Experiments with Affinity Photo. I took the photo in Olympia, Greece and painted different layers on it.
Shanghai 2.2 is a movement where someone is doing something on their own which they would prefer to do together with someone else, as performing a sequence of dance steps is just not the same when you have no partner.[...] But music can be heard. A powerful sound arouses an imperfectly devised structure, which slips off its shoes and transforms its rigid pillars with scarves and tunics to create an elegant stylisation, thus seeking to dismantle what some excessively rigid mind had tried to construct.
ك روعه المساءات الباريسيه الانيقه
ك الحلم الجميل المبتهج
ك الابتسامات الصادقه
ك الامنيات العَذبه
يأتي المطر ……….
وتتراقص مع قطراته نبضاتنا فرحاً وانتعاشاً
♥
مسائكم باريسي ممطر :d
يارب لك الحمد والشكر الكثير عدد المطر
عدد نبضات الخير والفرح في قلوب البشر

Dayna's photo.
ZAT Phase 2 (Zombie Apocalypse Training)
Today didn't exactly go as planned. I was expected to go to Drew University to see my friend, who is now 78 yrs old, play in the Alumni baseball game and get a hit on the first pitch in the first inning, as promised by him to me... a long running argument (over 20 yrs) where I was taught by my dad to always take the first pitch and he was taught by a coach, "if the first one's in there, bust it." It rained. I couldn't get any info on whether the game was on or not. Couldn't decide whether to make the drive or not, but fortunately made the right decision and went. The game, as it turned out, was cancelled. I was lucky enough to find my friend walking off the baseball field (well maybe, with my track record I should say simply...I was lucky enough to find the baseball field, period!) while I was walking on (this is one of my biggest fears... going someplace alone and trying to find someone...mission accomplished! YEY!) So, I stayed there for the afternoon, met his family and friends and heard some amazing and amusing stories and watched as younger players came up and introduced themselves to him (because he is legendary!), all while being introduced as "this is my girlfriend, Torrie, my wife is in the car. (obviously sense of humor plays a large role in my selection of friends!) A fun day and so happy to see my friend again.
From there, met Dayna at the shooting range because she has her gun permit and wanted to shop for a gun. We ended up shooting. I of course, chose the zombie target. Did OK...but was pretty much a total idiot and practically needed the gun range attendant to hold my hand... ugh... needed help with everything...putting the bullets in the magazine... putting the magazine in the gun... holding the gun. He stood behind me as I took the first shot and I am sure he was amazed that I hit the target at all.... let alone putting it almost dead center. It was downhill from there. I was not comfortable and looking at this photo I can tell why my arms hurt when I was done. Ugh....ZAT Phase 2 is going to be a lot of work!
في الحقيقة لآ شيء يدعى للجمآل
آن لم تكن عينك ترآه كذلك
هذآ الجوآب للسؤآل الذي يحيرنآ ددومآآ
عنددما نتسآل:
"
لمآذآآ هذآ سعييد رغم مآلديه من خفآيآ!!
ولمآذآ ذآك يتخبط في حيآته ويعيش في مغآرات كآبته
"!!
الإجآبة وآضحة تماما الاآن
فبيدك تصنع من الآشي
آشيآءً كبرى عظيمـــة

The emergency services throughout Winston-Salem, North Carolina, likely got calls about a UFO flying low over the city this past Saturday… it was an early evening fly-by of a U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bomber at the airshow. Having grown up in a military family and enjoying my own service with the Air Force, I had seen nearly everything that flies in the U.S. arsenal, but not this critter. With only 20 B-2s in existence, this was a rare sight.
The B-2 drifted down from a high altitude like a falling leaf over Winston-Salem and made three low passes before returning to Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. I was unprepared for how well the thing flew. Often in engineering machines there are trade-offs, fuel efficiency for speed or aesthetics for practicality for instance… there appeared to be no such trade-offs for stealth in this machine. With a maximum speed of 0.95 Mach (95% of the speed of sound), this aircraft moved quietly and as gracefully as a manta ray. The first two passes ended in tight 180-degree turns… the pilot stood the plane up on its wingtips and yanked the stick back in a high-g turn, exactly as a fighter pilot would. Unlike fighter pilots, however, this crew of 2 regularly endures missions of 40-plus hours nonstop… both a remarkable machine and crew. Perhaps that's the reason for "yanking and banking"... to break the monotony of a long flight.
While you may think that I am extolling the virtues of a war machine, please give this some thought: as a Christian, I am a proponent for peace, but not for pacifism (peace at any cost), because the two do not equate… how can I be at peace when others suffer from unjust brutality? I think G. K. Chesterton said it best when he stated, “Unless a man become the enemy of evil, he will not even become its slave but rather its champion. God Himself will not help us to ignore it, but only to defy and defeat it.” In other words, if a defenseless child was being beaten to death and I raised no hand to stop it because of pacifist proclivity, then I would be just as guilty of the crime as the one who actually did it. The B-2 is definitely a “big stick” that I support… a deterrent in the war on terrorism. The aircraft and crew of the 509th are Air Force at its best.
If you look closely, you can see the beautiful evening sky reflected in the cockpit windows. Warbird, or
not, it's hard too overlook how technology can merge so elegantly into this machine... I suppose this perspective would change radically if you were its target. Those who earn that distinction do not earn it lightly.
