or 'Hope in the Midst of Darkness.'
I've found an image which to me sums up how I feel about this new building in Southampton: a depressing darkness with touches of brightness sparkling around.
People seem to be divided, they either love it or hate it. To be fair, it does have interesting features, it does look better at night and it is certainly eyecatching, more images to come shortly.

Sorry for lack of comments, sorting out and getting used to new computer, will catch up soon.
In the midst of the global pandemic, where most people around the globe has been in lockdown - there's a lot to be thankful for.
Looking out the window, tonight's full moon has been a glorious sight.

Thanks to everyone for your visiting, favs & comments :).
Sometimes we all feel that even in the midst of others we're on the fence post alone. We each must walk through some doors alone although accompanied by those we love.
The Externsteine, are a unique cultural monument that has fascinated people since time immemorial. A medieval, sacred site in the midst of bizarre Sandstone cliffs, this is how visitors experience the Externsteine in the heart of the Lipperland.
The characteristic Rock formation rises up to 40 meters into the air. Both the viewing platform with the staircase from the 19th century, as well as the medieval grotto bear witness to the eventful history.
Above all, however, the relief of the Descent from the Cross, which was carved into the rocks by medieval stonemasons, is of worldwide importance.
The oldest nature reserve in Lippe around the Rock group invites you to immerse yourself in early history with its surrounding forests.
The Externsteine are part of the middle mountain range of the Teutoburg Forest, which is mainly composed of sandstones from the Lower Cretaceous period.
In the course of mountain building about 70 million years ago, the originally flat sandstone was pressed vertically in the area of the mountain range.
This monumental group of rocks, one of the most remarkable natural and cultural monuments in Central Europe, still raises many questions today.

Die Externsteine, sind ein einzigartiges Kulturdenkmal, das die Menschen seit jeher fasziniert. Eine mittelalterliche, sakrale Stätte inmitten bizarrer Sandsteinfelsen so erleben die Besucher die Externsteine im Herzen des Lipper Landes. Bis zu 40 Meter ragt die charakteristische Felsformation in die Höhe. Sowohl die Aussichtsplattform mit der Treppenanlage aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, als auch die mittelalterliche Grottenanlage zeugen von der wechselvollen Geschichte. Vor allem aber das Kreuzabnahmerelief, welches von mittelalterlichen Steinmetzen in die Felsen geschlagen wurde, ist weltweit von Bedeutung. Das älteste Naturschutzgebiet Lippes rund um die Felsengruppe lädt mit seinen umliegenden Wäldern zum Eintauchen in die Frühgeschichte ein.
Die Externsteine sind Bestandteil der vorwiegend aus Sandsteinen der Unterkreidezeit aufgebauten mittleren Gebirgskette des Teutoburger Waldes.
Im Zuge der Gebirgsbildung vor etwa 70 Millionen Jahren wurde der ursprünglich flach lagernde Sandstein im Bereich der Gebirgskette senkrecht aufgepresst.
Diese monumentale Felsengruppe, eines der bemerkenswertesten Natur- und Kulturdenkmäler Mitteleuropas, wirft bis heute viele Fragen auf.

Thanks for your Visit Views Faves and Comments, have all a Nice Month. 🌞✌
Plunked in the midst of the Central Oregon plateau, Black Butte looks like a misplaced mountain. A steep but view-packed trail climbs 1.9 miles to the panoramic summit, gaining 1,600 feet of elevation. The last portion of this route is difficult enough that it is not generally recommended for hikers with children. The trail crosses a treeless slope that's white in June with the blooms of serviceberry bushes. Expect other wildflowers, too: big yellow balsamroot, purple larkspur, and red paintbrush.

In the midst of a period of windy, wet weather with storm Eowyn 'waiting in the wings' this Barn Owl was out hunting in the last light of day, its legs dangling as it prepared to drop on its prey.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
"My dear,
In the midst of hate,
I found there was, within me,
an invincible #love.
In the midst of tears,
I found there was, within me,
an invincible #smile.
In the midst of chaos,
I found there was, within me,
an invincible #calm.
I realized, through it all, that...
In the midst of winter,
I found there was, within me,
an invincible #summer.
And that makes me happy.
For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me,
there's something stronger - something better,
pushing right back.
Truly yours,
Albert #Camus."

"How many times have you noticed that it's the little quiet moments in the midst of life that seem to give the rest extra-special meaning?" -Fred Rogers
Days have been exhausting lately. Busy days at work, the at home “to-do” list just keeps getting longer and nothing ever seems to get crossed off it. My computer hard drive died, and along with it at least 2 years worth of photos I hadn’t backed up. I’m seriously missing Covid quarantine days ( oh yeah, add that to the list too… I had Covid last month) I was happy to see the first frost this morning, telling me that winter is coming. Although I miss the daylight, I do enjoy not feeling guilty about just coming home from work and immediately changing into pajamas and going to bed early. I need recharging!
With last night’s frost, this may be one of the last bouquets of flowers for the year ( besides the store bought ones, that aren’t nearly as much fun). A friend gave them to me at work gif my birthday. I thought they deserved their own photo shoot!
Wishing you all peaceful days and time to recharge!
This was a big one.
My first attempt at using film washi F was during a big snowstorm last month. I developed it in rodinal 1:25. A little over developed but I think that's because I didn't compensate enough for the temperature of the water.
In the midst of high, lonesome country stretch several valleys of bizarre eroded rock formations known as Valles de Rocas. These strangely shaped badlands are great for a wander and snapping some photos.
From the dusty village of Alota nearby, it’s a three-hour jostle to Uyuni through a string of ‘authentic villages’, the most picturesque of which is Culpina K, which has colorful little houses and a cafe.
In the midst of this strange thing that the pandemic has become, the abnormalities of my adolescence that I experienced without "great consequences" seem to want to appear like monsters that come out from under the bed I lie in every night.
Night-blooming cereus, in the midst of blooming. Each plant blooms one night a year. In normal times, most plants in Tucson bloom on the same night, by some mysterious signaling process that communicates over long distances, and synchronizes the bloom. This year everything is out of whack; different areas, and different plants, are way out of sync. Maybe the signal has been disrupted by smoke from the Bighorn Fire in the Santa Catalinas, north of Tucson. To be sure, everything is out of whack this year! But when the bloom occurs it's awesomely beautiful, as seen here.

" In forest glades where shadows dance,
'Midst ancient oaks in twilight's trance,
There lies a realm of mystic lore,
Where mushrooms bloom forevermore.
Beneath the canopy's emerald sheen,
In dampened earth, a fairy queen,
With golden crown and robes so bright,
In moonlit glimmer, casts her light.
From humble earth, they gently rise,
Mushrooms of myriad shapes and size,
With caps of crimson, gold, and white,
They greet the morn with pure delight.
Oh, marvel of nature, humble fungus,
In dampened woods, you thrive among us,
A feast for fae and mortal tongue,
In tales of old, forever sung.
So heed the call of woodland's hush,
And seek the mushrooms in the brush,
For in their midst, a tale untold,
Of magic, mystery, and secrets old."
A.I generated poem
What does it mean, then, to live together with Wisdom? It is to live fully awake in the center of these contradictions of our times while refusing to be defined by them, to accommodate ourselves to them, like an essence fed into a computer. For when I am home with her I can take my ease, for nothing is bitter in her company.30 This is what Merton, citing Julian of Norwich, calls the true “eschatological secret” of Christian hope and the very “heart of theology: not solving the contradiction, but remaining in the midst of it, in peace, knowing that it is fully solved, but that the solution is secret, and will never be guessed until it is revealed. . . . The wise heart lives in Christ.”

In the midst of of a late season snowstorm, westbound oil cans for Utah approach the east portal of the Moffat Tunnel. Worth noting, this shot was less than 3 miles and 10 minutes apart from the previous shot at Tolland, showing just how quickly the weather can change at elevation.
Summer is beautiful this year... Warm, yet lush and green, and wildflowers to colour the scene.
Oh, and the very best wishes to all for 2015 :)

In the midst of a summer storm, U716 has its trio of 645 products notched out as they take a loaded train of taconite pellets from Fairlane to the yard in Proctor. Last week, the last EMD powered taconite train north of Proctor ran, marking the end of an era for the Missabe's famed Iron Range as GE rebuilds continue to flood the railroad.
The moated Castle Strünkede finds in Herner district Baukau, midst of an extensive palace gardens to the federalstreet 51st. Its name dates in the Middle High German word for
"strunk" of cleared trees back on.
By the end of the 18th Century family, the castle was the seat of the Barons of Strünkede.
Since 1938, the museum's cultural and civic history collections of the "Emschertal" at home there, and for several years, the rooms are also used for civil weddings and ceremonys.
There is just something about standing in the midst of a forest; quietly listening to the breeze gently moving through the branches overhead, occasionally the silence is disturbed by the creaking of the swaying trees as they dance to the rhythm of the wind.
In the distance the sound of a blackbird draws me back to the reality, that I am but a visitor to these woods. Soon I will be on my way.... The only thing I take with me are the photos I have taken while I was here; which serve to remind me of the serenity that can only be found in the woods and forests of Ontario.
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

'In the midst of a gentle rain while these thoughts prevailed, I was suddenly sensible of such sweet and beneficent society in Nature, in the very pattering of the drops, and in every sound and sight around my house, an infinite and unaccountable friendliness all at once like an atmosphere sustaining me, as made the fancied advantages of human neighborhood insignificant, and I have never thought of them since."—from Walden by Henry David Thoreau

For this picture, I held my camera very close to the ground such that the grass stalks in the fore- and background created that kind of nervous bokeh which I quite like. Hope you like it too!
Cardinals are a symbolic bird that represent positivity in the midst of life's troubles. Some believe that seeing a cardinal is a sign that a loved one or angel is near, offering love, encouragement, and protection.
in the midst of chaos...
when surrounded
by duplicity...
breathe.
just breathe.
tomorrow i will awaken...
unburdened.
-- me.
following my own path.
conjuring nirvana and a good death.
learning to sit with uncertainty.
living in questions, rather than answers.
choosing survival over healing.
embracing impermanence.
training the dragon in my heart.
reflecting on the mind - so excitable,
so uncertain, so difficult to control.
walking in trauma… the journey of my lifetime.
exploring this nondualistic universe.
surrounded by mystery.
inhale love… exhale doubt.
