是什麼 讓我遇見這樣的你
是什麼 讓我不再懷疑自己
是什麼 讓我不再害怕失去
在這茫茫人海裡
我不要變得透明
How was it that I met someone like you?
What was it that I no longer doubt myself?
What was it that I no longer fear loss?
In this vast sea of people,
I do not want to become invisible

我是宇宙間的塵埃
微不足道的一種狀態
偶然成了誰的最愛
多想相信永恆存在
I'm a speck of dust in the universe:
Negligible, insignificant
By chance I became someone's beloved,
And I want to believe in the existence of the eternal
我是宇宙間的塵埃
漂泊在這茫茫人海
若你是我必然的存在
多想從此不再離開
I'm but a speck of dust in the universe,
Floating amidst a sea of people
If you were to be my inevitable existence,
Then I'd never leave
若時間注定要讓你離開
我又該怎麼學會不依賴
If time decides to let you go,
How should I learn not to be dependent of you....

Sakharibazar, Old Dhaka, 2011
Normal people with extraordinary lifestyles
Along with smile and the gloomy, here life has its own rhyme, has its own colour.
Time passed by, humanity changed along with its history...
But these people remained here tolerating the hardest truth of existences
..........its their story of extraordinary existences.
Sakharibazar, Old Dhaka. A very interesting place for all of us to visit. Culture and customs of old Dhaka are the tribute to the ancient history of Bangladesh. Peoples still living in 100 years old building from generations after generations. With the reflection of their religious beauty Old Dhaka attracts peoples from here and abroad.
Shakhari Bazaar is one of the oldest mohallas (a traditional neighbourhood) in Puran Dhaka (Old Dhaka), located near the intersection of Islampur Road and Nawabpur Road;the two main arteries of the old city and only a block away from the Buriganga River. Shakhari Bazaar stretches along a narrow lane, lined with thin slices of richly decorated brick buildings, built during the late Mughal or Colonial period. Despite rampant modifications, accretion, extension over time, even redevelopment, many still bear the testimony of a rich tradition.
Shakhari Bazaar is the manifestation of the irrational policies, lack of adequate development control rules and distorted legal framework, all of which have left their indelible mark on this precious little mohalla that shares a long history of more than 400 years with Dhaka city itself.The history of Shakhari Bazaar goes back to the pre-Mughal days if not earlier. The first mention of Puran Dhaka can be found in the writings of Mirza Nathan, the general turned historian, who traveled with Subahdar Islam Khan. He mentioned Puran Dhaka, as the area between Dholai Khal and Buriganga river covering Shakhari Bazaar, Tanti Bazaar, Bangla Bazaar, Lakhsmi Bazaar, Bangla Bazaar, Kamar Nagar, Sutar Nagar, Goala Nagar, etc. Each mohalla belonged to separate communities depending on their craft and trade. The influences of the Mughal vocabulary in the planning of the spaces are literally evident in the use of Persian names to identify different spaces..
The existence of 3rd class travel was an eye opener to me when i visited Sri Lanka recently. To be honest there wasn't much difference between 3rd and 2nd nor 1st on some trains.
These old carriages were built in Romania in the 1940s and are very basic. The ride is incredible and you feel that the carriage could bounce off the track at any time. You get used to the noise of metal on metal as the suspension struggles to separate the carriage from the bogies.
Sri Lanka is a colourful country. This lady looks for her seat on this service heading north which is listed as an Office Train. The time was 1545ish and the location Colombo Fort station. Normally you would expect the train to be full to bursting with 4 or 5 passengers hanging out of each door.

this young Arctic Fox approached us when we were sitting on a rock in Svalbard ( Spitsbergen ), Norway.
We had been observing it from a distance while it was playing in the snow and harassing its more shy sibling.
As mentioned below the chances of surviving their first year are very slim for these beautiful canids.

from Wikipedia:
"The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus), also known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow fox, is a small species of fox native to the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere and common throughout the Arctic tundra biome. It is well adapted to living in cold environments, and is best known for its thick, warm fur that is also used as camouflage. It has a large and very fluffy tail. In the wild, most individuals do not live past their first year but some exceptional ones survive up to 11 years. Its body length ranges from 46 to 68 cm (18 to 27 in), with a generally rounded body shape to minimize the escape of body heat.
The Arctic fox preys on many small creatures such as lemmings, voles, ringed seal pups, fish, waterfowl, and seabirds. It also eats carrion, berries, seaweed, and insects and other small invertebrates. Arctic foxes form monogamous pairs during the breeding season and they stay together to raise their young in complex underground dens. Occasionally, other family members may assist in raising their young. Natural predators of the Arctic fox are golden eagles, Arctic wolves, polar bears, wolverines, red foxes, and grizzly bears.
Arctic foxes must endure a temperature difference of up to 90–100 °C (160–180 °F) between the external environment and their internal core temperature. To prevent heat loss, the Arctic fox curls up tightly tucking its legs and head under its body and behind its furry tail. This position gives the fox the smallest surface area to volume ratio and protects the least insulated areas. Arctic foxes also stay warm by getting out of the wind and residing in their dens. Although the Arctic foxes are active year-round and do not hibernate, they attempt to preserve fat by reducing their locomotor activity. They build up their fat reserves in the autumn, sometimes increasing their body weight by more than 50%. This provides greater insulation during the winter and a source of energy when food is scarce.
In the spring, the Arctic fox's attention switches to reproduction and a home for their potential offspring. They live in large dens in frost-free, slightly raised ground. These are complex systems of tunnels covering as much as 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft) and are often in eskers, long ridges of sedimentary material deposited in formerly glaciated regions. These dens may be in existence for many decades and are used by many generations of foxes. "

The Supreme Court of Western Australia is the highest state court in the Australian State of Western Australia. It has unlimited jurisdiction within the state in civil matters (although it usually only hears matters involving sums of A$750,000 or more), and hears the most serious criminal matters.
Structure
The Supreme Court consists of a General Division (equivalent to the Trial Division in other states) and the Court of Appeal.
The General Division deals with serious criminal matters, civil cases where the dispute is of a complex nature or the amount claimed is greater than $750,000, criminal appeals from the Magistrates Court and appeals from other bodies such as the State Administrative Tribunal. The General Division sits in the David Malcolm Justice Centre for civil proceedings and the District Court of WA Building and the original Supreme Court Building for criminal proceedings.
The Court of Appeal hears both civil and criminal appeals from cases in the General Division, the District Court and the State Administrative Tribunal. It sits in the original Supreme Court Building.
When required, Supreme Court judges may also constitute the Industrial Appeal Court and sit as a Court of Disputed Returns.
The Supreme Court holds the exclusive jurisdiction to admit solicitors and barristers to practice in the Western Australian jurisdiction, upon meeting the educational and practice requirements set by the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia.
The current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is the Honourable Chief Justice Peter Quinlan SC who was appointed to the position in August 2018.
History
The Supreme Court was established on 18 June 1861 when the Court of Quarter Sessions (a criminal court for serious matters) and the Civil Court were amalgamated. Sir Archibald Burt was the first Chief Justice of the court.
The Full Court of the Supreme Court was established in 1886 to decide both criminal and civil appeals. In 1893 the criminal appeals were transferred to the Court of Appeal which was then reconstituted as the Court of Criminal Appeal in 1911.
The Supreme Court, Full Court and Court of Criminal Appeal were effectively the one court with each judge able to sit on cases in any of the courts.
Plans to relocate the Court building were announced to the public in March 1901, after a parliamentary committee examined various options and decided on the current location on St George’s Terrace. A government decree that only local materials be used in the construction caused difficulties and delays, culminating in a Royal Commission in 1902. Finally, the new building was officially opened on 8 June 1903, by newly-arrived Governor, Sir Frederick Bedford.
In 2004 the Full Court and the Court of Criminal Appeal were subsumed by the Court of Appeal, which, while still a division of the Supreme Court, has judges which sit solely on appeal cases.
My head is currently spinning and my heart is soaring (and my body is catching up on sleep when my brain allows it). Life has been full of adventures lately, with more to come. Travelling down and up the west coast, meeting so many kind and beautiful people whom I believe will be lifelong friends, witnessing the beauty that is in creation and the mountains, valleys, fields, forests, ocean, sun, fog, and starry night skies... Life is a blessing, friends. All I want to do is just hold tight to this positive mindset, chase the opportunities being presented, love absolutely everyone I meet, view life and its ups and downs as an adventure, attempt to ignore (or face) my fears, and trust in something bigger through it all.

Winter in the Rockies..
Behind a blood-stained curtain,
Love has spread its gardens.
Remove the thorn of existence
from the foot of the heart;
so that you may see the gardens within.

For ages and ages, our existence is connected with use of fire.
No wonder fire put a spell on us: it attracts us; it frightens us; it helps us; it can destroy us.
I believe that in any religion fire plays some role.
When I was a little child, the threat: 'if you would play with fire before you go to sleep, you would bed wet' was still well known. I think that since then, it disappeared. I even remember that Freud said something about the threat; unfortunately, I don't remember what his interpretation was.
Today everything exists to end in a photograph.

"the concept of continuous existence." This is one of the definitions for Time. Time is an interesting concept and as I grow older it becomes more and more an enigma.
In regards to this photo. Does it read as my artistic interpretation of Time? or does it look like a photo for a timepiece in a catalog? Oh well. (:-)
Thank you very much for the visit, faves and comments. Cheers.

This is the second floor of the BEAUTIFUL Multnomah County Library. In Portland Oregon.
It dates its existence from 1864, a time when Portland was a frontier town with frame buildings, muddy streets and few sidewalks. A small group of Portland citizens met to establish a subscription library and reading room, organizing under the name "Library Association of Portland."
And this is what was finally established, an incredibly fantastic piece of architecture. I almost break into song everytime I walk in but they SHUSH me.
SHHHH! SHHHHHHHHHH! I get sick of it.

For most of its existence WC was a riot of previous owners color schemes. About the time they managed to get most of the ex BN SD45's that came at start up into full WC colors an explosion in business along with the FRVR/GBW purchase led to more used units hitting the property. There were so many ex ATSF SD/F45's about you would have thought that this was an arm of ATSF. Number 2 arrives at Shops on September 17, 1994 with 6554, 5972 and 3003.
“Dear, you have killed my sincerity too. I will never know again who I am, what I am, what I love, what I want. Your beauty has drowned me, the core of me. You carry away with you a part of me reflected in you. When your beauty struck me, it dissolved me. Deep down, I am not different from you. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. You are the woman I want to be. I see in you that part of me which is you. I feel compassion for your childish pride, for your trembling unsureness, your dramatization of events, your enhancing of the loves given to you. I surrender my sincerity because if I love you it means we share the same fantasies, the same madnesses.”
