According to Buddha
To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.
oh, but if you want to win it
there’s no speed limit
just go faster, faster, don’t be slow
rev it up, rev it up ’til your engine blows

Sangudo Speedway, Sangudo, Alberta ~ September 2017
Ahhh! The noise and smell of exhaust fumes and hot oil…! Looks like an exciting day at the races. I only ever went to a couple of dirt tracks but spent a lot time at road tracks in my youth. Nice set of images, Hedy.
oh yes Mic…so so loud and yes smells of oil and burning steam…my adrenaline was pumping…i was close by and as an outsider…it was fascinating to see and photograph…very kind people who also are a “family” so a lot of happiness at the event…in my early years i did ride dirt bikes which i loved..i always loved watching racing…and fast cars…my father taught me about his love of cars so this was a fun event to witness…a total sensory experience! have a beautiful week photographing ~ smiles hedy
oh i love Tom Waits Barry…perfect song! 🙂 thank you have a fun day ~ smiles hedy
Is this you? At a racetrack? You really captured it. Must have been fun!
Alison
yes Alison but no that’s not me 🙂 i was however invited up to the tower to photograph and then i went to the pit…i really enjoyed photographing this event…it’s delightful to see small communities and the subcultures they support…my adrenaline was running high through to the next day…i’ve never been to such a race before so yes very fun!…smiles hedy 🙂
Wow, looks like fun. Nice captures, Hedy. Have a great weekend. Cheers
so fun!!!! thank you Chris 😀
such a colorful
and serene
raceway 🙂
Thank you David it was a fresh morning and I also had fun playing with colour in Lightroom 🤓 it was super loud to me ☺️ smiles hedy
You’re getting around these days! I love the quote at the top. There’s a saying about jumping off a hundred foot pole that has a similar ring to it. I’m really fine with you staying on the sidelines though, and taking pictures! 😉 Love, love that last one!
Lynn i love day trips and it’s so easy to get out of Edmonton and find little towns and villages that have subcultures of various things that are all different to me…i was grateful that the woman at the entrance saw me with my little black box and invited to photograph the day…and yes being thrown out the nest creates cognitive dissonance…which means i learn and i love learning new things…i like the last one too…i move to other end of the pit…but it felt less safe in my hedy head 😉 thank you for your thoughtful comments i appreciate them ~ have a fun day ~ smiles hedy 😀
new things = cognitive dissonance = learning new things, etc.!
I can see the last photo’s from a different spot – gotta keep that Hedy head safe! Just the right amount of risk, eh?
tee hee…my heart was pounding…and i was exhausted even the next day…
great quote (out of the nest) and love the car photos 🙂
thank you kindly Yvette…appreciate you saying…it was a really fun day! ~ smiles hedy 😀
smiles back – and wishing you a nice week, H
Yes. Continually thrown out of the nest.
i agree Penny keeps things exciting! smiles and joy for a good day 😀
Hi Hedy. Very sorry for what happened. A bad week-end. E-Town, Marseilles, Vegas. I hope you and yours are safe. Hugs
Brian
well i’m not a football fan so i wasn’t in the zone…also i rarely go downtown at night…yes Brian it was a sort of a euro style attack…and of course we are not free of disenfranchised peoples here…contested scripts…love/hate and all bundle up with narratives of experience…i’m painting baby wear so that’s happiness! 😀
Baby wear? 🙂 Painting? Yes. They’re the ultimate solace aren’t they? Keeping Gonzalo from tomorrow till sunday. His Parents are going to a Congress in San Diego. That should be therapy.
I’ll attach my link 🤓☺️ you enjoy Gonzalo 👶 I’m back to Regina later this week! Babies are the best Brian enjoy every moment!
🙂

This is très cute… Lovely. There are on-line stores where I understand you just create a catalogue and they print it ship it? Society6? Zazzle? Look it up.
(And, yes, early December would be perfect timing)

Do. I know a friend of mine – who designs tote bags and clothes – uses their services…
