A passenger getting off an Astoria-bound N-train has spotted me and is giving me the victory sign :-)

Queensboro Plaza station...

The Victory Monument is located on 35th and Martin Luther King Jr Drive in the historic district of Bronzeville in Chicago, a few blocks from where I lived for over a decade. Even though many things have changed since I've been gone, it felt good being in a familiar territory. Home is always home.

6:52 Historical

Dan’s Dad had kept this VE Day medal all the children in the neighbourhood received from their local Fire Station. Too lazy to use a tripod I shone a lamp into my cabinet of curiosities where we keep other historical bits and pieces - those are some old salt shakers in the background.

Berlin, Germany

 

Designed by Heinrich Strack, after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Danish-Prussian War, by the time it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873, Prussia had also defeated Austria and its German allies in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), giving the statue a new purpose. Different from the original plans, these later victories in the so-called unification wars inspired the addition of the bronze sculpture of Victoria, 8.3 metres (27 ft) high and weighing 35 tonnes, designed by Friedrich Drake. Berliners have given the statue the nickname Goldelse, meaning something like "Golden Lizzy"

Near the end of our Peninsula lies Victory Bay. There's not much but sealions and penguins out there. Early light on sea spray gave the golden mist this morning. Have a good weekend and thanks for visiting and especially for comments.

The Victory Museum on the Poklonnaya Hill at night. Shot from tripod with standard +2 picture control (latest). It was the latest set I did back in 2020 and the last one to post.

 

Moscow, Russia.

The Seattle to Chicago Z train wastes no time as it flies through Victory, WI on the Aurora Sub, with a warbonnet at the head end. We nearly got cloud dinged here, but got lucky enough to narrowly avoid it. Weird to think that when I took this, it was in the 70s and it almost felt like summer. As of writing this on Halloween, there is snow outside and temps are in the 30s. You really never know what fall will bring in the midwest.

So far, the little miniature rosebush that friends gave us when Dad passed away has had 7 blooms! I have NEVER had any miniature rosebush even survive, much less bloom so lovely!

Victory Monument is a bustling Bangkok intersection with a skywalk and makes for a great location to shoot light trails.

 

Only one problem, tripods are not allowed. But who follows rules :-) Security guard told me NO; I apologized moved a few meters and set up again.

*note: ---

The University of Pittsburgh football team won a close game last night, so the victory lights on top of the Cathedral of Learning are on for the weekend.

I was out in New Jersey over the weekend and took this shot of the Victory Bridge. I had my mini tripod with me (Ultrapod 2) which I always carry in my bag whenever I head out, and took this shot as closest to the water as I could. I also upgraded from the kit lens to a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. I spent the weekend trying it out and testing it's low light performance. So far I'm loving the quality of pictures this lens is producing.

S.S. Lane Victory

San Pedro, CA

11-18-23

 

From Wikipedia:

"SS Lane Victory is an American Victory-class cargo ship used in World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War. The ship was preserved in 1989 to serve as a museum ship in the San Pedro area of Los Angeles, California. As a rare surviving Victory ship, she was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark.

 

SS Lane Victory was named after Lane College, which was established as a high school for black youths in 1882 at Jackson, Tennessee, by Isaac Lane, a bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in America.

 

Lane Victory was built in Los Angeles by the California Shipbuilding Corporation and launched on May 31, 1945. On her first voyage, June 27, 1945, Lane Victory carried war supplies in the Pacific. "

 

The ship was deployed in the Korean and Vietnam Wars and is now a floating museum in the Los Angeles Harbor.

Shot Location:

This is the bow of HMS Victory, which is being refurbished at the Dockyards in Portsmouth, England. She was Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship when he defeated the French fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Would have loved to see her in her entirety.

Talking about Cuba...

It maybe poorer for lack of free trade, but their spirits are high - they still see victory ahead...
