We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know. - W. H. Auden

In a dark time, the eye begins to see,
I meet my shadow in the deepening shade;
I hear my echo in the echoing wood--
A lord of nature weeping to a tree,
I live between the heron and the wren,
Beasts of the hill and serpents of the den.
- excerpt from the poem, "In a Dark Time"
by Theodore Roethke
As I browse through Flickr and other sites, I am at times blown away by the images I see. It can be by a majestic landscape, a subtle expression in a portrait, the frozen action of an athlete, the colors and shapes of an abstract or just the light. My heart will skip a beat, my pulse will quicken, I am moved. I am forced to stop, examine everything a bit closer, to think about how and why the photographer captured the image. It will circle back to my own work and I will try to think about whoever is viewing my images and hope they too will be moved in some way.
Yesterday I listened to a Ted Radio Hour podcast "The Meaning of Work" www.npr.org/podcasts/510298/ted-radio-hour. One of the people telling their stories was Dame Steve Shirley, an inspiring and fascinating woman. One of the things she said was "I have to make my life worth saving, and each day you spend as if it would be your last." I love this so much and it is made more meaningful when you calculate out the days of life expectancy. My 5 year old daughter and I figured out yesterday that one million hours is 114.155251 years and there are 36,524.25 days in 100 years. Some days it feels like our lives will go on forever but when you stop and acknowledge that there is a limit to our existence it can make you view your life in a very different and profound way. Start today and make your life worth saving!
Sing me a Song.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ 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.
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)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
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 took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were 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. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Living on the edge - From the other side (B&W). Although I grew up in a working class area of a big city I find myself drawn to photograph the the coast and the junction of land, sea and sky. Mankind has been part of this landscape for thousands of years and we are now as much a part of it as the waves.
Blakeney Point at Blakeney, Norfolk, England is a spit of land that stretches out into the sea from Cley. It provide safe moorings for boats in the naturally protected Blakeney Harbour and the end is home to England's largest grey seal colony with around 4,000 pups born each year. The building is the old lifeboat house which is now an exhibition centre and home to the National Trust wardens that look after the area and colony.
It was bitter sweet for me to return to Shark Fin Cove after an absence of many years. This was one of the beaches I first photographed when I got into landscape photography. While still learning the ropes, I did not get any worthy photos but gained some valuable experience.
Fast forward about 6 years later, I finally made another attempt at this location. Watching an incredible band of clouds funnel through the Bay Area all day I was wondering what could be at sunset. Meeting up with Jeff and Tung, we decided to head south towards the Santa Cruz coastline. Trying to pinpoint exactly where the cloud mass would end up, we decided that Shark Fin Cove would be an ideal location to shoot. Embarrassingly, we first went to the wrong beach. Half way down the trail Jeff and I looked at each other asking where the sea stack went. Clearly, we had stopped at the incorrect beach. On our second attempt we arrived at Shark Fin Cove.
The light this evening was one of those nights to remember. The sky burned for over half an hour with incredible textures and dynamic colors. Throughout the light show I was running all over the beach trying to capture various compositions. Seemingly benign, this sea cave was anything but that. When the waves came crashing in, the water rushed in very fast. Jeff and I found ourselves constantly running back and forth using only a few seconds in between waves to setup, focus, and fire away our exposures. It took a few attempts but thankfully the large dynamic range of my sensor really helped out.
The other day a fox was running across our clearing in broad daylight. When I left the house to photograph her, she ran to the other side of the clearing and jumped onto the fence like a cat! And she stayed on the fence for about a minute, so I had time to take a few pictures.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!

"La laguna Jökulsárlón è, tra le meraviglie naturali d’Islanda, quella che più si avvicina alla definizione di Fantastico. Ai piedi del ghiacciaio Vatnajökull, è oggi uno dei più popolari posti dell’Islanda e per una buona ragione. Questa laguna glaciale, trasporta il visitatore in una dimensione surreale, dove i sensi si espandono ben oltre la fisicità"
Così recita una descrizione su internet di questo luogo.
Ciò che non riuscirete ad ascoltare è lo "scricchiolare" di questi blocchi di ghiaccio mentre si sciolgono colpiti dalle onde del mare.

Early start and a ride down to the other local woods that border the Manchester Ship Canal on one side and industrial units on the other.
Not been here for a while and the intention was to fly the drone.
When I arrived this oil tanker, The Thun London was in view by a place called Mount Manisty which is the slag heap from the original canal cutting. A quick change of plans and this is the resulting shot.
After it had passed I still had enough time to fly the drone and checked the drone assist app. The area is in a Controlled Traffic Region ( CTR, ) and I couldn't remember if you are allowed to fly in a CTR so decided against it and made the mile or so ride home.
As it happens you can fly in a CTR. I also checked this ship and it was outbound for Amsterdam, which then got me checking oil pipelines, which then had me checking the entire European pipelines from Russia and Azerbaijan across Poland, The Czech Republic and Germany into Holland. I also checked the draught of this ship ( 6.5m ) and the depth of the canal at this point is 28 feet. So it's clearance from the bottom of the canal is only about the height of an average bloke. I then discovered the MSC is tidal up to Latchford near Warrington and ships of this size can only use the canal for a few hours either side of high tide.
All of which is fascinating to a pedant like me but probably inherently boring to most. And all of which I'd forgot and had to go trawling the internet to find the info out again before posting.
It's a long day when you take your exercise so early but worth it in the end.

. . . & quite a few other peaks including a distant Bidean nam Bian over to the left.
Taken on the same day as my last upload, this, I remember, was one of those 'wished I'd been here some hours earlier at sunrise' moments.
An epic scene nonetheless, I can only dream of how this vast expanse would have looked lit by the warm tones of an emergent sun.

Reminded me of an aerial shot of another planet as I stood by the old apple tree at the bottom of the garden. The gnarled, heavily textured trunk a landscape in its own right. There may be a few more of these to come!

Where are you?
Blue

Where are you?
There is a sound on the other side of this wall
A burning singing on the other side of this wall
Footsteps
Concealed
Silences preserving our voice
Walking in the wind at the water's edge
Comes close to covering my rubber feet
Listening to the barbed wire hanging
There is a sound on the other side of this wall
A burning singing on the other side of this wall
Footsteps
Concealed
Silences preserving our voice
Your rails
You're thin
Your thin paper wings
Your thin paper wings
In the wind, dangling
Your sun, fly high
Your windows shattered in the wind
Rattling, rattling

Homeless trees gathering
Outside your window bootleg babies call to you and lie among the mosquitoes
That summer's fever coming
Cats are gathering outside your window
Homeless trees
Bootleg babies call to you and lie among the mosquitoes
Your rails

I made a drawing for you to find
I left it against the toughened grass
Where the land slides
They were for you, only you
Where are you?
There is a sound on the other side of this wall
A burning singing on the other side of this glass
Footsteps
Concealed
Silences returning our voice
Why are you always dragging me?
Do you ever stop to think?
And when you do, what comes out?
Walking in the wind at the water's edge
Comes close to covering my rubber feet
Listening to the barbed wire hanging
As I read these marks
Where you first found me
I wonder how long that would be
And will I still be here
Walking in the wind at the water's edge
Comes close to covering my rubber feet
Listening to the barbed wire hanging
There is a sound on the other side of this glass
A burning singing on the other side of this glass
Footsteps
Concealed
Silences returning our voice
