The third component of positive freedom in Timothy Snyder's new book "On Freedom" is Mobility. Originally in America, this was perhaps about moving to the frontier, as the country expanded, and having the ability to build one's own life in new places. After the frontier closed, mobility in America became more about social mobility, the ability to move up the socioeconomic ladder and join the middle class. Increasing wealth inequality leads to less ability to do so; the ability to be mobile is a critical part of positive freedom.
My third entry for Polaroid Week represents Mobility with the addition of a motion blur filter from the Polaroid Spectra family of cameras, part of the Special Effects Filters package. I placed this over the lens of my Mint SLR-670X with I-Type support as I shot a portrait using Polaroid Retinex film.

Livestock mobility, flexible use of rangelands, and diverse herds were key elements of traditional nomadic pastoral practices throughout the world and contributed to the high ecological stability of pastoral systems.
Nomads are still found today on the Tibetan Plateau and Himalaya. Known in the Tibetan language as drokpa, translating as “high-pasture people,” there are an estimated two million Tibetan-speaking nomads spread over a vast area. Throughout the Tibetan areas of what is now the People’s Republic of China and in the northern parts of Bhutan, India and Nepal, nomads are an important element in the economy and society wherever they are found, but their way of life is disappearing.

Een Vectron van Metrans kom je in het Maintal niet vaak tegen. Deze worden veelal ingezet tussen bijvoorbeeld Hamburg en Česká Třebová. Toch is Metrans dagelijks te zien op de Noord-Zuidlijn met treinen naar München en Neurenberg.
Op 19 juli passeerde mij in Karlstadt de 383 427 van Metrans welke met een containertrein uit Hamburg Dradenau onderweg was naar München Riem.
As people get older, you may find that their mobility begins to suffer. This is very common, and in most cases it is simply one of the problems of ageing. However, it can cause enormous distress.
Even apparently minor difficulties for your elderly relative can have a large effect on their life. For example, they may not be able to go out and see their friends, or they may find shopping for their groceries too difficult. It can have social and psychological effects, and can even lead to depression.
Mobility issues can also indicate more serious health problems, so it is always important to look out for the problem signs and take steps to solve issues promptly.
Early Signs to Look Out For
There are a number of signs that you can look out for that could indicate the start of a problem in your elderly relative. These include:
Balance issues such as becoming unsteady when walking
Having difficulty getting out of a chair or when sitting down
Experiencing difficulties going up or down the stairs
Potential problems could also be more subtle, such as a lowering of their personal hygiene standards, or you may notice the house becoming less tidy as they are less able to clean it properly.
Today's story and sketch by me #1415, is a tragic story about the pedestrian, and the dude on the mobility scooter, the dude on the scooter arrived trough a fuzzy crimson Stargates, one not previously seen by myself or any of or Deputies. He shot out of the Stargate traveling at about 70 miles per hour, or about 112 kilometers an hour. And has been riding in a large circle for the last hour. The Pedestrian arrived 20 minutes ago, through a Big Blue Dimension Dust Devil, holding what looks some type of light, which it turns out is not a light but some kind of percussion weapon. Just a few moments from now the pedestrian, must have been annoyed at the dude on the scooter, because he aimed it at the scooter, and the scooter and the dude, it gave off a loud sound like a giant Gong, the scooter stopped and disappeared, as did the dude. How the Pedestrian came to Our Tropical Volcanic Planet we call Budahunga, with such a diabolical weapon, and what happened to the dude, and his scooter, will have to be a story for another time, until then Tata the Rod Blog.
These 3 ladies were interesting - walking stick, walker and no assistance. It will come to all of us. Practicing my "shoot from the hip" with my new Pentax FA 28mm

La mobilité de demain
Nouveauté du Salon 2023 : Le "Paris Air Mobility", tout un pavillon consacré aux technologies innovantes faisant la part belle aux aéronefs électriques à décollage et atterrissage verticaux, ou eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing).
"En tant qu’évènement catalyseur des innovations, le Salon du Bourget met cette année à l’honneur ce nouveau moyen de transport, en produisant le Paris Air Mobility. Sur un espace de 1 000 m² haut en couleurs sont exposées les dernières innovations et technologies émergentes dans le domaine de l’eVTOL. Situé dans le Hall 5, cet événement unique sera pour cette 54e édition du Salon, la destination privilégiée des acteurs clés de l’écosystème de la mobilité aérienne avancée (AAM), mais aussi du grand public, qui pourra admirer ces aéronefs électriques révolutionnaires". aeromorning.com/le-paris-air-mobility/

This installation reflects a facet of mobility: an array of 100 white prosthetic hands each holding a small mirror and each rotating on its axis. The mirrors reflect a floodlight’s beam onto the wall across from them. At first, the points of light move about chaotically; then, they coalesce into the shape of the Chinese character meaning “mobility.”
Mobility is part of an exhibition at the Ars Electronica Center Linz.
