Peter had a go at photographing an illuminated tram, at night and in black & white, luckily however he chose "Progress" as his subject, a rare tram indeed.
Progress took to the rails in 1937, the design was changed over the years, it was never the same two seasons running. Designs included a large clock, a town crier, a large reproduction of the tower and as seen here an elaborate crown was added in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The tram was withdrawn in 1958.

Making progress with the wooden Dolls House. Today's job is making and installing the roof tiles - there are so many of them to do!
Week 4
Would like to update everyone as to what is going on and once again thank everyone for you warm thought, prayers and support over the past days!! A huge step forward was taken today and it was a most rewarding day!! We went from barely being able to sit up on the edge of the bed with a constant help from two nurses on Friday night to Georgia being able to get out of bed by herself this morning and standing up!! She was able to take tiny dance steps and sit in a wheelchair and make a break from the confines of a hospital bed today! They evaluated her thoroughly and now have a baseline to work from for the coming days of a very aggressive routine!! It's the best to do things after a stroke as the first 90 days following a stroke is where most of the gains are made!! I only wish that I had time to check out photos and such but long hours at the hospital don't permit much free time!! I left my daughter in charge while I went shopping for some workout clothes for Georgia and just got away from the long hours!!
These are archive photos and there is no need for comments! I am positing these merely to keep everyone informed about the progress and where we stand!! Wishing everyone a wonderful day!! Peace and blessings to all!!

Le foto non si spiegano, si gustano... e ne sono convinto.
Ognuno di noi la spiegazione ad uno scatto la trova dentro di se, ognuno di noi se lo personalizza in maniera intima, ed è questo processo che ci fa emozionare o meno davanti ad una foto.
Stavolta però voglio spiegare perché questa foto mi piace:
E’ una foto divisa in 4 parti ben distinte, e tutte e quattro descrivono la contrapposizione fra natura e progresso.
A sinistra c’è un monte, con la sua vegetazione selvaggia, libera, scomposta, che si contrappone alla schiera di villette ordinate che si trova invece sulla destra.
E' la natura che si contrappone al progresso.
La natura è più scura, in ombra, quasi in secondo piano, le case invece più chiare, scintillanti illuminate dal sole.
Lo stessa contrapposizione la troviamo guardando la foto dall’alto verso il basso:
In alto le barche di legno, quelle di una volta, quelle naturali, accatastate in file quasi scomposte, in basso invece le macchine moderne, tutte schierate in file ordinate, con gli spazi disegnati ed obbligati dalle righe bianche, e poi ancora più sotto le corsie d’approdo dei motoscafi (obbligate anche quelle), il molo turistico.
A fare da filo conduttore alla foto c’è la strada, che non si interrompe mai ma a sinistra, nella parte “naturale” della foto è sterrata, a destra invece nella parte progressista è asfaltata.
E poi la ciliegina sulla torta…La cornice. La cornice non poteva essere che lo splendido fondale del golfo dell’Enfola.
Ed io l’Enfola la vedo cosi’… un posto dove regna la contrapposizione fra natura e progresso, e questa foto si.. mi piace!
progress on the winter cross quilt top! all those crosses have been sewn together finally! since the squares for the cross blocks were so small, there was a lot of seam shrinkage, so the quilt top isn't all that large. i'm planning to add some borders to it to make it bed-sized, i just haven't decided yet on what kind of borders + what fabrics to use, since i am pretty much out of these fabrics now--and i *rarely* buy the same fabric twice.
really, really happy with the top so far, though! and even REALLIER happy that all those crosses are finally crossed!
Encore un départ de cargo, le Progress russe, mais avec une nouveauté de taille : accroché au véhicule, un petit bout de station est carrément parti en même temps, et ce n’est pas tous les jours que ça arrive ! C’était le module DC1, qui nous a quitté après vingt ans de bons et loyaux services. 👋 On a penché la Station de 90° pour faciliter l’opération. Quelques heures après, on était aux premières loges pour observer le finish en ☄️ (destruction du véhicule en rentrant dans l’atmosphère, brûlé sous l’effet de la friction).
So long DC1! 👋 After almost twenty years of service, instead of getting a medal , one of the Space Station's oldest modules got a little trip through the atmosphere. Check these pics: it’s not every day that you see a piece of the Station being taken away. We pitched the International Space Station 90 degrees, and so we flew belly first, to help out with the manoeuver. Pyotr and myself tried to capture some photos and videos of this important moment in the Station's history. Quite a strange feeling to see a part of your ship fly away in mid-air (so to speak – no atmosphere here duh). A couple of hours later and we had front row seat to the fireball that was going to be DC1’s last act. 🌠We clearly saw smaller pieces float away from the main fireworks, as the ship was being destructed by the heat of atmospheric friction. Quite the show!

So cool to watch Progress ride into orbit today...right beneath us! Docking Saturday night to the International Space Station.

This is a view from the rear. The roofing is complete but I'll cover that in more detail in a future post. The entire rear wall of this section slides up and out to reveal the interior.

This looks like the main structure of building C is getting close to its maximum height. The only section of naked rebar looks like it will be the home to elevator machinery.
I figured I might as well do something with this sketch. It was originally supposed to be entered into PUDDLE's contest uh.... in 2011. I kind of didn't have time to finish it.
I have no idea what direction I'm going for. o_o; I need to learn to plan before I start inking. I'm so impatient. >_<;
Progress equals change and changes demand to give up a cozy seat. When we alter, we shift away from the known, the familiar and the secure. We decide to leave behind a part of life which shaped us to this point. But while this farewell still hurts and confuse us, we may enjoy the beautiful opportunity on our way to discover the possibilities which the new has to offer.

[...] Progress has not followed a straight ascending line, but a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression, of evolution and dissolution [...]

In Progress...here is the start of a collaboration project with Brian Yap. I shoot very classic/painterly portrait + he paints/illustrates over it = hopefully cool stuff. We've talked about it for a while, finally getting to it. Will be a part of the Famous Fictional Show (art based on song lyrics and poetry) at Mad Art Gallery on November 5th. Details at www.madart.com
Needless to say I quickly got pretty burned out by this project. There are a lot of restriction when it comes to building in digital, especially when setting roof angles. Note that these designs are not final and will most likely change a lot.
Illusions of Progress is inspired by the feeling of being not quite sure if your efforts are paying off.
From the technical standpoint, there is nothing “correct” about this picture. Nothing is in proper focus, it’s crooked, and the guy on the far left is cut off through his eye. But, of my photos that make use of this composition, I think Illusions of Progress is one of the most successful.
