Each day brings a new feeling, thought and belief. Every day you learn something new, if not, then you are no longer breathing.
As I progress through life and look at my past and how it has molded me, I have realized, I have to see each day like a new canvas. So some of the quotes below made me smile, just like sitting by this brazen bird did.
"Teach me to color and paint,
To sculpt and weave and create.
Teach me to sway and dance,
To tap and leap and twirl.
Teach me to laugh and giggle,
To tickle and play and pretend.
Teach me that life is beautiful.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich
“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
― Maya Angelou
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”
― Maya Angelou

For those that sent out their prayers and well wishes... thank you! Fires continue to burn (over 400 in this province and over 150 of them out of control) But we are safe at this time. So again ... Thank you xo ♥♥
Margerethenkapelle on top of the Wiehengebirge. One of my special places since I visited a concert on a Winter evening here many years ago. October waved goodby with sunshine and warm tempereratures and we used the perfect weather for an extended hiking tour on the Wittedindsweg, a crest trail on the Wiehengebirge from Porta Westfalica in the East to the Osnabrück area in the West. Before the sun went down we visited the most interesting spots of the Eastern part of the trail.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!
”Shakkin’ Briggie” (St Devenick’s Bridge) over the River Dee from Ardoe to Cults, Aberdeen - opened in 1837. Funded by Rev Dr George Morison to give 700 parishioners on the north bank access to his church on the south bank (they were crossing the river by boat). You would need more than a prayer to cross on it now!
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Een konijn staat symbool voor vruchtbaarheid. Volgens het volksgeloof heeft het konijn magische en geneeskrachtige eigenschappen. Een konijnenpootje zou geluk brengen.

A rabbit symbolizes fertility. According to popular belief, the rabbit has magical and medicinal properties. A rabbit's foot would bring good luck.
Unfortunately, I don't know the full meaning behind the many elements in this mural but the large tree and many animals are certainly key factors in their beliefs.
It is one of my deepest beliefs that the animals we have the deepest bonds with in this life, have been with us before. Many times before, even. The ones, who, when they pass on, you Never get over them. We love all our animal friends but with some, the attachment runs so deep it is indescribable. When you see a photo of an animal that looks very similar to them, it is like a hammerblow to your heart. When you think of them, it is always with mixed emotions, joy that they shared your life for a time, but a deep longing and sadness that is like a vice around your heart. These, i firmly believe, are the ones who find us, lifetime after lifetime.

a familiar title, the sun is a cloud. a phrase worth repeating, to find and fix, in treasured memory, an idea that should be true, and make it a part of my normal belief system, an unspoken fact, metaphysically true, physically true, absolutely true, requiring no further thought, embedded in my being.
i am human, the air is my sustenance, the earth is a rock, all you need is love, instant karma's gonna get you, the sun is a cloud.
the sun is a cloud.

Rocamadour es una localidad situada al suroeste de Francia, famosa desde la Edad Media por ser un importante centro de peregrinaje, documentado desde 1172. Allí se ubica el medieval monasterio de Nuestra Señora y la iglesia de San Miguel.
Y es allí donde, incrustada en la roca del precipicio sobre los edificios del santuario, estuvo durante nueve siglos una espada, sujeta con una cadena. No estaba completa, sino que le falta un trozo. Los propios monjes, que identifican esta espada con la famosa Durandal, aseguran que fue el propio Roldán quien la incrustó allí, para que no cayese en manos de sus enemigos.
Durandal (o Durandarte) fue la famosa espada de Roldán, el caballero franco que murió en la batalla de Roncesvalles el 15 de agosto del 788 a manos de los vascones.
Five years ago if someone would have told me that I'd be shooting rebuilt CP SD9043AC's in maroon and grey paint in St Paul, I'd have thought they were nuts. Or high.
But here we are, doing just that on a beautiful Fall day. And these engines look GREAT! I gotta give them credit, CP really nailed it with these two Heritage units. They're on their first revenue run with train 197. Still can't believe what I saw today.

Seeing artist Barbara Kruger's installation at MoMA yesterday reminded me that I had seen her work installed at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC in 2016.
From the museum's website: "Large areas of the installation are devoted to open-ended questions (“WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS FREE TO CHOOSE? WHO SPEAKS? WHO IS SILENT?”), while the section occupying the bookstore explores themes of desire and consumption. At once addressing the individual, the museum, and, symbolically, the country, Kruger’s penetrating examination of the public sphere transforms one of the Hirshhorn’s key public spaces."

The Hamerkop occurs in Africa south of the Sahara, Madagascar and coastal southwest Arabia in all wetland habitats, including irrigated land such as rice paddies, as well as in savannas and forests.
Most remain sedentary in their territories, which are held by pairs, but some move into suitable habitat during the wet season only. Whenever people create new bodies of water with dams or canals, Hamerkops move in quickly.
There are many legends about Hamerkop. In some regions, people state that other birds help it build its nest. Some people said that when a Hamerkop flew and called over their camp, they knew that someone close to them had died. It is known in some cultures as the lightning bird, and the Kalahari Bushmen believe or believed that being hit by lightning resulted from trying to rob a Hamerkop's nest.
They also believe that the inimical god Khauna would not like anyone to kill a Hamerkop. According to an old Malagasy belief, anyone who destroys its nest will get leprosy, and a Malagasy poem calls it an "evil bird". Such beliefs have given the bird some protection. – Wikipedia
I don’t normally place much belief in dreams, but this time it was so powerful I actually got out of bed to start working on it before I forgot. I was “told” that I had to create several images that are black and white (not monochrome) with the emphasis on white, framed, contain people, and a bit of color. Oh yeah, the titles had to start with L, M, F, B, Q, or A (that’s the order I was given). After a couple of days, this collection is what I came up with. I also threw in a couple starting with S and T just for shits and giggles.
For the color part of this image, it is kind of small and hard to see. Click the pic to enlarge and check out the lips.
A troubled mind
Trenches of dirt too deep
With its vines intertwined
It planted the seed
Wailful words it was condemned to believe
Were the catalyst that set it free
A deluded mind speaks the truth in lies
Fabricating your fables with its self deceit
Scrutiny will not bury the seed
Validation from tenacious eyes is not what it seeks
A seed is what it chooses to be
But you, the product of its never ending story
Is this all you amount to be?
A jester within the twisted web you weave
Vengeance lies in what will become obsolete
As the truth is something you will never reach
A seed finds comfort behind the distorted belief
That everything is exactly as it seems
You, the blind pilot behind the windshield of dreams
The key lies in the bullet that remains with me
A troubled mind has learned to breathe
Through false affirmation that you buried it to sea
When signals set your ship to sail
Pray that the person awaiting you is not me
A kitty cat skirts across an ancient wall at dawn in Phanom Rung Historical Park, Buriram Province, Thailand. The park includes the well preserved remains of this hilltop Hindu temple which dates back to the 10th Century when the region was under the influence of the Khmer Empire, the predecessor state to modern Cambodia. The kitty cat, assumedly, dates back to the Purr-sian Empire :)

The lake "Pakasaivo" in the gorge is 60 meters deep. The water comes from springs at the bottom..
According to the beliefs of the Sámi people, there was a hole at the bottom of the lake and on the other side of it was another lake, but upside down. On its shores, the Saivo people lived a happy life, with their heads down in relation to the livings.

Astronomische Uhr
Die Astronomische Uhr entstand von 1955 bis 1967. Ihre Fassade ist eine vereinfachte Nachbildung der alten Uhr aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, die bei dem Bombenangriff 1942 verbrannte.
In den Jahren 2013/2014 wurde die Astronomische Uhr über einen Zeitraum von acht Monaten saniert. Die Gesamtkosten beliefen sich auf 125.000 €. Finanziert wurde das Projekt durch zahlreiche Spenden von Lübecker Bürgern, Gästen und Geschäftsleuten, sowie einer Förderung durch die Possehlstiftung und die Gemeinnützige Sparkassenstiftung. Zum ersten Mal überhaupt wurde die Astronomische Uhr nach ihrem Bau wieder in ihre Einzelteile zerlegt. Das Uhrwerk hatte Aussetzer und die gesamte Uhr musste gereinigt werden. Eine große Plane mit einem Bild der Uhr versteckte die Baustelle. Das Lübecker Architekturbüro Justus Deecke hatte die Projektleitung, Firma Otto Buer Glocken- und Uhrentechnik aus Neustadt führte die Arbeiten aus.
