Freddie & Gus (9)
I don't know about you but when I meet an old friend (or even a new one) I favour the handshake, perhaps a nod if it's a crowded space. I do not throw myself at him or her. Absolutely not...!
I've been attempting to shoot Gus in celebration of his official 2nd birthday. Official? Well, it's an educated guess. He came from rescue, was nervous and faced an uncertain future. Placed in the hands of an experienced carer, with just a little help from my boy he's come along wonderfully. High on Life? You bet !

Dear World,
Run for help when you cut your finger, get help, cut your finger again. I think coincidence is not the problem, but the time has come to check some other areas for problems.
A super autumnal morning for this shot. A nice bit of mist lying in the hollows yet bright enough sun at sunrise to cast some super shadows from the sheep. All I needed was the sheep to hang around long enough for the sun to get going. They were losing interest at this point but I liked the result. Had to be on a tripod for this shot. Shooting into the sun is never easy with the dynamic range you get. Narrow aperture helps burst the sun.
The Hagans hill helpers run light past the tower at Baxter. A fresh crew will get on board at Loyall to shove a waiting T722 south.
So finally it happened
:D
We flew with our friends from London to Slovenia for our first 'marriage celebration'.
In the morning the guys helped me to get ready by shaving me & getting me dressed.
I couldn't take those pics so our buddy Mike Franklin obliged.
See his coverage of the wedding here:

We headed to Lake Bled where our service was to be held.
Managed to get a few shots of my friends, while we drank to settle our nerves.
Our friend Jenny also took some great photos & all of the videos posted on u-tube:

Before the service we had to complete some 'marriage tests'.
One involved us working together with a 2 person saw
to cut through a log. Another had me fetching water from the lake so eva could was some dirty underwear!
Then came the service, performed by the Laurel t & Hardy-esque priests.
The vows were in Slovenian, we said "ya bom!", we kissed & then were sprayed with silly string!
We then headed over to the island on the motorised gondola. Here i carried Eva up the 99 steps leading to the chapel. Hard work!
Inside the chapel we rang the bell, so about 12 children should be on their way to us.
:D
Next we had wedding cake beside the lake, before heading back to my cousins restaurant for HEAPS of food, photography & dancing.
Thanks for watching!!

Help us to change the Civil Code. More severe penalties for the mistreatment of all animals.
A life can not be considered a mobile thing.
Clonmacnoise is a ruined monastery situated in County Offaly in Ireland on the River Shannon south of Athlone, founded in 544 by Saint Ciarán, a young man from Rathcroghan, County Roscommon. Until the 9th century it had close associations with the kings of Connacht.
Saint Ciarán founded the monastery in the ancient territory of Uí Maine at a point where the major east–west land route meets the River Shannon after crossing the bogs of Central Ireland known as the Esker Riada. The strategic location of the monastery helped it become a major center of religion, learning, craftsmanship and trade by the 9th century; and together with Clonard it was one of the most famous places in Ireland, visited by scholars from all over Europe. From the ninth until the eleventh century it was allied with the kings of Meath. Many of the high kings of Tara (ardrí) and of Connacht were buried here.
Clonmacnoise was largely abandoned by the end of the 13th century. Today the site includes nine ruined churches, a castle, two round towers and a large number of carved stone crosses and cross-slabs. The Irish government's Office of Public Works manages the preserved ruin. An Interpretive Centre is open to the public, the graveyard is in use and religious services take place in a modern chapel.
In 544 Saint Ciarán, a young man from Rathcroghan, County Roscommon, arrived at this location with seven companions. (Saint Ciarán is not to be confused or conflated with St. Ciarán of Saigir, patron of Osraige). Here he met Diarmait mac Cerbaill, who later became the first Christian crowned High King of Ireland. Together they built the first church at the site. This was a small wooden structure and the first of many small churches to be clustered on the site. In September 549, not yet thirty-three years of age, Ciarán died of a plague, and was reportedly buried under the original wooden church, now the site of the 9th-century stone oratory, Temple Ciarán. This location was particularly important because here the major east–west land route through the bogs of central Ireland along the Eiscir Riada (an esker left by the receding glaciers of the last ice age) crossed the River Shannon.
According to Adomnán of Iona, who referenced the testimony of earlier abbots of Iona who had known Columba, St Columba visited the monastery at Clonmacnoise during the time when he was founding the monastery at Durrow. While he was there he prophesied about the future debates in the churches of Ireland about the dating of Easter and claimed that angels had visited the monastery at Clonmacnoise. While he was there, a young monk named Ernéne mac Craséni (who would later be famous in Ireland) tried to touch Columba's clothes while Columba was not looking. However, the saint immediately noticed and grabbed the boy by the neck, told him to open his mouth, and then blessed him, saying that he would teach the doctrine of salvation.
Towards the close of the seventh century a plague carried off a large number of its students and professors. Clonmacnoise's period of greatest growth came between the 8th and 12th centuries. It was attacked frequently during these four centuries, most often by the Irish, the Vikings and the Normans. The early wooden buildings began to be replaced by more durable stone structures in the 9th century, and the original population of fewer than ten men grew to perhaps 1,500 to 2,000 by the 11th century. Although the site was based around a core of churches, crosses, graves and ecclesiastical dwellings and workshops, it would have been surrounded by the houses and streets of a larger secular community, the metalworkers, craftsmen and farmers who supported the monastic clergy and their students. Artisans associated with the site created some of the most beautiful and enduring artworks in metal and stone ever seen in Ireland, with the Clonmacnoise Crozier (on display in the National Museum of Ireland) and the Cross of the Scriptures representing the apex of their efforts. The Book of the Dun Cow, a vellum manuscript dating to the 12th century, was written here and its main compiler, Máel Muire mac Céilechair meic Cuinn na mBocht was reputedly murdered in a Viking raid in 1106.
By the 12th century Clonmacnoise began to decline. The reasons were varied, although attacks by the Vikings (under Turgesius) and the Normans contributed. Without doubt the most debilitating factor was the growth of the town of Athlone to the north of the site from the late-12th century.[citation needed] Athlone became the main trading town for the midlands of Ireland, and the most popular route for crossing the Shannon, as well as the best-defended settlement in the region. People migrated north from Clonmacnoise to Athlone, and along with the population decrease went much of the support that the site needed to survive, and former allies began to recognise the decline in the site's influence. The influx of continental religious orders such as the Cistercians, Franciscans, Augustinians, Benedictines, Cluniacs, etc. around the same time fed into this decline as numerous competing sites began to crop up. Ireland's move from a monastic framework to a diocesan one in the twelfth century similarly diminished the site's religious standing, as it was designated the seat of a small and impoverished diocese.
In 1552 the English garrison at Athlone destroyed and looted Clonmacnoise for the final time, leaving it in ruins.
The monastery ruins were one of the stops on the itinerary of Pope John Paul II during his visit to Ireland in 1979.
Help me! I don't wanna live in an upside down world!! I'm cuter right side up! 🐥
Behind the scenes... Mac the chicken climbed onto my keyboard while I was fixing up a house reflected in a lake pic in Lightroom and thought I was going to put him in upside down too! ;-)

I just moved into a new apartment. Not the one pictured, but one with a lot of white walls, and a policy that doesn't allow pets! How am I suppose to fulfill my destiny of being a crazy cat man?
Lately I have been feeling trapped, or restricted by the walls I put up. When I feel this way I have to remind myself that I can change the way I think. I can be hopeful, and determined. Rather than pitiful, and gloomy, which leads to stress eating chocolate bars! I've learned that whatever it is I may be struggling with, to not be afraid to call for help.

"the help" .... ... yesterday Baby Jesus was born, for those who are Christians this represents an immense act of God's love for his children ... and it is to that God-Man that we often resort to asking for help .... who among us ... has never needed help ...?! .....
I photographed people I had never met before, I thank them for their sympathy and availability: I met Antonio and his girlfriend, who came to Taormina to spend the last day together, the next day Antonio will leave to go very far, unfortunately leaving his beloved, to see her again who knows when ... I met the Japanese companion of my dear friend Cesare, who flew to the sky many years ago, I knew about his companion, but I had never met her before ... I photographed a sweet Chinese girl that I met on three different occasions, each time with a little more confidence….
these are just a few minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved (confused-blurred-imprecise-undecided) ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus made during the shooting phase, deliberately lengthening the exposure times, and not as an effect created later, in retrospect, in the post phase -production.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"the help"...."l'aiuto" ...ieri è nato Gesù Bambino, per chi è cristiano questo rappresenta un atto d’amore immenso di Dio per i suoi figli...ed è a quel Dio-Uomo che spesso ricorriamo chiedendo aiuto.... chi tra noi...non ha mai avuto bisogno di aiuto...?!.....
ho fotografato persone che non avevo mai incontrato prima, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità: ho incontrato Antonio e la sua ragazza, venuti a Taormina per trascorrere l'ultimo giorno insieme, il giorno successivo Antonio partirà per andare molto lontano, lasciando purtroppo la sua amata, per rivederla poi chissà quando….Ho conosciuto la compagna Giapponese del mio carissimo amico Cesare, volato in cielo tanti anni fa, sapevo di questa sua compagna, ma non l’avevo mai conosciuta prima…Ho fotografato una dolce ragazza Cinese che ho incontrato in tre occasioni diverse, ogni volta con un pizzico di confidenza in più….
sono queste solo alcune storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse (confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise)...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagni sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, allungando volutamente i tempi di esposizione, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

A three unit set of Rio Grande tunnel motors have been added to the point of the MNYRO as they climb Soldier Summit. The lead unit before adding of the helpers was Rio Grande GP60 3154. Interestingly enough a little bit early this same day I was able to photograph UP 3154 passing Rio Grande 3154 at Helper.
Last evening light on the Helper.
Enjoy..
More and other work of me.

This little cup was on a window ledge and there was a string on it that went up to a window on the third story. After I read the note, I looked up the string and there were two boys sticking their heads out the window above. They looked to be about 7 or 8. I gave them a dollar.
Three WWII re-enactment paratroopers give a young girl the experience of wearing a parachute. I think this is an excellent way to help youngsters understand the sacrifices that prior generations made to establish foundations for freedom and justice. No, the world we live in is not perfect but so many have done their best to leave the world a better place than they found it.
