love the way you love me on purpose
How something in your eyes say I deserve this
I'm so used to settling for surface
But you love me like I'm somebody that's worth it
There's nothing accidental here, I'm learning
That all along, my love wasn't a burden
Now it's in the hands of the right person
And you show me how you love me on purpose
Die Brenner-Schnellzüge 286/87, 83/82 sowie 86/287 sind bisher die einzigen Leistungen, bei denen ÖBB Vectrons planmäßig im Reisezugverkehr zum Einsatz kommen. Hierfür sind ausschließlich die 1293 047 bis 051 vorgesehen. Letztgenannte konnte ich am 17. November 2024 vor RJ 87 von München HBF nach Bologna Centrale bei Niederaudorf im Inntal fotografieren. Kurz danach verschwand die Sonne hinter einem Bergrücken.
The Brenner express trains 286/87, 83/82 and 86/287 are so far the only services for which ÖBB Vectrons are used in regular passenger train services. Only the 1293 047 to 051 are designated for this purpose. I was able to photograph the latter on 17 November 2024 in front of RJ 87 from Munich main station to Bologna Centrale near Niederaudorf in the Inn Valley. Shortly afterwards, the sun disappeared behind a mountain ridge.

A shot from recently concluded national day celebrations of Qatar
Qatar National Day takes place every year on Dec. 18.
It marks the day in 1878 that Sheikh Jassim Bin Mohammad Bin Thani succeeded his father as leader of the tribes of Qatar.
Fighting for independence from the Ottomans, the British and other Arabian Peninsula tribes, Sheikh Jassim is considered the founder of Qatar for unifying oft-divided local tribes under his leadership, and winning autonomy for them.

After a beautiful sunset out by the Peter Iredale, I dashed with intent and purpose toward the spot where I previously shot this. I took that picture with what Canon decides to grace us suckers with as a kit lens, and it's a bit soft and grainy as a result. So here we go again.
The weather has been beautiful, so the Saturday night sky was a glorious dark blue/purple. Very different from the dark, misty night I previously shot on. This is also a two-minute exposure as opposed to a 30-second, giving my "spaghetti" a much thicker consistency. I'm very pleased with the clarity, and I had a great time trying to find this spot again (after weaving all over the top of the hill yet again--I should really write that street down).

She rises not as art, but as testimony.
Strength flows where His Spirit moves, and purpose awakens where faith remains. What God forms, He empowers. What He calls, He brings to life.
the purpose of creating this wave was to make a very straight path more interesting.... also to reduce the size of the flower bed...
The snow and rain on granite rock erodes the thin soil from top to bottom... the path does not remain flat... walking along it is like being on a yacht... the wave idea made me laugh...
Perhaps you can see the three pumpkins... and further along the rose bed...

Although the purpose of my trip was for reasons having nothing to do with the port, it was a very pleasant surprise, as it was in walking distance from where I was staying.
I was able to spend a little time there on a few of the mornings and late afternoons, and as usual, I found that there is never enough time...

Teilhard says we can further God’s project not only by our activities but also by how we deal with daily passivities of diminishment as well as those endured while suffering and dying. What does Jesus do with the energy he spends in suffering physical pain, emotional rejection, and spiritual pain? What is its purpose? Is it purely a waste? Can the energy spent enduring these things be used to benefit the growth of the kingdom of God? Teilhard answers yes.1 That is what Jesus teaches us on the cross. The energy being spent in enduring passivities, just as the energy being spent in performing activities, may be directed to energize God’s project by one’s intention. In the kingdom, no energy need be wasted. Even the energy endured in unwelcome passivities may be directed to contribute to God’s project. Teilhard sees Jesus doing precisely this. God’s will is always to promote the growth of the kingdom. Jesus’s prayer is, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on Earth….” This is the meaning of all martyrdom. One willingly undergoes martyrdom to help the growth of God’s kingdom, not merely to save one’s soul. In Teilhard’s terminology, one acts and does good deeds to help accomplish God’s work on Earth by one’s activities of growth. One transforms suffering and passivities to help accomplish God’s work on Earth by one’s activities of growth. One dies—a passivity—to help accomplish God’s work on Earth by turning it into an activity of growth.

Yes ,I agree that one can find beauty even in the ugliest things but this doesn't mean that we need to focus only on them. Many "fellow photographers and artists" prefer to show only this ugly kind of beauty and they call it a style . Some others are using "artistic" ways to kill innocence and joy just because they have been taught that making everything to appear meaningless and dirty is "cool." Art is not only to provoke. Propaganda art has very often served the dark side. Provocation always serves a purpose and spreading negativity with the excuse of making art seems very suspicious. I am not able to judge the photographic skills of a person but I can tell if a photo causes me heavy feelings and if it helps evil to be spread. We need to be very carefull with what we post and what we fav, always taking in consideration the impact that they may have on a fresh untouched soul...

Cracks appear on the surface and, exposed, the fingers of God reach in. Then the light shines and gives meaning to life, and that life rejoices in the knowledge that there is more to this than we first thought. We have meaning and we have purpose.

Kenting National Park was Taiwan's first national park. In 1977, for the purpose of alleviating environmental damage caused by farming and building in Kenting area, late president (then premier) Chiang Jing-Guo instructed that "preservation of natural resources and the ecosystem must be taken into consideration during construction practices; plans should be made to establish a national park in Kenting area".
Dazzling bright sunshine, azure blue seawater, clean shining sand beach…, This is Taiwan’s first national park－Kenting, renowned for its rich landscape of hills and water, abundant life, and natural resources for everyone’s enjoyment.
Kenting National Park is located at the southern tip of Taiwan. With warm climate, pleasant scenery, and easy access, it is one of the most popular resorts, attracting millions of both domestic and foreign tourists every year.
墾丁國家公園成立於1984年1月，是我國第一座成立的國家公園，三面臨海，為我國少數同時涵蓋陸域與海域的國家公園之一，海域面積15206.09公頃、陸域面積18083.50公頃，合計共33,289.59公頃。由於百萬年來地殼運動不斷的作用，陸地與海洋彼此交蝕影響，造就了本區高位珊瑚礁、海蝕地形、崩崖地形等奇特的地理景觀。特殊的海陸位置加上熱帶氣候的催化，此孕育出豐富多變的生態樣貌，海岸林帶的植物群落尤其特殊罕見，每年還有大批候鳥自北方飛來過冬，數量之多蔚為奇觀；海底的珊瑚景觀更是繽紛絢麗，為墾丁國家公園妝點出卓絕風貌。
從下水堀至萬里桐沿途海水蔚藍清澈，海底景觀美麗，已劃為海域生態保護區。海底地形富於變化，巨大礁石林立，間有深溝及裂谷，形成懸崖絕壁、峽谷隧道等奇特景觀。全區遍布生長良好的各類石軟珊瑚、成叢的海扇、海柳及群游的珊瑚礁魚類等，此外各種貝類及海百合、海藤等分佈亦多。從萬里桐至蟳廣嘴間之海域，已劃為海底公園預定區，淺處為平緩斜坡，各種形狀之石珊瑚生長密集，且種類之多，是恆春半島沿海石珊瑚生物相最豐富的地區之一。水深10公尺以下，則地形富變化，波浪侵蝕作用和礁石崩落造成的各種地形景觀，如：石洞、石穴、拱門、礁石丘........等均可發現，礁石表面大部份為生長稠密的石珊瑚類所覆蓋，且有形形色色的珊瑚礁魚類悠游及貝類、海百合、海星等點綴其間，景觀優美。 本處計畫鼓勵民資於萬里桐設立海底展望台、水族館等，以及開闢玻璃底遊艇航線，提供遊客一飽水晶宮綺麗世界的眼福。蟳廣嘴之外海，民間已設有定置漁網，亦為一發展「產業觀光」的良好地區。

Who goes on holiday and sets their alarm for several hours before sunrise . . . well, I did! The purpose of the early rise, just like my visit last September, was in the hopes of selecting ‘my spot’ for my tripod to capture the sunrise at Mesa Arch before the throngs of photographers arrived. I was the only car on the road leaving Moab, everyone else was still sensibly in bed apparently. I didn’t even spot any headlights or taillights during the drive to Canyonlands National Park or even on the park roads leading to the parking area for Mesa Arch. Maybe this time I had departed at an appropriately early enough time.
I parked, grabbed my kit, flicked my headlamp on and headed on the path to Mesa Arch. My pace on the path was a bit slower this morning as I had been out the morning prior for a cloudy sunless sunrise and the path was coated in ice from freezing rain the night prior and a bit treacherous (learned by sliding into a pine tree when I was unable to stop on ice coated slick rock). Today the eastern horizon was just beginning to brighten as I arrived at the arch, where I discovered I was the first to arrive!! On my September visit there were already 15 to 20 tripods with accompanying cameras and photographers set up waiting for sunrise . . . this time I was alone for the moment. It was a joy to be able to explore and select my location without having to rush before someone else took it. I even had time to enjoy waiting for the sunrise and the crowds. The sunrise did come as expected, but the other photographers didn’t! I had Mesa Arch to myself for the sunrise.
The beauty of the sunrise here is something one truly needs to witness in person. As the sun broke the horizon the first sunburst occurs, but the best is yet to come. Initially there is a lack of reflected light on the underside of Mesa Arch. But as the sun continues to rise and begins to cross the underside of the arch, a 2nd sunburst occurs while the reflected light illuminates the underbelly of the arch turning the sandstone a glowing red. After capturing the sunrise from near the edge of the rim, with the lack of other photographers I could back up and capture the entire arch at sunrise (an earlier image). The fact I was enjoying this sunrise . . . at this location . . . alone . . . priceless!
In the distance highlighted by the rising sun is the Washer Woman (derived from its resemblance of a tall and slender woman reaching her hands into a tub) and to its right is the taller Monster Tower. Washer Woman and Monster Tower are each over 600 feet tall. Behind the Washer Woman is the Sandcastle. On the horizon are the La Sal Mountains.
A fabulous sunrise at Mesa Arch alone to begin my day, followed by a short drive back to Moab and breakfast at the Jail House Cafe before heading south to Monument Valley.
Last light at dusk over Black Nab. The main purpose of this trip was for starscapes so the rewarding sunset was an unexpected bonus.
Starting to forget what it is like to just grab the camera bag and go off on a spur of the moment trip! Role on 2021.

The purpose of our most recent excursion was to witness the bison rut, a first for us, and to pay a visit to some prime moose habitat, not exactly a first for us. The moosing was good…more on that later.
Witnessing the bison rut was right up there with the most fun wildlife experiences we’ve ever had. The activity was frenetic and wasn’t limited to the big bad bulls. Younger bulls, and even this year’s calves were caught up in the frenzy.
I’ll be sharing some of the fun and sometimes surprising behaviors over the next few days...starting with this bellowing bull. During the rut, the deep bellows of bull bison can be heard across the landscape, and it's nearly constant.
Location note:
We had hoped to see the bison rut in Badlands National Park. However, the Badlands herd apparently prefers to do their rutting in private. We only saw a few dispersed bulls there (which I refer to as "banished bulls"). Fortunately, the herds in nearby Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park didn't mind performing in public and very close to some of the roads in the parks. By far, most of the best photo ops occurred in Wind Cave NP, where this one was captured.
The Lancaster Canal dates from the mid-1790s, and was due to run from Kendal to Westhoughton, near Bolton. The main purpose was to provide Lancaster with coal from the Yorkshire coalfields. But the canal was never completed and eventually was cut off at Tewitfield by a road across the canal. The canal now runs from Tewitfield (pictured), a few miles north of Carnforth, down to Preston. It is purely used for leisure purposes.
