Hannah Lee Bratz, une ancienne agente pénitentiaire, a trouvé un but derrière l'objectif de son appareil photo, en découvrant que des animaux sauvés ont trouvé leur maison !
Passant de l'application de la loi au monde compatissant du bien-être animal, le parcours de Bratz illustre le pouvoir de suivre ses passions …

The following morning we took the cable car at Col Raiser near Ortisei halfway up to the Seceda ridgeline.
Stopping every hour or so for a coffee at the many alpine huts (hütte in German or baita in Italian) over the meadows during this & the following day was one of the highlights of our time here as the service, food & experience was fantastic.. If only they offered similar setups in Snowdonia! :)
This alternative viewpoint of the famous jagged ridgeline peaks of Sass Rigais, Gran Fermeda & Furchetta from Seceda was at the top of the hike & even though our time here didn’t allow us to see it during golden hour, it was magnificent to see nonetheless.
The mix of meadows/pastures where cows & alpacas were grazing, against the rugged sheer cliffs was a sight I won’t forget.
We were definitely getting Lord of the Rings vibes - plenty to motivate us for next time we visit other areas of the Dolomites.

Day has broken on the banks of the Staunton River as the new sun punches through the morning mist. The signals at Seneca stand tall over the former Virginian Mainline, the distinct red-eye pattern of US&S PLs stand in little contrast to the bright orange and yellow sunrise behind.
It's the Spring of 2023. The Altavista District, long removed from its Virginian heydey, still sees a myriad of NS export trains bound for the Port of Norfolk. The era of N&W position lights is nearing its end, but for now they stand frozen in time. N&W reconfigured the CTC between 1960 and 1963, installing it's iconic position light brackets like this one at Seneca, across the AV.
Flash forward 2 1/2 years and a new dawn is upon us. On November 5th, 2025, the signals between Mansion and Abilene were removed, ending 65 years of position lights on the former Virginian. The Altavista will now undoubtedly look like any other Mainline USA. Gevos, tree-tunnels, PTC poles, and of course, vaders.
I made 4 separate trips to the AV between 2023 and 2025. It's relative remoteness often made the line an afterthought to photographers. Nearly every shot was a physical undertaking, and the lack of parallel roads made chasing almost impossible. In a mission to document the line's vast array of intermediates, every day was a 15-30,000 step affair. In an era of oversaturated documentation, it felt like one of the last lines one could truly 'explore'...where railfanning felt like it once did as a kid. Whether it was a 6.2-mile roundtrip walk to Whipping Creek, the relay-case pair at Phenix, or the surprise angle at Tabor, discovery was as rewarding as it was motivating.
Never as flashy as the Pocahontas or as picturesque as the Shenandoah, the Altavista carved out a unique role in the modern photography landscape, and in many ways, was my favorite to shoot
God bless the AV
Of course she was motivating me to stay home and give her cheese instead of going for a bike ride… but still motivating me.

What motivated me to create this picture? The idea of turning an ordinary cell phone photo with Photoshop into an impressionistic pencil drawing with the addition of pastels
China, Beijing, Galaxy Soho, another super 18 floors complex built between 2008 & 2014, located in the southwest corner of Chaoyangmen Bridge in the Second Ring Road of Beijing, designed by London architecture firm & designed by the renown Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid
The Galaxy Soho is a 330 000 m2 office, retail & entertainment complex that which became a primary part of the living city. Its architecture is a composition of comprises four main domed structures, fused together by bridges & platforms between curving floor plates to create a fluid environment that surrounds a series of public courtyards & a larger central "canyon". Adapt to each other in all directions, generating a panoramic architecture without corners or abrupt transitions that break the fluidity of its formal composition. Creating a striking, modern & eye catching aesthetic, the Galaxy Soho is established as one more major urban landmark for Beijing.
From the outside the flowing bands of white aluminium & glass encasing the interior give the complex an incredible, eye-catching presence. Within the building this image is continued with a block of white floor that matches the walls & ceilings. A complimentary grey floor area borders the bright white centre with a visually striking black stripe separating the two colours. The great interior courts of the project are a reflection of traditional Chinese architecture where courtyards create an internal world of continuous open spaces.
The structure’s three lower levels contain retail & entertainment facilities, those above provide works spaces for innovative businesses of many kinds, while top levels are dedicated to bars, restaurants & cafes, many with views along the city’s great avenues.
The Galaxy Soho demonstrates ones more that the Chinese always manage to produce some of the most amazing, creative, visionary & environmental friendly new buildings, where money & labour is not an issue, for architects getting such projects it is like winning an architectural "Oscar-Grammy-Emmy Award".

Today was one of those lazy days when it comes to photography, I kept putting off picking up the camera and finally as the light was starting to sink I figured I'd better get moving.
What better for a day of procrastinating than a photo of a motivator... that and I was a little stumped on inspiration and coffee is always a good model!
Anyway hope everyone has had a good day, and a Happy Independence Day to all my American friends!

I have been off flickr for a few years. I am trying to revive this account in order to better organize, archive my various photography/printing projects. So pardon the “work in progress” as I clean up and get things updated. I’m excited to see everyone’s work again :-D and I hope I will be motivated to keep this up! I’m still on insta, but it just doesn’t cut it when it comes to archives and organization.
This is an image from my project Aftermath.
Aftermath is a photography series I created during the pandemic, using a range of experimental techniques to explore the human condition in times of crisis. By employing methods such as film soup, developing color film with black-and-white chemistry, and innovative and alternative darkroom printing, I aimed to reflect the uncertainties and disruptions of the era. The work delves into themes of resilience, vulnerability, and the broader existential challenges posed by capitalism, offering a layered social commentary on our shared experiences during turbulent times.
Zorn’s voice cut through the noise on the bridge. “Captain Sireth—message from the advance group. They’ve dropped beneath the electronic interference layer and have located the Core. They expect to arrive momentarily.”
Sireth’s eyes gleamed. “Excellent. Voltar—come. It’s time to board the transport. The advance group will have the Core secured for us shortly.”
Voltar allowed himself a satisfied smile. “Wonderful. Everything aligns. I commend your efficiency, Captain.”
Sireth drew a knife from his belt and brought it to Voltar’s throat. “I expect you to relinquish the Axiotemporal Collapse Drive files the moment the Core is secured and the timeline reversed.”
Voltar’s voice was smooth and cold. “Of course. Once your people restore the continuum to before the Earth reptilians were erased, AND forward flow resumes. That is the agreement.” Pushing the knife away.
“That is the agreement,” Sireth repeated, each word cold as stone.
He stopped. His gaze sharpened—predatory, assessing—and he let it rest on Voltar measuring him. “Trust does not come easily from one who watches a man betray his own species.”
Voltar straightened, hands clasped behind him with military precision. “There is no betrayal. I serve the chain of command. Nothing else.”
Voltar met Sireth’s blazing stare without flinching. “And understand this,” he said, voice low but edged. “Your reputation precedes you, Sireth—but if this doesn’t unfold exactly as promised, your share of the payment disappears.”
For a long moment Sireth only watched him, weighing—quite literally—whether it would be simpler to open Voltar’s throat now and be done with the man. At last, with a slow, deliberate motion, he slid the knife back into its sheath.
Sireth turned away. “Come. We must go to the transport now.”

*Working Towards a Better World
Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well. -
Voltaire
The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship. - Amelia Earhart
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. - Saint Augustine
Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.
Mary Ritter Beard
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. - Lao Tzu
I've always enjoyed traveling and having experience with different cultures and different people. But it's also a wonderful thing to be able to benefit and enable research, not only in our country but around the world. -
Laurel Clark
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. - St. Augustine
The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are. - Samuel Johnson
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. - Jawaharial Nehru
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends. -
Maya Angelou
Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white. - Mark Jenkins
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
Switzerland, Stein am Rhein, a thousand years old city at the river Rhine between Lake Constance & Basel in the Canton of Schaffhausen. The city with slightly over 3200 inhabitants is an architectural jewel. Its medieval centre, city wall which now consists of houses, city gates & his ancient street plan are well-preserved. Numerous of the medieval houses are decorated with stunning frescoes or are half-timbered houses that are listed as Swiss heritage sites of national significance.

I'm about to cross a threshold on a personal journey that was 100% solitary and self-motivated. It took 5 years to complete.
This image sums it up. We all need people, but some of us need less of them. Rightly or wrongly, I fall into the latter category.

Germany, Lake Constance, Unteruhldingen, the “Pfahlbauten”, finds & replicas of the stone & bronze age lake dwellings, 4.000 to 850 BC, at the Lake Constance archaeological outdoor museum
A scientific research institute is connected to the museum. In June 2011, the remains of many historical pile dwellings, including the about 500 meters south of the museum located pile “Baufeld Unteruhldingen” cleats meadows were included on the List of World Heritage by UNESCO.

CPKC 148 gets a route through Grey Cloud Dunes SNA on the BNSF St. Paul Subdivision after Amtrak's Borealis exited the Twin Cities. I like that there is traffic ready to go after the Borealis consistently, so that I can get a bonus train somewhere whether it's the BNSF or CPKC. It had been a while since I had visited Grey Cloud Dunes. There is a large residential development encroaching on my peace and serenity here, so I have been hesitant on revisiting since the earthmoving and construction started. CPKC 148 was a good motivator to hustle down the hill to this spot and catch it passing the 4167 intermediate signal.
Highest position # 2 - thank you!
Haven't been doing very well with my 52 wks project thus far, but I was immediately inspired and motivated by this theme! :)
To reach this place you have to climb bare foot 700 steps. This old lady was not able to stand straight but she climbed these many cumbersome steps so that she can pray in this famous Jain holy place.
