William Charles Kloefkorn (1932-2011) / Leon James Satterfield (1934-2011) ... co-founders of the brotherhood of Loup River runners, more commonly known as the LREF. Leon, the scholar and master satirist, and author of the series, "The Truth, Mainly." Bill, long-time Nebraska State Poet and author of thirty-one books of poetry. Both retired from Nebraska Wesleyan University. Both husbands, fathers, professors, friends, and mentors. Both passing within a moon of each other...too much.
I knew as soon as I processed this image, made from the 2009 LREF voyage, that this would be for Bill. Reminds me of his long white hair blowing in the wind, whether windy or no. (Two-image pan.)
From one of Bill's poems, The Shoe:
I am the shoe I threw away last summer, man,
on the river, man, man floating
in a jonboat in a current of the Loup, man,
man who in a burst of anger
or maybe deep delight
tossed the shoe into the channel, man,
man who thought he'd never see the shoe
again, man, man with one shoe on,
one shoe off, man, O I am the shoe
I threw away last summer, man,
man drifting now wherever
those tides of fortune and misfortune
take me, man, I am that ...
(from Loup River Psalter, 2001)

Dobwalls was a theme park 7 1/4" miniature railway that opened in 1971 and closed it's doors in 2006 for redevelopment that never happened. I, like many others, have fond memories of the place, and miss it very much. This place is why I like the 7 1/4" gauge as much as I do. These pictures were snapped in 2004, 2 years before Dobwalls closed down.

A truly superb model of the doomed liner Titanic. She rammed an Iceberg every hour on the hour at Brighton Modelworld this year.
My wife and I were wandering around east of Dufur where I shot this. The tilt-shift effect was unintended, but it works here pretty well. The line is neat and I like the way it carries you through the composition to the blue hills on the horizon. Kind of fun and I thought it was worth posting. Thanks for looking in!
A Ryanair Boeing 737-800 streaks past the window of Austrian Airlines Airbus A320-200 OE-LBV en route from Vienna to London Heathrow. In the few minutes before I decided to get my camera down from the overhead lockers I'd already seen an EasyJet Airbus A319 and an Asiana Boeing 747...

Passing of Knowledge
The Passing of Knowledge sculpture (2003) by local sculptor Victor Tan Wee Tar was presented by the Rotary Club of Singapore. The sculpture depicts his interpretation of the 4-Way Test, a philosophy embraced by Rotarians worldwide.
The 4-Way Test:
Of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
