Communication & Illumination , seen moments after taking my shot that is in explore , I turned round to see this rooftop scene which made me think of Telegraph Tuesday - so here it is ...... HTT

Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire. During World War II the centre of the British code-breaking activity, that is, the deciphering of the German and Japanese communication codes. Leica M8, Elmar (collapsible) 50/2.8.

That's the key

the nankeen night herons (Nycticorax caledonicus)

Marley as a kitten getting comfy in his new home just days after being adopted, nestled into the down cushion on the wicker chair by the sunny window. He looks like he is smiling at me...what a charmer!

This photo posted for Happy Caturday’s theme of cats and communication.

Note: I grabbed this photo photo with my Apple IPad Pro as my camera wasn't handy to capture this cute moment. With somewhat limited resolution, I upscaled with Topaz Gigapixel AI.

Given a comic book treatment.

Leica M8, Voigtlander CS 2.2/50 at F5.6. It is probably far too early to come up with 'results', but it is my educated guess that the lens works very well on both my Leica cameras and that to my surprise the old 10MP M8 (compared to the 24MP M Mono 246) is very able to keep its distinctive attraction.

Fantastic! You don't even have to speak to others personally! If it gets serious, just switch it off and that's it! ;-)

After reading about the incredible supportive, verifiable communication between trees clustered in the forest in the book The Hidden Life of Trees I can not look at these isolated trees (beautiful as they are) in the same way. Photo taken in south central, Wisconsin

Good viewing: Link to the short under 2-minute trailer of the 2021 Movie based on the best selling book: youtu.be/k_xKhHwqeW8

All my photographs with sky: Real sky not AI Replacement Sky.

Especially for you Kel.

That's what is important. And you give me the opportunity of communicate with you.

Nice to have met you!

Captured near Staffin on The Isle of Skye, Scotland. I just loved the frame of four slightly uneven poles descending into the mist here and couldn't resist the shot. I think that was a Sparrowhawk on the second pylon, it certainly had some fun chasing a murder of hooded crows after I took this.

While away motorhome touring on Skye I played around with new subjects and photography techniques and loved every minute of it.

I spent hours out in the cold dark night sky capturing The Milky Way too but sadly forgot to use mirror lock-up for those shots so while the long exposures captured a beautiful Milky Way they are not quite sharp enough for publishing anywhere. It was amazing to see hundreds of stars again as where I live the light pollution means that only a handful of the very brightest are visible.

Still, I hope you like this shot and I may post a few more of my experimental captures too - it really was fun to just 'play' with my camera in new surroundings. Enjoy!

We might say that communication consists of transmitting information from one person to another. In fact, many scholars of communication take this as a working definition, and use Lasswell's maxim, "who says what to whom in what channel with what effect," as a means of circumscribing the field of communication theory....

So Sorry for the breech in communication, I will return to my normal scheduled program!

Song: The Update

I Can Hear The Trumpets Blowing Screaming Out The End Of Time

Look Around And Listen And You'll See Every Sign

The Waters Are Polluted As The Forests Are Cut Down

Bombing And Drilling Deep Below Ground

Check The Prophecies From Around The World

And Look Around Now As It All Unfurls

Look Into Yourself And See What Goes On

Get A Feeling In Your Heart Of The Right From Wrong

Because The Mother Earth Needs To Be Respected

Been Far From Too Long That She's Been Neglected

Race Against Race, Such A Foolish Waste

It's Like Cutting Off Your Nose To Spit Your Face

And At The End Of The Wars, What Was The Cost

It's Clear That The Earth Was The One Who Lost

We Are One With Her As She Is One With Us

It's Unreal How She Is Treated So Unjust

As Our Planet Grows Smaller Each And Every Day

Everyone Affecting Everyone In Every Way

We're All Citizens Of The Worl Community

All Here Together And We're Searching For Unity

Over The Years, I've Grown And Changed So Much

Things I Know Now Years Ago, I Couldn't Touch

There Are Things I've Done That I Wouldn't Do Again

But I'm Glad That I Did 'Cause I've Learned From Them

I Just Try To Stay Present Right Here, Right Now

No Worries, No Fears And Without Any Doubts

It's About Time

'Cause In These Times, These Changing Times

A Transition Is Occuring And I Am Not Blind

As The Pendlum Swings A New Age We Enter

And With Every Swing, It Draws Closer To The Center

Yes The Storm Before The Calm And The Wars That Lead To Love

Things Must Run Their Course So We Push And We Shove

But We're Here To Work It Out In One Way Or Another

To Find A Mutual Respect For Ourselves And One Another

And The True Key Is A Trust In Self

For When I Trust Myself, I Fear No One Else

I Took Control Of My Life, Just As Anyone Can

I Want Everyone To See It's In The Palm Of Your Hand

The Past Is Gone, The Future Yet Unborn

But Right Here And Now Is Where It All Goes On

I Know We Can Fix It And It's Not Too Late

I Give Respect To King And His Nonviolent Ways

I Dream And I Hope And I Won't Forget

Someday I'm Going To Visit On A Free Tibet

Someday I'm Going To See Us All Joined As One

And It Would Be Too Bad To Blow It Up Before We're Done

'Cause We Long Behind The Rage Learning From The Pain

The Love Behind The Tension Like The Sun Behind The Rain

I'm Sending Loving Light To All That Is

To All Creation And The Life We Live

I'm Not Preaching Bull Shit, Just Speaking My Mind

'Cause I'm Here Now And It's About Time

• Securing Europe’s subsea infrastructure is more critical than ever as undersea cables form the backbone of global connectivity, carrying 99% of international data. These cables are vital for communication, commerce, and national security. Growing geopolitical tensions, cyber threats, and risks of sabotage make them vulnerable targets, potentially disrupting economies and critical services. As Europe’s dependence on digital infrastructure increases, ensuring the resilience and security of these cables is essential to safeguard data integrity, prevent economic losses, and maintain global stability in an interconnected world. Robust protection strategies are now imperative.

Have a good weekend

Thanks for your faves and comments 👍

(Still on Jan. 17, 2009)

We are at a crossroads on our small planet. As a pacifist, I grieve for the loss of life in each conflict and challenge, for whatever reason. I choose to work toward peace, beginning with myself and my relationship with each individual person I encounter. I believe that I always have a choice in how I create our world. Please… think peace, speak peace, pray peace….in any language, faith, belief, persuasion. “Change one mind. Change the world.”

“Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me.”

Words and Music by Jill Jackson and Sy Miller, Circa 1955.

Let there be peace on earth,

and let it begin with me.

Let there be peace on Earth,

the peace that was meant to be.

With God (Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah, Shiva, Buddha, etc.) as our Father,

brothers all are we,

Let me walk with my brother,

in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me,

let this be the moment now.

With every step I take,

let this be my solemn vow,

To take each moment and live each moment

in peace, eternally.

Let there be Peace on Earth,

and let it begin with me.

Is that You?

" Communicate more,

Conversation can solve most problems"

My contribution to this weeks theme "communication" in the group Fotosöndag.

Back the pioneering days of Classic Space, fast, high capacity data links had yet to be invented. Messages, such as engineering drawings, were sent from the Earth to the Moon via fax. This could lead to files having missing or corrupted sections.

One such damaged transmission resulted in this version of the 886 rover. Lacking the bottom part of the drawings, the engineers attached the four wheels in the way that they thought best.

It is also interesting to note that this spaceman is toting a highly illegal "sawn-off" version of the "torch".

Thank you everyone for all the favs, views, messages & comments. The communication at this time even via the internet is a real bonus.

This photo was taken May 2020 near my home on my permitted daily lockdown walk. Dorset is a rural county on the south coast of England, a very beautiful place to live (moved here from a city in the north of England in 2005). The wild flowers are many & varied.
