Back in the day when the sun shone, Hugo cools off under a garden bench :^)
When we arrived at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at daybreak, we were surprised and thrilled when we noticed this trio perched high in a tree. A quick search of the Merlin Bird ID app confirmed their identity. Later in the morning they joined a group of geese grazing on swamp grass. They made my day!
When I was a senior in high school I had the good fortune to live in a remote river valley; one of my classes was called Earth Science - our teacher pointed out the large picture windows at the young mountains (Coast Range) and quoted a Nat Geo article: British Columbia is a beautiful place to live, if only it weren't about to fall down at any moment.
The witty NG scientist was absolutely right...our dense forests and variety of mountain ranges are very young. Welcome to life on a living planet. :-)

Do not note on my images.

After driving the length of the INRD and seeing a whole lot of nothing, they spit two trains out the opposite ends of Jasonville, Indiana late in the afternoon within minutes of each other.
Before I caught the Cummins demonstrator heading north, this train to Indianapolis headed south with a great trio of power. Note 25th Anniversary heritage unit #9025 behind 9012, and Iowa Pacific-painted CEFX SD9043MAC #111 bringing up the rear. I believe the 111 is back from a short stint on the Texas New Mexico railroad, minus its IP markings.
King of road racing and Queen of elegance. This 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Berlinetta Speciale. was built for competition (the C) and yet would transport a couple at very high speed in complete comfort and class. In many ways, the 2900B Lungo Berlinetta was the finest closed car produced in the pre-war era. Built with race-proven engineering and with a style of unsurpassed elegance, these fastback Alfas are among the finest cars in world.
On the track, the 2900 competition cars benefited from a decade of Alfa Romeo progress and became the most successful of their time. A trio of 2900As placed first-second-third at the 1936 Mille Miglia, while three specially built 2900MMs accomplished the same feat at the 1938 edition. The decision to make a road-going variant of these winning designs must have been easy.
Touring of Milan was responsible for almost the entire production of 2900B bodies and their exceptional ‘Coupé Superleggra’ or ‘Coupé Ultraleggro Aeroprofilato’ took advantage of the Lungo chassis and exaggerated it with a huge rear overhang. In total, Touring constructed only around 10 of these masterworks. The 2900 chassis was outfitted very similar to the competition cars.
The engine was similar to the Tipo B unit but was made from new castings in aluminum instead of magnesium. They retained a 10-main bearing crankshafts that sat in white metal babbits. The cylinder head was cast integral to the block with hemispherical combustion chambers and domed pistons. The valvetrain and axillary devices were all gear driven.
The men responsible for this model were engineer Vittorio Jano (designer of Alfa Romeo's P-Series Grand Prix racers and road-going sporting models) and body stylist Felice Bianchi Anderloni (founder of the coachbuilding firm Carrozzeria Touring in Milan). With the help of chief designer Aquino Gilardi, Anderloni helped pioneer Superleggera (super light) body construction. Instead of using heavy frames and rigid axles like so many other competitors, Alfa Romeo employed an intricate latticework of lightweight but rigid steel tubes that formed the framework for the elegant, hand-fashioned aluminum body shell. Shapes were tested by attaching felt strips to the body and the car was photographed while moving to record how wind flowed over and around it.
The original 8C had won LeMans 4 years straight, and this car is a barely detuned racing chassis. What a way to tour Europe!
When something feels right, hold on to it.
Happy looking close....on Friday!

Years ago I bought a pack of 'Happy to Serve You' disposable paper cups in N.Y., to bring home a litlle Morning-New-York-Style to the somewhat slower countryside mornings in Denmark.
The flash was on automatic, and didn't go off on most of the images, but in this one, the coffee looks just as golden as the first cup tastes :-)
When I'm stressed out and need to relax, I just turn up the music and lose myself in it. And so do my neighbors, whether they want to or not!

When we visited the Grand Canyon earlier this year, we experienced a couple snow storms. The canyon rim was a bit treacherous at times but it was still beautiful.
When I was trying to photograph a Weasel, I heard an Owl calling and looking up, saw a Little Owl on a distant wall with something it had just caught.
I was hoping another Owl might appear but there was no sign.
When out looking for the Hermit Warbler, this gem dropped by. It was eagerly searching all the trees for food
A highlight at the end of 2022
When the clouds lingered on the distant horizon, it was time to grab my camera and tripod, then make for the rocks at Snickett Park. Upon arrival, I clambered about eventually finding a crevasse for the foreground. While I was awkwardly perched, a man stammered up on my left. I thought, "oh, here we go". He leaned in showing me an iPhone shot he had taken of me. "The wild taking photos of the wild", he blustered. And, considering the strong smell of alcohol, it was good a lit match was not present.
Then a family came close and a young lady introduced herself as Penny, and asked a few questions. The show of colors had begun so I remained but answered. They were visiting from England and were enjoying a holiday. I offered my site as reference so she could find spots of interest along the Sunshine Coast.
Nice to meet you Penny.
When i was walking in our beautifull holland i saw this buzzard on a branch, he was not afraid at all and i could get really close to it. which gave me this awesome result :D
when i slow down, it's easier to choose kindness, patience, and understanding. when i pay attention, it's easier to work from love not fear. in this moment, there's no urgency—there's time to pause, breathe, and be.
to report a sharp increase in circles completed :-)
