We went to the SCARy FLEA MARKET in the BRAMBEK neighborhood of HAMBURG: There were lots of sellers with lots of scary junk. Unfortunately, there started a light rain which put a damper on the fun.
There among the crap on one table was a naked woman Salt & Pepper holder with the two shakers missing which definately is a SCARY FLEA MARKET item. Right next to it was a box of marbles, so instant breast enhancement surgery, and VIOLA , she was ready for her close-up. There was a bundled up , little old lady in the next stall who saw this little episode and burst out laughing.
One young hunk had a tablefull of stuff and a German traditional Bavarian dress, a dirndl, for sale. The dress was kind of awesome mixed in with hip tshirts & wild , cool items. It didn't look his siye, but you never know...lol
When i found a Harley Davidson cigerette case for $5, I was really happy. But the Liea and the swan statue really won honors for SCARY FLEA MARKET ITEM, especially since someone stuck a NIVEA CREAM jar in her hands.
With wandering through the aisles while jumping over puddles, we dashed in the covered marketplace to find a cool stand with 'tres chic' items and copies of the trendy THE FACE magazines from the 80's. That brought back memories of when it was just a zine. We chatted photography for she handles advertizing photographers.
Right next to her was a stand with wild hats, including a fun Viking hat. Well, how can we resist photo op?
Our first agility tonight after about a year!. It was us, Kozmo (Sheila and Jim), Kaylee (Kelly, Terry & Matt), and a black lab named Bree. Of course Ann was there to help Jeanne. It was fun! Sunny remembered just about everything - I'm the one that needs to brush up...
Kaylee is a natural at agility and you can tell she LOVES it. She flies through that course and you can feel her joy! And Kelly gets such joy from her.
I couldn't help it - I gave in to those beautiful caramel eyes and gave her a bite of chicken. Big mistake! Kaylee LOVES chicken. I can't do that again - don't want to ruin her concentration!
With the Terminal crew still on board Terminal 101 with the Norfolk and Western Y6a number 2156 in tow rolls through WR tower in Granite City IL. The train would stop shortly after this was shot so an NS crew and a barring issue could be resolved. They train would take about three or so hours to do this before continuing on its journey toward Roanoke VA for a cosmetic restoration and a display at the Roanoke Railroad Museum.

We recently had a week’s holiday to take – Jayne’s job dictates my holidays – we went through the usual process of leaving it late and then desperately selecting a shortlist of cities where we thought the weather might be ok, after a reasonably short flight and we can fly from the north of England. Budapest was the chosen destination.
Budapest is touted as possibly the most beautiful city in Europe and we had a stream of people tell us that it was fantastic. It is. I was looking forward to getting there, no agenda other than walking, photographing the sights and trying to get off the beaten track. We certainly walked – over 70 miles – I photographed it ( I’m a bit embarrassed to say how many shots but it was a lot ) but I’m not sure we got off the beaten track as much as I wanted to.
We flew over Eastern England (and home actually – a first for us) and out over Europe. It was a late afternoon flight on a stunning day, one of the more interesting flights I’ve had. I was glued to the window watching the world go by, wondering about all of lives being played out beneath us. It was dark when we arrived. We were staying on the Buda or Castle Hill side of the city. What we didn’t know was, we were staying in one of the most prominent hotels in the city, sat on the hilltop overlooking Budapest. The Hilton sits on an historic sight and features in every photo taken of the Castle District from Pest. We had time to get out before bedtime and photograph the Matthias Church next door – floodlit – like all of the major buildings in Budapest.
Unfortunately after leaving the best weather of the year in the UK, Budapest was forecast to be a bit dull and cool – not what we wanted. There was occasional sun over the first two days but it was generally grey. Now I have to admit, I let the dullness get me down, I took photos because I wasn’t sure how the week would unfold but I was fairly sure that I was wasting my time. The photos would be disappointing and if it was sunny later we would have to revisit all of the famous landmarks again to get something that I was happy with. This is essentially what happened. The next four days were gorgeous and we did revisit, more than once all of the places that we walked to in the first two days. This meant that we didn’t have the time to go “off piste” or venture further afield as much later in the week.
The sun was rising before seven and we were staying in the best location for watching it rise. By day three I was getting up at 6.00 (5.00 our time) and getting out there with my gear. By day four I was using filters and tripod, not something I usually bother with despite always having this gear with me, and dragging it miles in my backpack. One morning I was joined by a large and noisy party of Japanese photographers, they appeared to have a model with them who danced around the walls of the Fisherman’s Bastion being photographed. Once the orange circle started to appear above the city they started clicking at the horizon like machine guns. We all got on well though and said goodbye as we headed off for breakfast – still only 7.15am.
By 8.00am everyday we were out on foot wandering along the top of Castle Hill wondering where to go that day. We tend to discover the sights as we walk on a city break, frequently discovering things as we head for a distant park or building and research it afterwards with a glass of wine. It works for us. We walked out to Heroes’ Square and beyond, returning by less well known streets. We walked along the Danube to Rákóczi Bridge a couple of times then back into Pest using a different route. Having been under the thumb of Russia for so long and considering its turbulent past there are lots of large Russian style monuments, tributes to great struggles, or the working man – very socialist and very much like Prague in a lot of respects. The Railway stations were also very similar to Prague, you could walk across the tracks and no one bothered. In the main station, now famed for the migrant crisis a few weeks previously, there was a mixture of very new and very old rolling stock from the surrounding countries, all very interesting. Considering that this station is the first thing some visitors to the city will see it is an appalling state. One side of the exterior is shored up and fenced off. This contrasts with the expensive renovation work that has been well executed in the city centre. It really is like stepping into the past when you enter the station building. It all seems to work efficiently though, unlike the UK.
Transport in Budapest is fascinating. Trams everywhere, trolley buses, ancient and new, bendybuses, again, very old and very new, the underground metro, yellow taxis in enormous numbers and of course the river and boats. This never ending eclectic mix seems to operate like clockwork with people moved around in vast numbers seamlessly. The trams looked packed at any time of day. Anyone dealing with tourists seemed to speak very good English, which is just as well as we didn’t have any grasp of Hungarian. Cost wise it was a very economical week for us in a capital city.
Once the weather (or light, to be precise) improved, I cheered up and really enjoyed Budapest. A common comment after visiting is that , although you’ve “done Budapest” you wouldn’t hesitate to go back, which isn’t always the case after a city visit. As ever, I now have a lot of work to do to produce a competent album of work. I think I will end up discarding a lot of the early days material – but then again, I’m not renowned for my discarding skills.
Thank you for looking.

A winter storm moved through the Puget Sound region late Friday and early Saturday, bringing additional snow and wind to the region causing widespread outages around our service area, with the heaviest damage in Thurston, Kitsap, and Whatcom Counties and Vashon Island.
At 1:01AM on April 16, 2020, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire in the 12000 block of W Victory Blvd in North Hollywood. The first arriving fire companies found a large, one, story commercial building with fire showing.
An immediate offensive operation ensued; fire attack worked to make entry into the building while the truck company headed to the roof for vertical ventilation. However, approximately 10 minutes into the incident, the lack of progress towards the seat of the fire and concern for the structural integrity of the structure caused the incident commander to order the transition to the defensive mode.
With all crews out of the building and off the roof, master streams were put into place. Ladder pipes and large hand lines poured copious amounts of water into the fire from the exterior. While the bulk of the fire was extinguished approximately one hour into the incident, difficult to reach pockets of fire remained and continued to flare up.
The 8,111 square foot building, built in 1957, was doing business as a ‘dollar store’ and had a significant fire load (amount of contents inside the structure). This environment presented challenges to the firefighters as they worked to safely reach the seat of the fire.
Nearly 100 firefighters, under the command of Assistant Chief Corey Rose, battled through the night. At 3:06AM (two hours and four minutes into the incident), the incident clock was turned off and firefighters continued working to address the remaining hot spots.
LAFD Arson and Counter-Terrorism section responded, per protocol for a fire of this size, to conduct the cause investigation and it remains an active investigation. No injuries were reported.

A storm is not a foe but a proving ground, where grit meets endurance, and the will to move forward becomes the only guide. In the face of blinding snow and biting winds, a soldier’s step falters not, for every stride is a defiance of nature, every breath a testament to resilience.
The mountains bow to no man, but the disciplined march of the steadfast knows no retreat. Through hardship, the soul is forged; through struggle, greatness is claimed.
Looking NW through the shallow cutting at Tytherington, towards the tunnel which is just around the corner, as is the noise of traffic on the M5 motorway above! Off to the left, up in the trees, lies 'The Castle' (or Tytherington Camp), an old British camp (though some say Roman). This cutting was particularly loathed by drivers in autumn due to wet leaves, though they made good use of the snails in the area – roasting them on the firebox!

Yesterday, I learned with the Auto-Takumar 55mm f2, that the lighter parts of objects behind glass "wipe out" the reflections in that glass, but leave reflections elsewhere.
So here is an attempt to take this technique a step further at Chiswick House, five minutes walk from home and a great source of inspiration/luck. This was taken through the glass of the back door of the House, looking across the Hall to the front door. The beautiful gardens, grass, trees, statues etc. are reflected behind me.
