Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
Gaztelugatxe es un islote de la localidad vizcaína de Bermeo, País Vasco, España. Está unido al continente por un puente de dos arcos. Sobre la isla hay una ermita dedicada a San Juan que data del siglo X, aunque algunos descubrimientos datan del siglo IX. Dicha ermita se edificó sobre los restos de un castillo adscrito al Reino de Navarra y que fue asediado, sin ser tomado, por las tropas castellanas. Junto con otra pequeña isla vecina, la de Aqueche, forma un biotopo protegido, que se extiende desde la localidad de Baquio hasta el cabo Machichaco en Bermeo, en el golfo de Vizcaya.
La costa vizcaína en este lugar es agreste. El mar trabaja sin cesar erosionando la roca, areniscas y duras calizas de arrecife, y tallando en ella túneles, arcos y cuevas. La isla de Gaztelugache es el corazón de este interesante tramo de costa, junto con la pequeña isla de los conejos, la isla de Akatx, paraíso de las aves marinas.
Sobre la isla de Gaztelugache hay una ermita consagrada a San Juan. Junto a la ermita hay un pequeño refugio que permite protegerse del viento y poder realizar una merienda disfrutando del mar y de las aves que anidan en estos lares.
El acceso es espectacular. Un estrecho camino que parte de tierra firme y cruza sobre las rocas por un puente de piedra permite llegar hasta la zona superior del islote después de ascender 241 escalones. El camino se encuentra asimismo jalonado con las sucesivas estaciones de un Viacrucis. Suele ser tradición entre los caminantes tocar la campana de la ermita, como símbolo por el esfuerzo realizado, una vez ascendidos los 241 escalones.3 El esfuerzo merece la pena.
El islote está atravesado por túneles y hay numerosos arcos. A sus lados se abren playas de piedra que suelen ser muy utilizadas por los buceadores.
La costa, acantilada, está cubierta de vegetación. Destaca en esta el endemismo vasco y el acebuche y sobre ellos hay árgomas, encinas y brezos. En el mar, de fondos rocosos, existen praderas de algas, con especies como las laminarias o saccorhizas. La población piscícola es la típica del Cantábrico, donde abundan lubinas, fanecas, congrios o chicharros, y se completa con babosas, carraspios, julias e invertebrados como actinias, erizos, holoturias, pulpos, nécoras y centollos, además de los percebes que se encaraman en la roca.
Las aves marinas son muy abundantes. La existencia de espacios amplios, como la isla de Aqueche a la que solo se pueden acceder por mar, hacen que puedan reproducirse con tranquilidad. Entre las aves que crían aquí destaca, por su rareza y pequeño tamaño, el paíño común. Abundan además, las gaviotas patiamarilla, los cormoranes moñudos y las palomas bravías.
Aunque hay frecuentes discrepancias respecto a qué municipio pertenece el istmo de Gaztelugache, este se encuentra dentro de los límites de la Villa de Bermeo.
Gaztelugatxe is an islet in the Vizcaya town of Bermeo, Basque Country, Spain. It is linked to the mainland by a two-arch bridge. On the island there is a hermitage dedicated to San Juan that dates from the 10th century, although some discoveries date from the 9th century. Said hermitage was built on the remains of a castle attached to the Kingdom of Navarra and which was besieged, without being taken, by Castilian troops. Together with another small neighboring island, that of Aqueche, it forms a protected biotope, which extends from the town of Baquio to Cape Machichaco in Bermeo, in the Bay of Biscay.
The Biscayan coast in this place is wild. The sea works incessantly eroding the rock, sandstone and hard reef limestone, and carving tunnels, arches and caves in it. The island of Gaztelugache is the heart of this interesting stretch of coast, together with the small island of rabbits, the island of Akatx, a paradise for seabirds.
On the island of Gaztelugache there is a hermitage consecrated to San Juan. Next to the hermitage there is a small shelter that allows you to protect yourself from the wind and to be able to have a snack enjoying the sea and the birds that nest in these parts.
The access is spectacular. A narrow path that starts from the mainland and crosses over the rocks by a stone bridge allows you to reach the upper part of the islet after climbing 241 steps. The road is also marked out with the successive stations of a Via Crucis. It is usually a tradition among walkers to ring the hermitage bell, as a symbol of the effort made, once the 241 steps have been ascended.3 The effort is worth it.
The islet is crossed by tunnels and there are numerous arches. On its sides there are stone beaches that are often used by divers.
The coast, steep, is covered with vegetation. The Basque endemism and the wild olive tree stand out in this area, and on top of them there are gorse, holm oaks and heather. In the sea, with rocky bottoms, there are seaweed meadows, with species such as laminarias or saccorhizas. The fish population is typical of the Cantabrian Sea, where sea bass, pouts, conger eels or mackerels abound, and is completed with slugs, carraspios, julias and invertebrates such as actinia, sea urchins, holothurians, octopus, crabs and spider crabs, as well as barnacles that perch on the rock.
Sea birds are very abundant. The existence of wide spaces, such as the island of Aqueche, which can only be accessed by sea, means that they can reproduce with ease. Among the birds that breed here, due to its rarity and small size, the common storm petrel stands out. There are also plenty of yellow-legged gulls, shags and rock doves.
Although there are frequent discrepancies regarding which municipality the Gaztelugache isthmus belongs to, it is within the limits of the Villa de Bermeo.
We take it for granted and for the most part are oblivious to the landscape around us in which we exist.

Each of us is interconnected in the web of existence, and we are deeply affected by each other’s suffering. If Christ’s suffering brings a Christian to see the cross in everyone’s suffering, then the Christian will do all he or she can to help relieve that suffering. It’s then that the gospel has done its job. If Israel’s suffering brings a Jew to see his or her suffering in the suffering of everyone else, it’s then that the Torah has done its job. Without taking action to relieve suffering there can be no Jew; there can be no Christian.
-Jesus : first-century rabbi / Rabbi David Zaslow with Joseph Lieberman.
Introduction
2019 Beautiful praise and worship music | Gospel Video Songs | "The Life of Man Cannot Be Without God's Sovereignty"
Not a thing, not a man can be without
the rule, the sovereignty of God.
Man’s life or life in flesh would be no more
without God’s rule and provisions.
This is the import of God’s establishment
of environments for man’s survival.
Everything God does for man’s survival
and their multiplication is of importance.
Every single thing He does among all things,
it is so integral to man’s existence.
No matter your race or in what land you live,
in the East or in the West, you cannot part
from the environments for survival
for all mankind established by God.
Not a thing, not a man can be without
the rule, the sovereignty of God.
Man’s life or life in flesh would be no more
without God’s rule and provisions.
This is the import of God’s establishment
of environments for man’s survival.
You cannot ever separate yourself
from God’s nurturing or His provisions
God keeps giving you through the environments
He’s established for all mankind’s survival.
Not a thing, not a man can be without
the rule, the sovereignty of God.
Man’s life or life in flesh would be no more
without God’s rule and provisions.
This is the import of God’s establishment
of environments for man’s survival.
No matter your livelihood, what you rely on to live,
no matter how your life in the flesh is sustained,
you can’t separate yourself from God’s rule,
you cannot separate from God’s management.
Not a thing, not a man can be without
the rule, the sovereignty of God.
Man’s life or life in flesh would be no more
without God’s rule and provisions.
This is the import of God’s establishment
of environments for man’s survival.

Alien art
On this planet, there is a transporter to enter other planet, "planet happiness". The transporter has been guarded with robotic animals to block the aggressive people. The good aliens on this planet have been beamed to the happiness planet which is very beautiful, and there is not any danger there like war, aggression, sicknesses and viruses, hunger, racism, nationalism, etc. They have there plenty of time to enjoy their existence without any disturbance.
We want a better world. We can not wait that the nature makes a modification, a mutation, and subsequently makes us stronger enough to root out all the problems we have in our world. We have to make our society stronger so that we can cope with the problems more easily.
A bit late in posting these :) but our campsite from this year's Relay for Life of Second Life! ♥

I always feel like I am just not doing enough in this world. It's impossible to not see the headlines, the seemingly inevitably race to the end, the constant turmoil. But, if I was this cat, I might only see sunshine and feel the bliss of daily existence. I wonder what that might actually be like not feeling like you've been through a car wreck every day.
I used to have more energy for everyday moments...or at least I think I did.

The journey into homelessness is rarely a singular event, but rather a complex accumulation of personal and systemic fractures. The path likely began with the quiet erosion of stability—perhaps the loss of a long-held career followed by the gradual disintegration of social support. As the fabric of his everyday life unravelled, economic pressures and perhaps health struggles may have removed a safety net to cushion the descent. A story of resilience in the face of immense adversity, illustrating how a person can become unmoored from society's structures, forced to navigate a stark, solitary existence while remaining an often invisible observer of the world.

The first reference of Flossenbürg's existence was in 948. Its castle was the Hohenstaufen's stronghold. Later, Flossenbürg belonged to the duchy of Neuburg-Sulzbach and came to the country court of Floß in the electorate of Bavaria in 1777. Today, it is located in the administrative region of Oberpfalz.
The town was the site of Flossenbürg concentration camp from 1938 until 1945.
I swear everytime I post something its related to some stupid change which has occured. Ugh. The last of the MRL locomotives have finally been removed from mainline service due to BNSF PTC going live. How ironic that the MRL was actually who began this PTC project but in the end became the victim. It's truly a waste as all 5 GP35's are likely sidelined but at the very least unable to lead trains any longer. Over the last few years of its existence the MRL spent over $500,000 to upgrade all 6 GP35's with a complete rewire and upgrade of the control system. MRL 405 has an easy tell by the red antennae right behind the cab. A close eye will also reveal the MRL 404 has been completed, as the class lights it wore its entire career have been removed and tastefully patched during the rewire. This was all done in house by MRL employees, not contractors. Now, who knows what will happen to them? Always thought they were pretty neat units who didn't seem to be very popular elsewhere but for the most part were very good workhorses in local service across Montana.
In spite of having totally different exterior coatings. One is freshly painted and the other beautifully striped.
So remote that I can't remember exactly where this is! I think that it is probably in Lunedale on the B6276 between Brough and Middleton-in-Teesdale, but I could easily be wrong!
It was certainly wild countryside even on a relatively nice day of sunshine and showers. It must be so bleak in the depths of winter.

Was actually slightly grey
Darker around the edges
A definite tinge
A flirtatious curve at the bottom
As if daring you to imagine something
Transform it into a different existence
It’s texture was surprising
Smooth and soft like the very top
Of a snowy slope
But hung indoors
It reflected onto the black linoleum floor that was speckled
With unpredictable dashes of white
When you looked down
You imagined
You were floating in a
Modern art galaxy very far away
From everything and everyone
You know
When you looked up you realized
It wasn’t a blank canvas at all.

In May, I went to a doctor's appointment that was very difficult for me. Most of the time, I try to forget about my biology but my heart will often skip beats and I keep spending more money to get no answers, making me wonder if it's just in my head.
I have been living in Chicago for over 20 years but I had never come across The Arts Club of Chicago even though it is located very central downtown near a couple of doctor's offices. It was a dreary day and I spent some time wandering around and happened upon this gallery featuring the exhibit by Huguette Caland: Bribes de corps. It's amazing how art finds you when you least expect it. I found myself staring at canvases and writing poems to calm my nervous system.
This exhibit is ending very soon but I revisited this weekend. The bottom section is the actual canvas. The top portion is a multiple exposure of the canvas and a photograph of a woman passing by from the window opposite of the painting.
