This is the canal towpath that I always visit at every time of the year. I was feeling a bit depressed and sad these days due to my sister's health problems, now in the ICU at the hospital. The walk here made me feel a bit better, even though autumn is not showing its best colors due to the dry weather. I took a photo of the area with the most colorful trees. I hope it brings you peace and serenity, too.

Rachel using the Zenit-E kindly supplied to me by Wayne - Dragonfyre20 (Wayne). It is the exact model of 35mm film SLR I used when I was Rachel's age, and it is a wonder to me that she wants to find out what photography was like before anything automatic or even battery powered existed on camera. That's Historians for you!

The dream of my life

is to lie down by a slow river

and stare at the light in the trees--

to learn something by being nothing

a little while

but the rich

lens of attention.

—Mary Oliver

Greetings Flickr friends -

Just a quick note to say I’ll be stepping back from Flickr for a little while. My husband is coming home from the hospital this Wednesday after a major surgery—and I’ll be focused on his care, keeping everything spotless, and making sure our dogs stay clear of his stitches.

 

I may not be posting or commenting much, but I’ll still be editing when I can—it’s my stress relief and creative escape. Thank you for your understanding and for being such a kind, inspiring community. I’ll be back when things settle down.

 

Warmest wishes,

Dor

  

And I did, you could too

I hope it does the same for you.

“Sometimes you have to let go of the picture you thought your life would be like and learn to find joy in the story you’re living.” - The Working Single Mom

 

Oh boy. This is a tough piece of advice to follow. I know I have been "accepting" what our lives have become with the pandemic restrictions; like not seeing our family or travelling. But to actually find joy in what I am doing instead is not always easy to do even after months of practice! I noticed even with photography that many people have turned to new lenses or tried out new techniques to keep the joy of photography alive. I must admit that I am finding some renewed joy in my macro lens and the new flowers in my garden. Then we had two baby Chickadees trying out their wings for the first time in our garden today. I guess I would have missed this event if I was off travelling somewhere. Still, I hope we all get to live our new normal soon.

Traveling in such beauty really does something with you.

The road is so narrow that you don't want any cars coming towards you and if you do you or them have to back up until there is a little more space for the cars to pass

I loved driving there.

Aiko and me was "doing" Norway on our own.

 

The feeling of freedom and sense of achievement was very much present, especially on this road and grand landscape

Lake Superior was a wonderful place to listen to the lapping of the waves on shore and think about how you fit into the grand picture.

I had to be in downtown Napa Saturday, and even though it was raining I decided to go find the public murals I had heard about in the “Railway Arts District”. My creation here includes a portion of the mural found on the back side of the Napa Valley Register building. I added my own textures and flower photos.

 

The mural is called “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” and was created by the artists Natalia Rak and Betz.

Happy Sliders Sunday!

I am so excited, a local food photographer is hosting a 3-day workshop about creating a cookbook. A few years ago I put together a blog of my extended family's favorite recipes. I tried to make it special by adding videos and images but they were very amateurish. After doing some real soul searching, I discovered I want to make meaningful photos that tell stories and connect people. What better way to start than with my own family?

 

It's funny but I look back on my diary entries from when I was a kid and I always mentioned what I ate. I have disparaged and discounted the meaning and memories and now see that food has been important to me in ways I didn't honor or recognize. I love the way Andrew Scrivani speaks about food if you get a chance to watch he has a few you tube videos that are great.

It's been one year of social distancing and not hugging my adult children and grandchildren. Now that I'm days away from receiving my second vaccination, I find myself filled with anticipation of joy-filled moments with those I love. One way of saving my sanity was in painting with watercolors and ink. Here's to all of us moving toward happier days and calm nights. Best wishes to us all.

"I have been doodling with ink and watercolor on paper all my life. It's my way of stirring up my imagination to see what I find hidden in my head. I call the results dream pictures, fantasy sketches, and even brain-sharpening exercises."

On Unst, Shetland’s northernmost island, a striking Viking longhouse and ship replica offer a vivid glimpse into Norse life and legacy.

Unst is believed to be the first landfall of Vikings in the North Atlantic, and today it boasts the highest density of rural Viking sites in the world—over 60 longhouse remains have been identified across the island. The Viking Unst Project, centered in Haroldswick, brings this history to life through two captivating reconstructions: a 9th-century longhouse and the Skidbladner, a replica of the famed Gokstad ship.

The longhouse, built using traditional materials and techniques, stands as a tactile interpretation of Norse domestic architecture. Its turf walls, timber frame, and central hearth evoke the communal warmth and practicality of Viking living. Visitors can explore the interior freely, gaining insight into how families cooked, slept, and gathered in these elongated, multifunctional spaces. The reconstruction draws on archaeological findings from three key Unst sites—Hamar, Underhoull, and Belmont—each revealing layers of Norse settlement from around 1025 to 1220.

Just steps away, the Skidbladner rests beside Harold’s Wick, its sleek silhouette echoing the seafaring prowess of Viking explorers. Modeled after the Gokstad ship discovered in Norway, this replica showcases the craftsmanship and navigational ingenuity that enabled Norse expansion across Europe. With its clinker-built hull and graceful curves, the ship is both a tribute to Viking engineering and a symbol of their adventurous spirit.

Together, the longhouse and ship form a compelling open-air museum, accessible year-round and free to explore. They’re not just static displays—they’re immersive storytelling tools, anchoring Unst’s identity in its Norse heritage. Whether you’re tracing the footsteps of settlers or marveling at maritime design, these reconstructions offer a tangible connection to a time when Unst was a frontier of Viking ambition.
