The lifestyle of the orthodox monks includes various forms of ascetism. They limit as much as possible the mental and physical pleasures and transcend in one's physical limitations.
In this way they try to remove the obstacles to greater spritual growth.
One of these forms is achieved by isolating oneself from the outside world by living incells.

Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past.

After a year of hardship on gardening, finally I have some decent photos to share from my garden. Sigh, my arms are still in pain due to the "over-work" on the garden.
Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.
The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.

Here's to fresh starts and I have always found New Year's Resolutions a little bit cliché and yet I still always make them and most of the time keep them. Some of my previous NY's resolutions included giving up my car and bicycling all year 'round (I did this about 11 years ago), becoming vegan (8 years or so ago), and reading a book a day (I read 366 books in 2019 and have read at least 200 books every year since then).
My biggest NY resolution this year is to follow up on some medical stuff. Ever since I had Covid my heart arrhythmias have increased. These run in my family unfortunately and my dad has to take medication for them. I went to two cardiologists in 2001 to get this checked out and they said I had a Mitral Valve Prolapse but that my heart rate was also too low to put me on meds because lowering one's heart rate is what the meds would do and it would be too dangerous. I imagine maybe there has been some advances in 21 years so I suppose I should follow up now that it is happening more frequently. I had really bad luck going to see doctors with my old health insurance and was charged a $600 copay for even an office visit to a specialist and was told this was because the doctor was associated with a hospital (Which is basically every doctor) which meant I was charged a hospital fee even though I never went to the hospital. I switched health insurance so maybe that will make a difference. This is a very crooked industry in America that profits off of peoples' suffering without any regulation. We really need socialized medicine and our taxes are just continually misspent on other things that don't benefit us at all or very little.
I also feel like I need to talk to a psychiatrist or psychologist. I had a hard time getting them to take my previous health insurance so maybe this will also work out better. I've met with psychologists at three different points in my life and it's been about 5 or 6 years since I have been to see one as my previous one moved away. Having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder means that I take 4,000+ photos every day of a festival and/or every day I am on vacation but it also means that I am always stressing out about or ruminating over conversations and things of that nature. I've had a few coworkers with family members who have died around my age and that has cause a lot of anxiety. I know this is normal but I want to still be able to function fully. I also isolate myself and want to work on becoming better friends with at least 2 other photographers in Chicago this year. Many of my favorite friends live pretty far away so I don't see them regularly and I think there is something beneficial about spending time with other creative people. The pandemic and my anxieties about how safe other people are definitely put a strain on me being social, especially when the weather isn't great but I'm going to try.
There's some minor things too..I want to only eat when I am hungry vs. snacking. I want to try to be more open and say yes to doing more things even if I feel like I'd rather be alone doing art. I want to write a few short stories this year that I've been thinking about ideas for. I am deleting my Twitter account after being a regular Twitter user for 15 years because I cannot stand Elon Musk. I'm going to continue to be a political advocate but I want to challenge myself to also be more creative at work, to be more patient throughout every day and appreciate more of the smaller moments in between larger ones, and to get better at talking and taking care of my plants as well.
If you read all that, thanks and hope that you are also having a nice New Year and are thinking of your intentions for 2023 and ways you feel you can be your best self or add to this strange universe we call home.

Look up! I think it was the "Warning of Death" signs that made me look up at the isolators at the Strontian electricity sub-station. It was the colour of them that really attracted me, but not enough to touch them. If only they glowed at night they would look even better.

En premier plan, une femme seule est captivée par une conversation téléphonique. Sa posture montre une certaine tension dans son corps, peut-être une conversation importante ou émotionnelle.
En arrière-plan, une autre femme est assise sur un banc, de dos, regardant dans une direction opposée. Sa présence discrète accentue le sentiment de solitude et de distance. Le banc semble à la fois être un refuge pour la femme assise et une barrière symbolique entre les deux protagonistes de la photo.
J’ai essayé de donner un aperçu de la vie quotidienne, du passage du temps et des émotions qui parcourent les personnes dans cet environnement serein mais parfois isolant.
In the foreground, a lone woman is captivated by a telephone conversation. Her posture shows some tension in her body, perhaps an important or emotional conversation.
In the background, another woman is seated on a bench, from behind, looking in the opposite direction. Its discreet presence accentuates the feeling of loneliness and distance. The bench seems both to be a refuge for the seated woman and a symbolic barrier between the two protagonists of the photo.
I tried to give an insight into daily life, the passage of time and the emotions that run through people in this serene but sometimes isolating environment.
Tulips are such a delicate flower, so beautiful but fleeting.
A friend invited me round to her delightful garden, bursting with so many different varieties.
Getting in close to isolate the detail in the stigma, pistols and stamens revealed such intricate detail.
These are difficult times. I feel like we are in a bad movie and I can't wait for it to end.
My heart goes out to those who are affected in some way and suffering from this Corona virus. At the time that I post this, most people are affected in some way.
I am self isolating with the hope that sometime in the near future the world can return to a semblance of what it was a few months ago.
Stay safe everyone.
Branching out a little, I really wanted to take advantage of how the season right now can really isolate a subject.

A pocket of yellow flowers covering a small section of the churchyard of Mary the Virgin, Kensworth, Bedfordshire. It is currently about 11 degrees centigrades, and some bees are around. Certainly, Winter is not over yet. However, behind the lines, Spring is already preparing.
Looking Close on Friday!: tea
If you need to self isolate, you might as well relax and enjoy it.
My husband tested positive for Covid. :( As of now my kids and I are negative and hoping to keep it that way. Thankfully, we are all double vaccinated - no booster yet for any of us, but they are booked. Right now his symptoms seem mild enough (he said it feels like any other head cold he gets). I have a sore throat every once in a while but I swallow a ton of vitamins and have a tea, which helps, and taking it easy like taking photos and sharing them on Flickr. :) My grandma's old tea cup and saucer came in handy for todays shot. :) Anyways, I hope you are all doing well. Thanks so much for your visit. Stay safe and healthy everyone. HLCoF!
