From heart of space
all gift all give
no star too big
to hold it all
Where up a flower
how down a cloud
can any heart
with love unbloom
One breath of spring
one second on
the spatial clock
but oh the breath
When bliss is work
and silence bliss
up down our cord
no song unsings
All alls need more
all mores need all
yet love is nearer
than purest most

If you have time to look On Black ..... ?
Wish you a happy weekend ! :))

You don't get this chance every day, but when the opportunity arises and the weather cooperates, there is little time to spare. There is practically only one shot. At this time of year, the sun sets right between the two towers on Potsdamer Platz. I like the reflections that the building I'm standing on creates in the setting sun. Of course, I only wanted one LE, which logically makes it even more complicated. A few days and attempts later, I had the traffic light circuit memorized as the sun moved into position that day.
Musically, I split this photo up. There are just too many different moods and impressions that characterize it right now, so I better put appropriate markings in the picture to link them with the songs. Unfortunately, the markers are not so easy to retrieve on a cell phone. But I'm sure you can manage that somehow.

Street and reportage photography captured as a 'March Against Racism' walked up Queen Street in Glasgow in March 2018.
We are one single species, among many, trying to survive on a tiny oasis in the vastness of space.
End racism.
End hate.
End war.
This is a previously unpublished shot from March 2018 and is equally relevant today.

After the last three and a half years, I was getting tired of giving up exciting plans in evenings and on my weekends to attend protests against war and Trump. But, now I see things a lot differently because Trump is still atrocious and is still denying refugees and profiting off of prisoners and telling his own citizens to drink bleach but it feels more like it might have felt a very very long time ago when you don't know if you're the only one who is outraged sometimes.
Demonstrations are important and remote demonstrations (which I have heard of) are a lot easier to ignore for people on the street who might not realize the horrors of what their "leaders" are doing. It's also a privilege to be able to demonstrate. When I see this man caught between the protestors and looking like he's trying to process what is happening, I see someone who might very well agree with the protestors but still has to work in this moment. He might feel conflicted or just fazed as to what route to take now that Michigan Avenue is taken over.
If you think about all of the wars and protests over the year throughout history, it's a big angry crowd. Is Coronavirus at least putting some of this violence for profit on hold or are we just not hearing about it as much? Where some leaders might see a need for us all to work together to stop pandemics and limit the damage of Climate Change, others just see more opportunity to profit. I think we know which one Trump is.

Gardens of Justice
The Gardens of Justice is a series of sculptures and fountains that sit between historic Osgoode Hall, home of the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Law Society of Ontario, and the Superior Court of Justice. Each item is designed to represent one of the fundamental legal rights of all Canadians. This gallery of public art invites us to pause and reflect on our freedoms, whether we are on our way to court, visiting on a class trip, or just passing by.
When the sleep of reason generates Monsters!
Wake up Europe!

¡Despierta Europa!

UPDATE / 🆕 :
I was told this morning that the government WITHDREW the article 8 of the said law thanks to the protesting artists’ widespread outcry against it 😊
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can €40-million-worth propaganda alter human perception of common sense?
The Greek government recently promulgated an “Act” (not voted by parliament at first, but merely signed by Cabinet Members instead) to abolish the freedom of speech regarding any constructive criticism for using RNA as antigen in vaccines (instead of using proteins); whoever publicly speaks so faces imprisonment of two years.
Now, the same government is about to pass a law censoring Art, too: if an artwork is imbued by a creative idea not abiding by the establishment's official doctrine, then it will be considered as a criminal offense (and the artist will be prosecuted).
“Donkeys do fly,” according to a saying in modern Greek, whenever the tyrant commands so… One looks forward to also hearing the government ordering water to flow upwards!
The freedom of thinking is next in line to be attacked by the tyranny-ready technological surveillance infrastructure.
a company should respect its customers up to the point where said customers are deemed capable of choosing and judging with their own brains.
etisalat does not.
please sign the petition and feel free to add your feedback via comments, tags or by merely faving an image wherever this protest goes on around Flickr.
un piccolo update per gli utenti italiani: una traduzione del testo della petizione è online. diffondete il link alle persone interessate se possibile, e grazie.

one does not become a success by betraying
the ideals that brought you to the point of success
your future hangs in the balance on what you do now

I couldn't find two turtledoves, or get the partridge to sit in the pear tree, so these three ladies will have to do! They're not French, just Silver-Laced Wyandottes from my flock. Sadie, on the right, is the only one I have left, as Charlotte and Lucy have gone to the big free-range pasture in the sky. Two textures from Kim Klassen's The Benjamin Texture Collection.
A Very Merry Christmas to all my flickr friends! Thanks so much for your encouragement and kind words throughout the year!
