One more bit of spring cleaning the 'puter...
From the swamps to a mountaintop. Or in it.

A Visit to a Silver Mine

Lebanon Mine

Specifically, this was in Colorado, near Georgetown, with its now-for-tourism narrow-gauge railroad...
A silver mine, operating for many years here, with many of Cornish miners for a while, from whom the "dragon's blood" term came.

Two minutes long, a full-length feature for me!

I realize I have quite a collection (it was, literally, a "Collection" on Google+) of Colorado photos, mostly Denver, Georgetown, Garden of the Gods... Ah well, somewhere in G+ heaven (#GoogleIsEvil)

Good week! Starting off in the US with our Perfect Past Present King, I mean President, reporting to a probation officer. Sigh...

Joyous &/or quiet and reflective & long, weekend!
(It is a long & "memorial' weekend in the U.S. with Monday a holiday)

Meanwhile, from the non-human swamps...

### A short clip from the Everglades.

All is calm and serene away from 'civilization'.. even the blackbird is signalling, 'chill', no worries.

Roseate Spoonbills

At Myakka River State Park (FL) before heading South to the Everglades. A calm day today with a little time to sift through the phone and even a card or two from camera. The good stuff will likely be via YouTube (sorry, but ad-free at least) and on Flickr.

(I can't post lots more big images 'here' without deleting many things I submitted to groups, contests, etc.... just a hassle, though I tried, so....)

"Making lemonade when you have lemons" mode has been challenging and fun (creatively). Fewer wading birds all around South Florida this spring, but OK, I would like something new: Crocodiles! No. I found bugs. (Or they found me.) Some were photogenic,
Some were scary.

I tried various abstract things with the light and shape and colors around me. Hope to eke some of that out soon.

Today was butterfly day!

Atala Butterfly

I'd heard from a handful of folks as I took a walk which was recommended - very close to me, in a bird sanctuary. A unique butterfly which only grows on a rare shrub which grows here; interesting color and pattern (luminous blue/purple).
Today many caterpillars were on those bushes. Springtime for them too.

And then after a long time there I found a Butterfly House in the Wilderness, pretty cool...

So butterflies and abstract 'impressions' to come, well into when I return to NYC in time to avoid hurricanes, Love Bugs, and a trillion cicadas in June.

My camera and my feet are soooo dead!

Happy Good Friday/Easter!

I apologize I've not found (m)any new photos to post recently, as I've been repairing my camera, lens & self. But...
here's a souvenir from my last visit to a favorite Old Cypress swamp.

And... I've planned a trip to a new spot for me, one of the world's biggest swamps, and the furthest South in the U.S. By car, boat, and foot, hopefully some new things soon (April). Happy Holidays (and spring!)

"Turkish Delight"

Here is an album-length compilation I made almost exactly 40 years ago, maybe my first - and only - "international mix tape".

Notes: Circa early-mid 1980's. That's the music here.
I was traveling from London to Paris to Istanbul to Kismet...

I taped what I heard on local pop radio in Paris/London, on a "Walk Man", and as I travelled through Turkiye, I used "discos/bibliotheques" - little stores with recent popular 'records' (33 & 45rpm). And turntables and tape recorder. You'd say, "can I have x song and y song?" and they handed you a cassette. So years later (busy with school, life, etc.) I made an audio tape, during my music/recording/radio daze.... Must have played this 1000 times. To date, I'm guessing less than a dozen people have heard this.

It begins with some Euro-pop songs which were highly contagious, like "Da Da Da", and then gets into some spirited traditional/pop Turkish and mult-national music, some very rock, some comedic/theatrical (11:45). Anyway, here we are, going on 2024, 40 years since beginning the making of this. Should be high quality audio despite its age, so.... 🎧 🔉 Have a listen. Imagine yourself on a small boat on the Aegean, deep blue seas, music dancing and singing and swimming, and then to a seaside cafe beneath a disco... and camels.
