Well Christmas is forever getting nearer….Which has led to dispute here, as to what we are going to put in our letter to Santa this year…..As it was felt that I was asking too much, and not leaving much room in the letter for anyone else to put in what they were asking for….and it does not end there, as we are doing a secret Santa…..Where as I was hoping to buy a group present for all of the CraZyGang and Di as one (as I seem to be a bit hard up at the moment), and I, to get a present from each and every one….Well it seem fair to me…..But because there are those among up who disagree with that….It has been decided to go for a vote in order to resolve the disagreement…..Which against the odds, considering I was doing the counting, went against me….But I have demanded a recount of votes and taken legal action to allow late postal votes to be counted…..So you see dear reader, it essential you get your vote posted, marked with a big X for me, and don’t worry….I feel really confident about the result of the recount…..Although I have to say that it is of concern on how relaxed and laid back Duffy the Bear Jazz Halo and Millie look about the recount ….It’s almost as they know that your vote will go for them….But that’s laughable….As that is never going to happen is it…No….But do you know what, I just cannot get rid of that nagging doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

move quickly, otherwise you will at least get wet ... !

diesen Kommentar habe ich heute Morgen Petra geschrieben und er passt auch hier ...
In Germany, we can speak of a comprehensive weather record since 1881. Since this period, there has never been a year as rainy as 2024.
Flooding of large areas is accumulating and causing major damage (throughout Europe) and causing people to die ...
The severe hurricane "Beryl" has made its way through the Caribbean. According to the US hurricane center NHC, it has been downgraded to the second-highest category 4. Accordingly, the hurricane with wind speeds of up to 250 kilometers per hour is now just below the threshold for category 5.
Never before has there been a hurricane of this strength so early.
Normally there are around 6 hurricanes in the season. This time, meteorologists are expecting up to 13 cyclones.
The seas are too hot. How long will it stay like this?
And in the US, voters are ready to elect a liar and criminal and climate change denier like Donald Trump, whose plans to dismantle democracy have long been known. I'd rather vote for a Biden, even in the ICU, because he has a passable surrogate.
I can no longer understand our friends, the Americans, at the moment.
In Deutschland kann man von einer Flächendeckenden Wetteraufzeichnung seit 1881 sprechen. Seit diesem Zeitraum gab es noch nie ein so regenreiches Jahr, wie 2024.
Überflutungen von großen Flächenbereichen häufen sich und richten große Schäden an (in ganz Europa) und lassen Menschen sterben ...
Der schwere Hurrikan "Beryl" hat sich auf seinem Weg durch die Karibik begeben. Wie das US-Hurrikanzentrum NHC mitteilte, wurde er zur zweithöchsten Kategorie 4 heruntergestuft. Demnach liegt der Wirbelsturm mit Windgeschwindigkeiten von bis zu 250 Kilometern pro Stunde nun knapp unterhalb der Schwelle zur Kategorie 5.
Noch nie gab es so früh einen Wirbelsturm dieser Stärke.
Normalerweise gibt es ca. 6 Wirbelstürme in der Saison. Diesmal rechnen die Meteorologen mit bis zu 13 Wirbelstürmen.
Die Meere sind zu aufgeheizt. Wie lange wird das so bleiben?
Und in den USA sind die Wähler bereit einen Lügner und Kriminellen und Klimaveränderungs-Leugner wie Donald Trump zu wählen, dessen Pläne, die Demokratie aufzulösen längst bekannt sind. Da würde ich lieber einen Biden, selbst auf der Intensiv-Station wählen, denn der hat eine passable Stellvertreterin.
Ich kann unsere Freunde, die Amerikaner, im Moment nicht verstehen.

First things first. I need your VOTE for this shot in the Alaska Railroad's 2022 calendar contest that is ongoing now through January 20th. If you have a Facebook account please click here to vote for this shot:

But I figured I should put this image on Flickr to since this shot is unquestionably my favorite of all time. And with it in the contest I must of course share the story behind it.
As I shared in my earlier post here from 2011, the Hurricane Gulch Bridge was my personal "holy grail" of photography in Alaska. After finally finding the spot and carving a trail in, I continued to return over the intervening five years and really got all kinds of trains in different seasons. But, the problem with my secret spot is that it is only a morning shot because you are shooting due west toward the the bridge. Getting to one of the ridges west of the bridge was simply impossible. There was no trail and to bushwhack that far and find an open spot (that may not even exist) was something that I knew I could never accomplish.
But as the years passed technology developed and "drones" started to become more and more common among my fellow photographers and railfans. In the early summer of 2016 a generous spouse surprised we with a Phantom 4. I took the time to learn how to use and and grow more and more confident and by the end of the summer I finally had the courage to risk it and try for the "THE" shot.
On Monday the 19th of September the final Hurricane Turn of the season made it's trek north from Talkeetna to its namesake bridge to turn back for the last time until the following May. The fall colors were spectacular so I made the long trip from Anchorage, hiked in my secret trail a mile off the highway, and waited. The train was late this day and I had no cell service so couldn't call the chief dispatcher and radio chatter was light.
But just before packing up I heard them on the radio and got the drone ready. Taking off from my secret camp site on the ridge was a bit challenging given the small hole in the trees above, and the flight to the other side of the bridge was a rather long and nerve wracking 2/3 of a mile. But the flight was a success and this is just one of many of shots it yielded....but unquestionably my favorite.
I had been shooting trains in Alaska for nine years at this time, and this shot was truly a dream come true! It just all came together this day. I honestly only wanted a drone for this one shot.....and I pulled it off! So no matter what I post here in the future the king has been crowned and this image will reign at the top for all time.
A large shimmering metal print hangs proudly in my house. A reminder of a day for the ages!

Music & the devices we have invented to listen to it are amazing discoveries/inventions that humankind has created. I know music makes me smile. :)
In 1877 the first phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison. The phonograph was the first method of recording and playing back sound. This was Edison's first great invention. Thanks Thomas Edison you helped millions of people smile and not just on Saturdays.
Coburg, Victoria
Australia voted on Saturday (3 May) and the ruling Labor Government was returned with a substantially increased majority.
There is a lot of colour and movement at our polling booths, but especially so in highly contested seats.
In the inner urban seat of Wills, which neighbours my own, the contest is between the Australian Labor Party and the Greens—and it is a pretty intense one.
Changing demographics in the southern part of the electorate has seen a once strongly working-class area gradually transform to one with a more knowledge-based population, hence the rise in support for the Greens. They made an all-out effort to win Wills from Labor with high-profile former local mayor and subsequent state leader of the party, Samantha Ratnam, running against the incumbent Labor MP, Peter Khalil.
I took this picture outside the Merri-bek Primary School in Coburg where there was a huge line up. I had spotted Peter Khalil when I arrived and then he seemed not to be there, so I assumed he had gone. On closer inspection of this picture, I found out he was still there and can be seen talking to a voter on the right-hand side of the picture between his sign and the Greens volunteer.
At the time of writing, Peter Khalil was still ahead in the count but narrowly so—things could change.
Tuesday: Peter Khalil has won Wills according to the ABC.
Old image from The People's vote March. I liked the way the sun caught the stars in her eyes. She was very vocal.
Not quite sure where exactly I made that picture (I am pretty sure of the street but not ex exact spot). It must have been during the 2023 municipal election campaign after Peter Feldmann had been voted out of office.
