No light, but rather darkness visible
Can you identify the albums that the images of Tintin and his friends illustrate? If you know, please comment on this photo.
The first row includes 2 of Tintin and 3 of Snowy, his dog. The second row includes 3 of Tintin and 2 of Captain Haddock.
A lightless, former limestone quarry with with art-based multimedia shows, projecting images on the quarry walls set to music. This show features the illustrated albums of Tintin, the young Belgian detective/journaliist.
After a grey lightless day, after sunset, suddenly colour appeared in the clouds. No tripod or time to plan a composition, just had to capture the pinks in the sky over the lush green Tyne Valley
“Feeling at peace, however fragilely, made it easy to slip into the visionary end of the dark-sight. The rose shadows said that they loved the sun, but that they also loved the dark, where their roots grew through the lightless mystery of the earth. The roses said: You do not have to choose. ”
― Robin McKinley, Sunsh

From the depths of a lightless cosmos, the Darkstar Empress emerges — a sovereign born from the collapse of dying suns. Her sapphire skin is fractured with obsidian veins, each crack aglow with the molten essence of extinguished stars. Twin horns crown her head, entwined with a gothic diadem that clasps a pulsating crimson gem, its facets holding the echoes of ancient galaxies. Her eyes blaze like solar flares in the void, unblinking, eternal. Armored in blackened steel and adorned with blood-red crystals forged in the hearts of supernovae, she commands the silence between worlds. Embers drift through the air, remnants of realms reduced to ash beneath her reign, as she stands — the eternal flame in a universe of shadows.
For the continuous destruction and torture of humans when any of them manage to escape what's left of Earth and flee into the supposedly safe blackness of space.
This was an absolute pain to make a stand for. I don't know how I'll do it again at BrickCon.
(Also, I just found out there isn't a real Black Fantasy pool here. I only found two extremely tiny ones. Is this true, or am I missing it?)
darkness can’t perceive the light,
though lightlessness has chilled us numb,
and though its wings may cloud the skies,
the dark shall never overcome.
A photograph from November ... (Paris, novembre 2024)
It was a lightless November afternoon in Paris, as many afternoons are. The sky was low, the cloud cover thick and even. I took this photo in the late afternoon - early evening, from the Bir Hakeim bridge. When I was post-processing this photo, I felt like transforming the flat reality of the afternoon into a colorful image.
Within Italy, Matera came to be seen as just another out-of-the-way town in the impoverished south; among foreigners, it had a reputation as a picturesque troglodytic locale. But, as the world modernized, curiosity gave way to repulsion. It seemed grotesque for people to live in lightless dwellings alongside their animals.
In 1853, John Murray’s “Handbook for Travellers in Southern Italy” declared Matera “a dirty city” and noted that “its lower classes are said to be the most uncivilized in the whole province of Basilicata.” Its problems seemed intractable: poor sanitation, brutal work conditions, malaria. Yet the population continued to grow, reaching fifteen thousand by the early twentieth century. Half a dozen family members often crowded into a cave; residents used basins for toilets and burned the waste on the cliffs. Italy was falling behind the other nations of Europe, Basilicata was falling behind Italy, and Matera seemed to be last of all.
Fourth version of my self-moc Aegnor, Toa of Fire, Knight of the Realm.
A bit of backstory:
Aegnor was given a lightless Kanohi Avohkii by the God Martaku - the Artakha of my universe - as a matoran, along with a fire stone, which both contributed to transform him into a Toa.
Aegnor can control his elemental powers and use them as he likes. However, like all toas, he must recharge his power once he uses them.
His Lightless Kanohi Avohkii, instead of giving him light powers, increases his sense of morality and makes him less attracted or corruptible by the shadow leeches or shadow forces.
Like Takanuva, his Avohkii permits him to sense morality and the hearts of others. Yet, because of the lack of light in this mask, these secondary powers quickly developed and became the primary powers of the mask.
Now, Aegnor can activate his Kanohi to bring understanding to the hearts of others and sense their intentions. It can thus bring Aegnor to identify the nature of one's intentions as soon as he meets them.
It was this way Aegnor was able to defeat opponents who acted as agents of the light, when truly, they were motivated by greed, selfishness or destruction.
Somebody has written this word on the wall in a chamber of Arnstein Castle ruin right beside this black hole in the wall. Neither I was brave enough to put my hand into that completely lightless hole nor was it my workmate who was with me. Scary, indeed. :-)

Jemand hat dieses Wort direkt neben diesem Loch an die Wand in einer Kammer der Burgruine Arnstein geschrieben. Weder war ich mutig genug, um meine Hand in das komplett lichtlose Loch zu stecken noch war es meine Arbeitskollegin, die mit mir dort war. Angsteinflößend, in der Tat. :-)

Donde las hojas de pino se acumulan hasta formar una pequeña cueva casi sin luz en mitad de un día luminoso, ahí es donde puedo encontrarte. Quizá el búho más tímido de nuestra zona y uno de los menos conocidos, el búho chico ( Asio otus).
________________
Where the pine needles pile up to form a small, almost lightless cave in the middle of a bright day, that's where I can find you. Perhaps the most shy owl in our area and one of the least known, the long-eared owl (Asio otus).
~ Love is timeless, love is purity.
It is the lightless light, the rays of the sunrise dancing on the surface of the sea.
Love is you, and love is me.
It is the deepest knowing,
The serenity of being, the laughter of the earth,
The limitless breath of the wind, the wonder of potential,
The power of thought, the gift of life, the highest vibration,
The most profound awareness... the knower.
Life. Love. Infinite. within you. Now. Always. ~

I started the picture-trip on Sunday under the worst conditions possible. A Low crossed Germany this day bringing heavy rain showers and thunderstorms with. The circumstances looked really bad while I headed north to the Island Rügen joining two friends for a night along the coast. By the time I arrived it stopped raining so at least it was possible to take some pictures at the evening with view on the Island Hiddensee. Quite impressive cloud formations I think. Secretly I hoped the sun burst though or under the clouds to get that awesome light, but she didn´t – unfortunately. So I hope you can live with that almost lightless impression of that evening.

These days, I'm lucky if I come home with even a couple of photos worth keeping from any long walk, LOL. Just too grey and lightless. Bright red Rose hips always catch my eye, though, especially when seen against a backdrop of snow. Photographed at Beaverdam Flats four days ago. Proves that wrinkled skin can be attractive, ha, ha! It's snowing again, but only lightly - so far.
CANTO I
ONE night, when half my life behind me lay,
I wandered from the straight lost path afar.
Through the great dark was no releasing way;
Above that dark was no relieving star.
If yet that terrored night I think or say,
As death's cold hands its fears resuming are.
Gladly the dreads I felt, too dire to tell,
The hopeless, pathless, lightless hours forgot,
I turn my tale to that which next befell,
When the dawn opened, and the night was not.
The hollowed blackness of that waste, God wot,
Shrank, thinned, and ceased.
from Inferno, Dante Alighieri
Crew aboard the International Space Station took this photograph of the city lights of Naples and the Campania region of southern Italy. The Naples region is one of the brightest in the country; roughly three million people live in and around this metropolitan area.
The different colors of lights in the scene reflect some of the history of development in the area. The green lights are mercury vapor bulbs, an older variety that has been replaced in newer developments by orange sodium bulbs (yellow-orange). To the northeast, the lightless gaps between the homes and businesses are agricultural fields. The bright yellow-orange complex amidst the fields is the CIS emporium, the largest commercial retail facility in Europe. The large black circular area in the photo is Mount Vesuvius, the only active volcano on Europe’s mainland.

I get behind by mistake, and I won't catch up for almost a month. This feels like failing at the first hurdle, but I'm not willing to give up yet. I am lightless in the city, as I always say. I wander from place to place, wrapped in knits and heavy thoughts. The time between seeing Thomas stretches on - that's all I really remember from this week.

"—shored
by trees at its far ending,
as is the way in moral tales:
whether trees as trees actually,
for their shadow and what
inside of it
hides, threatens, calls to;
or as ever-wavering conscience,
cloaked now, and called Chorus;
or, between these, whatever
falls upon the rippling and measurable,
but none to measure it, thin
fabric of this stands for.
A kind of meadow, and then
trees—many, assembled, a wood
therefore. Through the wood
the worn
path, emblematic of Much
Trespass: Halt. Who goes there?
A kind of meadow, where it ends
begin trees, from whose twinning
of late light and the already underway
darkness you were expecting perhaps
the stag to step forward, to make
of its twelve-pointed antlers
the branching foreground to a backdrop
all branches;
or you wanted the usual
bird to break cover at that angle
at which wings catch entirely
what light’s left,
so that for once the bird isn’t miracle
at all, but the simplicity of patience
and a good hand assembling: first
the thin bones, now in careful
rows the feathers, like fretwork,
now the brush, for the laying-on
of sheen.... As is always the way,
you tell yourself, in
poems—Yes, always,
until you have gone there,
and gone there, “into the
field,” vowing Only until
there’s nothing more
I want—thinking it, wrongly,
a thing attainable, any real end
to wanting, and that it is close, and that
it is likely, how will you not
this time catch hold of it: flashing,
flesh at once
lit and lightless, a way
out, the one dappled way, back—"
Carl Phillips, “A Kind of Meadow” from Pastoral. Copyright © 2000 by Carl Phillips.
You can't drive that way !
Well you could back in 1990, when Penllyn was the main road out for buses from the Square on routes to the south and east, before the days when this road became the main bus terminus, and became one-way, inbound only, and thoroughly depressing and lightless, as a result of the multi-storey car park which now casts its shadow over the whole road.
In slightly happier times, one of KMP's former Crosville Nationals is setting off for its home village on the firm's commercial service 88.
I hadn’t gone to this Park for a very long time. Now that the State has lifted some restrictions, now we can enjoy these views again
These, my friends, are the exact photoshooting conditions that any landscape photographer could ask for ... Once you find them, you'd better be ready to make the most out of them !!!
A storm was imminent but not even a drop had reached the ground up to that moment ... Nature around Porto Lagos lagoon was gradually transforming itself into an environment of moving shades ... This was exactly what I wanted to capture (and maybe intensify a little) hence my rather "unorthodox" for the lightless circumstances camera settings ... In the middle of the synthesis two herons, propably a couple, were enjoying each other's company playing in front of Nature's strange looking yellowish surrounding colors ...
And I was feeling lucky because I happened to be at the exact place ... the exact time !!!
