Lyon - Croix-rousse

Actually victory was short lived for this nosy tree swallow. At White Lake, the bluebirds share airspace with other types of birds and this morning there were plenty of tree swallows circling about. While the bluebirds were off gathering supplies this one thought a little investigation was in order. It flew about, looked inside the nest box and then perched on top, sounding the call of victory. It's victory was short lived, the bluebirds returned and off the swallow went!

This is actually three different frames that I superimposed to make this image. The center shot is the original and I added the frame to the right and to the left. The three individual shots are pretty nice but I think the combined shot tells the story a bit better.

Happy Wing Wednesday!

Montagne Sainte-Victoire

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.

The Winged Victory of Samothrace, or the Niké of Samothrace is one of the most famous statues in the Louvre - an incredible masterpiece of Greek sculpture from the Hellenistic era, dating from the beginning of the 2nd century BC.

Holga ist auch schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Wenn es sehr kalt ist, funktionieren weder der Verschluss zuverlässig, noch meine eingefrorenen Finger. Wie auch immer, hier gab es offensichtlich eine Doppelbelichtung. Eigentlich ein Fall für den Mülleimer, andererseits sah das Negativ so ungewohnt schön schmuddelig aus.

The Holga is also getting a bit long in the tooth. When it's very cold, neither the shutter works reliably, nor do my frozen fingers. However, there was obviously a double exposure here. Actually a case for the rubbish bin, but on the other hand the negative looked so interestingly grubby.

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.

We met at a sky garden in the Northshore area. Was there waiting to take pics of the sunset and these two were also there waiting to view the sunset. We started chatting and found out that they are foreigners working in Singapore as household maids. They are very nice girls and socially, very responsible. I noticed, at the sky garden, whenever they saw some rubbish thrown by other people, they will clear the rubbish into a bin nearby. I asked them about their action and both replied that they dislike seeing rubbish everywhere in such a nice place. Of course, I praised them of their good character. Now, where can you find such great people?
