A high mountain pass in the Rockies, standing in the icy cold marsh waters, seeing the autumn grasses sway in the breeze while taking in a beautiful sunset. Moments of pure bliss.

Decal application & painting by me
I know I'm a day late and a dollar short but here are my annual "Awareness Troopers" for this October. Arealight's super awesome one-off helmets inspired me to make these two specifics figs. I also used Arealight's printed curved torso for Sabine. I hand painted some silver & pink onto the jetpack and the rangefinder before I added Fineclonier's decals to finish off the fig. The RC came together real quick too. Fineclonier under printed the blue so it pops against the pink so well! CAC's pink sniper rifle was a freebie I got with an order and it was the perfect accessory to go with this troop!

Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive and present with those around you and with what you are doing. We bring our body and mind into harmony while we wash the dishes, drive the car or take our morning cup of tea.

I have plenty of more shots of the Blue Lagoon I could upload but I'm aware maybe regular visitors to my photostream may be losing interest. Last night I finished post-production on my Blue Lagoon shots and this is one of my favourites though so hopefully you'd agree I should continue at least for a couple more days.......
More of my favourite shots taken this year so far : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/sets/72157650487442710
From Wikipedia : "The Blue Lagoon (Icelandic: Bláa lónið) geothermal spa is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. The spa is located in a lava field in Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula, southwestern Iceland. Bláa lónið is situated approximately 20 km (12 mi) from the Keflavík International Airport and 39 km (24 mi) from the capital city of Reykjavík, roughly a 20 minute drive from the airport and a 50 minute drive from Reykjavík.
The warm waters are rich in minerals like silica and sulfur and bathing in the Blue Lagoon is reputed to help some people suffering from skin diseases such as psoriasis. The water temperature in the bathing and swimming area of the lagoon averages 37–39 °C (99–102 °F). The Blue Lagoon also operates a research and development facility to help find cures for other skin ailments using the mineral-rich water.
The lagoon is a man-made lagoon which is fed by the water output of the nearby geothermal power plant Svartsengi and is renewed every two days. Superheated water is vented from the ground near a lava flow and used to run turbines that generate electricity. After going through the turbines, the steam and hot water passes through a heat exchanger to provide heat for a municipal water heating system. Then the water is fed into the lagoon for recreational and medicinal users to bathe in."

Photographic Society of Madras, a 150+ years old photo club in Chennai, organised a photowalk on a Car Free Sunday at BesantNagar, Chennai. There many life saving and health awareness campaigns were going on and the above image captured while the public were taught the Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation technique. Even the slum children showed keen interest. More than understanding the technique the message would reach the base level people.
which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.
на высоте ведя сраженья,
скандальный дуэлянт, весь в дырах,
смиренным на земле гниеньем
не может жизнь свою окончить -
он осени дуэль назначил.

Living with ALS has given me a whole new perspective of life. I try to stay positive and look forward to each new day and to do the things that I still can do. Cannot take as many pictures any more but on good days can still take a few. I still enjoy looking at the work of others and I enjoy working with photoshop to get pictures ready to post on Flickr.

"When one past thought has ceased and a future thought has not yet risen,
in that gap, in between, isn’t there a consciousness of the present moment;
fresh, virgin, unaltered by even a hair’s breadth of a concept, a luminous, naked awareness?
Well, that's what naturally peaceful awareness is. "

Today is International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day.
"The aim of the Day is to help children with cancer get the best possible treatment and care, no matter where they live in the world, by raising both awareness and money."
A few years ago they did this with a very successful photo project, "Through my Eyes", where children with cancer around the world took photographs of their life.
There is a popular saying: “With the truth, a person can go all over the world.” The Baal Shem Tov explained, “That’s because he will get thrown out of one place after another” (Toldos Yaakov Yosef, Bo, 46b, cited in Sefer Baal Shem Tov, Vayeira 10).

Falls Meditation von Interesse ist.
Meditation erscheint von außen betrachtet als ein stilles Sitzen in Gedankenlosigkeit.
Aus der Innenperspektive betrachtet ist es eine Veränderung der Schwingung des Bewusstseins. Die Aufmerksamkeit verändert sich und mit ihr das Spektrum der Wahrnehmung. Persönliche, emotionale, intellektuelle und körperliche Dinge treten in den Vordergrund und werden häufig erst jetzt wahrgenommen. Nachdem all diese Dinge erkannt und gewürdigt wurden kommen die Wogen des Geistes zur Ruhe und die See wirft keine Wellen mehr. Die Oberfläche ist still und spiegelt den klaren Himmel.
Diese metaphorische Umschreibung besagt, dass die Wogen der Emotionen den Geist nicht mehr wirre Geschichten spinnen lassen und ihn leid- und sorgenvoll beschäftigen. Der klare Blick wird nicht mehr durch Emotionen verzerrt.

If you like: Buddhist chanting :-)))
We live in an era when it is more important than ever to be aware of our surroundings when in public.
For birds like this hawk, they live or die because of either following or ignoring that principle...even in early mornings.

You will have to zoom in on this one. One of a small flock of juvenile Bearded Tits / Reedlings. This time of year you hear then but don't often see them. The youngsters band together in gangs (you rarely see an adult) - a bit like the teenagers in the local park, although I don't think beardies drink cider.
This one seems to be looking at its own reflection, but probably isn't.
