Okay, so I'm finally up here in Washington. Working. But 3 of us after work today decided that since it wasn't raining, to try to get to the base of Mt. Rainier.
"It's only like an hour"
That's what someone said at 4pm when we started out. We drove and drove and drove, in 1 car until we got to Paradise, which is as far as the road will go before the 12ft. banks of snow on each side of the road, make you stop.
Not only that, but the rain got so bad that the clouds pretty much hid the top the entire trip.
But, we did stop by little known Alder Lake about 30 minutes from the base of the mountain. Plenty of stumps at the base of this lake.
9 exposures.
My shoes need cleaning.
This has become my #1 most interesting photo

In cultures where demons and witches are perceived as real, fairy tales may merge into legendary narratives, where the context is perceived by teller and hearers as having historical actuality. However, unlike legends and epics, they usually do not contain more than superficial references to religion and actual places, persons, and events; they take place "once upon a time" rather than in actual times.
Photo created in PS by using the towers of the Posthoorn church in Amsterdam and the moon eclipse of 21 February 2008.
Een sprookje is een volksvertelling, een meestal tamelijk kort episch verhaal met veel surrealistische elementen dat veelal is voorzien van een moraal. In een of andere vorm komen ze bij vele volkeren voor. Hoewel sprookjes in het verleden bedoeld waren als vertellingen voor volwassenen, zijn het tegenwoordig meestal verhalen voor kinderen waarin hen spelenderwijs iets over het leven bij wordt gebracht.
Het verhaal begint vaak met de tekst "op een dag" in plaats van de huidige tijd.

...but I believe in it...
"Tanto tempo fa, nel Regno Sotterraneo, dove la bugia e il dolore non hanno significato, viveva una Principessa che sognava il Mondo degli Umani, sognava il cielo azzurro, la brezza lieve e la lucentezza del sole. Un giorno, traendo in inganno i suoi guardiani, fuggì. Ma appena fuori i raggi del sole la accecarono cancellando così la sua memoria. La Principessa dimenticò chi fosse e da dove provenisse. Il suo corpo patì il freddo, la malattia, il dolore e dopo qualche anno morì. Nonostante tutto il Re fu certo che l'anima della Principessa avrebbe un giorno fatto ritorno, magari in un altro corpo, in altro luogo, in un altro tempo. L'avrebbe aspettata fino al suo ultimo respiro, fino a che il mondo non avesse smesso di girare."

This is another picture taken this morning at sunrise near Sankathi Ghat along river Ganga in Varanasi (Benaras).
It belongs to the series of a new topic about wrestlers in Varanasi which I am showing here with no PP work for a change.
This is Vinod who is also trained by a Russian coach, he has also a little "shop" down the ghat where the gym is standing where he is selling pan, thea, water and sweets.
The gym where we did those pictures is facing river Ganga which gave this vivid colors so early in the morning.
Pehlwan means wrestler in Hindi.

While driving the brother-in-laws van with all of us returning back to Tokyo from a wonderful ski/onsen vacation, I noticed the reflection of the road in my lenses while looking in the rearview mirror.
Pulled out my trusty Canon IXY 910 (always on my person these days!), quickly set to macro mode and snapped the reflection off my Oakley Half-Jackets (lenses are actually this color).
Non-HDR shot taken on the mountain road heading out of Kusatsu, Japan.
I begin to like more and more the black and white images!
Orlando Rebelo (a portuguese photographer) once said "There is something about black and white that color cannot transmit... I think that colors distract us from the essential on an image".
I think this is the goal on a good black&white photo!
What a great quote and what a great photographer!

Streaming Train in a Urban London UK Underground station...very quiet for a change, apart from a lost ghost train architecture. City of London Urban, Metropolitan
The London Underground is a metro system serving a large part of Greater London and neighbouring areas of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire in England. It is the world's oldest underground railway system. It is usually referred to as the Underground or the Tube - the latter deriving from the shape of the system's deep-bore tunnels - although about 55% of the network is above ground.
The earlier lines of the present London Underground network, which were built by various private companies, became part of an integrated transport system (which excluded the main line railways) in 1933 with the creation of the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB), more commonly known by its shortened name: "London Transport".
The Underground has 268 stations and approximately 400 km (250 miles) of track,[1] making it the longest metro system in the world by route length,[4] and one of the most served in terms of stations. In 2007, over one billion passenger journeys were recorded.
Transport for London (TfL) was created in 2000 as the integrated body responsible for London's transport system. It replaced London Regional Transport. It assumed control of London Underground Limited in July 2003.
The London Underground's 11 lines are the Bakerloo line, Central line, Circle line, District line, Hammersmith & City line, Jubilee line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line, Victoria line, and Waterloo & City line.
Until 2007 there was a twelfth line, the East London line, but this has closed for rebuilding work. It will be reopen as part of London Overground - part of the National Rail network and eventually connected to its North London Line - in 2010.
The Underground has been featured in many movies and television shows, including Sliding Doors, Tube Tales and Neverwhere. The London Underground Film Office handles over 100 requests per month. The Underground has also featured in music such as The Jam's "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" and in literature such as the graphic novel V for Vendetta. Popular legends about the Underground being haunted persist to this day.
The Underground currently sponsors and contributes to the arts via its Platform for Art and Poems on the Underground projects. Poster and billboard space (and in the case of Gloucester Road tube station, an entire disused platform) is given over to artwork and poetry to "create an environment for positive impact and to enhance and enrich the journeys of ... passengers".[
The London Underground's 11 lines are the Bakerloo line, Central line, Circle line, District line, Hammersmith & City line, Jubilee line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line, Victoria line, and Waterloo & City line. Until 2007 there was a twelfth line, the East London line, but this has closed for conversion work and will be transferred to the London Overground when it reopens in 2010.
Transport for London (TfL) was created in 2000 as the integrated body responsible for London's transport system. It replaced London Regional Transport. It assumed control of London Underground Limited in July 2003.
TfL is part of the Greater London Authority and is constituted as a statutory corporation regulated under local government finance rules.[22] It has three subsidiaries: London Transport Insurance (Guernsey) Ltd., the TfL Pension Fund Trustee Co. Ltd. and Transport Trading Ltd (TTL). TTL has six wholly-owned subsidiaries, one of which is London Underground Limited.

London Underground Life Color - December 31, 2007
I found this larva today under a leaf of our geranium (shaamdani) flowerpot.
It's a one of dangerous enemy or pest for this kind of plant who eat leafs destructively.
The half of leafs were damaged with this larva and now our lovely geranium plant are peaceful from this glutton enemy.
But it was a great model for my macro photography :)
Some information about this insect i collected via web search:
Common name: Cabbage Looper
Scientific name: Trichoplusia ni (Hubner)
Facts: The cabbage looper is a green caterpillar with white stripes down the back. They have only three pairs of fleshy prolegs (legs on the abdomen) and loop when crawling. They grow to 1 1/4 inches long. Adults are a brown moth with sucking mouthparts.

In back of the Stage Harbor Lighthouse at Chatham, Cape Cod. This landing is hidden away a bit on Sears Neck, at the end of a series of winding roads. Though I grew up here I've only just been there for the first time this year. Very odd to find new places in a town only four miles on each side and surrounded by ocean.

8:02 AM, on a Monday: Antwerp-Central railway station platform 6. Just one passenger.
The vast (185 metres long, 66 metres wide and 44 metres high) curved roof iron and glass trainshed is designed by Clement van Bogaert and constructed between 1895 and 1899. The station is widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium. It is often referred to as a "Railway Cathedral".
View on black. See my other photos of Antwerp Central station.
