"I looked away to "the group of trees" - and a strange fascination led me thither. How thick are the marks of battle as I approach - the graves.. the splintered oaks, the scattered horses… I stood solitary upon the crest by "the trees" where, less than three days ago, I had stood before; but now how changed is all the eye beholds. Do these thick mounds cover the fiery hearts that in the battle rage swept the crest and stormed the wall?…So I am not alone. These, my brethren of the fight, are with me. Sleep, noble brave!… As long as patriotism is a virtue, and treason a crime your deeds have made this crest, your resting place, hallowed ground!"

- writen by Frank Aretas Haskell, Colonel 36th Wisconsin Infantry, and Aide to General John Gibbon.

2nd (!) upload due to the fact that Lr™ sucks!

I apologise to the kind Flickr™ users who had given a favourite or writen a comment on this photo before.

Your efforts have drifted away into the nirvana, but »such is life...« ^^ ...said Murphy ;-)

From my view Murphy was a desperate optimist! :-D

Erg mooi hoor dames,

Zo'n enorm modieuze pet.

Pas als de wind de kop opsteekt,

Begint voor omstanders de pret.

Tell the time not to happen, to wait,

to take a moment for breath, to learn the class.

Tell the time to stand still, not to run, to be discreet.

Text writen for my picture by costarican photgrapher I thank him so much

Amidst the stillness, the wheels remain motionless.

They embody readiness, poised for action,

But linger in a state of patient waiting.

What is the catalyst that eludes me?

What event must transpire to set me in motion?

When will the open road greet my presence?

Here I stand, amid anticipation and uncertainty,

Awaiting the elusive moment of readiness.

Yet, a whisper of doubt lingers:

Will that moment arrive too late, leaving me behind?

(writen using AI)

I found a great little spot to sit and chill out this past summer. I hope you have a special place to get away from it all, every once in a while.

This image, taken on Times Square the night of November 4th 2008, around two hours after the world knew Barack Obama would become President of the United States, grew up to be the most iconic image of my photo stream (Currently at +23.000 views, +870 views). In a way, it helped make me who I am as a photographer today...

I ended up meeting Stephanie and Andrew, the couple in the image... and it seemed a dream come true.

365 nights after this kiss, sadly, I've come to known they are not longer together. Obama has been president for a year. Some of his promises have come to be true and it's been great to the country and the world. But many other promises are yet to be fulfilled, even addressed for the first time...

Last night, Maine became another state after California last year, where slightly more than a half of voters decided to take back a basic civil right that was already in motion in that state: the ability for same-sex couples to marry their loved one.

There is so much to do still...

And hope is not written in capitals anymore, like it was one year ago...

I DO hope, because in my heart I'm an eternal optimist, that best things will prevail in the end. That LOVE and HUMANITY will conquer the hate and bigotry and ignorance in so many hearts.

And why not? Maybe there's still a chance for love to happen again...

PS: In my year and few months on Flickr, I had never before re-post an image that was already on my stream. But I think if a single one deserved it, it had to be this one. And I wanted to use the impact and strength of the moment depicted to send a message of hope of my own. Thanks to all of you who helped made this an iconic image.

A week ago I took myself off to Bath. Melanie took a week off to look after her mother, my Mother-in-Law Daphne, who now requires twenty-four hour care to allow me to visit our eldest daughter at University. I have fallen in love with National Express who whizzed me between London and Bath in comfort and very little effort right to the heart of this magnificent city and my hotel. Straight off the coach and a coffee was needed. I took the short walk to Pulteney Bridge and the wier in the glorious Autumn sunshine. The weather for the week looked changable so a keen eye was kept on the weather forcast. Abbey and I had a few plans. To walk the "Skyline" route around East Bath and Bathwick Hill, to do some winter cloths shopping and to catch-up on all things University. Abbey is reading Global Development and Sustainability and needs to arrange her year three working in industry experience. Applications have gone into the UNHCR, I worked for them as a forensic radiographer so supplied a reference for her, also a letter was writen to the Royal Prince Mohammed Bin Salman to request work experience on the "Neom and Linear City" developments in Saudi. Much to talk about, but all will be done over a coffee and cake, brain food.....

Year after year, there always the same people go to the zoo.

The kids ,and their parents.

Years ago, there's a book writen by a fugitive.

It's a book about his fugitive life - in Bombay , on page 45, some easy words I will never forget about:

" Leopold's was a place for people to see, to be seen, and to see themselves in the act of being seen.

Right.

It explains everything here.

I believe that one additional element hidden behind the concept of "interesting" photography is the element of surprise ... People that "pay" you with the great honour to visit your work should at least be treated by the element of the "unexpected" theme ... They should be presented with different subjects, sometimes totally unforeseen ones !!!!!

The title of the above seen photograph is an honest one my friends !!!! Can anyone tell me what this is ???? It looks like a single room made of cinder blocks and honestly that's exactly what it is ... But what on earth is it doing at the sea's waterside ?

I'm not gonna receive an answer to that I'm sure, but still you would agree with me that along with the spray, colorfull letters writen on each and everyone of its sides, it makes a wonderful HDR image !!!!! (I took 7 shots of the image to make a true 7XP HDR shot, but the little boat located at the left side of the image was getting a little too blurred and I didn't want that to happen ...)

EXIF: NIKON D90 with Nikon Nikkor 18-55 lens, Apperture priority mode, f 8, Focal Length 18 mm, ISO 200, use of ND HOYA X2 filter, exposure compensation forced to -1 EV stop, HDR photo made by only one RAW shot, cloudy weather exposure setting, auto focus mode, 1/25 s, use of tripod, flash didn't fire ...

tình cảm là một thứ rất khó để có đc. muốn có tình cảm thì cần phải có thời gian.tình cảm cũng rất mong manh nữa, khi cắt thì nó sẽ đứt, và khi đứt rồi thì lại cảm thấy hối tiếc, hồi tiếc thật nhiều, nhớ thật nhiều tình cảm lúc trước:)

nhưng ta cg chẳng thể làm gì đc nữa,.. biết bao tình cảm ta đã có bây giờ vụt bay theo những cơn gió, rất nhẹ nhàng nhưng nó khiến ta đau lắm.. không có gì làm giảm cơn đau đó đc, vì.. ta đau từ con tim, từ tâm hồn của mỗi con người.

ta lại nhớ đến những kỉ niệm nữa, những tháng ngày hạnh phúc như chỉ mới xảy ra ngày hôm qua. vậy mà hôm nay, ta nhận đc gì?- chẳng gì cả! chúng xảy ra thật nhanh, đến nỗi ta còn chẳng dám tin đó là sự thật. ta không thể níu kéo và ép buộc họ được. lời nói, khi đã nói ra rồi thì cũng bay đi thôi, dù mình ra sức nắm lại thì cũng chẳng được gì... nó chỉ là một lời nói, lời hứa hẹn mà ai cũng có thể nói ra được. thích hay không thích? hay chỉ là sự ấn tượng? tại sao không nói rõ với nhau để nhẹ nhàng hơn? tại sao phải lặng lẽ rời bỏ nhau như vậy? rồi tại sao lại phải trốn tránh?không phải đã từng quen nhau sao?có lẽ khi gặp mặt nhau, ta sẽ thấy một không gian im lặng bao trùm cả thế giới, ta không thể mở miệng ra nói những câu thân thương nữa, thậm chí là chào, hay là một tin nhắn chúc mừng sinh nhật, đã có một bức tường ngăn cách, và một lần nữa, ta chẳng thể làm gì:)

rất khó để quên đi một ai đó ta đã thực sự trân trọng. một người đối với ta có lẽ là quan trọng nhất và khi quen họ,ta xem họ quan trọng trên cả gia đình của mình, và ta sẽ muốn giữ lại những kỉ niệm đó, kỉ niệm mà ta không bao giờ quên đc. để rồi khi nhắc đến, ta lại nhớ về nó, nhớ về những giây phút đó. hãy nhắm mắt lại, và để những giọt nước mắt hạnh phúc ấy chảy ra khói khóe mắt mình, để mình cảm thấy mình lại được hạnh phúc một lần nữa, tuy đó là hạnh phúc trong sự tiếc nuối.. tiếc nuối những tháng ngày vui vẻ ấy, giờ đây đã trôi qua thật nhanh rồi, và bây giờ, dù có kím tìm ở đâu đi nữa thì cũng không bằng lần đầu tiên ta yêu thật sự:)

"Better way"

I'm a living sunset

Lightning in my bones

Push me to the edge

But my will is stone

Fools will be fools

And wise will be wise

But i will look this world

Straight in the eyes

What good is a man

Who won't take a stand

What good is a cynic

With no better plan

(hope these words feel pleasant

as they rest upon your ears)

Reality is sharp

It cuts at me like a knife

Everyone i know

Is in the fight of their life

Take your face out of your hands

And clear your eyes

You have a right to your dreams

And don't be denied

I believe in a better way

Writen by Ben Harper

What could Groningen and Lake Toba possibly have in common? It may come as a bit of a surprise that the first European to set eyes on Lake Toba in North Sumatra was the famous polyglot and linguist Herman Neubronner van der Tuuk, who for a time studied at the University of Groningen. Born in Malacca, then a Dutch possession, in 1824 of mixed European (Dutch and German) and 'Eastern' parentage (his mother was half Javanese), Van der Tuuk was sent from the Indies to Groningen to study law (1840). But he was more interested in languages and transferred to Leiden in 1845. Van der Tuuk became a formidable linguist and theoretician of language. He was fluent in Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit, Malay and a whole list of Indonesian languages among which Balinese, Kawi, and perhaps most importantly (Toba) Batak. He translated parts of the Bible into that language (1859) and also produced a dictionary (1861). To study the Batak language he became an explorer, visiting the Toba region in 1852-1853. In the course of his studies he even stayed with the mortal enemy of the Dutch colonisers, the priest-king Si Singa Mangaraja of the valley of Bakkara.

Franz Wilhem Junghuhn (1809-1864) - a hero of mine, as readers of this photo-chronicle may recall - had earlier explored what he called the 'Batalands', but he thought stories of a great lake in the interior of Sumatra to be spurious, and did not investigate further. Quite understandable given the harsh geography and the difficult to penetrate jungles even with today's transport and good health!

But he and Van der Tuuk did see eye-to-eye on the intellectual development of the Toba Batak. Far from being illitterate, they had developed their own script and most people were able to read. This script was not used for the codification of law - maybe it was just as well that Van der Tuuk did not become a legal scholar - nor for administrative purposes. From several sources it is clear that writing was primarily used for love-letters. Junghuhn writes that a typical love-letter measures 1.5 by 12 inches, writen on palm leaf. In these letters a young man starting from age 14 will write eloquently of the beauty of his love; and she will return his compliments. Visiting this area today, you will be asked to buy harmonica-style pieces of Batak writing.

This photo was taken in the direction of the way another early Dutch explorer ( J.A.M. van Cats, baron de Raet (1868)) crossed Lake Toba from the north to the southwest. To the right is Samosir 'island'. It's a magnificent sight and site, and if I were able I would write an Ode to it in Toba Batak!

Ah! Yes! What of Van der Tuuk? he settled on Bali, continuing his linguistic work but also becoming something of an excentric. Illitterate Europeans considered him laughable for he had - they said - 'gone native'.

Cold ground was my bed last night

And rock was my pillow, too;

Cold ground was my bed last night

And rock was my pillow, too.

Yeah, I've been down on the rock for so long,

I seem to wear a permanent screw;

I've been down on the rock for so long,

I seem to wear a permanent screw.

But-a I - I'm gonna stare in the sun,

Let the rays shine in my eyes.

Cold ground was my bed

Rockstone - rockstone - rockstone was my pillow;

Cold ground was my bed last night

And rock was my pillow, too.
