Sometimes you;re on a beach looking for the picture that shows how big these rocks are,
And there they where ,I didn't think just shoot......and this is the shot!...And I still love this picture....
An old fishing stage nestled into Saltwater Pond proudly wears its scars from the harsh Newfoundland climate. Captured in drizzle one cold day on the rock.
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.

Berzé-le-Châtel at the end of the Val Lamartinien is a stunning medieval fortress built from the 10th century, superbly preserved, and with magnificent gardens.
From the top of its ramparts, the view extends over the entire Val Lamartinien practically as far as Mâcon, and the Roches de Solutré and Vergisson stand out in the distance.

Schokland ( Noordoostpolder) is a former island in the Dutch Zuiderzee. Schokland lost its status as an island when the Noordoostpolder was reclaimed from the sea in 1942. The remains are still visible as a slightly elevated part in the polder and by the still partly intact retaining wall of the waterfront of 'Middelbuurt'.
As a result from the increasing sea-level Schokland transformed from an attractive settlement area in the Middle Ages to a place under continuous threat by floods in the 19th century. By that time the Schoklanders had retreated to the three most elevated parts, Emmeloord, Molenbuurt, and Middelbuurt. A major flood in 1825 brought massive destruction, and in 1859 the government decided to end permanent settlement on Schokland. The former municipality of Schokland was joined to Kampen on the mainland.
Today Schokland is a popular archeological site and host to the Schokland Museum. Schokland was the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands.

Die Cap San Diego ist Stückgutschiff und jetztiges Museumsschiff mit Liegeplatz an der Überseebrücke im Hamburger Hafen und gehört zur sog. ersten Cap-San-Klasse. Das 1961 gebaute Schiff wurde als Stückgutschiff gebaut und war bis in die 1980er Jahre im Liniendienst mit Südamerika eingesetzt.
Das Motorschiff Cap San Diego ist das größte betriebsfähige Museumsfrachtschiff der Welt. Es stellte den Höhepunkt des mechanisierten Frachtschiffbaus in Deutschland dar, bei dem eine maximale Ausprägung der meisten in der Frachtschifffahrt entwickelten Berufsbilder an Bord zu beobachten war.

The origin of these "pearls of nature" is a miracle. As I looked more closely at the ground, I saw a small blade of grass that was slightly higher than the others. For this reason, I was able to take my camera closer to the object and take this detail bigger. I was fascinated when I could look at this little wonder of nature at home.
While I was photographed, the sunrays warmed the ice crystals on the grasshammer so that they just slid down the stalk, when I finished with photography. What a wonderful experience that fascinated me once again and I could learn from nature.
This picture shows me both sides of the winter. The first is cold and somehow fancinating, the second shows me that the cold of the wafting sun has to give way. At least in the spring, when the life awakens again.
I am happy to share this here with you.
Enjoy everybody and a wonderful weekend to all of you.
Thank you for all your sympathy for my pictures here and the dear comments, which always give me great pleasure.
Have a wonderful time in the nature.

"Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."
~Samuel Ullman
of age and life experiences haven't kept this Spicebush Swallowtail from visiting all the flowers, flying freely. He inspired me to get out and kick up my heels! :-))
Last spring and summer I watched this bird for hours. She would go to the bird bath and rest. Then go to the feeder and eat, rest, repeat. I love this bird, more than any other bird I've had the opportunity to capture. I showed this bird to an expert … was told this dear girl was likely old. I don't think I'll see her this year. I only hope she aged gracefully.
I hope you find her as lovely as I do!
Been a while but here is a Happy Windmill Wednesday shot!
I processed with a bleak tone to go with those wind damaged blades HWW!
