But is this really surprising? Can the mathematician who looks at the world mathematically find anything else but mathematics in the universe? Should not one rather ask him whether he has not himself at some time or other looked at the world in a way that is other than mathematical? Whether, for example, he has never seen an apple tree in blossom and wondered why the process of fertilization by the interplay between bees and tree is not effected otherwise than through the roundabout way of the blossom, thus including the completely superfluous wonder of beauty, which again, of course, can only be understood by cooperation, by relying on that which is already beautiful even without us?
... Yet the man who seeks a view of the whole will have to say: In the world we find present, without doubt, objective mathematics; but we also find equally present in the world unparalleled and unexplained wonders of beauty, or, to be more accurate, there are events that appear to the apprehending mind of man in the form of beauty, so that he is bound to say that the mathematician responsible for these events has displayed an unparalleled degree of creative imagination.

For a time, many businesses in Wisconsin as well as many other places are closed for a time. A rail car sits under the designated delivery area to block any other trains from going through,
"I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
Call me, baby, if you need a friend
I just wanna give you love
Come on, come on, come on
Reaching out to you, so take a chance
No matter where you go
You know you're not alone
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
Come along with me and don't be scared
I just wanna set you free
Come on, come on, come one
You and me can make it anywhere
For now, we can stay here for a while, ay
'Cause you know, I just wanna see you smile
No matter where you go
You know you're not alone
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
And when you're weak I'll be strong
I'm gonna keep holding on
Now don't you worry, it won't be long, Darling
And when you feel like hope is gone
Just run into my arms
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one, I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
I'm only one call away"

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
One of the largest reclining Buddha statues I have seen in Thailand is at Wat Lokayasutharam. The remains of the temple are confined to the ground floor and foundations which makes this sight all the more amazing
2023 Photo 109/256: I saw this tiny doe drinking from a hillside spring as I was walking to the Blue Ridge Tunnel that runs under the mountain between Afton and Waynesboro, Va. The doe still had its winter coat and was obviously not a fawn, but she was so small that I wondered how it possibly could have made it through the winter. ©2023 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com
now the whole hole-story ...
you can guess it, it's a Tadao Ando and here you can see the opposite direction to Hilde's photo we uploaded a few days ago ...
Ando does what he often does, he combines water with concrete and glass, and combines building parts in a special angle to each other and combines a closed building part with an open building part, which at first still one-sided with roof dissolves later in a wall and roofless row of columns (you will see it later) ...
but the hinge from the closed to the open part of the building, which intersects with the main path, is decisive.
Here he makes a round recess in the roof. which marks the entrance and creates funny light and shadow games all day long ... the circle wanders and gets with the walls and the different substrates, like materials always new aspects ... so simple and easy ... so good ...
Man kann es erraten, es ist ein Tadao Ando und hier sieht man die entgegengesetzte Richtung zu Hildes Foto, das wir vor einigen Tagen hochgeladen haben ...
Ando macht, was er oft macht, er kombiniert Wasser mit Beton und Glas, und kombiniert Gebäudeteile in einem besonderen Winkel zueinander und kombiniert einen geschlossenen Gebäudeteil mit einem offenen Gebäudeteil, das zunächst noch einseitig gefasst, mit Dach, sich nachher in eine wand- und dachlose Stützenreihe auflöst (ihr werdet es später noch sehen) ...
aber entscheidend ist das Gelenk, oder das Schanier vom geschlossenen zum offenen Gebäudeteil das sich mit dem Hauptweg kreuzt. Hier macht er eine runde Aussparung ins Dach, die den Eingang markiert und den ganzen Tag lustige Licht- und Schattenspiele erzeugt ... der Kreis wandert und bekommt mit den Wänden und den verschiedenen Untergründen, wie Materialen, immer neue Aspekte ... so schlicht und einfach ... so gut ...

One fifth of me was broken, and the rest was about to collapse. As small petals falling lightly and being carried by the winds.

These hearts were very unruly and did not want to cooperate while setting them up.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HCT
South Tower, seen from the Watch Room of the identical North Tower, Thacher Island. On the right are the two restored keeper's houses, and the oil house is in the foreground.
These were the first twin lighthouses built in America and remain the only pair still both operating. Also the first built to warn of an ocean hazard instead of a harbor entrance. The nearby Londoner Rock was the site of 65 shipwrecks reported between 1775 and 1845, and others earlier.
The 52-acre island is owned by the town of Rockport and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, whose property at the north end is managed as a wildlife refuge. The island and its structures were designated in 2001 as a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service, and it is all maintained and managed by the volunteers of the nonprofit Thacher Island Association (thacherisland.org/), in collaboration with the town.
Cape Ann Light Station on Thacher Island, Rockport, Massachusetts
Went out to the local woods with my camera earlier today, the light was good. Unfortunately, I didn't get anything worth publishing, but it felt good to put on my walking boots and wade through muddy puddles.
So here is an insect taken in our garden during the summer. Hopefully will have something new to post soon.
Hope you're all having a great weekend ❤️
