I have just recently started this fascinating book called Crucible by Charles Emmerson. It is a history encompassing the time frame 1917 to 1924, from the ending of the First World War to the setting up by various forces in Europe for the much more dreaded sequel. Whilst I have read countless books on this time period, it is always interesting to read new interpretations and newly revealed information. I'm about 1/6 of the way through it but so far a recommended read, if you fancy early 20th century European history.

It is a rare occurrence that the sun is so dim as to get the Palisades to read in a sunset photo from my window.

I don't know what came over me lately, but suddenly, I want to read. I've been reading like crazy. Hours will go by and I won't even notice. Part of the reason my pictures have been lacking lately.
Help!!! what should I build! I have a lot if double wide track links, so a large tank is possible. I am building a seen in Late war Germany, 1945, so I need vehicles used then either by U.S. or German forces. Any type of vehicle welcome!
Dear mates, I highly encourage to read the whole comments but especially my comment added here below today Saturday, February 13 2021 (it is the 7th one from top).
Dear Artists Friends, we had a kinda diatribe in a Flickr group trying to advise the quality of the uploads posted in there had highly decreased, abrupting & banalizing the concept for which the group was born. You know us, we speak very rarelly but,if we do, it's in the aim of giving our little contribution to improve things.
Here, for your attention & up for your consideration you'll find the thread we wrote. Enjoy &, eventually, have fun in reading what was answered to us. www.flickr.com/groups/1531500@N24/discuss/72157717700862926/
Eventually, this situation could be mapped & observed in a huge number of other groups, so, it's not our intention to make a constructive critique only about this group which professes to be an online art museum: the same could be written in fact about many others, although, will you notice that it's, at least, peculiar, the ambition to host art & art in a Net museum, on Flickr...
I personally think that, for a true artist, it's becoming very tough, up to frustration to post in certain groups where art is more & more frequently flanked by nearby mediocre or even outragious trash images...

So I can't do this project, because i'm too busy. I have to study so much, and i live in a dormitory so i can't visit flickr every day.... But i hope i can go on with this project one day...

"read between the lines" was my original concept for todays shot.
but as always I got no clue what to post, Therefore Chaos.
as it's suppose to be clones in this picture. and on the original thought this selfie of me under the table is not the "main" thing. Oh well. (did anybody understand that? *wondering*)
just wanted to upload something before I went to sleep!
NOW I'm dead tiered
and haven't done anything that I really should.
like packing as I'm going home to the north.
and I've got a million things to get out of my room when somebody else temporarily moves in. AND I have to work tomorrow + school.... so when am I going to do that? :O
Departure day is; june 10th!!!!!!!!!! Sooooon!

psps: For the last 48 hours I've been working part time for 20.
I'm officially dead tired.
I won't try to pull the wool over your eyes by claiming to have read Plato, but I was reading in one of the late John Michell's articles, collected as Confessions of a Radical Traditionalist (Vermont, Dominion, 2005) that, at the end of The Republic, the soul of Ulysses is one of a number gathered together to choose their future lives. After all the lives of wealth and luxury have been taken, Ulysses finds, discarded in a corner, the life of a quiet, retiring country gentleman, which is exactly what he'd have chosen if he'd been given the pick of the bunch. Ulysses and I are of one mind on this matter, although my modest circumstances permit me to reproduce the situation of a "country gentleman" only, as it were, in microcosm. My mind's natural mode of functioning is to observe, contemplate and understand. It is possible, of course, that when I say this I am merely making excuses for my habitual sloth and procrastination. Naturally I regard my own understanding as correct, but another chap, approaching Life from a different point-of-view, might arrive at a different, erroneous, understanding. I've never had an ounce of ambition and I've never been able to understand why anyone would wish for a "career". Just having a job is bad enough. So here I am, enjoying a ruminative plug of Old Setright Waybill Ready-Rubbed, in surroundings conducive to the thinking of great thoughts.

This very tame Red-shouldered Hawk was hunting near the dam at Centennial Lake. It was trying for squirrels without any luck. We watched it preening in the sunshine and then it took off into the spring sky.
A short hike in Read Mountain Preserve, to play with two vintage lenses: the Helios 44-2 58mm f2 and the Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 in Nikon mount (AKA Bokina). Both adapted to Sony A7Riv. This picture was taken with Tokina 90mm f2.5
This place has had abandoned and wrecked cars around it since 1999. Cars seem to come an go, but there is no one around. Currently, two 80's and a 1978-79 El Camino's reside on the north side of the building.
By June 24th, the property has been cleared of all junk cars.
Update 2021: This side of the building is almost completely covered over in tall weeds and brush.
