One of the minor highlights of the Sikkim trip for Nila was two young monks in the monastery singing the silly Tamil song which went viral on the net and became a rage few months ago. "Why this Kolaveri (murderous rage) kolaveri?' went the song. made up of childish lyrics and a simple beat, reaching zillion hits on YouTube and starting off flash mobs in far off places.
In a lighter vein, I told her that that was the essence of Buddhism. In a way. But seriously speaking, why places like Sikkim and their neighbour Bhutan are supposed to be high on happiness index though their economic indices are not great. We were very curious to find out.
Few days in Sikkim showed as many sights and interactions not normally seen in the cities we have lived in. We found that people are patient; cars let others pass; drivers don't honk; people seem to be less conscious about money; even small houses have nice green plants and flowers; in general they appear very contented.
Is it true for hill life in general? Pretty isolated from others with resilience to take on tough life of cold winters, landslides, material shortages and in general a relative lack of options. Or has it something to with Buddhism which keeps talking about sufficiency.
Once when a driver behind us honked so hard (must have been from the plains) our driver didn't get annoyed but let him pass saying that he might have an emergency!
The Flaneur With A Camera has lately been wondering less and grieving for the loss (or call it truer, the death) of buildings. So much life, so much effort in the building -- and so relatively quick the ending of the life of these structures. Time is not fleeting, we are.

When I first got into this hobby, I was like most people who are interested in photographing trains: take as many photos as possible of the same train with the camera bursting. As time progressed, my taste refined a little, and I discovered the lack of need of 25 photos of the same train. I've learned to create scenes, and while that does fail me sometimes, I've become content, hell, thrilled, when I can come home with 1 quality photo, far more thrilled than coming home with 10 mediocre shots. So, while from this spot I did feel like I hit gold from this spot with the train 100 yards back even with the diamond, sometimes, that spur of the moment shot, like this one with CN M397 about to pass under the brand new signal cantilever that divides CP Durand (in front of me) and CP Clara (behind me). It might not dwarf the train like the first scene did, but the massive presence of the famous Durand Union Station still looms large in the background. So to answer my original question: why not? Why not take a second photo, maybe going home with 2 quality photos is just as good, possibly better than just 1, just don't get greedy.
not lonely, just alone.

... not so sure why my photos have been crap lately. actually thats a lie, I know why. It's because I've thinkers block (like writers block only dealing with any sort of voluntary brain activity.)
There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

wish you a good start into the weekend :)
There are hundreds of dead and dying salmon around why the interest in one particular fish. Few Bald Eagles, lots of Gulls, and way more dead fish.
Light was too bright and contrasty, but you deal with it as best you can.
Seems every road in Pittsburgh is under construction, so why not mill & pave my street today. Taken a half hour ago right in front of my driveway... cough... cough...

To answer a comment, my studio for a photo like this is nature and the outdoors. I carry my camera with me at all times. If it is raining outside, it appears in the photograph. I never *stage* a photo.
Murray's Mill Annual Ice Cream Social: what a winner for our 1st visit!
______________________________________________
– Mini-Themed Album Murray's Mill Site: Ice Cream Social –
Catawba, NC – 2018JUL08 – Murray's Mill Historic Site:
Why did we go to Murray's Mill after church this morning?
A couple months ago, in May, Joe met Jennifer, Murray's Mill Historic District site manager, at a Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary church archive workshop in Columbia, South Carolina; at that time he told her we would like to come to her ice cream social today.
And we did!
We had a great time at Murray's Mill Annual Ice Cream Social! And we want to return for a waterside hike and picturesque picnic at the last milling complex in the county, meticulously preserved and interpreted by the Catawba County Historical Association.
See it soon, even without the free ice cream – an awesome treat! – or one of their other events usually attended by 5,000 people!
It was a wonderful day, with a welcome high of 84⁰F (below-average temperature for July), clear blue skies, pleasant low humidity...
Going home at 4:44 p.m., my cell phone battery was at 44% and I had 555 captures! Who could've guessed? Plus Joe took all of 12!
I seldom video, but both Joe and I took videos, plus photos.
The best of our 567 captures are in 2 mini-themed albums:

There are so many misconceptions about running. Questions like:
Where do you run?
And why?
Of all things: Why run?
Is there something you are running from?
Let me try and get this straight. Would you ask a flower why it blooms in spring?
A newborn falcon why it’s gonna flap its wings?
You wouldn’t ask the earth why it’s so obsessed with the sun.
But you’ll ask me about why I run?

"Tell me why?
Why must we fight?
And why must we kill
in the name of what we think is right?"

Yeah :D This song is going to accompany me to make the next chapter.
In appalling light it is tempting to keep the camera in its case. After all it's likely just another class50 at best. However as it happens this is I think the only pairing of 50's in different liveries actually on a train.
50038 'Formidable' and 50013 'Agincourt' arrive at Oxford from the capital in November 1983. Both locos are refurbished 50038 in November 1980 and 50013 in June 1980 but did not receive Large Logo livery until September 1984.

In memory of Baby Tristan, Baby Thomas( my cousin) and for all those who have lost a baby.
Today 17 babies will die, the tragic victims of stillbirth or neonatal death. This is a statistic that is seeing no signs of decreasing, and behind each number is a family rocked to the foundations by the death of their baby.
This shocking figure, the loss of 6,500 babies every year, is something the public is not generally aware of. Most people think stillbirths don’t happen in the 21st century. Yet stillbirth in the UK is 10 times more common than cot death.
At Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, we feel this number of deaths is totally unacceptable. We have launched the Why17? campaign to raise awareness of this devastating loss and to ask the question:
“Why are 17 babies a day dying and what can be done to halt this national tragedy?”
“I just want to raise awareness of stillbirth. I had no idea that this could happen to me
