Jewel Mountain, Chugach Mountain Range, Alaska
I am not certain if the mountains in Alaska really are endless, or if they just seem that way. But from the moment the plane descended into Anchorage and I first caught a glimpse of them through the clouds, until takeoff a week later when I spent an hour glued to the plane window in absolute awe of the unbelievable scenery we were flying over on a crystal clear winter day, my eyes, mind and heart were immersed in the mountains. There is a wildness to the mountains there, and a sense of being pristine and untouched, that makes them feel different from the mountains here at home.
The sprawling Chugach, the rugged Talkeetnas, and the epic Alaska range, home to Denali, the highest mountain in North America, all provided a visual overload that had me constantly wanting to look in all directions at once, and wishing I could take photos for every one of the 7 3/4 hours of daylight that Alaska offers in mid-February 😄 Even on the two days that it snowed nearly non-stop and the mountains were hidden in the clouds and fog for most of the day, their presence was palpable. And now that I have been home for a few days, I miss them.
Alaska is a place that gets a hold of me in a way that few other places ever have. And though it had been 30 years since my last trip to this special place, once I arrived, somehow it felt like I had always been there.
(I'll admit I was a little skeptical when my daughter asked if we could go to Alaska for her February school break, but it was actually an amazing place to visit in the winter and we are already considering a return trip next year!)
Another work of art by Kader Attia that I made into a multiple exposure.

On May 1st, I set off for a walk at crazy o'clock. The air was so pure and fresh that I took a seemingly endless breath. Fortunately I have no grasses allergy and could enjoy it, wasn't bad for me ;-)
Thanks for taking the time to look at my photo, I really appreciate it!!
I tried adding styles and effects but often nature has her own perfection.
A little more exposure and sharpening was about all it needed,

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

The idea of "everything is connected" comes with Endless Knot. I hope it goes with Macro Monday's theme "connection"
Wikipedia says
" The endless knot or eternal knot (Sanskrit: Shrivatsa; Tibetan དཔལ་བེའུ། dpal be'u; Mongolian Ulzii) is a symbolic knot and one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols. It is an important cultural marker in places significantly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism such as Tibet, Mongolia, Tuva, Kalmykia, and Buryatia. It is also sometimes found in Chinese art and used in Chinese knots.
Various interpretations of the symbol are:
The eternal continuum of mind.
The endless knot iconography symbolised Samsara i.e., the endless cycle of suffering or birth, death and rebirth within Tibetan Buddhism.
The inter-twining of wisdom and compassion.
Interplay and interaction of the opposing forces in the dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union, and ultimately to harmony in the universe.
The mutual dependence of religious doctrine and secular affairs.
The union of wisdom and method.
The inseparability of emptiness (shunyata) and dependent origination, the underlying reality of existence.
Symbolic of knot symbolism in linking ancestors and omnipresence (refer etymology of Tantra, Yoga and religion) (see Namkha.)
Since the knot has no beginning or end it also symbolizes the wisdom of the Buddha."

Cala Junco is located in the southernmost part of the island and is considered the most beautiful and evocative inlet in all of Panarea. It is located on the right of the promontory of Capo Milazzese, of which in ancient times it was a natural port.
It is a natural swimming pool formed by high basalt rocks, characterized by a transparent sea with colors ranging from green to turquoise, particularly clear thanks to the stony seabed.

Cala Junco si trova nella parte più meridionale dell'isola ed è considerata l'insenatura più bella e suggestiva di tutta Panarea. Si trova sulla destra del promontorio di Capo Milazzese, di cui anticamente era porto naturale.
Si tratta di una piscina naturale formata da alti scogli di basalto, caratterizzata da un mare trasparente con colori che vanno dal verde al turchese, particolarmente limpido grazie a fondali sassosi.
While our holidays in Provence (France) we have been
in Valensole (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence) to visit
these endless Lavender-Fields.
You can´t imagine the scent and the mood
while standing there in the setting sun.
Maybe this photo can give you a little idea
how wonderful these moments have been.
Thank you for your visits, faves and comments.
The Hücker Moor is a nice little lake in the Herford area (Northwest Germany). Peat was cut here more than a century ago and created this lovely landscape. Today the place is a great location for wildlife and worth a trip for the local folks in all seasons.
