I took this at Deer River, which goes to show that even the most gorgeous places can be home to subtle as well. Read about Deer River here on on my blog.

It's weird how and when depression can hit you, because sometimes it comes out of nowhere. Sometimes everything can be going great in your life, better than they've ever been, and out of no where wham! Like a big rig slamming into you it just hits, you don't know why, there's nothing "wrong", nothing happened, you just all of a sudden feel down.
It's hard to even talk about, because what is there to say? Someone asks what's wrong, and the only response that really comes to mind is "I don't know". What do you do when it hits, when you're not a person who goes through it regularly enough to have a fix ready? When you're someone who doesn't take medication, or have a therapist, and you're just all of a sudden just feeling like complete and utter shit despite nothing you can think of being wrong?
I have answers for a lot of life's questions, I try to share them with you every day to help those who need it, this though is one I still haven't figured out.

Take thee even or take thee odd, I would not sleep here if I could,
Except for the memories and the stillness that now resides.

The gentle depression of the ancient earthwork, Grimms Ditch, leads through the land of the beech trees. Love how those on the slope gently curve upwards making for some wonderful compositions. Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire.

If you look at suicides, most of them are connected to depression. And the mental health system just fails them. It's so sad. We know what to do. We just don't do it. - Rosalynn Carter

Hakuba is a municipality located to the north of Azumino Valley. It is in the same tectonic depression called Fossa Magna (Itoigawa - Shizuoka Tectonic Line) as Azumino and Suwa, but in the different watershed of the Himekawa (姫川) river that rises in Hakuba and flows northward into the Sea of Japan. Hakuba municipality calls the watershed Hakuba Valley.
Hakuba Valley is famous for the heavy snowfall in winter that is caused by the northwestern monsoon across the Sea of Japan. It is only 50km to Itoigawa (糸魚川) in Niigata prefecture (新潟県) on the Japan Sea coast. Hakuba and Otari (小谷), its northern neighbour, heavily depend on ski tourism.
This photo was taken from a Iwatake gondola lift.
I took 32 images of this composition, I achieved this photo after the 6th image and another 26 images chasing a recreation of the effect, I didn’t, I came close but no cigar. I didn’t envisage this photo before I took it, it was the result of experimentation. The composition of a single exposed rock was chosen to line up with mist muted sun radiating across the sea using a reverse ND grad. Right exposure but the shutter speed was too fast so I added a 6 stop ND filter, this slowed the shutter speed from 1/10 of a sec to 1.3 seconds with a couple of tweaks of the ISO, then hey pesto this lovely whirlpool effect around the rock, as soon the dark image flashed on the lcd I knew I had something, it was a bit different and so I found out not to be repeated. Have a nice weekend.
Since last night I'm feeling quite depressive because of the never ending nonsense named 'lockdown'.
Now everybody can proof that there isn't and wasn't a pandemic situation at all;
but governments don't end their course!
My power slowly goes away ...

When It All Falls Down.
The darkness tries taking over me at night
I’m not afraid anymore
I walked through the fire and I made it, I made it.
Got myself up off the floor
I was locked in a cage of my own damn state of mind
Depression don’t you call
Depression don’t you call
You’ll get a busy tone
The darkness tries takin over me at night
‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.
Yeah
When it all falls
I’m not ashamed anymore
When my light fades away, I won’t fake it, won’t fake it
Cause now I know I’m not alone
Everybody got their own shit, bad days, pain to face
Depression makes you small
Until you see you’re powerful
The darkness tries takin over me at night
‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.
Yeah
The darkness tries takin over me at night
‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.
Yeah
When it all falls down.

This can be a tough time of the year for many people.
I know the devastation that depression can do to you and your loved ones.
Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home.
Depression affects an estimated one in 15 adults (6.7%) in any given year. And one in six people (16.6%) will experience depression at some time in their life. Depression can occur at any time, but on average, first appears during the late teens to mid-20s. Women are more likely than men to experience depression. Some studies show that one-third of women will experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime. There is a high degree of heritability (approximately 40%) when first-degree relatives (parents/children/siblings) have depression.
During the Great Depression my mother’s parents did everything they could think of to keep their family fed and sheltered. Among other things Grandma became a dressmaker in their home and Grandpa made jewelry. My mother passed these earrings along to me before she died.

Kalopsia and i thank you for your visits and kind words . We appreciated and they meant a lot to us. .
My depressive peak that has been devastating me for several weeks seems to be coming to an end. It's a hard work on myself, and I wouldn't have the strength without my loved ones, and psychological help.
Pascal Quignard said that the only cure for depression is depression. To say it differently, I would say that the scars left by it are like the golden joints of the art of Kintsugi.

"Depression feels like something dark and rough, eating you from the inside. It feels like sharp, jagged rocks, forming from the inside of your heart. Slowly, piercing through every cell of your heart, jutting its way outside. Until finally... finally... it consumes you. Then, you become one with it"
