Along the beach we found a small group of shorebirds manically combing through the surf, skillfully avoiding waves. Eastern populations such as this can migrate over 3000kms non-stop from Southern Canada or New England to South America.
The Semipalmated Sandpiper, one of two pipers with short webs between its toes, is an amazing little shorebird.
Passing trains on the hill up from Frere to Chieveley - a car train going down to Durban and 18-169 on the way up with a mix, including sugar and grain wagons (13th October 2012).
The passing out parade of a group of newly commissioned officers at Sandhurst. These are officers in the Territorial Army who have just marched past the commanding officer having taken the oath to accept their commissions. One of them (the soldiers) belongs to my daughter.
This is not a world I ever expected to come into contact with, let alone have the opportunity to photograph at Sandhurst. It was an amazing day.
At the bottom of the hill passing the LCC tramway substation and Lathom school just as the children arrive.
Watching a roundabout to fill in some time.
I used an ND400 filter to get the effect and I blended a few different exposures, picking the best parts of each.
Look closely on the roundabout and you'll see the individual characters which I popped through from a short exposure.
View on black here to see the details.

Another Great Blue Heron but very backlit... This guy was in glide mode as it banked around me and never flapped its wings once until it came in for the big landing.

Mirfield
Freighliner Class 66 66518 passes the housing estate that was once Mirfield mpd with a Roxby (nearScunthorpe) - Bredbury (Manchester) binliner train
Café society in La Rochelle. It was November, cold and occasionally wet, but still there is time to watch people pass by - although this chap appears to have his mind on other things.
D&RGW #463 hauls a special move of MOW equipment eastbound past the lone pine known as "Jukes' Tree." The move seen here was made to reposition equipment for a Maintenance of Way Photo Charter organized by the Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. The key piece in this morning's train is Derrick OP, a sort of narrow gauge wrecking crane that was fashioned by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad back in 1911 out of a high-side gondola. Although she is steam-powered, Derrick OP does not have her own boiler and must rely on a steam feed from the locomotive used to move her into position for operation.
The infamous "Jukes' Tree" is named for noted railroad photographer Mark "Fred" Jukes, whose early 20th century photos of D&RG Cumbres Turns from this location are legendary. The tree was missing a lot of branches in Fred's photos and looks much the worse for wear over 100 years later. I have a couple of coffee table books in my living room containing images shot by Mr. Jukes, and there is even one very cool image taken by someone else, depicting Fred with his camera shooting a 3-engine freight at this location. When he was a very old man in the 1960s, I wonder if he could have ever envisioned that steam-powered trains would still be passing "his" tree, more than 100 years after he took the photos that made him famous.
In 2022, I returned to Colombia. The main purpose of this trip was to explore the Amazonian rainforest areas near Leticia and then on the Rio Negro. In 2007 I was in the Leticia area on a volunteering project and the 2022 trip gave me the chance to see more of the area.
As these are border areas, with the rivers travelled actually being the borders, I also visited / transitted through Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. I will create one master set / album for the entire six week trip, plus separate country albums to help viewers who are interested only in a specific country.
I also spent time in Bogota and in the Boyaca region. Overall intinerary: London - Leticia - Bogota - Villavincenzio - Rio Negro - Puerto Inirida - Bogota (incl Nemocon) - Villa de Leyva - Tunja - Bogota - London.
Tonight was the grand opening party/concert for the new CSquare plaza in East Village... The music was excellent, certainly should be an interesting plaza... And yes it is right next to the C-Train line...
A pop up news stand in Hong Kong attracts the attention of a passer by.
There are many of these stores on the streets of Hong Kong,and many other points where free newspapers were being distributes in large numbers by well organised teams.
Thanks for taking the time to visit
THE WINTER OF MY LIFE
You know. . . Time has a way of moving quickly
And catching you unaware of the passing years.
It seems just yesterday that I was young,
Just married and embarking on my new life with my mate.
And yet in a way, it seems like eons ago,
And I wonder where all the years went.
I know that I lived them all...
And I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams...
But, here it is... The winter of my life and it catches me by surprise...
How did I get here so fast?
Where did the years go and where did my youth go?
I remember well...
Seeing older people through the years and thinking that those
Older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off
That I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like...
But, here it is...
My friends are retired and getting grey...
They move slower and I see an older person now.
Some are in better and some worse shape than me...
But, I see the great change...
Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...
But, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those
Older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be.
Each day now,
I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day!
And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory!
'Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!
And so, now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared
For all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability
To go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!!
Yes, I have regrets.
There are things I wish I hadn't done...
Things I should have done, but indeed,
There are many things I'm happy to have done.
It's all in a lifetime...
So, if you're not in your winter yet...
Let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think.
Whatever you would like to accomplish in your life,
please do it quickly!
Don't put things off too long!!
Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today,
As you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not!
You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...
So, live for today and
say all the things you want your loved ones to remember...
And hope they appreciate and love you for all the things
You have done for them in all the years past!!
Life is a gift to you.
The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after.
Make it a fantastic one.
~ And, Remember ~
"It is health that is real wealth
And not pieces of gold or silver."

In the last shot we passed Patterson and now we've passed Newark. Where are we, New Jersey? I knew we should we have took that left turn at Albuquerque!
(but most important: water - salt water - San Francisco Bay!)

I snapped this boatman in a passing boat. I loved the texture and color of the boat and the effortless look on the boatman's face as he rowed easily through the river. Sony A7R3 300mm 1/800@f5.6 ISO5000

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
