Driving around looking at Christmas lights I came across this memorial in Lyons Michigan, with it’s lovely Christmas display honoring those who sacrificed there lives during war, I looked at the names listed and could not believe the amount of nineteen year olds who had perished.
Near Chalkiopouloi, Inachos, Amfilochia, Aetoloacarnania (Aetolia-Acarnania), Greece.
The ancient Greeks admired and honored Acheloos as a god, for his size, quantity of water and fertilizing power, but at the same time they respected and praised him, because his rapid flow could become destructive, when it was flooding.
Sometimes, a rancher will put boots on the fencepost to honor the passing of a beloved horse, a hired hand or fallen comrade.

It's a mere 18 degrees outside, as crude oil empties make their way north through the small town of Lambert, Mississippi, under a beautiful winter sunset. The time-honored Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad coaling tower still stands and has been a staple in the town for almost 100 years.

Those honored include those who died in service from the War of Independence, the Civil War, WWs, VM, and the recent ones, too.
This was taken at 11:30pm when the park rangers are gone. They will not allow tripods. This is a 2 min. exposure at f4, ISO 1600. Canon 5DMarkII. I am walking through the image with two Canon strobe flashes to illuminate the names on the wall.
The monument was erected in 1934 by Tsar Boris III in honor of the Russian & Bulgarian soldiers who defended the Shipka pass in the course of the Russo-Turkish war of 1878 which resulted in restoration of Bulgaria's independence after nearly 500 years of Ottoman rule.
Памятник был установлен в 1934 г. царём Борисом III в честь русских и болгарских солдат, удерживавших перевал Шипка в ходе Русско-Турецкой войны 1878 г., в результате которой Болгария вновь обрела независимость после почти 500 лет владычества Османской империи.

Today nine years ago my mum died unfortunately already at the age of 60...
More far away I can't imagine... :-(
NS 911 which is the “Honoring First Responders” Norfolk Southern EMD SD60E is seen leading a train South on the NS Bloomington District. This is train D36 which operates from NS Good Yard in Bloomington, IL - NS Decatur Yard. NS 911 is passing the Wabash signals that still stand tall here in 2020 in the small township of Osman, IL.
I guess this is a van and not a truck but I am posting it for HTT anyway as I think it will give some people a kick. A good sort of kick.

In honor of Black History Month, I'm honoring Bessie Coleman.
Bessie Coleman was an early American civil aviator. She was the first African-American woman and first Native American to hold a pilot license. She earned her license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale on June 15, 1921, and was the first Black person to earn an international pilot's license.
We Salute You Bessie!

Always solemn as we pause to remember the anniversary of September 11th this weekend. I am a firm believer that when we say we will not forget, it's a sacred promise we are obligated to keep. And so we shall. Last year I had the honor and privilege of photographing CSX's 911 Spirit In Service Locomotive inside of the B&O Railway museum roundhouse. A fitting and appropriate tribute.
"El pueblo de Miranda, nomenclada así en honor al patriota venezolano pese a que en un primer momento fue designada con el nombre de estación Santa Rosa.
Se ubica a 35 kilómetros de Rauch y pertenece a la sección Las Flores-Tandil del FCS.
Tiene dos particularidades, la primera es que no fue estación original del ramal, la misma se construyó en 1908, por lo tanto carga con un estilo arquitectónico diferente a las demás, estilo llamado de transición que no fue muy común dentro de los edificios del Ferrocarril del Sud.
La segunda particularidad tiene que ver con que hoy funciona dentro de la misma el Centro Educativo para la producción Total Nº 5,cuyo principal objetivo es brindar educación a la juventud rural promoviendo el desarrollo de la comunidad insertando a los jóvenes dentro de la producción, impidiendo así que masivamente emigren a otros sitios en busca de oportunidades. Tan bueno han sido los resultados que Miranda a principio de los noventa estaba destinada a convertirse en otro paraje fantasmal pero gracias a la formación del centro educativo en 1991, pasó de tener 80 habitantes en el 2001 a 124 en el 2011."
"El pequeño pueblo de Miranda se destaca por varios hechos, el primero es que cuenta con una delegación construída por Salamone que se aparta del art decó tan distintivo en él, para ella utiliza el neo colonial un estilo que alcanza su punto máximo en el edificio para la Municipalidad de Chascomús.
La segunda consideración que diferencia a Miranda es su crecimiento vegetativo, para principios de los noventa estaba condenada a convertirse en un pueblo fantasma, otro más en la inmensidad de la pampa, pero para 2001 esa tendencia ya se había revertido alcanzando los 80 habitantes, pero ahí no paró, para 2011 se contabilizaban 124 personas alcanzando un crecimiento del 50% en diez años.
La causa de tal comportamiento tiene que ver con la instalación en 1991 de un Centro Educativo para la Producción Total, una institución creada por el Gobierno Provincial con el fin de promover el desarrollo y crecimiento de la comunidad brindándole educación a la juventud rural, pero una educación orientada al trabajo real que ellos pueden realizar en sus campos. Ese hecho detuvo casi por completo la migración rural de jóvenes y adultos impidiendo el desarraigo tan doloroso y la merma poblacional.
Además del CEPT Nº5, Miranda cuenta con escuela primaria, delegación, policía permanente, sala de primeros auxilios, club, cooperativa eléctrica y hasta se edita un periódico de circulación mensual"

Seems like just yesterday I was hiking through a larch forest in peak fall foliage. I spied endless mountain slopes covered in resplendent gold, glowing in the morning sun under a crisp autumn sky.
How is it that six months have passed already?

This is a view of the main pond at Honor Heights Park in Muskogee. While we were exploring the park area these tree roots sticking up out of the ground caught my attention. I thought they would make an interesting view. We tried to look up what kind of tree grows like this and we think these are a type of cypress tree. If anyone can add to the identification of it, I would like to hear from you. This park really is a beautiful place to visit. I wish we had one like it in my town.

It is reserved for Korean veterans, including those who died in the Korean independence movement, Korean War, and Vietnam War. Four South Korean presidents are buried in the cemetery. The Seoul National Cemetery is near Dongjak Station on Seoul Subway Line 4 or Seoul Subway Line 9. Except for some special days, the Seoul National Cemetery usually allows access to the public.

It's been a week since the procession and funeral of one of my firefighters, Jeff Mann, and I'm still having a hard time going through the many MB's of photos I took that day.
It's been incredibly difficult reviewing these shots and I have not yet been able to look at them without crying all over again.
Time...need time...
*Special thank you to Pablo Roca (ondorn) for allowing me to borrow his D90 that day. His copyright appears in the EXIF data--his camera, my shot. THANK YOU Pablo!
