Beings are numberless; I vow to awaken with them.
Delusions are inexhaustible; I vow to release them.
The Dharma gates are endless; I vow to enter them.
The Way is unsurpassable; I vow to embody it.

This is the closest thing I have to Christmas decorations. I'm not against the holiday: my husband and I just don't decorate. Saves on cleaning up later. :)
When we lived in Connecticut, we had the loveliest neighbors. Dieter and Linda grew up in Germany during WWII--in what became East Germany. Somehow, they managed to be in West Germany at the right time. Dieter trained as a baker, Linda as a seamstress. Eventually, they ended up in Connecticut and owned a very successful bakery. They had long retired by the time we moved in next door. When we moved to California, they gave us this lovely little set of angels, which came from Germany.
Dieter and Linda are some of the best people you could get to know. And not just for the baked goods.
Happy Holidays to all my Flickr friends! Because of the upcoming holidays, I will be off and on Flickr--probably more off. So take care, and I will catch up in the New Year!
The largest electricity generating plant in the world. Though this controversial dam across the Yangtze river was built primarily for flood management.
Three different takes on a red, front engined double decker with LT RM121 carrying the reg SSL 806 (I'm sure that's not the original) along with Barton AEC Regent 854 FNN (again, with non-original registration) and Northampton Corporation Daimler CVG6 ANH 154, which is the correct registration for this vehicle!

The enormous Hitachi 1200 drops another load into a Caterpillar 740. It can fill the dump truck's 30 yard bucket with about three good scoops.

A Red, Red Rose:
O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the Melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.
by Robert Burns
An auto rickshaw or three-wheeler (tuk-tuk, trishaw, auto, rickshaw, autorick, bajaj, rick, tricycle, mototaxi, or baby taxi in popular parlance) is a usually three-wheeled cabin cycle for private use and as a vehicle for hire. It is a motorized version of the traditional pulled rickshaw or cycle rickshaw. Auto rickshaws are an essential form of urban transport in many developing countries, and a form of novelty transport in many Eastern countries.

Three little piggies, standing on a bench, minding their own business. But who is that lurking in the background?

Seen in the Montana Auto Museum in Deer Lodge. This museum was once known as the Towe Ford Collection. Towe had tax trouble and had to sell his cars, but friends bought many of them at auction and put them back into the museum.
These tri-five cars were not part of that collection, but there sure are a lot of them. All the cars on display are very nice examples. Unfortunately, space is tight and they are displayed as if in a parking garage.
The museum is in part of an old prison, which is very famous for being haunted. All the ghost searchers have been here. I did not take the prison tour.
...and only 2203 more to go before Amtrak #7 arrives in Seattle, WA. Four deadheading Superliners are tucked in behind the pair of P42s as they pass Tower A2.
An interesting garden/park that features these cute little curved bridges spanning the small pond. Lots of turtles and fish inside for kids to terrorize.

Three enormous bronze swords stand monument to the battle of Hafrsfjord in the year 872, when Harald Hårfagre (Fairheaded Harald) united Norway into one kingdom. The monument was designed by Fritz Røed (1928 - 2002) from Bryne, just south of Stavanger. It was unveiled by Norway's King Olav in 1983.
The swords, which are about 10 meters tall, stand for peace and unification. One sword is larger than the others. This was Fairheaded Harald's sword. The swords are planted in solid rock - representing peace.
The swords can be found at Møllebukta which is a bay area on the southern shore of Hafrsfjord. The name "Møllebukta" derives from "mølla" (mill) and "bukt (bay). There used to be a corn mill here. Today the area is one of Stavangers most popular recreational areas.
