There is a moment when light forgets its purpose,
spilling without direction into the waiting dark.
I stand in the middle of it, unsure which side to claim,
carrying expectations I never questioned.
They begin to thin, to lose their shape,
until they vanish, rising like smoke into nothing.

"A succession of instants does not constitute time any more than it causes it to disappear. it indicates only its
constantly aborted moment of birth. Time is constituted only in the
originary synthesis which operates on the repetition of instants. This
synthesis contracts the successive independent instants into one another,
thereby constituting the lived, or living, present. It is in this present that time is deployed. To it belong both the past and the future: the past in so
far as the preceding instants are retained in the contraction; the future
because its expectation is anticipated in this same contraction. "
- Gilles Deleuze, Difference and Repetition
Cathja
The Cathja is a fully converted and fully mobile 38 metre Dutch Barge. Situated on an idyllic Thames mooring in Old Isleworth, the barge provides space for people who have experienced mental health problems to explore their creativity in a safe and supported environment.
Users determine their own frequency and duration of their involvement. There is no expectation to 'produce' so objects created are not judged, analysed or sold. The creation of objects, whether utilitarian or 'artistic', is an inherently healing and restorative process.
The Cathja service has achieved outstanding results in enabling people to grow away from the dependent, patient role.
The Cathja barge history:
The Cathja is a 38 metre Dutch Barge. She was probably built in the 1930s and her working life would have been on the canals and rivers of Europe. She is not a sea going vessel although many of the inland seas in Holland are such that she had to be able to negotiate rougher conditions than the barges that traded on English canals.
Cathja would have been operated as a family business with a husband and wife team, possibly with their children, leading a somewhat itinerant life. It is likely that the name Cathja is derived from a combination of the names of the skipper and his wife. Living accommodation was minimal and restricted to the back cabin so that the maximum area was given over to the hold for carrying cargo. The sorts of cargo carried would have included grain, fertiliser, coffee beans etc.
The back cabin remains with many original features and currently provides the office space for the charity. The wheel house is a more recent addition and is the 'tea room' for the activity. As the barge is fully mobile, the tea room also accommodates the ship's wheel and all the instrumentation. The wheelhouse is collapsible in order to negotiate the low bridges that are often found on the smaller waterways.
After being 'decommissioned' the Cathja had several short term owners, including a British gentleman who intended to convert her for use as a floating restaurant. This last project foundered as Cathja was damaged by rough seas in the Channel and was rescued and brought to a mooring on the Thames where she lay largely uncared for. She was purchased in an almost derelict state by the charity in 1996.
A mooring was found for her in Isleworth, being the historic wharf where coastal trade took place. The original crane used for unloading still stands as a monument to this phase of the area's history
* All Saints' Church is the oldest parish church in Isleworth in the London Borough of Hounslow in south-west London.
Its 14th-century Kentish ragstone tower and foundations are the only pre–20th-century parts to survive.[1] It faces the Thames before Church Street skirts away from the river to pass Syon Park. The parish itself is pre-Norman. A vicar replacing its rector is recorded in 1290 in records associated with Syon Abbey who gave his family £2 and a new robe each year and daily meat and drink at the upper table in the abbey hall, while his servant was to be fed at the grooms' table. The patron of the church became the trustees of St George's Chapel, Windsor, due to the dissolution of the monasteries.[2] By the end of the 17th century, Sir Christopher Wren was approached to draw plans for a new body of a much-dilapidated building. His project was deemed too expensive until 1705, when Sir Orlando Gee (MP), of Syon Hill in the parish, left £500 towards the work in his will; he is commemorated in a marble monument by Francis Bird.[3] This sum, combined with funds raised through subscriptions, ensured that the work took place (with modifications) in 1705–1706.

You can see the expectation in their eyes, a slight smile on their face and the anticipation and hope for the food.
Drinking Rail
This Clapper Rail exceeded my expectation when he not only stepped out from the marsh and offered us a great view, but then it became apparent why he did so..... refreshment . The light, colors, subject and action all came together for this elusive bird, one of my favorite birding moments of the summer.

Comet C / 2020 F3 (NEOWISE) crosses the sky of Salvador during one of the few nights of "clear" sky in July / 20.
The expectation to photograph the Neowise only increased while I saw the images captured in the Northern Hemisphere during the beginning of July / 20. This expectation ended up becoming a great frustration for the fact that Neowise had already reached the skies of Brazil very barely visible, very different from what had been seen before. Furthermore, without being able to travel because of COVID-19, trying to photograph the comet in the region near Salvador has become an almost impossible task, after all, practically every day it has been raining in Salvador and the sky is always cloudy.
As a nature photographer he never gives up, one day I was at home in Salvador and I realized that the sky had cleared a little, already close to the sunset time. With the help of my photographic planning apps, I realized that it would be possible to frame Comet Neowise from my daughter's bedroom window, around 6:50 pm. Without thinking twice, I set up the tripod and camera inside the little girl's room and left the equipment aligned with the direction where the comet would cross Salvador's sky. Setting up a composition was complicated, after all, we have protection screens on every window in the house. While my wife was cradling the little one in the other room, I tried to locate Comet Neowise.
Finally, when the estimated time arrived, the comet appeared in the frame that I chose to photograph it. As expected, it was not very visible, after all, I was making the capture from the window of my house, in the middle of Salvador. Despite this, it was very nice to make some captures of Neowise and record this moment that will not be repeated soon.
The techniques used to capture this image were "Long Exposure" and "Focal Length Blending".

Erwartungen
können dich glauben machen ,
dass das, was du begehrst ,
das ist, was du brauchst .
Und ich denke:
Was wäre, wenn wir einfach aufhören würden
, im Augenblick zu leben?
Und ich denke:
Und vielleicht werden wir dann beide
viel weniger enttäuscht sein.

Smile On Saturday with an emotion portrayed:
Expectation is the state or condition of spirit which, in the process of human emotions, is preceded by hope and followed by despair.
Because obviously I didn't kiss her ;-)
L'Aspettativa è lo stato o condizione di spirito che, nel processo delle emozioni umane, è preceduto dalla speranza e seguito dalla disperazione.
Poiché ovviamente poi non l'ho baciata ;-)

From the secondary peak Slatina (914m a.s.l.) you can enjoy a view on various levels, starting from the foreground slightly snowy Mount Vremščica karst moor plateau, which gives light to the landscape, to the background where the sky and sea merge.
A Stratocumulus genus cloud gathers shortly before the sun sets and this creates expectation for the colors that will soon be seen when the sun, just behind the horizon, will illuminate this cloud from below for a few minutes.
Stratocumulus clouds generally form when milder air overflows colder air that has accumulated in the previous days and can cover the sky in predominantly anticyclonic conditions.
If the incoming milder air is also humid, of Atlantic origin, always in predominantly anticyclonic conditions, i.e. without frontal systems, the stratocumulus layer can thicken and give rise to the only precipitation that distinguishes them: the drizzle, or sleet with temperatures close to or below freezing.
Shutter and Sprocket are no strangers to cozying up to each other (for lifelong littermates, that's a reasonable expectation), but it usually happens in a confined area. Lately, they have been doing it in a more open space with Shutter, normally a skittish cat, becoming a little more relaxed than usual.

Questa foto l'ho scattata il 17 settembre 2009, evidentemente usavo due fotocamere, perchè con l'altra foto ho scattato con la Pentax, questa invece con la Canon, non mi ricordo il perchè cambiavo fotocamere.
In questo giorno il mare era abbastanza agitato, ma pigramente agitato, le onde venivano avanti lentamente, come le piccole mareggiate si infrangevano lentamente sugli scogli.
L'atmosfera era rilassante, ma continuavo a percepire questa aspettativa, anzi notavo che le persone guardavano verso il mare con curiosità, ma poi non ci ho pensato più di tanto.
**************************
Il rumore delle onde
sulla riva del mare
è un canto di pace per l'anima..
Quando vuoi riconciliare te stesso col mondo
o restare da solo a pensare.
Il luogo perfetto
è la riva del mare
dove le onde cullano i pensieri,
li sciolgono nei ricordi
e sommergono i timori per il futuro
Queste onde lente mi parlavano di qualcosa
di aspettare, di tornare al mare
di non tardare
nel cuore c'era sempre
un'aspettativa presente

I took this photo on September 17, 2009, obviously I used two cameras, because with the other photo I shot with Pentax, this instead with Canon, I do not remember why I changed cameras.
On this day the sea was quite rough, but lazily shaken, the waves were moving slowly, as the small storms slowly broke down on the rocks.
The atmosphere was relaxed, but I still felt this expectation, but I noticed that people looked curiosity toward the sea, but then I did not think so much.

The noise of the waves
on the seashore
is a song of peace for the soul ..
When you want to reconcile yourself with the world
or stay alone to think.
The perfect place
is the shore of the sea
where the waves roar the thoughts,
they melt them in memories
and overwhelm fears for the future
These slow waves were talking to me about something
to wait, to return to the sea
not to be late
in the heart there was always
a present expectation.
