We often find ourselves driving the backroads of the Ozarks right as the sun begins it’s slow descent behind our many hills. It’s a beautiful, peaceful time of day, and is often the backdrop for old barns or weathered farmhouses. City skylines are amazing and I love them, too, but…..

This was a little spot that we camped at for a couple of nights...we were lucky, we had all to ourselves. Sadly the small amount of water in the gorge was not safe to swim in, due to some microbes that could cause brain damage. We risked using it to wash our feet!

A very serene sunrise just me & Percy enjoying the views and the calm by ourselves. Good company pelicans, unless you are a fish of course.

Quote by Sir Edmund Hillary

A view from Triglav (2864 m), the highest mountain in Slovenia, towards southeast.

Triglav National Park, Julian Alps, Slovenia.

On my way home I found this little feather resting on fragile flower bed. I don't know why but it really reminds me of the book by Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being. “Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”

Tomorrow I will go to the library and find this book and read it again. I do think November is a great month to drink hot chocolate milk and read a lot of books.

Children joyful dancing in the sun

With a blissful ignorance of what's to come

When the guardsmen start to struggle

And the barriers give way

We're broken and we wither in the fray

We are husks

Alive but barely breathing

Sometimes we pull ourselves together

But our efforts fade away

We are dust

Crumbling by the moment

We try to push away the ending

And black roses fall the same

Running off afraid of what's to come

When you're facing down the barrel of the lawman's gun

But the saints have learned the secret

And the rebels know the same

We're killing just to bury our remains

We are husks

Alive but barely breathing

Sometimes we pull ourselves together

But our efforts fade away

We are dust

Crumbling by the moment

We try to push away the ending

And black roses fall the same

Preludes of every stanza

End on repeating notes

A tale of woe and sadness

Chоrus of silent throats

We try and keep a memory

Transcribing every line

But when they turn to ashes

We perish slaves to time

Burned out on borrowed moments

Used up like cigarettes

We feel our time expiring

But it's not over yet

Each finds a meager purpose

Though our cold grave awaits

We face the morbid beauty

Of our collective fate

We are flawed

Chained to the laws of nature

I guess we'll have to teach each other

To leave legends to our names

We are husks

Alive but barely breathing

Sometimes we pull ourselves together

But our efforts fade away

We are dust

Crumbling by the moment

We try to push away the ending

And black roses fall the same

We are husks

Alive but barely breathing

Sometimes we pull ourselves together

But our efforts fade away

We are husks

Alive but barely breathing

Sometimes we pull ourselves together

But our efforts fade away

We are dust

Crumbling by the moment

We try to push away the ending

And black roses fall the same

"I think we need to redefine failure. If we can flip the script and see these first efforts not as failure, nor as needing anything that looks like success, then we stop giving our brains the chance to confirm our bias that says we can’t do this and to reinforce the voices that say we can. We give ourselves small wins."

The Problem With Muses; Notes on Everyday Creativity, 2020

I'll not become a professional artist or photographer the way my sister has. That's so rare that her college awarded her a special prize for achieving in her chosen graduate field and degree.

But the urge to create in spite of my doubts continues. Just small wins...not a new career or huge success.

Last January 2022 I asked for help and a Flickr support hero removed both of my accounts from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed and in the moment.

We all feel a little lost sometimes. We all feel a little lonely. We all feel sometimes like we're the only one looking out for ourselves, or that we're the only ones that would care if something ever happened to us.

We are all wrong.

"I Rise"

We cannot let ourselves be changed by hatred.

We can change the oppression of women if we speak up, stand together, and rise.

You can recognize survivors of abuse by their courage. When silence is so very inviting, they step forward and share their truth so others know they aren’t alone.

My hubby & I have been taking sanity walks - on the deserted beach or through the forest, anywhere we can enjoy some fresh air, and yet still keep the social distance rules.

HFF & happy weekend friends ♡

We have cast ourselves back to Iceland for a two weeks campervan roundtrip through all places rare and wild and might have only intermitent internet access despite renting a 4G mi-fi but that is Iceland and wild terrain for you. Hope to report daily with fresh images and to see you all back in two weeks time.

There is nothing quite like standing on a beach in the Artic circle surrounded with incredible mountains, golden sunshine, blue skies, turquoise water, gale force winds, frozen ice, sand and snow. We were greeted with ever changing conditions on our morning at Haukland beach.

I absolutely loved the colours here and my intention was to capture the snow as it was thrown across the beach the tricky thing here was just trying to keep the camera and tripod on the ground with the powerful winds.

Despite this being one of the most famous beaches in Lofoten we were lucky enough to have this amazing place all to ourselves.

It didn’t matter that we’d seen it on YouTube a gazillion times already. That we’d pored over Flickr for images from here had no effect whatsoever. When we pulled up in the car park and saw it for ourselves for the very first time, two pairs of eyes popped out of their sockets as if on cartoon springs and boinged about in front of us as we gasped in amazement. Boinged? Is that even a word? West Brom fans say it is, so we’ll go with it. Jokulsarlon was bonkers, and so were we at first sight. It was as if we’d arrived at a seaport, yet instead of mighty ships waiting to carry us off on a cruise, a chaos of white and blue forms. Every one of them uniquely shaped and ever changing, littering the lagoon, silent, yet moving away from the glacier towards the ocean at a speed that was barely detectable.

We’d arrived late in the evening, and though it was still quite busy, there was space to roam quietly alone, and I edged away from what crowds there were along the shoreline towards the glacier, until the only sound I could hear was that of large chunks of ice cracking and buckling mournfully out on the water. From the glacier they would break free, floating around like the world’s slowest rubber ducks in a bathtub, nodding to each other silently under the endless Icelandic daylight. Each of them knowing that after two hundred years or more of being trapped in an enormous blue wall of ice, they’d soon be swept away along the shortest river in Iceland, beneath that handsome white suspension bridge and onto Diamond Beach for the final act. If you’d bought a bottle of gin with you, here was the place to grab a chunk or two to bring it to the proper temperature. Sadly, I didn’t have gin. Happily I had a camera. And a spare one just in case.

The hinterland glacier creaked and heaved under a glowing envelope of late sunlight, that poked through dark clouds and ignited the scene before me, blazing a golden path across the lagoon. Up until now our visit to Iceland had delivered the sort of conditions we’d grimly acknowledged we would simply have to “work with,” but now we had some light to get excited about at last. Quite why I was shooting at f22, I really can’t say four years later. Perhaps I was in too much of a hurry to attach a filter in the days before I bought the magnetic ones that I can attach in no time at all. And here was the trade off between wanting to smooth out the water whilst not blurring the icebergs. At a second I seemed to be just about getting away with it. Three seconds and the blurring started to drop hints. But for many of those images taken here, I’d thoughtlessly aimed at thirty seconds. This, and the fact that we only passed here at midday three years later means I need to return to the glacier lagoon another time, this time at the right time, and opening the shutter for the right amount of time. Hopefully finding cleaner, simpler compositions amongst the icy debris. That’s a lot of things to get right. Seriously – f22? Still, it didn’t put me off having a go at reworking the image.

It seems strange that with so many images from last year’s visit to work on, I’ve found myself returning to the earlier 2019 trip a few times recently. A trip where we raced around in a hurry, seeing everything but seeing so little, barely able to get to grips with a location before moving onto the next one, which might have been a hundred miles or more away. Getting nowhere whatsoever when the clouds descended and hid everything from sight at two of the locations we’d been most excited about. I never felt I’d told the full story of that first visit to Iceland either. And I’m forever learning, trying to improve on the previous edit, hopefully getting somewhere even with such a cluttered scene as this. Will I still be unearthing images from the 2022 adventure in another four years’ time? Probably. Especially as I haven’t even started on so many of them yet. It’s like having a treasure chest that you can keep dipping into, finding images to shake out memories that need to written down, remembered and shared.

So I’ll carry on dusting off those older images, revisiting the raw files and seeing whether I’ve got any further forward in the editing process. After all, if there’s a golden glow over a lagoon full of icebergs to be worked on, it seems the obvious thing to do.

Or.....lets put ourselves in the Ritz!Better hide the towels....here we come!!!

This year on our annual trek to Pacific Beach, we found ourselves walking through ground fog which obscured our destination. It perfectly illustrated my feeling of unease at journeying into the unknown as a nation with an ignorant demagogue as a leader. I try hard not to despair, but sometimes I feel like I am truly a 'stranger in a strange land'.

"A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles."

"It's actually quite a good ethos for life: go into the unknown with truth, commitment, and openness and mostly you'll be okay."

~ Alan Cumming

The early start certainly paid off and we had the entire island to ourselves to wonder around and shoot the endless compositions this place has to offer. Beaches, lighthouses, towers, old church ruins and wild horses roaming this place is magical.

This little stone boathouse with the golden sand and Twr Bach Lighthouse to the right of it just made for a really nice image in my opinion.

"SOME OLD FASHIONED THINGS LIKE FRESH AIR AND

SUNSHINE ARE HARD TO BEAT” - LAURA INGALLS WILDER. There is comfort in seeing the sun streaming through the trees welcoming a new day. It is especially heartwarming when you are outdoors to feel the warmth of that sun shining. For us, it was a bonus to have almost the whole campground to ourselves so we had the quiet emergence of the day to ourselves. It really is hard to beat.

Our lives are often, if not always, about finding a way for ourselves. We are surrounded by trees that give us protection, whose shade we may also fear. We find wide open spaces next to dense undergrowth and it is not uncommon for us to come across dangerous swamps and water holes in which we threaten to sink. So which way do we go?

We can walk on the paths left by generations before us. We can look for someone to show us a way or we can just follow the people around us. In these cases there is no guarantee that we will achieve what we want, where we really arrive. It's possible, and often enough we get closer. But it is not certain.

If we have the will to do it, if we are willing to make the effort and have the courage, we create our own path. This is a very special experience where we can grow beyond ourselves.

It's exhausting and sometimes scary, but once we get to the point where the path we’re creating is already the goal and we can invite others to follow us on that path, then we're at the source of true happiness.

In unserem Leben geht es oft, wenn nicht sogar immer darum, einen Weg für uns zu finden. Wir sind umringt von Bäumen, die uns Schutz spenden, vor deren Schatten wir uns vielleicht auch fürchten. Wir finden weite freie Flächen neben dichten Unterholz und nicht zu selten stoßen wir auf gefährliche Sümpfe und Wasserlöcher in denen wir zu versinken drohen. Welchen Weg schlagen wir also ein ?

Wir können die Wege beschreiten, die Generationen vor uns hinterlassen haben. Wir können jemanden suchen, der uns einen Weg zeigt oder wir folgen einfach den Menschen um uns herum. In diesen Fällen ist nicht garantiert, dass wir hier das Ziel erreichen, was wir uns wünschen, wo wir wirklich ankommen. Es ist möglich und oft genug kommen wir nah genug heran. Doch es ist nicht sicher.

Wenn wir den festen Willen dazu haben, bereit sind den Aufwand zu betreiben und uns trauen, schaffen wir unseren eigenen Weg. Dies ist eine ganz besondere Erfahrung an der wir über uns hinaus wachsen können.

Es ist anstrengend und manchmal beängstigend doch sind wir einmal an dem Punkt angekommen, dass der Weg den wir erschaffen bereits unser Ziel ist und wir andere dazu einladen können uns auf diesem Weg zu folgen, dann sind wir an der Quelle wahrer Zufriedenheit.

In this season, the broad dark green leaves of elaeagnus are interspersed with small clusters of the most fragrant little flowers.

We first made the acquaintance of elaeagnus as a hedge bordering a French car park where we left the car to visit Maison Prévert.

Home again, we bought one for ourselves which, in contrast to the small size of the flowers, now grows 6 to 8 feet high near the stream in our garden.

If we allow ourselves to stay amazed and astounded at the vibrant instants of every day and do not feel ashamed of admitting to being speechless or dumbfounded sometimes... we can uncover unsuspected sparkling gems hidden all around us..

(Lynx pardinus) 022A0246 Sierra de Andujar - Spain

Guide Alvaro Peral (Wild Andalucia)

Here is our 2nd Iberian Lynx, he was very far away, about 150 meters.

In the Sierra de Andujar there is a path known to many people: on a bumpy stretch of road you can meet photographers from all over the world. Everyone patrols for a few kilometers (about three) because it's a place of passage favored by many Lynxs.

In any case, there are not many other possible choices because this path is framed by fenced private properties dedicated to bull breeding or by private hunting reserves. The sense of private property is extremely acute in this region.

Common practice is to exchange phone numbers with other photographers so that anyone who sees a Lynx can warn others. This means that very often we find ourselves with more than 10 or 20 photographers to photograph a furtive and often distant animal. There is a lot of intensity, friendly collaboration and shared emotions in these place.

Voici notre 2ème Lynx ibérique, il était très éloigné, environ 150 mètres.

Dans la Sierra d'Andujar il existe un chemin connu de beaucoup de gens : sur une portion de route cahotique, on peut rencontrer des photographes du monde entier. Tout le monde patrouille sur quelques kilomètres (trois environ) car c'est un lieu de passage privilégié par beaucoup de Lynxs.

De toutes manières, il n'y a pas beaucoup d'autres choix possibles car ce chemin est encadré de propriétés privées cloturées consacrées à des élevages de Toros ou, par des réserves de chasse privées. Le sens de la propriété privée est extrêmement aigu dans cette région.

La pratique courante est d'échanger nos numéros de téléphone avec les autres photographes de façon à ce que celui qui aperçoit un Lynx puisse prévenir les autres. Ce qui fait que bien souvent nous nous retrouvons à plus de 10 ou 20 photographes pour photographier un animal furtif et souvent éloigné. Il y a beaucoup d'intensité, de collaboration amicale et d'émotions partagées en ces lieux.

The warehouse to the right is where my previous shot, live wire www.flickr.com/photos/42049292@N08/18359506813/in/photost... was taken. I actually went to Port Adelaide to get this shot as I had driven past this spot the day before and it looked like an interesting perspective of the Port River in Port Adelaide. As I was taking this shot, I saw a cyclist ride up to the open barred windows of the warehouse and start taking photos. So of course I had to go and explore myself ;)

When we get too caught up in the business of the world, we lose connection with one another - and ourselves

Last Snow......

A heavy snow fell early March 2019 covering everything with a thick layer of fresh fluffy white snow. We got up early and headed to the park where we found ourselves in a scene from the movie Narnia; snow was falling from the branches above every time the wind blew. at times it was as if it was still snowing... with so much snow falling from the heavy laden branches overhead.

We do not need magic to transform our world.

The power we need is inside ourselves already.

ENG: If we turn around ourselves for a long time and then suddenly stop, we get a felt giddy (in German: Drehwurm). The ground seems to sway while everything around us continues to rotate.

I photographed this staircase before on March 9, 2019 and now here comes a new interpretation, photographed with my current smartphone.

I discovered this wonderful gem once again by chance while strolling around and entering a department store on the Frankfurter Allee in Berlin.

>>> Version 1 >>> flic.kr/p/2e53Khv

GER: Wenn wir uns längere Zeit um uns selbst drehen und dann plötzlich stehenbleiben bekommen wir einen Drehwurm. Der Boden scheint zu schwanken, während sich alles um uns herum weiterdreht.

Am 9. März 2019 habe ich diese Treppe schon einmal fotografiert und hier kommt nun eine neue Interpretation, fotografiert mit meinem aktuellen Smartphone.

Dieses wunderbare kleinod hab ich mal wieder durch Zufall beim flanieren und betreten eines Kaufhauses auf der Frankfurter Allee in Berlin entdeckt.

It is much easier to love life when you are traveling. Where no one knows you, where everything is in your hands, you really become the master of your destiny. Adventure gives us joy. And joy, after all, is the purpose of life. We earn money to be able to enjoy ourselves

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!

❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️

1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)

7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)

Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!

So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!

❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️

16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)

16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)

1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!

So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

All children deserve a safe warm house. Growing up without such a basic need destroys their childhood and impacts on their health and education.

With such a cold winter this year its important to remember those not as fortunate as ourselves, who don't have a nice warm home. Shelter do such a fantastic job in helping those with housing difficulties we think its important to recognise their efforts.

How did people of the previous generations lived ? Yeah, we can learn more by digging up history, from reading literature works, from old photos, videos or even relevant paintings etc. Suffice it to say, no clear picture will emerge without seeing their settings for ourselves. This is the setting for a well known scholar/high ranking official ( Viceroy of Guangdong and Guangxi ) who was "granted" a white silk scarf -- something similar to what the Japanese economy got from Plaza Accord -- by Empress Dowager, to hang himself with for having favoured the revolutionaries. One of his sons was a painter, and a well known connoisseur who helped a lot to bring Qi Baishi -- the equivalent of Van Gogh or else Monet in China -- into public eyes. His youngest son was a great historian hailed by many as the greatest ever who also carried the nickname of "the professor of the professors" in the then Beijing University, for so many professors flocked into his classes there. This was also home of a great novelist who wrote some well known short stories which had been filmed by many producers and he also authored a book on Chinese costumes of the earlier Dynasties. This also happened to be the home of a well known modern artist/painter, who won a fortune by his works probably also through a little bit of luck, as once proclaimed by himself ... and I'll endeavour to post one or two of his works in Flickr, even though I understand that few Flickr enthusiasts really care much about paintings....
