This one's painted in east london together with Katzo and Rews on a nice and sunny sunday. Character by Katzo!

Get well Trond!

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine,

And many times her eyes fought back the tears.

And when her youthful world was about to fall in

Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears,

and her sorrow no one hears, still rings in midnight silence,

in her ears...

Let her cry, for she's a Lady

Let her dream, for she's a Child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild.

And if by chance, I should hold her,

Let me hold her for a time;

But if allowed just one possession,

I would pick her from the garden, to be mine.

Be careful how you touch her, for she will waken;

and sleep's the only freedom that she knows.

And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe;

The way she's always payin' for a debt she never owed,

and the silent wind still blows, that only she can hear,

And so, she goes.

Songwriters: David Richardson / Doug Edwards

Let her cry, for she's a Lady

Let her dream, for she's a Child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild.

Lately I've been facing the hardest kind of problem: the one I'm guilty of, and which only I can solve...

The hardest working (according to some) job on INRD is Palestine Utility 4, the weekday evening switcher that runs a 12-mile round trip and switches the refinery in Robinson.

As the train departs the yard at Palestine, it passes the grain elevators that straddle the INRD mainline. The large elevator on the left was owned at one time by FS and a man named Tuttle. On the south side, one can't help but notice the square wooden elevator. Built in the late 1930's, it has five wooden bins inside for drying corn, wheat, and beans. It was last used in 2012, but is still part the entire complex, now owned by local grain operator Mont Eagle Mills, a large shipper on INRD of corn and soybeans.

When I look at this image and see the hardness in it, I think of how grateful we have to be to have health, to have people who love us, family, friends, work ... this man sitting alone with no one around and beside of a church ... how ironic right? I wanted this minimalist image to give more meaning if possible to our life, to raise awareness and be grateful for every moment we have here ... on this little blue planet ...

Please don't feel compelled to comment!

If you read this I will already feel very satisfied and grateful ... I will have achieved something good today!

Have a great day today and may your dreams come true!

The hardest part of taking this photo was holding the camera in one hand, and simultaneously holding Mia, (my terrible Tonkinese cat), out of the way with the other. I tried to explain to Mia how bad it might be to have your face bit off by a snapping turtle, but as usual, she really wouldn't listen, and kept trying to jump right in the middle of things.

All ended well - picture taken, turtle trucked it's self to the pond, and Mia spurted off to find something new to get mixed up in.

It hits me hardest when you smile

With that little bit of sadness round your eyes

That says I might hold you for a while

But I will love you all my life

The one who always falls in love too fast

The one who thinks that this time love will last

Falling, falling,

I cant keep myself from falling

Follow, follow, follow me down...

This is the hardest part

When you feel like you're fading

All that you have has become unreal

Collapsing, and aching

All I want, All I want is right here

But love don't live here anymore

(Love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)

Love don't live here anymore

(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)

The hardest part was getting the dang daisies to stand upright. Happy Blue Monday, everyone.

(I am a really bad person. I told myself I would not post new images until I caught up with your wonderful comments and invites. How do you keep up?? LOL!)

Have a lovely week!

"The hardest thing to find in life is balance - especially the more success you have, the more you look to the other side of the gate. What do I need to stay grounded, in touch, in love, connected, emotionally balanced? Look within yourself." - Celine Dion

This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.

[Friedrich Nietzsche]

The hardest part of losing someone, isn't having to say goodbye, but rather learning to live without them. Always trying to fill the void, the emptiness thats left inside your heart when they go.

The hardest part about a 365 journey of any form is deciding when to start… with Tolkien I feel you never really stop, but for this journey I will take, I am thinking about starting on my birthday this year as it will be a big one (27). Don't I wish!

The hardest part in bird photography is to convince your subject that you are not a threat. While on the beach, it is quite easy to achieve. Stay low, do not make sudden movements and patiently wait for birds come to you. Using this simple technique, I was able to get this photograph of a Marbled Godwit walking straight towards my camera

Photograph captured with a Canon EOS 1DX camera paired with a Canon 600mm f/4 IS II lens and 1.4x extender, at 840mm

Sometimes the hardest part about uploading a picture is thinking of a title.

Have an amazing weekend!! Be safe.

I still remember the day I told my parents I was gay. I was twenty-three years old and it was the hardest decision I've ever made because my father was a high rank in the army and my mother a very religious woman. However, I felt as if I could not breath thinking of myself living in the shadows as if I were a bad person. I felt a huge level of guilt during my teenage years and even later I tried hard not to be gay, I tried hard to think of women, etc.

Happy Pride everybody, and especially for all those gay people who fought for the rights of everybody, and those who still are fighting for a better world.

The hardest part of getting this photo was working around the other half dozen or so folks with cameras out in the early morning mist and fog.

The hardest part of photographing these birds is getting them to stay still on a clean piece of beach. This one cooperated, but just for a second before moving on again.

“If something seems too hard, let go. It is the hardest and yet the most simplest thing to do, but in letting go we acknowledge that that certain something was never meant for us and trying to cling on just brings about more unhappiness, not only to us, but to others too. Today I find that the one who understands me most is not the one I love the most, nor is it someone who loves me the most … matters of the heart are felt not heard and though the silence is deafening I am grateful to the one who found me there and brought me back.” - AP

PEOPLE – SOPHIE ZELMANI

The air is blue

surrounding me instead of you

my heart stops still

the echoed beat sounds in my ear

and all I know and all I fear

comes rushing; rising through my veins

and I am me and all the pain

I ever felt leaves me alone

to stand here chilled to aching bones

frozen in this quiet moment

solitude that feels so numb

the memories that leave me wanting

you instead; to bring you home

ssh! Silence! I thought I heard a noise

someone standing close to me

breathing warm air on my neck

the tiny hairs so tenderly

rise up like flowers that reach for light

for sunshine and the stars so bright

I lit a candle but a breeze

so swiftly blew; I felt my knees

buckle under and pull me down

in darkness praying for a sign

that all was well with you and me

I peered into the space beside me

sensing there was someone there

someone who might hear my prayer

I spoke aloud and closed my eyes

hoping this feeling would subside

but still an uneasy suffocation

hands round my throat; a choking sensation

but it was just my imagination

there was nothing left to fear

surely not in this place so holy

where so many parishioners found their peace

and minds were stilled and melancholy

was taken away; replaced with grace

I felt the cold winds turn around

the sound of changes ringing

the warm stones softened underground

I heard the sounds of angels singing

it was very distant; a gentle hum

but comforting it achieved it's mission

to heal the wounds of heart and soul

my prayers were answered; I just listened

no need to beg; no need for words

all is known; our prayers are heard

and we are redeemed from all our sins

are freed from all our mortal whims

the things we ask and do not receive

perhaps they are just not meant to be

the difference between need and greed

the planting of a beautiful seed

we may want and we may ask

we may feel some is a daunting task

but simply letting go of ego

let go of self and freely go

how wonderful it feels to me

to know this simple way to be

and I will remember it all my days

when I found freedom from my ways.

The hardest part was just figuring out what I was even gonna do with the floor, really. I thought it'd be that front desk , but it was really quick and simple. That gray panel with the clear pieces in it is the ceiling.

This is the hardest post I’m having to write. On Wednesday we let our beautiful girl go...Misty passed peacefully at home with us by her side.

Right now it’s just too painful...I know in my head that it was the right time, but my heart and emotions are overwhelming any rational thoughts...

I don’t have any pictures this week, so I’m posting an old picture of her that speaks my heart...I hope that’s okay. I just wish for her soul to be free now. Be free and run and sniff to your heart’s content, my love. It’s not a goodbye because you’ll always live in our hearts...

I had probably one of my hardest woodland wanders to date last Friday. It rained all morning from moderate, to heavy downpour, I never had a break. To top that the bracken was extra thick, which was surprising given the dry summer we’ve just had. I was back in my favourite woodland, the first time since April and although I’ve caught this wood in the height of summer last year the undergrowth was much heavier going. Every composition was the same process, stand the tripod, balance the umbrella, unpack the camera, etc etc. Just after I took this photo I was exhausted and soaked right though my waterproofs 3 hours into my morning, I was ready for home. I plonked myself down with my back against a pine tree with the umbrella and tripod as a makeshift shelter and had a coffee. Now with the energy to head back I slowly made my way back through the wood to the car, taking the odd image as I went, tired but happy with my mornings work.

Happy Caturday!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCUgAVO4zhA

CITIES BENEATH THE SEA SONGTEXT

I live on both sides of the mirror

Feel the pain that destruction brings

I want to help put everything in its place

I want to destroy everything

There are cities underneath cities

Cities beneath the sea

In deserted towns and burial mounds

There is beauty that no-one will see

And the magic of stones when taken back home

Is left on the beach

The dead see through the eyes of the living

The dead know all of our names

Powerless to stop us repeating the same

Careless mistakes that they made

There are cities underneath cities

Cities beneath the sea

In deserted towns and burial mounds

There is beauty that no-one will see

And the magic of stones when taken back home

Is left on the beach

Cities underneath cities

Cities beneath the sea

In deserted towns and burial mounds

There is beauty that no-one will see

And the magic of stones when taken back home

Is left on the beach

Yeah the magic of stones when taken back home

Is left on the beach

Uli Biaho Rock Climbing

At a glance Uli Biaho is a mountain near Trango Towers and Baltoro Glacier in the Gilgit Baltistan area of Pakistan. It consists of two main peaks, Uli Biaho Tower (listed by Roskelley as 19,957 feet, and by Kopold as 6,109 metres or 20,043 feet); and Uli Biaho Peak (Kopold: 6417 m), which as of 2006 was unclimbed. Uli Biaho Tower was climbed alpine-style via the direct East Face by John Roskelley et al. All four US climbers reached the summit on July 3, 1979.[3] Roskelley included a chapter on Uli Biaho in his 1993 book Stories Off the Wall.

The hardest part about driving to a destination in Alaska is getting there at a determined time. When the photographer and wife travel, we always add extra time to our trip when we can. There is so much natural beauty here that one cannot drive without stopping for photos. Autumn magnifies the beauty of Alaska 1000 fold. The cooler mornings add fog banks to the scenery, the yellows and oranges turn the green wilderness to pure gold. When we travel, the photographer always has a camera on his lap, ready to take a photograph at any moment.

Alaska is so beautiful, as long as mankind doesn't change it into a resource pit, it will always be magnificent.

Taken along the Seward Highway near the Hope Road cutoff.

The story says that water passes and the stones remain. But it happens different: even the hardest rock grinds and disappear. And after this only the water is flowing. :)

It was a misty morning, but the sun was trying its hardest to squeeze through the mist. Ideal weather for a magical bike ride through the dunes.

Halfway through I got off to climb the highest dune. The silence at the top was almost unreal. The horizon had disappeared in a white haze, the city where I lived was invisible. The world stopped in all directions.

As I was walking around I came across a young woman writing on a bench. She must have been doing that for a while, a thermos was standing next to her. I didn't think twice and took an unsolicited photo. She looked up disturbed.

I understood that very well, so I sat down next to her at the right distance and started to tell her about what I liked about writing, about the silence in the fog, about skipping school as a high school student to sit at a station and write . And that I still wrote, that certain experiences last a lifetime, like the time I nearly drowned as a child. What did she write about?

She dodged a direct answer. "About everything," she said. "No, not a big project. It's nice to sit here and notice what comes up. Yes, I come here often, but it's not a regular routine."

Why was it only momentarily surprising that she had a finance job? I saw her sitting behind a desk, a thermos next to her. Did she also have an early experience that lasted a lifetime? She thought. Then she said hesitantly that she was already a student, when one day she felt that everything - finally - was right.

Yes, I was allowed to take a portrait photo for this Flickr group. In full light. She still didn't say a word too much, but gave her first name without hesitation: "My name is Marjolein."

Wow...2021 was a challenging year; one of the hardest of my life. In the midst of a continuing pandemic, my brother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in March. After a seven month deterioration of his health, he died on a Sunday in October...just one day before his 54th birthday. I remain heartbroken over his passing. He wanted to die at home, and I found myself care-taking for him and my aging parents; a role I was not prepared for but I took on nonetheless. Through this, I discovered a deeper sense of love for my family and a closeness I did not have before. The relationship with my parents has changed now that I am an only child. I always imagined that I would get old with my brother and we would take care of each other in our old age, but this was not meant to be. His death served as a reminder not to take life for granted. I say "I love you" more often now.

Speaking of love...another big change in my life has been a move into my partner's house. It's not just a house, but a home and a new life in a small town in Colorado with a unique culture all it's own. Just the kind of place I've always wanted to live in and I've been greeted with open arms by everyone I meet. In addition to the deepening love I have with my partner, I have two new people in my life now...her children. Two teenagers that have proven to be a delightful bonus to my living situation. Every day is filled with richness and brevity. I feel truly blessed.

Throughout the changes of my life this year, I also had the faithfulness and consistency of my core long-term friendships and son that recently turned 21. They combine to make me feel so very grateful for this wonderfully twisted, tragically painful, and divinely beautiful life.

To add to an already difficult year, we just experienced the horror and tragedy of a natural disaster very close to where we live. Many hundreds of homes lost in one afternoon. Hurricane force winds fueled an unstoppable wall of flames that spread like fingers across the landscape, consuming everything in it's path. Thankfully, we have received a snow storm to help the firefighters extinguish the last remaining embers. Unfortunately, the snow arrived just one day too late for the thousands of home & business owners effected by the blaze. I'll be donating to the Red Cross.

In regards to my creative output and photography this year…it has been a challenge to keep up, honestly. I wasn't as consistent as I was in years past, but I never gave up. Knowing that despite the lack of motivation, I'd inevitably walk away deeply satisfied with the time spent to create something. I think I gave up on the "wow" factor I had chased in the past. I just keep doing do what I do.

I have no doubt that 2022 will have it's share of challenges. I send positivity to all. Please be well, be kind, and take care.

Yesterday afternoon I got caught in some of the hardest rain of the day, at Occoquan Bay NWR. I had stopped by the refuge intent on walking a bit to look for warblers. When I arrived, it was only lightly raining, though that changed quickly. After a short 3 minute walk, my pants were soaked. I returned to my car, slightly defeated and started to head back down the driveway. That's when I noticed two little bumps along the side of the road, which, as I got closer, revealed themselves to be two little Box Turtles, out enjoying the shower. I quickly pulled over and despite the now driving rain, got out once again with my camera, and started trying to snap a few pics. By the end of it all, I came away with a couple shots, this one included, and basically had to drive home in my wind breaker without a shirt underneath, since I needed to wring that out. Here was the result of all that.

Side note: I experimented with Topaz Labs DeNoiseAI for this. It attempts to de-noise the image automatically while retaining subject sharpness. Let me know what you think. I have mixed feelings, but it is interesting.

Geduld ist das Schwerste und das Einzige,

was lernen sich lohnt.

Alle Natur, alles Wachstum,

aller Friede, alles Gedeihen und

Schöne in der Welt beruht auf Geduld,

braucht Zeit, braucht Stille,

Patience is the hardest and the only thing

worth learning.

All nature, all growth,

all peace, all prosperity and

all the beautiful in the world is based on patience,

needs time, needs silence,

needs trust.

The HARDEST thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else

أصعب ما على النفس أن ترى من تحب ، يقع في حب شخص آخر

لاتتجهم ، أنت لا تعلم من سيقع في حب ابتسامتك

Spitfire RW382 seen after landing during the hardest day commemoration at Biggin Hill 18th August 2015.

Well look what i found... such a lovely bridge.. It was so peaceful looking.

People often come up with wonderful words to describe their wonderful captures... But it seems to be the hardest part for me... It is also true that I believe that I could catch only a little of what actually exists... for which breathtaking is a small word...

With the all new "Justified view" I thought it's the right time to upload this panorama image made of 5 horizontal images. Tell me how that looks in your "justified view". I think it is also appropriate that I stop using my black frames...or what do you reckon?

Well done Flickr team, I am looking forward to more changes in coming months.

This panorama image is also available for purchase on my website...full size looks simply awesome.
