This is a Black-eyed Susan from my Michigan native wildflower garden. It's in the composite family meaning it has two types of flowers in the flower head. The yellow "petals" are actually ray flowers, and the dark central disk is composed of tightly-packed small "disk flowers".

 

This is an unopened flower head, with the rays seemingly forming "prison bars" around the disk flowers. It would be completely opened the next day.

 

What was art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itself ----- life hurrying past us & running away , too strong to stop , too sweet to lose .

 

----- Willa Cather

Most of us are imprisoned by something. We're living in darkness until something flips on the switch. Wynonna Judd

 

"Imprison it and keep the light on.

Hug me no matter why or how.

Double bed the sweat leader.

Time is ashes, the pain a shipwrecked.

I love you in every verse, every sound of mine.

I ask you in every wave of me, every step where I live.

 

Imprison it and keep the light on.

Hug me no matter why or how.

Sleeping on your breasts is a sweet habit.

Every darkness is extinguished by your caress.

Fire in the gaze, pulses in my blood.

The shooting star in my summer.

I love you in every verse, every sound of mine.

I ask you in every wave of me, every step where I live.

 

As you are leaving, don't forget, my little one,

the one who stays back loved you very much."

"ALONE"

Nitoglobus Roof Gallery, June 2022

 

Thank you all who spent some of your time to visit it.

A hard time controlling that brilliant sunlight filtering through the trees above and the deep dark shadows of this narrow gorge. It took a lot of trial and error but got a few shots that captured how the sunrays were hitting the falling water! Looks like a hooded figure under the cascade, don't you think?

 

More falling water in my galleries Ebook.

 

Check them out!

As far as I can remember this very old Mercedes W21 (built between 1933 and 1935) has been always on a fenced yard near my favorite inline skating route. On the other side of the road is a small airfield that used to be a Luftwaffe Air Base during the WW2. What is if this car belonged to a Luftwaffe pilot who went on a mission and never returned? And the car is still standing there waiting for its owner who will never return? Just my fantasies :-)

The Canário-da-terra-verdadeiro (Sicalis flaveola) is a bird admired for its loud cracking song and is therefore often imprisoned as a captive bird (it is among the 10 most seized, according to IBAMA), even though it is considered a crime without bail by the Environmental Crimes Law (Law 9.605 / 98).

Thanks to the action of the authorities and the awareness of the population, records of the true canary have become more frequent in recent years. Particularly in the region where I was born the population is growing a lot, and we find them on the streets and sidewalks feeding on grass seeds or occasionally small insects. Even in the city of Rio de Janeiro you can see flocks in parks and gardens, and hear their unmistakable singing.

 

This side - those seagulls are free forever ; against the other side in the distance - Alcatraz Island, there was a federal prison from 1934 until 1963. Because of its isolation from the outside by the cold and strong currents of the waters of San Francisco Bay, even the co-founder of Chicago Outfit, Al Capone, who had been jailed there.

 

The image perspective was viewing from Crissy Field, San Francisco, California. Tried to take long exposure to smooth the water surface and to darken the color. Hopefully I could get a simpler form in the frame, which was my purpose. Thank you for stopping by, with best wishes for you and your family!

The decaying walls of San Francisco's Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary.

Busy streets, tall buildings, people rushing to go to their work, patches of green on a concrete canvas, reflections on glass facades, sharp edges, clean lines. Elements that you find in a big city, elements that have nothing to do with nature. Modern societies are mostly built around an urban scenery. They way we live has drastically changed, some will say it became better, some other people will say that even though we live so close to each other, we are so distant from each other. A bunch of people imprisoned to the modern way of living, imprisoned to the routine. We can see freedom only when we look up, when we see the sky...

Πολυσυχναστοι δρομοι, ψηλα κτηρια, ανθρωποι να τρεχουν στις δουλειες τους, κομματια πρασινου σε μια θαλασσα γκρι, αντανακλασεις σε γυαλινες επιφανειες, κοφτερες γωνιες και καθαρες γραμμες. Στοιχεια που τα βρισκεις σε αφθονια σε μια μεγαλη πολη, στοιχεια που δεν εχουν καμμια σχεση με τη φυση. Οι συγχρονες κοινωνιες ειναι κατα βαση δομημενες γυρω απο ενα αστικο σκηνικο. Ο τροπος που ζουμε εχει αλλαξει δραστικα, καποιοι ισχυριζονται οτι εγινε καλυτερος, καποιοι αλλοι θα πουν οτι παροτι ζουμε τοσο κοντα ο ενας στον αλλον, ειμαστε τοσο απομακροι. Ανθρωποι εγκλωβισμενοι στο μοντερνο τροπο ζωης, εγκλωβισμενοι στη ρουτινα. Μπορουμε να δουμε την ελευθερια μονο οταν κοιταξουμε ψηλα, οταν δουμε τον ουρανο..

The Wachau Valley is an Austrian region near the Danube River, west of Vienna. It’s known for its rolling hills, vineyards and fortresses. Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in the castle above the town of Dürnstein. Highlights of nearby Gottweig Abbey include its lavish baroque church and views across the valley.

*Working Towards a Better World

 

Torture is banned but in two-thirds of the world's countries it is still being committed in secret. Too many governments still allow wrongful imprisonment, murder or 'disappearance' to be carried out by their officials with impunity.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

"While memories help us to maintain a sense of continuity in life, it can also hold us captive as we used them to build walls around us, imprisoning our mind and seeing life only through a small tinted window".
