The Eemhuis combines a number of existing cultural institutes in the city of Amersfoort: the city library, the exposition center, the heritage archives and a school for dance, music and visual arts. It is located on an urban redevelopment area close to the city center.
La vita è un cammino lungo il quale cresciamo, incontriamo degli ostacoli, lottiamo per raggiungere i nostri sogni e diventiamo più saggi andando tutti verso una stessa direzione. La nostra permanenza è limitata, ma non per questo dobbiamo vivere passivamente oppressi dal nostro destino. Al contrario, dobbiamo cercare di trarre tutto il meglio dall’esistenza.
C’è chi viaggia per perdersi, c’è chi viaggia per trovarsi.
(Gesualdo Bufalino)
Life is a path along which we grow, we encounter obstacles, we struggle to achieve our dreams and we become wiser by all going in the same direction. Our stay is limited, but this does not mean we must live passively oppressed by our destiny. On the contrary, we must try to get the best out of existence.
There are those who travel to get lost, there are those who travel to find themselves.
(Gesualdo Bufalino)

Le pilote du jet ski est venu récupérer " son " surfeur et doit trouver LE moment pour passer de l'autre côté des vagues ....
Il a essayé de nombreuses fois avant d' y arriver , au risque d' être renversé !
Et ce n' est qu' une " petite" vague pour eux!

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
Michael Jordan
Oversize load transport equipment parked at the "Olympia-Schiessanlange" in Garching. "Action" shots to follow, stay tuned...
The thing is called a "Kesselbrücke", works basically like a Schnabel car on a railway, the main difference is that the load is vertically adjustable to pass over or under obstacles. Another difference - the load is placed on a dedicated platform between the two halves of the vehicle, therefore the load does not need to have the mechanical stiffness to bear its own weight (loads on Schnabel cars must be stiff).
Total length is 96 m, it has total 34 axles (count them if you wish...).
The load is a 210 t heavy gas turbine for the Heizkraftwerk Süd power station in the south of Munich.

When the great Osprey is on the hunt, there are few obstacles to prevent it from pursuing it's prey!
Real obstacles don't take you in circles. They can be overcome. Invented ones are like a maze.

If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. Frank A. Clark
*happy bokeh wednesday*
The bridge will get you from point A to point B by going over the obstacle. If you find yourself knee deep then you missed the turn. You can see the alterations I have done going to an abstract but the part you do not see is there was a huge stick that poked up in the middle of the shot and ruined the bridge, in abstract it was quiet easy to erase the stick and bridge the gap in the bridge, hope you enjoy the spring crossover!

"With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself, or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow, or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.
View the events you consider obstacles as perfect opportunities to test you resolve and find your purpose.
Have faith that the Universe won´t send you anything you´re incapable of handling."

It is far from easy to change the way we are thinking, but we have to try, - for beautiful thoughts build a beautiful word :-)
Happy new year everyone...My silence is due to many "obstacles" I'm trying to see as opportunities..
Thank you for your visits and comments, I'll be slowly catching up and visiting each one of you. :-)
Sending love always...
Worry walks beside me every day
They say I should run but It's comin my way
I'll be doin fine if you just leave me behind
Coming all over and under my skin
Say if I follow I will die like a king
I'll be doin fine if you just leave me behind
What will it take to believe I can run
What will it take? When will I be done?
I've been trying
I find him standing here all the time......

Tiger Clough, Rivington, Lancashire
Another casualty from the February storms making the walk to the Tiger Clough waterfall difficult.
The afternoon sun shines through the trees and shines on the road. The picture is more interesting and vivid. Little girl crosses the
slope and enters Taichung Park, This slope is very slippery. Happy Sunday！
午後的陽光透過樹木照在路上。畫面更有趣和生動。小女孩跨越斜坡，進入台中公園，這個斜坡很滑溜。周日愉快！

Smoke from Forest fires in distant lands shrouds the sun causing very orange skies at sunset.
The wheat harvest ends the growing season for another year
BNSF vehicle train V TACLPC1 24F punches through the solid basalt hole known as Drano Tunnel (Tunnel #2) near Cook, WA, in the Columbia River Gorge. Drano Tunnel is the first of five tunnels the train will pass thorugh in the next 3 miles as it and parallel Washington Route 14 navigate the narrow confines of land crammed between the northern bank of the Columbia River and numerous rock formations, lakes, and steep slopes. CREX 1206 is working rear-end DPU duty, shoving hard to get the autoracks rolling at track speed after holding for Amtrak on the fast-paced and heavily utilized Fallbridge Subdivision.
It is a long time since I have been able to visit this wood. So lovely to see the greenery. This path has a tree trunk across. It is a path often used by horses. I expect the riders love it.

A typical Scottish Highland scene, with the natural granite rocks helping to direct and slow the flow of the water course as it races towards the sea.
Leafhopper (family Cicadellidae)
The first of this species I have seen this year. About 3 mm in length.

"I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,

Jimmy Cliff - I can see clearly now
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
Look all around, there’s nothin?but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin?but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
You feel so small, lifeless and overwhelmed and you’re working hard to push through the painful obstacles you face, take time to rest and keep looking for light.

"מגדל ג'ורג'", על שם ג'ורג' קזמה, בעל האדמות, שהקק"ל רכשו ממנו את הקרקע והקימו עליה - בין היתר - את קיבוץ מסילות. המגדל נבנה ע"י הקיבוצניקים, בסיוע של ההגנה, ב-1939. הוא אמור היה לשכן שומרים שיגנו על החקלאים של מסילות מפני הטרדות של פלחים ושודדים ערבים, על סמך ניסיון שנרכש בעת ההתגוננות בתקופת המאורעות. לא רחוק משם יש מגדל נוסף, ליד ניר דוד (תל עמל) שנקרא מגדל השלושה,
