One of favorite places in the badlands. I have been there enough times I no longer need a gps to find it.
That's a good thing, because both our gps go nuts in this area. They give you the direction, than in just seconds it reverses 180 degrees. I know that's hard to believe, but it happened. I have heard the more expensive gps don't have the problem.
If you have a problem, don't say it to "Anyone" because 20% of people don't care about it and the other 80% are glad you have it!!!

Só pra dizer que te Amo,
Nem sempre encontro o melhor termo,
Nem sempre escolho o melhor modo.
Devia ser como no cinema,
A língua inglesa fica sempre bem
E nunca atraiçoa ninguém.
O teu mundo está tão perto do meu
E o que digo está tão longe,
Como o mar está do céu.
Só pra dizer que te Amo
Não sei porquê este embaraço
Que mais parece que só te estimo.
E até nos momentos em que digo que não quero
E o que sinto por ti são coisas confusas
E até parece que estou a mentir,
As palavras custam a sair,
Não digo o que estou a sentir,
Digo o contrário do que estou a sentir.
O teu mundo está tão perto do meu
E o que digo está tão longe,
Como o mar está do céu.
E é tão difícil dizer amor,
É bem melhor dizê-lo a cantar.
Por isso esta noite, fiz esta canção,
Para resolver o meu problema de expressão,
Pra ficar mais perto, bem mais de perto.
Ficar mais perto, bem mais de perto.

Always wanted to do some splash shots. Problem was I had the room completely dark and was doing the lighting with flash reflected from white sheet only. So I opened the shutter and then tried to drop the ice cube into the glass (like fishing in the dark ;-) ). I also had to trigger my flash manually... Think I need some automated setup for this in future ;-)
hm I get thirsty when I look at it, how about you ;-)

I wanted to show the misery of the medieval times this time and so I did a salesman that struggles to survive... and eventually will fail...
You see the few wares he has and the desperation in his eyes.

The motorists stopped by this train should accept the fact that the old man isn't going to listen to any complaints!
This was the longest cut that I ever saw come out of the east end of Gibson Autorack Sort Facility. It must have been 200 cars and stretched from the east end, across 165th St, turned to parallel the NS at Osborn, blocked Osborn Street, and blocked 165th St. another time! One giant horseshoe of autoracks...all handled by a single IHB genset!

I just got back from shooting for a week in Los Angeles and have to say that the highlight of my trip was shooting industrial stuff down in Long Beach Harbor with Photographer David Sommars. David is an amazing photographer who regularly shoots industrial stuff around L.A. and he shared with me some of the most fantastic vantage points to shoot this sort of photography in Long Beach.
Unfortunately our photowalk around the Port of Long Beach was not without incident. Three times we were blinted while photographing. I've been stopped plenty of times while legally shooting in the past. Most of the times I've been able to be respectful but insistent on my legal rights to shoot wherever I'm shooting. Every so often though an incident turns into a more serious altercation.
The first two times Sommars and I were stopped we were stopped by private security agents working for Securitas on behalf of BP's Carson Refinery. They asked us not to shoot the refinery and suggested that it was a "double standard" that we'd insist on our constitutional rights to shoot in public while not honoring BP's request that we not shoot their facility from a public sidewalk. I couldn't quite get my arms around the "double standard" argument coming from BP. Ironically one of the shots that I took of their refinery was probably the largest United States flag I've ever shot. Let's hear it for Patriotism.
The hassle from BP's agents though didn't really bother me all that much. We were insistent on our rights to shoot the facility and they seemed to understand that in the end there was nothing that they could do about it. Their security guard snapped photos of both of us with his camera phone (and I returned the favor of course) and then they followed us when we left in my car in order to get my license plate, but they seemed to pretty clearly understand that while they were free to ask us not to shoot the plant, it was clearly within our rights to do so.
The more disturbing incident came later when we were atop a bridge, again on a public sidewalk, shooting another plant and long exposure bridge shots. Here we were stopped by real cops this time, rather than security guards. The cops in question were from the Long Beach Harbor Patrol. Their officer explained to us that it was his job to monitor the side of the bridge that we were on while L.A.P.D. had jurisdiction over the other side of the bridge.
Basically the conversation went something like this.
Long Beach Harbor Patrol Officer: "I'm going to have to ask you guys to leave."
Us: "But, why, were simply taking art photographs."
Long Beach Harbor Patrol Officer: "You're not allowed to photograph these plants."
Us: "But we're on a public sidewalk. What law doesn't allow us to photograph here?"
Long Beach Harbor Patrol Officer: "You'll need to come back tomorrow and get a permit if you want to shoot in the Harbor."
Me: "I'm only down in Long Beach for tonight and won't be able to do that."
2nd Long Beach Harbor Patrol Officer (shrugging her shoulders): Oh, well, you're just going to have to leave. Photography is not allowed here without a permit."
During this altercation both David and I were asked to present identification to the police. They used our IDs to run background checks on both of us.
Now personally I have no problem with the cops stopping to talk to us and check out what we were doing. I also had no problem with Securitas photographing me earlier or following me to get my license plate number. But I think that it went too far when the Long Beach Harbor Patrol ran background checks on us and I think it also went too far when they required us to leave our shoot location. As far as I'm aware there is no law which requires permits in order to shoot the Long Beach Harbor from a public sidewalk. And to kick us off of the bridge that we were legally on was not justified and violated our constitutional rights.
We repeatedly tried to argue for our right to shoot at this location for about a half an hour. The entire time the cops were insistent that we were not allowed to shoot there without a permit. David showed the cops in question photos of his on his iPhone in order to share the type of photography that we were after, but none of this seemed to matter. We were on their turf and they weren't going to stand for that. He just kept repeatedly bringing up 911 over and over telling us that we were going to need to leave.
What bothers me even more is that this is not the first time that David (who shoots in Long Beach Harbor more regularly than I do) has been harassed by the cops there. David has had lots of previous run ins there. David told me that he's been stopped about 10 times in the last six months while shooting in Long Beach Harbor. About half of those stops involved actual police in addition to security guards. On one occasion the cops actually handcuffed him and in another incident 4 police cars and a black SUV converged on him. He's also had FBI agents call on him over his photography. Personally I think it's wrong to handcuff peaceful photographers for the "crime" of photography while questioning and detaining.
I've contacted the media relations department at Long Beach Harbor regarding this incident but have yet to hear back from them. I'll post more from them once/if I do hear back.
What I am tired of though is the harassment that photographers face on a regular basis while out documenting our world. Photography is not a crime. 911 didn't suddenly magically turn photographers into criminals. And as long as photography is not a crime, I think that cops, security guards and other authority figures should be required to live within the legal system as it now stands. Maybe some day they will pass a law that shooting Long Beach Harbor is in fact a crime. Or maybe they'll actually pass a law that permits *are* actually required to shoot there. But until that day happens (and I'd be one vocally opposing any such rule like that) this sort of harassment ought not take place. And it's unfortunate when it does.
Update: Art Wong from the Port of Long Beach's Media Relations Department has contacted me and told me that he's asking their officers for information on this incident. I will post any update from the Port of Long Beach as it becomes available.

I had problems with the focus with this lens but have seem to have it resolved but too late to get any other good photos today. No wonder I like manual focus.
De sleep M6-rijtuigen van de 1883 had problemen met de deuren, zodat de trein niet kon vertrekken. Daarom konden we deze trein nog fotograferen op de perrons van het prachtige Antwerpen-Centraal.
Ook op donderdag 10 juli 2025 waren er problemen op de HSL-Zuid. In dit geval strandde er een Thalys/Eurostar op de HSL waardoor ruim 600 reizigers geëvacueerd moesten worden. De serie 1100 en de Eurocity-direct werden voor een groot deel van de dag omgeleid via het reguliere net . Aangezien het in de middag ook begon op te klaren spoorde ik richting de regio Dordrecht. De opname toont de 3305 in fraai Flow-design als trein 9551 naar Brussel terwijl op de achtergrond de 3315 naar Rotterdam zichtbaar is op 10 juli 2025 ter hoogte van Dordrecht.
Very pleased to have been asked to show some of my photos in this art magazine. Gracias Octavio.

Utrecht, 3 January 2021.
On 3rd January the SUNIJ tram line reopened between Utrecht and Nieuwegein after rebuilding work took place. The reopening was somewhat delayed due to a number of problems, but now the new CAF Urbos 100 trams can be seen speeding along the line on a daily basis.
Business gets complicated !!!
There are times when the most effective thing is to simplify things and that is what this seller does.
Same problem that I’ve had on previous low light pictures. Some devices (like my low cost Samsung galaxy) display details in black zones, like brush strokes that are not supposed to be seen. I still haven’t found a solution yet, so any help would be welcome !
Thanks for visiting !

Making a last cruise along the Blue Ridge Parkway after a day of shooting at Doughton Park last Saturday, the plan was to find a suitable composition for sunset photography. There was a problem, however. Smoke from the raging wildfires out west has become evident here in the east. An overwhelming pall had affected the sky, as well as the nose. So, photography shifted to highlight that.
I saw these ladies in tow along a fence as I drove by. It might have made a great image, though they huddled up when I approached for a vantage point, perhaps seeing me as a threat. Likely, the pervading smoke already had them on edge… they looked like linebackers protecting the quarterback. The “linebacker” closest to me gave every indication that she was going to rush me. I do have experience with cattle. An Angus cow once charged me as I was helping to load her onto a trailer. Gravity didn’t seem nearly as clingy in that moment as I managed to jump well clear of her, dropping a bag of silage in the process. That half-ton plus lump of bovine muscle went from seething killer maniac to ‘Let’s just enjoy a little snack break’ in an instant. In this moment, the fence between me and miss linebacker appeared as of little consequences, yet she eased up when I spoke gently to her as I managed a few shots of them. Their somewhat comical expressions are obvious here, but so is the smokey haze. This orange hue in the sky was as good as sunset was going be. Prayers up for those in harm’s way out west. Evidence this far away can only portend how bad it truly is.
These ladies are likely young Black Baldy cattle, a crossbred beef cattle obtained by crossing Hereford cattle with a solid black breed, typically Aberdeen Angus. They are a bit bigger than Angus, though they forage as well as Angus. That’s good, as you can see the ‘gridiron’ here is a bit on the rough side. They watched as we got back in the car, then ran alongside us until we accelerated past them. Rough field or not, they made hay of it… ha! I made a cow joke.
The problem was where to put the ice cream.
you can't just toss it into a trash can, it's a hot day, it'll melt, melting was the problem in the first place and now you've got melted ice cream in a trash can you're taking out your trash and there it is, you're not gonna clean it how the fuck do you even clean a trash can out's gotta come the hose and you gotta let it drain and fuck whoever left ice cream to melt in my trash can.
So we didn't want to do that, but do you put it on the grass or on the ground, it's biodegradable, sure, but it's a mess until all the earth's animals come out to take it away in teeny tiny bits and before all that you've got a mess.
And what if someone sees you just dumping ice cream on the ground?
So maybe the gutter, that was my idea, the gutter, just put it in the gutter, it'll wash away, we'll be fine, I'll whistle like we never did nothing and no worries it'll be like we never even had ice cream. What ice cream? What's ice cream? We're just two photographers out for a stroll, I don't know shit about no ice cream.
We have our laughs, Laura and I.
When Aron and Widogast (the monster hunter) met in the Golden Crown Inn in Rindael, Widogast made a deal with Aron (who is known to only go after dragons) to hunt a cockatrice, which is best described as a two-legged dragon, wyvern, or serpent-like creature with a rooster's head, so at least part of it was a dragon.
"Drinks on me when you bring me a cockatrice head." said Widogast.
"Only drinks?" asked Aron.
"Well, you may keep the bounty too." replied Widogast "or are you afraid of it?"
Aron: "No way, I'll get you that cockatrice head, I am not affraid of some chicken."
"Okay, deal, may luck be on your side then." said Widogast jokingly.
"Ha, where I'm going I don't need any luck." replied Aron.
A cockatrice was recently spotted on the border of Faldia and the Daelen near the Whispering Woods.
Aron's preparation included polishing his armor, and putting a special mirror coating on his shield. But when he finally reached the place where the creature was spotted, he couldn't believe his eyes, no report made mentions of the size of the beast. Trampling the fence near the path, the beast almost was the same height of a nearby tree.
"That dammed Widogast, he knew the size of that beast, I'm sure of it..." thought Aron. "Well, here I go..."

Château de Versailles, Versailles, France.
El Château de Versailles es un edificio que desempeñó las funciones de una residencia real en siglos pasados. El palacio está ubicado en el municipio de Versalles, cerca de París, en la región Isla de Francia. Su construcción fue ordenada por el rey Luis XIV, y constituye uno de los complejos arquitectónicos monárquicos más importantes de Europa. Con 7,3 millones de visitantes en 2012, es también uno de los sitios turísticos más importantes de Francia.
Con sus tres palacios, sus jardines y su parque, Versalles es un dominio inmenso. Si bien Luis XIII hizo edificar allí un pabellón de caza con un jardín, Luis XIV es su verdadero creador, ya que le dio su amplitud y determinó su destino.
Luis XIV dejó París y decidió construir Versalles como una pequeña ciudad alejada de los problemas. Tendría varias etapas constructivas, marcadas por las amantes de Luis XIV.
Primera etapa (1661-1668): Sería un palacete de caza al que se añadieron dos alas laterales que, al cerrarse, conformaron la plaza de armas. Son fachadas de ladrillo y unifica la cubierta usando también la pizarra y las mansardas.
Segunda etapa (1668-1678): Luis XIV pretende trasladar definitivamente la corte a Versalles. Se añaden las dos alas laterales para dar prioridad visual al jardín, realizado por André Le Nôtre. La fachada que da al jardín está construida siguiendo el modelo italiano. Un primer piso de sillares almohadillados. Un piso noble de doble altura con crujías retranqueadas, jugando con entrantes y salientes y alternando columnas y pilastras. Por último, un tercer piso que sería el ático, rematado por una serie de figuras escultóricas (trofeos y jarrones) que casi no dejan ver la caída de la cubierta, la cual no es muy inclinada. Llegaron a vivir en él hasta 20.000 personas.
Tercera y última etapa (1678-1692): En esta ampliación, realizada por Mansart, se construyó la capilla real en el Ala Norte del Palacio, a doble altura y con acceso directo a cota cero desde el exterior, estando la Tribuna Real situada en el piso principal, desde donde el rey y su familia asistían a la misa.
El jardín de Versalles es clasicista, ordenado, racionalizado. Con el paisajismo se obliga a la circulación. Crea una organización que relaciona todas las esculturas y fuentes y ensalza la monarquía. Las esculturas se señalan unas a otras. Progresiva civilización del jardín: muy ordenado, podado y cuidado en la zona próxima al palacio, y después se va asilvestrando, es decir que se hace más silvestre a medida que nos alejamos del palacio.
Tres siglos después de su creación, el dominio sigue siendo considerable pues cuenta con 800 hectáreas (originalmente eran unas 8 000 hectáreas), 20 km de caminos, 200 000 árboles, 35 km de canalizaciones, 11 hectáreas de techumbre, 2 153 ventanas y 67 escaleras.
El conjunto del palacio y parque de Versalles, incluyendo el Gran Trianón y el Pequeño Trianón, fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1979.
The Château de Versailles is a building that served as a royal residence in past centuries. The palace is located in the municipality of Versailles, near Paris, in the Isle of France. Its construction was ordered by King Louis XIV, and is one of the most important monarchical architectural complexes in Europe. With 7.3 million visitors in 2012, it is also one of the most important tourist sites in France.
With its three palaces, its gardens and its park, Versailles is an immense domain. Although Louis XIII built a hunting pavilion with a garden there, Louis XIV is its true creator, since it gave him his amplitude and determined his destiny.
Louis XIV left Paris and decided to build Versailles as a small city away from problems. It would have several constructive stages, marked by the lovers of Louis XIV.
First stage (1661-1668): It would be a hunting palace to which two side wings were added that, when closed, formed the parade ground. They are brick facades and unifies the roof using also the slate and the mansards.
Second stage (1668-1678): Louis XIV intends to definitively transfer the court to Versailles. The two lateral wings are added to give visual priority to the garden, made by André Le Nôtre. The facade that overlooks the garden is built following the Italian model. A first floor of ashlar pillows. A double height noble floor with recessed bays, playing with entrances and projections and alternating columns and pilasters. Finally, a third floor that would be the attic, topped by a series of sculptural figures (trophies and vases) that almost do not let see the fall of the roof, which is not very inclined. Up to 20,000 people lived there.
Third and last stage (1678-1692): In this extension, made by Mansart, the royal chapel was built in the North wing of the Palace, at double height and with direct access to level zero from the outside, with the Royal Tribune located in the main floor, from where the king and his family attended the mass.
The garden of Versailles is classicist, orderly, rationalized. With landscaping, circulation is forced. Create an organization that relates all the sculptures and sources and extols the monarchy. The sculptures point to each other. Progressive civilization of the garden: very orderly, pruned and cared for in the area near the palace, and then it goes wild, that is to say it becomes wilder as we move away from the palace.
Three centuries after its creation, the domain is still considerable because it has 800 hectares (originally were about 8,000 hectares), 20 km of roads, 200,000 trees, 35 km of pipelines, 11 hectares of roof, 2 153 windows and 67 stairs.
The palace and park complex of Versailles, including the Grand Trianon and the Little Trianon, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.
