“It isn't by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.”
― Ken Kesey
In Theravada Buddhism three marks of existence are Anicca, Dukkha and Anatta (impermanence, dissatisfaction and absence of self (essence).
Recognising them in everyday life, in viewing, may carry a liberating beauty.
I surely see them in this image.
Teatro Antico di Segesta (Calatafimi Segesta, Sicilia)
Il Teatro Antico è un teatro greco dell'antica città di Segesta e ubicato nell'area archeologica di Calatafimi Segesta, comune italiano della provincia di Trapani, in Sicilia.
Ubicato sulla cima del monte Barbaro, l'imponente Teatro Antico venne costruito nel II sec. a.C. quando Segesta era già libera città sotto i Romani, ed è considerato uno dei teatri più belli del periodo classico tanto per lo stato di conservazione quanto per la sua posizione spettacolare sulle colline trapanesi.
Il teatro è una costruzione in pietra calcarea locale il cui accesso avveniva attraverso una strada lastricata. Esso poteva ospitare nella cavea 4000 persone ed era suddiviso orizzontalmente da un largo corridoio detto diazoma delimitato a sua volta da sedili dotati di schienale e, verticalmente, da sei scalette che formano sette cunei (kèrkides) di dimensioni variabili.
Recenti rinvenimenti hanno documentato l'esistenza di varie altre costruzioni, compreso un serbatoio d'acqua che certamente doveva servire per le necessità del pubblico e degli attori. All'orchestra si accedeva dagli ingressi laterali, detti pàrodoi. Pochi filari di blocchi permettono di ricostruire la pianta della scena (skené), un edificio a due piani in stile dorico e ionico con due corpi laterali avanzati (paraskènia) ornati da altorilievi fatti da immagini di satiri.
Nella prima età Imperiale romana il teatro subì delle trasformazioni: lo spazio dell'orchestra fu ampliato eliminando una fila di sedili e ingrandendo la fronte scenica. In età medievale (secoli XII e XIII) le superfici del teatro e della strada furono occupate da un vasto settore dell'abitato, come documenta la grande casa a due piani visibile nella media cavea occidentale.
Ancient Theatre of Segesta (Calatafimi Segesta, Sicily)
The Ancient Theatre is a Greek theatre of the ancient city of Segesta and located in the archaeological area of Calatafimi Segesta, an Italian municipality in the province of Trapani, in Sicily.
Located on the top of Mount Barbaro, the imposing Ancient Theatre was built in the 2nd century BC when Segesta was already a free city under the Romans, and is considered one of the most beautiful theatres of the classical period both for its state of conservation and for its spectacular position on the hills of Trapani.
The theatre is a construction in local limestone which was accessed via a paved road. It could accommodate 4000 people in the cavea and was divided horizontally by a large corridor called diazoma delimited in turn by seats with backrests and, vertically, by six steps that form seven wedges (kèrkides) of variable dimensions.
Recent discoveries have documented the existence of various other buildings, including a water tank that certainly served the needs of the audience and the actors. The orchestra was accessed from the side entrances, called pàrodoi. A few rows of blocks allow us to reconstruct the plan of the stage (skené), a two-story building in Doric and Ionic style with two advanced lateral bodies (paraskènia) decorated with high reliefs made of images of satyrs. In the early Roman Imperial age, the theater underwent transformations: the space of the orchestra was expanded by eliminating a row of seats and enlarging the stage front. In the Middle Ages (12th and 13th centuries) the surfaces of the theater and the street were occupied by a large sector of the inhabited area, as documented by the large two-story house visible in the western media cavea.

As the ships arrive, the little man's heartbeat races and he holds tight to his single piece of luggage. He packed all the essentials: toothbrush, sailboat blanket, change of clothes, wooden sword, a chocolate bar, and his beloved teddy bear. He can't believe that he finally made it, and, as he looks around, he can see the look of anticipation, the light of hope and dreams shining bright, in his fellow explorer's faces. He pushes his way towards the side of the boat, closest to the dock.
The plank walkway drops, and Skippy runs, the first one out...
The little man looks over his shoulder and smiles so happy
and waves for you to join him...
I am fond of the idea that you can be casually strolling along a sandy beach and unknowingly be a part of an artistic moment of creativity/beauty/whathaveyou. In short, every moment we exist is a moment we are participating in something outside of ourselves, or larger than ourselves, whether we are aware of it or not.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) currently recognises only one species of giraffe with nine subspecies. During the 1900s, various taxonomies with two or three species were proposed. A 2007 study on the genetics of giraffes using mitochondrial DNA suggested at least six lineages could be recognised as species. A 2011 study using detailed analyses of the morphology of giraffes, and application of the phylogenetic species concept, described eight species of living giraffes. A 2016 study also concluded that living giraffes consist of multiple species. The researchers suggested the existence of four species, which have not exchanged genetic information between each other for 1 to 2 million years.
A 2020 study showed that depending on the method chosen, different taxonomic hypotheses recognizing from two to six species can be considered for the genus Giraffa. That study also found that multi-species coalescent methods can lead to taxonomic over-splitting, as those methods delimit geographic structures rather than species. The three-species hypothesis, which recognises G. camelopardalis, G. giraffa, and G. tippelskirchi, is highly supported by phylogenetic analyses and also corroborated by most population genetic and multi-species coalescent analyses. A 2021 whole genome sequencing study suggests the existence of four distinct species and seven subspecies.
The cladogram below shows the phylogenetic relationship between the four proposed species and seven subspecies based on the genome analysis. Note the eight lineages correspond to eight of the traditional subspecies in the one species hypothesis. The Rothschild giraffe is subsumed into G. camelopardalis camelopardalis.
my first step of this year is that go straight my goal, consequentially keep the reflection of life stably.
maybe it's too abstract to understand, but there are several things request - I'm 100% sure what I'm doing, what I'm talking, and make mistakes less and less.
wish you a gorgeous year and have full of inspirations of photography.
happy new year. *grin*

"- What is reality?
- It's like imagination, but not as good." V.D.T in "Dream by Dream".
Yo ! Comme vous pouvez le constater, je pars un peu plus sur de l'artistique. Je me lâche complet et je laisse ma créativité s'exprimer avec le moins de limites possibles.
J'ai des petits projets d'écritures aussi que je vais essayer d'incorporer ici. Je sais que je pourrais "officialiser" le tout comme je le faisais avant, essayer de scorer dessus etc mais en fait j'ai pas envie. Je préfère tout donner gratuitement et j'aime l'idée que ce soit caché et que seuls les petits curieux peuvent tomber dessus. C'est tellement plus amusant !
Je ne sais plus si j'en avais parlé mais ça me rappelle un très vieux téléfilm sans grand intérêt quand j'étais gamin que ma mère regardait et dans un des passages, une jeune fille découvrait une vieille clé qui donnait sur un jardin....secret. Voilà ce que je voudrais être pour vous, un jardin secret. Un petit espace hors du temps où les rêves ont leur place et où la peur ne sert qu'à créer des histoires passionnantes le soir au coin du feu.
J'ai toujours eu un don, c'est ma créativité, elle est infinie. Pour équilibrer tout ça je crois que l'existence m'a fait le plus flemmard qui soit. J'ai des tonnes d'idées absolument géniales que ce soit pour des jeux-vidéos, des livres, etc etc. Avec des "mécaniques" qu'on a pas assez vu voire pas du tout. Mais voilà, monsieur est un immense flemmard et je me lasse de tout tellement vite... En fait j'ai du mal à accepter que ce que j'invente dans mes moments de "folies" en quelques minutes nécessiterait parfois des années à être mis en place. J'ai une profonde admiration pour ceux qui arrivent à s'infliger ça, moi je peux pas. Je suis une étoile filante ou un feu d'artifice, je ne sais pas m'arrêter, je suis le mouvement et la liberté. Autant vouloir retenir l'eau dans un filet.
Je suis un dévoreur de "logiques". Ado, j'aimais me répéter : "tout ce qui existe est prisonnier de sa propre logique". Une fois que j'ai compris un concept, vous ne pouvez imaginer la lassitude que je ressens immédiatement comme si chaque seconde écoulée devenait une perte de temps digne des pires tortures. Je dois apprendre/comprendre/assimiler sans cesse de nouvelles choses. Une copine m'avait dit "Tu as besoin d'être stimulé constamment et je ne suis pas capable de t'offrir ça". Alors, paradoxalement, je sombre dans une forme de léthargie, comme si j'étais en hibernation. Insensible au sempiternelle quotidien si bruyant à vous en rendre sourd.
Bref, je suis un jardin secret et pourtant le jour où vous me rencontrerez, vous ne tomberez que sur une grille fermée.
Qui est la clé ?
Où est-elle ?
Dans quelle serrure s'est-elle rouillée ?
Et si nous étions la serrure.... et la clé ?
Et dans le trou de la serrure, qui nous espionne ?
All existence is devoid of essence or self. For those mannequins this becomes so evident.

Oud-Beijerland, South Holland, the Netherlands.
Interestingly Beijerland, as it was initially called (named after Sabina of Bavaria, which is Beijeren in Dutch), was formed in 1559 and only became Oud-Beijerland in 1582 when Nieuw-Beijerland came into existence. It's a pretty town and municipality on the Hoeksche Waard island south of Rotterdam.
