Yes, I am still confronting our huge and serious problems of today that we seem to want to ignore and yet which are real and are effecting our daily lives. We must address climate change and admit that it is we who are creating it and do something about it. Or are we just going to wait until it is too late???

La confrontation avec l’archétype ou l’instinct signifie un problème éthique de premier ordre, dont celui-là seul commence à sentir l’urgence qui se trouve placé devant la nécessité d’assumer ou non l’assimilation de l’inconscient et l’intégration de sa personnalité.

Sembrerebbe, in effetti, una immagine realizzata in Africa, dove l'ibis sacro è immagine simbolo dei luoghi antropizzati e più o meno degradati. Invece è stata realizzata nella Laguna nord di Venezia, dove la specie si è insediata a partire da circa due decenni fa. Recentemente il numero di individui è aumentato considerevolmente, ma non è nulla in confronto al Piemonte, dove gli ibis sacri sono migliaia ..... ..
Job 30:27 “I am seething within and cannot relax; Days of affliction confront me.”
(Bloomberg) -- Warren Buffett, whose economic insights are craved for Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s deep ties to the American economy, had a gloomy prediction for his own businesses: the good times may be over.
“The majority of our businesses will report lower earnings this year than last year,” Buffett, 92, said, before crowds of thousands at the event on Saturday. During the last six months or so, the “incredible period” for the US economy has been coming to an end, he said.

"L'esilio dell'anima verso l'ignoto" è una potente metafora artistica che affonda le radici nella filosofia antica (Platone vedeva il corpo come una prigione dell'anima) e si manifesta in varie forme attraverso i secoli, simboleggiando la condizione umana di alienazione, la ricerca spirituale e il confronto con l'ignoto o l'aldilà.
L'esilio è visto come un "paradigma dell'esistenza", un viaggio incessante che allontana da un punto di origine ma mantiene una costante ricerca di un "luogo dell'anima" in cui sentirsi a casa. Il confronto con l'ignoto e la mortalità ha portato gli artisti a esplorare la possibilità della trascendenza o della liberazione spirituale, come nel caso di T.S. Eliot e la sua svolta verso la religione, o di artisti che vedono l'arte come un modo per guardarsi dentro. Movimenti come il Simbolismo e il Surrealismo, che si oppongono al realismo per creare mondi fantastici e onirici attraverso allusioni simboliche, sono particolarmente adatti a rappresentare concetti astratti come l'anima e l'ignoto
"You confront me."
"I thought you wanted me to. I mean I thought I was doing what you wanted me to. You... you know and... and... and we don't even have to. My cab is ready. I can just leave and we can always meet later. Just, just call. OK? I'm staying with Phil. You have his number, don't you? You do. You do. Call and we'll meet... where... wherever... you want. It's really all up to you. That might even be better. Anything. I... I... I don't know. I... I... I don't, I don't mind really. Whatever. I mean you call and let me know. I'll stay with Phil a few days. I'll let you know... where... where I'd go after. You want me to. Right? I mean I know, I know you want that. That's what we need. That's what we should do. Hey, what do you say? Huh? Isn't that better? I thought we'd go out for lunch today but that's all right. You stay in. Do whatever and we'll meet again. Just call, just..."
"You confront me not I. That's why it disturbs. It's just that."
He put the package down. First, he looked around the room and considered the console. It was a bit far. He had to walk all the length of the room. Coffee table was busy. That coffee table never had any room for anything. He could just leave it there where he was on the floor. He could do that. Why can't he just put it on the floor? Just there, right where he's standing, beside his feet. He could do that.
"I confront you... I... I..."
"You confront me... me.... You confront 'me'.... Me not I. You confront me. That's why it disturbs. You confront me not I."
Having been confronted head on by the dominant male this stag deferred and led the herd of young male and female deer up the hill. In his own time the dominant male left the clearing where they had been browsing and grazing to bring up the rear. With an occasioonal backward glance they were soon all out of sight.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
I was planning a morning trip to Crosby to have a go at Anthony Gormley's Another Place. Driving up The Wirral to the Mersey Tunnel made me have a rethink as there was no way I'd have been able to see anything. The only places I could think of to try and get above the fog were Everton Brow and the Princes Dock multi-storey car park.
Everton Brow overlooks the whole of Liverpool city centre but probably isn't the most advisable place to be wandering around in the dark on a foggy morning so I made the decision to try the car park. This wasn't without risk either having been refused entry several times before by security and I didn't want to pay £9 for two hours parking in case I wasn't above the fog. However, I was prepared to try a little bribe and bought a coffee from 'Bean' coffeeshop which occupies one of the retail units at the base of the car park in the hope if challenged they'd readily accept.
When I entered the foyer the blind was down on the security room so I pressed for the lift and nervously hit the top floor button. A couple of flights of stairs to the roof parking area slowly revealed the tops of many of the iconic skyline buildings poking out above the fog below. I sat for half an hour drinking the coffee and smoking too many roll ups as it started to get light and the city began to come alive with lights coming on and the traffic beginning to build.
The fog was swirling between the buildings and eventually began to clear enough to reveal a nice sky and this was the scene that presented itself when it was finally light enough to see some colour.
Superb morning with conditions I doubt I'll ever see again. Would I recommend it? Probably not as I was convinced I'd be confronted by security any minute.
Was it worth the risk? Absolutely, though it was wrong on so many levels....
HSS!

Thanks to everyone who has visited. A confronting photo for some people. I appreciate very much the kind comments and faves which have been left.
A huntsman spider, probably Heteropoda jugulans. Male and female huntsman spiders are similar in size with the males having longer legs and females slightly bigger bodies. Actually, I am not sure whether this is a male or female. Unlike many spiders, the males do not risk being eaten after mating. Some species of huntsman spiders live in colonies. Normally, huntsman spiders are nocturnal. However, this spider was out in the afternoon. It has eight eyes. The upper four appear closed. Perhaps it was squinting because of the bright light.
For the Macro Mondays theme "Inspired by a Song". The song I chose is "Boris the Spider" by the Who. Perhaps a slightly larger spider than the Who had in mind but definitely a little creepy. The spider was on a variegated bromeliad leaf in my garden and was left undisturbed after being photographed. Huntsman spiders can also be found indoors.
Macrophotography has made me appreciate what a diverse and fascinating group of animals that spiders are.
HMM!

Boris the Spider by The Who
Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Now he's dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now, I can't see
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly
Creepy,…
“Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing.”

Un confronto tra due momenti, due sistemi, due elaborazioni: questa scattata con la compatta Lumix (7mm= e l'altra fatta con la Coolpix Nikon 8400 che vantava un obbiettivo più grandangolare (6,1mm),Questa rielaborata con i soli strumenti di Photoshop, l' altra con l' ausilio dell' HDR.

Confronted again by old nemesis, the wind. It was a dark, dark night with the lighthouse beams only darkening the almost-pitch black area.
On a previous visit I had slipped in some mud and messed up my hand, thereby ending the evening. I was a little more careful this time, although the gusts of wind threatened to push me off the cliffs a number of times.
Heading back to the car, now completely windswept, we noticed that the previously empty car park had another car in it. Not the doggers again! Seems like everywhere I go there are mysterious cars just waiting... watching...
No, non è il testo di una nota canzone, ma il risultato immediato del transito del primo treno della mattina nei confronti della nebbia mattutina che spesso avvolge la valle e che al contrario delle prime impressioni pessimistiche ha invece donato a questa foto un aspetto caratteristico.
“Love and peace of mind do protect us. They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us. They teach us to survive… to live now… to have the courage to confront each day.” —Bernie Siegel
The Thurisaz rune (ᚦ) represents the ability to confront obstacles, the strength to endure adversity, and the protection of mighty forces. Like the thorn it symbolizes, this rune reminds you that true strength lies not just in attack, but in defense and resilience. It suggests that you have the inner fortitude to face any challenge that stands in your way, urging you to stand firm and embrace your power.
Thurisaz is a rune of both conflict and transformation, showing that through struggle, growth is achieved. It calls on you to harness your inner strength wisely, channeling your energy to break through barriers and drive positive change. More than just a force of destruction, Thurisaz is a guardian—its presence in your path signifies that you are not alone, as unseen forces shield and guide you. Whether in battle, personal trials, or major life transitions, this rune is a reminder that your resilience is your greatest weapon, and through perseverance, victory is within reach.
"Thurisaz is the force that breaks and the strength that endures—embrace the storm, for it forges the warrior within."
"Confronted with the result / of my earlier doings //
I decided to deny / all allegations //
And to leave / at once"
"Geconfronteerd met het resultaat / van mijn eerder handelen // Besloot ik alle aantijgingen / te ontkennen //
En per direct / te vertrekken"
