Selective exposure, lucky it was such a big area ... I want a Spot meter ...
M9 872 approaches Colombo Maradana with a train from Kandy on the final full day of our Sri Lankan trip.
This really was a welcome sight as aside from a number of stored locomotives on Maradana depot we had seen absolutely no evidence of the M9 class for the previous 8 days of the trip, nor my previous visit in 2015 - so they do work sometimes!
10 of these Alstom locomotives were built in 2000 for Sri Lankan Railways at Belfort in France- unlike their more familiar cousins the EWS class 67, these locomotives are fitted with a Ruston power plan and certainly sound quite different as a result!
Since their introduction the class has been plagued by problems with maintenance and the cost and supply of spare parts leaving them as the least utilised fleet of locos in the country, often with only one or two machines in traffic.
My 2024 trip report from Sri Lanka is now online here.
'Synchronous Flight Back Home' - [Special Series: 'Sometimes The World Is Blue'.. ]
A wonderful winter day near a smal lake in Munich ends slowly.. Snow white swans flying in the dark blue sky with interesting flight formation over my head.. Although the animals are not easy and hardly any wind blowing, you just glide through the air. It was very nice savor the freedom to travel into the distance, the vastness of it, so it in the air and float by the wind. It´s time to say good bye and for 'Synchronous Flight Back Home' in Munich!
I watch the swans and there seems to me a thought in mind: It must be fantastic to be able to fly as! Learning to fly and you are free! - 'I wish you a wonderful day'! ;-))
I'm happy about all comments without big icon and thoughts from you! - Thank you! ;-)

Sometimes you get that reward for waking up, getting out at the crack of sparrows, sweating your way up relentless seeming slopes, being chased by midges every time you stop for just a second....well, for a while today was the day.

There were days when it was almost possible to forget, that sometimes the wind, is the most petulant thing of all.
Sometimes they pile the straw even higher up, that's why they want us to cut the trees at the roads.
...but that doesn't mean you have to stop shining, hoping, dreaming.
Even if you know you are here only for a while...

This is the first time I've used my Lensbaby Sol 45 for a flat lay, more often than not I use the V56 but decided to be a bit adventurous. This won't be everybody's cup of tea but I love the blur so I may well be using the Sol again.
Ce sont de véritables acrobates. Les mésanges bleues recherchent souvent leur nourriture suspendue à de fines branches, c'est pourquoi elles préfèrent les boules ou les anneaux de graisse. Malgré leur taille modeste, elles sont très batailleuses et généralement très agressives et elles n'hésitent pas à chasser de la mangeoire des espèces de même taille qu'elles, telles les mésanges noires ou nonnette. Quelquefois, elles osent même se mesurer à la mésange charbonnière pourtant plus grande. La mésange bleue menace les autres oiseaux en gonflant son plumage, ce qui la fait paraître plus grosse. Elles voyagent en troupes éparses en hiver, se disputant parfois pour se poser sur les distributeurs de graines et de noisettes disposés pour elles. Outre sa formidable capacité, propre à la famille des mésanges, d'ouvrir les graines en martelant leur coque, la mésange bleue se distingue par une autre méthode : elle incise la coque grâce à son bec tranchant et picore la graine morceau par morceau. En marquant des mésanges bleues, on s'est aperçu que plus d'une centaine pouvait se succéder dans un jardin, même si on n'en voit que quelques-unes à un moment donné.

They are real acrobats. Blue tits often look for food hanging from thin branches, so they prefer balls or rings of fat. Despite their modest size, they are very aggressive and generally very aggressive and they do not hesitate to hunt from the manger species of the same size as they, such as black tits or nonnette. Sometimes, they even dare to measure themselves against the coal tit, yet larger. The blue tit threatens other birds by inflating its plumage, which makes it look bigger. They travel in scattered troops in winter, sometimes arguing to land on seed and nut dispensers arranged for them. In addition to its great ability, family-specific tits, to open the seeds by hammering their hull, the blue tit is distinguished by another method: it incises the hull with its sharp beak and peck the seed piece by piece. By marking blue tits, it was discovered that more than a hundred could succeed in a garden, even if we only see a few at a given moment.
sometimes...when we in some kind of trouble...
problem...
all we have is ourselves....alone..
while others.....was just looking....
Sometimes, I need a break from "serious" photography, just to laid back and enjoy in magnificent mother nature colors.
-Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad...
AS of today I have never really put to tought about Jessica in the long term times.
Yes I had those plans as for 2007, for thats as far as it goes.
And by next year if Jessica still exist it would be probably the same.
But, should I be doing with Jessica some long term thinking and planning?
Something like "where is Jessica in 5, 10, 20 years???", or maybe "Whats the final purpose of this girly side??"
As of now, its more exciting, more surprising just do it like this, in short terms, to see what new things, to set goals that are no too far in time.
But if the boy side, has those long term plans and dreams, shouldn't Jessica have her owns, or have some that both sides share. Yet I don't put myself into really thinking about that.
Perhaps I am too scared of what I would thought.
Kisses
Jessica
A veces me pregunto
Hasta hoy, realmente nunca me he puesto en serio a pensar sobre Jessica en terminos de largo plazo.
Si ya se que hice eso de los propositos para el 2007, pero eso es lo mas lejano que va y realmente no es tan a largo plazo.
E igual, si aun para el año siguiente Jessica existe, se pondra nuevos planes para ese año.
Pero, deberia de empezar a pensar y planear en que ocurrira con Jessica a largo plazo??
Algo como "Y donde estara Jessica en 5,10,20 años???2, o quiza mas bien "Realmente tiene un proposito esto del lado niña??"
Y es que hasta ahora es mas interesante no pensar a tan lejos, mas sorpresivo el hacer todo en lapzos de tiemp pequeños, el hacer cosas nuevas, el ponerse posibles ojbjetivos no tan lejos en el tiempo.
Pero si el lado niño, tiene todos esos planes y sueños a largo plazo, No debiera Jessica tambien tener los suyos, o tener unos que sean en comun, de ambos, de mi como todo. Y aun asi cada vez evito el ponerme a pensar realmente en eso.
Quiza es que me da miedo lo que pueda llegar a pensar.
Kisses
Jessica
Sometimes the memory of some place you visit or some scenery you saw will become more & more subtle though it's used to be very clear & beautiful, and to the end the left memory in your brain and mind maybe just a bundle of light, a streamline of wind or a splash of colors.......
Continue to the 4th bunch of the overlayering experiments of "Memory of Autum 2008", and this bunch I try to deliver a unique impressionism style & suburban feel by multiple images overlayering. Let me know how you feel about this bunch of creation. Thank you & have a great coming weekend.
...if it is really worth it :-/
I am staring at Commercial law Codex and there are some other interesting books in that pile... ;-)

[PT] Entre ruas, sombras e ficções
Contemplo ruas, pessoas e pedras, entre ficções e esquecimentos, inspirado no poeta, talvez, percebo as sombras dos gestos de outros, a poesia do crepúsculo, um desassossego.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de não sei quê, sombras de gestos feitos por outrem, efeitos encarnados, consequências que sentem.” (Fernando Pessoa, Livro do Desassossego, v.164)
[ES] Entre calles, sombras y ficciones
Contemplo calles, personas y piedras, entre ficciones y olvidos, inspirado en el poeta, quizás, percibo las sombras de los gestos de otros, la poesía del crepúsculo, una inquietud.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de no sé qué, sombras de gestos hechos por otra persona, efectos encarnados, consecuencias que sienten.” (Fernando Pessoa, Libro del desasosiego, v.164)
[ENG] Between streets, shadows and fictions
I contemplate streets, people and stones, between fictions and oblivion, inspired by the poet, perhaps, I perceive the shadows of the gestures of others, the poetry of twilight, a restlessness.
“...we are all equally derived from I don't know what, shadows of gestures made by someone else, embodied effects, consequences they feel.” (Fernando Pessoa, Book of Disquiet, v.164)
