Daiju visited the master Baso in China. Baso asked: "What do you seek?"
"Enlightenment," replied Daiju.
"You have your own treasure house. Why do you search outside?" Baso asked.
Daiju inquired: "Where is my treasure house?"
Baso answered: "What you are asking is your treasure house."
Daiju was enlightened! Ever after he urged his friends: "Open your own tresure house and use those treasures."

Lightwood Reservoir is an empty reservoir near the town of Buxton, Derbyshire, and associated wildlife reserve. Formerly operated by Severn Trent Water, the land is now owned by Nestlé and is the source of their Pure Life bottled water.
(From my own archived photos, 2022)
Tiermes was a Celtiberian city located on the borders of the head of the Duero valley on the upper plateau and the Tagus valley, at more than 1200 meters above sea level.
It was a Celtiberian oppidum and then a municipium of the Roman Empire (whose name was Termes, and the gentilic of its inhabitants, Termestinos). It was an ally of Numancia during the Celtiberian wars.
During the 12th century, a Romanesque-style church and a monastery were built, although the settlement of Tiermes lost its importance compared to the nucleus of Caracena, which became the seat of the community of town and land.
The exact date of construction of the church is unknown, although there is an inscription with the date 1182 and the name of Domingo Martín.
During the 16th century, the area was depopulated and the church was transformed into a hermitage dedicated to Santa María de Tiermes.
The porticoed gallery seen in the photo has five openings.
It has two entrances, one from the south, through the central opening (which is not aligned with the access door to the nave), and another from the east.
The openings are semicircular arches resting on twin columns, which are supported by a podium. (Source: Wikipedia)
GALERIA PORTICADA, ERMITA DE TIERMES, 2022
(De mis propias fotos archivadas, 2022)
Tiermes fue una ciudad celtíbera emplazada en los límites de la cabecera del valle del Duero en la meseta superior y el valle del Tajo, a más de 1200 metros de altitud.
Fue un oppidum celtibérico y luego municipium del imperio romano (cuyo nombre era Termes, y el gentilicio de sus habitantes, termestinos). Fue aliada de Numancia durante las guerras celtibéricas.
Durante el siglo XII se construyó una iglesia de estilo románico y un monasterio, si bien el poblamiento de Tiermes perdió su importancia frente al núcleo de Caracena, constituido en sede de la comunidad de villa y tierra.
Se desconoce la fecha exacta de construcción de la iglesia, si bien existe una inscripción con la fecha de 1182 y el nombre de Domingo Martín.
Durante el siglo XVI, la zona se despobló y la iglesia se transformó en una ermita bajo la advocación de Santa María de Tiermes.
La galería porticada que se ve en la foto tiene cinco vanos.
Tiene dos accesos, uno por el sur, a través del vano central (el cual no se encuentra alineado con la puerta de acceso a la nave), y otro por el este.
Los vanos son arcos de medio punto que descansan sobre columnas geminadas, las cuales se apoyan en un podio. (Fuente: Wikipedia).

Limestone Quarry in Faxe, Zealand.
It is hard to imagine, that 20,000 years ago, this area was covered by massive ice.
63 million years of history, exposed by Denmarks largest man-made hole in the ground: A 110 acre open quarry that has been the site of limestone production for over 900 years.
See the Limestone Quarry album here:
“Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them – a mother’s approval, a father’s nod – are covered by moments of their own accomplishments.
It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.” —Mitch Albom

"That's why I eat a cheeseburger, drink a six-pack

Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall

Bordering on the insane."

🎶[Ro-Deo-Deo Cowboy(Jerry Jeff Walker)] 🎶
Yeah, I work all week just to make a draw,
Sometimes I don't ride 'em at all.
But I'm hooked in and I got to ride that train.
When I get down in that chute,
I can't keep from thinkin' about all that loot,
I'm a ro-do-o de-o de-o cowboy
Bordering on the insane.
That's why I drink a cheeseburger, eat a six-pack
Take a Darvon to kill the pain.
Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall,
I live through it to tell you 'bout it all.
I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy
Bordering on the insane.
Now, relax and take a deep breath or two
It's a one time shot and then you're through
Hang on, boy, and someday you'll have fame.
When they open up that gate
The bull takes off like a runaway freight
And you're a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy
Bordering on the insane.
That's why I eat a cheeseburger, drink a six-pack
Take a Darvon to kill the pain
Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall
I live through it just to talk about it all
I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy
Bordering on the insane.
The cobwebs sure are thick, what's goin' on?
I feel like all my circuits are blown.
I can't remember my number or name.
Gimme a beer or two and I'll feel fine,
'Least it's worked every other time
'cause I'm a rodeo de-o de-o de cowboy
Bordering on the insane.

The Lord knows His children and He knows exactly what they need and when they need it. So often I do not know or understand my own needs, but thanks be to the lord that He always knows them! He is a perfect Father and He bestows wonderful gifts to His children whom He loves. His love was shown on the cross where He gave His life for us that whoever believes in Him and repents of their sin will find life forever in Him.
The cheetah or hunting leopard (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx.
It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 110 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h in three seconds.
The adult cheetah weighs from 40 to 65 kg. Its total body length is from 115 to 150 cm, while the tail can measure up to 85 cm in length. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads. The cheetah's chest is deep and its waist is narrow. The coarse, short fur of the cheetah is tan with round black spots measuring from 2 to 3 cm across, affording it some camouflage while hunting. There are no spots on its white underside, but the tail has spots, which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. The cheetah has a small head with high-set eyes.
There are several geographically isolated populations of cheetah, all of which are found in Africa or Southwestern Asia. The cheetah likes to live in an open biotope, such as semi-desert, prairie, and thick brush, though it can be found in a variety of habitats.
______________________________
De jachtluipaard, gepard of cheeta(h) (Acinonyx jubatus) is een groot katachtig roofdier dat nog voorkomt in Afrika en Iran. Het is de enige nog levende soort uit het geslacht Acinonyx.
De jachtluipaard is met een maximum snelheid van 110 à 120 km het snelste landdier ter wereld. De kat is aangepast aan jagen met een korte, zeer snelle sprint. In drie seconden rent het dier van stilstand naar 110 km. Hij is als een hazewindhond slank, flexibel en gespierd gebouwd met een krachtige borst, een lange staart en voor een katachtige zeer lange poten, waarmee hij zich kan afzetten.
Een volwassen jachtluipaard heeft een licht gele vacht, die bedekt is met kleine, ronde, zwarte vlekken. De onderzijde en borst zijn bijna geheel wit. De kop is vrij klein, met kleine oren en grote, oranje ogen. Het voorhoofd en de wangen hebben zeer kleine zwarte vlekken. Van de binnenste ooghoeken tot de mond loopt een zwarte streep, en ook de onderlippen zijn zwart.
De staart is gevlekt, maar heeft bij de top een reeks van zwarte ringen en eindigt in een zwarte staartpunt.
De vorm van de ringen en de hoeveelheid verschilt per individu, vergelijkbaar met de vingerafdruk voor de mens.
Een volwassen dier weegt tussen 35 en 65 kg, maar gemiddeld 50 kg. De kop-romplengte is 110 tot 150 cm, en de staart kan 65 tot 90 cm lang zijn. De schouderhoogte is gemiddeld 80 cm.
De jachtluipaard leeft in droge, open savannen en in gebieden met struiken. Hij kan overal overleven waar voldoende prooidieren zijn en het terrein open genoeg is om te kunnen rennen. Hij heeft een voorkeur voor gebieden met schuilplaatsen, vanwaar hij prooi kan besluipen.

Every season has its own particular colours, not just the leaves on the trees, but also the flowers, animals, food, Fashion, even humans...
Chrysanthemum: the big blooms often duo toned, collectively known as kotengiku or antique chrysanthemums.
A beautiful top view of the 'heart', the center, from where all the gold and red glory unfolds
Still a touch of the vibrant red and green of Summer and already the paler golds of Autumn.
Autumn is a season tinged with the beauty of colours and yet also with some nostalgia...
Another Summer gone, the 'dark' months upon us, with the season of light nearing!
Something to look forward to!
Have a blooming day and Autumn, thanks for your comments, M, (*_*)

Heydar Aliyev Centre, Baku, Azerbaijan
I'm pretty sure that everyone who reads this will have their own bucket list of goals and objectives, whether it be personal milestones or achievements, or a simple wish list of exotic places to visit... I'm sure you'll all have one tucked away somewhere. Anyone who hasn't or says they've completed theirs simply lacks imagination or isn't trying hard enough!
My own list is forever changing and growing and admittedly travel features heavily throughout it. One of my earliest ambitions was to fly on a jumbo jet, fly all the way around the world and visit Australia. I was lucky enough to do all three when I married Mrs R some 22 years ago... we still want to repeat those tick box items all over again... and some day hopefully we will!
I always wanted to go to Sydney to see the bridge and the Opera House. But like most things to see on the telly or in glossy travel magazines, nothing compares to seeing it for yourself and both have fuelled my interest in bridges and architecture ever since. I've always regarded the Sydney Opera House as the greatest 20th century architectural icon, so recognisable throughout the world and the benchmark for modern design. I'm sure architects will disagree and point out plenty of other icons but for me it's my icon.
But like I said, my list is forever changing and growing and there's a new kid on the block now - the Heydar Aliyev Centre. It's been on the list for six years and my sole reason for visiting Baku this year, which exceeded all expectations as well. I've plenty more to write about this building but for now I hope it's stirred a little interest.

Reach out and touch faith
My own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
My own personal Jesus
Someone to hear my prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And i'm all alone
Flesh and bone
-you make your own path as you walk.-

"(..)
Voyageur, le chemin
C'est les traces
de tes pas
C'est tout ; voyageur,
il n'y a pas de chemin,
Le chemin se fait en marchant
Le chemin se fait en marchant
Et quand tu regardes en arrière
Tu vois le sentier
Que jamais
Tu ne dois à nouveau fouler
Voyageur! Il n'y a pas de chemins
Rien que des sillages sur la mer"
Antonio Machado, poète espagnol (1875-1939)
"Traveler, your footprints
are the only road, nothing else.
Traveler, there is no road;
you make your own path as you walk.
As you walk, you make your own road,
and when you look back
you see the path
you will never travel again.
Traveler, there is no road;
only a ship's wake on the sea."
(White Pine Press; Translation © 2003 by Mary G. Berg and Dennis Maloney.)

... I didn't have the bug and the desire to get an iphone, and I am getting very anxious now. it will make flickring and facebooking a lot easier to incorporate in my daily life (in the spots they would fit best - like the 1 hour commute home... hubby's driving btw ;) waiting to find a free phone for paul to use until the new iphone comes out, since he REALLY wants to wait and get that new one. I think I will do plenty fine with this last generation iphone.
have a lovely Friday everyone!

After owning this camera for over a year, I finally began to figure out how to use the feature I bought it for, what Nikon calls focus shift shooting. (It enables the camera to automatically take a number of images, each focused slightly further from the camera, so they can be stacked - here in HeliconFocus software - with the result showing everything in focus.)
This image is the product of twenty images, and it will reward very close examination. I hope you enjoy this first of my focus stacking images half as much as I do, as I find it very exciting to begin to master an important new skill.

My own Original song was the inspiration for this picture:
You are a genuine friend with a heart of gold. ♥
We known each other for many years now.
We have been through so much together and have grown with and alongside each other, and I am so grateful for that.
Thank you for your time, your words, your strength, and your love, my dear Wendy.
Thank you for seeing me and understanding me.
Thank you for being who you are.
This is for you, my lovely Wendy, because you are closer to me than anyone else. ♥
We started as whispers in a crowded room
Through laughter and storms we found our tune
Each scar a chapter in the story we spun
Time moves like rivers
Carving stone
But somehow
You’ve always felt like home
Through the years
The tears
The cheers
We built a bridge
We faced our fears
Every moment
Every word
Every glance
A dance of time
A second chance
The seasons changed but you stayed the same
A lighthouse steady in the wildest waves
Your kindness a fire that kept me brave
We spoke in silences
In broken lines
Pieced together what the world left behind
And I’d do it all again
A thousand times
Through the years
The tears
The cheers
We built a bridge
We faced our fears
Every moment
Every word
Every glance
A dance of time
A second chance
Du bist eine echte Freundin mit einem Herzen aus Gold. ♥
Wir kennen uns nun schon seit vielen Jahren.
Wir haben so viel zusammen durchgemacht und sind miteinander und aneinander gewachsen, und dafür bin ich sehr dankbar.
Danke für deine Zeit, deine Worte, deine Kraft und deine Liebe, meine liebe Wendy.
Danke, dass du mich siehst und verstehst.
Danke, dass du bist, wie du bist.
Das ist für dich, meine liebe Wendy, denn du stehst mir näher als jeder andere. ♥
Wir begannen als Flüstern in einem überfüllten Raum.
Durch Lachen und Stürme fanden wir unseren Ton.
Jede Narbe ist ein Kapitel in der Geschichte, die wir gesponnen haben.
Die Zeit fließt wie ein Fluss,
der Stein formt.
Aber irgendwie
hast du dich immer wie ein Zuhause angefühlt.
Durch die Jahre,
die Tränen,
den Jubel
haben wir eine Brücke gebaut.
Wir haben uns unseren Ängsten gestellt.
Jeder Moment,
jedes Wort,
jeder Blick,
ein Tanz der Zeit,
eine zweite Chance.
Die Jahreszeiten wechselten, aber du bist dieselbe geblieben.
Ein Leuchtturm, der selbst in den wildesten Wellen standhaft blieb.
Deine Güte war ein Feuer, das mich mutig hielt.
Wir sprachen in Stille,
in abgebrochenen Zeilen,
setzten zusammen, was die Welt zurückgelassen hatte.
Und ich würde alles wieder tun,
tausend Mal.
Durch die Jahre,
die Tränen,
den Jubel,
bauten wir eine Brücke.
Wir stellten uns unseren Ängsten.
Jeder Moment,
jedes Wort,
jeder Blick,
ein Tanz der Zeit,
eine zweite Chance.
