Carcassonne, France, cité médiévale inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco, s'est parée depuis 2018 de l’œuvre d'art éphémère produite par l'artiste Felice Varini.
La perception complète de ses 15 anneaux mesurant 400 metres de long ne peux se faire que devant la "Porte d’Aude" située au versant Ouest de la cité.
Carcassonne, France, a medieval city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been adorned since 2018 with the ephemeral work of art produced by the artist Felice Varini.
The complete perception of its 15 rings measuring 400 meters in length can only be done in front of the "Aude Gate" located on the western slope of the city.
And off he goes-like the wind, for a one-day old. I was surprised at how fast he could move even though his back legs weren't working very well yet.

Persistence
Arches National Park, Utah
Balanced Rock has always reminded me how temporary and fragile everything really is, yet how much strength stands in the quiet moments. I photographed this scene as the Milky Way drifted across the sky, lighting the night with that soft green airglow that shows up only when conditions are perfect.
This place holds a special meaning for me — a reminder that even the most delicate things can endure through time, weather, and every storm thrown at them. Sometimes that’s all any of us can hope for: to persist, to stand our ground, and to keep our balance when the world around us keeps shifting.

Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.
Thomas Carlyle
Tis the season for permanence, perseverance, and persistence ...the holidays are approaching like a freight train, straight for us....stay strong my peeps...stay strong!
( I am SO much more cut out for the 4th of July, on the beach with a blanket and a book or Halloween, awed by the creativity of the costumes that i see, than for the cold frenzy of the holiday season. It is hard for me to explain and hard for most everyone i know to understand...)
Don’t get me wrong...i love giving...it is the getting that i struggle with.. i do not enjoy the attention, It makes me uncomfortable to have to be in any form of spotlight, and “Thank you” never seems to be quite enough. I always feel like that is so inadequate for the gifts i get. i just want to see everyone else smile...and i just want not to be judged because i am the quiet one in the corner of the room taking in everything around me and leaving now and then to regroup and breathe...even if it is just to slip into the bathroom and lock the door and absorb the quiet that is there. I will cope...and come out the other side of the holiday frenzy intact.
For those of you that love all this...the hustle, the noise, the presents, the food, the craziness....Bless you all...please feel free to enjoy every last bit of mine, while i watch you from a quieter place and smile! That is my gift to me!
I've shot at this location more times than I care to remember. I like the composition but the conditions were never right in regards to the sky. All that changed today and I came home reasonably happy. Sunset at Gosforth, New South Wales. Australia.
Persistence and a bit of luck paying off as things finally come together. EZY1895 from Manchester to Berlin TXL cruising high above the country at 39.000ft.

"Persistence" - Exodus Fleet Mobile Construction Yard
Length: 105 studs
Number of parts: not a clue
This is where most vessels in the Exodus fleet are constructed and repaired. The mobile refinery supplies the construction yard with refined metal from nearby asteroids.
Currently a batch of fighters are loaded up for testing in the main hangar. In the mid ship construction dock a new Attack Frigate is under construction.
This is my SHIPtember SHIP for 2016. My goal was to use that big yellow Duplo part, and use some kind of lighting. The ship's interior is somewhat lit up by a EL-wire and the construction dock is lit by lifelites.
"Nothing in the world can take place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." Calvin Coolidge
My persistence paid off (and all of my bribes to the guards)! You never know if following age old rumors and stories will lead to an actual find, but this time they did. The Laird definitely was successful on the High Seas. Now to see if I can convince the estate to let me keep some of this, or at least donate it to the people that work in the castle.
So the second lesson learned from my House of Refuge shoot was persistence. I went with the intention of getting some great wave action and I chose this shot to show it. I pretty much stood near the edge getting splashed and soaked and I kept wiping the lens until I got something I liked. So I remained persistent and got a shot that I love. I actually learned one more thing at that moment... Bring a raincoat next time lol.
This black squirrel is persistently trying to get up the bird feeder pole. He made it once and I raised the baffle up a bit higher. I'm sure we will have fun trying new ways to discourage his scavenging.
We watched this sea otter for quite some time. He found several clams that he had a real tough time with. He would try to open some for a very long time - this is just a short clip of this persistent otter. He was well fed by the way!
Persistence pays off (sometimes!).....
Taken a couple of days ago during my most recent sunrise visit to Chalky Beach, NSW; Australia.
Living nearly 1 hour away from this location, I can't always rely on the accuracy of the weather forecasts or other apps such as Skippy Sky to give me the information as to how good a sunrise might be.
So I get up and leave home in the dark and wait before arrival hoping that I might have chanced a good sunrise - but this location seldom fails to reward anyway, as it has some amazing rock formations with wonderful textures and is relatively safe during most stages of tide!
As you can see, I managed to get some nice golden light at sunrise, and that teamed up with the Chalky rocks; I hope I have provided an image that appeals to you!!!
Helped by using my Lee .6 ProGlass ND + Lee .9 Hard Grad filers to counter exposures.
Have a fantastic day and week - thanks again for any comments, viewings or favorites - greatly appreciated as usual!!!
