1568.
After the Tokugawa switched fiefs and moved to the Kantō area in 1590, Kakegawa Castle was given by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to his retainer, Yamauchi Kazutoyo, who built up the castle and the town until he was given the domain of Tosa on the island of Shikoku following the battle of Sekigahara in 1600. Following the departure of the Yamauchi, various daimyo held the castle until it was given to the Ōta clan in 1746 who held it until the abolishment of the feudal system in 1872. The main keep that Yamanouchi Kazutoyo built was destroyed in an earthquake in 1604 and was rebuilt. However, another major quake rocked the region in 1854 and destroyed much of the castle, including the keep, which was not rebuilt. Following that quake, the daimyo at the time, Ōta Sukekatsu, rebuilt the wonderful ninomaru (second bailey) palace, which survives to this day. In 1994, using traditional methods and made of wood and stone (no concrete!).
For more information about this and other Japanese castles, check out the website Japanese Castle Explorer, run by my Flickr friend Daniel O'Grady at www.japanese-castle-explorer.com
This is a great castle and the ninomaru palace is just as equally fascinating. I highly recommend visiting this site if you are ever in western Shizuoka.
It's sad what one month can do. I really like this color, but a few spots still have that vivid, intense red so it would just be nice if it could fade evenly. The roots growing out are not good either. I intentionally left them out of the pic :-) Why must red be so high maintenance? Not sure whether to have the red touched up, or go back to blonde. Any suggestions?
Have had these peach colored blinds forever. They have faded and warped somewhat over the years. With the morning sun shining on them they are a gorgeous peach color.
Still working the same routes after about 20 years service, First Bristol 34538 NTC138Y was looking a bit tired with its barbie fades. The film dates this as 2005, and the location is Cherry Gardens.

Today I put out a few of my military items. I am missing my days as an Airman, and am feeling as if those memories are fading too fast. I have no regrets on my decision to retire, and feel so fortunate to be able to spend these days with our daughters, at home. But, I do miss the camaraderie, the discipline, the way of life I lived for so many years; my daily lunches with my sweet hubby. So, today I am reflecting on my past, knowing it will only enhance my future.
p.s. This is the jacket and boots I wore on my last day of active duty. My hat still sits in my vehicle window, as it did for the last 23 years.
