Song by Duran Duran
Lyrics
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still, I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
(Gone away)
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
(Gone away)
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah
Oh, yeah, oh
Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Every world
Is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any world
Is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any world
Is my world
Every world
Is my world
Taken in the month of June when the trees were full of foliage, this was the scene after a very heavy downpour. Wellies defifnitely needed to navigate those puddles.
I have enhanced the image with post processing.
TUGBOATS, SEA IMP X towing SEA IMP III
I noticed the operators and deck hands preparing these two tugs to leave the dock. When they finally pulled away Sea IMP III connected to the back of SEA IM X.
My guess might be, they were saving fuel while traveling to their evening work destination,
Both tugs, if you look close, are connected by a tow line, and about to head down the Fraser River.
Mission Train Bridge
Mission
British Columbia, Canada
The Mission Railway Bridge is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge spanning the Fraser River between Mission, and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.
Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.
Swing span
The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.
The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.
CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span.
Happy Clicks,

UP 8394 navigates a westbound empty coal train along the Colorado River on the Dotsero Cutoff, a portion of mainline on the ex-Rio Grande Moffat Tunnel Subdivision between Bond and Dotsero, CO.
Ho fotografato questa scena memorabile a Cuba, dalla spiaggia, con i piedi nell'acqua, poco prima dell'alba. Il mare sembrava una tavolozza di colori che si mescolava, senza soluzione di continuità, con un cielo di luci. Poi una piccola imbarcazione ha iniziato ad attraversare il mio orizzonte. E' passata velocemente. Troppo. Le persone a bordo non sembravano curarsi minimamente di tanta bellezza che li circondava. Dopo alcuni minuti, tutto si era perso di nuovo, per sempre.
Buona giornata, qui oggi piove :(
While walking along the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes area of Death Valley National Park. The setting is looking to the northeast and across the many dunes ridges to my front with the scattered bushes and plant-life.

Navegando el lago de Lucerna
Navega sem pranto no azul dos teus sonhos porque branca é a vela sem a qual, não se navega...

Navigate without tears in the blue of your dreams because the candle is white without which, do not surf ...

The boatmen are integral part of the life around Ganges. There are many who have rowed all their lives - as adolescents, adults and now elderly. They still start their day with a prayer to the sacred river. Come monsoons, the river often floods and they don’t earn enough even to make it to two meals a day. Their love for the boats and the Ganges keeps them at their oars. A ride with a chatty boatman is more than what Google can ever tell you about hotels, deals, prayer times, weather, godmen and weed.
The occasional yacht or sailboat going between the Gulf of Mexico and Charlotte Harbor beneath the setting sun made for great photography opportunities over the Christmas holiday. We were staying in the resort which comprised the second floor of the beautiful Fishermen's Village in Punta Gorda... and I spent our stay there virtually with the camera in my hands.

A trio of Siemens ALC-42s bring the Empire Builder into Saint Paul and through the Minnesota Commercial Yard to gain access to the CPKC Merriam Park Subdivision. The thick snowfall added a layer of complexity to the already slow slog through the yard area here - adding about 10 extra minutes from the usual 15-20 minutes or transit time. I cannot figure out why the move through the yard here needs to be so slow and only seems to get slower. There are three potential switch points, and none of them are complicated. At the same time, who am I to judge?
