(Gaio, Portugal) Obviously I had the intention to suggest this particular idea. The overall composition was carefully studied to produce a scenario that would transport you to Arrakis. To give some "heat" I warmed a little.
AKIBA scenario
AKIHABARA (秋葉原) also known as Electric Town or AKIBA in short. Its best-known as one of the largest shopping areas on Earth for electronic, computer, anime, and otaku goods. The character of Akihabara has constantly changed over the decades and continues to do so. A recent development is the emergence of Akihabara as a center of Japanese animation culture.
OTAKU culture in Akihabara has become increasingly famous in the recent years. Many people there have unique lifestyles, centered on technological enterprises and a love for Anime/Manga, that have made them outsiders in other sections of Japanese society. Otaku are afforded the chance to gather here and avoid alienation imposed by others who do not share their specific interests. The presence of such prolific "GEEKY" behavior has led to Akihabara being seen as a mecca of sorts for otaku, as well as to the term Akiba-kei, or Akiba-type.
In addition to conventional stores, various other animation related establishments have appeared in the area, such as cosplay ("costume play") cafes, where waitresses are dressed up like anime characters, and manga kissaten ("comics cafes"), where customers can read comics, watch DVDs and surf the internet.
Maid-kissa are coffee shops where the waitresses where fantasy like maid costumes. They dress up to look like characters from famous anime or Japanese comics. Since Akihabara caters not only to electronic enthusiasts but also young Japanese otaku which translates roughly to NERDS in English.
Every Sundays at Chuo-Dori, the main street in Akihabara you can find the "MAIDS" passing out pamphlets to their shops to passers by.

We got hammered pretty good with the white fluffy stuff over the weekend. With the plows not being able to keep up, as well as a few power outages, you can imagine that there where issues on the mainlines. CP had a slow order in for the Buckskin area do to the heavily packed snow at the CR17 crossing, and the last I heard CN was sending out a rescue crew for a dead 107 at Dock Siding at around 1730 (update: just heard they are still waiting at 1915). When I left home base sometime around 1pm (after dealing with my own snow issues) I had heard the 107 and VIA were still down at Brechin.
Another late-day scenario, but this time locally with the 113 between Medonte and Buckskin - where the foreman was firing up the generators. I was lucky to catch this train just prior to dusk, and with a Norfolk Southern EMD unit trailing. I would not have been happy watching that go by in the darkness! In addition I was able to capture an incoming snowblast close up which all combined really made my weekend.

As you descend into the the Changathang from the Thanglangla pass, you barely meet anyone on the road. At the foot of the mountain pass lies the valley broad, dry and dusty and again not a soul to be seen.
While trying to locate a suitable nomad encampment called a "Reebo" in Ladakhi language, one could see a trail of goats and sheep walking the dry and dusty valley in the far distance. After trailing this herd for some time, we managed to find the nomad up ahead looking sinister and imposing even in that wide wide expanse. He wanted only a cigarette.
He holds in his left hand the skin of a changathangi goat the hair from which goes into making cashmere/pashmina.
The only thing that is unpredictable in a scenario like this is the nomad dog. The dogs still had the winter coat and looked huge and calm and not aggressive. At least not the one that was next to the nomad.
As we drove off after the brief exchange of cigarettes, photographs and a demo of how the blade works, one of the dogs guarding the other flank of the herd charged the vehicle at full throttle. Mercifully passengers were inside the moving vehicle. It was an awesome sight to see the canine at full tilt and I was wondering if he will hurt himself if he smashes into the bodywork of the Indian SUV. He did not. He snarled a mean good bye.
Amen!

There aren't many scenarios where the fiery-colored Western Tanager is camouflaged in its surroundings. However, this little guy hanging out in a blooming agave stalk has done just that. I photographed this a short distance from my Sedona home.
While searching the family archives, we discovered this photograph of Great Uncle Adriano J. Peg and a group of men who did not appear to be from the Manigotapi area. Upon further research, a second grade History teacher recognized the bespectacled gentleman with the watch fob as Fujimura Sadao, oyabun of the Yamaguchi-gumi What dealings Afriano had with the men from Japan is lost to history. What is known is about the same time Adriano lost the pinky finger on his left hand in a fishing accident.

Im not usually one for going out on a Sunday, but my brother Michael suggested a short circumventory of local Satffordshire locations as there were several items of interest out and about.
Having photographed 66604 on autoballasters at Tamworth, we shot up to the small town of Rugeley for an ECS. I suggested a 67 would be on the sharp end, and the unique liveried 67018 homed into view.
67018 'Keith Heller' races North through Rugeley Trent Valley heading an 07:50 Wembley Eur Frt Ops Cntre to Bo'ness Jn Exchange Sdg with an SRPS rake of mark ones that had been used on a charter a few days earlier.
From here, we made for Elford Loop, just a tad Nor'West of Tamworth, for 6E68, which with any luck should produce a class 60.
Cross-dressing as a woman is for me a lonely experience. My circumstances prevent me from venturing out and socialising en femme. Instead the Internet is now the only place where my female alter-ego can exist in a sociable way. I have found though it is a place that does not always provide the support and comfort I have been seeking. I am sure I am not alone with this experience. Flickr provides me with an outlet but many who I had thought of as friends no longer communicate with me and my correspondence goes unanswered.
It was a harsh lesson to learn that my views and contact eventually became unwelcome so I resolve to try and stand on my own these days. There are some people that have maintained contact and encourage me and I am grateful for this but increasingly I feel I am an embarrassment to others who do not approve of my views I express in my narratives.
For many transvestites it is a lonely existence when it comes to our cross-dressing and I am fully aware I am by no means unique in experiencing this. There are those who do socialise and meet up but for the majority of us this is an unlikely scenario.
This is not meant to come across as a ‘woe is me’ narrative, I am trying to express the reality that I’ve encountered as I think others too have experienced it and I just wish to acknowledge it is all part of the reality of being a a transvestite. I’m not pointing fingers at anyone just outlining my own experiences.
I do get a lot of joy from cross-dressing but I am more aware it is always going to be a private and solitary experience but I am pleased I do get to engage in the activity. I am not able to dress just now and my usual coping technique is to look through my photo archives and I gain comfort from the memories as they are snapshots of pure joy. The inability to get a cross-dressing opportunity is what prompts my rambling stream of consciousness outpourings alongside my photos. It always feels good to just sit and type away and let it flow out.
I hope to record some very honest videos this year as Helene as I have reached the point in my life I have a strong need to speak openly about all that I feel regarding my transvestism. I will really enjoy the freedom of that self expression. I bottled it up for two long and I am guilty of over enthusing and driving people away. I cannot change what has happened and I do miss some people but like everything in life one has to move on, tomorrow is another day.
I am more aware of my situation than ever before. I am aware of my limitations and lack of abilities but I want the elation and fulfilment I get from cross-dressing despite my failings with my efforts and with how I communicate and alienate others. I am a flawed person but I know that and just have to accept that is how I am.
Transvestism is not well received by wider society and even amongst transvestites it can be uncomfortable, it’s a rewarding thing to be a transvestite yet not without it’s downsides. On the whole though I gain more from it than i find negative.
I am aware Helene’s future is always going to be a solitary one but at least I can be her now and again and these days I feel easier talking about it, albeit in these narratives or on camera in my videos. Becoming her on occasion is true reward and liberating and yes, quite exciting, adore cross-dressing.
Two-shot-composite: Yes, yes, the shadows and exposure doesnt match, but yet, let it be :3 Another 'highway beside the taxiway' scenario.

PLAZA DE LA VIRGEN
Plaza de la Virgen è per eccellenza uno di luoghi d’incontro e di passaggio di Valencia. Rappresenta infatti il fulcro vitale di moltissimi eventi e appuntamenti, oltre ad accogliere intorno a se moltissime attrazioni e luoghi d’interesse storico e culturale.
Con la sua bellissima facciata a tinte pastello e l’imponente cupola, la Basilica della Vergine è un emblema della piazza. Soprattuto per il grande attaccamento che tutti i valenciani hanno verso questo edificio.
Uno dei nomi con cui si chiamava in passato questa piazza era “Plaça de la Seu”, in riferimento proprio all’adiacente Cattedrale di Valencia.
Come detto, la piazza costituisce un punto di ritrovo importantissimo per tutti: valenciani e non.
Plaza de la Virgen è lo scenario di uno degli eventi più emozionanti e significativi della festa delle Fallas. Si tratta dell’Ofrenda de Flores alla Virgen de los Desemparados (letteramente dei “senza tetto”), durante il quale viene allestita nel centro della piazza un grande telaio di legno raffiguarante appunto la Vergine.

PLAZA DE LA VIRGEN
Plaza de la Virgen is one of the meeting and passage places of Valencia par excellence. In fact, it represents the vital hub of many events and appointments, in addition to welcoming around itself many attractions and places of historical and cultural interest.
With its beautiful pastel-colored façade and the imposing dome, the Basilica of the Virgin is an emblem of the square. Above all for the great attachment that all Valencians have towards this building.
One of the names with which this square was called in the past was "Plaça de la Seu", in reference to the adjacent Cathedral of Valencia.
As mentioned, the square is a very important meeting point for everyone: Valencians and non-Valencians.
Plaza de la Virgen is the setting for one of the most exciting and significant events of the Fallas festival. This is the Offering of Flowers to the Virgen de los Desemparados (literally of the “homeless”), during which a large wooden frame depicting the Virgin is set up in the centre of the square.

The Enchanted Apple Tree
(Death, Compassion, Accountability)
Long ago, somewhere in France, lived an old woman who had an apple tree. Now the apples that grew on this tree were delicious. They were probably the most delicious apples in all of France. As people walked by, they were always helping themselves to the apples. Misere’ was very frustrated by this. “I would be happy to share my apples,” she grumbled, “if only they would ask.” Misere’ built a fence around her apple tree. Then the villagers climbed on the fence to pick the apples! This was not fair!
One day a tired traveler knocked at Misere’s door. She asked for permission to pick a few apples. Misere’ was so happy to be asked that she went out and picked a basketful for the traveler to take with her. “Misere,” said the traveler. “I thank you for the apples. “Because you have shared, I will grant you one wish.”
Misere’ thought of asking for gold--but what need had she of gold? She had a comfortable house, a small garden, a few chickens and her wonderful apple tree—if only people would stop picking the apples without permission! Thinking of the apple tree gave Misere’ an idea. “I wish that anyone who picks an apple from my tree without permission must remain stuck to the apple until I let him or her go.”
“It shall be as you wish,” said the traveler. Misere’ looked at her apple tree to see if it had changed. It looked just the same. When she turned to say “Thank you,” the traveler had disappeared.
Misere’ stood at the window to watch what might happen. Three small boys stopped to look at the apples. They climbed up on Misere’s fence and each boy grabbed an apple. There they hung and no matter how they squirmed and screamed and wiggled, they could not get loose. By the end of the day, a nursemaid, a farmer and a baker were also hanging from the apple tree. “Please, Misere’,” they begged, “let us go.”
“Well, all right,” said Misere’, “but next time you ask!”
As soon as they fell to the ground, they picked themselves up and hurried away. As Misere’ fixed her supper, the hint of a smile clung to her lips. She heard someone enter her door and turned. An old man stood in the doorway. Misere’ had never seen him before but she recognized him as Father Death! “What do you want at my house?” she asked.
“I have come for you.”
Now Misere’ knew there was no use arguing with Father Death. “I will be ready in a minute,” she said. “But I am thinking that it is a long journey we are going on and we will probably get hungry on the way. Why don’t we take some cheese and some of my apples with us. They are the most delicious apples in all of France.”
Father Death was surprised. All feared him. No one had ever spoken kindly to him! No one had ever offered him anything to eat! “All right,” he said, “but you must hurry!”
“I will slice the cheese,” said Misere’. “Will you please pick the apples?” And she gave him a basket.
Father Death climbed the tree and reached out for his first apple. And he was stuck! No amount of wiggling or screaming or pulling could get his hand free from that apple! Father Death pleaded and begged but Misere’ would not listen.
Ten years passed and during those years, no one died. Children fell beneath the carriage wheels and they did not die. They fell in the river but they did not drown. People suffered pain and sickness and Father Death could not come to release them.
“Please,” begged Father Death, “release me. The world is not as it ought to be. Please let me go. There are people who need to be allowed to die.”
“All right,” said Misere’, “I will set you free but you must promise me that I won’t have to go with you until I want to.”
“Impossible!” said Father Death. No person controls the time of his death. Death comes he will. I can’t allow you to stay past your time.”
“Then you stay fastened to my apple tree,” replied Misere’.
Finally, in desperation, Father Death promised Misere’ that she wouldn’t have to go with him until she wanted to. And she has never wanted to and that is why misery is still in the world!
