Thank you so much buddy, it's always a pleasure to take photos with you! Watch out for Edu's amazing version!
"A person who thinks all the time
Has nothing to think about except thoughts
So, he loses touch with reality
And lives in a world of illusions
By thoughts, I mean specifically, chatter in the skull
Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words
Of reckoning and calculating
I'm not saying that thinking is bad
Like everything else, It's useful in moderation
A good servant, but a bad master
And all so-called civilized peoples
Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive
Because, through excessive thinking
They have lost touch with reality
That's to say
We confuse signs
With the real world
This is the beginning of meditation
Most of us would have
Rather money than tangible wealth
And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed
And to read about it the next day in the newspaper
Is oddly more fun for us than the original event
This is a disaster
For as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs
We are destroying nature
We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses
Time to wake up
What is reality?
Obviously no one can say
Because it isn't words
It isn't material, that's just an idea
Reality is
The point cannot be explained in words
I'm not trying to put you down
It's an expression of you as you are
One must live
We need to survive, to go on
We must go on!"
Those who have chosen the path of least resistance in life, who cannot bear to bring themselves to make a stern value-judgment in criticism of their own most intimate feelings, achieve what they deserve: not self-understanding but radical self-superficialization, not a discovered but a self-ascribed identity that explains nothing, reveals nothing, means nothing, and ultimately accomplishes nothing culturally or intellectually.
-- Kenny Smith
The terraces were dug following the natural curves of the landscape. The thickness of the walls stores heat during the day and diffuses it at night. Thanks to this method it has been possible to obtain a different microclimate as one goes down and gets closer to the centre. An average temperature difference of 5°C was observed, whereas the difference is only 0.5°C over comparable height differences at the same location. Due to its sheltered position, each of the terraces represents approximately one thousand metres of altitude under normal growing conditions.
This isn't a planned photo. In fact I surprised Fynn when he played with the tinsel which was waiting on the living room table for my sister to come by and choose one for her tree. I could only quickly grab the camera and take this photo before Fynn remembered (a) that playing with the tinsel isn't allowed and (b) that he doesn't like the camera right now.
Folks let me explain that if I forget to comment, fave which I do not do without a comment, or invite it is because sometimes my pain is unbearable that I cannot sit here at the computer for any length of time, so please forgive me and try to understand, much appreciated.
All I did was ask this guy for a piece and he took off like a shot. Just trying to not post so so many Hawks, but that is all we've been seeing on every trip out.
Thanks for visiting and thanks for understanding.
I always have to explain this. This isn’t a baited image. I’m in a blind and behind me are approximately 200 doves eating away at feeders. The snowy love to predate on the doves. So this one obviously silent and me nearly asleep snuck up on me and this is all I got.
And who better can explain this than David Attenborough, we need to pay attention to what he says and learn how we can make a difference!

DEAR SANTA, BEFORE I EXPLAIN, HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ALREADY?

I cannot. A double-exposure, the first thing one would jump to, is out. How could the second exposure on the same frame just selectively put in the three rectangular images without all the surrounding details? Very weird. I cannot possibly explain it but maybe one of you can. This was not taken through a window. I was standing out on our balcony in the open air.

I should perhaps explain "Peedie" Peedie is a traditional Orkney word meaning small and in this particular setting it obviously means "Small Sea" so it would be fair to ask how this come to be?
The reason is the sea in Kirkwall originally went all the way up to the steps of St.Magnus Cathedral and over the centuries the sea was reclaimed by the people of Kirkwall leaving only a very small Sea which would have been created by the Geological feature of an 'AYRE' which is a bar of shingle or stones forming on a narrow spit of land from the shore.
Recent Archaeological excavations very nearby to the Cathedral unearthed old piers possibly used in the building of the Cathedral.
Kirkwall's name comes from the Norse 'Kirkjuvagr', meaning 'Church on the bay'
Sweet dreams!
* As if I need to explain myself, but it appears that on Flickr many people do not understand that the choices photographers make also can include soft focus. A sharp photograph here would have destroyed the kind of light I wanted coming from this window (enlarge the photograph to see its luminance). There is also the serious issue of peering into someone's room without their permission. So the choice was obvious. I will continue to make the photographs I wish to make - this is part of a series of 65 photos on suburban dreams - and if you do not like them then may I kindly ask you to refrain from visiting my page! Thank you to those of you who understand that there is more to photography than reproducing what can already be seen with the naked eye.
As I explained in the description to my "Suburban Dreams" slideshow, each of these photographs are related to the other. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/52638166831/in/datepost...
They are not random shots, but each tells us one more thing about the nature of a typical modern working class suburb. I always work in series, but this collection was most definitely planned. The twilight setting and light is all part of the creation of a mood. Is it possible to find things of beauty in the midst of the mundane and ordinary? That's more about philosophy than photography. And why I am such an odd fit for Flickr.
I should probably explain why I haven’t been around for a while.
A few months ago I put down my camera and put on my running shoes to begin training for a 48 hour fixed time race to bring in the new year. It didn’t end well.
Going forward, I want to put down my Nikes and pick up my Nikon. As soon as my broken finger heals, I want to go out and take some pictures.
In the meantime, here is a repost from a few years ago, when the Trump administration proposed the removal of this place from the protection of the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument. Nowadays, things are looking better for the future of my hoodoo friends.
The photo has been lightly edited, and the text, below, somewhat more.

Memento Mori (The Queen)
Daughter of ancient sea and flowing lava
conceived and buried
after a million centuries rising
her crown choosing her
as the land falls away
She has lived through it all
seen fantastic things come
and go in a stream
of deep time ending
with the arrival of man her assassin
She has not much longer to exist …
what wind earth and water would do
slowly
man will accomplish in an instant
And so I come to her court
cloud moon and stars
this beautiful woman who has
endured,
like me soon to be no more
to sleep at her feet
and dream
Nick Cave is a phenomenal artist for several reasons. One thing that I loved about this exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago is that there were audio pieces explaining some of the works. The main work the couple are viewing is called Speak Louder but the work above it is one of a few in his Tondo series. When Nick Cave started making Soundsuits, it was right after he heard about the police brutality and the Rodney King beatings. I posted a shot of his Soundsuits here:
www.flickr.com/photos/kirstiecat/52075785831/in/dateposted/
When he speaks about Tondo, he speaks about the effects of inner city violence on children. This is something that is a dear issue to me as I work with kids with disabilities in the public schools in Chicago. At one school I work at, kids come all over the city and 97% must be drawn from the highest poverty areas of the city according to the last census. So, when a parent is concerned because of a child's lack of attention or behavior and a nurse asks, "How much sleep does your child get each night?" and the parent replies "None because there are constantly gunshots and police sirens going off," you know something needs to change in this world.
As many of you know, I believe in proactive means to building better communities. As we continue to put more budgets into funding police, we actually have more crime because less is going into quality education, libraries, mental health facilities, preventing food deserts, equitable employment and low income housing. As our policing has increased, it means that there is also less of a viable public transportation system as well, at the same time that many families earning lower incomes cannot afford these astronomical gas prices and we all need to take an active role when it comes to climate change.
In my 21 years of working with children at Chicago Public Schools, I've worked at a few different schools. In 2003, I had the great honor of working with kids in the Cabrini Green neighborhood before re gentrification and racism (profit over people time and time again) unfortunately forced many people out. I've worked on the West side and lately on the North side. I love children all over the city. When I bike to the far South side to see art, some ask me if it's safe. Wherever children go, we should be willing to go. And, if we are not wiling to go there, we need to think about making it safer there. Chicago is a microcasm of the whole world in that respect. We have the ability to make a world where everyone has a basic level of human rights and a higher quality of life. We don't need little boys getting to go to space again. We don't need billionaires who have 10 homes. We need sustainability.
In all my years at Chicago Public Schools and in the hundreds upon thousands of children I've met (and hopeful helped), not one of them has ever told me he/she/they want to rob or kill people for a living. However, there was an eight year old girl who told a Speech Therapist I worked with that she wanted to be a cop "because they get away with murder." We need to be better.
I am an active voter and donate money to charity and some politicians. I wish I had more power. I wish I could also create something as beautiful as Nick Cave does when he falls into despair. Some people ask me what protesting does. Others ask me what making art does. Still, others ask me what voting does. I'll tell you I don't have all the answers (or any some days) but I can tell you this much, if we were ALL trying to make the world a better place. If we were all making decisions based on trying to be more kind, just, and human, this world would in fact change.
So, if you're kind, Speak Louder. If you're a fan of human rights, Speak Louder. If you want children of all races, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds to grow up in a better world, Speak Louder. If you want Environmental Justice, speak louder. If you want immigration rights and body autonomy, speak louder. If you want those in the LGBTQ+ community to have the same quality of life as those who are cis gendered and/or heterosexual, speak louder. If you want an end to the For Profit Prison Industrial Complex, speak louder.
Speak Louder.

Here I explain how to get that effect:

Night vision infra red. I'll explain something about the process in the other two shots posted today.
The Star Theatre in Invermay was built in 1937 in the Art Deco Moderne style. This is one of the original ceiling lights in the restored building.
Normally, Jongmyo Shrine is only open for guided tours on most days. However, I was able to get in without a guided tour because it was on a Saturday which was the only day not needing a guided tour. Still, I got a glimpse on how much importance South Koreans put on cultural education to their kids.
Right over here in this photo was a guide in hanbok explaining to the kids what was Jongmyo Shrine used in the past. A really interesting thing to note is that despite fast changes and foreign influence over the decades, Korea has still managed to keep many of its traditions.
Sky and his new friend sat on the sofa and were chatting when Posh Bear sat down beside them.
“Hi Posh; this is my new friend called Barnaby.”
“Hello Sky and hello Barnaby; it is nice to meet you.” Said Posh.
“I was explaining to Barnaby that the man likes to use that three-legged thingy to take pictures of us bears. He hasn’t done it recently so this could take ages as he has probably forgotten how to do it.”
“Very true Sky. Where is Bertie?”
“He is making space for the honey delivery, so he hid when the man was looking for us bears. I had to order extra as we have another bear to feed.”
“Good thinking, Sky. How are you enjoying living here, Barnaby?”
“It is nice; I like having lots of friends around me and Sky has been introducing me to lots of other bears and other animals. Sky told me that you were very clever and you can count to more then five. I was so impressed.”
“Thank you, Barnaby, I think I saw you arrive in a Christmas parcel and the man seemed quite pleased when he saw you.”
“I like to think so. I’ve been in the living room with Paws the lioness, Scoobs the brown dog, Spot the black dog and a black panther called Cadbury. They have made me feel very welcome. Sadly, they don’t eat honey but they kindly introduced me to my new friend Sky and he gave me a whole jar yesterday and another whole jar today. Wasn’t that kind of him?”
“Indeed, it was, well done Sky. I didn’t know you had spare honey.” Said Posh Bear suspecting Sky’s kindness of giving away his own honey.
“Thank you Posh, one has to do what one can for a new friend. I know that if you had met Barnaby before me Posh, you would have given him some of your honey.”
“Of course, I couldn’t see any bear go hungry when I had plenty.”
“Good, that is what I thought you would say. So, after the man has finished here, my new friend and I are getting a touch peckish and were just wondering if you might have the odd jar or several, you could let us have until ours arrives?”
“Have you none left then Sky?”
“Nope, all gone. We had the last for breakfast.”
“Okay, you can have a jar each. Take one for Bertie as well as I doubt he’ll have any left.”
“You’re right as usual Posh, Bertie hasn’t got anything left at all. I’ll tell him that you gave him a jar as soon as I see him.”
“Sky, I’m slightly confused for I’m sure you said that the honey we had you were borrowing from someone and I thought you said it was Bertie.” Said Barnaby rubbing his head with his paw.
“No, Barnaby, that was my honey.”
“I know it belonged to you, but only because you said you had borrowed it in the first place and he wouldn’t mind. Come to think of it, Sky, didn’t you borrow some honey for Posh as well? I’m sure you did.”
Sky looked at Posh who stared right back at him and then he smiled.
“Best you get going, Sky, don’t forget to replace what you borrowed to Bertie as I have plenty.”
“Thank you Posh… and thanks a lot Barnaby.” Said Sky as the two walked away as the man finished taking the photograph.
The group from UK Cocoloco came to my town to do a live performance called Pilgrimage.

my dear friends ..
i am in the way to study a long silence.
how may i explain this ...
this sudden crushing loneliness that permeates my soul ..
that persist into the deepest reaches of my being ...
confusing in its very existence ...
there could be no reason this feeling...
this emotion, not possible.
and yet..
i am.
i am.
i don't know why i am.
i can't understand ...
till the time i return to myself ..
then once again we shall meet.
but before that time.
i bid you, adieu.

p.s. or i could be sleep deprived and i'm raving like a lunatic cos its exam month. we'll see.
The flashlight, we explained to the campers
Is so captivating because it brings light
To dark places
Combining the positive
And negative within, you can
Bring enlightenment to the world
One circle of clarity
At a time, illuminate your
Path, or that of another
Step by
Step
It was great watching the behaviour of these Dhole from kill through to play.
The Dhole (Indian wild dog) numbers have reduced drastically in the last decade to under 2,000 adults. When talking to the naturalists they explained seeing large clans is a sight rarely seen today. In tropical forests they not only have the decline in habitat loss to deal with they also compete for food with Tigers and Leopards so in the parks where Tiger numbers gain the likely hood is that the number of Leopards and Dhole decreases.
