I am back again for a while ..so well catch up when I can.
On my walk around the city catching up on events. Christchurch September 27, 2015 New Zealand.

Editing done with Photoshop Elements 12 with Topaz Labs plug ins.
Found and admired at Topsail Island in Surf City, North Carolina, USA.
sunset in the Columbia Gorge is pretty fun this time of year, if you do not mind the cold! I really love the waterfalls...
or should I say ICEfalls?
This is one of many runoff waterfalls coming over the cliffs along Highway 14 just East of Bingen, Washington.
As always, my photos are all taken with a Canon Powershot A630

You could easily describe this as a pretty dreadful photo. However, to me, it remains one of my most remarkable.
Taken 13 years ago to this day, the fuzzy snowball in the centre of the photograph is Comet Holmes. It was taken high up just off the Macclesfield to Buxton Road at a spot where the lights of Greater Manchester are largely hidden. The Lumix bridge camera was balanced on top of the car and made a valiant attempt. It remains the only comet of which I've got a photo, though maybe I should have tried much harder when Hale-Bopp was so visible in 1997.
This 2007 pass of Comet Holmes was notable because it temporarily brightened by a factor of about half a million. It remains the largest known outburst by a comet and not surprisingly became visible to the naked eye.....though you still had to work quite hard to find it in the night sky. Not surprisingly, given the image above, highly specialist equipment would have been needed to get any photo without that unexpected extra luminosity.
A quick, low-light shot of a loon off the dock in the backyard. At one point we had 5 of them! Usually it's one or two at a time.
Just my ramblings... that don’t make sense... if you want to get confused read on... if not... then... you don’t have to ;)
Art frees, yet restricts... it unleashes what is within yet it holds back... the more you see the more you don’t see... the simpler the visual the more complex the meaning. Nothing is complete... or can be completed... i am not stating any facts these are just opinions that are coming to mind at the moment which many could or would argue with.. There came a time where I had to get a model and just plaster her and leave... create an experiment... see if she would get claustrophobic see if she will panic and try to rip it off.. First time I tried it was on myself, I don’t believe in putting people in difficult situations when I haven’t put myself in them first. I've been molding people for 6 years now... there hasn't been a time when anyone has panicked. I notice a strange calm coming over them... the tension of the plaster tightening while they sit creates a disconnect with the world, or should i say this dimension (if you believe in others).. You go where your mind takes you... that is when you are free... the restriction brings the freedom... This world is a fascinating paradox.
This is the legal graffiti wall in Farsta. It is called Farstaväggen. The Farsta wall. The address is Farstavägen. The Farsta Road, stuff like that amuses me. Anything painted here will most likely be over painted a few hours later.
At the time of uploading this photo, Manchester's Victoria Metrolink stop had just reopened after a lengthy closure for upgrade work, and a new overall roof for the station was in the final stages of installation. So we thought it was opportune to show a photo from a slightly earlier time, in 1990 when construction of the Metrolink system was in full swing.
This photo shows the demolition of the old Victoria platforms 1 to 6 to make way for the new Metrolink stop. At this time, the venerable 'class 504' trains eletric trains, built in 1959, still operated between Bury and Crumpsall stations, but access to Victoria was clearly impossible. Construction of the new system caused a large amount of temporary disruption in Manchester City Centre, although the millions of commuters who have used the system since will no doubt agree that it was worth it.
The prototype Metrolink car with no running units that was used to test passenger access, number 1000, is today on display at the Museum of Transport.

Bible verses from the Jan. 12 page in Light for Each Day, Vol. 1:
The world in its current form is passing away.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Based on His promise, we wait for the new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will dwell.
1 Cor. 7:31, 2 Cor. 4:18, 2 Pet. 3:13, HCSB

The bus stands on The Broadway have been dug up (as seen in the background), so buses from the east are having to drop off at Locke Way stop 7 if they've got layover to take before their next departure.
They seem to park here if there's room, but if it's full, then they need to go round to Duke Street. If that's full, then they need to go back out, and down Stanley Road and up Chertsey Road to the lower half of Duke Street, where the car parking has been suspended to create more bus parking.
The amusing part of all these arrangements is that, with the roadworks and fencing, the right turn from Duke Street back onto The Broadway to get to the pick up stands is not actually possible to do in a bus without driving over the pavement!
Here's Abellio Surrey 8443 (KM02 HFS), having come in on a 456 from Staines. It's the only of this batch of ex-London Darts to wear the new livery - although it's (still) missing vinyls and the interior is as bad as the others, so does not really compare well to the refurbished MPDs.

Class 640 'LINT 27' single-car diesel-hydraulic unit No. 640 015 waits at Bad Ems station in the German Land of Rhineland-Palatinate with a service that will head east towards Limburg on Monday 26th May 2025.
When this photo was shot, the line heading west - towards Koblenz - was subject to long-term closure for substantial engineering work, effectively making Bad Ems the temporary terminus of the Lahntalbahn (the Lahn Valley Railway). As you can see, the station itself was also undergoing refurbishment at this time.
Bad Ems is twinned with Droitwich Spa in the UK.
Very very temporary assembly for my self-satisfaction. ;)

Gold rimmed for Route One?
On Frimley Road, the bus stop opposite the Co-op is out of use due to building works, so Stagecoach have put a temporary stop further up the road, in fact closer to the Vale Road stop than the one it's replacing....

"Sand artist Denny Dyke draws crowds to Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint in Bandon, Oregon, with labyrinths raked onto the beach. He estimates that 5,500 people walked the 65 spiral works he and his Circles in the Sand team created in 2016.
Why make labyrinths? They're traditionally a meditation tool, among other uses. Walking one is a time to be quiet, a few moments when you don't have to worry about where you're going.
How is a labyrinth different from a maze? The goal in mazes is to find your way out. They build anxiety, frustration. A labyrinth, with its slow turns, is just the opposite—a single path to (and sometimes through) the center and back out. No dead ends. You walk to the center to get resolution and affirmation, then bring it back out into your life.
How do you create one? After surveying the sand, I use a four-inch rake to start drawing. The detail designer follows my lead, the head groomer fills in voids, and up to eight guest groomers do shading to make the paths pop.
When can I walk a labyrinth? About every other week, I'll be drawing at Face Rock wayside. [See onepath.us for dates.] Visitors take about 15 minutes to walk the full labyrinth, which can be anywhere from a quarter to half a mile.

This is where the gorgeous murciélago SV used to be. (look back in my gallery) Now there is this 458 Italia. Why? The SV needed to be checked due to a technical problem so it's now in Lamborghini Beirut.
But pending its return he just had to choose from one of his many cars in UAE and brought it here :)
