Oher-worldly symmetry looking west from the Stansbury Island, UT, causeway.
Look closely at the bottom third of the image; it isn't solid black, you'll see another, faint, pattern of a foreground water channel, also.

I took this back in october, but edited it for a discussion in one of my groups. I like it black and white. I didn’t do this to the ones I gave mom.. now I may go through others :)
explore highest position?? AHHH - I wasn't on when it hit front page!
Pine Warbler in its element at Little St. Simons Island. One of the fascinating things about this island is the varied habitat - beach, forest, marshland, trails of moss-laden cedars. Along with the varied habitat comes a fascinating variety of birds - from the big herons, osprey and eagles, to the little warblers like the one pictured here.
In Pipestone Minnesota. Built of locally quarried quartzite. Rumor has it the Inn is haunted, although we had no luck meeting the ghost. (Or ghosts).
Lies in the north end of Tongxiang city, to the west of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Wuzhen is a famous old town in southwest China, with a history of more than 1300 years. As a typical southwestern water town, Wuzhen completely remains the look and structure of the water towns in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republican ear. Houses are built leaning to the water, followed by streets passing through and combined with bridges. When evening falls, lights escaping from windows light up the water and the town, presenting a picturesque and peaceful scenery.

We are always in a state of unrest. We always have little time for others, more so for our own selves. There's always the need to beat the next person to the door, to the next level in the professional world, to earn a few more bucks...the race is incessant. The pursuit relentless. We seem to have forgotten the small guilty pleasures of life - slurp on an ice crush bought form a roadside vendor, run in an open field of poppies with the rains osculating your cheeks, scream from the top of a high rise till your lungs nearly burst, splash on a puddle of water on your way home...Time too has played its role, tick tock-ing its way to the next second, a horrifying reminder that with every passing moment, we have less of it available to celebrate our accomplishments and set goals for the next. I stood still for this photograph, the question is ... will you join me?

mondo dove regna ancora tanta cattiveria ......vi voglio far conoscere Antonietta , albergatrice Riminese amica dei senzatetto
In questi giorni le cronache italiane sono monopolizzate dall’emergenza freddo e dalle temperature polari che mettono a rischio persone anziane, bambini e tutte le categorie sociali più svantaggiate. Ma, tra le altre, spicca una notizia positiva: sulla riviera romagnola esiste un albergo che, ogni anno, quando le temperature diventano più rigide, apre le sue porte ai senza fissa dimora, alle ragazze madri e alle famiglie indigenti, che altrimenti rischierebbero di diventare le prime vittime dell’emergenza gelo.
Questo piccolo albergo, che una volta all’anno si trasforma in luogo di accoglienza per i meno fortunati, si trova a Rimini ed è gestito da Antonietta Curcio in Cimino e dalla sua famiglia. Dal 2006 Antonietta, di origine salernitana e albergatrice a Rimini da circa 40 anni, ogni inverno mette la sua struttura e il suo personale a disposizione dei meno fortunati, offrendo loro pernottamento e prima colazione – con servizio ai tavoli e personale ai piani compresi.
Questa esperienza di generosità verso i meno fortunati si ripete ormai da sei inverni consecutivi e nasce da un grave lutto familiare. Nel 2003 Antonietta perde il figlio minore, Osman, in un incidente stradale e, da allora, spesso le capita di sognare il figlio prematuramente scomparso. Nel gennaio 2006, però, Antonietta fa un sogno molto diverso dagli altri: “Anche quella volta, come spesso mi capita, sognai Osman. Era un periodo terribile, avevo perso qualsiasi interesse nella vita. Nel sogno gli chiesi di portarmi via con lui. Ma lui mi rispose: “No, mamma, tu devi vivere, puoi ancora aiutare tanta gente” racconta commossa.
Sconvolta dal sogno, Antonietta non riesce più a dormire e decide di fare due passi a piedi, da casa all’Hotel Britannia. Ha nevicato da poco, le strade sono ghiacciate e fa molto freddo. Continua a pensare al sogno, ma il messaggio del figlio non le è chiaro. Durante il tragitto incontra alcuni senzatetto che cercano di scaldarsi come possono e, dopo essere arrivata in albergo e aver apprezzato la piacevole sensazione di avere un luogo caldo in cui passare la notte, riflette su cosa potrebbe fare di concreto per “aiutare tanta gente”. Forse la sua missione è proprio quella: dare ai meno fortunati in un rifugio caldo e sicuro per la notte. “Ho capito”, ha detto Antonietta, “che potevo accogliere i poveri che soffrivano per il freddo”.........

Oggi 8 febbraio sono 80 le persone ospitate all'Hotel Britannia, la cui proprietaria Antonietta ha dato la disponibilità delle proprie 33 camere per dare una risposta a chi si trova in stato di grave difficoltà“

Scusate se la riposto , ma voglio fare conoscere il più possibile questa storia !!!
In the background you see the entrance of the famous Euphrasian Basilica with a mosaic dating from the 6th century.
I think this is marigold (if not, please correct). They were in the plant pot in Chinese Garden. Very rainy day.
I hope everyone is having a good week. Mine is getting busier by the hour and I may have to stay away from Flickr for several days. I will try to visit your streams whenever I can, but if you don’t see my buddy icon for a few days, just know that I will get around to popping in sooner or later. Take care you all. And keep those spectacular images coming.
In realtà era un tramonto... ma mi dava l'idea di una resurrezione.
Actually it was sunset... but it gave me the idea of a resurrection.

The colours of my last posts may be too strong for some people, but I'm in 'desperate' need of some colour lately.
=)
Our weather hasn't improved at all. It's raining almost every day, so bear with my colour cravings please!
=)
Hope you're ok! Enjoy your day/night!

Great Nebula in Carina
This is a bi-colour image of one of the largest diffuse nebulae in our skies. It is a spectacular object that is about four times as large and even brighter than the famous Orion Nebula. It is one of my favourite objects in the Southern Hemisphere. Near the centre of the image you will see a very bright hypergiant star - Eta Carinae. Its luminosity is about four million times that of the Sun. Within the large bright nebula is a much smaller feature, immediately surrounding Eta Carinae itself. This small nebula is known as the Homunculus Nebula. If you look carefully, you can see that this star is not round. This happened in enormous outburst in 1841.
This was imaged under the great light dome of Melbourne, Australia

Die Barrikade auf dem Michaelerplatz in der Nacht vom 26. auf den 27. Mai 1848
Anton Ziegler
1848
Wien Museum
"The demonstration of the students on March 13, with which they demanded freedom of speech, teaching, and learning, was the starting note for the revolutionary events of 1848. From then on, the “Academic legion”, an armed formation of students, was at the forefront of all revolutionary actions. When the government resolved to dissolve the Legion, the students, supported by workers from the periphery, erected roughly 160 barricades in Vienna’s city centre from 26 to 28 May, with which they forced the government to repeal the decree." sammlung.wienmuseum.at/en/album/a2ciemencqh4v4gpf-barrica...

The Alpsee is a lake in the Ostallgäu district of Bavaria, Germany, located about 4 kilometres southeast of Füssen. It is close to the Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles. The lake has just under five kilometres of shoreline and a depth of up to 62 metres.
Alpsee is a popular tourist attraction, given its proximity to the castles and the wild swans that inhabit the lake.[1] Boats are available for rent and there is a wide variety of hiking trails in the vicinity. A circular path leads around the shore, and the "Fürstenstrasse" (Princes' Road) leads from Hohenschwangau over the Schwarzenberg ridge and down to Pinswang in the Lechtal.
Ancient windmills at the Lasitha plateau, Crete.
There is a whole serie of these mills all in decay.
Years ago there where about 10.000 windmills on the plateau, most of them are in decay, they use electric pumps to pump up the water.
Standing in the harbour and looking up to the new houses - only a few old houses are there. To live here is very expensive - you have the best view around.

Vom Hafen aus schaut man auf die neuen Häuser - es sind nur noch wenige alte vorhanden. Hier zu wohnen ist recht kostspielig - man hat den besten Ausblick.

It’s growing in a small pond. I don’t know the name of this little red flower. However these are eight pictures brought to one via stacking.

I ride past this field everyday when I ride my bike and I have been watching it get more intense in color...... this is the peek I believe!
24:52 - Make a portrait where the primary goal is to engineer intimacy from a situation that is fundamentally artificial.
I was struggling with the theme for this week and I was going to sit it out but then I asked Monique for some ideas. She gave me the idea of using dandelions (which my husband had just mowed down!). I planted these English Daisies in the garden and took this shot. When I saw it on screen I noticed that the flowers were intertwined naturally together, so bingo I had my shot! Thanks for the inspiration Monique.
In October, Rocky Mountain Minifigs released a “Woodland Creatures” line of eight custom minifigs. I recently bought two of them - on the left, an Abbey Mouse and on the right, a Vermin Wildcat Warlord. I have vague plans to work them into a Forestmen or Wolfpack scene.
The Archie 100 caption says it all.
In the background we have already seen the portrait for former Prime Minister Paul Keating by Bryan Westwood. Next to it is the portrait of a young Sydney MP, John Howard, who was to succeed Keating as PM from 1996 to 2007. The suburban setting is quite deliberate, as Howard always made an appeal to middle classes. The founder of the Liberal Party, Sir Robert Menzies, once called them “the forgotten people”, and at the turn of the century they became “Howard’s battlers”. This work by Josonia Palaitis in 1979 has all the qualities of photo-realism. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/artboards/archie-100/in-polite-...
Behind the ladies in polite conversation (one perfectly colour-coordinated with the Howard painting) is William Pidgeon’s 1961 portrait of Australian Chief Rabbi Dr Israel Porush (1907–91). The rabbi was born in Jerusalem and sent to Germany for further education in his Orthodox Judaism and also mathematics. When you think about it the transcendental nature of pure mathematics has a surprising ally in a transcendental faith. But by 1934 it became too dangerous to remain. Hitler had assumed dictatorial control of the country, and so he moved to London. In 1940 he was appointed to Sydney’s Great Synagogue.

frame the important things in your life. I truly believe in the importance of prioritising things. So many things can come up that cloud over the good and take away from what is important. Make yourself a list of what you dreams/goals are and see what steps are needed to achieve them. It's only these that should be on your mind. The parts of life that are temporary are not worth being on your mind, I've often found that the negative things in my life are in fact temporary anyway, keep positive.
