Grey Days. 24.10.2008, Hanhijänkkä, Tornio.
Not so many bright things in the nature these days...still I like the few plain colours and cool weather - but not the all-day-rain-that-gets-everything-wet like today...

How this came about is actually rather a long story. Suffice it to say that this was taken in Hawrelak Park after a completely busted outing in Elk Island Park. So, my fallback location worked out rather well as the squirrel decided to show me the proper way to do stretches. He realized my neck was aching after the long drive to Elk Island Park and back plus that equipment hanging off my neck did not much to contribute to my usually sunny disposition :-). This image is uncropped and could have been a so called SOOC but I ended up fiddling with it to enhance color and sharpening. And of course, it is dedicated to Jerome and Pekabo . Initially, I could not figure out the reason for him showing me the tongue but then I realized this happened after I told him about Pekabo and Jerome and I now believe that gesture was meant for them. Sorry guys, he meant no harm :-)
I did begin to get a bit annoyed when he started to hum "Time Is On My Side" because it definitely is not for me …
All of the eagles held by the zoos I serve have been injured in the wild and are incapable of surviving on their own. At the zoo, they live with great support from human caregivers.
My disclaimer: I’m not speaking as a political affiliate, but a fellow human-being. One who grieves at the divide and celebrates with anyone speaking objectively. Blessings on those trying to heal a cultural rift that harms everyone!

Bruno Gernt was born in Dresden, Germany, in 1851. He first emigrated to England, but, by the 1870's, he was in Michigan. Gernt helped in provide financing to people buying land in Allardt and recruited emigrants from Germany. He began working with M.H. Allardt, for whom the town was named, but he later joined with Alexander Stephens after Allardt's death. Stephens worked in their Cincinnati office, while Gernt was responsible for the office in the new community of Allardt. The Gernt Office, seen here, was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under criteria A & B for its local significance in commerce and for its association with Bruno Gernt, who used the office to manage the land sales that were responsible for the development of Allardt. It has continued to be used by family members as a business office for many years. Hugo & Arthur, Bruno's sons, were involved in the lumber industry and were pioneers in the oil industry during the early 1900's. They helped to organize mining interests in the Davidson-Wilder area of Fentress County and operated a store there. Since 1956, the office has been used by the Estate of Bruno Gernt, Inc. to manage their land, timber, and natural resources. The office is one of the few intact commercial buildings in the community and retains a high degree of integrity from its original construction. Two other commercial buildings are located in the Youngs Historic District area of Allardt, but many of the stores or hotels in the town are no longer extant or are in unsound condition. This office building was added to the NRHP on July 3, 1991 and all information above was gleaned from the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

The only long exposure that came out well from Sundays trip out with Mick, Allan and Anita.
The waves were crashing into the harbour wall beneath us and the wind was so fierce I was having to hold my tripod down to keep it steady. A 30 second exposure and I still couldnt tame that sea!
No banners please. Processed with a mixture of LR3 and Silver Efex Pro II which I'm playing with on a 7 day trial.
Have a look large it just seems that much better to me...

This chap is "Monkey". He shot to stardom about 10 years ago in the UK fronting the advertising campaign for On Digital, the first digital terrestrial television service, with his comedian friend Johnny Vegas (playing the character Al).
They now advertise PG Tips tea and you can see their latest ad here: (well worth a look!)

This is actually a parody of an old Morecambe and Wise sketch. Morecambe and Wise were a British institution on Saturday night TV in the 70s and 80s and you can see the original sketch here: (again, WELL worth a look - this is comedy genious)

Despite having to use pins to hold his hands (paws?) in place, no monkeys were harmed in the making of this image. Honest.
(His t-shirt says "Sidekick" by the way)

Prior to the arrival of the first railroad in 1880, Greenville was a quiet little settlement, without much commerce. Lack of transportation outlets constituted the primary inhibiting factor to growth and development. Without any navigable rivers or a railroad, ox-drawn wagons hauled building materials and trade goods from Jefferson, 120 miles to the east. Although rail lines surrounded the town in all four directions in the 1870's, each was about thirty miles distant. Only horse drawn stage lines connected Greenville to the rail outlets. All of this changed in the fall of 1880 when the Missouri, Kansas and Texas (MKT or Katy) Railroad extended its line to Greenville. Hunt County's first train pulled into Greenville on October 1, 1880. One of the witnesses to its arrival, six year old A.W. Defee, feared the fire-breathing "monster" would leave the tracks and run him down. He ran for the nearby woods where his older brother later found him and coaxed him to come back and look at the now quiet locomotive.
Construction began on the permanent 2-story brick depot in 1895, a Late Victorian eclectic passenger station just west of the central business district. It was completed in June of 1896 at a cost of $24,849 less contents. The buildings design plan was completed by Stephen W. Dodge, Architect of Brooklyn, N.Y. at a cost of $250. The St. Louis firm of Thompson & Gray served as contractor. The depot was built as a passenger station only; a separate building nearby housed the railroad's freight operations. The Katy Depot quickly became a city landmark and one of the busiest places in town. According the Greenville Herald Banner "Before the highways were built 12 passenger trains a day rolled into this...station, on the East line from Shreveport to McKinney, the Mineola branch and the Main line to Denison to the north and Dallas southward." Special excursion trains carried Greenville area residents to the Texas State Fair in Dallas each October. Standing room only crowds took advantage of the $1 round trip Sunday fare. Greenville historian W. Walworth Harrison had fond memories of riding the Fair Train "when every car and vestibule was jammed with people carrying Concord grapes purchased at the fair while small boys clutched gaily colored gas-filled balloons." Well-known politicians were greeted by their constituents at the Katy Depot, including Harry Truman, who stopped at the Greenville Station during his 1948 "whistle stop" campaign tour. He gave a short speech at the station after an introduction by House Speaker Sam Rayburn. Audie Murphy, World War II's most decorated soldier, went to war from the Katy Station, having enlisted at the Greenville Post Office (NRHP 1974), one block east of the depot.
Unfortunately, MKT passenger service to Greenville ended in 1965, after many years of declining passenger loads. Passenger trains had been replaced by the family car. When the last train left the Katy station on July 1, 1965 there was no fanfare to mark the end of an era. Witnesses included 94 year old A.W. Defee, who witnessed the arrival of the first Katy passenger train and the departure of the last one. When passenger service ended, the depot's neighbors included an auto dealership & service station, symbolic of the change automobiles now possessed in the area of transportation.
The depot's association with historical events & people and it's significance in the lives of Greenville residents during the 70 years it was in use make the Katy Depot worthy of recognition by the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Despite the removal of the original rotunda after a storm damaged the roof in 1950, the building retains a high degree of historic & architectural integrity as well. For these reasons, it was added to the list on January 25, 1997. All of the above information was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Today, the old depot is home to The Depot Christian School formed in 2022 to disciple students to learn to connect in community while exploring their God-given passions.

“Who are you and what do you want!?!” It was a demand and a question from Commander Jackson.
“I mean now harm nor do I wish to fight. I’ve been tasked with a mission and it has lead me to your party.”
The purple hue of their armor was very distinct, he was part of the Amaranthine Order. Magic welding knights from the Convocation of Bassylia. Tara had never witnessed one before, barely heard the whispers of them while training. Purple always adorned their armor in some fashion.

It's been a couple of years since I tried sparkle poi so I was grateful when some friends invited me along.
It was also a good reminder to pay close attention to which direction you spin the red hot steel wool - definitely not near the direction where other photographers are standing. My enthusiastic spinning kind of got the better of me for a moment but fortunately, no harm was done to animals, people, or camera equipment.
Animal print. Such so darn sexy. Also slutty too, IMHO. But I am not moaning. Just a lovely look.

This VERY big house at the side of the water and in the wooded hills looks like a wonderful retreat for those seeking isolation. The gentlemen taking these stereo pairs images were no mean photographers, and a study of them would do a budding photographer no harm at all!
Can I just say that posting last Friday, I thought that the drawing would be a damp squib, even at the bottom of the sea, but in fact, it proved to be both interesting and entertaining. Thank you all!

I realize that some people cannot stand the Light and the Heat....in my Eyes.......and they must disable comments.......but I love them anyway. 💞
I have come to realize......
Nobilities, indecencies, heroic impulses, cowardly ravings, good and bad, white and black — the mystery of mysteries, the central island of nescience in a sea of science, the dark spot in the lighted room of knowledge, the unknown quantity, the X in the universal problem.
