I have been taking images of this tree in all seasons for several years - Each time I arrive I hold my breath in hopes that it will remain standing - each year more and more people visit this park and with that there is that much more foot traffic and shenanigans - People hand off of it, they stomp on the bottom branches and even with all that abuse IT hangs on! here's to tenacity and perserverence!!

'This roadtrip is going to be great!', they had said.
Well, here I was, driving down a seemingly endless road in Kansas, and had been doing so for over two hours. I could hardly remember the last time I touched the wheel - this road just kept going straight ahead with not even the slightest hint of a curve. The scenery was no better and could be summed up in one word: plains. Green, flat, never-ending plains. Sure, ahead you had the majestic outline of the Rockies, and yes, it seemed to be pretty close. But it had already seemed close two hours ago. Like a mirage, taunting you with the promise of something better just to remain out of reach, and at this point I had stopped hoping.
Behind me, eight of my travel companions were all snoozing. Odd, since it was only mid-afternoon, but it seemed this environment had a sedative effect on everyone, not just me. Next to me sat my designated map reader who was the only reason I had not yet gone crazy. There was obviously no map reading to be done. Here there was only one direction: straight ahead. To his credit, he had instead taken it upon himself to keep me occupied and we had had some pretty interesting conversations. Ultimately though, even he had been reduced to just sitting there staring blindly into the distance. We were two friends suffering together in this seemingly static nightmare.
But wait! Surely the mountians were closer now? And we could even spot some of the hills coming up. This was it! It had to be! Yes, the road started to bend, and soon we found ourselves cruising through the foothills! The road flowing with the terrain around it - something new to see around every corner. And trees! Glorious trees!
I looked over at my fellow companion with a smile and he was smiling too. Finally we had some enjoyable driving ahead of us! Our perserverence had paid off!
- 'Good job Emil' I heard a voice from the back. 'Pull over as soon as you can and we'll switch drivers'.
It seemed I was destined to enjoy the foothills through a heavily tinted window in the back of an overcrowded van instead of having the pleasure of driving through this wonderful landscape.
This was from a road trip I took in university with some friends, and although perhaps a bit exaggerated here, the road through Kansas into Colorado is certainly not the most exciting driving to be had ;) Boring driving aside, the trip was loads of fun and I would love to go back with the family some time. But yeah, I'm a trees and mountains kinda guy, and open landscapes, though pretty in its own way, is not where I feel at home. Trees please!

Mars baby!
This was my first successful dance costume that I made for a showcase in 2006.
It was a daunting project for a costuming virgin... It took almost all of my spare time over a month to finish this and another dress for Rumba dance. It was endless cutting, sewing, pressing, ripping-apart, resewing, repressing... especially for the miles and miles of circular ruffles. I still couldn't believe that I had the perserverence to pull through this complicated and boring construction process...
But the end result paid it all off, it was a hit. It gets a lot of ohs and wows every time it makes an appearance. I would probably simplify some of the designs and choose better fabrics now that I have more experience, but this is nontheless a memorable piece.

We are fortunate to have rainbow lorikeets visit our property numerous times on an almost daily basis.
They particularly love to feed on the grevilleas during the warm light of the late afternoon or early evening.
Capturing a clean image of highly active rainbow lorikeets is particularly challenging, but with this image, after many attempts, I captured a pleasing image of one of these stunning birds when it was perched high and away from the foliage.
With bird photography, it is not only a matter of being in the right place at the right time with the right equipment, but it is also a matter of patience and perserverence.

~ Anne of Green Gables
32/365
One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies of all time. I grew up watching Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea. The heroine in this series is an orphan girl name Anne Shirley. I just love her unyielding spirit, her wit and intellect, her perserverence and determination, and her outlook on life ;). "Tomorrow is always fresh...with no mistakes in it".

With the wonderful support of Eslie Basson of Fujifilm South Africa, I was able to give some photogrphy classes to pupils at a Winter School arranged by the amazing NGO, Ikamvayouth. It was the first time that these youngsters had experienced the joy of using a camera. They mostly live in 'informal settlements' or 'favelas' and seek out every available educational opportunity. My profound thanks to Eslie Basson and Fujifilm whose corporate social responsibility in South Africa has been extraordinary and exemplary, and to the selfless folk who run Ikamvayouth. ikamvayouth.org/
The classes took place in, among other venues, schools made of ships' containers and located in Ebony Park and Ivory Park- vast, sprawling shantytowns on the north-eastern outskirts of the giant, greater Johannesburg megalopolis. Ikamvayouth has made a huge difference to the lives of innumerable youngsters, providing them with mathematics and science education and thus enabling them to enter universities and other institutions of higher learning. Undoing the immeasurable damage of Apartheid remains, in South Africa, a daunting task.
One takes huge pleasure in experiencing the passion and enthusiasm that these talented and gifted youngsters display when leaving with their little SD cards with their first photos! They are the essence of our potentially gilded future! :-) :-)

I am not the photographer of the original picture of this car. Perhaps I should not even be posting this due to potential copyright infringement issues but as you see, I am anyway. Should I receive notice of copyright infringement I will remove the image.
I would describe this image a “pseudo faux watercolor” effect ………. meaning it is basically a putrid attempt at creating a painterly appearance.
The Car
This is a 'recreation' of Harry Miller's '31 Miller/Offenhauser race car.
The V16 raced at Indy in 1931 and 1932 in its original configuration, as it is today. Thereafter, with modified engines, chassis, and bodies it continued to race at Indy in 1933, 1935, 1936, 1937 and many other races in between. By the time it was last run, in the last '50s, it was virtually unrecognizable as a Miller, let alone it being the V16.
The story of the V16's re-combination of its original parts is nearly legendary and well described by Joe Freeman as, "...the old Miller that was truly magically fated to come back together". Equally legendary is the effort, perserverence, and attention to detail that Chuck Davis demonstrated in his quest to restore the fabled car.
So many elements are unique to this car that it was unbelievable to discover original parts scattered around the country, including the original body, original axles, original front suspension, original transmission, the majority of the engine, original Miller patterns from which missing parts could be re-cast, and original drawings to help re-assemble the parts. Miller had designed unique carburetors for the engine and only one remained, at the Indy Museum. A complete carb set was re-made from this original, twice, after the first set was stolen. Untold other necessary parts were either found or remade from the Miller plans. Finally, after fourteen years of non-stop research and digging, the complete collection of bits and pieces was given to Dave Hentschel to reassemble. In 1993, sixty-one years after it last ran in its original form, the Miller V16 reappeared at the Millers-at-Monterey Historics.

Walking up and down the Sunset Cliffs in San Diego really makes you question the wisdom of living in Minneapolis. There are surfers and beautiful ocean scenery all around you. In the midst of everything was this one amazing huge rock that has stood its ground against centuries (not that I'm any geologist) of being pounded by the ocean. So for a brief moment, I stopped and photographed it. Then back to watching surfers, they looked like they were having so much fun.

Portals of the Past , Golden Gate Park
"The Portals of the Past is an unusual little monument at Golden Gate Park. Standing on the shores of Lloyd Lake (just to the west of the DeYoung Museum), these columns actually have an interesting history. During the big earthquake and fire of 1906, most of Nob Hill was flattened by the destruction. However somehow, the entranceway to the mansion of A.N. Towne managed to remain standing. It was later removed and brought over to Golden Gate Park, where it still stands today, as a symbol of the perserverence of San Francisco... working towards an optimistic future, regardless of the tragedy of the past."

We were taking the wildlife tour bus into Denali National Park and about 16.6 miles from the visitor center we passed this couple. The pedestrian was obviously there for companionship and moral support. I don't believe there was any other way they could have gotten this far other than wheeling/walking as personal vehicles are not allowed past the visitor center.
We saw them several hours later and several miles further when we were leaving the Park. They won my personal award for grit and perserverence.
Fortunately, the weather was beautiful and warm.
I had tried this same shot at the end of May and at the last minute the sun disappeared.
Some weeks later another attempt of a shot in the sun and my perserverence paid off!
