A long exposure, landscape image of waves flowing around the rocks near Portknockie in Morayshire in Scotland, at sunset.
On the 28th June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was travelling to a hospital in Sarajevo when his driver took the wrong route and stopped to back up the car. As he was reversing, the car stalled in front of a cafe, where a member of the black hand terrorist group, Gavrilo Princip, happened to be buying a sandwich.
This coincidental mishap allowed Princip the opportunity to shoot and assassinate the Archduke, thus setting in motion the events of WW1.
Think about this. If Gavrilo Princip hadn't have stopped to buy a sandwich where he did on 28th June 1914, WW1 might never have happened. Tens of millions of people wouldn't have died. European nations would have put more resources into building economies. The US would have remained more isolated from the rest of the world. Germany would not have been punished at Versailles, and Hitler would not have risen to power.
When Princip stopped for that sandwich, he began a chain of events that would lead to the need for antibiotics and blood transfusions. The need for military spending, which drove the advent of nuclear energy and the internet.
If Princip didn't stop for that sandwich, many of our grandparents wouldn't have crossed paths.
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves it's the whim of a minute that can change everything.
Even flowers must now go to war...

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
― Rachel Carson
I'm raiding the archives again :) I took this last year in Clayoquet Plateau Provincial Park on Vancouver Island.
Chasing sunsets are never a guarantee for a spectacular display of light, but you are guaranteed that no two sunsets are ever the same.

I bought a circular polarising filter for the Osmo out of curiosity, knowing that such filters are not recommended for ultra-wide lenses. It produces some interesting effects!
This is straight out of camera/gadget.
I thought it is time to check back in on the green heron family. Here a parent valiantly tries to feed its hungry brood. Chaos, indeed!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!
