I do have a bit of a weakness for motion blur shots... another snap from the Tour Down Under in South Australia
The Tour Down Under in Adelaide and surrounding areas attracts some of the world's elite cyclists to South Australia in January - our summer.. Now in its 21st year here, its a major tourist and sporting attraction. Today, we were up in Piccadilly Valley near Crafers in the Adelaide Hills for Stage 3 in a very very hot and humid day (around 38C and 55% humidty and virtually no wind). It was stifling just walking around with a camera let alone six laps of a long hill and a a King of the Mountains late on.

Lets call this a birthday portrait, tomorrow marks 24 years here on earth.
(I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything
and everything and I will always care. Through weakness
and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse,
I will love you with every beat of my heart.)
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
Whether it's a strength or a character weakness, I have this propensity to come across a photo location, find no train, and commit myself to returning to that location, the way that Gen. MacArthur vowed to return to the Philippines.
A prime example of this situation: the pair of Union Switch & Signal P-5 signals east of Mosier, Ore., on Union Pacific's Portland Subdivision through the Columbia River Gorge. I spied this particular location in October 2021 during a half-day visit to Columbia River Gorge while en route to Spokane from Portland. As bad luck would have it, there were no UP trains nearby and this image eluded me that day.
While preparing my Winterail 2022 travel plans late in December 2021, one thought weighed heavy on mind. Not which airline I might fly to/from PDX, not which hotels I might use, but when I would get a train with these damned signals. The mornings of Monday, March 21 through Wednesday, March 23 would probably do it.
One variable I couldn't predict when I first laid plans three-plus months earlier: Mother Nature. Ultimately, weather was not on my side either Monday or Tuesday morning, with heavy cloud cover and/or steady rain on both dates. Wednesday, it turned out, was the last best chance for any kind of satisfaction, and so I made the decision to sit on this spot — and only this spot — until making a sprint for the airport late Wednesday morning.
Perseverance paid off, as illustrated by Union Pacific Train ZBRG1 23 (Intermodal, Brooklyn Yard, Portland, Ore.–Global One, Chicago) weaving along the shores of the Columbia River and splitting the signals at mile 74.7.
“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
The weaknesses in a number of sedimentary rock layers caused the forces that raised the seabed and formed the Pyrenean Mountain range will often crack and disintegrate in exactly the same pattern. This is apparent in the two layers that peak either side of the distant mountain.
If I had to pinpoint my two greatest weaknesses, it would be the fear of letting people down and having a lot of social anxiety. That is one reason why I tend to shy away from photographing people outside of myself. For this photo shoot I decided to take the leap and push forward with a commissioned shoot that this beautiful soul, Adrienne, requested. The whole process was a reminder that you can never know the ways you will touch someone's life, how others will impact your life, and reaffirmed that every story is worth telling if it means enough to someone.

A sea arch is a natural opening eroded out of a cliff face by marine processes. Some arches appear to have developed from surge channels, which are created by wave refraction causing the focussing of wave fronts on the side of a headland (which might be the cause in both instances above).
More generally, arches develop where waves attack a plane of weakness which cross-cuts a promontory. Caves produced on either side of a promontory may become joined over time to become a tunnel and, finally, an arch.
The supporting roof of the arch is known as the keystone. The architecture of an arch is a reflection of its lithology and structure. Sea arches have been regarded as ephemeral forms tending to survive over periods of just few decades or centuries. The term sea tunnel can be used to describe a hole in the cliff line where the arch itself is considerably longer than the width of the entrance (perhaps a better way of describing the feature on the right of the image).
Note the well-defined long vertical crack above the arch on the right. There are two simillar, but less well-defined cracks on the headland to the left as well.
The arches seen above are in Port Campbell National Park which is, of course, more famous for the Twelve Apostles. Facilitating tourist access, the Great Ocean Road runs past quite closely to this location.
There was a guy on Fstoppers.com awhile back who did very dramatic black and white urban landscapes.
They looked like they were taken at night, but the EXIF data showed they were taken mid-afternoon. Another tell - and what gave them a surreal quality - was that there no lights in the windows.
So they were a very well-executed, still-photo versions of, "Day For Night," or, as the French directors call it, "La Nuit Américaine" This is one of my attempts at the genre, although it was taken just before sunset.
What do you think?
ETA: (10/24/2016)
The biggest weakness of this attempt is that the photo isn't sharp - I must've shot it handheld. (Or turned off AF because it "hunting" in a prior shot and forgot to turn it back on. I'm ... kind of a space case, TBH)
Please vote for this image here! It would mean the world to me!
--Spotted on Explore at #71. How Nice :D--
I have had a very turbulent January,so it would seem.
I've been unwell for well over a week now with Flu, chest/sinus infections and now my M.E is acting up... I've got alot going on at Uni and with other projects and collaborations too. I feel like I've fallen off the horse this month!
If it hadn't been for my willpower, I don't think I would have taken photos today,but I hadn't photographed anything since my last portrait session, and I have new toys to play with and get used to. This is rough work for Uni anyhow!
It's scary how new equipment can unnerve you when you're not used to it,I feel how I did when I first got my 450d; really lost and inferior to the equipment. I think I know alot more now than I did back then though :P
On the plus side, I am an Auntie at long last,so aside from all the sad news of being ill and house-bound most of the time, there has been some joy :)
I really hope I make a speedy recovery as I do not like being inactive!

When the world of glass shatters
A shapeshifter appears before you
Exposing your loathsome self

This one was kind of an experiment. I love my 100-400 IS ii, but one major weakness it has is that it flares pretty easily if the sun or bright light shines directly on the front element. Rarely will it produce ghosting artifacts, but because of the flare I don't shoot close to the sun much with it. I do not have a UV filter or anything else on it, and I do my best to keep it clean, but still it flares easily. Just by looking through the viewfinder anywhere in this direction I could see how hazy the image was going to be. Knowing that, I wanted the glow of the rising sun that was just coming up over the trees adding a look of warmth.
The original was very flat so with a little bit of masking here and there and a whole lot of extra contrast and voila. Depending on how one would choose to process it there could be many different end results and as far as processing for accuracy as to what I saw with the naked eye, well that is out the window as I would only have seen some very bright light and a glaring scene. It may not be the best capture of sunrise, but I think it coveys cold with a promise of warmth, which is what I was hoping for.
One wee bit I hadn't seen at the time was the open water and its reflections beside the lodge. I am still seeing open water a bit besides lodges which I find interesting, so although I have seen this particular lodge to be a popular spot for Pelicans to rest, I am guessing that it is still an active lodge.
Some people, because I am kind, helpful and caring, think that my kindness would be a weakness... What a mistake!!!
Those who made this mistake disappeared from my Second Life instantly.
Never think that you could lie to me more than once or take advantage of my kindness, don't even try to direct me or dominate me, that would be the immediate way out.
SL is made to smile and be happy, so let's play it this way 😇
Certain(e)s parce que je suis gentil, aidant et attentionné pensent que ma gentillesse serait une faiblesse... Quelle méprise !!!
Ceux qui ont fait cette erreur ont disparu de ma Seconde vie instantanément.
Ne pensez pas que vous pourriez me mentir plus d'une fois , n'essayez même pas de me diriger ou de me dominer, ça serait la porte de sortie immédiate.
SL est fait pour sourire et être heureux, alors jouons le ainsi 😇
You are my weakness, you are my strength
Nothing I have in the world makes better sense
Cause I'm a fish and you're the sea
I have a weakness. When I see fuzzy duckling, I must take a photo. There were about 10 of these little guys all huddled together with Momma a couple feet away standing guard.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you who celebrate Easter a Very Happy Easter. For those of you who don't celebrate Easter I wish you happiness!!
I am going to be off for the next few days and if I don't get around to commenting and giving stars, I will do so when I return.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao Tzu

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. - Ann Landers
Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky. -Rainer Maria Rilke
He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you. -
Bob Marley
Love is real, real is love. -
John Lennon
I Love You
Means that I accept you
for the person you are
and that I don’t wish
to change you into someone else.
It means that I care enough
to fight for what we have
and that I love you enough
not to let you go. - Unknown
True love never dies
it only gets stronger with time. -

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
this week is pick your own theme and I picked compassion as this is a quote I have wanted to use for awhile. While it is a simple statement you realize how true when you try to stay in compassion and forgiveness. It is not always easy, but is always good for us all. This is another lovely sunset in our back yard.
"A person who practices compassion and forgiveness has great inner strength, whereas aggression is a sign of weakness" Dalai Lama
it's a necessity. ever kept a big secret from your loved ones for a long time, and finally comes the time to confess? the terror of it all, the weakness it makes you feel and you just..surrender. less than 96 hours, I will be upside down.
The first church collapsed due to the weakness of the foundations and was replaced in 1636 by a new church which also collapsed in 1780, to be rebuilt in 1782. It is surrounded by a defensive wall and has a bell tower on the west side. The baroque altar dates from 1641, the pulpit from 1764, and the organ from 1805. The tablets on the balustrade of the gallery were painted with saints and the coat of arms of the village of Ruși, in 1783, by the painter Daniel Knobloch . The last repair work was carried out in 1990.
👉Like the famous Pisa tower, the clock tower is reallyj leaning tired and heavy towards the ground. The tower was built in 1748, rebuilt in 1782, and began to tilt around the middle of the 19th century due to landslides. It was last consolidated in 1968, and now it has reached an inclination of about 1.45 m (18 degrees).
“To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.”
Poem:
Cheer up, O grievous snail.
I tap your shell, encouragingly,
not that you will ever know about it.
And I want nothing to do with you, either, sulking toad.
Imagine, at least four times my size and yet so vulnerable.
I could open your belly with my claw.
You glare and bulge, a
watchdog near my pool; you make a loud and hollow noise.
I do not care for such stupidity.
I admire compression, lightness,
and agility, all rare in this loose world.

LESSON OF THE BIRCH
from The Wisdom of Trees by Jane Gifford
The birch tree symbolises a fresh start and can bring courage and determination to those of us who are treading the path of spiritual growth and development for the first time.
Although the birch does appear fragile, it is in fact extremely hardy. This teaches us that in apparent weakness there is often to be found great strength.
The birch also promises new life and love, and is a potent symbol of purification and renewal, which focuses our attention on our potential for the change and on the consideration of new directions and goals to be experienced in our lives.
It teaches the lesson of unselfishness and of caring for the needs of others in ways that help them to flourish of their own accord.

" Get your kicks through persecution.
Used as scapegoats for your exterior doubts.
Exposing weakness retarded, unworthy.
I cannot begin to comprehend how you wear such shame with vigour
Homophobic race antagonist.
Harmony can only flourish with mutual regard. "
(Aryanisms by Napalm Death from Utopia Banished 1992)
THE THOUGHT: Today is an important day, avoid opening
useless and sterile political debates this is not the place. Talk about numbers, not numbers, how many, where, how, in what way or when: WHAT HAPPENED WAS REAL !! I have studied it minutely for many years immersed in books, vhs, researches, documented almost ad nauseam, my conclusion? MISTAKES MADE SHOULD NEVER BE REPEATED! But the human being makes a tremendous effort to learn and forgets too easily and that is why so many things MUST BE REMEMBERED and teach the new generations to never repeat mistakes.
THE PHOTO: The photo is linked to war and music. I'm next to a piece of the Berlin Wall in front of the Imperial War Museums in London. This frame was used as a background for photo of a band called NAPALM DEATH dear to me and very important for a kind music scene that tends to awaken human beings with very important messages. It was taken by my wife at my request, it is nothing striking only my tribute to the band but above all a warning to tear down all those real and virtual walls that human beings create with their ignorance, arrogance and hate a message thinking that a better world is not utopia and the prerogative of a few but respect and collaboration between every human being so CHANGE YOUR LIFE !
Everyone has a weakness for something and for me it's exciting cars. So when we go to beach cities I look for luxury cars. This week we saw this Aston Martin convertible being parked by the valet service at Montage Resort. (no, we didn't stay there; we go to their beaches for Benni to run and me to take pictures.)
This is me taking the photo, reflected in the glassy smooth hood/bonnet.

A full renovation of St Peter's Cathedral only began in 1886. Because of structural weaknesses and damage suffered in the fire of 1689, the west choir had to be completely rebuilt. Great importance was placed on reusing as much of the original stone as possible. In the outer wall this was taken so far that today all but a small portion of the old stones are in their original locations. On the inside wall, large flat stones had to be used and faithfully reconstructed. The sharply bent dosseret over the central rosette window was not rebuilt since it was blamed for the structural issues. Today the dosserets run perpendicular to the edge of the rosette and frame it clearly. The general renovations, which also included renovation of the chapel of St Nicholas, the reconstruction of the whole floor and the addition of an entirely new crypt for the tombs of the Salians under the high choir, were only completed in 1935.
In the course of the renovation work, in 1920 the head architect, Philipp Brand, was standing on the scaffolding when a dachshund attacked, and attempted to bite him on the leg. He stepped to the side and as a result escaped from a falling stone which had broken loose above him, killing the dog. In the upper left of the south portal, at the edge of the window in the left corner is a statue of the dachshund – Philipp Brand had this installed as a small memorial.
In the allied bombing on 21 February and 18 March 1945, the cathedral was damaged by a bomb, which did not affect the interior. The roof burnt but the vaults remained intact.
Yeah Based Off A Song
Stare into the sun
to see my face for once
all the weakness shows
Too tired to lift the arms
that hold onto the stars
watch me as I sleep
I wanna believe in someone
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe that i can love again
I wanna believe in someone
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe that i can love again
The fire came and went
took everything away
The bruises never heal
I tried to take a breath
to say what wasn't said
but there is nothing left of me
there is nothing left
I wanna believe in someone
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe that I can love again
I wanna believe in someone
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe that I can love again
I wanna believe in someone
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe that I can love again
I wanna believe in someone
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe that I can love again
And one day you will, you will love again
One day you will, but I can't
Love again
Look out to the earth to find out where you went
