It is hard not to gaze at a sunset yet pausing to look too long will cause an effect on your senses , even make you ....grateful !
Archive: I had called to Bijan - "lunchtime, sweetie-pie!" and he came up the slope, then settled on the very edge, for a little rest and "conversation" before going for the food.
He was awfully proud of himself, fluffed up in his finest winter wardrobe.
Sometimes you just need to stop, take it all in, and appreciate what's in front of you... beautiful.
Another of my favorite photos from a shoot I did a few months ago with my husband, he's such a good sport.
He thinks I'm a little over-exuberant with the hobby, but he doesn't say much!
A lot of the pics came out really well though, I'm happy with them.
Overlooking a foggy & frosty #Chester morning. With a very full & angry river Dee flowing fast through it. Love the light, Love the day.

Madagascar - L’homme situé à gauche a eu le droit à un paquet entier de cigarettes. Il m’a autorisé à photographier la poudre d’or récoltée la veille. www.flickr.com/photos/156294418@N02/51058083637/in/album-...
0,3 gramme de poussière d’or après 10 heures à creuser et laver les entrailles de la terre.
La poudre sera vendu à un collecteur venu d’Ambositra qui lui achètera pour 25,50 euros. Il aurait pu vendre son « trésor » plus d’une trentaine d’euros s’il s’était déplacé à la ville distante d’une quarantaine de kilomètres, mais les risques de se faire voler par des brigands sont une réalité. Le colporteurs, lui, se déplace avec un garde du corps armé et ne prend pas les transports en commun.
En attendant le collecteur, l’homme a décidé de ne pas travailler. La somme qu’il va récupérer lui permettra de rester oisif un certain temps, tout en achetant un sac de riz pour nourrir sa famille. A moins qu’il ne perde tout au jeu.
Madagascar - The man on the left was given a whole pack of cigarettes. He allowed me to photograph the gold powder collected the day before www.flickr.com/photos/156294418@N02/51058083637/in/album-...
0.3 grams of gold dust after 10 hours of digging and washing the bowels of the earth.
The powder will be sold to a peddler from Ambositra who will buy it for 25.50 euros. He could have sold his “treasure” for more than thirty euros if he had traveled to the town about forty kilometers away, but the risks of being robbed by bandits are a reality. The peddler travels with an armed bodyguard and does not take public transport.
While waiting for the peddler, the man decided not to work. The amount he will recover will allow him to remain idle for a while, while buying a bag of rice to feed his family. Unless he loses everything at gambling.

these Seattle back alleys have a specific life of their own. very dirty in some areas, they can also be extremely beautiful in others. for example on the right side of the silhouette there is a piece of wall popping out, with, on it, two old small buckets of paint. a red one and a white one. i don't know why i didn't try to catch a shot of this detail. probably because i was not wanting to disturb the cigarette pause of this guy.
I again caught up with this empty limestone train I'd shot earlier day and hoped they would head down to the docks but alas they never did before I had to depart. I did, however, catch them pulling down the southbound in some dramatic storm light at the south end of the big former Missabe Proctor Yard. The train of 70 yr old DMIR ore hoppers is led by a pair of rebuilt SD40-3 tunnel motors BLE 903 and DMIR 408 bracketing SD40-2 IC 6261 all in CN dress.
They are paused at about MP 7.5 on the Missabe Sub, modern day CN's designation for the route paying homage to the historic former Duluth, Missabe and Northern Railroad which was incorporated in 1891, ran its first train in 1892 and built into Duluth proper in 1893. In 1938 the road was merged into the Duluth and Iron Range both long owned by US Steel to officially create the legendary Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway.

"The loner is someone called upon to make one of the most terrible decisions a man can choose: the decision to be in complete disagreement with those who imagine themselves to be called to amusement and self-deception the voice of truth, and appeal to full authority ade of your own prejudices to prove it.
The loner is therefore returned to sweating blood in terrible agony in order to remain loyal to God, to the Mystic Body of Christ and to all mankind, preferring to adhere to the idol a particular group offers him as worthy of his homage ns. You must give up the consolation of every illusion comforter, which would absolve you of responsibility when you have become unfaithful to what is deeper and truest in you - the image of God in your soul.
The price of fidelity, in such task, is total and consecrated humility—a stripped heart in which self-assertment has no place. For, if the solitary is not stripped and undivided in the most intimate recess of the soul, he will be nothing but an individualist.
In that case, their non-conformity would be nothing more than an act of rebellion; the substitution of idols and illusions of their own choosing for those of society. And that, of course, is the greatest danger. And pointless and insane at the same time. It only leads to ruin. "
-Thomas Merton, "Open Questions", Act 1963, p. 205-206.
