Explore Worthy, Challenge 122 -Summer Garden.
Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows
“...Absorbed in the new scents, the sounds, and the sunlight...”
Look up into a white pine, and with a little luck you’ll see the nests of bald eagles near Wild Walk. This is your chance to climb into one of those nests. It’s the highest point of Wild Walk, and you’re invited to rest here and look out across a forest that stretches as far as you can see. It’s home to trillions of lives, spinning away forever. We share this world with all those lives. It’s fascinating to sit in the nest of a great bird, and absorb the view and all it houses.

absorbed by the enchantment produced by the water by that current of aquatic energy lost among the mountain of chestnut trees

AUTUMN LEAVES - Eva Cassidy & the London Symphony Orchestra
Now that Summer takes it's leave
and dragonflies fly off to places where I've never been
all that remains are faded remnants; leaves and weaves
of the empty spaces held fast between my dreams
The Autumn air smells cool and sweet
with rotten windfall apples and fruit
fly-blown and maggoty at my feet
intoxicating the air; stuck with prickly thistly hirsute
My eyes are drawn to narrow slits
peering between my lashes
the sentinels of pegs are pits
burned and coal-like; ombred ashes
The golden orb web spider's lacework
is spun and hanging out to dry
warm September sun a simmering perk
of the shimmering dream catcher that caught my eye
Sombre hues and orbs of light
fill the air with tangible tones
feelings are high; moods delight
a poet's dream felt deep in bones
Tread gently on the fallen leaves
make your footprint light
enrich the Earth will all it needs
go with the flow; embrace the endless night
For after Autumn, Winter follows
and the land falls asleep and hibernates
but Spring will come; fill up the hollows
and Summer will come to warm terracotta slates
The stillness of the evening; the peace and quiet
the quickening mood when Summer visitors flee
is felt very deeply in the fading riot
of flowers beneath the weeping willow tree
I shed not a tear at Summer's end
for every time comes and goes with reason
and I am a chameleon that twists and bends
and acclimatises to every season.

I read an article the other day, called "The Age of Disorder" on RT.com, which in accordance to analysts from Deutsche Bank, we are heading toward a decade of uncertainty and instability, the elite's plandemic/scamdemic, the worsening relationship between US & China. The one thing the article didn't mention was that of the ground level stuff, the sociological collapse of unity (as if we ever had in the first place) the likes of Antifa and the EDL, BLM (Black va Blue), Feminism vs the MRAs and so on and so on, etc, etc.
One thing I have found in photography is the escapism from all this, photography granting the ability (for those who have it) to live in a world of utter chaos but be transfixed by the hues & tones of a flower, or how the grass moves in the wind, the changing colours of leaves on trees, for a moment to be completely, absolutely absorbed and delightfully distracted by the acquisition of artistic endeavours via a camera and a bit of knowledge.
Photography, like all real art (real art, none of this new age crap) is the salvation of the soul(s) of mankind, and I would recommend it to anyone whose willing to learn.
So, with that said, have a great weekend everyone, and as always, thank you! :)
Tabular icebergs have steep sides and a flat top, much like a plateau, with a length-to-height ratio of more than 5:1. This type of iceberg, also known as an ice island or table iceberg, can be quite large. Glacier ice often takes on a blue tone due to light refraction and age. In technical terms it’s because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered.

A Crazed Girl
by William Butler Yeats
THAT crazed girl improvising her music.
Her poetry, dancing upon the shore,
Her soul in division from itself
Climbing, falling She knew not where,
Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship,
Her knee-cap broken, that girl I declare
A beautiful lofty thing, or a thing
Heroically lost, heroically found.
No matter what disaster occurred
She stood in desperate music wound,
Wound, wound, and she made in her triumph
Where the bales and the baskets lay
No common intelligible sound
But sang, "O sea-starved, hungry sea.'
Absorbé par un docu' sur l'univers, l'insomnie est son fléau
Les yeux sur un écran jusqu'à voir fluo
J'regarde par la fenêtre la Lune est verte
Plongé au confluent des époques
J'ai jamais voulu m'y faire, elle pleut
Tu me fais défier les lois du sommeil
Me retourner la nuit au point d'enlever les lattes du sommier
Le bruit des feuilles mortes qui rayent le trottoir
Mon reflet dans cette flaque mais j'peux plus me voir...
Seemingly absorbed in distant thought, a mature gent keeps a close clutch on his afternoon latte in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood.

Benvenuto Cellini's Perseus with the Head of Medusa seems to be a stealth monument for the flocks of tourists absorbed by the cell phones....
“Here I came to the very edge
where nothing at all needs saying,
everything is absorbed through weather and the sea,
and the moon swam back,
its rays all silvered,
and time and again the darkness would be broken
by the crash of a wave,
and every day on the balcony of the sea,
wings open, fire is born,
and everything is blue again like morning. ”
― Pablo Neruda
Glastonbury Tor is a hill at Glastonbury in the English county of Somerset, topped by the roofless St Michael's Tower, a Grade I listed building. The whole site is managed by the National Trust, and has been designated a scheduled monument.
The conical hill of clay and Blue Lias rises from the Somerset Levels. It was formed when surrounding softer deposits were eroded, leaving the hard cap of sandstone exposed. The slopes of the hill are terraced, but the method by which they were formed remains unexplained. Artefacts from human visitation have been found, dating from the Iron Age to Roman eras.
"January is the quietest month in the garden. ... But just because it looks quiet doesn't mean that nothing is happening. The soil, open to the sky, absorbs the pure rainfall while microorganisms convert tilled-under fodder into usable nutrients for the next crop of plants. The feasting earthworms tunnel along, aerating the soil and preparing it to welcome the seeds and bare roots to come."
- Rosalie Muller Wright, Editor of Sunset Magazine, 1/99
I did stand in the balcony for quite a long time to absorb all the beauties that day had to offer in silence and prayed with gratitude for the enormous gift, until the natural sunset lights almost faded and the city lights started appearing everywhere like breaking the silence in a very solemn moment.
I kept repeating dhikr in my heart- "Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allah-il-Azim" (Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allah-il-Azim" (Glory be to Allah and His is the praise, (and) Allah, the Greatest is free from imperfection); almost like a reflex, and with the feeling as if the whole world had paused for the moment.
I went back to my old childhood days - the first days of falling in love with the beauties of the creations; where sunset skies were perhaps the most inspiratory of all other nature elements I was attentive to - the days when I used to enjoy the enchantments every day standing on the rooftop with the whole sky above me and wondering with fascination how much beauties can this little world within the great universe out there hold. The days were good; sweet and good ❤️
PS. I finished my journey with 'The Hobbit' and it kind of left an unexpressable heartache inside me. It was a great adventure, after all.
Je ne veux pas élever un mur pour repousser les puissances extérieures. Moi, je cherche une force capable d'absorber les pressions de l'extérieur et qui me permette de les supporter.

The Gardens by the Bay is a nature park spanning 101 hectares in the Central Region of Singapore, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. The park consists of three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden (in Marina South), Bay East Garden (in Marina East) and Bay Central Garden (in Downtown Core and Kallang). The largest of the gardens is the Bay South Garden at 54 hectares designed by Grant Associates. Its Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world. Being one of the popular tourist attractions in Singapore, the park received 6.4 million visitors in 2014, while topping its 20 millionth visitor mark in November 2015 and over 50 million in 2018.
Supertrees are the 18 tree-like structures that dominate the Gardens' landscape with heights that range between 25 metres and 50 metres. They were conceived and designed by Grant Associates, with the imaginative engineering of Atelier One and Atelier Ten. They are vertical gardens that perform a multitude of functions, which include planting, shading and working as environmental engines for the gardens. The Supertrees are home to enclaves of unique and exotic ferns, vines, orchids and also a vast collection of bromeliads such as Tillandsia, amongst other plants. They are fitted with environmental technologies that mimic the ecological function of trees: photovoltaic cells that harness solar energy which can be used for some of the functions of the Supertrees (such as lighting), similar to how trees photosynthesize, and collection of rainwater for use in irrigation and fountain displays, similar to how trees absorb rainwater for growth. The Supertrees also serve air intake and exhaust functions as part of the conservatories' cooling systems. There is an elevated walkway, the OCBC Skyway, between two of the larger Supertrees for visitors to enjoy a panoramic aerial view of the Gardens. Every night, at 7:45pm and 8:45pm, the Supertree Grove comes alive with a coordinated light and music show known as the Garden Rhapsody. The accompanying music to the show changes every month or so, with certain themes such as A World of Wonder and A Night of Musical Theatre, which features excerpts/pieces from films like Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean. 32437
Imagen capturada en el interior del Centro Azkuna (Azkuna Zentroa) anteriormente "Alhóndiga Bilbao" originalmente fue un antiguo almacén de vino ubicado en la villa de Bilbao (Vizcaya, España). Desde 2010 rehabilitado y reconvertido en centro de ocio y cultura de la ciudad. Este edificio de estilo modernista original del arquitecto Ricardo Bastilla y construido entre 1905 y 1909, esta arquitectura es uno de los primeros ejemplos de arquitectura pública en hormigón armado.
En el año 1919 sufrió un incendio y posterior restauración. Clausurado por largo tiempo, en la década de los años 1980 se barajó su adaptación como centro cultural con la participación de Jorge Oteiza. Este proyecto se frustró y poco después emergía uno alternativo en Bilbao, el proyecto del Museo Guggenheim, lo que motivó las críticas de Oteiza y una controversia que solo se apagó ante el inusitado éxito del nuevo museo.
Finalmente, la Alhóndiga fue reformada como centro cívico polivalente, con la intervención del diseñador Philippe Starck y fue inaugurada el 18 de mayo de 2010.
El interior presenta una configuración diáfana en la que se une el atractivo de la posibilidad de experimentar la totalidad del espacio correspondiente a una manzana del Ensanche de Bilbao, con el rigor geométrico que tiene la estructura, esto proporciona unas notables percepciones del espacio por ella modulado.
Mi fotografía muestra un rincón de ese enorme espacio, iluminado en el interior de manera suave en contraste con la luz natural que le entra a través de sus espacios abiertos al exterior.

Image captured inside the Azkuna Center (Azkuna Zentroa) formerly "Alhóndiga Bilbao" was originally an old wine warehouse located in the town of Bilbao (Vizcaya, Spain). Since 2010 rehabilitated and converted into the city's leisure and culture center. This original modernist style building by the architect Ricardo Bastille and built between 1905 and 1909, this architecture is one of the first examples of public architecture in reinforced concrete.
In 1919 it suffered a fire and subsequent restoration. Closed for a long time, in the 1980s its adaptation as a cultural center was considered with the participation of Jorge Oteiza. This project was frustrated and shortly after an alternative one emerged in Bilbao, the Guggenheim Museum project, which led to Oteiza's criticism and a controversy that only died down due to the unusual success of the new museum.
Finally, the Alhóndiga was reformed as a multipurpose civic center, with the intervention of designer Philippe Starck, and was inaugurated on May 18, 2010.
The interior presents a diaphanous configuration in which the attractiveness of the possibility of experiencing the totality of the space corresponding to a block of the Ensanche de Bilbao is combined with the geometric rigor of the structure, this provides remarkable perceptions of the space modulated by it. .
My photograph shows a corner of that enormous space, softly lit inside in contrast to the natural light that enters through its open spaces to the outside.

Spoon – I eat earth is an art feature by Simone D’Auria designed as a tribute for Expo2015. There are 63 spoons on the side of the building and a number in the area outside the Gallery Hotel Art. All the spoons are made from recycled plastic. This spoon shaped bench invites you to “sit and be soothed by your own thoughts”
When I'm not absorbed by my own thoughts, you can find me on Twitter.
