For this post (and perhaps the next): a little slice of home town life. As Summer makes preparations for Fall to arrive, and school hallways are filled with students, the fields come alive with football teams and, our favorite, marching band! This was taken at tonight’s home opener. It is senior year for our youngest son and we are looking forward to a great year of Friday night games and competitions.
The Indian Scout Sixty is an absolute blast to ride….uhh….thought you might want to know that. Cheers!
…an early morning journey…
….chasing my shadow into the west…
…then peace…
…in the stillness of morning…
See the shells? I never thought that I would hate seeing sea shells. I love the shore…I love the ocean, but these shells…these shells I would rather not see. Do you see these shells? These jagged, dirty, sad, colorless shells serve as the sidewalk…the road beneath the bare feet of those beautiful children who run across these shells, which occasionally are submerged in sewage…see the shells?…these shells supporting a young boy whose silent stare and precious smile invade my heart…shattering my bent to complain about the smallest inconveniences in my comfortable smart phone filled life…see these shells? I will never again see shells without remembering to pray for the precious men, women and children of Cite Soleil in Haiti. I am eager to return to this city, these children…I don’t want to see these shells, but I will return for all those unseen children….those unseen families….
The past few images were taken at a local power plant where a friend of mine is employed. I had a great time exploring and hearing all about how the plant produces energy with great efficiency. This was an interesting photographic experience because I am drawn to landscapes and nature, so I ended up with quite a few unusable photos, but with an appreciation for the experience.
Hmmm…..non condensable gas…..I think I had that once….
It’s not the most beautiful lighthouse, but the location is what makes this lighthouse special. Located in Rincon, Puerto Rico, the lighthouse is surrounded by a park, and the beach there is a popular spot for whale watching, sunsets, and surfing. In this image the water is behind me and I am facing east, where some menacing clouds rolled by. Go back a few posts and you will find a couple of other images from this location.
This will be my “final” Montana moment for a while. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and hopefully will have an opportunity to return. Have a great week everyone!
