Rolling green hills (which are not quite as green yet due to the time of year) and behind them the rugged and steep peaks of the Wendelstein massif in the Bavarian Alps. A sight full of contrasts that immediately fascinated me.

It feels so good to draw my attention to these wonders of nature, to absorb the beauty and to remain in humility. I'm trapped and at the same time I feel so free. Caught in awe and freed from the need to take sides and formulate judgments.

 

Sanfte grüne Hügel (die auf Grund der Jahreszeit noch nicht ganz so grün sind) und dahinter die schroffen und steilen Gipfel des Wendelsteinmassivs in den bayrischen Alpen. Ein Anblick voller Gegensätze, der mich sofort begeistert hat.

Es tut so gut meine Aufmerksamkeit auf diese Wunder der Natur zu lenken, die Schöheit in mich aufzunehmen und in Demut zu verharren. Ich bin gefangen und gleichzeit fühle ich mich so befreit. Gefangen in der Erfurcht und befreit von der Ntowendigkeit Partei zu ergreifen und Urteile zu formulieren.

Besser ist es ein Opfer menschlicher Schwäche zu werden, als zu den Starken und Unterdrückern zu gehören, welche die Blumen des Lebens mit ihren Füßen zertreten

Khalil Gibran

 

Grün für Hoffnung

Gelb für Wärme

Rot für Liebe

Orange für Geborgenheit

Violett für Demut

Weiß für alles Gute und Richtige

  

It is better to become a victim of human weakness than to belong to the strong and oppressors who trample the flowers of life with their feet.

Khalil Gibran

  

Green for hope

Yellow for warmth

Red for love

Orange for security

Purple for humility

White for everything good and right

   

 

One fine day i had a snap session with him. I make brutal art that day - to be honest, of course i didn´t. As always, I took one trillion snaps and then deleted almost all of them. He really has been so humble and kind, he was very patient with me. He always behaved like a gentelman.

 

Another time we had a conversation where he talked about not being perfect and facing life as best he can. That impressed me very much, because people in our "perfect world" are afraid of showing weakness and rarely talk about having flaws. I think that says everything about him as the human being.

 

Without art I would never have met him, so I'm thankful for this moments. His attitude towards life and his way of treating people well shows the truth in his heart. Always reach for the stars, my friend Arnno.

Here he is standing at dawn, like an insect among giants of sandstone that are already standing here bevor humans even found any term to express time. His eyes are wandering across a landscape what is so breathtaking and so multi-faceted that he knows, he will not be able to conceive it completely in his entire life. Still he will try it, over and over again. Because its worth it.

 

Da steht er nun in der Morgendämmerung, gleich einem Insekt unter Giganten aus Sandstein welche schon hier waren, bevor der Mensch enen Begriff für Zeit gefunden hatte. Er lässt seinen Blick über eine Landschaft schweifen die so atemberaubend und so vielschichtig ist, dass er weiß, er wird sie in seinem ganzen Leben nicht voll erfassen können. Trotzdem wird er es versuchen, immer wieder. Weil es sich lohnt.

An unusual obelisk stands on the central square of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. It was established in 1792 by the famous scholar and church leader - Metropolitan Plato (Levshin). On each side of the obelisk is a medallion with a text explaining exactly what role Laurus played in a given era ...

Many people know the monastery of St. Sergius of Radonezh as the spiritual center of Russian Orthodoxy and a collection of remarkable architectural monuments. But not everyone knows how important he played in the sharp turns of Russian history. And it’s hard to say in which country and how we would live today, if not for this monastery.

St. Sergius taught people primarily love and forgiveness. He himself set an example of humility in the most difficult situations.

Thousands of pilgrims come to the Lavra daily. There are 11 temples in the monastery.

Trinity Church is not the largest in the architectural ensemble of the Lavra, but it is here that the majority of those who came to the monastery are in a hurry. The whole time the temple is open for people to visit, the flow of people going into it does not stop: pilgrims hurry to bow to the relics of the founder of the monastery, St. Sergius.

a profound truth that humanity has since disregarded to its own detriment. Since the words "humility" and "humble" also derive from humus, it is rather ironic that we should have assigned our species so arrogant a name as Homo sapiens sapiens ("wise wise man") :-)

I'm standing here on the cliffs of Ponta do Rosto on Madeira, 350 meters above sea level and I'm just overwhelmed by the sight. This is the first time I'm beginning to see the potential of this island and it won't be the last. I feel the salty wind on my face and hear the Atlantic Ocean crashing against the rocks. An indescribable feeling. It doesn't bother the photographer in me that much that the lighting conditions are anything but optimal.

This is a lesser known spot on the São Lourenço Peninsula that we went to after seeing the crowds elsewhere. We shall return there in two days, at sunrise.

When I am in such places, a feeling of humility always overcomes me. I am nothing compared to the huge cliffs of rock below me or the hundreds of kilometers of ocean in front of me. A grain of sand in the desert. This helps me a lot to take myself and my own issues a little less seriously and importantly.

 

Ich stehe hier an der Steilküste des Ponta do Rosto auf Madeira 350 Meter über dem Meer und bin einfach nur überwältigt von diesem Anblick. Das ist das erste Mal, dass ich das Potential dieser Insel zu erahnen beginne und es ist nicht das letzte Mal. Ich spüre den salzigen Wind im Gesicht und höre den Atlantischen Ozean mit Macht gegen die Felsen prallen. Ein unbeschreibliches Gefühl. Da stört es den Fotografen in mir auch nicht so sehr, dass die Lichtverhältnisse alles andere als optimal sind.

Wir befinden uns hier auf einem weniger bekannten Spot auf der Halbinsel São Lourenço den wir aufgesucht haben nachdem wir die Menschenmengen an der anderen Stelle gesehen haben. Dorthin werden wir in zwei Tagen zurück kehren, zum Sonnenaufgang.

Wenn ich an solchen Orten bin überkommt mich jedesmal ein Gefühl von Demut. Ich bin ein Nichts im Verhältnis zu dem rießigen Felsenklippen unter mir oder den hunderten Kilometern Ozean vor mir. Ein Sandkorn in der Wüste. Das hilft mir sehr dabei mich und meine eigenen Themen etwas weniger ernst und wichtig zu nehmen.

Each fall in Alaska we would hike to search and photograph the quintessential rutting moose. (Apart from those that visited the suburbs.) As we returned home on this rainy, foggy day, we spotted a bull moose at an unexpected home (not ours). Excitedly I leaped out to try to capture this handsome, large beast. Paid little attention to his possibly unhappy position of his ears or my shutter speed.

 

But I post this in all humility and happiness as I recall the moments of fun and joy. In all my encounters with these magnificent ungulates, not one charged me. Lucky.

 

I'm recalling joy as I avoid news. We must save our country and global emergency and fires and Black lives and human decency and contain Covid!

Pose 267.12 by SAPA [sponsor]

 

Cause everyone has a heart

And every heart has a separate shadow

Every shadow will crave to come clean

 

There's no need no need no need for humility

That's just the ego advertising differently

When your father's weeping in silence

And your mother's looking for guidance

It's the sun, the moon, the sun and the starfuckery

The building of the church started in 1647 and was finished 40 years later. The pulpet (1739) and the altar (1765) are made by Isak Schullström. The christening funt in wood is made by Ola Eriksson in 1904. His brother Christian Eriksson (one of Swedens most famous sculptors) made the sculpture "The Humility", placed on the north side of the church´s exterior. Christian himself is buried opposite the sculpture.

Life’s a waiting game

When we gonna see that life is happening?

And that every single body bleeding on its knees is an abomination

And every natural being is making communication

And we’re just sparks, tiny parts of a bigger constellation

We’re miniscule molecules that make up one body

You see the tragedy and pain of a person that you’ve never met

Is present in your nightmares, in your pull towards despair

And the sickness of the culture, and the sickness in our hearts

Is a sickness that’s inflicted by this distance that we share

Now, it was our bombs that started this war

And now it rages far away

So we dismiss all its victims as strangers

But they’re parents and children made dogs by the danger

Existence is futile, so we don’t engage

But it was our boats that sailed, killed, stole, and made frail

It was our boots that stamped

It was our courts that jailed

And it was our fuckin’ banks that got bailed

It was us who turned bleakly away

Looked back down at our nails and our wedding plans

In the face of a full-force gale, we said

“Well, it’s not up to us to make this place a better land

It’s not up to us to make this place a better land.”

Justice, justice, recompense, humility

Trust is, trust is something we will never see

Till love is unconditional

The myth of the individual has left us disconnected, lost, and pitiful

Cornus Glorida

One day about 2000 years ago a large dogwood growing on the top of the hill of Golgotha was deeply shocked. He witnessed how the wood from a family member was abused: it was used to make the cross on which Jesus then died.

 

He was deeply ashamed, bowed his crown in humility and decided to stop growing. He mourned for days on end and then turned to God: “Help me, God, to never ever allow our wood to be used again for something so dreadful. Wouldn’t it be better for me and my family members to remain small, so that we can never be abused again like this?” Because the dogwood was so stricken by remorse, God agreed to his request. From that day on dogwoods grow slowly and never reach any great height. They stop growing once they have reached the proportions of a small tree. But he remains strong: his wood is very hard. For his humility God gave him a gift. From that day on the dogwood is one of the first to blossom.

The only thing I've been dreaming of is eternal happiness with you

It doesn't have to be fancy or perfect, the only thing I want is you

 

Don't worry (l believe) Always (l believe) I won't forget this moment

In my arms (l believe) your smile will never lose its light

 

Cause your love is so sweet, you are my everything

I'm not just saying this because I'm happy

I'll only have eyes for you

 

You're the light of my life, you're the one in my life

Even if I lose everything,

I will never regret it, and keep loving you

With the everlasting love in my heart

 

From this moment on, the most important person in my life isn't me, it's you.

I can't show my true feelings with words, but I love only you.

Like friends, or like lovers,

Until my last breath, I will only love you.

 

With the mind of one, and an unshakable trust in each other,

I hope we'll comfort each other in misery and celebrate happiness together

 

I promise you (I believe) when things get hard (I believe) I'll protect you

In my arms (l believe) your smile will never lose its light

 

Cause your love is so sweet, you are my everything

I'm not just saying this because I'm happy

I will never change, I won't change

I'll only have eyes for you

 

You're the light of my life, you're the one in my life

Even if I lose everything,

I will never regret it, and keep loving you

With the everlasting love in my heart

Thanks for your snap. I also had you in focus this morning just for fun
