Metéora (suspended rocks), is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos. The six monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. The nearest town is Kalambaka. Metéora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Unmissable when in Greece!

a part of my next upcoming project (named isolation). Main aspect is the metonymy of certain objects in landscapes.
You really have to view it on black and please check out my updated 500px site and a nice new year everyone!
A new electrical isolation point at station Buchs SG. These short disconnections with tension and pressure isolators are used in railway stations where there is little space. This type is for speeds up to 160 km/h. The distance between the spark horns is 120 mm (15 kV). In contrast to the protective sections, these points can be passed under load. A spark can then be seen. There are other designs on the routes where the contact wires are led in parallel. Switzerland, May 9, 2020.

After a long time, I decided to "return" to Xenia Hotel (Mt. Parnitha) for one more photographic shooting.
Although I've been there a couple of times in the past, it still gives me a strange feeling when I walk inside the long-end corridors and the "strange" isolation rooms...
And just there aren't any words to describe the feeling when you go down to the nearly pitch-black basement...

得獎感言:
在攝影的過程中,經常會碰到一些瓶頸,無法量產一些自己認為好的作品,希望藉由比賽來稍微肯定一下自我。
“攝影”的好處在於訓練我更敏銳地觀察週遭人事物,能看到別人所看不到的東西,即為樂趣之所在。

Winner’s Speech:
There must be some difficulties in the process of photography, so I want to break through these difficulties. I have now re-gained self-confidence by participating this photography contest.
What I’ve learned from photography is that I can observe things and people more penetratingly and perceive things that others may ignore, and that’s fun!
To say that this trip was a once in a lifetime experience is kinda silly. Sure, I am grateful as hell that I was asked to be part of this incredible team for this event, but I just barely got a taste of this wonderful country. I am positive I will be back. There is so much to explore. Even though I barely scratched the surface, I have so many images to sort thru (over 50 gig actually). Those HDR's take up some space!
Yeah, I'll be back for sure. Next time, it'll be a complete loop about the island. Glacier Bay, Puffins, Fiords, ..... man, there's a list a mile long.
Its a bit late, so thats about it for now. More posts to follow for sure. I met a lot of great folks, was challenged quite a bit, learned a few things, and got to do a lot of thinking about some big decisions I have to make. All in all, a pretty heavy week....
On a completely different note....
I just finished dumping some memory cards while cleaning up the hotel room here and kinda packing up. Geeez, how is it I now travel with 2 fully packed bags and 2 carry ons for a 1 week trip!? A far cry from the ONE bag I used to drag about Europe a few years ago for 6 to 8 weeks at a clip! Guess this camera gear is kinda outta control.....
All right, nuff for now. Thanks for listening :)

Cause My Emotions Arn't Steel
Being Alone
Always Feels Fine
My Isolated Home
No Limit To Time
I'm Isolated
A One Man Parade
My Mind Won't Be Infultrated
I Won't Loose My Cherade
Hiding In My Shell
I Open Up To None
The Walls Once Fell
I Could Do Nothing But Run
Life's A Masqurade
We're All A Fake
Be Real And You Fade
So Pretend For Your Sake
Being Crowded
Is Suffocating
Being Surrounded
Is Just Frustrating
They Talk To Me

Her flesh quivers... she pauses alone momentarily, gasping to find the inner strength to fight the crushing pain. Beauty is suffering.
I'm continuing a series I started on Insta where I've been sharing my own personal struggles with Isolation and lack of access to quality medical care.
Once again I have a new medical team and once again this means my referrals are no longer available to me because once again it's been suggested that I also change medical insurance.
There's a big part of me that feels like I've once again allowed people to influence me into making bad choices for my overall health, wellbeing and existence.
I say this because I was scan away from starting chemotherapy that I've not had access to for well over a year. While the cancer is fully treatable and curable, it was stage three when it was finally diagnosed properly. I went nearly two years being told it was nothing, then to being told it was fat pockets or dislodged fat. That's not a thing. Fat doesn't just hang out in the body. it could become blood clots resulting in death. Lipodystrophy was once a common side effect of first generation drugs to treat what was once called "the gay cancer" or "GRID" Gay Retro Immune Disease. However today's medications is far more advanced and things like this are very very rare. She telling me it was this as well was simply incorrect. When the blood test cane back normal for cancer, I was ordered to forget it and let it go. March 10, 2021, two years after feeling the lumps grown larger and larger in my neck, under my arms and other areas and after two hospital stays and an AIDS diagnosis that came on February 3, 2021, after 12 years of controlled undetected HIV, but 41 days without access to the one pill I took daily only missing when I couldn't get them prescribed. It was like a 1 to 2 punch right to my face.
Friends who started this journey with me, went with me to every single medical appointment and saw what was happening are pretty much no longer available. Isolating me even more and left with feelings of my decline becoming too much for them and the burden of my being so sick, not with mental illness issues which have affected all of them, but my best friend the most, no work, bills mounting, eating cat and dog food and at times from garbage bins just so not to feel like this massive burden to them or this huge failure to myself.
I'm also not fighting for housing and thought of homelessness in my state creates more mental stress, anxiety, panic attacks. I no longer feel safe expressing how I feel or what I am dealing with 24 hours a day 7 days a week with no breaks. To know that threats of homelessness come from the very places I must turn to for support who hold my housing in their hands and can end it at anytime is very crippling.
It's come to my attention that the people I love, the people I consider my friends, the people I've trusted are saying things that have worked and are working against me completely devastates me.
from one pill a day and occasionally having to take a pain medication to help me control Sickle Cell is now these pills in the pictures.
1 pill twice a day
1 pill once a day
1 pill four times a day
1 pill 3 times a day
3 pills once a day
1 5ml dose every 6 hours
I have to set alarms in order not to forget.
I still have no idea if the cancer has spread any further. I've not had my colonoscopy
All of these pills come with hefty side effects, including heart and breathing problems, drastic mood swings, skin problems, brain issues, drowsiness, irritability, inability to function and death.
I must monitor my blood pressure and oxygen constantly.
I was already struggling to hold me camera and tonight I couldn't hold it still with a 50mm lens. I had to place it on a tripod.
95% of the time I am alone. My friend Andrew comes by on Sundays to take me and the dogs to Santa Monica, my hometown. Besides doctors appointments this is my only outing. He is the only contact I have with a human being in person. Imagine what this feels like.
This is my life........fading away

Justice League Watchtower, 4 hours ago.
The room fell quite for no less than a second, I stood across from Bruce, seeing the anger in his eyes from Diana's soon to come rampage.
WW: You cannot be serious Bruce!
B: He deserves to be here. He has passed each and every test I've thrown at him, even better than Dick did many years ago.
GA: Diana has a point, there is something off about this one Bruce.
B:Off? Of course he would be off! He witnessed his father's death, and that scars you permanently, I should know.
WW: Yet still, he seems more dark and damaged than you, or Dick.
NW: Everyone copes with tragedies differently, some could recover in a month, some could go insane. Bruce is right. He deserves to be here.
A: We must take heed. Diana isn't the villain here, she is trying to do what is best for the League.
WW: And let's not forget what happened to Damian and Jason.....
I'm in a voluntary isolation from the physical world until November 10th, when I hope to finish my final paper to graduate in university. This is why I'm quite inactive in my posts. But, be sure, I'm seeing your pictures whenever I can!
Hugs and Peace for you!
Pic by my bro,
PS by me.
Estou em um isolamento voluntário do mundo físico até 10 de Novemtro, quando eu esperto ter acabo meu trabalho final para poder obter a graduação na universidade. Por isso estou meio inativo nos meus posts. Mas, estejam certos, estou vendo suas fotos sempre que posso!
Abraços e Paz!
Former Essex County Isolation Hospital
completed 1931
Belleville, New Jersey
I visited this mysterious old building while conducting a facilities survey on behalf of the former tenant, the Garden State Cancer Center. As I understand it, Dr. David Goldenberg's experimental treatment, using human and animal subjects, involved radioactive (or more correctly "radiolabeled") drugs that directly interact with cancer cells, for the purpose of their detection and treatment. The center has since vacated the premises.
This property has been an attraction for urban explorers for quite some time. During my walk through the building, it seemed almost as spooky as this visual treatment suggests. If you do sneak in, understand there's a chance you'll end up in handcuffs, and that radioactive materials have been, and may currently be stored here.
I want to live all alone in the desert
I want to be like Georgia O'Keefe
I want to live on the Upper East Side
And never go down in the street
Splendid Isolation
I don't need no one
Splendid Isolation
Michael Jackson in Disneyland
Don't have to share it with nobody else
Lock the gates. Goofy, take my hand
And lead me through the World of Self
Splendid Isolation
I don't need no one
Splendid Isolation
Don't want to wake up with no one beside me
Don't want to take up with nobody new
Don't want nobody coming by without calling first
Don't want nothing to do with you
I'm putting tinfoil up on the windows
Lying down in the dark to dream
I don't want to see their faces
I don't want to hear them scream
Splendid Isolation
I don't need no one
Splendid Isolation
Splendid Isolation
I don't need no one
Splendid Isolation
