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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The monument was opened on January 20, 1974 - on the day of 30th anniversary of the liberation of Novgorod from fascist invaders.

We went somewhere different on our Sunday Walk, out in the open instead of the woodland, it was overcast but still lovely views to be had, my dog Ruby and best friend Heidi had fun too

While photographing the sun rising over Patoka Lake, I heard the sound of birds rustling in the trees above. As I stepped away to get a better angle, I noted this little guy scurrying around the tree jumping frantically from limb to limb. His action/reaction made me think that on this morning, breakfast may be a little more difficult to find.

Just as I drew down on this perfectly preened, not a feather out of place little guy with my lens to get a picture, he did the unthinkable…he jumped head first into a large Tent caterpillar colony! I stood and shivered as the web stretched side to side much like a mothers stomach as the baby rolls in the final days of pregnancy. It wasn’t the worms that bothered me…it was the webs full of caterpillar droppings that freaked me out to my core.

It was then that one of my favorite verses from one of my favorite songs sung as a child in church popped into my head…translating quickly to my tongue as I said aloud the fourth verse to Andy Williams’s song “The Impossible Dream.”

“To fight for the right

without question or pause,

to be willing to march

into hell for a heavenly cause.”

Now I know it was hunger and not a “Heavenly cause,” but in my opinion this little guy jumped into hell without pause. When he emerged some time later, looking like hell but holding victory high in the air, I had to smile and capture the moment. A hard fought victory and breakfast for him, happiness in finding out that something eats Tent caterpillars for me.

Victory.

Thousands of people, mainly representatives of Berlin’s Russian population, met on 9 May 2020 at the Soviet Memorial in Treptower Park, marking 75 years since the Nazis' unconditional surrender. From the early hours of the morning until late in the evening, they commemorated the end of World War II and the countless victims of this devastating war.

There are hardly any veterans left who could tell about their wartime experiences. In the meantime, their grandchildren have taken over the conductorship in these celebrations, some of them with touching gratefulness and respect, some others in a rather playful tune. But there are also several illustrious and disconcerting individuals and groups who, under the guise of commemoration, are spreading nationalist, history-distorting and war-glorifying slogans. In the emotionally charged memory of a day when peace returned to Europe, they scatter the seeds of new conflicts and confrontations.

My photo story "Victory Day" documents an experience between emotion and scepticism, between grateful remembrance and exuberant party atmosphere.

Adapted from the full size figure of Victory on Saint Gaudens's equestrian monument to the Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman (1892-1903;Grand Army Plaza) this winged allegorical figure is pictured as a triumphant guiding post.Her classicizing gown is emblazoned with an a eagle,and she wears a crown of Laurel and holds a palm frond traditional emblems of victory.The windblown pose recalls that of the Hellenistic marble Nike of Samothrace.The principal model for victory was Hettie Anderson,an African American woman who was a favored artists' model in New York during the 1890s.

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.
