Upper East Side, Central Park - Jun 2008 - 085
These pictures were taken on two successive days when I had doctor appointments on the Upper East Side of NYC, and had the chance to walk along Fifth Avenue, and then through Central Park in order to return to my apartment on the Upper West Side, at Broadway & 96th
I had spotted this woman jogging in Central Park a little earlier -- how could you not notice someone in a bright pink top and pink hat? She had been running south, while I was walking north, and she went by too quickly for me to get a picture.
But about ten minutes later, as I was approaching Columbus Avenue and 96th Street, she jogged past me again ... she had to stop at Columbus Avenue, because of the traffic, so she was actually jogging in place when I took this picture...
Note: on Sep 26, 2012, I replaced the original version of this photo with a slightly edited one. All I did was some relatively minor adjusting of "hot spots" and "cold spots" -- but unfortunately, I was unable to remove all the monochromatic blackness in the woman's tights Unfortunately, the original photo was shot as a JPG image, before I learned about the benefits of shooting in RAW and making more subtle adjustments with my Aperture photo-editing program...

When they say, "They don't build them like they used to", they aren't kidding. There is no way ANYONE is going to buy a sewing machine that weighs what this one does.
Obviously this is why sewing machines were used in the home so much. Once you got it in the house, you HAD to use it because nobody had the energy to carry the thing out of there. Might as well learn how to use it.

A line from an old American folk song of the 60's is fitting for the current history of Syria. Why does a leader kill many of the citizens of his country, make others flee their homes and homeland and destroy the treasures of the country he leads. It is hard to believe that such insanity still prevails and why and for what gain.
This is the 11th century crusader castle near Homs in Syria. I read that it was recently bombed. It is on the UNESCO's World Heritage sites endangered list.
I have posted other pictures of Syria. They are all in the set this image was added to I visited Syria three years ago and now thousands of Syrians have died and millions have had to flee in order to save their own lives. I never thought in a million years that I would be showing pictures of a disappearing Syria just a few years after my visit there.
you know the season has changed!
Happy Changing Seasons Feathery Friday!

Johnston Road, Wanchai. 2014.
Taken when I personally traveled to Korea.
Taken at Gyeongju Bulguksa Temple [UNESCO World Heritage], Korea.
Completed in 774, Bulguksa is located on the slopes of Mount Toham. It is a head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism and encompasses seven National treasures of South Korea, including the Dabotap and Seokgatap stone pagodas, Cheongun-gyo, and two gilt-bronze statues of Buddha.
The temple is classified as Historic and Scenic Site No. 1 by the South Korean government.[1] In 1995, Bulguksa was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List together with the Seokguram Grotto, which lies four kilometers to the east.[Wikipedia]
Shooting into the sun.
Tried a new way of shooting my flawed Nikon D800E handheld, results are rather decent with sufficient crispness although it is a PITA using it this way.
Played around with the Nikon Z6 & Z7 at a large retailer. Nice but somehow the build quality does not seem to be on par with my old D800E. The rubberized grip at the body where the middle finger rests already showed wear and tear, both units of the Z6 and Z7. Rather surprising as these are very new, in particular the Z6 which was out for less than a week! Incidentally this has been reported by reputable users elsewhere, not blind fanbois or paid "mis"-influencers.
The Z 24-70mm f4.0 felt rather plasticky to me as well.
Will stick with my D800E for now as the use case far exceeds its resale value and the 1st Gen Z bodies are not worth it. Someone has made up a long list of suggested critical improvements for the Z bodies, interesting read. 1st Gen products, no point rushing in.
I'm also encouraged by some of my friends on Flickr who continue to produce stunning images without having to resort to the "latest and greatest" gear.
Re-edited 24 June 2023, managed to convey the extreme contrast in this scene better as some of the autumn foliage was rendered golden by the setting sun.

On the morning of June 13, 2006, Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Rwy. operated a special move train out of Millinocket for Presque Isle, Maine. MMA is seen bringing windmill components into Skyway Industrial Park in Presque Isle. 14 years later, these windmills can be seen on top of Mars Hill Mountain.
I think it would be considered an impeller as opposed to a propeller, since it sits on the lawn of a business called Hydro Consulting and Maintenance Service in West York, Pa. The concrete plant is in the background with the ever present power lines. Lol, go ahead click on it to enlarge the photo
When this box was opened any money in it had to be put into a post office savings bank for which I still have a book. When we inherited the money box, it rattled, so we took it to a local village post office where a friend was the post master. He rummaged around and found the key that opened it. Of course the coins were all pre decimal so not a lot of use but encouraged by this we started to use the box, but alas the post master and his post office have gone the way of all good postmasters and many post offices. I doubt if anyone still has a key and it's rattling again.

fear is all i come to know..
i walk through the tunnel trying to shade the darkness..
as it becomes my only shadow..
to guide me to the end as a bright light starts to glow through my path way..
thats when i relaize my eyes are shining bright with its colourful ray..
hope i call it in every way !
