More photos from Creamer's Field. More swans but all were happy staying put.
This pair of swans were happy swimming up to me.
“pain and love have no borders,
even if we raise walls not to see the pain
and we put boundaries to not recognize love.”

“il dolore e l'amore non hanno frontiere,
anche se noi alziamo muri per non vedere il dolore
e mettiamo confini per non riconoscere l'amore.”

All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina (Sicily);
I made photos related to "street photography";
I made portraits of people I did not know, this certainly thanks to their sympathy and availability, I thank them very much;
I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.

Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina (Sicilia);
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho realizzato dei ritratti di persone che non conoscevo, questo certamente grazie alla loro simpatia e disponibilità, li ringrazio davvero molto;
ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

I put up a picture of this as a line art sketch a while ago. Since then, it's been sitting on my drawing table and I decided to add a sunflower and color it to go with the new little series of butterflies and sunflowers. Seems a lot more finished now.
Update: Somehow managed to lose this in my studio before getting it into the frame I made for it... Glad I photographed it and posted it here!
After a good workout in Lyme Bay it's time for the crew to put their gig away. Lyme Regis Gig Club was founded in 2007 and actively promotes the rapidly growing sport of Cornish Pilot Gig Rowing. The club now has three beautiful wooden boats, Rebel, Black Ven and Tempest - all built by local boat builder Gail McGarva.
All modern racing gigs are based on the Treffry, built in 1838 by William Peters of St Mawes, and still owned and raced by the Newquay Rowing Club. The Cornish pilot gig is a six-oared rowing boat, clinker-built of Cornish narrow-leaf elm, 32 feet long with a beam of 4 feet 10 inches. It is recognised as one of the first shore-based lifeboats that went to vessels in distress, with recorded rescues going back as far as the late 17th century.
Today, pilot gigs are used primarily for sport, with around 100 clubs across the globe. The main concentration is within Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, with a number of other clubs in the south-west of England such as here in Lyme Regis.
Put some bird seed out for the birds yesterday and they were down getting their feed, almost straight away, even though Sylvain (Évelyne's son) is also doing so, as is our upstairs neighbour!
Just liked how this one was looking at me.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Sometimes fate puts you in the right place at the right time!
I hope I've done this moment justice . . .

The Georgian Railways put four Stadler KISS trainsets into service in 2015, originally built for Russia’s Aeroexpress. They are mainly deployed on the routes from Tbilisi to Poti and Batumi. On the left is unit GRS‑011; on the right ეს 003, a Soviet‑era EMU built in Riga. Due in part to the poor quality of the Chinese‑built EMUs, these elderly trains remain in operation. Tbilisi, 15 June 2026.
This was taken in the same small art gallery/museum as the "Embrace the shadows" image I put up a few days ago was. The silhouetted figure (which looks like a woman golfer carrying her clubs to me!) was in fact a small sculpture that was sitting on a window ledge. The sky was quite magnificent, which I've made the most of here as you can see. The only fly in the ointment so to speak was the state of the window which was, to put it mildly, not terribly clean. I was not going to spend an inordinate amount of time in PS trying to clone all the dirt spots out of it so I present it here streaks, smudges, and all. Therefore I would kindly ask that when looking at this shot you get out of your chair and view it from around 4 or 5 paces away. It looks much better that way.
:))
I always feel rather sad when I have to put away the Christmas decorations but onward into the new year I must go! have a great day, everyone!

dará un día amantes encendidos...
...Creo que una brizna de hierba no es menor
que la senda que recorren los astros,
que no es menos la hormiga ni un granito de arena
o el huevo del zorzal.
Que la rana responde a los más altos gustos,
que no desentonarían las zarzas trepadoras
en un salón del cielo...”

I forgot to put Sasha with them. Lol.

Dear Bill Major,
As I wrote earlier today: I re-listened, this time to some of the FIM (Frankfurt’s Indeterminables Musiqwesen) CDRs. This out-put of CDRs on the print-on-demand-label recout (here a remained selection) were launched in 1995 through my production of the CD "Endlos / Endless" – a memento "50 years after WWII" for an exhibition in Poland, for which I invited the FIM trio Parallelaktion, plus singer Corinna Mayer.
What I auditioned today was "Hot Deals" by "Imperial Hot" (Christoph Korn – gt, Bertram Ritter – dr, A23H – reeds, tp, and Casio). I do not want to describe the music. I just love the feel of these 15 year old recordings. There is also "Rent Art Quest" by the "Stern4et" (Daniel Franke – as, cl, comp, Micha Daniels – kb, Bertram Ritter – dr, A23H on bari sax, bcl and ts, comp) from some years later – a lovely birthday present those talented younger musicians gave me. It was recorded during a "Jazzferien" session I had set up at a castle in the Spessart mountains in 1999. With Micha Daniels – kb, Bertram Ritter – dr, and A23H – ts there is another beautiful session made in a Frankfurt bunker in 2000, "House of Thee". Together with Christoph Korn I had a duo "Canada dry & 20" recorded in 1992-1994 with drummer Vladimir Tarasov as a guest. Of course there is more from that period I could tell you about. For today I'll finish by mentioning "Cassini", a nine-piece band which I assembled in 1998 with members from my bands "Hale Peat", "Imperial Hoot" and the theater ensemble I put together for my Frankfurt-am-Main production of West Side Story (Harry Petersen- as, cl, Stefan Lottermann – tb, Martin Lejeune – gt, Christoph Korn – gt, Marcel Daemgen – sound system, Peter Antony – kb, Bülent Ates – dr, Günter Bozem – dr, and A23H – ts, bcl, arr). This recording sounds to me like an early version of Otomo Yoshihide’s orchestra ONJO, in which I was a member, as you know, during 2005-2007.
Alfred 23 Harth / Lindsay Cooper / Phil Minton – the three musicians on "Trio Trabant a Roma" – appeared at festivals in Moscow & Volgograd prior to this recording as members of Lindsay’s "Oh Moscow" (we hope to do a new recording in 2010). Especially for Lindsay and me, the impressions from this journey were so deeply strange that even after returning to "the West", we felt like we were still in another mental state – the "State of Volgograd." I formed this trio at the invitation of the Budapest Festival in 1990, so there is that title "et all ways Budapest." It's been twenty years now since The Wall came down. In those days, we were just beginning to see the odd spectacle of cars coming from the East mixing into traffic in Western cities. One East German car was called the "Trabant". I liked that name, since trabant also means a planet orbiting a star, so I called the new trio "Trabant A Roma". Earth was under a new "orbital tent" after the Iron Curtain had come down. It was funny to see those strange cars from the East making long distance journeys through Western Europe – finally "all ways lead to Rome!" The fourth title refers to a festival in Strasbourg where we performed (see CDR Le Cadran Bleu). At that time I also played the Farfisa organ, Casio keyboard, and other miscellaneous stuff, all part of the search to express with the strange by-products of technology emerging at that time. The trio didn't last long (until 1993), same with "Oh Moscow" which played its final concert at the London Jazz festival in 1993 due to Lindsay’s worsening illness (which I didn't know of until 1998, when Sally Potter confirmed the facts concerning Lindsay’s declining health).
It was the brief period of time after the Sovjet Union collapsed in 1991, when all of us were curious about Eastern cultures – the curiosity was mutual among those in the former Soviet bloc. Moscow TV offered to produce a filmed portrait about me in February 1992; this led to my appearance at the "Open Music" festival in St. Petersburg alongside members of the Russian musical avant-garde. The film's title "Balance Action" is taken from the name of a famous saxophone from the early Cold War years. It also refers to the "balance action" that finally led to the breakdown of the Communist regimes. In old Leningrad (freshly rechristened St. Petersburg again) I met Vladimir Tarasov. He told me that before the Wall fell, he and his compatriots were forced to smuggle my records through a narrow, secret tunnel. He also claimed that, in the old CCCP avant-garde circles, I was a celebrity on the order of Michael Jackson (probably a Russian exaggeration). In fact, I did receive one of my very first fan letters from Moscow, in 1970 – somebody who loved the "Just Music" LP (ECM 1002). With Tarasov I formed the Quasar Quartet in 1992 with Simon Nabatov (Russia) and Vitold Rek (Poland); we performed together with Dmitri Prigov. But, just as fast as it arose, this cultural exchange period ended – astonishingly quickly, compared to the decades-long span of the Cold War, which had threatened the entire globe with doom.
Because my group "Just Music" played in Prague in 1970 I knew how serious audiences loved what we brought to our music from the West – they had witnessed the disappointing Prague Spring revolution two years before and heard reflections of those heady times in our music. Since 1971 I had numerous opportunities to reach audiences throughout Eastern Europe – Dresden, Leipzig, East Berlin, Krakow, etc. Last year another listener from Prague told me how important it was for them to hear "Cassiber" in 1984. With that in mind, it is a bit sad that 7K Oaks cancelled its October tour which would have brought us to the Wroclaw festival (where I had played with "Just Music" in 1972 and with "Gestalt et Jive" in 1987).
Now I am patiently waiting at the border of Stalinist North Korea to play my music beyond the split – my heart is already there. Who knows what the ongoing imperialist wars within the holy Sufi countries will bring in context of the metastasis of capitalistic asymmetries and Western weapons mass-production…

if you turn down your radio down, or put your windows up, mute your tv and shush the crowds around you, you can hear summer right around the corner.
the sun will tan our skin and blind our eyes. sand will singe our feet and be made into vulnerable castles. bathing suits will be worn to bed and salt water will prune our fingers.
hopefully tomorrow will be spent with some great company and warm hands (: by the way, nicole murphy kicked major ass at her piano recital!
goodnight and God bless.
The Aurora Borealis put on quite a show last night. I rushed out to catch some of it and I could have been better prepared. Standing around with my camera at -25C in a pair of Jeans isn't the smartest way to go. To say I was cold is a bit of an understatement. Still, I did get a few nice shots before I absolutely had to come home. It was one of the most spectacular shows I've seen in many many years. The greens and reds were dancing all over the sky. In this photo, I captured near the end of my time out there, the lights were really truly kicking off. They were dancing all over the sky in front of me above me and behind me. A few other cars had also arrived with people to look and wonder at the majesty of it all.
Photo taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.2 Pro mounted on a tripod. All post processing was completed in DxO PhotoLab.
I was a little girl
Alone in my little world
Who dreamed of a little home for me
I played pretend between the trees
And fed my house guests bark and leaves
And laughed in my pretty bed of green
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing
I had a dream
Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park
I asked God who I'm supposed to be
The stars smiled down on me
God answered in silent reverie
I said a prayer and fell asleep
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree
I had a dream
Now I'm old and feeling gray
I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave
I lived it full and I lived it well
There's many tales I lived to tell
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing
I had a dream
I was a little girl
Alone in my little world
Who dreamed of a little home for me

37418 puts down the power as it pulls away from a signal check on the outskirts of Shildon. The railtour had to wait here for a few minutes whilst the service train cleared the single track section between Bishop Auckland and Shildon.
The working is the 1Z54 14:41 Saltburn to Shildon. Part of the 'Saltburn Alternative' railtour on the 22nd October 2022.
You put your left foot in, a dancing Hawk.
Thank you for stopping by and for the kind words everyone, and have a great rest of the weekend.
The Railroading Heritage of Midwest America put together 2 days of fundraising trips on the Iowa Interstate running out of their home shops of Silvis, IL. The equipment was a mixture of RRHMA and IAIS owned. UP DDA40X 6936 was definitely the star of the show. IAIS 513 (Rock Island Heritage Unit) was also a nice touch as the route was the former Illinois Division of the Rock Island.
The eastbound run departed Silvis into the morning sun for a turnaround trip to Bureau, IL. Immediately east of Silvis is a long crossing of the Rock River at Colona, IL. Easy to shoot broadsides of this bridge from a nearby highway bridge. I opted to zip closer with the bird as I wanted to see the side-by-side single track spans highlighting this was once a busy double track route for the Rock Island.

Having put a net up across the river to catch the kingfisher we managed to catch it in the scrub net next to the runway. This is a juvenile male and it was amazing how it's colour changed depending on the angle of the light. When we ringed the bird we were in shade and it was a pure kingfisher blue. Into the direct sunlight and greenish tones predominated.
The bird was ringed by the Lothian Ringing Group as part of a long term Constant Effort Site which has been monitored for 23 years.
Pseudophoto. I put a blueish light layer behind the birds. That's the way I make aurora's or halo's around heads, etc.
That is noticeable in this picture, albeit scarcely. The effect of the many countourlines in the BW-version Ben_Paul_M421, made some months afterwards, surprised me.

Put the Original Double Glass Optic in the Lensbaby Scout housing with an f4 aperture ring today. I added a Kenko Extension Tube rather than the macro converters in the Scout and put a +10 macro filter on the optic to grab a shot of some snowflakes on a piece of firewood.
Thanks for visiting my little space here on Flickr.
