Escapism it certainly can be. But that is not all. It does not necessarily mean to look the other way. Celebrating beauty and life, and the preservation of both, can also be an act of resistance, of not giving in to the rationality of industrialised death. Not shouting "hurrah", but taking care of life can be an expression of one's alternative approach. Beauty can be subversive, just like the dream of paradise can. Just think when you make your camera see beauty. Leica M Mono, Leitz Elmar 4/135 at F 5.6.
I found this story about woman that worked at this canning company written by Ed Neckar: My grandmother worker there in the 40 & 50s. They lived in Montfort, 5 mi west of Cobb. She would get up at 4:00am, have a piece of bread, maybe with bacon grease on it and a cup of coffee. Then if my grandfather who was a farm laborer had work in that direction he would drive her to Cobb. If his work was elsewhere, she would walk. She never knew if they had work or not until she got there. They would work as long as they had product to can. Sometime until after dark. Then she'd walk home. They were paid in cash on the day they worked. Or sometimes in irregulars, cans that were damaged or mislabeled or not labeled at all. If she got irregulars she would carry them home. Often when we visited we would have Surprise Vegtable with supper since we didn't know what was in the can until it was opened. More history: The Cobb Canning Factory was built in 1923 in Cobb, Wisconsin and began its first canning season in 1924. This factory played a significant role in the local economy and was part of the broader canning industry that flourished in Wisconsin during that time
Here you can see another photo from my morning hike up the Hoher Schneeberg in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. This time with an almost unobstructed view (that means there is no one sitting there blocking the view) over the sea of fog colored golden by the sun.
By the way, somewhere down there, between the trees and the mountain peaks rising out of the fog, lies the town of Děčín, which I showed you yesterday.
It's really impressive how different the atmosphere of these two photos is. And the two recordings are only separated by two hours and perhaps 5-10 kilometers. And of course a few meters difference in altitude too.
Hier seht Ihr ein weiteres Foto vom meiner morgendlichen Wanderung auf den Hohen Schneeberg im Elbsandsteingebirge. Dieses Mal mit einem fast freien Blick (das heißt es sitzt niemand da, der den Blick versperrt) über das von der Sonne golden gefärbte Nebelmeer.
Irgendwo dort unten, zwischen den Bäumen und den Bergspitzen, die aus dem Nebel ragen, liegt übrigens der Ort Děčín, den ich Euch gestern gezeigt habe.
Es ist schon echt beeindruckend, wie unterschiedlich die Atmospäre dieser Beiden Fotos ist. Und dabei sind beide Aufnahmen nur zwei Stunden und vielleicht 5-10 Kilometer von einander getrennt. Und ein paar Meter Höhenunterschied natürlich auch noch.

Can’t believe she’s gone. So terribly sad. Just when one thought 2020 couldn’t get any worse. Rest In Peace, RBG. What an inspiring life, a beacon for women's and minority rights and gender equality … A solemn crowd gathered last night at the Supreme Court, paying their respects with candles, flowers, notes, pride flags, hoping their rights and freedoms are upheld in the uncertain future. #rbg #RuthBaderGinsburg

“You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”
~ Jon Kabat-Zinn ~
Never realized how difficult it is to "catch a wave" of a shot.
Need to keep practicing, and during this tidal surge, surfing becomes a passion, and photography, a challenge!
September 5th Update:
Just uploaded a short video of some surfers!
Hey, don't just walk away, can't you see, "I NEED A HUG"?
------------------------------ JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
7 Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)

The Honeyeater seemed a bit taken aback when the Bee tried to get to the pollen of the Eucalypt flowers.

has me in.
You need to get your ass to Equal10 to see what I mean.
From Glam Affair is the GORGEOUS, and I mean STUNNING, new skin, River.
Available in 10 Ethereal Essence light tones and 7 tones from the Velour range.
As always, your preferred tone comes with three skin options - light brow/dark brow/no brow and the cosmetic enhancements such as lip tones and eye make up.
AND SHUT THE FRONT DOOR THERE ARE ALSO FAIRY MAKEUPS TOO.
Four of them.
So pretty but I just had to blog this skin bare.
In fact, it’s so bare, that I only ran it in Lightroom to sharpen the image slightly.
So you’re looking at almost a totally raw pic. PRETTY RIGHT?!
Glam Affair you did it again!
Shown in my pic is River Snow A with Brow Toner Black 50%.
Worn on Lelutka Avalon.

I was switching up the lanes
Stepping out the frame I’m in
I was pulling on the reins
Sick of all the same happening
I swear I was looking for disaster
Mixed with a bottle of gin
And just because I come home after
Doesn’t mean you’ll take me in
You see my world is spinning
Like there’s nothing to know
You see my world is feeling
Like it just might explode
And yes I know it’s hard
To take it backwards from my mind
I need to get a ride
Need to see some light come in

As you can see, the male Bowerbird has this funky pink crest that adorns the back of his head and the nape of the neck. THis was the best shot I could get of it as he obviously wasn't trying to attract me with his charms.
"The males, which grow to about 35cm long, have to construct a twin-walled tunnel bower, stretching 1m long and 45cm high, within a cleared ‘courtyard’ just to catch the glance of a female. And even if he builds and maintains the tallest, most robust bower in the region, he’s still not going to get much of a glance if he’s not decorating it at either end with hundreds of colourful paraphernalia – rocks, seeds, bones, shells, pieces of glass, and all kinds of plastic objects of all kinds of colours.
The idea is for the female to enter the bower tunnel to inspect the male’s handiwork, while also inspecting his own pink crest, which he’ll show off to her in the most enthusiastic fashion" Australian Geographic
