Als ich Anfang 2017 die Canisius-Kirche in Berlin besuchte, fiel mir das Altarbild "Golden Field" auf. Beim Nachlesen auf der Internetseite erinnerte ich mich, dass ich irgendwann goldene Vierecke in U/S-Bahn-Stationen gesehen hatte, ohne zu wissen, in welchen Zusammenhang sie gehörten.
Dieses hier fand ich schnell wieder. Es ist in Gebrauch.
Im April 2017 habe ich gesehen, dass es nun gelungen ist, die Reste im U-Bahnhof Zoo, wo ich das Bild gemacht habe, zu entfernen.
Der Künstler Winfried Muthesius hat für die Canisius-Kirche in Berlin ein goldenes Feld als Altarbild gestaltet. Zum ökomenischen Kirchentag 2003 hat er in 14 U- und S-Bahn-Bahnhöfen "Golden Fields" an Wänden und Stützen angebracht. Die Felder überstanden Reinigungsversuche und sind zum Teil und in unterschiedlichem Zustand noch heute zu sehen.
Hier gibt es die Serie "Golden field" zu sehen:

When I visited the Canisius-Church in Berlin in early 2017, the altarpiece "Golden Field" occurred to me. Looking on the website, I remembered that I had seen golden fields in metro-stations without knowing what they belonged.
This one I found quickly. It is in use.
The artist Winfried Muthesius has designed a golden field for the Canisius church in Berlin. In 2003 he installed "Golden Fields" on walls and columns in 14 metro-stations. The fields have survived cleaning attempts and can still be seen today, partly and in different conditions.
Im April 2017 habe ich gesehen, dass es nun gelungen ist, die Reste im U-Bahnhof Zoo, wo ich das Bild gemacht habe, zu entfernen.
In April 2017 I saw that it has now succeeded to remove the remains in the subway station Zoo, where I took the picture.
There are certainly countless motifs that can be used to symbolize the new beginning of a year. A sunrise outside in nature (in this case on the Hoher Schneeberg in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains) is my favorite.
In both cases we are on a path that leads us into a new phase of life. A path that is only known to us to a certain extent and where a big surprise (or challenge) can be waiting for us around the next bend.
Now you could object that a day is just a day and in comparison a year must be much more significant. I would like to show you why I don't quite see it that way.
On the one hand, this assessment is based on our standards, which are based on a human life. If we look at it from the perspective of the lifespan of the universe, a year is just as insignificant as a day (basically the effects of neither are noticeable).
On the other hand, a single day, a single decision is enough to fundamentally change our own world in every conceivable direction.
So what if we didn't wait for a specific date every year to realize where we want to go, but could use every single day of the year to do so?
Our creative possibilities would increase many times over and we would have so much more room for directional corrections. We could learn, try things out and gain experience without having to ask the fundamental question every time.
With this in mind, I wish you all a good start and an exciting and fulfilling journey.
Because today is the first day of the rest of all of our lives.
Es gibt ganz sicher unzählige Motive, mit denen man den Neubeginn eines Jahres symbolisieren kann. Ein Sonnenaufgang draußen in der Natur (in diesem Fall auf dem Hohen Schneeberg im Elbsandsteingebirge) ist mein Favorit.
In beiden Fällen befinden wir uns auf einem Weg, der uns in einen neuen Lebensabschnitt führt. Ein Weg, der uns nur bis zu einem gewissen Grad bekannt ist und auf dem hinter der nächste Kurve eine große Überraschung (oder auch Herausforderung) auf uns warten kann.
Jetzt könntet Ihr einwenden, dass ein Tag ja nur ein Tag ist und im Vergleich dazu ein Jahr doch viel bedeutender sein muss. Ich möchte Euch aufzeigen, warum ich das nicht ganz so sehe.
Zum einen fusst diese Einschätzung auf unsere auf ein Menschenleben ausgerichteten Masstäbe. Betrachten wir das ganze aus Sicht der Lebensspanne des Universums ist ein Jahr genau so unbedeutetend wie ein Tag (im Grunde sind die Auswirkungen beider nicht spürbar).
Andererseits genügt ein einziger Tag, eine einzige Entscheidung um unsere eigene Welt grundlegend zu verändern und das in jede nur denkbare Richtung.
Wie wäre es also, wenn wir nicht jedes Jahr auf ein spezielles Datum warten würden um uns bewusst zu machen, wohin wir gehen wollen, sondern dafür jeden einzelnen Tag des Jahres nutzen könnten?
Unsere gestalterischen Möglichkeiten würden um ein vielfaches steigen und wir hätten so viel mehr Raum für Richtungskorrekturen. Wir könnten lernen, probieren und Erfahrungen sammeln ohne jedes Mal die Grundsatzfrage stellen zu müssen.
In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Euch allen einen guten Start und eine spannende sowie erfüllende Reise.
Denn heute ist der erste Tag vom Rest unser aller Leben.

A vintage display in the middle of the country west of Milledgeville,IL. This is on the property of an Illinois centennial farm. Have a great truck Thursday all and pray for rain-no rain in my area for almost 3 weeks! Couldn't get my planting done till early June because it was too wet and it hasn't rained since.I guess you can't mess with Mother Nature! LOL
This farmer ran a local filling station for many years as well,thus the Mobil memorabilia...
that if I could climb up one side of a rainbow and slide down the other side, there would be a pot of gold at the bottom.
For ODC I Used
I used to want to grow up
I thought that I could be free
But now I'm realizing
It's cool, it ain't for me
It's cool, cause all my dreams
Are more than possibilities
I get so vicious
When I don't feel delicious
I just need a friend
So much to carry
These days are kinda scary I don't want the fun to end

La Puerta de Alcalá es una de las cinco antiguas puertas reales que daban acceso a la ciudad de Madrid (España).
Se encuentra situada en el centro de la rotonda de la Plaza de la Independencia, diseñada por el urbanista Ángel Fernández de los Ríos en el año 1778. En el cruce de las calles de Alcalá, Alfonso XII, Serrano y Salustiano Olózaga, junto a las puertas del Retiro: Puerta de España, Puerta de la Independencia (entrada principal a los jardines del Retiro) y Puerta de Hernani.
La puerta daba acceso a aquellos viajeros que entraban antiguamente a la población desde Francia, Aragón o Cataluña. En la actualidad es una puerta monumental que se encuentra ubicada junto a la Fuente de Cibeles y el Parque del Retiro. Fue construida por mandato de Carlos III en sustitución de otra puerta anterior que existía ya desde el siglo XVI. El diseño y obra pertenece al arquitecto italiano Francesco Sabatini. Compitieron con Sabatini otros proyectos por parte de arquitectos españoles: Ventura Rodríguez y de José de Hermosilla, siendo finalmente elegido personalmente por el Rey el diseño de Sabatini.
Se trata de una puerta de estilo neoclásico y aspecto monumental similar a los Arcos de Triunfos romanos, se erigió mirando su exterior a oriente en el año 1778. La puerta ha sido posteriormente restaurada en cinco ocasiones en más de dos siglos de existencia, siendo la última a finales del siglo XX. La originalidad de su fábrica consiste en ser el primer arco de triunfo construido en Europa tras la caída del Imperio romano, siendo precursor de otros como el Arco de Triunfo de París y la Puerta de Brandeburgo en Berlín.
Ha sufrido desde sus comienzos diversas transformaciones urbanísticas en su entorno. Pasando de ser la frontera exterior de Madrid, a un centro turístico de obligado paso que aparece insertada casi en el medio de la misma ciudad. Este cambio se ha debido al ensanche del siglo XIX a lo largo del barrio de Serrano y la prolongación de la calle de Alcalá. Finalmente es desde 1976 considerado por el Estado Español como un Monumento Histórico-Artístico, extendiendo su categoría a la misma Plaza de la Independencia.
La puerta ya desde su ubicación final fue adquiriendo desde finales del siglo XVIII relevancia en el pueblo madrileño, y a finales del siglo XIX era ya uno de sus iconos más característicos que aparece en numerosas ilustraciones de la ciudad. Al ser uno de los monumentos más representativos, en su doble condición de mirada hacia el interior de la ciudad y al exterior de la misma. la Puerta de Alcalá ha servido como soporte para todo tipo de manifestaciones políticas y artísticas y en sus inmediaciones se han producido numerosos hechos históricos.
English
The Puerta de Alcalá ("Alcalá Gate") is a Neo-classical monument in the Plaza de la Independencia ("Independence Square") in Madrid, Spain. It stands near the city center and several meters away from the main entrance to the Parque del Buen Retiro. The square is bisected by Alcalá Street, although the street itself doesn't cross through the monument, and it is the origin of the Alfonso XII, Serrano and Olózaga streets. Its name originates from the old path from Madrid to the nearby town of Alcalá de Henares.
Madrid in the late 18th century, still remained a somewhat drab villa in appearance, surrounded by medieval walls. Around the year 1774, king Charles III commissioned Francesco Sabatini to construct a monumental gate in the city wall through which an expanded road to the city of Alcalá was to pass, replacing an older, smaller, gate which stood nearby. It was inaugurated in 1778.

I used to walk by this street very often, but since the new MRT line started last winter, I changed my daily route to another alley: www.flickr.com/photos/shangpc/albums/72157651625181588
That day I was in a hurry to go to a family lunch gathering, saw this scene on the way without my camera in hand. After the lunch, I went straight home, grabbed my camera, and returned to this location. Fortunately, nothing was changed.
The owner of the prosthetic leg was about ten meters away on a wheel chair, selling chewing gums. He asked if I were a reporter. He said he does not need report, nor help from the government or anyone. He just lost his leg a few months ago, things had been tough, but he thought as long as he can sell 40 gums a day, he can support himself no problem.
I thanked him for allow me to take pictures, wished him good luck and left, but didn't ask why he had to put the leg so far away from himself.
A few days later, I bumped into him again, this time I asked him why, and his answer was quite amusing. He said he is sick and tired of looking at the leg, that's why. But once he putted it further away, about triple the distance as it is now, a janitor came by and thought someone dumped it, then tried to carry it away, so he had to chase the janitor (on his wheel chair). Therefore it appears the way it is now: far enough, but not too far.
這張是我入圍2016年邁阿密街頭攝影比賽（MSPF 2016）決選的作品。
那天我正要去參加一個午餐聚會，半路上在我家附近看到這個景象，很想拍下來，但相機不在手上。吃完飯我直接回家，抓了相機再回到這裡，幸好一切都沒變。
義肢的主人，坐在離這裡大約十米的一個輪椅上，正在賣口香糖。他看到我手拿相機，問我是不是記者，他說他不需要報導，也不需要政府補助。幾個月前他才因為工作，失去了左腿，但最困難的時間已經過去。他算過了，只要一天能賣四十條口香糖，就可以自力更生，不需要別人幫助。
我表明自己不是記者，於是他同意讓我拍。拍完之後，我向他道謝，也祝他順利安康，但離開之後才想起，忘了問他為何要把那條義肢放那麼遠？
過兩天再看到他，義肢仍是同樣擺法，我又上前跟他聊了一下，這次沒忘了問他為什麼。他的回答很妙：他說因為剛截肢，不知為何，很討厭看到那條假腿，所以眼不見為淨。一開始他來這裡時，義肢擺得更遠，在這堵圍牆的另一端，離他大約有三十公尺。但有次來了一個清潔隊員，以為是誰不要的，要把它拿去丟，他只好飆著輪椅去追回來，所以現在才擺成眼前這個樣子：有點遠，但又不會太遠。

Prairie hawks, continued...
It is unusual to see a hawk perched on something "natural" in my area, given the countless fence posts and power poles here. But there it was: an adult Swainson's Hawk on a rock. I slowed the rolling red Toyota blind to a stop; it didn't fly away. Nice, soft light. And then it turned its head... just so... looking at me with one eye while looking back over its shoulder with the other.
I continued up the hill, around the bend, down the hill... where I did not find anything especially interesting. So, back up the road, and the hawk was still there. I stopped again; more shots. But the first was the best.

This boardwalk used to lead you to another walking trail at Mission Marsh Conservation area. A severe storm hit the area in 2019, heavy winds and rain knocked over trees. It destroyed part of the boardwalk. They had to decide whether to whether to remove the whole boardwalk. They decided not to replace the damaged area and blocked the boardwalk off.

There use to be over a dozen cats in this part of the park but because of a group of ladies who loved them, fed them and got them adopted families there are only 4 left!! :) The ladies are still there taking care of the last 4!!

The train is a green Pullman carriage that was armored and weighed 83 tons. Stalin used the train for travel starting in 1941, including trips to the Yalta and Tehran Conferences. Stalin had a phobia about flying so instead he travelled from place to place in the Soviet Union using this train carriage. The train was recovered from the railway yards in Rostov-on-Don in 1985 and is now on display at the Stalin Museum in Gori, Georgia.

The greater flameback (Chrysocolaptes guttacristatus) also known as greater goldenback, large golden-backed woodpecker is a common, four-toed, large-billed, golden-backed woodpecker found in wet tropical and subtropical forests across South and Southeast Asia.
This is a large woodpecker, at 33 cm in length. It is of typical woodpecker shape, and has an erect crest and a long neck. it always has unmarked golden-yellow to dark brown back and wings. The rump is red and the tail is black. The underparts are white with dark markings (chevrons, stripes, or bands), or light brown. The head is whitish with a black pattern, or it is yellow, brown, or red. The straight-pointed bill is longer than the head, and the legs have four-toed zygodactyl feet (two toes pointing forward, two backward) and are lead-grey in color. The eyes' irises are whitish to yellow. The adult male greater flameback always has a red crown. Females have a crown color varying between subspecies, such as black spotted with white, yellow, or brown with lighter dots. Young birds are like the females, but duller, with brown irises.
This flameback is a species associated with a diversity of rather open forest habitat, such as found in the foothills of the Himalayas; it also inhabits mangrove forest. Like other woodpeckers, the greater flameback uses its bill to dig out food from trees, and its zygodactyl feet and stiff tail to provide support against tree trunks. The long tongue can be darted forward to extract wood-boring arthropod prey; while mainly feeding on small invertebrates, greater flamebacks also drink nectar. They nest in tree holes, laying three or four white eggs.
