The Grand Prismatic Spring offers one of the most stunning views in the Yellowstone National Park. It is the largest pool in the park and the third in the world. It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin and its major feature is its amazing coloration, caused by bacteria, living on the edges of the mineral rich water. The pool is about 370 feet/113 m in diameter and is 121 feet/37 m deep. Several smaller springs are located in close proximity.

I had to climb to get this shot! I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO BUT I'M GLAD I DID!!!! Sometimes you just gotta live!

Nestled in the southern Green Mountains of Vermont, the Lye Brook Wilderness offers a wild escape. Carved by Lye Brook, the landscape here ranges from dramatic cliffs to serene ponds and bogs. Hikers can explore a network of trails, including a portion of the famed Appalachian Trail. Lush forests with vibrant northern hardwoods like maple and birch cover much of the area, while remnants of old logging railroads hint at the wilderness's past. Lye Brook Falls, a cascading waterfall, is a popular destination, but the true beauty of this wilderness lies in its untamed spirit.

The Blue-headed Vireo offers a pleasing palette of moss green, bluish gray, and greenish yellow, set off by bold white “spectacles” (the eyering plus a “loral” spot next to the bill), throat, and belly. The wings and tail are a sharp black and white. Like most larger vireos, Blue-headed forages for insects and their larvae in trees, moving deliberately along branches, where it can be challenging to spot. Males sing a slow, cheerful carol, often the first indication of the species’ presence in a forest. All About Birds

Waterloo Bridge offers probably one of the best views of the Square Mile in London. This is the small area from which the whole city eventually grew. In front we have Blackfriars Bridge spanning the River Thames.

Odin offers the völva his necklace and ring as payment for telling him the future. She then begins to inform him about the creation of the world, the first gods and people, as well as the end of the world – Ragnarök, when gods will do battle with giants. The seeress also describes how after Ragnarök, the all-destructive war, the world will rise again. But she also sees that evil will return to the world.

Ford offered a 5cwt Van version of the Ford Model Y from 1932 to 1937 with the 933cc sidevalve engine. In 1936 Ford commercials adopted the name 'Fordson'. The Model Y was developed into the English-designed Ford 7Y 8hp in 1937 and a 5cwt Fordson Van was based on this model.

Wakefield Cathedral offered tours of their tower as part of the Heritage Weekend and I took the opportunity to go up and take a photo of the amazing view over the city.

They are only able to offer tours of the tower periodically because of the peregrines that nest in a box made at Sheffield University: wakefieldnaturalists.org/?page_id=1491

I took the tower tour last year and uploaded the resulting photos. This year I only produced one image, in which I wanted to show as much of the city as possible. (Last year's photos are in this album: www.flickr.com/photos/crutchleyrhodes/albums/721576486989... )

In the centre of this 12-shot panoramic image, stitched in photoshop, you can see the spire of the Town Hall, a Grade I listed building in the middle of Wakefield's Civic Quarter.

Katharine Docks, situated on the east side of Tower Bridge, is a tranquil oasis that offers a variety of dining and leisure activities. Despite being located close to the Tower of London; this serene location has managed to maintain its peaceful environment. St Katharine Docks has a rich history, dating back to the 12th Century, and continues to serve as a bustling hub for boats, as well as a popular destination for locals and tourists to unwind and have fun.

St Katharine Docks took their name from the former hospital of St Katharine's by the Tower, built in the 12th century, which stood on the site. An intensely built-up area, the entire 23-acre (9.5 hectares) Precinct of St Katharine by the Tower and part of East Smithfield, was earmarked for redevelopment by an act of Parliament, the St. Katharine's Dock Act 1825, with construction commencing in May 1827. Some 1,250 houses were demolished, together with the medieval hospital of St. Katharine. Around 11,300 inhabitants, mostly port workers crammed into unsanitary slums, lost their homes; only the property owners received compensation. The scheme was designed by engineer Thomas Telford and was his only major project in London. George Turnbull and James Waylen were working for Telford. To create as much quayside as possible, the docks were designed in the form of two linked basins (East and West), both accessed via an entrance lock from the Thames. Steam engines designed by James Watt and Matthew Boulton kept the water level in the basins about four feet above that of the tidal river. By 1830, the docks had cost over £2 million to build.

Telford aimed to minimise the amount of quayside activity and specified that the docks' warehouses (designed by the architect Philip Hardwick) be built right on the quayside so that goods could be unloaded directly into them.

The docks were officially opened on 25 October 1828. Although well used, they were not a great commercial success and were unable to accommodate large ships. They were amalgamated in 1864 with the neighbouring London Docks. In 1909, the Port of London Authority took over the management of almost all of the Thames docks, including St Katharine Dock. By the 1930s the only regular use was by ships of the General Steam Navigation Company.

St Katharine Docks were badly damaged by German bombing during the Second World War. All the warehouses around the eastern basin were destroyed, and the site they had occupied remained derelict until the 1960s.

The dock entrance lock was rebuilt in 1957 but the docks ceased commercial use in 1968. The remaining wharehouses on the western side were demolished to make way for redevelopment.

Vanuatu consists of 83 islands and has much to offer; active volcanoes, tropical beaches, dense rainforests, a very rich culture and amazingly friendly people. Of the several islands I visited, the island of Tanna has undoubtedly made the biggest impression on me. The whole island is covered with black volcanic ash deposited by Mount Yasur, an active volcano that has been erupting almost continuously for more than 800 years.

My accommodation on the island consists of a treehouse not far from Mount Yasur. The treehouse is hidden in thick forest, just high enough to be able to see the volcano through the foliage. I can hear its rumbling all day, and from my bed at night, I can see it shooting red burning lava high into the air.

The view on the other hand is almost equally impressive. Several times there appears a rainbow above the with rainforest covered hills. Together with the dull rumbling of the volcano, the swallows flying around, the deep black soil covered with large tree ferns and the chickens scratching around the forest floor this makes for a special, almost prehistoric feel.

Avec sa courbe spectaculaire et sa structure typique des années 20, ce magnifique escalier patrimonial situé au Printemps Haussmann qui répondent aux lignes rationnelles de l’Art déco

Il est né en pleines Années Folles, entre 1922 et 1924 sous la direction de l’architecte Georges Wybo

Il a été érigé 60 ans après la création du Grand Magasin à la suite des incendies des Nouveaux Magasins Printemps Haussmann de 1921

Après une restauration minutieuse, faisant suite à une fermeture de près de 40 ans, il retrouve un rôle d’honneur au Printemps Haussmann,

C’est la seule structure du Printemps Haussmann en béton armé.

Elle est unique dans le magasin et offre une grande légèreté grâce à la succession de miroirs le long des murs latéraux.

L'escalier flottant : Il se caractérise par l'absence de points d'appui visibles. Les rampes sont délimitées par des ferronneries aux motifs géométriques courant au centre de la cage.

La rambarde en forme de P : Cette caractéristique souligne l'attachement du Printemps à son identité et s'inscrit dans une approche moderne de la mise en valeur

With its spectacular curve and its typical structure of the 20s, this magnificent heritage staircase located at Printemps Haussmann that responds to the rational lines of Art Deco It was born in the middle of the Roaring Twenties, between 1922 and 1924 under the direction of the architect Georges Wybo It was erected 60 years after the creation of the Department Store following the fires of the New Printemps Haussmann Stores in 1921 After a meticulous restoration, following a closure of nearly 40 years, it returns to an honorary role at the Printemps Haussmann, It is the only structure of the Printemps Haussmann in reinforced concrete. It is unique in the store and offers great lightness thanks to the succession of mirrors along the side walls.

The floating staircase: It is characterized by the absence of visible support points. The ramps are delimited by metalwork with geometric patterns running through the centre of the cage.

The P-shaped railing: This feature underlines Printemps' attachment to its identity and is part of a modern approach to showcasing its heritage

Summer in full bloom offers some of the most vibrant colour palettes of the year, and this field at the Cotswold lavender farm was an absolute feast for the eyes. The striking contrast between the deep, rich purple of the lavender in the foreground and the sweeping, golden-yellow sea of wildflowers stretching into the distance created a backdrop that was simply impossible to ignore.

While landscape photography often focuses entirely on the grand environment, adding a human element can transform a scene from a pretty postcard into a story. As this young girl walked through the rows, completely absorbed in the scale of the flowers around her, she reached out a hand toward the field. That subtle, candid gesture instantly gave the scene its heart. It creates a sense of scale and wonder, inviting the viewer to step into her shoes and experience the overwhelming beauty of the moment.

Framing the shot to balance the two bold blocks of colour—purple below, gold above—allows the eye to sweep naturally through the scene, leading directly to the figure in white. It’s a simple, quiet interaction between nature and curiosity, capturing that timeless, childhood feeling of being happily lost in a world of endless colour.

Technique offer us new possiblities for experimenting. I believe curiosity is present in all human beings. An internal force moves skaters to experiment things that the rest of us, we can not dream of .In my case I enjoied exploring what could result from the use of different edition programs together, "eh voilà" the outcome!

The stone sculptures in Sno, a small village in the Kazbegi region of Georgia, are part of a remarkable art project in the Caucasus. These sculptures consist of impressive stone artworks depicting giant faces, often with a melancholic or mysterious expression. They were created by local artist Merab Piranishvili, who is renowned for his unique ability to bring faces and emotions to life in natural stone. Working primarily with local stones, he carves expressive facial features that tell stories about life, the soul, and the deep connection with nature. The sculptures symbolize the ancient wisdom of the mountain dwellers and the spirit of the past. The faces sometimes appear sad or contemplative, reflecting both the challenges and the beauty of life in the Caucasus. Fully integrated into the surrounding landscape, the sculptures stand among the mountains, hills, and rugged grasslands, blending seamlessly with their natural environment. This is what makes Piranishvili’s work so unique: he respects the natural shapes of the stones and subtly adds human characteristics without compromising their raw, natural beauty. Piranishvili often works directly in the field, selecting local stones and carving them with a hammer and chisel. He carefully considers the natural form of each stone, adapting his designs to create a result that looks organic and harmonizes with the surrounding environment.

Sno is located near the breathtaking Stepantsminda area and the imposing Mount Kazbegi. The stone sculptures are a hidden gem in this region, attracting an increasing number of art enthusiasts and travelers. The site exudes a serene, almost meditative atmosphere—perfect for those seeking something unique off the beaten path. If you ever find yourself near Kazbegi, these sculptures are well worth a visit. They offer a truly unique experience where art and nature come together in perfect harmony.

De stenen sculpturen in Sno, een klein dorpje in de Kazbegi-regio van Georgië, maken deel uit van een bijzonder kunstproject in de Kaukasus. De sculpturen bestaan uit indrukwekkende stenen kunstwerken van gigantische gezichten, die vaak een melancholische of mysterieuze uitstraling hebben. Ze zijn gecreëerd door de lokale kunstenaar Merab Piranishvili, die bekendstaat om zijn unieke vaardigheid om gezichten en emoties tot leven te brengen in natuursteen. Hij werkt voornamelijk met lokale stenen en geeft ze expressieve gezichtsuitdrukkingen die verhalen vertellen over het leven, de ziel en de diepe verbondenheid met de natuur. De sculpturen symboliseren de oude wijsheid van de bergbewoners en de geest van het verleden. De gezichten tonen soms een droevige of reflectieve uitdrukking, wat de uitdagingen én de schoonheid van het leven in de Kaukasus weerspiegelt. De beelden zijn volledig geïntegreerd in het omringende landschap: ze staan tussen de bergen, heuvels en het ruige grasland, waardoor ze naadloos opgaan in hun natuurlijke omgeving. Dit maakt het werk van Piranishvili zo uniek: hij respecteert de oorspronkelijke vormen van de stenen en voegt subtiel menselijke kenmerken toe, zonder hun ruwe, natuurlijke schoonheid aan te tasten. Sno ligt vlakbij het adembenemende berggebied Stepantsminda en de imposante Kazbegi-berg. De stenen sculpturen zijn een verborgen juweel in deze regio en trekken steeds meer kunstliefhebbers en reizigers aan. De plek straalt een rustige, bijna meditatieve sfeer uit, ideaal voor wie op zoek is naar iets unieks buiten de gebaande paden. Piranishvili werkt meestal direct in het veld, waarbij hij natuursteen uit de regio selecteert en met hamer en beitel bewerkt. Hij houdt rekening met de oorspronkelijke vormen van de steen en past zijn ontwerpen hierop aan, zodat het eindresultaat natuurlijk oogt en harmonieert met de omgeving. Als je ooit in de buurt van Kazbegi bent, mag je deze sculpturen zeker niet missen. Ze bieden een bijzondere ervaring waarin kunst en natuur op een unieke manier samensmelten!

Easter holidays offered mixed weather conditions so there was enough time für extended mountain bike tours around my home. I focused on castles and manor houses in East Westphalia and Lower-Saxony, Saturday I visited Gut Stockhausen in The Lübbecke Area, Ostwestfalen, Germany

The summer time offers more light to chase the Manchester Turn out of Cedar Rapids, on duty 17:00 during the week. While traffic has really hit the dumps with the virus stuff going on, the Cedar Rapids corridor has stayed steady for the most part. Even enough traffic this week for a 2nd motor to find it's way to CR. With that being the case we chased the Friday night job out of town with a decent set of CN power. Here the job tops the grade near MP 6, a few miles north of Ryan as the shadows get long on their northbound trip. At Manchester 567 will trade trains with 565 who is working west out of Dubuque.

✨ JUMO – The Allen Outfit✨

Somewhere between the whisper of wind through autumn leaves and the warmth of golden sunlight on my skin, I found the kind of elegance that doesn’t need to shout to be heard. That’s what the Allen Outfit by JUMO Fashion embodies — quiet confidence wrapped in high couture.

💫 The silhouette is sleek yet powerful: a long, fluid skirt that glides with every step, a perfectly tailored crop top that celebrates the feminine form, and a sumptuous oversized faux-fur coat that turns every movement into a statement. It’s the kind of ensemble that recalls the cinematic glamour of the 1970s — think Halston’s Studio 54 muse meets the natural seduction of modern biophilia, where texture and pattern evoke the organic rhythm of life itself.

🍃 I chose the printed fur in ochre — a tone that mirrors the forest floor in fall — while the leopard-inspired pattern from the HUD’s 5 Pois and 8 Printed Fur options brought nature’s wild grace to my look. The HUD offers a lush selection of 15 smooth tones, 5 floral prints, and those daring 5 pois (polka-inspired) colors, each designed to let your mood and setting intertwine. Whether you want a sleek monochrome moment or a garden of exotic patterning, the Allen Outfit lets you compose your own visual symphony.

💛 In this moment — lying beneath the canopy of amber trees — I felt the world breathe back. My fashion became my connection to the earth: sensual, untamed, and alive.

A late eastbound Zephyr offered me a chance to scratch off another bucket list location. There's an angled truss bridge that goes over the UP Falls City Sub [ex-MOP] just off the cluster of interstate bridges at what UP calls Summit. Because of that situation, there isn't any quick way to access this spot: I parked about "2 blocks" away, hopped a fence, and walked beside/under the interstate interchange. The shot is pretty tight with some junk on either side of the tracks, but it still framed up pretty nice for a tight crop on the scene.

Officially offered for sale on February 10, 1955, the first Chrysler 300 was athletic looking with 300 gross horsepower aboard, it was among the quickest cars of its time. It was able to achieve 60 mph in just 9.8 seconds, according to a test in Mechanix Illustrated by “Uncle Tom” McCahill. Uncle Tom also spurred the car up to a full 130 MPH. Tom McCahill and others in the contemporary automotive press used the term Beautiful Brutes” to describe Chrysler 300 series cars.

Besides being the most powerful production car of its time, the first Chrysler 300 was also among the best handling, thanks to a heavy-duty suspension. It can very well be considered an ancestor of the later muscle cars, though much more expensive, luxurious and exclusive.

The most prominent display of the first 300’s attributes did not come in any showroom, but on racetracks around the Southeast. Back in 1955, NASCAR stock cars were, in fact, stock production vehicles. Except for some crude safety equipment and numbers on the doors, they were almost indistinguishable from the cars the public could buy. With absolutely no financial support from Chrysler, Mercury Outboard founder Carl Kieckhaefer campaigned a fleet of white 300s during the 1955 NASCAR and AAA seasons with drivers like the Flock brothers (Tim, Fonty and Bob), Norm Nelson, Buck Baker, Speedy Thompson and Frank Mundy to name a few.

The Kieckhaefer 300s were spectacularly dominant and overwhelmed the factory-backed Chevrolets and Fords. Tim Flock took the driver’s championship while winning 18 races. He finished in the top five an astounding 32 times. His brother, Fonty, took another three victories, while Chrysler campaigner Lee Petty took home three trophies. Suddenly, the 300 had a glorious racing heritage in addition to its advertised Hundred Million Dollar Look.

Considering the short model year for that first 300, 1,725 were sold at an expensive $4,109 base price.

This was the car to start the legacy. Virgil Exner, then Chrysler's design chief, called his new styling direction "The Forward Look". The 1955 300 had a 2 door coupe body and clean, simple Chrysler Windsor side and rear quarter trim. Up front were two large Imperial “egg crate” grilles. This first of the letter series cars did not actually bear a letter. Chrysler’s original manuals named it the C-300, which was an appropriate name for the car. The “C-” designation was applied to all Chrysler models, and the 300 stood for the engine horsepower.

It was THE first modern American production car to achieve this 300hp output. Power came from an updated source already available; the fabled “Hemi” 331 cubic inch hemispherical head engine, modified with a “full race” cam, solid lifters, larger dual exhaust, and topped off with 2 4-barrel carburetors. The suspension was made firmer, allowing it to handle far better than most cars. It was given a special performance PowerFlite 2-speed automatic transmission, while the inside remained pure luxury.

Notably, it was fast. The battle lines would be drawn when it ran 127.58 MPH in the flying mile on the sands at Daytona Speed Weeks, and averaged 92 mph in the Daytona Grand National stock car race. This car dominated the stock car circuit, earning the NASCAR and AAA championships its first year out.

The car was available in three standard exterior colors: Black, Tango Red and Platinum, combined with a luxurious tan leather interior.

In my previous article, like many photographer, I was very excited about the release of the new R6 and R5 because they offered tremendous advances.

www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/50209737163/in/dateposted/

I bought the R6, the Canon RF 100-500mm and sold everything to buy again a 5D mark III

Why? Because the Canon R6 is also that:

1) Delivery of the RF – EF Adapter Ring offered by Canon has arrived 60 days after purchase. Fortunately, my nice store went out of its way to lend me one.

Many customers have suffered this and it is scandalous on the part of Canon not to have integrated the ring in the original box.

2) Prepare to pay (and I'm not even talking about new RF lenses)

- a very fast and robust SD card to enjoy the burst like the Sony Tough SD

- Resistant, I used Lightroom 6 box. To read new raw CR3s, you need Lightroom Classic

- To make the photos look like a Canon Picture Style you need a quality color profile, thank you to Damien Bernal for your recommendations

www.colorfidelity.com/

The choice of an L Bracket is complicated with this screen, Tom Migot has devoted several videos to it.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA25FyekVKY

The R6 is with High ISO but if you want a very clean result, Denoise by Topaze is the best Tool , So, one question: Why have I never needed it before?

www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/51296276233

This photo at 12800 iso will be almost unusable on 5D Mark III but never forget that the easiest and most beautiful thing is to take pictures when there is ... light

- The second battery is essential. It is difficult to say how many pictures you can take with one battery but I advise you to double your battery park as well as the charging time.

For years, I shot without ever thinking about the drums with a second in the bag never used.

3) The ergonomics of the R6 disappointed me and brought nothing

- The grip is worse than before. However, I have small hands and the handle seems too small to me. Those with large hands have their little finger in the air and some props even sell a base to add.

I wore for years a 5d Mark III with a 300mm 2.8mm IS II sometimes by the tips of two fingers to tell if the whole thing was balanced.

- The SD card door opens only by friction. There is still a small slot to slide a nail with difficulty, but the 5d Mark III and IV opened more easily with one hand.

The adjustable screen has never been useful to me because its tilt to the left of the device is not practical and even less with the L bracket

Touch has never been useful to me, in the field physical buttons are more practical

4 / A user experience that sometimes disappoints:

- Eye tracking stalls when it is too complicated in the foliage. Does the ultimate portrait of your dreams with a subject against a pretty background require this technology?

- In billebaude if you take your camera back, it will sometimes take a while before everything turns on again. Several times I had to turn off the R6 completely because the autofocus didn't know where it was.

- You see a beautiful sunset, you take your R6, you put your eye in the viewfinder and there… disappointment. Why not keep looking in our good old DSLR?

5) The rendering of R5 and R6 is often very different in appearance compared to DSLR.

More so if you mount a native RF lens.

Is it the technology or the level of detail that wants this? The shots often appear to be very artificially separated, and natural colors like grass are sometimes strange. I know you can change everything in PP, but all of this bothers me and takes me away from the pictorial and cinematographic universe.

My daughter came home from school with a drastically different school photo than I saw for a decade, I got it, the canon photographer (my daughter had asked a few years ago ;-) had bought an R6 or R5 and the schoolyard became a bit strange as « Gattaca ».... Advantage for Eye AF, it’s tea time for him ;-)

6) Let's talk about goals.

The photos of a Canon hybrid with an RF lens that I have seen in recent months made me want to buy a Canon EF 85mm f1.2 II 1 month after the R6. I'm not sure that was the goal. from Canon that we buy back the EF lenses that we had sold second-hand.

www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/50806574161

Canon did not lose everything because, to get Canon cash back, I exchanged my Canon EF 300MM 2.8 is II before the summer of 2021 for an RF 100-500mm ...

Why did I do this?

Fear of obsolescence and maybe a follow-up helped by an abundant marketing hype which made me give in and go against my convictions of never buying a zoom because the rendering really has nothing to do with a focal length fixed premium… I sold it 1 month later.

The bottom line of this financially not very pleasant operation is that, as in many areas, if we have the feeling that things will not be in our best interest, it is better to abstain ;-)

What will I miss most about the Canon R6

Focusing in low light, your 85mm 1.2 will get a facelift

Staggering stabilization from 100-500mm net to 1/50 th to 500mm

The focus on the eye, clearly the majority of wedding, sports and animal photographers will never want to go back, I understand them, this is a decisive advantage over the competition

And especially the advantage of having the collimators close to the edge unlike the DSLR

The burst and the endless sorting it generates, the swiveling screen, the touchscreen, the wifi, the gps, I will miss less.

I don't think I’ll buy again this excellent 300mm 2.8 IS II.

I still got the magical 135 mm F2 and 85mm 1.2 , my next wildlife Canon Lens will be a prime EF, surely excellent, not too big (price too) because I take my equipment everywhere, repairable I don't know ...

www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/47688762631

Every day, especially since the digital and the Internet, our so-called user-friendly world becomes unnecessarily more complicated and deliberately consumerist.

The R5 and R6 are good cameras and Canon has really caught up to the competition but it's not my direction.

The 5D Mark III is 2012, a century after 1912, my favorite year, in which I have been preparing a photo for a very long time.

What if Canon EF finally became a way of life.

“How small these rescued tides appear! Earthly delights flow in torrents. Each object offers paradise.”

― André Breton, The Magnetic Fields

The last light at Balian Beach.

The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat:

If you offer him pheasant he would rather have grouse.

If you put him in a house he would much prefer a flat,

If you put him in a flat then he'd rather have a house.

If you set him on a mouse then he only wants a rat,

If you set him on a rat then he'd rather chase a mouse.

Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat—

And there isn't any call for me to shout it:

For he will do

As he do do

And there's no doing anything about it!

The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore:

When you let him in, then he wants to be out;

He's always on the wrong side of every door,

And as soon as he's at home, then he'd like to get about.

He likes to lie in the bureau drawer,

But he makes such a fuss if he can't get out.

Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat—

And there isn't any use for you to doubt it:

For he will do

As he do do

And there's no doing anything about it!

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast:

His disobliging ways are a matter of habit.

If you offer him fish then he always wants a feast;

When there isn't any fish then he won't eat rabbit.

If you offer him cream then he sniffs and sneers,

For he only likes what he finds for himself;

So you'll catch him in it right up to the ears,

If you put it away on the larder shelf.

The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing,

The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle;

But he'll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing,

For there's nothing he enjoys like a horrible muddle.

Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat—

And there isn't any need for me to spout it:

For he will do

As he do do

And theres no doing anything about it! ~ ~ TS Eliot.

As some of you know. I have been without a camera for some time now... each time I would think I was going to choose that next baby. A financial obstacle would always get in the way.

Awhile ago... a fellow Flickr friend made an incredibly generous offer to give me his old camera to use. Free of charge, no strings attached... at the time, I had politely declined. The offer alone was enough to bring a tear to my eyes.

"You are a sweetie Brent"

I eventually decided to take him up on this wonderful offer... the camera arrived this past weekend. (and) I have a series of shots I did Sunday that I will post this week.

But first, I wanted to start my new Flickr life with a few photos featuring the camera itself... some of you may recognize it. Please check out his photostream. Brent and the rest of the gang in Winnipeg are quite special people.

As for my financial situation... things are much smoother now and I even have a camera I've been thinking about. But, right now, more than anything, I want to thank Brent for making it possible for me to get an early start on this.

"Hugs & kisses dear friend"

Snapping around with the mobile. Sweden really offer a great variation of marvelous situations and scapes. I don't have time for dsrl shooting and can´t wait for long exposures for scene like this one but it will be in the future. Last days in Sweden after having done lot of things before the move the 15th of June. You all understand that, at the moment, I only have time for this kind of photos and to say hi. Hope you are all doing well.

Edit 08/06: won't post so many pictures but I'll try to play catch up a bit...
