Cycas revoluta, is a species of gymnosperm in the family Cycadaceae, native to southern Japan including the Ryukyu Islands. It is one of several species used for the production of sago, as well as an ornamental plant. The sago cycad, Cycas revoluta, is a slow-growing wild or ornamental plant. Its common names "sago palm" and "king sago palm" are misnomers as cycads are not palms. Processed starch known as sago is made from this and other cycads.
All parts of the plant are very toxic to animals.
So.............. HOW IS EVERYONE?! :D

I debated for a long time if this shot is a keeper, particularly because of the somewhat dull background. I thought about cropping it out, but then the shot loses depth. Eventually, the gorgeous colors won me over. I didn't have a tripod at the time, but was able to recover some sharpness in photoshop. This morning taught me the wisdom of having extra time at hand when going for a sunrise. We were staying just outside the park boundaries, and those of you who went there know that it's the smallest of national parks. So we never thought getting there in time would be an issue. As it happened, we missed the sign for sunset point and by the time we made a U turn and found it, the first lights had already appeared. Nonetheless, sunrise at Bryce is something I will never forget in my life.

Memorial weekend is ‘homecoming weekend’ for both of my cats. Teddy instantly captured our hearts when we met 10 years ago on the Saturday of the weekend at a local SPCA shelter. He was approximately 1 ½ years old, and needed to be neutered before the adoption could take place. Since it was a holiday weekend, we were told he’d be able to have his surgery on Tuesday. But Teddy’s signature serious look--combined with the fact that he was in the shelter for nearly two weeks--played on the staff, and apparently right after we left they took him in for surgery. We were surprised and happy when on that Monday we got the call to bring our new baby home. :-)
This vase is a pyxis: a flat circular box used by women to put away their makeups and jewelry. The lid is remarkable for its handle made with four plastic horses. The animals are modeled by hand and suggest a quadriga.
The choice of the horses is not trivial: it is a very old iconography suggesting the nobility and the wealth of the owner. So this box certainly belonged to a lady of the aristocracy.
This vase dates from the third phase of the geometric style, the Late Geometric period (760-700 BC). The rigorous organization of the decoration emphasizing its circular shape, and the disappearance of black varnished areas in favor of painted decorations, characterize and mark this pixys respect the vases of the Mean Geometric period (850-760 BC).
Hatched petals decorate the lid and the bottom of the vessel, emphasizing its circular shape. The main body is covered with a decorated frieze where the triglyphs alternate to the metopes decorated with deers, swastikas, rosettes, diamonds and checkered patterns.

Mount Buffalo National Park is located in the Australian Alps, around 350 kilometres north east of Melbourne. In November 1898, an area of 1,166 hectares was reserved on the Mount Buffalo plateau around the Eurobin Falls to form the Mount Buffalo National Park. This makes it one of the oldest national parks in Australia. In 1908 was expanded to 10,406 hectares, before being expanded again in 1980 to its current size. The park exists on a high elevation around the top of the mountain, and it has striking granite boulders, outcrops and rock formations which make the landscape look striking and in some places, almost alien. This is enhanced by many dead trees which were a result of a bushfire that tore through the Mount Buffalo National Park in late 2006 and early 2007. It features The Horn, Cathedral Mountain and Lake Catani amongst other beautiful places to see. The Horn is the highest accessible peak on Mount Buffalo and it offers wonderful views from the top. Lake Catani is a man made ornamental lake which is very tranquil and beautiful. A road into the Mount Buffalo National Park was opened in 1908, and so the alpine tourist trade began. Visitor accommodation was made available at the historic guest house, the Mount Buffalo Chalet, built in 1910, until January 2007. Parks Victoria and the Victorian Government undertook restoration work on the exterior and gardens of the Chalet in 2017 and 2018. The chalet overlooks large sheets of granite and has views of the Ovens Valley and Buckland Valley below. During the winter season, Mount Buffalo is a destination for cross-country skiing. There are a number of cross-country ski trails near the Cathedral, and toboggan runs at Dingo Dell and Cresta Valley, both of which are used by beginners. The Mount Buffalo National Park was added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2008, listing it as one of eleven sites that make up the Australian Alpine National Parks and Reserves.

DIORAMA CONSTRUCTION: Final Paint Exterior
Had to take each diorama outside to paint the outside. Decided on a dark hunter green for the exterior of Wonderland; however, the color did not match the outside of the spray can. If only there was more time...but we were leaving for convention the following day.
The image above is a 2000 X 1250 pixel scan from an original slide. Anything that is not from an original Kodachrome™ is noted as such, including later digital images and a limited number of scanned prints. The vast majority of Kodachrome™ shots were scanned during the period 2007-2014. As of 2022, there remains thousands of scanned, and unscanned images yet to go.
Early uploads were done in a 1024 X 683 pixel size. Since then, technology and software has improved, so I am beginning to re-upload in the much larger 2000 X 1250 pixel size, with the eventual goal of having only that format.
The images in the various galleries come mostly from my slide collection, gathered over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and others acquired over those years through trading, purchasing, and attending conventions.
This photostream was created in 2017 for the sole purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, and has had over 10 million image views (to 2022)

Winchester Science Centre is hosting The Observatory Artists Studios from January through to July 2015.
This project is being run through an external organisation called SPUD. The aim of the project is to create a sculptural installation that becomes an intervention, a space, a platform, a shelter, a look-out for a series of artist’s residencies to take place. The intervention has been designed through a competition that encourages collaborations between artists, architects and engineers and students.
Three different artists are working in the space before it moves to its next location at the South Dorset Ridgeway.
Winchester Science Centre (previously known as INTECH) is a hands-on, interactive, science and technology centre located in Morn Hill, just outside the city of Winchester in Hampshire, England. Opened in 2002 after major grants from amongst others the Millennium Commission, IBM, SEEDA and Hampshire County Council it replaced an existing facility in a more functional building in Winchester.
The centre houses over 100 activities, all of which link in with the National Curriculum for schools. During term time it is used mainly by local schools and days out, while at week ends and holidays it attracts a wider audience. The dome is now a state-of-the-art digital planetarium seating 176.
Winchester Science Centre offers a main exhibition area with the hands-on science exhibits. In addition Winchester Science Centre features a digital planetarium that offers a full-dome experience and a variety of live daily shows suitable both children and adults. The centre also offers school visits by their new mobile planetarium with shows that are both engaging and relevant to the curriculum.
The on-site education team offer a variety of tailored workshops for primary and secondary level students within the Winchester Science Centre classrooms and out-reach is also offered. Workshops include 'Data logging', 'Parts of a flower', 'Electrical Conductors' and 'Explore your universe' as well as many other options. Winchester Science Centre are also proud to offer workshops for CAD/CAM in partnership with Techsoft.
The one-site workshop team make and maintain the majority of the exhibits and also are contracted by other science centres and schools to make bespoke pieces, such as the recently designed 'Stem-Cell Volcano'.
Winchester Science Centre is the Contract Holder for STEMNET in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. As Contract Holder, the Science Centre brokers relationships with over 700 trained STEM Ambassadors each of whom volunteer their time for free to secondary schools in the area. The Science Centre also offers educational advice to teachers.
The "After Dark" and "Saturday Night at the Planetarium", Space and Science Lectures are a popular addition to the programme and are tailored towards adults.
As well as all of this Winchester Science Centre also runs Singles Events and the venue is available to hire for private or corporate functions.
The Science Centre also has an on-site cafe facility called "Chompers".

A shot of an old window in the old city of Lahore. This is an older shot. The window is closed shut and passers by have stuffed news papers mostly, in the bars of the window. The title is related cause the idea of closing the windows of your mind so no info or knowledge enters. Hence it is bliss. Another saying I was contemplating for this shot was, what you don't know wont hurt you.

Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida de Niemeyer Soares GCSE • ComIH (Rio de Janeiro, 15 de dezembro de 1907 — Rio de Janeiro, 5 de dezembro de 2012) foi o arquiteto brasileiro de nome mais influente na arquitetura moderna. Foi pioneiro na exploração das possibilidades construtivas e plásticas do concreto armado, e por esse motivo teve grande fama nacional e internacional desde a decada de 1940
Seus trabalhos mais conhecidos são os edifícios públicos que projetou para a cidade de Brasília, embora possua um grande corpo de trabalho desde sua graduação pela Escola Nacional de Belas Artes do Rio de Janeiro em 1934.
English
Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho (15 December 1907 – 5 December 2012), known as Oscar Niemeyer, was a Brazilian architect who is considered one of the key figures in the development of modern architecture. Niemeyer was best known for his design of civic buildings for Brasília, a planned city which became Brazil's capital in 1960, as well as his collaboration with other architects on the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. His exploration of the aesthetic possibilities of reinforced concrete was highly infuential on the architecture of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Both lauded and criticized for being a "sculptor of monuments", Niemeyer was praised for being a great artist and one of the greatest architects of his generation by his supporters. He claimed his architecture was strongly influenced by Le Corbusier, but in an interview, assured that this "didn't prevent [his] architecture from going in a different direction". Niemeyer was most famous for his use of abstract forms and curves that characterize most of his works, and wrote in his memoirs:
“I am not attracted to straight angles or to the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. I am attracted to free-flowing, sensual curves. The curves that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuousness of its rivers, in the waves of the ocean, and on the body of the beloved woman. Curves make up the entire Universe, the curved Universe of Einstein.”
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Niemeyer was schooled at the city's Escola Nacional de Belas Artes, and after graduating worked at his father's typography house, as well as as a draftsman for local architectural firms. In the 1930s, he interned with Lúcio Costa, with the pair collaborating on the design for the Palácio Gustavo Capanema in Rio de Janeiro. Niemeyer's first major project was the design of a series of buildings for Pampulha, a planned suburb north of Belo Horizonte. His work, especially on the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi, received critical acclaim, and drew Niemeyer international attention. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Niemeyer became one of Brazil's most prolific architects, designing a range of buildings both within the country and overseas. This included the design of the Edifício Copan (a large residential building in São Paulo), and a collaboration with Le Corbusier (and others) on the design of the United Nations Headquarters, which provoked invitations to teach at Yale University and the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
In 1956, Niemeyer was invited by Brazil's new president, Juscelino Kubitschek, to design the civic buildings for Brazil's new capital, which was to be built in the centre of the country, far from any existing cities. His designs for the National Congress of Brazil, the Cathedral of Brasília, the Cultural Complex of the Republic, the Palácio da Alvorada, the Palácio do Planalto, and the Supreme Federal Court, all completed by 1960, were largely experimental in nature, and were linked by common design elements. This work led to his appointment as inaugural head of architecture at the University of Brasília, as well as honorary membership of the American Institute of Architects. Due to his largely leftist ideology, and involvement with the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), Niemeyer left the country after the 1964 military coup, and subsequently opened an office in Paris. He returned to Brazil in 1985, and was awarded the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1988. A socialist and atheist from an early age, Niemeyer had spent time in both Cuba and the Soviet Union during his exile, and on his return served as the PCB's president from 1992 to 1996. Niemeyer continued working well into the early 21st century, notably designing the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum (1996) and the Novo Museu (2002). He died in Rio de Janeiro in December 2012, at the age of 104.

Water is life.
Water flows through Earth's veins.
Water is mysterious and dangerous.
Water transports us to the vast unknown.
Tower of water sliced by surfer's board.
Children fire water pistols,
and others dive into watery depths.
Hummingbirds fly through water sprinklers,
and robins bathe in water fountains.
Water darkens the sky.
Water whitens the cold, frozen ground.
White water rapids dump unexpecting people into the river.
Water washes away the land.
Water preserves a soldier's tomb.
Water saves a thirsty travler's life.
Waterfalls create rainbows.
People scream in excitement on water rides,
and laugh while throwing water balloons.
Water is within our very being.
Water is life.

Az önhipnózis, egyrészt mint egy természetes, mélyen ellazult tudatállapot, másrészt, mint egy rendkívül lecsendesült, fókuszált figyelmi állapot rengeteg jótékony hatással bír. Tovább is megyek. Az általános jótékony hatásokon túl, ez egy olyan tudatállapot, amely képessé tesz bennünket önmagunk és magunkon keresztül az egész életünk megváltoztatására. Ez a tudatállapot a lelki "svájci bicskánk", roppant sokoldalú eszköz. Hogy mennyire? Lássuk!
1. Stresszoldó
A stressz lelki, fizikai hatásait mindenki ismeri, a paletta széles; közéjük tartozik az ingerültség, rosszkedvűség, izomfeszültség, hasi panaszok, vérnyomás ingadozás, fokozott verejtékezés, kedélyhullámzás, memória romlása, koncentrálási zavarok és így tovább. Egyre inkább terjed az a nézet is, hogy nagyon sok betegség kialakulásában is jelentős szerepet játszik a stressz.
A Wikipédia szerint:
"Hosszabb ideig fennálló tartós stressz hatására kialakulhat
Tartósan rossz közérzet
Szorongás
Pánikrohamok, esetleg pánikbetegség
Depresszió, Ingerlékenység
Soványság, elhízás
Csökkent ellenálló képesség
Menstruáció megszűnése
Hajhullás"
Az önhipnózis egy olyan természetes, megváltozott tudatállapot, melynek során egy rendkívül mély fizikai, érzelmi és mentális ellazulást élünk meg. Ez a szent hármas teszi lehetővé azt, hogy a testünk fellélegezzen és gyors ütemben elkezdje magát regenerálni. Egy szóval: nagyon-nagyon egészséges!
Az önhipnózis elsajátításakor a gyakorlók megtanulják, hogyan tudják a testüket és elméjüket gyorsan és akaratlagosan ellazítani, illetve megtanulják felismerni és tudatosan ellazítani az esetleges belső feszültségeket.
Az önhipnózis pusztán ezért az egy tulajdonságáért is megérdemli a helyet a kedvenc szabadidős tevékenységek között.
2. Önbizalom növelő
Ezt leginkább azok az emberek emelik ki, akik korábban nagyon is hadilábon álltak az önbizalommal.
Az önhipnózis során megtanuljuk a tudatalattink erőforrásait felismerni és felhasználni. Minél többet gyakorlunk, annál biztosabban érezzük ezt az erőt, és annál könnyebben tudjuk azt irányítani, a fejlődésünkre, illetve a céljainkra fordítani.
Egy idő múlva már nem lesz számunkra kérdés, hogy egy nagyszerű segítségünk van a mindennapok gondjainak leküzdésére, és fokozatosan a gondokat megtanuljuk kihívásokként értelmezni, amikhez minden eszközünk megvan, hogy megoldjuk.
Fokozatosan letesszük azokat a káros hiedelmeinket, miszerint kicsik és erőtlenek vagyunk a körülményekkel szemben, hiszen a belső tudatunk megadja számunkra azt a bölcsességet, amivel tisztán kezdjük látni az életünket és szerepünket.
3. Érzelmi intelligencia, empatikus képesség növekedése
Egyre divatosabb kifejezés manapság az érzelmi intelligencia. Mit is takar?
"Az érzelmi intelligencia (EI) az intelligencia vagy a képességek azon fajtája, ami a saját és mások érzelmeinek érzékelésével, kezelésével és pozitív befolyásolásával kapcsolatos." /Wikipédia
Ez számunkra a mindennapi életben azt jelenti, hogy az önhipnózis gyakorlásával egyre inkább tudatában leszünk érzelmeinknek, és nem csak akkor amikor már kitörtek vagy bajt okoztak. Lépésről lépésre, egyre inkább felismerjük az érzelmek valódi, mélyebben fekvő okait.
Egyre könnyebben észrevesszük azt, hogyan rángatnak minket ezek az érzelmek és egyre könnyebben megértjük és elfogadjuk más emberek szempontjait. Ezáltal könnyebben és tudatosabban irányítjuk az érzelmileg telített helyzeteket.
4. Problémamegoldó képesség javulása
A problémamegoldó képesség javulása egyenes következménye az érzelmi intelligencia fejlődésének. Ebben az esetben nem rohanunk vadul bele érzelmeinktől elvakítva konfliktusokba, hiszen az nem a probléma megoldását segítené csupán a feszültségek levezetését. A feszültségek kisütésének a következménye, hogy a másik fél is feszült lesz és egyre inkább a saját érzései vezérlik, mintsem a probléma mindkét fél számára való megoldásának a vágya.
Ugyanakkor nem is fojtjuk magunkba az érzéseket a konfliktustól való félelmünkben, vagy a "béke kedvéért", hiszen az elfojtás rengeteg negatív energiát hoz létre, ami így vagy úgy, de kihat mind a saját egészségünkre, mind a környezetünkre.
A két rossz megoldás helyett egyre jobban tudatában leszünk annak, hogyan hozzuk létre ezeket a negatív érzéseket, mivel hozzuk létre magunkban a feszültséget és belső tudatunk segítségével azt is elsajátítjuk, hogy hogyan lehet ezeket az érzéseket időben feloldani, transzformálni. Így energiánkat átalakítjuk, hogy inkább segítsen a probléma megoldásában, ahelyett, hogy súlyosbítaná azt.
5. Kiegyensúlyozottság, belső nyugalom erősödése
Szintén "mellékhatása" a rendszeres önhipnózis gyakorlásnak, hogy egyre nyugodtabbá válunk a hétköznapokban.
Mivel érzelmeink egyre jobban tudatosulnak és egyre jobban megtanuljuk ezeket az érzelmi energiákat felismerni és pozitív érzelmekké alakítani, így nem halmozódnak fel bennünk a feszültségek.
A nehéz helyzeteket is egyre higgadtabban tudjuk kezelni, ami ismét csak visszahat ránk, hiszen a környezetünk is csillapodik a mi hatásunkra. Ez a hatás-ellenhatás elve.
6. Öröm, felszabadultság és egyéb pozitív érzések erősödése
Ez a személyes kedvencem. Az öröm és felszabadultság érzet természetes közegünkké válik. Ez nem jelenti azt, hogy örökké rózsaszín szemüvegben röpködünk a föld felett, egyszerűen csak annyit jelent, hogy egyre több apróságban megéljük az élet szépségét. Emellett ugyanilyen tisztán megéljük a szomorúságot vagy egyéb érzelmeket, amikor azoknak jön el az ideje, de nem ragadunk bennük, nem kötjük magunkat hozzájuk, mintha minden pozitív érzelem pusztán illúzió lenne.
Megéljük azt, hogy az életöröm természetes állapotunk. Ez az az állapot, amikor az élet minden mozzanata jelentőséggel bír, bármily csekélynek tűnjön is. Elkezdjük észrevenni, mennyi öröm és szépség vesz minket körül, mennyi csodának vagyunk részesei.
Megtanultuk, hogy természetesnek vegyük, mindazt, ami minket körül vesz. Természetes, hogy van kezünk, lábunk, szeretteink vagy nap és égbolt. Mintha mindez járna nekünk, így nem is fordítunk ezekre a dolgokra különösebb figyelmet.
Ha visszaemlékszünk a gyerekkorunkra, akkor talán felrémlik, milyen apróságok tudtak minket elvarázsolni, mennyi örömet rejtett a pocsolyában való ugrálás (amíg valamelyik kevésbé megértő szülő véget nem vetett a röpködésnek), a homokvár építés friss sárga homokból vagy egy szarvasbogár nézegetése. Ez volt az a tudatállapot, amikor a lehetőségek még ott hemzsegtek körülöttünk, bennünk. Ehhez a tudatállapothoz térünk vissza, csak ezúttal már több megértéssel (remélhetőleg), de semmivel sem kevesebb örömmel.
7. Életcélunk, a világlátásunk tisztul
Amíg érzelmeink és a tudatalattiba száműzött energiáink nincsenek rendbe téve, úgy csetlünk-botlunk az életben, mint egy telezsúfolt, teleszemetelt, sötét lakásban. Célunk homályos, nehezen kivehető, és időnként azt vesszük észre, hogy rossz irányba megyünk, ez a cél nem is a mienk, vagy ha a mienk is volt, mégsem lettünk boldogabbak tőle. Nem beszélve a keresgélés során összetört kis lábujjakról.
Amikor elkezdjük az önhipnózist rendszeresen gyakorolni és a belső tudatunkkal végre kapcsolatot felvenni, akkor az olyan, mintha elemlámpát gyújtanánk. Egyszerre ugyan csak egy kis részt világít be, de ahogy elkezdjük a szobákat apránként rendbe rakni, egyre nagyobb tér szabadul fel bennük önmagunk és a számunkra fontos emberek számára. Ezzel együtt egyre tisztábbá válnak valódi, belső lelki céljaink.
A lelki szobánk egyre világosabb és otthonosabb lesz, így válik életünk is egyre "otthonosabbá" önmagunk és szeretteink számára.
8. Az emberi kapcsolatok javulása
Az önhipnózis önmagunk megváltoztatásának egyik leghatékonyabb módja.
De mit is értünk önmagunk megváltoztatásán?
Belső önmagunk, lelkünk már most is tökéletes. Nem szorul változtatásra.
Ami változtatásra szorul az a viselkedésünk, szokásaink, berögzült hiedelmeink és ezáltal az energiánk. Az, ahogyan az energiánkat használjuk, torzítjuk és kisugározzuk. Ez kihat miránk és a környezetünkre is, és ez alapvetően meghatározza az emberi kapcsolatainkat.
Az önhipnózis során megtanuljuk, hogyan használjuk a saját energiánkat, hogyan merevítjük káros viselkedésmódokká, szokásokká majd jellemvonásokká.
"Én már csak ilyen vagyok." Ismerős? Kényelmes kifogás azért, hogy ne kelljen szembenézni önmagunkkal.
A tudatosítás azt jelenti, hogy megtanuljuk megkülönböztetni önmagunkat és azt a sok belső, tudatalatti programot, amely a mai személyiségünket alkotja. Egyre jobban megtanuljuk a saját káros programjainkat felismerni és átírni pozitív, hasznos módon.
Az emberek tudat alatt a viselkedésünkön, hozzáállásunkon és lényünkön keresztül kisugárzott energiára reagálnak.
"Jó kisugárzása van."
Ez nem más, mint valaki, aki nyitott, pozitív módon, használja az energiáját. A pozitív energia pedig vonzerővel bír, ezzel nem árultam el titkot.
9. Az önismeret rendkívüli mértékben megnő
Talán nem is kell ragozni, hogy egyenes következménye a belső énünkkel való munkának, hogy egyre többet tudunk meg magunkról.
Aki szereti magát abban a tévhitben ringatni, hogy már mindent tud önmagáról és már semmi újat nem lehet neki ezzel kapcsolatban mondani, annak sajnos azt kell mondanom, hogy igaz a közhely, ez egy végtelen út. Minél többet ismerünk meg önmagunkból, annál inkább rádöbbenünk arra, mennyi új megismerni való vár még ránk.
Ez ne riasszon meg senkit. Ez egy nagyon gyümölcsöző út, ami önmagunk felé vezet. Érdekes, izgalmas és gyönyörű, mint egy nagyon érdekesen megírt könyv. Tele van csavarokkal, és a kép egyre jobban kitágul, egyre több részlet mutatkozik meg. Lassanként rájövünk, hogy sokkal többek vagyunk, mint ahogy gondoltuk.
Ezzel együtt a felismeréssel együtt, érdekes módon, kialakul egy csodálattal vegyes alázat saját lényünk iránt. Minél inkább rálátunk, ráérzünk belső, isteni lényünkre, annál inkább felismerjük, milyen pici dobozba próbáltuk bepréselni téves elképzeléseinkkel. Tisztelni kezdjük önmagunkat a szó legnemesebb értelmében, mert meglátjuk a lélekben a végtelent.
10. Spirituális fejlődés
Ezzel el is érkeztünk ahhoz a ponthoz, ahova tudat alatt mindannyian törekszünk.
Önmagunkon, belső tudatunkon keresztül nyílik ki a kapu a belső, végtelen fény felé. Ahogy elkezdjük egyre jobban beengedni a fényt önmagunkba, megértjük, mennyi érzésünk pusztán annak a következménye volt, hogy elzártuk magunkat a saját belső fényünktől, amely a végtelen fény része.
A belső tudat fényében világossá válik, hogy a magány, az elhagyatottság, az elveszettség mind nem más, mint "hiánybetegség". A fény hiányának betegsége. Érezni fogjuk, hogy ezt a fényt nem vette el tőlünk senki, nem vonta meg tőlünk senki, senki nem taszított minket a sötétségbe, hanem mi zártuk ki magunkból a belső energiáinkat. Burokként összezárultunk magunk körül, kizárva a fényt és a sötétben megéltük a fény hiányát, mint végtelen magányt és elhagyatottságot.
Belső tudatunk segít megérteni a fontos összefüggéseket az életünkben. A látszólag kívülről ránk szakadt körülmények törvényszerűségeit. Természetesen mindezt lépésről lépésre tanuljuk meg, mindenki a saját ütemében, a saját módján, a saját fejlődési szintjén. Sürgetni nincs értelme. A belső tudat mindent a mi képességeinkhez mér.
Ugyanakkor biztosak lehetünk benne, hogy ez a tanulás mindannyiunknak nagyon sok hasznot hoz.
Annyi haszontalan dolgot megtanultunk életünkben, ideje végre életünk legfontosabb leckéinek nekilátnunk.
És +1: Az önhipnózis roppant kellemes!
Az ellazulás, illetve az érzelmek feloldása, felszabadítása egyre kellemesebb élménnyé teszi az önhipnózist.
Javaslom napi rendszerességgel végezni (ismerem a kifogásokat, de gondoljunk arra, hogy a számunkra igazán fontos dolgokra mégis szoktunk tudni időt szakítani!), egy idő múlva már kifejezetten igényelni fogjuk!

But everything is not under one's control, which is why I would have preferred it if this red Parcel Force van had not passed at the critical moment, partially obscuring the Maiden's Head pub on the left. And, in any case, I'd missed catching the front of the train.
Class 375 electric multiple unit No. 375809 crosses Wincheap after calling at Canterbury East station with 1P32, the 10:05 Dover Priory and Ramsgate to London Victoria service on Sunday 19th November 2017.
Wincheap is a major route into Canterbury from the south-west. Just beyond the bridge the road continues on a straight line into the core of the medieval city, becoming Castle Street on the way, although today that straight line is interrupted by a roundabout where it intersects with the post-war ring road.
.... Beautiful but the allergies are UGLY. Jasmine, Lilac, Cherry Blossom, Gardenia, everything is making me sneeze. I'm so weary of my itchy eyes, ears and runny nose :(
The only thing that brings comfort is freshly grated ginger kehwa :)
Explored :)
Wearing fabulous shoes (even only for the moment).... or able to find ways to "laugh" even when you feel like crying...
And I want to add... is getting hugs especially when they are so genuine and coming from the heart... is smiles of children who see you like if you are the most fascinating thing.... getting gifts that are so unexpected (like my colleague who gave me a beautiful pair of heels just because...................... xx)
Here I was trying to do something really silly (but I will not devour on details.. haha).... I am wearing one of my all time favorite heels....
For those of "wonderful" you, who read everything I write (thank you... xx) I am almost back to my usual exercise regimes.. ie I am running, walking, stepping, yoga, and recently I just picked up hill climbing... its really great for toning and stream-lining legs..... see for yourself :) :) :)
It's been a long time since I did any abandoned exploration. I had almost convinced myself I was no longer interested, and then I drove by this place. This scene is exactly as I found it sans the texture and color enhancements. I love finding these fragments of peoples former lives. The muse of places forgotten is fully awakened.
Haltwhistle is a market town and civil parish in Northumberland, England, 23 miles (37 kilometres) east of Carlisle and 37 miles (60 kilometres) west of Newcastle upon Tyne. It had a population of 3,811 at the 2011 Census.
Haltwhistle is the closest community to Hadrian's Wall and to Northumberland National Park, both approximately 2 miles (3 kilometres) distant.
Haltwhistle was probably in existence in Roman times, as it is one of the closest approaches of the River South Tyne in its upland reaches to Hadrian's Wall. The old Roman road known as the Stanegate, which is thought to predate Hadrian’s Wall by some forty years or so, passes just two miles (three kilometres) to the north of the town.
The town web site summarizes an important part of the history (late Middle Ages) of the community as: "for many centuries, the constant marauding of English and Scots caused turmoil in Haltwhistle and throughout the Borders". In 1598, "the infamous Armstrongs of Liddesdale fired and plundered Haltwhistle". Another important raid on Haltwhistle was made in 1601 by the Scots "who carried away prisoners and all their goods"; they were later reclaimed by a raid on Liddesdale. Scots, particularly the Armstrongs, later returned and burned many houses; that led to "years of feuds between the Armstrongs and the Ridley's of Haltwhistle".
Celia Fiennes did not entirely enjoy her visit in the 1690s:
"This Hartwhistle is a Little town, there was one Inn but they had noe hay nor would get none, and when my servants had got some Else where they were angry and would not Entertaine me, so I was forced to take up in a poor Cottage wch was open to ye Thatch and no partitions but hurdles plaistered. Indeed ye Loft as they Called it wch was over the other roomes was shelter'd but wth a hurdle; here I was fforced to take up my abode and ye Landlady brought me out her best sheetes wch serv'd to secure my own sheetes from her dirty blanckets, and Indeed I had her fine sheete to spread over ye top of the Clothes; but noe sleepe Could I get, they burning turff and their Chimneys are sort of fflews or open tunnills, yt ye smoake does annoy the roomes. This is but 12 miles [19 km] from another part of Scotland, the houses are but a Little better built, its true the inside of them are kept a Little better."
Dorothy, Lady Capell, endowed a school in Haltwhistle in her will of 1721.
The development of the town benefited from its location on the main Newcastle to Carlisle road and on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway line.
The expansion of Haltwhistle in the 18th and 19th centuries was due to coal mining in the area and to a lesser extent the use of Haltwhistle as a loading point for metal ores coming from the mines on Alston Moor to the south. In 1836 while some workmen were quarrying stone for the Directors of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, on the top of Barcombe, a high hill in the township of Thorngrafton and Parish of Haltwhistle, one of them found a copper vessel containing 63 coins, 3 of them gold and 60 copper. The gold coins were, one of Claudius Caesar, reverse Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus; one of Nero and one of Vespasian. The find is known as the Thorngrafton Hoard and the empty arm-purse can still be seen in the museum at Chesters Fort.
More recently, paint manufacture became a major commercial force in the town, but has now stopped major production. Current local employers include factories making plastic bottles and de-icing products.
In the 21st century, the tourist industry dominates the economy with Hadrian's Wall and walking and rambling counting among the principal interests of tourists. The Town web site summarizes the appeal of the area which is "within easy reach of Newcastle and Carlisle".
Skirted by the Northumberland National Park and the North Pennines range, Haltwhistle is ideal for activity and family holidays, walking, cycling, fishing and climbing. Close to where the North & South Tyne's meet, with many pretty villages dotted along both river valleys...
And so is our vacation. California was great. Still there, where we left it. Weather on the coast was crappy, as it always is in the summer. We ate more than we should have, saw more people that time made appear feasible and had the best time seeing Sara enjoy every place we took her.
We will be back!
P.S. Who said nothing good comes out of jet-lag? I can finally process and upload in peace, the whole house quiet and to myself!
