“Street music is always good even it is bad, because actually there is only one melody over there: The melody of life struggle of a poor man!”

Large flocks of Horned Larks huddled together on a freezing day with windchills in the -50s. If you zoom in you’ll see frost forming around their eyes.
This amazing tree grows on the rim of the Grand Canyon. One branch, pointing toward the right, still lives. The other branches are dead.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
I struggled to catch the beauty of these wonderful rock layers on the beach. I loved the wet lines on these faces though adding more interest. Backchannels by Shearwater is quite good for this shot.
My I struggled with this one - not only capturing it but in the process in trying to keep the colours real and the flow smooth. Well I guess this is what I have come up with and from memory its pretty much how the morning looked. It was from the outing last week with Pixeloc at North Turimetta. Definitely had a fun morning and treated to a delight of a sky. Anyway... all feedback .. harsh as it may be ... is required.
(Daniel: Yep...got soaked from the backwash hitting a set of rocks behind me more than the front waves...Fun!)
Stability...I had two of the legs between rocks and I lent down pretty hard on it! Most of the shots where stable thankfully...Appreciate all the comments!
Its a single exposure using a Cokin GND8 for the sky. Thanks for looking as always.
I, like this sunrise trying to get out from the clouds, am on the struggle bus with getting out and shooting some photos.
A trip to Halibut Point State Park in early 2021 had me diving back into my archives. This was originally posted and removed, but reworked slightly in Lightroom for some shadow control.

A leaf from a briar appears to be trying to regenerate. I don't know much about plant biology but it's a colourful struggle.

My tribute to Chester........(also from old account)
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Looks like not many trees have survived on this side of Blakiston Creek. Winter conditions must be harsh in the Rockies.
Struggling along toward their end terminal in Channing, this 4 unit set of Milwaukee Road F's is going to make it one way or another having left Iron Mountain, Michigan not long ago - November 9, 1978.

The Ft Dodge to Waterloo local (L570) flying thru New Hardford, Iowa full of snow and with ditch lights out near sunset. They had just opened the main between Ft Dodge and Waterloo, and were the first train on this stretch of track since the overnight snowfall we had
Thanks to Scott Marsh for alerting me to this EB train. He got the same train at Sinclair, Ia a few miles West of me
I am pretty sure that winter is over here. It has been a wee bit cold still here but getting better all the time.
Happy Saturday
When the mystery we call God looks within us and through us, God sees only Himself (how ego-deflating). Yet when we look within ourselves we see someone seeking enlightenment despite the fact that the God we think we seek is already looking out of our eyes; has known us since before we were born (Jer 1:5). What enlightenment does without our asking it to, like the rose that blooms without a why, is engender, sustain, and invite us into a long process of integration of all our issues, faults and failings into our essential, enlightened being. The fruit of this integration is not the sanitization of our faults and transgressions but manifestations of Divine Light through what we may judge to be inappropriate given how long we have practiced and how many retreats we have been on.
