When the Neo-nazi government took over, all "capitalist pigs" were taken and thrown onto this tiny strip of land, no more than 27 mi. square. However, this "Neo-nazi" group wasn't quite as evil as they seemed. There were some in the government who were sympathetic toward us and gave us weapons to fend off the wild animals on the isthmus. That was their mistake. The only thing that held us back from our revenge now was the impenetrable wall of thorns and poison plants. Soon that would fall however, and the reign of terror would end. Viva la resistance!

Built by Shamsu'd-Din Iltutmish himself in 1235, the tomb of Iltutmish lies to the northwest of the Quwwatu'l Islam Mosque of New Delhi. Though, there was a gap of only five years between the constructions of Sultan Ghauri's tomb and this tomb, it is much different and serves as an example of development phase in Indo-Islamic architecture. Unlike his predecessors, Iltutmish abstained from using the material obtained from the demolition of temples. However, the arches and semi-domes of this tomb were built in the indigenous architectural style. The tomb chamber has a red sand stone cenotaph in its centre.
Originally, this cenotaph was covered by a dome, which fell, only to be replaced by Feroze Shah Tughluq. However, even the second dome could not survive long and only its ruins can be seen now. There are three 'mehrabs' in the west that were used for offering prayers. The tomb has plain and stark exteriors, but its interiors are lavishly ornamented with geometrical and arabesque patterns in Saracenic tradition. Along with this, ancient Hindu motifs, such as wheel, bell-and-chain, tassel, lotus and diamond, can also be seen here. It was these carvings that led Fergusson to remark that this tomb is 'one of the richest examples of Hindu art applied to Mohammedan purposes'.
When I was shooting Godafoss after sunrise, the sky was not good toward South (waterfalls side). But it was interesting on the other side, where there is no interesting subject.
You know which direction I would enjoy shooting haha. I ignored the world famous Godafoss without any hesitation :D

While out walking the trails around the lighthouse down in Cape May this past Sunday I came across an unusual, scene.
As you come around the bend in this one path you can see an open field off to your left through a small stand of trees. It's roped off so that people don't wander into what I'm assuming is private property.
Through the years I've spotted some cool stuff in that field, so I always take a minute or two when passing by to scan it closely with my lens.
As soon as I came around the bend and looked in that direction my eye was caught by a flash of white in the middle of the field.
When I lifted my lens I could see what looked like a bird flopping around on the ground.
I walked into the treeline a little to get a closer look. From that vantage point I could now see what looked like a bird blind off to the one side of the field, which I'd never noticed before and a white bird on the ground in front of them.
I quickly took several more shots of the bird on the ground and Larry and I continued our walk.
When I got home and cropped the shots, I could actually see that it was a dove in some kind of elaborate jacket.......????
It had also been tethered to a pole! ????
Larry determined from a few of the shots he'd taken that there was actually a net spread out over the spot where the dove was tethered.???
Well, you know me!
I had to know what was going on with that poor dove!
I decided to call the Cape May Bird Observatory and see if they could shed any light on what I'd seen.
A nice lady answered the phone. I told her I'd been visiting over the weekend and what I'd seen, hoping someone could give me some info!
I called the right place!
She told me what I"d seen was a hawk banding station.
The dove is fitted with a protective jacket and tethered out in the field to attract the hawks
. The hawks fly in and get caught in the netting, the people snag the hawk, band and release it.
No doves get hurt during the process.......but I still feel sorry for them!
If you are a dove, how freaked out would you be with this situation?
Probably freaks out the raptors too.
They think they're heading toward their next meal and next thing you know they're stuck in a net, pried out by humans and manhandled, get a bracelet they didn't ask for and after all that, they don't even get lunch!
Another shot in comments shows the jacket on the dove.

25th May 1957 and Electric Locomotive No.20003 heads the 5.15pm boat train from Newhaven Harbour to Victoria, seen approaching Purley Oaks on the then Up Slow Line.
By the 1940s the Southern Railway considered using electrical traction on more than just multiple units. Two experimental Co-Co mixed traffic electric locomotives were designed and constructed jointly between Oliver Bulleid and Alfred Raworth. These solidly built locos had a design which was similar to contemporary EMUs with a domed roof.
In 1948 British Railways constructed a third locomotive, No.20003 which looked significantly different with a slab front design with larger windows, this locomotive was also 1ft 6in longer. No.20003 was also introduced in malachite livery with yellow lining but with yellow British Railways lettering and numbering. The three locomotives had various modifications during their lives and they were closely associated with the Newhaven boat trains which they took over from the Brighton Atlantic steam locos. The first two locos were withdrawn in December 1968 and January 1969. 20003 however was the first to be withdrawn in October 1968.
Big Brother
My little eyes are watching
All you say and do
And when I grow up
big and tall
I want to be like you.
My little ears
are listening
To everything you say
I am learning how
to grow up
To be like you
someday.
So be careful how
you teach me
To be the person
that you are.
You’re a knight in
shining armour
You’re my brightest
shining star.

one of my favorites - taken that afternoon at the Centro Historico in Guadalajara, Mexico - the girl at the fountain, Plaza de La Liberacion.
When I first saw Gaynor standing by the clothes rail at the Mod Revival I thought she didn't look the kind of lady that shopped second hand.
How wrong can you be!
All the clothes are brand new in 60's style and designed and made by Gaynor herself. A very talented lady. When I asked to take her photo she just had her dress on but quickly went to get the matching jacket for the photo. A lady with style.
Nadie nace sabiendo.
La vanidad, debería ser un decreto ley, a veces. El problema es cuando se convierte en virtud.
No debemos olvidarnos de quienes nos acompañan, y mucho menos de quienes nos acompañaron, en nuestra escalada.
Yo te enseñé a enderezar el horizonte, y tú ... me has enseñado a vivir ....

When youre weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Im on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

an old me pic, a selfie while lying in bed, probably taking Annas bed when she was away, since Fjords bed (my old bed) was nothing I would ever lye in by choice :) all those boy and girls he had had in that bed...
since it is from the time where I had three non-paying lodgers or my children as I sometime called them, anyhow my age must be mid 20 something perhaps 26??? (just a wild guess)
at first I wondered what the red mark in my forehead was, no it is not a flesh-wound or a bump, I noticed that I on another picture had used the Homeland bit currency stamp as some kind of weird ornament except for the other usual makeup...
it must have been a time when I could afford a real cigarette usually we were rolling on dumps on dump and what ever was in the ashtray from our guest...
four people living in the house and no one had any money, no jobs, I used to get some extra money by selling my own stuff or stuff I found in skips...
...oh an the lovely bread I baked every day just to get some of the worst hunger to go away...
* baking soda
* suger
* curry
* and flower
even though the others were hungry the seldom ate my bread, well except for LInus
The picture is probably taken with either Annas or my Cannon Camera???
Peace and Noise!

When we meet
Wrap your arms around me
Tell me all those things you haven’t told me
In the crowd
I'll find you
On your lapel there’s a red carnation
All the things that’s left to do
feel love and build a house with you
and free the unborn child at the castle
Wrap your arms around me
There is something about chasing light (and always chasing light). The scramble to find the right spot to be because you somehow feel you are not already there. And then in ways that cannot fully be described, there you are, at the edge of a field where you pulled over after leaving the last spot you were in (which you thought was THE spot, and it was in its own way but you didn't realize you would soon find this spot as well). There is a sense of passing in such moments, that short window of time and light, knowing that where and when you are standing is measured in seconds, maybe minutes. It is beautiful, even more so than the sunset-drenched clouds overhead and the quiet fields in front where the frogs and crickets are just beginning to wake up. It is a sentiment expressed in the quiet rustle of the evening breeze. Those are easy moments to photograph in and they are hard moments to photograph in. It is difficult to not just remain perfectly still and silent and try to breathe as deeply as you can, soaking as much of that rare moment in to take with you when the time inevitably arrives and the light slips away. And you quietly set the camera away and climb back in your car and move on, in part because you have to and in part because there is other light to chase and other right spots to arrive at and be in.

Our little lemon tree has a few gifts that seem to be about ripe. These are full size lemons... even bigger than full-size! They should be ready for Christmas.
(We let the smaller two catch up, harvesting them all on January 27, 2019. )

5 “When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. 6 But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. 7 “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. 8 Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! 9 Pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us today the food we need,
and forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
And don’t let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one.[

Here was another shot of our power plant that supplies lights to our homes. A pair of fisherman was crabbing before the skeeters hauled me off......have a safe 4th of July weekend.........thanks in advance for looking and stopping by....
Each time when I take sunset shots, I wait for this moment. The one when they turn on the light, but there is still enough light that the photo is still a bright one.
