"For the last three years, ProRail, The Eye Association Netherlands (Oogvereniging) and more than 200 Dutch municipalities have worked together to make Dutch train stations accessible to the 350.000 blind or partially sighted people in the Netherlands. On Tuesday, October 31, the task, costing around 30 million euros, was completed.
Measures taken
In order to make NS stations accessible to the blind and partially sighted, more than 90 kilometres of visible and perceptible guidelines have been installed in 410 train stations. The guidelines will ensure that visually impaired people do not lose their way."

Posed street portrait taken for my 100 Strangers project in Glasgow, Scotland.
This picture is #38 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
As you may know by now, while I can happily grab a candid shot of someone close-up, I struggle with the confidence to ask people and this was the reason for starting the 100 Strangers project in the first place - and the reason why I am still only on number 38.
I recognised Naziyah from the work of another Glasgow street photographer and knowing that she has been photographed before gave me the courage to ask if she would pose for a brief shoot in the city. Naz, which she told me to call her, was very happy to pose for some shots and knew the 'drill' of being taken to one side for a more pleasing shot out of the hustle of the street.
Naziyah is an Astrophysicist, Aerospace Engineer and Space Mission Analyst. Born and raised in Glasgow to a Glaswegian mother and a half Saudi father, Naziyah is also a practising martial artist specialising in weaponry and, despite being visually impaired, can swing swords around with impressive precision from the images that I have seen on her website.
In our immediate vicinity was this black hoarding while a building was being renovated and I figured it would be a perfect uncluttered and contrasting backdrop for Naziyah. Captured with natural light only and Naz posing without any direction, the resulting shots are proud additions to my collection.
Naz was deeply encouraging towards me to ask more people for their portraits, I guess she could sense that I find it a little unnerving, and the brief encounter with her was an absolute pleasure. Naziyah radiated a warmth and friendliness that would have put any budding photographer at ease and I offer my sincere thanks to her for taking part in my 100 Strangers project. Naziyah and I swapped email addresses and she intends to post a link to my shot on her Wordpress site: naziyahmahmood.wordpress.com/ and I offer a reciprocal link here.
I hope that Naziyah is pleased with the resulting images and it is great to make another step closer to my 100 Strangers portrait goal. Enjoy!
Talking about the Pentacon 3.5/30 vintage lens. It may be half a century old, but optically it is a true 'generalist'. You can use it for any situation as long as the light is good. I prefer this lens to be wide open, as here. But that is a personal choice.
An Potpurri (french) is a pot with dried plant material, increasing the room smell. This is the same, visually.

Visually appealing for a photographer, but a regrettable loss of another small crumbling piece of history.
Thanks for viewing.

I came across Mecah around town today, and was delighted to snap some photos of him. He's handsome, "and he knows it," according to his mom. Huskies have amazing eyes, accented by the surrounding fur. His fierce looks are visually arresting, but he's really a sweetheart.
- We Don’t See Things As They Are, We See Them As We Are.
Although we look at the same thing, not all of us always see the same thing.
- This song has absolutely nothing to do with the photo, but with my feeling today! You and I can be little heroes today ... by being good people and generous with others! I hope you have a very good Friday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTzcaEpvQec

Nothing is a bit visually spectacular about this photo but I want to share to my friends a little of history that I learned during my recent holiday in Korea.
The picture was taken at the Demilitarized Zone of the two Koreas. There is a conference building at the right side (not seen in pic) where meetings and negotiations are held between the two Koreas. Beyond the yellow line where the North Korea's terrain and territory can be seen, taking photographs are strictly prohibited as maybe part of the agreement. However, at the South's side, picture taking was never a problem. Quite bizarre to me as there was practically nothing to see at the North's side from that point, except for a wide almost frozen river, some dirt roads. vast farm lands and typical countryside terrains.
In what is visually a mix up of heritage, former Canadian Pacific SD40-2F 9017 splits the old CP ABS signals at Tarratine, on the old CP Moosehead Sub... while adorned in Bangor & Aroostook colors. Apparently with their other engines down for various maladies, they were short of power enough to put the freshly repainted 9017 on the point of Job 1 today, instead of waiting for the PR shoot to send it west. The 9017 is leading (and fortunately hiding) LTEX GP35u 2535, and twenty-eight cars, as they head west for Canada.
A view from below of the White Oak climbers at Biidaasige Park, their weathered forms standing out against a bright August sky. Part playground and part sculptural landscape, they are one of the many details that make Toronto’s newest waterfront park so visually interesting.

This type of image has always seemed visually very attractive to me, I know that this is not my best shot but I decided to try this in a new place and this is the result. Looking at the photograph on my computer, I realize that, it seems that I was in the very center of the road taking the photograph, that is the sense that it transmits to me when I see it ... but obviously I was on the bridge, capturing and observing the speed , the lights and that loud noise of cars, trucks, motorcycles ... that great daring of the day to day. I was there between 30 and 45 minutes ... you realize the madness of life that people in general lead, we run to all places, many of the times angry or upset with this or that ... and why ? In my opinion, not at all ... because if you stop to think calmly, everything is much simpler ... but it seems that this great inertia that we carry cannot be stopped!
I hope they are all well and I also hope they do not run as much as everyone I saw go by on this highway!
And remember:
"Speed is not an advantage in a vicious circle"
Thank you very much for your visits, faves and kind comments.
I could visually see the pinkish nitrogen fringe moving west to east. From Spaceweather.com "Pink is hard to make because it requires particles from the sun to penetrate unusually deep into Earth's atmosphere. Most auroras are green, a color that comes from electrons hitting oxygen atoms 100 km to 300 km above Earth's surface. Pink requires those electrons to burrow even deeper, below 100 km, where they can find molecular nitrogen. N2 produces the pink. This "nitrogen fringe" appears only during strong storms with extra-penetrating particles from space."
The visually spectacular red-crested cardinal is hard to miss. Despite the resemblance and common name, the red-crested cardinal is a tanager and not taxonomically classified as a cardinal. Also called the Brazilian cardinal, this South American species was introduced to Hawaii in the 1930s and has become naturalized and abundant. This beauty is commonly observed in urban areas of Oahu, Kauai, and Maui.
These spellbinding caterpillars have so much going on on, visually, but it's all for their elaborate camouflage as they feast on Black-eyed Susan centers, almost unseen and easily overlooked if you aren't purposely looking for them!!
Most small Wisconsin towns feature these visually distinct yet structurally aligned downtown buildings, as the cheapest way to build but able to show some individuality.
Narrow but deep lots would tend to build up around certain gathering spots (churches, railroads) leading to this common downtown look.
Wisconsin tends to be known for "Brick facades, modest ornamentation and cream city block" and of course food, beer, brats and hardware.
Being from California this style of building has long since been abandoned due to our earthquakes, so interesting to see.
PGC 2248 is a ring galaxy in the Sculptor constellation, around 500 million light years from earth.
While this might not necessarily be the most visually stunning object; it’s absolutely fascinating once you consider what it is we’re looking at here. The galaxy contains two rings of material. One surrounding the galactic core and the obvious bright one around the edge of the galaxy. Both rings are interconnected by several “strings”. This is not exactly what you would expect a galaxy to look like in any stage of its lifecycle. So what’s going on here?
A possible explanation could be that PGC 2248 had a head-on collision with a much smaller galaxy (not the two other ones visible in the image). This collision caused a shockwave to propagate from the center outwards (compare it to ripples in a puddle when you drop something in). As this expansion continues, it collides with surrounding dust/gas, triggering a burst of new star formation (resulting in the very bright rings structures).

It thrills me to conceptualize visually things that exist only in my perception. Inevitably this leads down some dark and lonely metaphorical roads. Literally, desolation is a key ingredient. I spend much of my creative time with the camera exploring very lonely places. It heightens situational awareness and makes me keenly aware of the nuance of the environment. There's an element of risk as times. I don't actively pursue it, but thrill to the sense of adventure that ensues when the adrenaline kicks in. Makes me feel very alive. Anyway I'm off on another tangent here. My point is conceptualization of imagination. And a springboard for that is the feeling of an unseen presence I often feel around crop fields. There's some sort of energy there to be sure. Not something that can be gauged on a scientific basis, but we're talking about my mind here, and anything goes. Since childhood I've fantasized about apparitions that exist on one plane that momentarily become visible in our realm. Wraithlike female forms is one of my favorite incarnations. I prefer my terror in beautiful forms that somehow coexist with nature. More subtle than a chainsaw wielding monster, but every bit as terrifying.
Visually it speaks for itself!
The top of the truck's tire is about as high as the cowl of the Triumph sports car. The entire belt line of the truck is higher than the roof of the TR7 by maybe 10-11 inches!
Also compare the Ram to the Tahoe 2-door (1988-2002) next to it!
Happy Truck Thursday!
Spider Rock might be one of the most visually arresting landmarks in the entire National Park Service- a massive stone tower, shining in the sun and surrounded by the walls of an undulating and bending canyon. What a delight.
Much like Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly isn’t just part of the iconic landscape of the American Southwest, it is still a living and breathing and active community within the Navajo Nation- it is the only National Monument that is not on Federal Land, but instead, on Navajo Nation land. Spider Rock, a towering monolith of sandstone in the canyon is believed to be the home of Spider Grandmother, a spiritual figure who gives advice, medicinal cures, and help. Mindfulness of the privilege of being here is the way to go.
Across Utah and Arizona, you are in the Navajo Nation. In Navajo, sacred land is referred to as Diné Bikéyah. This land belongs to the people. Hopitutskwa, Pueblos, and Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute) land is also found across these two states and at archeological sites. It is an honor to see them.
Visually quite a nice diffuse coma through the telescope. Approx mag 6.98 with my DSLR. Visually I made it 7.0. Close approach is 5th June, perihelion is 12th June. 17th June it will be in the FOV of NGC5560, NGC 5566, NGC 5569 (Arp 286) interacting galaxies.

Stacked in DSS, comet mode, stars only and combined in CS5.
A little noisy due to me forgetting to put my dew heater on, passing blobs of cloud and guiding was struggling a little due to both.
Chicken feet are perhaps visually unappealing but they are an incredibly rich source of collagen and are a great addition to your stocks and bone broths. Honor the animal's sacrifice by using the whole carcass.

The visually spectacular red-crested cardinal is hard to miss. Looking like a flame shooting from its head, the red crest is magnificent. This South American species, also called the Brazilian cardinal, was introduced to Hawaii in the 1930s. Despite the resemblance and common name, the red-crested cardinal (Paroaria coronate) is not taxonomically classified as a cardinal.
Excerpt from torontobiennial.org/work/jeffrey-gibson-at-small-arms-ins...:
Jeffrey’s artworks make reference to various aesthetic and material histories rooted in Indigenous cultures of the Americas and in modern and contemporary subcultures. He is known for creating visually rich paintings and sculptures that mix material, saturated colour, pattern, image, and text to celebrate and amplify the voices of individuals and communities both past and present. This way of working, particularly with technically-demanding handwork, is seen through related work by Jeffrey included in the 2022 Biennial. In All You Took, I Gladly Gave (2013), SPEAK TO ME IN YOUR WAY SO I CAN HEAR YOU (2015), and ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL (2015), a wide range of found and repurposed objects—found tipi poles, driftwood, wool, canvas—collide with embellishments that reference Indigenous cultural production, from glass beadwork and nylon fringe to metal jingles and ceramics inspired by Mississippian head pots. ALL FOR ONE ONE FOR ALL, with its riotous assemblages of colour, textures and shapes, was the artist’s first work to explore the pre-Columbian ceramic heads but was also the genesis for his transformational garment pieces—the artist has shared that it was the first time he began to think about garment as sculpture.
Mellow Blue had a severe eye infection when he was a baby and has vision damage as a result, He can see but not very well.
Visually, the world transforms: a soft and muted play
Of shadows bending gracefully, of light that slips away.
A photograph in quiet tones, a shape carved from the air,
A moment made of contrast, drifting weightless, unaware.

The Moon made a striking appearance tonight, still very bright at 96.2% illumination even though it had clearly moved into its waning gibbous phase. It was higher in the sky than during the previous few sessions, reaching 27.01° altitude at the time of imaging and sitting at an azimuth of 117.67° (ESE). The Moon was 383,541 km from Earth, continuing its gradual movement through the lunar cycle following the recent Full Moon.
I kept the DWARF Mini at a gain of 2 and collected another 100 frames for stacking. With so much of the lunar surface still illuminated, the low gain helped keep the intense brightness manageable while allowing surface features to remain visible. The full stack also gave the final image a smoother appearance and helped limit the effects of individual-frame variation.
What stands out at this point is how slowly the change is happening visually. Even with the Moon now waning, it still looks almost completely full at first glance. The difference should become easier to appreciate over the next several nights as the illuminated portion continues to recede and the terminator begins to carve more noticeably into the lunar disk. For now, this was another enjoyable opportunity to record the Moon during this brief transition after full phase.
DDC-Visual Interest
This is a twist on the theme, but it's pretty obvious where Shizandra's visual interest lies.
In this photo, I thoughtfully capture a cluster of pink geraniums, or Pelargonium peltatum, in a natural setting. The composition is fairly tight, focusing on the blooms and a few buds below. The flowers are in sharp focus, while the background is softly blurred, creating a shallow depth of field and adding bokeh. The water droplets on the petals suggest recent rain, adding texture and highlights. The light reflects off these droplets, creating small points of interest. The flowers are slightly off-centre, creating a more dynamic and visually appealing image than a perfectly centred subject. The inclusion of the buds adds a sense of growth, life and joy.
From this perspective, the spoon-bill's left eye appeared to be injured. Some photographers (w/ large zoom lenses) nearby also confirmed the fact as well. Meanwhile, the great white egret seemed to keep an eye on his/her unfortunate friend too.
Have a peaceful day, everyone...
I was presented with my British Empire Medal today by the Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire. It was awarded in Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's final Birthday Honours for my voluntary work helping other blind and visually impaired people to live their lives more fully and independently by helping them select the right technology and then training them to use it. It has been very rewarding, especially over lockdown and the BEM was a huge, delightful surprise.
This is Jackie and me in the gardens of Beaumanor Hall after the presentation. Photo by our daughter, Michelle.

PixNote
Digital painting created from from an original picture.
The image shows a visually striking scene featuring a goddess-like figure seated in a confident pose before a massive, ornate clock adorned with intricate golden designs. The figure is dressed in a dramatic outfit that blends futuristic and ancient aesthetics, including metallic gold armor and an elaborate headdress with fan-like extensions. Her long, wavy hair cascades over her shoulders, and her arms are raised gracefully.
The clock serves as the central backdrop, symbolizing the passage of time, with Roman numerals prominently displayed around its circular face. The structure surrounding the clock is grand, with metallic and gold accents and decorative patterns that evoke a sense of opulence and power. The sky behind the clock is moody, with clouds partially illuminated by sunlight, adding depth and drama to the composition.
The overall vibe is majestic and otherworldly, portraying themes of time, strength, and divinity.
That's what Chat GPT had to say about my sl photo.
I just called it "Happy New Year! Biiiig stretch!"

There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
NB: There was always a lot of speculation about the town referred to in the opening line being Omemee Neil’s childhood town. Neil set the record straight in a 1995 Mojo interview with Nick Kent:
"Well, it's not literally a specific town so much as a feeling. Actually, it's a couple of towns. Omemee, Ontario, is one of them. It's where I first went to school and spent my 'formative' years. Actually I was born in Toronto..."
I love the reference to more of a feeling as opposed to a specific town. Many sights leave us feeling helpless…This was shot just outside of Omemee.

The entire 525 m (1722 ft) of the tunnel was installed with Philips Color Kinetics ColorGraze MX4 Powercore fixtures, transforming the mostly unused railway tunnel into a visually stunning walkway connecting the north and south portals. Grazing fixtures were specifically chosen for the inside of the railway in order to showcase the unique architectural and geological components of the 155 year old tunnel, while ColorBlast Powercore gen4 fixtures were installed at both portals to invitingly illuminate the entrances. The lighting inside the tunnel runs a dynamic “Philips Light Show” 365 days a year, drawing in locals and tourists alike. Citizens can even request custom lightshows for events held on the waterfront.
The Brockville Railway Tunnel was reopened to the public on August 12, 2017 to coincide with the Canada 150 celebrations taking place across the Great White North this year. Already a hotbed of tourist activity in the summer months, the newly restored Brockville Railway Tunnel serves as a perfect gateway between the section of the city known as ‘The Gorge’ and the waterfront, drawing as much as 30,000 more visitors to the downtown area. 1
