« Une génération qui ignore l’histoire n’a ni passé, ni avenir » (Robert Heinlein)
UN BREF RÉCIT DE VIE
J’ai marché vers
De vieilles cabanes de pêcheurs
Oubliées par le temps
Abandonnées les unes contre les autres
Sur un banc de sable fragile
Face aux vents de tous les horizons
Rêves d’autrefois
Aujourd’hui délaissés
Sans lumière
Sans vibration
Simple curiosité
Offerte à la vue des voyageurs de tous les horizons
J’ai peint un ciel orangé
Pour redonner -
Le temps d’une poésie imagée -
Une brillance chaleureuse
À ces histoires de vie mariées à la mer pour toujours.
Les goélands les raconteront
Par delà tous les horizons.
«Tous les horizons rêvent » (Josephine Bacon, poétesse Innue)

A BRIEF LIFE STORY
I walked towards
Old fishermen's huts
Forgotten by time
Abandoned against each other
On a fragile sandbank
Facing the winds of all horizons
Dreams of the past
Now neglected
Without light
Without vibration
Simple curiosity
Available for travellers from all horizons
I painted an orange sky
To restore -
The time of a pictorial poetry -
A warm shine
To those stories of life married to the sea forever.
The gulls will tell them
Beyond all horizons.
“All horizons dream” (Josephine Bacon, Innu poet)

Forward looking to spring...
I was walking around with my camera when this gentleman passed by me with more speed than this pathway can tolerate. Luckily, nothing happened to him.
At Michigan's Kensington Metropark, there's a boardwalk that's within long-lens range of the rookery where many Great Blue Herons and other water birds build their nests. During early Spring, when nest building is underway, its not uncommon to see a large number of photographers on the boardwalk. Most, if not all, I suspect, are in a quest for that one perfect, immaculate Great Blue Heron photograph...
Well, this one isn't it. But I decided to have some fun with the processing anyway. This heron was carrying a sprig of construction material up to its nest when the photo was taken. But the sky didn't really look like this... :-)
Found along Ethniki Odos Agiou Nikolaou Sitias. Ammoudara, Crete looking north toward Agios Nikolaos. Cliff to the left has about a 15 meter drop.
AZCR 3413, a former SP GP9R, AZCR 2279, a former TPW GP7, and AZCR 2164, an ex-ATSF GP7, wind their way through the hillside downgrade toward Clarkdale with a lengthy train of coal loads and empty cement hoppers to be loaded at the Salt River Materials Group. Near Perkinsville, AZ
After making a run to Honea Path and then picking up twenty or so cars from the Greenville & Western interchange at Belton, a pair of Pickens RR U18Bs head west toward Anderson.
The tiny flower of Purple Masterwort. Growing in dappled shade, the flower seemed to be reaching for the light.
Though there are still some colored leaves on the trees, many of them are already fell off... The winter season has come to Tokyo.
Toward Point Lighthouse is on the southern extremity of the Cowal Peninsula, near the village of Toward and six miles south of Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. There has been a lighthouse here since 1812.
Toward Point Lighthouse was completed in 1812. It was built by Robert Stevenson (1772–1850) for the Cumbrae Lighthouse Trust. Two lighthouse keepers' houses were added in the later 1800s. A white building on the foreshore housed the foghorn mechanism, originally a steam engine and then diesel engines. The foghorn was taken out of operation in the 1990s. The keeper's cottages were sold in 2012 and are now a private home.
Toward Point marks the extreme south-westerly point of the Highland Boundary Fault as it crosses the Scottish mainland. The Highland Boundary Fault does not run through Toward Point, but about one kilometre to the west it can be located on the Toward shore by the presence of Serpentinite and the sudden change from younger sedimentary rocks to much older metamorphic rocks, notably Psammite.
As for ghosts, I didn't see any but I heard the low moan of the long ago dismantled fog horn. A ghostly fart in the gloomy light
