Not Antelope Canyon but Canyon X, only to visit as part of a guided tour (im sorry, but i have no coordinates, the area is private property).
At noon there is much indirect light on the canyon walls. In conjunction with a long exposure arising as particularly intense colors. Therefore, it is incomprehensible that the tour guides today don't allow a tripod at the photo tours.
Nicht Antelope Canyon sondern Canyon X, nur zu besuchen im Rahmen einer geführten Tour (Koordinaten habe ich nicht, der Canyon befindet sich auf Privatgelände).
Am Mittag hat man sehr viel indirektes Licht auf den Canyonwänden. In Verbindung mit einer Langzeitbelichtung ergeben sich so besonders intensive Farben. Deshalb ist nicht nachvollziehbar, dass die Tour-Guides heute kein Stativ bei den Fototouren zulassen.

On the hike to the Observation Point in the Zion National Park, you will pass this man-made rock overhang in the Echo Canyon. Depending on the light incident, the rocks glow in the indirect light (in late October, this was early afternoon).
Auf der Wanderung zum Observation Point im Zion NP passiert man diesen von Menschenhand geschaffenen Felsüberhang im Echo Canyon. Je nach Lichteinfall glühen die Felsen im indirekten Licht (Ende Oktober war dies am frühen Nachmittag).

....or in secrecy - will be brought into the light. A truth made clear either directly or indirectly in ancient scriptures across the globe.
Take the ancient Egyptian symbolic temple wall depictions of the weighing of the soul - what else is that than a visual representation of the above, and the import is clear - all that is done is known to those spiritual authorities that are so empowered.
So politicians beware, secretly doing the bidding of your shadow lurking masters on one hand whilst lying to the public on the other. And all you 'celebs' and 'philanthropist' billionaires who like to announce your 'charitable works', relax, you could have kept mum like many do - its all known, right down to the contents of your heart.
Ultimately, when the final push meets the final shove, there is no such thing as secrecy to the All Knowing Light.
That's all superstitious mumbo jumbo says modern wisdom with a cell phone glued to one hand and a mega latte to the other.......
Really?

In terms of conservation, threats to red kites have been via direct poisoning and indirect poisoning from pesticides resulting in almost extinction in the 1900's.. Woodland clearance and other changes in agricultural practices created a reduction in food resources. Other threats included electrocution, hunting and trapping and egg-collection. This persecution resulted in a rapidly declining population with extinction happening in Ireland. In 2006, the first Red Kite was seen in London after 150 years and they are now protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act. Whilst numbers have increased, they remain on the amber list.

The Moonrise Bridge in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument glows in indirect light in the afternoon sun. However, because of the terrain, this is not as easy as it was at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands NP in the morning. In the background you can see the more well-known Sunset Arch.

Helena of Troy was the most beautiful woman of the known world and the indirect cause of the Trojan War. She was daughter of Zeus, either by Leda or by Nemesis, and sister of the Dioscuri.
Helen’s suitors,including Odysseus,came from all parts of Greece, and from among them she chose Menelaus, Agamemnon’s younger brother. During an absence of Menelaus, however, Helen fled to Troy with Paris, son of the Trojan king Priam, an act that ultimately led to the Trojan War. When Paris was slain,once Troy was captured again,Menelaus and Helen were reunited and returned to Sparta, where they lived happily until their deaths.

At that time, this canyon was still an insider tip a few miles away from the well-known Antelope Canyon.
I was allowed to visit this canyon with the well-known photographer Mr. Jackson Bridges from Page / Arizona, a great relaxed photo tour without a time limit.
Unfortunately, Mr. Bridges passed away in 2019.
Escribir equivale a replicar tardíamente o a diferir la agresión: yo escribo para no pasar al acto, para evitar una crisis. La expresión es alivio, venganza indirecta de quien no pudiendo digerir una afrenta se rebela en palabras contra sus semejantes y contra sí mismo. (...) ¿Y la sabiduría? La sabiduría es precisamente lo contrario de la inspiración. El sabio que hay en nosotros arruina todos nuestros ímpetus, es el saboteador que nos disminuye y paraliza, que acecha al loco que somos para calmarle y comprometerle, para deshonrarle (...) Yo nunca he escrito una sola línea a mi temperamento normal. Y sin embargo, durante años me consideré como el único individuo sin taras. Ese orgullo me resultó benéfico: me permitió emborronar papel.
Escribir es una provocación, una visión afortunadamente falsa de la realidad que nos coloca por encima de lo que existe y de lo que nos parece existir. Hacerle la competencia a Dios, superarlo incluso mediante la sola virtud del lenguaje: ésa es la hazaña del escritor, espécimen ambiguo, desgarrado y engreído que, liberado de su condición natural, se ha abandonado a un vértigo magnífico, desconcertante siempre, a veces odioso. (...) Escribir es deshacerse de nuestros remordimientos y de nuestros rencores, es vomitar nuestros secretos. El escritor es un desequilibrado que utiliza esas ficciones que son las palabras para curarse. ¡Cuántos malestares, cuántos accesos siniestros he superado yo gracias a ese remedio insustancial!
Escribir es un vicio del que puede uno cansarse. A decir verdad, yo escribo cada vez menos, y acabaré sin duda dejando de escribir totalmente, no encontrándole el menor encanto a ese combate con los demás y conmigo mismo.
Cuando se escribe sobre un tema cualquiera, aunque sea mediocre, se experimenta un sentimiento de plenitud, acompañado de una brizna de altivez. Fenómeno más extraño aún: esa sensación de superioridad al evocar una figura que se admira. ¡Con qué facilidad se cree uno centro del mundo cuando se maneja una pluma! Escribir y venerar son cosas incompatibles: quiérase o no, hablar de Dios es mirarle por encima del hombro. La escritura es la revancha de la criatura, su respuesta a una Creación improvisada.

Die Goldene Stunde
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldene_Stunde_(Fotografie)
Goldene Stunde (Fotografie)
In der Fotografie wird die Zeitspanne kurz nach dem Sonnenaufgang oder kurz vor dem Sonnenuntergang als goldene Stunde bezeichnet. Das Sonnenlicht ist während dieser Zeit rötlicher und weicher als wenn die Sonne höher steht. Sie ist das Pendant zur blauen Stunde, welche die Zeit vor Sonnenaufgang, bzw. nach Sonnenuntergang bezeichnet, in der der Himmel tiefblau ist.
Begriff
Die Farbtemperatur des Tageslichts verändert sich während des Tages. Sie ist ungefähr 2000 K kurz nach dem Sonnenaufgang oder vor dem Sonnenuntergang, ungefähr bei 3500 K während der goldenen Stunde, und ca. 5500 K um Mittag. Die Farbtemperatur kann sich auch signifikant verändern durch die Höhe, die geografische Breite und die Wetterlage.
Wenn die Sonne kurz über dem Horizont steht, müssen die Lichtstrahlen eine größere Strecke durch die Erdatmosphäre zurücklegen, wodurch die Intensität des direkten Lichtes reduziert wird. Licht kürzerer Wellenlänge, also vor allem blaues Licht, wird mit höherer Wahrscheinlichkeit durch die Rayleigh-Streuung seitlich weggestreut, sodass die Farbe des direkten Sonnenlichts sich ins Rötliche verschiebt. Zusätzlich entstehen durch den kleinen Winkel des Sonnenstands längere Schatten.
Der Begriff goldene Stunde wird bildlich verwendet. Der Effekt hat keine definierte Dauer und verändert sich je nach geografischer Breite und Jahreszeit.

Golden hour (photography)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_hour_(photography)
In photography, the golden hour is the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky.
The period of time shortly before sunrise and shortly after sunset is called the "magic hour," especially by cinematographers. [1] [2] During this time the brightness of the sky matches the brightness of streetlights, signs, car headlights and lit windows. Also, during this period of time there are no sharp shadows because the sun has set (or hasn't risen). The magic hour is actually closer to twenty or thirty minutes.
The period of time shortly before the magic hour at sunrise (or after at sunset) is called the blue hour, when the Sun is at a significant depth below the horizon and residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue shade.
Location:
Coyote Buttes North (Wave - area), TopRock plateau.

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation was incorporated in 1993 to facilitate the merger of Burlington Northern, Incorporated, parent of the Burlington Northern Railroad, and Santa Fe Pacific Corporation, which owned the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (Santa Fe). The corporate merger was consummated on September 22, 1995, at which point shareholders of the previous companies became shareholders of BNSF and the two companies became wholly owned subsidiaries of BNSF. In December 1996, the two holding companies and two railroads were formally merged, and in January 1998 the remaining intermediate holding company was folded into the railroad.
Robert D. Krebs of Santa Fe Pacific was president of BNSF from the merger until 1999, chief executive from the merger until 2000, and chairman from 1997 until 2002. He was succeeded in all three positions by Matthew K. Rose.
On November 3, 2009, Berkshire Hathaway made a $26 billion offer to buy the remaining 77.4% of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation it did not already own, valuing the purchase at $34 billion. The deal, which including Berkshire's previous investment and the assumption of $10 billion in Burlington Northern debt brings the total value to $44 billion. Consummated February 12, 2010, it is the largest acquisition in Berkshire Hathaway's history.
The deal was structured so that the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation would merge with and into R Acquisition Company, LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. The deal closed on February 12, 2010, and at the same time, the now merged company changed its name to Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC that remains an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway.

As if it were a dream space, the sun rises behind thin cloud veils over the Palatinate Forest, Germany. Delicate morning light nestles against the autumn-colored trees that stand out from the waves of mist.
Als wäre es eine Traumwelt, geht die Sonne hinter dünnen Wolkenschleiern über dem Pfälzer Wald auf. Zartes Morgenlicht schmiegt sich an die herbstlich verfärbten Bäume, die aus den Nebelnwellen herausragen.
The name of this orchid is: Mini Phalaenopsis
Suitable place for cultivation: A half shade place (indirect shade) is recommended, as direct exposure to the sun can cause burns on its leaves. So, the best time is the morning sun.
Watering: once a week; always letting the water drain well, because the excess of it in its roots can help to kill it (rotting). The orchid, in general, resists the lack of water well, more than the excess. For this reason, gravel is placed in its vessels, Styrofoam, to have this easy flow.
Never place dishes or anything that could block the water from flowing out of the pot.
Flowering: from one to three times a year, this will depend on the adaptation to the place where you will stay.
Pruning: it is recommended to cut the stem of the orchid. One tip is to cut above the second little one, so you preserve the plant. This makes all the difference to help it bloom again, as they say that this pruning helps the plant not to send nutrients to the place that is already "dead", thus failing to nourish other healthy parts.
Fertilization: The famous 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 = NPK formula (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), should be applied biweekly or monthly. The proportion of fertilizer must be as indicated on the label. It is usually 1 teaspoon of coffee for every liter of water.
In the autumn and winter months, fertilization can be suspended.
If you do not want to stay with your orchid in the plastic vase in which it comes, you can easily fix it to tree trunks, wrapping your roots with coconut fiber or moss and fixing with a resistant band.
Coloring: different colors: white, yellow, burgundy, lilac, baby pink, greenish, pink, streaks and orange.
L'industrie du thé sri lankais implique plus d'un million d'emplois directs et indirects. En 1995, elle est responsable de 215 338 emplois sur les plantations de thé26.
Au sein de l'industrie, on compte de nombreuses jeunes femmes, embauchées sur les plantations dès l'âge de douze ans. Aux débuts de l'industrie du café, la main-d'œuvre manque aux propriétaires28. Les Cingalais refusent de travailler sur les plantations : des Tamouls sont donc emmenés au Sri Lanka pour y travailler. L'immigration augmente avec les années, avec 55 000 immigrants tamouls dans le pays en 1855. À la fin de l'ère du café, on en compte environ 100 00028. En 1904, la Planter's Association of Ceylon établit la Commission du Travail de Ceylan, dirigée par le propriétaire Norman Rowsell, à Tiruchirappalli. L'objectif de la commission est d'acquérir une main-d'œuvre tamoule bon marché pour les plantations sri lankaises29.
Les femmes doivent s'occuper des corvées domestiques sur les plantations, et sont généralement recrutées par familles entières. Elles vivent dans des lines (« lignes »), des rangées de maisons mitoyennes à une ou deux pièces. L'hébergement et les accès aux soins et à l'hygiène sont généralement très mauvais dans le secteur. Dans une ligne, on compte généralement 6, 12 ou 24 maisons. Les pièces à vivre des employés sont souvent privées de fenêtres et de ventilation. Une dizaine de membres de la même famille vivent souvent dans la même pièce30. Plus récemment, des mouvements ont exigé des meilleures conditions d'hébergement et mené une légère amélioration, bien que ces conditions restent insalubres31. D'après des enquêtes de l'organisation Christian Aid, les femmes tamoules travaillant sur les plantations sont particulièrement vulnérables face aux discriminations et à la maltraitance32. En raison de ces observations, plus de 85 groupes de femmes sont fondés partout dans le pays : ils éduquent les travailleuses au féminisme, aux compétences techniques et à la prévention de la violence sexiste30.
La hiérarchie des plantations est très marquée. Les femmes, qui constituent 75 à 85 % de la masse salariale de l'industrie, sont le plus souvent la main-d'œuvre la moins qualifiée et la moins écoutée30. Les salaires sont souvent très bas : à Nuwara Eliya, en 2005, les femmes peuvent toucher 7INR par kilo de thé, pour 16 kg de thé cueillis par jour, soit un salaire minimal de 115INR, soit 1,4 euro par jour32. Les hommes sont plutôt embauchés pour couper des arbres ou utiliser des équipements mécaniques : leurs journées sont plus courtes et leurs salaires plus élevés32. En 2006, les travailleurs se soulèvent contre ces salaires trop bas. Les salaires sont augmentés, atteignant en moyenne 378 INR pour les hommes et 261 INR pour les femmes chaque jour. Cela n'enlève pas le problème de la pauvreté chez les employés non qualifiés et peu éduqués. Les plantations affichent un taux de pauvreté systématiquement supérieur à la moyenne nationale, et avec l'augmentation significative des revenus moyens sri lankais depuis 1990, la pauvreté se cantonne désormais aux zones rurales. On estime qu'environ 32 % des travailleurs des plantations sont sous le seuil de pauvreté en 2006, un chiffre plus haut que celui de 200233.

If you want to climb the top-rock in the Coyote Buttes North, there are two routes. The fastest, but not necessarily the easiest route steeply uphill behind the Second Wave. There is no mark, you have to find your way.

A little adventure is the visit of the "Golden Cathedral" in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
After a long hike from the trailhead into the valley of the Escalante River you have to
1. find the sand dune on which you descend to the valley of the Escalante,
2. find a passage in the labyrinthine scrub to the shore,
3. cross the icy river with about 1/2 m water depth and
4. walk the neon canyon with its towering cliffs to its end.
But it's worth it, especially in the sunshine in the late morning, when indirect light makes the walls glow in beautiful colors.
Ein kleines Abenteuer ist der Besuch der "Goldenen Kathedrale" im Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
Nach einer längeren Wanderung vom Trailhead ins Tal des Escalante River muß man
1. die Sanddüne finden, auf der man abwärts ins Tal des Escalante gelangt,
2. einen Durchgang im labyrinthartigen Gestrüpp zum Ufer finden,
3. den eiskalten Fluß mit ca. 1/2 m Wassertiefe überqueren und
4. den Neon Canyon mit seinen steil aufragenden Felsen bis zu dessen Ende durchwandern.
Aber es lohnt sich, besonders bei Sonnenschein am Vormittag, wenn indirektes Licht die Wände in herrlichen Farben leuchten läßt.

My Christmas Cactus Red does well in bright and indirect light. These cheery wintertime flowers brighten up indoor spaces and look beautiful when placed in a brightly colored pot. The flowers have brightly colored downward-facing petals. Christmas cactus comes in a variety of different colors including, yellow, red, white, pink, salmon, and bi-color.
Christmas Cactus Red will adapt to low light conditions, but the plant will produce blooms more readily if exposed to bright light. The flowers are bright red and appear prolifically when in these conditions and when exposed to room temperatures, anywhere between 65 - 75 degrees F.
The plants do like to stay on the dryer side. Christmas Cactus Red looks amazing during the holiday season adding the traditional red color with the foliage a bright green. The Christmas Cactus Red is also a cute gift for a hostess when attending a party or gathering. They are a great addition to any household because they are easy to take care of and add a touch of color.
Light Requirement of Red Christmas Cactus:
The best place for your Christmas cactus to flourish is indoors. Christmas Cactus Red does best with bright indirect to bright direct light. Eastern exposure is ideal, a western window with a curtain works as long as the plant does not receive too much direct light.

Protect them from cold drafts and extreme temperatures, 65-75 degrees F is recommended.
Watering Red Christmas Cactus:
Water weekly. Remove plants from any decorative foil wrappers if necessary. Place the pot with drainage holes in the sink so it will be able to drain.

Once all flowers are gone withhold water for up to 6 weeks. Begin watering again when new growth appears.
