All lives Matter, doesn't matter race or colour we all bleed red and breathe the same air. When you put on that uniform it's a badge of honor not a right to abuse your power. Justice and fair treatment to all no one deserves to lose their life by anothers hand.

No matter the skin colour or nationality the first nations consider everyone has a brother/sister to our mother the earth. Not a single life matters more than another

I was busy with the grand-children today so am posting this very late. Enjoy your day and thanks for visiting.
The milky way reflecting onto Tenaya Lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I am still blown away by how much light pollution there is around the San Franvisco Bay Area, but I am glad within a few hours I can get this view, I sure hope that it stays this way. Thankful to get to enjoy this view with some awesome buds.
Dark matter is a form of matter that is thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe and about a quarter of its total energy density.
Possibly being composed of some as-yet undiscovered subatomic particles. Its presence is implied in a variety of astrophysical observations, including gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless more matter is present than can be seen.
No wonder life can get you down some days.
"The impact of this is gonna fun
Reckless behavior, get ready to run
Bleed me dry to get the answers you want
I like the pain, it makes me feel calm
Bitter and broke and I'm fucking bored
Nothing to lose so watch me transform
A butterfly but with devil horns
Dark matter
Nothing ever felt the way it's supposed to
Call my dealer
If I sober up I'll leak my own future
I'll be, I'll be the darkest soul you've ever seen (ooh)
Dark matter (dark matter)
Nothing ever felt the way it's supposed to
Self-sabotage is all that I know
Dirt to my lips, another episode
Losing my grip, someone hand me the phone
'Cause I'm calling God, tell him that I'm not going home
Bitter and broke and I'm fucking bored
Nothing to lose so watch me transform
A butterfly but with devil horns
Dark matter
Nothing ever felt the way it's supposed to
Call my dealer
If I sober up I'll leak my own future
I'll be, I'll be the darkest soul you've ever seen (ooh)
Dark matter (dark matter)
Nothing ever felt the way it's supposed to
The devil on my shoulder, she's telling me it's over
But I don't even really wanna go
If God is a woman, then so is the devil
So the devil is someone you know
Criminal behavior, I am my own savior
A monument to who I've become
I'm overly aggressive, the biggest of messes
It's probably why I'm always on the run
Dark matter
Nothing ever felt the way it's supposed to
Call my dealer
If I sober up I'll leak my own future
I'll be, I'll be the darkest soul you've ever seen (ooh)
Dark matter (dark matter)
Nothing ever felt the way it's supposed to
The devil on my shoulder, she's telling me it's over
But I don't even really wanna go
If God is a woman, then so is the devil

Criminal behavior, I am my own savior
A monument to who I've become
I'm overly aggressive, the biggest of messes
It's probably why I'm always on the run"

Here are a couple of Black Lives Matter murals in downtown Raleigh that were created after the death of George Floyd. The local artists who created them have a powerful message to share about how black lives matter, the importance of having your voice heard and expressing the desire for justice and equal protection under the law. These can be found on Hillsborough Street.

Combating climate change and making the planet greener and cleaner is an issue for everyone. Climate change is no longer a distant, futuristic scenario, but an immediate threat. How times have changed since World Environment Day was launched by the United Nations General Assembly 36 years ago. We wonder if they considered then that today climate change, global warming, natural disasters and the effects of global climate change --- deforestation, desertification, flooding, sea-level rise, beach erosion and other environmental impacts would have such an impact on world hunger and poverty.
Climate change is expected to put an estimated 50 million more people at risk of hunger and water stress by 2020. By 2050 a third of the people on Earth may lack a clean, secure source of water. It poses a serious threat to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially during a period of global economic recession, when resources needed to cope with climate change may be reassigned.
Poor people in developing countries are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The negative impacts on their crop yields are already being felt and will be increasingly severe. Climate change is likely to affect forest expansion and migration, and exacerbate threats to biodiversity resulting from land use/cover change and population pressure. Marine and coastal ecosystems are likely to be affected by sea level rise and temperature increases. Human health will also be adversely affected. Rising temperatures and rainfall variability had led to more climate-induced diseases and heat stress. Experts predict climate change-related stresses -- including disasters, food and water shortages and conflicts over scarce resources -- could permanently uproot 200 to 250 million people by mid-century. In many countries defence forces might find themselves torn between humanitarian relief operations and guarding their borders against climate refugees, as climate change and scarce resources, forcing millions of climate refugees across the borders.
United Nations demographers estimate that the world’s population will grow from today’s 6.7 billion people to somewhere between 7.8 billion and 10.8 billion by 2050. The solutions of global warming, climate refugees, extreme poverty and high levels of population growth will require entirely new relationships between the world’s human and natural systems. The world has yet to figure out how it will deal with global warming, changing rainfall patterns, melting glaciers, rising sea-levels and climate refugees.
According to new technique and research our planet's continents were arranged 2.5 billion years ago. We are homo consumens of the earth and very young specie still trying to understand the mysteries of nature and in our ignorance we have destroyed it. Climate change offers humanity no second chances. Only rich countries can break the deadlock crippling international climate negotiations and prevent the world lurching into climate disaster. We should find a way to measure the general well-being of the people and planet rather than just raw economic growth.

Like the carbon footprint, water footprints are one of the latest methods scientists and policy makers are using to assess humanity's impact on the planet. And now businesses are starting to use water footprinting as well.

This location on the Plantage Muidergracht and Roetersstraat is always suitable for larger objects in the water. "Particle Matters" is another good example of this this edition.

Like grass waving in the wind, white balls on threads sway here. Strands of some kind of alien life form, it seems. As if something from Mars has landed on Earth. In effect, we are looking at a kinetic light sculpture that uses thousands of points of reflected light to visualize subtle changes in the wind. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the wind.
[ Amsterdam Light Festival ]
Amsterdam Light Festival
Amsterdam Light Festival is an annual light art festival in Amsterdam. Artists, architects and (light) designers from all over the world bring their light artworks and installations alive during the festival every winter.
Edition #11 is from 1 December 2022 till 22 Jaunuary 2023. The title of this eleventh edition is "Imagine Beyond". The world around us is temporary and can be very different just like that. If nothing is self-evident anymore, we may need our imagination like never before. Let go of reality for a while and wander along with what passes in your head.
This year the route is 6.5 kilometers long and there are 20 light works to enjoy.
Water route: Oosterdok - Entrepotdok - Sarphatistraat - Plantage Muidergracht - Nieuwe Keizersgracht - Amstel - Zwanenburgwal - Oude Schans - Oosterdok

We hadden een jaarlijkse bijeenkomst met Rita en Martha. Dit jaar waren wij aan de beurt en we kozen één van van weinige succesvolle struisvogelboerderijen als extra activiteit. Bedankt Christel en Bert, voor zoveel gastvrijheid, ondanks het feit we slechts met een klein groepje waren. Jullie zijn top!! Dikke duim!!
We had our annual Flickr meet-up with Rita and Martha. This year it was our turn and we visited one of the very few successful ostrich farms as an extra activity. Thank you so much Christel and Bert, for hospitality, despite we were only five. You are top! Thumbs up!

Early November around here is usually brutal for anyone who is affected by the seasons. Late autumn can steal your soul. The days are shorter, Daylight Time is over, and darkness comes like a surprise. And then the weather starts to turn. The earlier golden days are replaced by endless weeks filled with cold winds, joyless clouds and unending darkness. Frequent rains rip the leaves from the trees and rob them of their color. What a background for a presidential election.
Eight years ago, it was a nightmare. The weather started to turn on election day, and for weeks after that the darkness continued unbroken as events unfolded in Florida and Washington. Between the election and the day the Supreme Court ruled for Bush, the sun never came out -- or so it seems now, although I suppose there were days when it did. It was the death of hope. The heavens seemed to mock the very idea of hope. The same dark cycle played out more quickly four years ago. When the country was offered a choice between light and darkness, we once again found ourselves collectively sidetracked into the dark side.
It's different now. This year we had a pleasant autumn that continued, unseasonably warm, right through the election. It's only a matter of time before we catch up to the calendar and the season turns miserable again. But it's different now -- the cold and wet and darkness won't be reinforcing a deeper sense of hopelessness. This isn't 2000. It isn't 2004. It's 2008, Barack and Michelle Obama are headed for the White House, and there's a new sense of hope to warm our souls during the dark days. (And lots of hard work.)
