not sure about the texture on this one.. I'll post the original in the comments as well for comparison.
have a sunny day, my friends!
Shot at a random street of Jaisalmer. Liked the way the old man and his pet were warming up in a winter morning

"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth." - Psalm 121:1-2.
There are many modern versions of the English Bible, but in this passage from that ancient Hebrew songbook, the most poetic one comes from the old King James Version.
I'll leave the imagery of this photograph to work on your subconscious. But just a few thoughts to help.
1. The Book of Psalms may well be the most comforting AND disquieting collection of songs ever written (outside the Dylan songbook ;-) ).
2. In the ancient world, across all cultures, people looked to the mountains as the place of the gods. And beyond the mountains, the sky - the ultimate heavenly abode.
3. Do not dismiss such intuitions lightly. Of course no God or Heaven exists in the sky (although I am loath to dismiss the view that high mountains are still the province of the divine). But there is truth in the psychology that looking up is an acknowledgement of Transcendence.
4. When Victor Frankl was in a Nazi concentration camp the thing that kept him alive was the belief that life had a meaning, and that meaning had to do with a purpose or reason for living. He had to engage his mind or literally die. So he began daily reconstructing his doctoral thesis in his head. Piece by piece, the words came together, and the words saved his life. He called this new therapeutic approach, Logotherapy. You may have heard of it.
5. To be really alive - I mean not just breathing, but feeling the very marrow of life (as Walt Whitman put it), we need to have a reason for living. Whatever that is, it must drive you. Don't worry a jot about what other people think. This is YOUR life. Dedicate it to something significant! Otherwise, what is the point of ever existing?

With dismay after finding the CNW Depot at Ames now covered in countless air conditioner condensers, fencing and weeds; I opted to re-create a shot I'd done the last time steam was in Ames.
Special thanks to that lady for running into the scene at the very last second, forcing me to relocate and recompose. She probably got a great cell phone photo.
These heels make me feel so sexy...! What is it about heels that makes us so crazy? Do GGs get the same kick - the same sense of power, yet vaunrability?

Unexpected 3 day weekend for a number of reasons so why not go somewhere unexpected? Hit up Athens Georgia today (home of the University of Georgia) and walked around. The staircase in the garage we parked in was cool. Got yelled at by security guard for "loitering" taking pictures so told the guy one more shot and then decided to pull out the tripod and go HDR a few times. Got a dirty look as I walked away but got a cool shot too, so win-win.
