Worker in in the Sai Ying Pun neighbourhood in Hong Kong, before the protests and before the pandemic. Unfortunately, after a challenging 12 months, things get really worrying now.

A worker carries baskets of salt on her bamboo pole at sunrise. The Hon Khoi Salt Fields in Nha Trang is one of the largest salt fields in central Vietnam. Sea water is pumped into these fields and allowed to evaporate leaving salt crystals behind. The men then rake and collect the salt into pyramidal heaps, while the women carry the salt to be processed on their bamboo poles.
With phase one of our SUCT2021 (Screw-U-Covid Tour 2021) in the books and safely home, it is time to reflect on all the blessings granted. Many that we hoped would happen occurred…many more happened that we didn’t see coming, as they often do.
When naming blessings, you have to be careful as it is much like that one-minute acceptance speech at the Hollywood award shows I no longer watch. Not enough emphasis on a certain blessing or mentioning it fourth when maybe it should have been second can make it seem unappreciated. Not mentioning it at all can make it seem unnoticed. A major difference in this case, we know that all thanks go to God!
Normally when my Jojo pauses, takes in a deep breath and says “John, I have to tell you something” it normally means that my fly is open or that she is about to share a worry that I do not share. However, when my bride hit me with this phrase the other day, she looked much more serious than normal. It was then that she sincerely blurted out the totally unexpected…she said…and I quote …” Thank you for making me go on vacation!” These words from a true homebody not only warmed my heart, but granted me permission, forever and ever, to plan more vacations. This is what I heard and it is a blessing!
I had hoped to be blessed with great times with friends, good weather & food (mostly on the food) and safe travels…and we certainly were. It was the animal behavior that I was presented with that caught me off guard! I was blessed almost daily with animals I have photographed before but this time doing things I have never seen nor photograph. Yesterday I downloaded 1068 photos, we will start with this one.
Taken on the morning of April 5th, I found myself on a sections of Ft Pickens beach watching Cormorants, Pelicans, Osprey and Eagles feasting on a very large school of fish. The osprey would often dive down, grab a fish and then for the next several minutes battle other osprey and eagles who were trying to take it away. The action was so fast and furious that I had to hand hold my camera and lens in the air, causing both nausea and severe arm fatigue after the first twenty minutes or so of action. Here is one of my favorites from that experience.
Adventure before dementia!
I've had bad wifi for two days, taken hours to upload this one shot. Don't you hate that!
We have seen many kangaroos (and other Australian wildlife) along our journey. Some kangaroos have jumped in front of our car, too close for comfort, probably seen thousands as roadkill. But this is the biggest single mob we have seen in one spot in of all places, the railway yard in Barcaldine in Central Western Queensland. They became quite wary of us as we got close as you can see - thank heavens for a zoom lens.
Rail workers - so very appropriate as Barcaldine (Bar-call-din) is the location of the Australian Workers Heritage Centre.
We even had a storm and rain over night and today. A massive coastal system is reaching far inland. The few shots in recent days are just a few tempters. When we reach home hopefully safely by the weekend I will start doing the largish series and the odd story that goes with them. Until then take care friends.
Ho già caricato altre foto dei Cavatori di Zolfo del Kawaijen ma ogni volta che rivedo le foto e ricordo gli odori e la fatica.....
Beh questo è un piccolissimo tributo.....
That's a big mural by JAUNE in Vila Nova de Gaia. It's painted at a flight of stairs leading down to the harbour region.
Workers’ houses from XIX century.
Karol Scheibler (1820 - 1881) was one the first industrialists who, apart from financial gains, cared for the living conditions of his workers. Thanks to him, Księży Młyn was built, which was the largest workers’ settlement in Lodz, a “city inside a city” including hospitals, fire station, a later also a power plant, gasworks and churches of different denominations.
