...
when I am another, my acts
are more mine when they are the acts
of others, in order to be I must be another,
leave myself, search for myself
in the others, the others that don't exist
if I don't exist, the others that give me
total existence, I am not,
there is no I, we are always us,
life is other, always there,
further off, beyond you and
beyond me, always on the horizon,
life which unlives us and makes us strangers,
that invents our face and wears it away...

Long exposure by stacking 74 photos of 1sec exposure over a 5sec interval. First intention was to take 1 long exposure of 2min+, but due to heavy gusting, it was not possible to do this without vibrations in the photos. Blankenberge - Belgium
Existence is not a reflection, it is not flying in the air or walking on water, but walking on the earth and leaving your mark.

For this week's Macro Monday theme "Hot or Cold". Making metal catch on fire.
First of some fun playing with various shutter speeds.
“Any new possibility that existence acquires, even the least likely, transforms everything about existence.”
Milan Kundera
Slowness. 1995
«Cada nueva posibilidad de la existencia, incluso la menos probable, transforma la existencia entera»
La lentitud. 1995
Milan Kundera (UK: /ˈkʊndərə, ˈkʌn-/, Czech: [ˈmɪlan ˈkundɛra]; 1 April 1929 – 11 July 2023) was a Czech-born French novelist. Kundera went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979 but he was re-granted Czech citizenship in 2019.
One of my favorite writers ever. Rest in peace.
For all the time of its existence, fortress has changed 3 names. The original name is Agarani (historians have identified it as Kojris tsikhe). It is located on Mount Azeula (Trialeti Ridge). The exact date of construction of the fortress is unknown. According to archaeologists, it was built in the late eighth-early ninth century. It controlled the caravan route from Gardabani to Shida Kartli and from Tbilisi to Trialeti.
Since 1080, the fortress passes to the Seljuk Turks. Under their rule, the name Ker Oglu appears. This name is common to this day. Then the fortress passes to Emir Fadlun.
1118. The fortress was recaptured by David IV Agmashenebeli (the Builder) from the Ganja Emir Fadlun. After some time, the fortress again passes to the emir, then, after three months of fighting, the fortress again passed to David. In 1123, David IV gave the fortress to Prince Ioane Orbeli.
1177. The fortress appears in the history of the uprising against Tsar George III (the father of Queen Tamar). The princes of Orbeli (or Orbeliani) did not share something with the king, they made a noise. The rebels took refuge in the fortress, and in the same year the fortress was taken by storm. As a result, the Knizia were defeated, losing all their lands.
And what about without Queen Tamar (1184-1212). The chronicles mention that Tamara, who was seriously ill, spent about six months here.
Since the XV century, Agarani belongs to the Solagashvili family and appears in the sources as Kojris-tsikhe. The ruins of the Kabensky Monastery are relatively close by. One of the churches was a tomb of this kind.
In 1488, Iranian troops besieged the Kojor fortress. After that, the fortress does not particularly appear in the chronicles. Only the appearance of the palace in the XVII century is mentioned. There were no other key events in the history of the fortress.
Older image. Pre-pandemic.
I like the way this sits alone. Seems a shame. I have never seen any sign of occupation.
Happy Window Wednesday
The Church was built in 1799 on the former Caminho dos Pinheiros, today Rua da Consolação, with the help of alms from devotees to Our Lady of Consolation and with the endorsement of the diocesan bishop Mateus de Abreu Pereira were able to begin its construction, with the technique of taipa, quite common at the time. The oldest record of its construction is a document transcribed by Jacinto Ribeiro, in which it attributes the idealization of the temple to the faithful Luiz da Silva and his brothers. Located in a boggy and marshy region there is another document proving the Church's ancient existence: on November 23, 1803, an office was registered that showed the need for drinking water for the residents of the neighborhood "Nossa Senhora da Consolação". In view of the custom of baptizing the district with religious names, mainly related to sanctuaries, the Church, besides already existing, corresponded to an important piece for the functioning of the region. And, in the year 1810, a plant in the city of São Paulo contained the chapel.

Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?
Hannah Gale
There was a little dinosaur,
who made a rock his friend.
He took the rock everywhere,
and said he'd keep it till the end.
One day it was a wee bit cold,
so he held it very close.
But when he felt it start to move,
he thought that it was gross.
First popped out the little head,
then some arms and legs.
So which one really did come first?
The chicken? No. The egg.
Day 180/365:
A bit short of time today by the time I remembered I hadn't got my photo. I grabbed my 70-200 to see if I could get a bit of an arty flower shot. This is a double exposure. The first really close up and blurred, the second in focus. The intense pink from the first shot against the green backdrop, gave the brownish tinge. A bit of faffing then a couple of textures added.
