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.

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.

Art saved me; it got me through my depression and self-loathing, back to a place of innocence. -Jeanette Winterson
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

The Cham-Furth Depression (German: Cham-Further Senke, Czech: Všerubská vrchovina) is a lowland in the Upper Palatine-Bavarian Forest that separates the Upper Palatinate Forest from the Bavarian Forest. At the same time it connects the Upper Palatinate with Bohemia.
It is divided into the Cham basin in the west at a height of 360 to 400 metres, which extends from Roding roughly as far as Arnschwang, and the smaller Furth depression in the east, which extends to Bohemia at heights of 400 to 500 metres. The Furth valley is bounded in the east by the European watershed. Its highest point is Kameňák (Steinwald, 751 m) near Svatá Kateřina (St. Katharina).
This image was taken near Cham.
You are working so hard, trying to remember what the light looks like even when you can’t see it, even when you can’t look up, even when you can’t open your eyes. You capture the light for incredibly difficult moments like this when you’re not sure how you will be able to continue on, to help yourself remember what the light looks like, what the light feels like.
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 ...

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.

Last night I was at the bar. Everyone was normally drink beer. Yesterday we drank vodka, Fernet and tulamore. Tulamore no longer. Everything we drank. WHY? Lawyer, a truck driver, programmer (that's me) and random prostitute. We are all depressed! The truck driver told how to carry pipes to the city of Dachau. We increased depression and we drank and drank and drank!
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"
Just experimenting with abstract reality around the house. I appreciate your visit, Fave and compliments. I hate to say that this in country a lot of people are depressed.
