BDZ-PP 44 130 with EC 461 between the stations of Morunitsa and Byala in Northern Bulgaria. Note the trees in the foreground, they are planted in 1981 on the occasion of the 1300th anniversary of the establishment of the Bulgaria as a state. Unfortunately last year there was a major fire in the region which caught this tiny forest. Sadly, it's a matter of time all trees to be exterminated...

Some of you may have seen an earlier version of this picture a few days ago. I had set it to private, but then, for some reason, made it public. Flickr has an annoying feature/bug of immediately showing any picture that has been made public at the top of one's feed. A couple of you saw it and said nice things before I realized my mistake and made it private again. Thank you.
THIS is the picture I wanted to show.
I came across this old shot while I was preparing a presentation for my camera club on Still Life Photography.* This is an example of Memento_mori, a motif used to illustrate that, "we're all gonna die."
This was part of a series of pictures that we did in a local county park. Chuck had a friend who, for some frightening reason, had a full-sized coffin (empty). It was a team effort that involved several props, as you can see here. And we got a few odd looks from some of the passers by. You can see more of the pictures here.
*By the way, I did the presentation last night and it went very well. If you're in the Chicago area and would like me to do it for your group, I'd be happy to. With questions, it takes about an hour. Haven't had a lot of opportunities to do speaking in the last few years, so it was fun!

Well, she certainly looks angry. Corky likes to lay on Kate's rollator. It's soft and puts her in easy reach for any petting that may come her way. I was taking pictures of her being cute when she reared up to beg for some loving (it's really adorable but I've never been able to capture it). I did manage this shot of her in mid-meow. Not a very good shot, but it IS an action shot.
