Spinning the cogs of time, the voyager unravels the lost pages of the ancient world. The wealth of wisdom so cataclysmically destroyed brought back in time instituting what was once known as the capitol of knowledge and learning, the Library of Alexandria.
Yay, steampunk! ^^

Die Blüten der Gerbera sind immer wieder schön. Einen guten Beginn für die neue Woche, liebe Freunde. Das Wetter ist alles andere als winterlich. Die ersten Amseln singen ihr Lied.
Hoffen wir auf ein Jahr, dass den Menschen mehr Frieden bringt, Terror und Gewalt geächtet wird. Armut, Hunger und Not massiv angegangen wird und die Natur mehr Raum einnimmt damit wir die angesagten Umwelt Kathatrophen abmildert werden können . Alles hängt mit Allem zusammen, liebe Freunde, das sollte der Spruch des Jahres werden.

The blossoms of the gerbera are always beautiful. A good start to the new week, dear friends. The weather is anything but wintry. The first blackbirds are singing their song.
Let us hope for a year that will bring people more peace, that terror and violence will be outlawed. Poverty, hunger and misery will be tackled massively and nature will take more space so that we can mitigate the announced environmental catastrophes. Everything is connected with everything, dear friends, that should be the saying of the year.

Les fleurs de gerberas sont toujours aussi belles. Bon début de semaine, chers amis. Le temps est loin d'être hivernal. Les premiers merles chantent leur chanson.
Espérons que l'année qui vient apportera plus de paix aux hommes, que la terreur et la violence seront bannies. Que la pauvreté, la faim et la misère soient massivement combattues et que la nature prenne plus de place afin que nous puissions atténuer les cataclysmes environnementaux annoncés. Tout est lié, chers amis, cela devrait être le slogan de l'année.

And the whitish “thing” in the foreground isn’t water or snow, either!
This looks like a cataclysmic view, but is in fact “just” the now abandoned grounds of an old copper mine in Southern Portugal (Minas de São Domingos, Alentejo, Portugal).
The mine was deactivated about 60 years ago. The buildings are in ruins and many of them have already partially collapsed, creating a dantesque setting, with the remains of the facilities surrounded by coloured red and brownish earth, which are the result of the copper ore and the processes used for its extraction.
The white material seen in the foreground is kind of a white pasty sand, also originated by the mine’s activity and which still prevails in the landscape, even after six decades of the mine’s inactivity. A stark reminder that man’s actions on nature aren’t easily reversed…

Well, almost - it appears there is somebody else in the background. I didn't notice when I took the shot. Maybe it's The Last Woman. Or a zombie...
About 14,000 years ago, cataclysmic floods scoured out the Columbia River Gorge. Early visionaries engineered an inspired drive along its towering walls. As America’s first scenic highway and a National Historic Landmark, this 70-mile/113-kilometer route is indeed the “King of Roads.”
The Highway was left partially intact after Interstate 84 was built, with the middle section cut into pieces or partially destroyed. Efforts are underway to create vehicle-free paths for cyclists and pedestrians, transforming the abandoned sections into the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail.
In keeping with the beauty of it's surroundings, the Columbia River Highway builders made sure that the man-made structures along the road were equally beautiful. You'll see lovely stonework and concrete arches along your driving tour, the remains of the historic highway's original safety rails, turnouts, and bridges large and small.
La sidérurgie se meurt.
Une cathédrale aux lourds pieds de verre,
Se meurt dans le dédain du capitalisme,
Il ne reste que des ruines de l’univers,
Du cœur mort des ouvriers quel cataclysme.
Une région aussi prospère où le ciel,
Se partageait soleil et feu en communion,
De sueur, des hommes au travail essentiel,
Les âmes de l’acier sont en désillusion.
Pour fouler ce temple de feue prospérité,
Il ne reste plus qu’un photographe amer,
D’une région, sa région en austérité,
Qui s’éteint pour enrichir les actionnaires…

This is a photo of the waterfall and small pond found on the Grevena-Kozani Geopark, at the Tsouriakas Gorge where the hydroelectric dam of Aetia is located. Please enlarge the photo to better see the small waterfall. The text below is copied from the sign at the entrance of the Geopark:
“The tall jagged mountain of Tsouriakas date to the Cretaceous (about 80 million years ago) and were born as a reef within the Tethys Ocean. As the ocean filled with sediments deposited by rivers flowing from the old European continent, the reef was buried to a depth of several kilometers. Even deeper, the tectonic plates of ancient Africa and Europe were moving and grinding against each other. The stones of Tsouriakas would have remained buried had the movements of these plates not created faults that thrust the rocks towards the surface once again, folding and bending the Cretaceous strata. This makes parts of Tsouriakas look like an accordion on the scale of the mountain. The rotation of these rocks can be seen towards the waterfall, were the sediments have layers that once were horizontal, but now are vertical; the layers rotate back to horizontality towards the north.
The mountain of Tsouriakas once was itself a natural dam, creating a lake in the Pleistocene that stretched below the village of Aetia. With the melting of glaciers in the Pindos, this lake became too full to be kept damned, and the waters flooded towards the north, creating the canyon of Tsouriakas and the waterfall we see today. Such an event, happening so quickly within geologic time, is called a “cataclysmic” canyon. Today’s small dam replaces the natural dam of the Pleistocene but is kept in check to form a small lake rather than the larger lake of the geologic past”.

L'espoir dans une plantation brûlée
Mallacoota, Australie
L'Australie iconique est capturée dans ce moment particulier où un kangourou résilient fait une pause dans une plantation d'eucalyptus brûlée. Près de trois milliards d'animaux ont péri ou ont été déplacés lors des feux de brousse australiens cataclysmiques de 2019 et 2020. Ce kangourou gris oriental et son petit représentent les heureux survivants, échappant à une zone qui avait été transformée par les humains pour l'agriculture, puis dévastée par le feu.
Hope in a Burned Plantation
Mallacoota, Australia
Iconic Australia is captured in this particular moment as a resilient kangaroo pauses in a burned eucalyptus plantation. Nearly three billion animals perished or were displaced in the cataclysmic Australian bushfires of 2019 and 2020. This eastern grey kangaroo and her joey represent the lucky survivors, escaping from an area that had been transformed by humans for farming and then devastated by fire.
Uglich is a city on the Volga, where all cruise ships heading from Moscow to Yaroslavl or Nizhny Novgorod stop. The city, founded in the 10th century, has long been part of the optional list of localities of the Golden Ring route, but in March 2018 it was officially recognized by the Russian authorities as part of a popular tour of the ancient cities northeast of the capital. Now the Golden Ring route has 9 stops.
Uglich is a city where, despite a turbulent history, enemy army raids, fires and other cataclysms, historical buildings have survived to this day, looking at which it is easy to believe that I returned a couple of centuries ago before civilization came here.
The main tourist site of Uglich is considered to be the local Kremlin, devoid of fortress walls and now resembling a beautiful park in which you can find the royal chambers, two cathedrals and the Church of Dmitry on the Blood. It was erected on the site of the death of Tsarevich Dmitry, the son of Ivan Groznyy.
There are as many museums in Uglich as there are temples. for example, the Museum of the History of Uglich, or the Legends of Uglich Museum, on 9 January Street stands the mansion of the shipbuilder Kalashnikov, erected in the 18th century and now turned into the Tea Party Museum. Perhaps the most popular local museum is the Vodka Museum. It is impossible to leave without tasting. Next to this museum, since 2004, the Museum of Prison Art has been operating.

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying, "Save me now!"
You were there, impossibly alone
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go
And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go

When people ask me are you happy, I’d say that isn’t quite the question. The real question is am I still growing? Have I become a finished creation? Am I dead or am I still growing? Is my life still an adventure, an adventure full of trouble, full of joy, full of pain, full of cataclysm. Am I still living dangerously? So am I still growing is the real question.

The two expansion towers are The Hall of Acumen and Hall of the Elements. The College itself houses the standard magical crafting stations for Enchanting and Alchemy.
In 4th Era, much of the city of Winterhold collapsed into the sea in an event known as The Great Collapse, although the College of Winterhold was left unharmed by the cataclysm. This prompted suspicion among many citizens of Winterhold, who believed that the institution may have had a hand in the collapse. Although the College denied any involvement in the event, suggesting that the College was unharmed because of "protective magicks" placed around it many years previously, the populace of Winterhold continued to harbor great distrust for the mages at the College.

Michel Ragon (Jan. 1996)
"À travers le destin exemplaire de cinq jeunes agriculteurs d'aujourd'hui, Michel Ragon nous plonge dans le drame de nos campagnes écrasées, mises au carré, laminées par les eurocrates, les ingénieurs, les banques, les énarques parisiens... Il nous dit la fin des Dochâgne au terme d'une histoire paysanne magistralement commencée avec Les Mouchoirs rouges de Cholet ; la fin d'un monde, d'une harmonie avec la nature ; la fin d'un certain humanisme qui casse devant la brutalité, souvent absurde, de la technocratie et de l'industrialisation à outrance.
Récit d'une fin mais aussi cri de révolte pour que la terre ne meure pas.
Ce roman nous montre comment les histoires individuelles se brisent sur les cataclysmes d'une époque, comment un sentiment poignant de révolte, de désolation, de fureur monte, comment "la mémoire des vaincus" survit à tout, jusqu'au plus fol espoir. Toujours les coquelicots reviendront. Michel Ragon s'engage en grand romancier dans les tourments de cette fin de siècle pour mieux témoigner de son temps."
"Through the exemplary destiny of five young farmers today, Michel Ragon immerses us in the drama of our countryside crushed, squared, rolled by Eurocrats, engineers, banks, Parisian enarques... He tells us says the end of the Dochagnes at the end of a peasant story masterfully begun with Les Mouchoirs rouges de Cholet; the end of a world, of a harmony with nature; the end of a certain humanism which breaks before the brutality, often absurd, of technocracy and excessive industrialization.
A story of an end but also a cry of revolt so that the earth does not die.
This novel shows us how individual stories break on the cataclysms of an era, how a poignant feeling of revolt, desolation, fury rises, how "the memory of the vanquished" survives everything, even the wildest hope. The poppies will always come back. Michel Ragon engages as a great novelist in the torments of this end of the century to better bear witness to his time."
For "Smile on Saturday! :-)"
Theme : "PORTRAY A BOOK TITLE"
Wizard Island was created after Mount Mazama erupted violently approximately 7,700 years ago, forming its caldera which now contains Crater Lake. Following the cataclysmic caldera-forming eruption, a series of smaller eruptions over the next several hundred years formed several cinder cones on the caldera floor. The highest of these cones, the only one to rise above the current lake level, is Wizard Island, which rises over 2,700 feet (820 m) above the lowest point on the caldera floor and the deepest point in the lake.
Happy Mountain Monday! Take care, stay safe and be optimistic. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

I took today's, and tomorrow's, photos on a walk in a primeval forest where it's possible to walk in an ancient river bed where now flows a small stream. The stream leads to an enormous rift, a chasm in the landscape, over which it drops hundreds of metres into a valley below.
Today it's a peaceful place where ants build their nests beside tall trees. But in the prehistoric past, a cataclysmic even ripped the very fabric of the earth in this place; the earth really moved.

We witnessed this spectacular rain cloud over the northern part of Lac du Bourget in France. Clouds had started gathering earlier on and it had started to rain around the same area, but quite suddenly the whole huge cloud started to pour down its entire contents over this small area you see here in a rather cataclysmic fashion! I guess seeing this from up close must have been something!
I might post this again in color in the future but for the moment I'm posting this b&w version as my submission to the current Challenge 168 "Old school clouds in B&W" hosted by Clinchy in our friendly the global camel committee group.
Seeing these tiny eggs reminded me of a fossilized dinosaur's nest with eggs, baby dinosaurs and a chick emerging from an egg, that I saw in the Dinosaur Museum in Mongolia. I wondered what cataclysmic event overtook the dinosaurs' nest to capture and preserve them for thousands of years.
Embalse de Mediano. En Aragon, le petit village de Mediano a été, comme d'autres villages, englouti par la montée des eaux consécutive à la construction d'un barrage dans les années 70. L'été le niveau d'eau baisse et laisse découvrir les vestiges du village. On a réellement l'impression d'être les survivants d'un cataclysme. C'est fascinant, très beau et très triste aussi. Et un orage grondait au loin, ce qui renforçait ce sentiment.
Nous avons eu de la chance pour cette promenade en bateau sur les canaux de Saint-Pétersbourg : l'automne rôdait dans les coulisses et la soirée était très fraîche, certes. Mais quelques jours plus tard nous avons pu observer que le passage des bateaux sous les ponts était impossible, les pluies ayant gonflé fortement rivières et canaux.
Mais l'Histoire de la ville a connu pires moments :
"Tout un quartier de Saint-Pétersbourg vient d'être ravagé par une terrible inondation dont la cause est des plus curieuses. La Néva, comme on sait, abondamment alimentée par les eaux du lac Ladoga, se jette dans la mer Baltique. En ce moment, les bourrasques formidables ravagent toutes les côtes, et le vent venant du large souffle avec une telle violence que, refoulant tout sur son passage, il arrête net, comme un immense barrage, le cours de la Néva. Les eaux, ne pouvant s'écouler, se répandent hors de leur lit, couvrant les quartiers voisins, s'infiltrant et envahissant par conséquent les caves et les sous-sols. On ne peut encore évaluer les dégâts, mais on sait déjà qu'ils seront immenses. Nombre de pauvres marchands ont vu leurs approvisionnement dispersés, emportés par l'eau. Des banques ont dû interrompre leurs opérations, les services publics ont été arrêtés. C'est un affreux désastre. La France ne saurait rester indifférente aux malheurs de nos amis, si éprouvés par ce cataclysme imprévu : elle leur doit toute sa sympathie dans les pénibles moments qu'ils traversent."
Le Petit Journal du 13 Décembre 1903.
In central Tokyo, you will find few buildings that pre-date 1945 (go figure), but there are some to be spotted here and there.
But the fire-bombings of Tokyo during the Second World War was not the only cataclysm that the city suffered in the 20th century. 1923 saw the Great Kantō Earthquake that devastated Tokyo. And this particular building is a result of that.
It is a very anonymous building when you see it, somewhat hidden behind a wall and some trees, and the entrance seems to be closed. But this is the Jōgyō-in (常行院), a Buddhist temple. Or more precis, this is Jōgyō-in nōkotsudō (常行院納骨堂), and this is an ossuary. And it is a reconstruction of an earlier ossuary located here, which was destroyed in 1923.
Legend has it (but there is no obvious reason to mistrust the legend) that a monk called Kaijun came from Kyoto to Tokyo to perform in the grand ceremonies over at the temple Zōjō-ji, which was the burial place of many from the Tokugawa clan (from the 17th century and onwards), and apparently Kaijun did such a great job that he was given a piece of land within in temple precinct and Jōgyō-in was founded. (Zōjō-ji as a temple still exists today, but the area the temple owns is much, much smaller today, so now this is a block away from the temple area.). When this building was rebuilt, in 1931, it was built to recreate the looks of the old building - the only difference being that it is reinforced with concrete.
There is an adjoining building by the ossuary that seems to be the temple itself - but it is a very anonymous and modern building.
And far beneath the movement of this silent cataclysm Mary slept in the infinite tranquility of God, and God was a child curled up who slept in her and her veins were flooded with His wisdom which is night, which is starlight, which is silence. And her whole being was embraced in Him whom she embraced and they became tremendous silence.
-Thomas Merton Ascent to Truth, 317.

I'm sitting on a boulder halfway up Umatilla Rock, a mile long finger of rock separating two coulees below Dry Falls. The coulees and the shape of Umatilla Rock was formed by cataclysmic Ice Age Floods.

Unfortunately for Iceland, it happens to be the meeting ground of the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate that are slowly going in opposite directions. ( One can see that wall of black stone in the distance which shows one of the separating plates.) At some point there will be a cataclysmic event in Iceland when these two giant forces wreak their havoc.
Eldhraun lava field 20210716
Eldhraun: How Did it Happen?
Indeed, you don’t run across kilometers of endlessly sprawling green woolly fringe moss covering volcanic lava every day. So what were the geological events that took place which caused this otherworldly, one-of-a-kind popular Icelandic sightseeing destination?
This special place started like any regular Icelandic lava field does: with a volcano erupting. Although this particular event was especially traumatic for the island.
It all began with the Laki eruption, probably the most poisonous eruption Iceland has experienced in historical times. This cataclysmic event took place from 1783 to 1784, and the fallout was immense. Not from the explosion of fire, ash, and subsequent lava flows, but rather the crop failure, disease, and starvation that came afterward. The aftermath was devastating, wiping out 20-25% of the island’s population and nearly 80% of domestic animals.
The eruption was so massive, that allegedly smoke from its ash cloud traveled to France. Supposedly when it blocked out the sun, people thought the world was ending, and this contributed to the French Revolution.
