Hello dear friends.
I´m on my feet again , slowly , slowly, I'll be back.
A lot of training right now, and it's hard to sit at the computer.
But I'm glad that finally I'll soon have two healthy knees to go with it.
Thanks for all the encouraging greetings.

Gipsy, the little kestrel from Schloss Harburg trains his wings. Even if he can't fly yet, he keeps holding them up in the wind to feel the air currents that will soon carry him up into the sky.
Soon he will be hovering over the fields in this stance, keeping an eye out for unwary mice.
By the way, kestrels are the only birds of prey (that I know of) that can fly on the spot because of their low weight, the shape of theit feathers and their special flight technique. This technique is called windhovering flight. Buzzards sometimes try it too, but none masters it as perfectly as the kestrel.
Gipsy, der kleine Turmfalke von Schloss Harburg trainiert seine Flügel. Auch wenn er noch nicht fliegen kann so hält er sie doch immer wieder in den Wind um die Luftströhmungen zu fühlen, die ihn bald in den Himmel tragen werden.
Bald wird er in dieser Haltung über den Felder schweben um nach unvorsichtigen Mäusen Ausschau zu halten.
Turmfalken sind übrigens auf Grund ihres geringen Gewichtes, der Form ihrer Federn und ihrer besonderen Flugtechnik die einzigen Raubvögel (von denen ich weiß) die auf der Stelle fliegen können. Diese Technik nennt sich Rüttelflug. Auch Bussarde versuchen sich manchmal darin, doch keiner beherrscht es so perfekt wie der Turmfalke.

I popped down Loch Eilt to a location where I could look across at the Fort William to Mallaig line. Quickly I saw I hadn't got the right day. I need the waters to be flat calm to get a nice reflection. And some nice light on the hills would help. The train, the Jacobite, was only slightly late but when it came, horror of horrors it was an old diesel relic pulling the train, and not a famous Black Five.........todays' train, no steam or smolke, definitely couldn't be called the Hogwart's Express. I tried imagining how many passengers would be disappointed the steam engine had been replaced with a diesel: it's just not the same.
So I had decided on a two frame stitched pano shot but that went wrong too! I seem to have cut off the end of the train in 'merging' the images. So with a steam train, streaming smoke and steam against the mountains, reflected on still waters it might have looked something, but...not today! At least I don't have to travel far for another try, but I can't predict what the conditions are like on the other side of the mountains from home!
Training because I am constantly learning to take pictures, but this time I went further and did two poses to make this photo with the collaboration of my friend Mary.
The photo was inspired by one that my dear daughter Coco (+) took some years ago.

A bit of a challenge, and a departure for me. A combination of mixed lighting, incandescents, skylights, and some bounced flash off of gray walls made for some "interesting" white balance fun, I had to crank the ISO up to 2500 and pictures shot that high on this old 2004 designed Canon body tend to fall apart. I used the new de-noise feature in ACR, it did a commendable job, but it took around 35 minutes per picture to accomplish. Then there was the issue with moving subjects, definitely not my forte!

This cute little puppy is seven weeks old and ready to go in training for his beautiful job: an assistancedog.
During our walks with the dogs we make some excersises from time to time. It was a very misty day. The first photo with the Walimex Pro 135/2...

Es ist kalt, es liegt Schnee (wenigstens ein wenig). Was macht man draußen? Überlebenstraining! Man kuschelt. Dicht an dicht! So wie diese Schäfchen. Die Schafe haben noch nicht einmal einen "Knopf" im Ohr!
Da ging mir das Herz auf. Ich musste sagen: Wunderbar diese Schöpfung. Genial!
It's cold, there is snow (at least a little). What do you do outside? Survival training! One cuddles. Close together! Just like these little sheep. The sheep don't even have a "button" in their ear!
There my heart went up. I had to say: Wonderful this creation. Genius!

Here's another oldie from the archives and the caption I wrote when originally shared on RP:
This is odd looking little mixed train is used for student training out on the isolated and little used Ft. Richardson classification yard. The twin geeps are used to practice switching with newly hired brakeman, and the dome coach is used as a fancy taxi between the base trackage and ARRC's Anchorage Yard office. The lone flat car carries an emergency response command center container that is outfitted with refrigerators and a microwave and tables and other conveniences to provide a break room and lunch area for the trainers and students.
This view looks compass east on the base as GP38-2 2002 (ex BAP 109 blt. Nov. 1978) leads the little train around an s-curve on the Fort Rich yard lead enroute back to the ARR mainline at MP 119.8 just north of the Davis Hwy. crossing. The tan buildings in the background is home to D Company, Anti-Terrorism Battalion, 4th Marine Division, and comprises the sole Marine Corps mission unit stationed in Alaska.

The Australian Maritime College (AMC) was founded in 1980 and is based in Newnham near Launceston, Tasmania. At Beauty Point they have two training vessels and this is where all the practical work for students is carried out. You can see a group of students here piloting a tender vessel as it moves around the training ship, MV Stephen Brown.
Taken at the HBF arena Netball courts. These courts are a spot i frequently visit on my sunday morning skateboarding run. This time there was a young lady there who had just set up some aids for her training. I loved the shape and colour of these mini hurdles as they contrast so well with the courts and the building behind.
