Praying for those who lost their lives and their grieving loved ones. Also praying for those who are injured and hospitalized.
And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dans between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
Where do most of the elements essential for life on Earth come from? The answer: inside the furnaces of stars and the explosions that mark the end of some stars’ lives.
Astronomers have long studied exploded stars and their remains – known as “supernova remnants” – to better understand exactly how stars produce and then disseminate many of the elements observed on Earth, and in the cosmos at large.
Due to its unique evolutionary status, Cassiopeia A (Cas A) is one of the most intensely studied of these supernova remnants. A new image from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory shows the location of different elements in the remains of the explosion: silicon (red), sulfur (yellow), calcium (green) and iron (purple). Each of these elements produces X-rays within narrow energy ranges, allowing maps of their location to be created. The blast wave from the explosion is seen as the blue outer ring.

With its head cocked back and it chest raised out of the water a male Hooded Merganser answers the call of another male on the same lake. These small fish eating ducks have an extravagantly adorned crest that gives their head an oblong appearing shape, when extended. Their call sounds more like a party favor than anything duck-like and can best be phonetically described as a “pop" followed by a “growl.” Hooded Mergansers are cavity nesters. Females lay their eggs in tree holes and nest boxes. Nestlings answer their mother’s calls by jumping from the nests to the ground one day after hatching. They are light enough and the wind resistance is sufficient that they are not hurt in the fall, that can sometimes be up to 50 feet. Now that’s a leap of faith. #HoodedMergansers
I got this flower at The Imperial Palace Garden, Tokyo.
I don't know what flower it is, I try but cannot find the name, the red color caught my eyes immediately.
Now I know the answer, It's Japanese Quince.
There was a bomb threat today at my son's middle schoool. They evacuated the building, as well as the high school next door that my daughter attends. Police came and conducted a search and eventually determined that the premises were safe for the students and teachers to return. Parents received the phone call around 9am informing us of what had occurred.
We're living in a crazy, crazy world.
(Explore) Jesus answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Matthew 21:21
"You take delight not in a city's seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question of yours."
~Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

One day the phone stopped ringing... no matter how many times i call you, it will always be the same... No answer... wish there were phones in heaven...
I've been laid low with the flu for a week or two, but I'm good now, and got out today to get some groceries, and wandered past this...
Český ráj National Park, Czech Republic. Shot "in answer" to an image shot by Ming Thein, and then paid homage to by Gerner Christensen. I felt it might be difficult to tred the same path and somehow find an equal image...fortunately Mother Nature provided the inspiration...

Earth raised up her head
From the darkness dread and drear,
Her light fled,
Stony, dread,
And her locks covered with grey despair
- William Blake
But this is how I feel..
Looking a little worse for wear, with many a scratch and blemish on the brass.
Objective from an old Prior microscope. I also took a shot of the lens as a possible Macro Monday (in photostream), but decided on this one instead (mostly because it is 42!).

It's not so easy to make a decent photo of two fairly large models, when you have a) limited space, b) limited size of the landing pad and c) limited size of the background sheet.
Right key is always the answer. How often we find it? How often we have the courage to use it?

After shooting the Delmarva Central train HA-1 in the clouds all morning, dad and I were excited to see the skies clear out for the afternoon southbound chase.

Album cover for "The answer", the last music album by the greek rock band 2L8, which was just released. It is available as a digital download and a limited edition compact disc, which comes in a lovely gatefold card case, featuring more of my photography.
**The band has decided that all income from selling the album that will be generated from online orders and at the band's shows will be donated to causes that support the refugee crisis in Greece.

This abandoned wagon seen alongside Utah State Route 24 is a reminder that people lived in this remote country not very long ago.
Since nobody has lived in the area since the 1950s, it has probably been here for about seventy years. I wondered what it carried and from where to where? Why was it left behind when its owner left?

Oldie.
A very nice neighbourhood. You can say 'goodday' to someone and be pretty sure you won't get an answer. It's the rule of the streets...care for yourseld first. Do not get involved. I think that will only get worse in this country. Well, I am glad I don't permanently live there. But some days I get too many reminders that humans can be rotten.
Found a pigeon last week, it was crouching next to a house in a very busy part of town. I assumed it had got hit by a car, I could see it's leg was hurt and it's tail was gone. It must have been so scared there, not able to hide anywhere. I got myself a box and walked home with it, then took it to the vet by car. The vet was surprised because the pigeon had clipped wings, which meant it had 'belonged' to someone and was totally unable to make it in the wild. Hence it getting hit by a car. The leg had a bad break and the vet thought it was most humane to let it go to sleep. I sort of had expected it, but it was still a bummer.
By the way, I am not trying to put myself on some kind of pedestal here or fishing for praise. I don't think that what I did was extraordinary at all, but it was something that I think normal, could not have left it sitting there.
