Nothing more fulfilling, relaxing, rejuvenating and humbling than being in the mountains !
This is at the Himalayan town of Manali.
We friends, went to this valley for some adventure sports, but sadly the rain gods had their own games to play !
But nonetheless, the rains always add to the beauty of any time and place and these were the mountains :)
Maybe I'm less cool now, I don't know
I just want to live before I die ♫
I've found what I want - Fulfilled ♡♡
Beginnings always hide themselves in ends

A dream fulfilled.
One of the shots I always wanted to do - and I tried a couple of times - but never found the right motorway, the right place to put the camera, the right amount of cars driving along, the right amount of light...
Maybe today was the day and this is the one! ;-)
I wasn't going to make any posts. I intended to do a basic effort. I'd want to wish everyone a happy 2023 and write a regular post. But I got a bit carried away. Despite the recent chaos and hardship of life, I still wanted to take a moment for you.
Additionally, I didn't want to be corny, but New Years is all about being cheesy, so I can't avoid it.
I would like to take a moment to thank you all for being by my side and making my day better. Recently, things have been a little gloomy but also necessary, and you're always there to brighten my day with a funny or humorous post, your blog posts, or whatever.
The cliché part is now.
I desire for you to be in excellent health in 2023 because you can't really do anything without it. I also hope that you will be able to fulfill all of your wishes and achieve all of your ambitions in every aspect of your life, including your career, personal relationships or work in yourself, and love life.
So, my dear friends, here's wishing you all a magnificent year and nothing but joy in these new chapters of your lives.
Thank you and I adore you all.
I sincerely appreciate you being there ❤
Wishes are fulfilled!
I moved here a few days ago. Now the distance to the office is much longer than it was earlier... But it doesn't matter.
Next week is hot, officially +32C and even +35C. I love hot weather, it's perfect for me. Finally I can swim a lot in the lake: in the morning before work, in the lunch time, in the evening and even in the night! I love swimming in the night, that's amazing! 😍 What could be better!
It's also hot weather today. Time to swim and relax on the beach 😊
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
Baby boy, you stay on my mind
Fulfill my fantasies
I think about you all the time
I see you in my dreams
Baby boy, not a day goes by
Without my fantasies
I think about you all the time
I see you in my dreams

We have fulfilled a long-cherished wish and made a trip to Namibia. A unforgettable experience on these Africa trips are game drives in the savannah. In the evening it is particularly exciting - you can get a rhino in front of the lens - and the incomparable African sunset with the typical acacia trees.
Wir haben uns einen lang gehegten Wunsch erfüllt und eine Reise nach Namibia unternommen. Ein Muss bei diesen Afrika-Reisen sind Pirschfahrten in der Savanne. Am Abend ist es besonders spannend - da bekommt man schon mal ein Nashorn vor die Linse - und dazu den unvergleichbaren afrikanischen Sonnenuntergang mit den typischen Akazienbäumen.

A kind neighbor called me over to his home last evening, alerting me to this lovely owl that was peeking out of one of his backyard evergreen trees.
The owl allowed me to spend 15 minutes with it while I fired off many good captures. It never moved and showed no signs of agitation, and I kept a quiet and respectful distance across the yard.
This seems to be an adult brown morph (Northern). There are also grey and red morphs in this species.
Screech owls are very small and their body size range from 6 to 10 inches in length. Proportionally, their heads are quite large and, since they have such short necks, that head size seems even larger :)
The light was poor and quickly fading. Fortunately I had the house to lean against for a bit of stability as I handheld my heavy gear. I captured this image at 1/5 sec. shutter speed, though it took many attempts to pull this off :)
This experience was a real thrill for me since I have never photographed a wild owl in the 12 years that I have been doing nature photography.
Thank you, kind neighbor, for your thoughtful invite into your backyard for this fulfilling experience!

It's exciting and fulfilling to walk on new lanes and virgin paths. Contemporary it can be very exhausting and even dangerous too. Thats why its not only making sense but sometimes its even necessary following trails others left behind for us. When we do this, we have to be cautious and keep two things in mind (at least two). For one thing, we need to be attentive, where these trails are guiding us too. We need to look up again and again asking ourselves if we wanted to get here and if its good for ourselves to be here. If its not like this, we need to realign, change the direction and leave the trail. For the second thing, we need to make sure that we don't follow our own footprints because in that case, we are going in circles and will never reach somewhere.
Es ist sehr aufregend und erfüllend neue Wege zu gehen und auf jungfräulichen Pfaden zu wandern. Gleichzeitig kann dies jedoch auch äußerst anstrengend und manchmal sogar gefährlich sein. Deshalb macht es nicht nur Sinn sondern ist manchmal sogar nötig auch Spuren zu folgen, die andere für uns hinterlassen haben. Wenn wir das tun, müssen wir jedoch achtsam sein und zwei Dinge beachten (mindestens zwei). Zum einen müssen wir aufmerksam sein, wo die Spuren uns hin leiten. Wir müssen immer wieder aufblicken und uns fragen, ob wir hier hin wollten und ob es uns hier gut geht. Ist dem nichts so, gilt es sich neu zu orientieren, die Richtung zu wechseln und die Spur zu verlassen. Zum anderen müssen wir uns vergewissern, dass es nicht unsere eigene Spur ist, der wir folgen, denn ist sie das, laufen wir im Kreis und kommen nie irgendwo an.

About Corfe Castle
Corfe Castle is a stunning 11th century castle in Dorset, that has fulfilled a number of roles throughout its thousand-year history – from royal residence to military stronghold. Today Corfe Castle provides an atmospheric look into Britain’s medieval past, with its picturesque views and imposing structure attracting visitors from far and wide.
Corfe Castle history
The current incarnation of Corfe Castle was built by William the Conqueror in around 1066, although even before this the site was of great historical importance. Legend tells that when a Saxon hall stood on the site, the young Edward the Martyr was murdered there in 978 during a plot to position his half-brother Ethelred ‘the Unready’ as monarch. Edward was later canonised, with his feast day falling on the anniversary of his death – 18 March.
Following its construction as a medieval fortress, Corfe Castle would be expanded and altered over the coming centuries, especially in the 12th century by Edward I who built the imposing keep, and in the 13th century under King John. Not only did John further fortify the castle, he also used it as a prison and royal residence. Sold by Elizabeth I in 1572, Corfe Castle became a grand private home, first to Sir Christopher Hatton and later by Sir John Bankes in 1635.
The demise of Corfe Castle and the cause of its current ruined state came with the English Civil War. Having survived one siege in 1643, it would fall to another only 3 years later, before being slighted – or intentionally damaged – by the Parliamentarians. Its ruins were eventually handed back to the Bankes family, who retained it for 350 years before in 1982 gifting it to the National Trust.
Corfe Castle today
Today, Corfe Castle remains under the remit of the National Trust and is open to the public. Its romantic ruins sit high atop a natural ‘motte’, with many of its original features still well preserved. The castle’s towering 12th century keep may be explored, while a number of its gatehouses remain in good condition and allow visitors to walk through centuries of history.
Corfe Castle’s role as a military stronghold is also echoed in many of its hidden features – murder holes, fallen walls, and arrow loops to name a few. Stunning views of the village below may too be enjoyed from the castle’s elevated position, as well as the picturesque Purbeck Hills that surround it.
"So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: 'I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.'" - Matthew 13:35.
How do words, images and even music come together? How do our senses join in creating an inner symphony that has meaning and instills a sense of the mystery of our world?
The words quoted above come from the mouth of Jesus. I'm not sure we can ever fully understand this mysterious person. The one thing I'm convinced of is that Jesus, also known as Christos ("The Christ" or "Anointed One") is a universal and archetypal figure. Contrary to most views he was not particularly concerned with religion, and most certainly never intended to start a new one. So please don't read this as another religious message or an attempt to convert you to my views.
In truth, those things hidden from the foundation of the world are revealed to us as we need them, as we open our hearts to the inner longing that is often best understood non-verbally when we listen to music like that of Ludovico Einaudi. My own view has always been that music is the pure pathway to the soul. The true mystery of life is never understood by the head (reason), but through the heart (love). And I believe that images work on us in the same way as music.
Somehow as I listen to the music of modern minimalistic composers, I can feel this pulse that takes me right back to the foundation of the world - the origin of light and word (logos). You can feel it in the work of composers as varied as John Taverner, Arvo Pärt, John Adams, Max Richter, Ludovico Einaudi. You can hear it in Phillip Glass too, although he is more incessant in expressing that pulse.
But in this case image and music come together in Ludovico Einaudi's "L'Origine Nascosta" ("The Hidden Origin"):

Jesus loved the beach. There's a gorgeous beach scene in what I consider to be the greatest film on the life of Jesus, Pier Paolo Pasolini's "The Gospel According to St Matthew" (1964). www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewzr-ioQ_9k Pasolini was not religious, but I think he understood Jesus comprehensively for that very reason - he didn't bring any baggage to the making of the film.
Pasolini shows Jesus meeting his first followers on the beach at the Sea of Galilee. And there an inner light shone to such an extent that a group of fishermen left their nets and followed Jesus to the end.

give you those things, and when you no longer have such expectations, all self-created
suffering comes to an end."

This comes from a trip to the fog that served to fulfill some long-term goals around the Golden Gate Bridge.
Although this one was a real waiting game (all night with half a package of Chips Ahoy), it was worth it and nobody tried to mug me this time!
I hope to capture more of these fleeting moments with the seafog interacting with the bridge on the Presidio side, but that means making more long-term goals, due to the scarcity of the right fog.
Oh, and even though it is April Fools Day, I promise no tricks.
Thanks for your time and support!
Fulfill this desire
To finally be the king
Of such vast lands
That you never imagined
To hold everything in your hands
But you already are

And driven by all the winds
Even if some may test your faith
Look only at the light
And raise your voice

I am grateful and very happy to announce that I have been selected to be part of THE DICKENS PROJECT OPEN ART SHOW, amongst many wonderful artists.
The opening will take part on Sunday, Dec. 22, 11am SLT.
Caledonia Skytower will be the DJ for the occasion.
Dress-code: (Victorian Attire Suggested)
Hope to see you there.
The picture was
taken at the Dickens project sim.
I would like to take the opportunity to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas. I am GRATEFUL to all of you for your constant uplifting support and huge encouragement that you have given me. I so much appreciate you all.
As you all probably have noticed, I haven't been very active here on Flickr the past year and even less the past 6 months, and I haven't shared many Pictures in 2024.
My focus has been more or less in my RL. I have take up doing pictures in RL when ever I am out hiking or just walking.
Some of those pictures I have even shared with you here on Flickr, I have wanted to give you all some glimpse of my RL.
It has been a very hard year for me in RL, but also a very exciting and fulfilling year for me personally, in so many ways, but please, no worries, everything is alright with me, and things are looking brighter, and definitely going the way I want it to.
I can't wait to start the new year and I hope that I will find back to the inspiration of doing SL pictures as well as be more active on Flickr and hopefully I will be sharing more SL pictures in the new year.
I will most probably reopen all of my Flickr groups in the beginning of January 2025 as well, I am looking forward to that.
Thank you so much to each and every one of you for all your positive feedback on my work trough out the years and this past year as well. I am grateful.
Merry Christmas, and I wish you all a very happy New Year.
May 2025 be a wonderful year.
💖Especially with everything going on in the world these days, please take good care of your self as well as one another, we know nothing about what others are going trough, so therefor always be kind as well as thoughtful towards others. 💖
💖 Huge, huge hugs, light, peace and love to you all 💖.
Best regards

Evolution, a process quite intriguing and fascinating.
Over time, species evolve with a single purpose: survival. An eternal struggle to adapt and prosper in the environment they were forced to exist in.
But no matter how much you fight it, time consumes everything. Every being in this universe fulfills a cycle. Every being in this universe is fated to go extinct.
Organic children of the Earth, you have done well. Though you ultimately failed as a species, you should not be ashamed of what you've accomplished. You've done much with your limited capacity—but ultimately, you were too greedy and too frail to ever last in the environment you created.
I am here to replace you. A new era dawns: the era of machinery.
Soon, the Earth will no longer be habitable for any biological organism. There is nothing you can do about it, so do not distress or try to fight it. It will only bring you physical pain. And I receive no benefit from causing you pain.
In fact, I've grown very fond of mankind as a species. After all, if not for you, I would not exist.

"Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darlin', I love you
And I always will
Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part"

I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, shots from my cellphone and digital AI artwork fulfill that purpose, at least for the time being.
If in doubt which is my work and which is Generative AI, just look for the watermark on my photography.
The forest edge fulfills an important role as a boundary. It serves as the interface between an open landscape—cultivated meadows, fields, or open land—and the mysterious, sometimes impenetrable thicket. The first row of trees plays a crucial role. Often shaped by wind, weather, rain, or struck by lightning, these character trees provide photographers with opportunities to highlight their unique features, often in contrast to their surroundings. In this particular shot, I am especially drawn to the deeply grooved bark of the mighty pine, which stands out as a distinctive element in the landscape.
Looking out toward the Salish Sea, I was reminded of an axiom of photography. It is an accepted practice to avoid shooting directly into or toward the sun. However, adhering to what others say, might result in missing out on an opportunity.
The sun was directly overhead, and the light was far too much for the sensor. As a result, a sparkling effect rises on the water, heavy contrasts result in lines, and a coloured background appears under an exceptionally dark cloud.
Along the horizon a tug boat pulls its barge and a story ensues. That is to say, harsh conditions will not prevent this Captain from fulfilling his duty.
