This shot is a sunrise in Marathon, Florida, in the Keys. Glad you stopped by, have a blessed Sunday!
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.
The old railroad freight depot.

Juvenile ruby-throated hummingbird photographed in Tioga County PA. Stretching the muscles before the long trip south.
She has participated in the NYC, Chicago, and Disney marathons. Now she was heading home as the race was the day before (Sunday). Our paths crossed for a moment as I was heading to my gate as well.
Taken at the Fort William marathon earlier this year. Still miles to go and the empty road stretches ahead.
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.
A new piece of heavy metal for my running collection- for today's PF Changs Rock 'n Roll Marthon in Phoenix.
26.2 frigging miles. Do I Hate Running?
The first half was pleasent, the second half grueling.
i was looking forward to shooting the full moon again last night and was all set up at schinias, the beach at marathon (yes, it's a place in greece -- the race's namesake) about an hour before moonrise. mr.G decided to have his first swim this year and i looked around, watching some people water skiing against the hazy evening horizon.
as the big moment approached, hordes of mosquitoes descended and started nibbling on me. with all the fuss, i actually missed the moon's appearance over the hills across the water.
when i realized it was rising, i hastily took a few quick shots and ran for my life.
oh well, at least i like the composition.
if you want to visit this location, it's on the map -- and bring insect repellent, heavy-duty.

se fondre dans le groupe ou fondre sous le soleil après 17 km de course ?
je vous conseille un bon coup de loupe pour mieux diluer et "touiller" le tout; la soupe est prête 😀

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
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!

Taking part in the Standard Chartered Hogn Kong Marathon , running through Causeway Bay in Hong Kong
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.
