Flowering Fennel. The Greek term is marathon. It was in Fennel Field in 490 BC that the Greeks fought off the Persian invasion. Today's long distance run refers to this history. Now and then, Fennel has been used for culinary and medicinal purposes. Flowers shot indoors, five LED spotlights used. JPEG processed in Luminar and macOS High Sierra.

第二站：2009太魯閣21KM半程馬拉松, 安全抵達終點, 時間是2小時40分43秒, 第一次跑那麼長的距離, 感覺很棒! 太魯閣風景很美, 空氣很新鮮, 跑起來很舒服, 是說到最後已經是用意志力在跑了!雙腳都不聽使喚...明年想再參加。
隔天跑去太魯閣仔細看風景, 真的有傻眼! 不敢相信21KM真的很長耶!
特別是過了溪畔隧道後好像到了另一個世界, 仰頭不見天, 峻峭雄偉的峽谷真叫人讚嘆連連!
用相機也拍不起來的壯闊, 燕子口+九曲洞+天祥...好像到了仙境喔!
明年, 再見。
The Marathon Dam is a gravity dam on the Charadros River.
The dam created Lake Marathon for the primary purpose of municipal water supply.
Constructed between 1926 and 1929, it was the sole supplier of water to Athens until 1959. The dam is often cited for its role in the modernization of Greece and the first recorded case of seismic activity associated with reservoir inundation. It was also designed to be symbolic of Ancient Greece, particularly Athenians and the Battle of Marathon.

My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness.
Early on in the COVER OF NIGHT series, I shot a couple gas stations. They were not initially the type scene I was looking to capture, but when I came across one late at night, bright and isolated in the darkness, it was impossible for me to resist, so I continue to shoot them. I have now shot enough that they have become a series-within-the-series. For a look at them as a collection, check out, Gas Stations
While working on perosnal projects I was inspired by the style and composition of Marathon the video game , a Bungee game known for its striking visuals. I wanted to capture that style, so this is like a one-day quick sketch of that look and feel!
A well-known landmark on Grand Manan, this hotel in North Head dates back to the 19th century. Personally, I don't think this photo is "art"; it's just a nice picture of a quaint old place. However, I'm not going to argue about it!
I practice my panning technique each year I go watch the Boston Marathon. The runners get better, but I need a few more training sessions!
Old adobe brick motor-court front office on the left and perhaps a former cafe/store on the right, on US 90.
One of the things that has often struck me about the annual NYC Marathon is the interaction between the runners and the crowds of people who come out all along the marathon route, Family, friends and fellow New Yorkers are on hand to cheer the runners on, provide water or other refreshments, or just give them a wave or high 5 to acknowledge their effort and achievement. It is a true community event.

oh and to some other people I don't know...
This is the Detroit Marathon, shot from Dr Mooby's private plane. It was truly an awesome experience to see the city from above. Thanks Mike!
