"Solo se riusciremo a guardare l'universo come un tutt'uno in cui ogni parte riflette la totalità e in cui la grande bellezza sta nella diversità cominceremo a capire chi siamo e dove stiamo."
Tiziano Terzani
I think we started accepting the situation around here by degrees, imperceptibly. The Salt Lake Valley and more than a million people were buried beneath the layer of pollution pictured above just over two days ago. It only took four or five days for it to accumulate to that level, one at which I couldn't see through standing above it virtually anywhere except where mountain ranges poked out like islands in the distance. At least our mountains here are still much easier on the lungs.
Alderlea, meaning meadow of Alder trees, was constructed circa 1867 for Kenneth Chisholm, businessman, political figure and son-in-law of John Elliott, a founding father of Brampton.
Designed as an Italianate villa, Alderlea is one of Ontario’s finest examples of this architectural style. The original grandeur of the estate included a large front lawn and garden, which is now Gage Park, Brampton’s first municipal park.

Start of an Autumn glow.
Peace and tranquillity found in the late afternoon sunshine by the river. A quiet time just sitting and watching as the sun came streaming through the leaves and the rich golden tones reflected across the water.
Realising that Summer will be but a memory soon and Autumn is knocking on the door in Middle England...but oh what a show of colour to look forward too :)
Hubby was fly fishing so I took the time to just meander along and explore the river. As they say...it's the simple things in life that bring joy! :)
- C'est où, la finitude ?
- c'est à l'endroit précis où le ciel tombe dans l'eau
- mais où exactement ?
- là-bas, à l'horizon, tu vois ?
- Non, je ne vois rien.
- C'est bien ainsi. De la sorte, tu peux imaginer cette ligne, la dessiner comme tu veux, où tu veux......ou ne pas en mettre du tout, penser qu'elle n'existe pas et que la finitude n'est qu'une construction de l'esprit humain, un cadre dont il entoure sa vie pour palier l'angoisse du vide.
La Dent de Jaman no. DSC_6487.
The Dent de Jaman is a mountain (1875 m) above Montreux, situated north of the Rochers de Naye.
La dent de Jaman est un sommet des préalpes vaudoises situé à 1 875 mètres d'altitudes, dans le canton de Vaud, en Suisse.
Ses contours sont atypiques dans cette région préalpine. La forme générale de la dent de Jaman, de par ses falaises abruptes sur son versant occidental, présente l'aspect d'une canine géante vue depuis le lac Léman. Un sentier assez exposé permet d'atteindre relativement facilement son sommet par le versant oriental. Des groupes de chamois peuplent ses coteaux.
Une crête part de la dent de Jaman, passe par le Merdasson et rejoint les rochers de Naye.
La dent de Jaman est en outre le symbole d'une troupe de scouts de Montreux, la « troupe de Jaman ».
En hiver, les skieurs bénéficient d'un téléski pour profiter d'une piste de 1,86 km de long.
Die Dent de Jaman ist ein Berg in den Berner Alpen oberhalb von Montreux zwischen den Rochers de Naye und dem Pass Col de Jaman. Seine höchste Stelle befindet sich auf 1'875 m ü. M.. Südlich unterhalb des Berges befindet sich die Station de Jaman einer Zahnradbahn, die von der Transports Montreux–Vevey–Riviera betrieben wird.
Die Form ist untypisch für die voralpine Region, die westliche Wand fällt steil in Richtung des Genfersees ab. Von der Station de Jaman kann der exponierte Gipfel über einen steilen Pfad erreicht werden.
The terraced fields in Longji. DSC_3658. Guili-Yanzhou 2016
Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for your visit and support ..
All Right Reserved. Pictures can not be used without explicit permission by the creator
Fabrizio Massetti.
The terraced fields are built along the slope winding from the riverside up to the mountain top, between 600 m to 800 m above sea level. A coiling terrace line that starts from the mountain foot up to the mountain top divides the mountain into layers of water in spring, layers of green rice shoots in summer, layers of rice in fall, and layers of frost in winter. The terraced fields were mostly built about 650 years ago.
Longji (Dragon's Backbone) Terraced Rice Fields received their name because the rice terraces resemble a dragon's scales, while the summit of the mountain range looks like the backbone of the dragon.
In early June, water is pumped over the rice paddies and young plants are transferred to the main terraces.

A wonderfully lazy and beautiful Saturday morning on the beach in Anasco, on the western side of Puerto Rico
I hadn't been to Strasbourg before, but I must go back. Today I had a quick 30 minutes run around between trains. Too hot really, but I wanted to see it.
This photo must have got deleted from Flickr somehow. It was on months ago, and has made a reappearance this morning (16 Dec 2015)
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:
Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

PS: Electronic - Can't Find My Way Home Just a recommendation. It is important to learn the road signs of the Universe... happy return.
PS: Ground Control to Major Tom. Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you...

PS: Merry Christmas to all Flick(e)r users... and to the Universe full of crazy diamonds that shine... And Major Tom
Upon further reflection, I decided to put up a few more memories of autumn. The colors are all gone now, but it was amazing while it lasted!
