As I sit here relaxing and looking out my window on this Halloween night, one train after another is going by and I just got in the mood to post a train shot. So it was off to my archives for this one. This eastbound train was stopped in Maple Park, Illinois. The front door on the engine left open while the conductor ran over to the local hamburger joint for carry out. The sunset was the icing on the cake for this beautiful late August day.

This sunset was full of warm colors.Check out the link in my 'about me' section for info about prints.

On my street, looking out my window, I get to experience this ......

A peaceful evening over Hampi, with a clear view of the iconic Virupaksha Temple framed by giant boulders on Hemakuta Hill. Two people sit quietly, soaking in the evening light and the historic landscape of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in Karnataka, India.

A devastating earthquake in the year 1964 shaped this hilly area, which offers trails, an interpretive display, and amazing sunsets.

I’ve been holding onto these photos for a while. Tonight felt like the right moment to let them see the light by showing the sunset’s own. City lights shimmer against the fading sky, their glow mirrored and refracted, while branches and wires etch a fragile lace across the horizon. It is twilight caught between reflection and silhouette, a quiet filigree of dusk. 🌆

بانت الدمعه علـى خـد الحبيـب

يـوم زفـوه بخلاخيـل وحـلـل

وانا بين الناس حايـر يـا شبيـب

من حبيـبـ(ن) بالضمايـر لـه محـل

ان شربت الدم لـي ربـ (ن) حسيـب

وان كسرت العود لاموني الاهـل

ياولد عمي ورى صمتـك عجيـب؟

شوف حزني صـار للدنيـا مثـل

الاهل راحـوا وخلونـي صويـب

مادروا بالمـوت طرّز لـي أجـل

والعمام غصون للقاصـي تطيـب

ميـر للدانـي اعاصيـر ووحـل

كل ليله ترحـل لـ شمـس المغيـب

والشمـال العـذب سماهـا نـفـل

النفل يجـرح ، وجرحـه مايطيـب

والزمـان يعيـد نفسـه مـايـزل

ما ظلمتك مير انـا حبـي نجيـب

ولا طلبتـك كـل حالاتـك زعـل

ما عطيتوني سـوى عمـر(ن) كئيـب

السنيـن عجـاف والدنيـا بـخـل

كم غريـبـ(ن) صـار بالدنيـا نسيـب

وكم قريبـ(ن) عـاف عمَانـه ورحـل

وكم غريبـ(ن) يلمس الشعـر السبيـب

وكم هنوفـ(ن) للنـوى خطـت كحـل

يا بساتيـن العمـر .. حتفـي قريـب

مابقـى عنـدي مـن الدنيـا امـل

الطيور مهاجـره صبـح ومغيـب

والسنابـل كـل مافيـهـا ذبــل

والشجر يغويك في غصنـ(ن) رطيـب

ولا طلبتـه ورد خـلاك وأفــل

والغريب الحظ عمره مـا يصيـب

كل ما قرب مـن الفرحـه جفـل

يا نـوارس كــفــّــنـي قلـبـ(ن) عطيـب

البحـر رغـم الصفـا يامـا قتـل

وربي المعطـي لعبـده يستجيـب

لا دعاه بصـوم ، او خالـص عمـل

ليت من تحت الثرى يصحى ويجيب

وليت من فوق الثرى تحت الرمـل

Perched on a vast hilltop in Chittorgarh, the majestic Chittorgarh Fort stands as one of India’s most powerful symbols of valor and sacrifice. Spread across nearly 700 acres, it served as the historic capital of the Sisodia Rajputs of Mewar and has witnessed some of the fiercest battles in Indian history. Believed to have origins in the 7th century, the fort evolved over time into a formidable stronghold, protected by massive stone walls, seven grand gateways, and an intricate system of water reservoirs that sustained life during long sieges.

Inside the fort lies a rich tapestry of history, architecture, and legend. The towering Vijay Stambh rises as a tribute to victory and pride, while the elegant Padmini Palace echoes stories of honor and intrigue. The fort is also closely associated with Rani Padmini and the heroic tales of jauhar, as well as the spiritual legacy of Meera Bai. Walking through its expansive grounds, one feels a deep connection to its past, where every stone carries echoes of courage, devotion, and an unyielding spirit that continues to define its identity.

Golden hour view from Park Güell—Gaudí watching over Gaudí. Those impossible spires rising above Barcelona's terracotta rooftops, framed by Mediterranean gardens. Two of his masterpieces in one frame, both still shaping this city's skyline more than a century later. Sometimes the best seat is the one on the hill.
