A father wants just the best for his child. I wonder what our world will bring? Thanks very much if you have time for a comment. There were some very meaningful/thoughtful comments for me yesterday.
Poem today:
"A Cradle Song" By William Blake
Sweet dreams form a shade
O'er my lovely infant's head;
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams
By happy, silent, moony beams.
Moccasin, Montana
You gotta love a wooden abandoned downtown. A few people still live in the town, but most is abandoned.
Not sure if these two are related, but they sure did take a nice photo together. I managed to take more decent deer pictures than birds this weekend.
At day I ran past this tree within the Dutch heather season (soon coming up again) with my good friend and running mate and made a plan to return in the evening.
Although light pollution is material at this location, I think it turned out really well. Especially as he brought his son and kind of demonstrates how he guides his kid in life.
Many thanks for your comments, I'm curious what your thoughts are.
The £4,675 'Father Willis' organ above the choir screen in Lincoln Cathedral, England, was originally dedicated on St Hugh's Day, 17 November 1898, before a congregation of 4700 people. It was to be the first British cathedral organ to be blown by electricity, but at the time of its inauguration, Lincoln's power station had not yet entered service, so it was pumped manually by soldiers of the Lincolnshire Regiment.
No changes were made to the organ until 1960, when Harrison and Harrison carried out a complete rebuild at a cost of £14,000. Six new registers were added, but the Willis pipework was left unaltered. The action and blowing equipment were renewed, and a new console provided. A further restoration was undertaken by the same firm in 1998, and the organ was rededicated on 20 November, just over a century after it was first played in public.
The superbly carved limestone choir screen, shown bottom right, dates from 1330. It is a marvellous example of Decorated Gothic architecture with crocketed pinnacles and arches with tiny carved animal heads. On the pillars are small carvings of saints. The Puritans knocked the heads off the statues but they were recarved by the Victorians who added bishops' heads. The walls of the screen are covered with carvings of leaves and flowers. Traces of red and blue medieval paint can still be seen on them. In the centre of the screen is a wrought iron metal gate which is used by the choir before a service.
Above the organ, you can see directly up the inside the central tower, which appears as the dark diamond shape just above left of centre in the image. Although the building of the cathedral started in 1072, the current central tower dates from the 13th century following the collapse of the original tower in 1237. Between 1307 and 1311 the central tower was raised to its present height of 271 feet (83 m). At this time, a tall lead-encased wooden spire topped the tower but this was blown down in a storm in 1548. With its spire, the tower reputedly reached a height of 525 feet (160 m) which would have made it the world's tallest structure at the time, surpassing the Great Pyramid of Giza, which had held the record for almost 4,000 years.

This is a section of a small metal cup that has my father's initials (RCA) and birth year engraved on it - HMM!
I usually don't post photos of my family, but I had to share this one because of the spontaneity & tenderness of the moment. My son holds my little grandson as he is just getting up from his nap.
Thanks to my iphone!

At the Taj Mahal, there is a father and son who will, for a small fee, guide you to all the best photography views. And as a bonus, he will shoo people out of the way occasionally, giving you one quiet moment to get a crowd free photo. Ask for Don and his son Raj. He is well known, has been doing this for many years.
Re-working some older images, taking advantage of new hardware and LR's Denoise feature.
Thanks very much for viewing :)
My father and his friends went to Al-Ra'is on the Red Sea for the weekend. It is a small city to the south west of Madinah. On the request of my father, I joined them on this trip.
Believe it or not: it was a real fun. They were all older than me, of course. In fact one of them was my teacher in elementary school.
This photo was taken while my dear father was calmly watching the sunset.
Don't always get along. Little guy wandered into dad's terrain and dad chased him away head down ready for a good bunt. Little guy eventually came back and dined on his dad's bush without a reprimand. Either short memory or a father/son moment.
Just realized i'm filling my pages with mountain goat pictures. I did take quite a few on the afternoon I spotted them. I will eventually move on but I thought I would share the more intimate pix.
