There is a perfect harmony between the geometric shapes created by human consciousness and the unique creation of nature. This is the greatest evidence that they have material and spiritual ties with the real creator. That is, man is the essence of the realm...
A'mâk-ı Hayâl
Filibeli Ahmet Himî
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
Buddha
I have shown this photo in a colour version before.
Today I show it again as a symbol of social distancing, which has become so normal for all of us in these days
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
- Lao Tzu -
"I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures." Lao Tzu
Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for
Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
Taking your breath, stealing your mind
And all that was real is left behind
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over
It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open
It's a preacher in the pulpit and you'll find devotion
There's something breaking at the brick of every wall it's holding I'll let you now
So tell me do you wanna go?
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
- Benj Pasek (The Greatest Show)
once I wanted to be the greatest,
no wind or waterfall could stall me,
and then came the rush of the flood,
stars at night turned deep to dust.
I recently visited an university for a try-out day where I followed a couple of lectures for philosophy. It was a rather interesting experience. Though I admittedly did not find all the lectures particularly interesting, there was one that stuck by me. [read more...]

♫ Teddy Swims - The Christmas Song (Cover) ♫
[A1]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
[A2]
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
[B1]
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
[A3]
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

*Working Towards a Better World
Humankind's greatest priority is to reintegrate with the natural world. - Jonathon Porritt
In reality, we haven't escaped the gravity of life at all. We are still beholden to ecological laws, the same as any other life-form. - Janine M. Benyus
Our relationship with nature is more one of being than having. We are nature: we do not have nature. - Steven Harper
The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction. - Rachel Carson
The underlying economic logic of an economy based on unlimited growth remains largely unchallenged in public discourse. - Timothy C. Weiskel
A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being. - Mohammed
The missing link between animals and a truly humane mankind is man himself, who does not yet see himself as a part of the world, claiming it instead for himself. -
Dr. Michael W. Fox, One Earth, One Mind
Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether its victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. -Rachel Carson
We must never permit the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man. - Albert Schweitzer, quoted in Reverence for Life

What do you get if you take four former Red Arrows pilots with thousands of hours between them and four Extra 300s, one of the world’s greatest aerobatic aircraft?...... The Blades display team.
This is one of the four.
El reflejo de una puerta.
Un espejo o tan sólo una proyección de sí misma.
¿ Una luz rodeada de oscuridad ?
¿ O un intento de iluminación perfecta ?
Una idea, una ayuda.

These bastards were full on racing down the hill to the river then back up, I caught them up after turning around in my 1986 Z31 eventually to catch this moment, and something nobody can appreciate until they hear it, the V10 scream!

Meeresrauschen. Manchmal findet man es auf dem Grund.

Sometimes one finds the greatest treasures hidden deep, as perhaps in the depths of the ocean on the ocean floor. There, where a small ray of light has lost its way and makes something glitter, like silver. A little something perhaps, that has something special for you. Maybe you can listen to the sound of the sea, if you hold the found to the ear*. Unfortunately, this small snail shell has a hole and it is already a bit worn over the years in the ocean. Nevertheless, this snail shell is valuable to me. Well – I did not dive into the eerie depths of the water – I just picked it up from the beach. That was not difficult, that was by the way while walking on the soft sand. But now that I have the snail shell lying on my desk here, brought from a faraway land, it's important to me and especially ...

Manchmal findet man die größten Schätze ganz tief verborgen, wie z. B. in den Tiefen des Ozeans auf dem Meeresgrund. Da, wo sich ein kleiner Lichtstrahl verirrt hat und etwas zum Glitzern bringt, wie versilbert. Eine Kleinigkeit vielleicht, die für einen etwas Besonderes hat. Vielleicht kann man dem Meeresrauschen lauschen, wenn man sich das Gefundene ans Ohr* hält. Dieses kleine Schneckengehäuse hat leider ein Loch und auch sonst ist es über die Jahre im Ozean bereits etwas verschlissen. Trotzdem ist diese Schneckenhülle für mich wertvoll. Gut – ich bin nicht in die unheimlichen Tiefen des Wassers abgetaucht – ich habe sie ganz schlicht vom Strand aufgelesen. Das war nicht schwer, das war ganz nebenbei beim Gehen auf dem weichen Sand. Aber jetzt, wo ich das Schneckengehäuse hier auf meinem Schreibtisch liegen habe, aus einem jetzt fernen Land mitgebracht, ist es für mich wichtig und besonders ...

*The "sound of the sea" in the shell / Wikipedia
/
It is said that the sound of the sea should be heard in shells. It is possible to record the noise of the shell with a microphone without a human close by. The noise would then be heard on the recording. In fact, this is a resonance phenomenon: as in a wind instrument, there is an air column in the shell, which has a certain natural frequency. That's the sound that comes when you make the shell swing. The air column is vibrated by barely noticeable sounds in the environment, whose frequencies correspond approximately to the natural frequency of the shell. As a result, these otherwise inaudible ambient noise is significantly enhanced. The resulting sound mixture is perceived by people as noise.

Das „Meeresrauschen“ in der Muschel / Wikipedia
/
Es heißt, dass in Muscheln das Rauschen des Meeres zu hören sein soll. Man kann nämlich das Rauschen der Muschel mit einem Mikrofon aufnehmen, ohne dass sich ein Mensch in der Nähe befindet. Auf der Aufnahme wäre das Rauschen dann zu hören. Tatsächlich handelt es sich hierbei um ein Resonanzphänomen: Wie in einem Blasinstrument befindet sich in der Schale eine Luftsäule, die eine bestimmte Eigenfrequenz besitzt. Das ist jener Ton, welcher entsteht, wenn man die Muschel zum Schwingen bringt. Die Luftsäule wird durch kaum merkliche Geräusche in der Umgebung, deren Frequenzen ungefähr der Eigenfrequenz der Muschel entsprechen, in Schwingung versetzt. Dadurch werden diese sonst nicht hörbaren Umgebungsgeräusche erheblich verstärkt. Das entstehende Tongemisch wird vom Menschen als Rauschen wahrgenommen.

#MacroMondays 2019 / February 19 / #Holes / HMM to everyone!
One of the greatest joys of my last trip! To find this adorable sea otter in the wild. For years I've been looking for them and now I can say I'm really happy! :-) This one was feasting at Monterey, California.
The sea otter (Enhydra lutris) is a marine mammal native to the coasts of the northern and eastern North Pacific Ocean. Adult sea otters typically weigh between 14 and 45 kg (31 and 99 lb), making them the heaviest members of the weasel family, but among the smallest marine mammals. Unlike most marine mammals, the sea otter's primary form of insulation is an exceptionally thick coat of fur, the densest in the animal kingdom. Although it can walk on land, the sea otter is capable of living exclusively in the ocean. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_otter

This moment is the exact reason why I do this. To sit on a cliff and look out to world with no distractions. Just you, God and the big wide world. A time to dream, a time to reminisce and reflect, a time to simply breathe.

I went out after the rain on Sunday morning to try to if I could get a photo of this Yellow Warbler. I knew where they were as for the past couple years I have had luck here in Grand River Park with them. But of course the conditions were not the greatest just dark heavy grey overcast skies.
I pushed the camera a bit to try to get a decent shot, just not super thrilled on the sharpness and details at ISO 6400 with my Canon 7d Mark II.
