The short life of mushrooms contrasts with the longevity of century-old beech trees. The morning sun filters through the golden leaves and ferns resulting in a fairytale background (forest fairies, of course).
La corta vida de las setas contrasta con la longevidad de las hayas centenarias. El sol de la mañana se filtra a través de las hojas doradas y de los helechos dando como resultado un fondo de cuento de hadas (hadas del bosque, claro)
Deuteronomy 4:40 “Keep His statutes and commandments that I am setting forth today so that it may go well with you and your descendants and that you may enjoy longevity in the land that the LORD your God is about to give you as a permanent possession.”
Leviticus 26:18 “And if in spite of this you will not listen to me, then I will discipline you again sevenfold for your sins.”

There's this new thing: longevity. And ice bathing is one of the hottest trends in that respect. It is supposed to boost our resilience, strength, clarity of mind, and more. Ice bathing does it all. Or does it really? I'm not sure, because I've never tried it. But this little guy has, a few times since last night, and look how happy it has made him. Maybe, just maybe, he has taken things a little too far, but he keeps assuring me that he feels gorgeous. "Put me back into the freezer, it's much too warm in your place!" So I did.
Well, there are century-old traditions like the Finnish sauna or other bathing traditions that combine hot and cold treatments, so there probably is something to ice bathing. Maybe I will dig deeper into the issue once Mr. Bones is defrosted so he can tell me all about it. Maybe I will also defrost him in warm water to give him the full experience, because before I put him in the ice bath and froze him, he never complained about it "being too warm" in my place. We'll see.
I seriously had no idea what to put into water to freeze. Actually, I could have put anything into the ice cube mould, and then simply taken a decent photo of it, but, as usual, this freedom of choice blocked me out. Until I found Mr. Bones while searching for the skull mould I had already used for another ice theme. The ice cube mould was just a little too small for this mini Lego figure, so I put him in an egg holder that also made a nice round ice cube shape.
I did focus stacking (in camera, 15 images, combined in Helicon Focus, method A, R8, S4). For the green light, I placed the green bottle in front of one of the LED lamps and put a silvery "reflector" (cardboard) on the opposite side of that lamp. To make the ice glow, I used two LED flashlights, set on spot, one placed behind the ice cube, and the other placed in front of it. The fourth light source was my natural light photo lamp from above.
HMM, Everyone!
There is now 10 cm's of fresh snow here at Keefer Lake. The temperatures are predicted to hover around zero in the coming week and only getting colder thereafter ... so ... it is official ... winter has arrived. I love all of our seasons (including winter) however, winter is the longest season by far (the ice forms on the lake in November and isn't gone until May). Thank goodness for Portugal! :)

I found this shot in Canary Wharf in London. Its a shot of two busses looking down towards One Canada Square the tallest building in Canary Wharf.
The Mountain Ash trees in the Dandenong Ranges and other trees are often many years old. The sunset and the wind are fleeting but also occur regularly over many thousands of years. Together they provide both the constancy of hope and growth, as well as the fleetingness of change and renewal. The ability to grow through change whilst staying very much the same.
This is a composite of two photos taken one evening drive to a look out at Mount Dandenong.
VIA 63 has an intriguing never-before-seen consist in revenue service in the form of F40PH-2D no. 6413 leading a standard 5-car Siemens Venture set; SCV-42 included as they motor through Scarborough Jct. approaching their final destination of Toronto. Apparently, in recent times some of the Siemens sets experienced HEP failures enroute and were delayed multiple hours as a result, so the solution to improve reliability was adding an F40 on point providing motive, but more importantly HEP to the Venture set. It's exciting but also disappointing to see how the new equipment handles Canadian winters, raising questions about the reliability and longevity of these new trainsets, meanwhile a locomotive over 40 years old is still trucking along and handling the conditions with no issue.
Near the mountains of north Guangxi is the township of Bama (Panyang River). It is known for the high number of people aged over one hundred years of age.
This etching is from the surface of one of a pair of cold saki glasses that was gifted to me during a visit tp Japan in 2001. I am told that the rabbit symbolizes longevity and prosperity. The glasses are 3.5 inches tall and 3 in diameter. Etched are is 62 x 47 mm.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Longevity. There are some Oak Trees in California that live as long as 300-400 years. I'm not sure how old these are, but I think they have been here for a long time. They are dormant for the Winter now. Last night's sunset shows off their silhouettes. HMMM!
It's just a day,
but a very special day
living to tell
a simple way to excell,
your light is proof enough
of life's essential stuff
every glare and beam;
the shadow of the deeper dream
glimmering shades and shapes
of this day that never escapes
attention and importance
for time is life's own heritance
and all we miss so deeply,
may be reached so simply
ordinally, the virtue of patience
respiration and the gift of sentience
offer hope upon time unto each and all
for the taking, simplicity to recall
hail longevity, a timeless talent indeed
redeeming our features in need
we welcome reminders to precede
a tulle touch of the life we wish to lead
instinct being your first feeling of living
and isn't it beautiful, worthy of our thanksgiving
venerate your soul and project yourself
unto every new day with love in itself
sparking the anniversary of every one of us
we all deserve a celebration of hope to profess!
Love your life, love this day, love one another!!

... at the Yiheyuan (颐和园, ie. the Garden for Nourishing Peace/Harmony), the Imperial Summer Palace, in the light of the winter sun.
The building on the right, at the top of the hill, is the Sea of Wisdom. In front of it is the Tower of Buddhist Incense.
The current Imperial Summer Palace, Yiheyuan, was built after the Old Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan, had been looted and burnt by Anglo French forces during the Second Opium War. Many looted items are now said to be in British and other European art collections.

Longevity bracelet.
The symbol of Longevity represents a long, healthy, prosperous life, which is one of the most admirable and highest goals of humanity.
I took this photograph a few weeks ago with the sole intention of posting this on my father's birthday.
This year he would have been 96.
Oak is often associated with honor and wisdom thanks to its size and longetivity and I thought it a fitting image to describe my father.
Just like the Oak, my father was always there, a strong but quiet presence.
It was 24 years ago now. I remember clearly the day. I was in a meeting in my office in Covent Garden, it was late morning when my sister phoned to tell me the news.
Time marches on but since moving up to Cheshire I often think how lovely it would have been for both my mother and father to have seen my wife and children.
Happy Birthday Dad.
Is it a shot from Chinese traditional painting?of course not.I took it from a huge porcelain vase in my office building,this photo is just one of small part from it.It is not flat and the reflected light is strong.So it is not easy to shoot the right one.
In Chinese culture,the pine simbolizes evergreen,and the red-crowned crane simbolizes longevity.they are both linked to best wishes.
As time goes by.everyone is getting old and even die,But human being's love is everlasting.let's enjoy everyday.
This mountain ash leaflet, already chewed up, and ripped from its tree by sever winds, landed facedown on a small outdoor table. It remained there through several days and nights of rain with only momentary reprieves, gathering a different collection of droplets each day. The table was so saturated that its wood's fibres were raised, undoubtedly helping to hold the leaf in place, when it might have floated off on several occasions. Eventually I peeled the leaflet off the table, but not before taking a photo. There was something so lovely in the sinuous line of its stem, a beauty even in its ragged state.

Mosaic Montage Monday: Longevity
Double exposure in camera
The Bunya Bunya Pine, Araucaria bidwillii, belongs to the Araucariaceae family, which dominated the globe during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, i.e. from 201 to 66 million years ago. Three genera of this family have survived: Araucaria, Agathis and Wollemia. All survivals are in the southern hemisphere, in ancient Gondwanaland. Seven further genera have been identified in the fossil record.
This object is probably the most cherished thing I have. It belonged to my Great-grandfather. I loved it since I was a very little girl and I knew it wasn’t a toy. I marveled over it for years after my mom got it. Sometime when I was a teenager my prized possession fell down in the curio cabinet and in his right hand held a staff or walking stick. Consequently the very delicate rod broke off and I don’t know what my mother did with it. In his left hand holds a peach. I was crushed. I don’t know much about except for what I found on the web. Vintage Chinese carved wood sculpture of Shou, one of the three Sanxing and the embodiment of Longevity, modeled as a bearded wise old man holding a peach. Shou is also known as the Old Man of the South Pole, the Taoist deification of Canopus, the brightest star of the constellation Carina, and the symbol of happiness and longevity in Far Eastern culture.
"Longevity:" This barren tree has stood tall over the rim of the Grand Canyon for many years, and I have visited and photographed it many times in various conditions and times of day. I wondered just how long it had been there. It has weathered many storms day in and day out and, despite not having any foliage, it stands tall, albeit slightly leaning, on the precipice of this great abyss. I watched as the last rays of the sun highlighted a distant rock structure in the canyon and the clouds above slowly started to take on beautiful hues.
Since moving up to Northumberland just over a year ago we have been surprised by the garden that my wife Liz planted up over the summer in a very positive sense.
One such surprise is the longevity of many of the things planted (some of which came up from Bedfordshire and stayed in pots for 9 months plus).
And our rudbeckia have only just keeled over and the lupins still look as if they are enjoying life.
So a shot from yesterday in the garden....

Scientists are looking at how to expand "life expectancy"; what to eat, what to drink, how to live; because human nation wants to stay alive forever.
