Brené Brown: "Stay in your own lane. Comparison kills creativity and joy". Brown says that swimming is a reminder to stay in her own lane, and that comparison and competing ruin her swim.
I wrote this in March last year, and rediscovered it today:
"I turn my head to look at you, and I notice how I perceive you differently. Your profile, your gaze when you feel unobserved, the way you remind yourself that you're here and you're tired and a little drunk, but you're here. And so am I, here with you, here with us, the way we turned out to be. And as I smile at you without you noticing, without anyone noticing, I realise how what I do, what I've become, isn't for anyone but me.
And quietly, I decide that this is my place to be, the right one for me, and to grow, in a way I thought I'd never turn out to be."

Whoever owns this old school keeps up pretty good. During the holidays they even had Christmas wreaths in the two front windows. How many old schools would you find that the outhouse was still in the yard? This located along the Skyline/Mill Creek Scenic Drive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism. Only love can touch and hold them and be fair to them.
Nothing touches a work of art so little as words of criticism: they always result in more or less fortunate misunderstandings. Things aren't all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet ~

The vision of the center of this mandala beleaguered me in the same night when I completed Kabeirô – and I even was told its name: Worlds within Worlds.
Instantly, I sensed a profound aversion to both the image and the name, and for about one week, I refused to start with the work on the mosaic.
Then, one sleepless night, I had another vision which was very weird: before I saw anything, I had the sensation that my body was a tremendous, overdimensioned black sphere which had a very small white sphere in its midpoint; not till then, I saw the image of the black sphere, but somehow two-dimensional (onyl the small white sphere in the center was three-dimensional), but I knew that my body – more precisely: my whole self – and the image were one and the same, and that something with it was quite wrong.
Then, after some frightening minutes or hours (I really don't know), another image arose: a white sphere, much smaller than the black one, and with a small black sphere in its middle. This white sphere was outside of my body, I only could see but not sense it, and the feeling of something quite wrong got stronger, and very scary.
The third image which arose after another frightening minutes or hours, was exactly the same I already had seen after I had completed Kabeirô: Taigitu, the symbol of life itself as well as the symbol of the polarity which forms the basis of everything in this wonderful and appalling world.
Not until then, when Taigitu arose, I understood what was wrong with the first two images: the black and the white sphere were meant to compose ONE sphere: a complete whole INSIDE myself.
On the following day, I started working on the mosaic, for I was completely aware of the NECESSITY of creating it. I just had one wish: that I was allowed to find a second name for the mandala which was concordant with my longing for staying integrated in the world of Greek mythology.
I worked on the mosaic from sunrise to sunset, and late in the night, I finally got to know the name I could welcome from the bottom of my heart: Kybele.
Kybele (English: Cybele), the great God mother of the mountain Ida (Latin: Magna Mater), was a goddess who originally was deified in Phrygien, together with her lover Attis, and later also in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. The cult of Kybele and Attis was – similar as the cult of Mithras – a widespread mystery cult up to the Late Classic Period. The whole legend concerns apparently the gender dualism; it explains the origin of the world by an interaction of the male and the female element of the universe: the heavenly Attis must inseminate the mother earth Kybele with its blood so that the world can arise.
The mandala is not yet completed; I suppose that it's going to be quite huge and that I'll work on it for a couple of weeks, but I don't know definitely... – well, we will see. ;-)

The three houses were owned by members of the Skolfield family who were very prominent in Brunswick in the 1800's. The following is from the Pejepscot Museum (housed in the building on the right) website. The house in the center has primarily offices of various businesses.
Master George Skolfield (1780-1866)
The patriarch of the family, George Skolfield was an expert ship builder. His primary yard was located four miles outside of Brunswick on Harpswell Sound. He oversaw the construction of sixty freighting ships in his lifetime, all of which had the reputation of being “safe, slow, and sound”. By the mid nineteenth century, Master George was one of the wealthiest men in Maine. Along with building ships, he wished to build the reputation of his sons. To that end, he purchased land on Park Row, across from the Brunswick Green. This was the area of town where the social elite lived. He built an enclave of Skolfield homes at the geographic center of Brunswick’s high society.
For me, making my own magic is a mindset. Choosing hope, seeing the beauty in every day things, and choosing to focus on the stuff that makes me happy makes life magical for me.

I finally sewed my own mouth - nose protection, as there haven't been any in the drugstore for weeks.
I can wash my face mask. Whether it protects me is discussed on the Internet and the media, in any case it protects my surroundings when I cough or sneeze.
My family recommended this pattern to me, but there are others too.

Owned by the Adrian & Blissfield Railroad, the Jackson & Lansing (JAIL) is a shortline running about 50 miles from Jackson to Lansing, MI. Operating a leased NS branch line, they interchange with NS at Jackson and CN & CSX at Lansing.
The railroad's headquarters and shop are located at Mason, less than 15 miles south of Lansing. Here, a northbound train is staged in Mason with one of the recently repainted Adrian & Blissfield locomotives (JAIL doesn't own any engines themselves). ADBF 822 is actually a native Michigander, having started life for the Detroit, Toledo, & Ironton as DTI 410.

Owned by R&R Realty in Des Moines and designed by David Dahlquist from RDG Dahlquist Art Studio, the Paragon Prairie Tower was created to provide a new destination icon for the state of Iowa and to pay homage to the native tall grass prairies that once covered much of what today is Iowa farmland. The Des Moines Marble & Mantel Co. installed 1.8 million pieces of 5/8” x 5/8” mosaic glass tiles with the LATICRETE System in trying circumstances, which included wind, rain, humidity and extreme heights. The 118-foot Paragon Prairie Tower is a true masterpiece from conception to installation, quickly becoming recognized as one of America’s signature tile installations.
Outside, the rain and snow mix together to create sleet and the storm's going hard. But its days like these that we like to curl up in our own little corner at home and read together. I love the sound of the storm but I love the sound of his voice more.
Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what i was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone i really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "please adore me"
And when i looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Sometimes, fireworks don't explode where you expect them... Thanks to photoshop, I develop my own technique to put them where I want them to be plus combining this with my DRI technique.
Parfois les feux d'artifices n'explosent pas toujours là où on voudrait... Grâce à photoshop, j'ai développé ma technique qui me permet de les mettre là où je les veux en la combinant à ma technique DRI.

My technique is alway the same:
Three exposures -2EV, 0, +2EV and then temperature adjustement using Lightroom and layering with luminosity mask using photoshop. Removal of distracting stuff with the stamp tool or patch tool. High pass filter to enhance details. Then saturation, contrast selectively control, dodge and burn where need...
DRI stand for Dynamic Range Increase. Three RAW files are used to achieve this. Rather than using a software like Photomatix for instance, I simply use mask to blend, my own way, the light, dark and normal shot with Photoshop and Lightroom.. To me, It looks more natural than the usual HDR treatment that I would normally applied.
Merci pour les visites, commentaires, récompenses, invitations et favoris. S.V.P. n'utilisez pas mes images sur des sites web, blogs ou autres médias sans ma permission.

Ma technique est toujours la même:
Trois prises de vue -2EV, 0, +2EV. Ensuite ajustement de la température de couleur avec Lightroom et usage de calques et masques de luminosités avec Photoshop. Retrait d'éléments de distraction avec l'outil tampon. Filtre High pass pour le rehaussement des détails. Ensuite saturation et contraste ajustés de façon sélectives et locales. Dodge and burn là où requis...
DRI vient de l'anglais Dynmic Range Increase, qui pourrait se traduire par étendue dynamique améliorée. Les même 3 fichiers RAW entrent dans la composition d'un DRI. Plutôt que de se servir d'un logiciel comme Photomatix qui fait tout le travail, je me sers plutôt de masques pour filtrer l'éclairage dans photoshop et Lightroom. De mon point de vue, cette façon de faire donne une image plus naturel que le traitement HDR que j'employais auparavant.

"The creative force and the expressiveness of painting reside materially in the color and texture of pigment, in the possibilities of form invention and organization, and in the flat plane on which these elements are brought to play. The artist is concerned solely with linking these absolute qualities directly to his wit, imagination and experience, without the go-betweens of a 'subject.' Working on a single plane as the instantaneous visualizing factor, he realizes his mind motives and physical sensations in a permanent and universal language of color, texture, and form organization. He uncovers the pure plane of expression that has so long been hidden by the glazings of nature imitation, anecdote and other popular subjects. Accordingly the artist's work is to be measured by the vitality, the invention, and the definiteness and conviction of purpose within his own medium."

Rail Adventure owned 43484 brings up the rear of the 5Z46 1436 Laira to Chaddesden. 43465 was at the helm, together they were moving 9 cross country Mk3s, what their fate holds i am not sure.
As for my exploits, i found myself back at my new favorite spot in North Somerset trying to get a shot of something interesting crossing the Huntspill River near Highbridge in full sunshine. It was looking promising up until 20 secs before the train arrived when a grey cloud parked itself in front of the sun, typical.This was the 2nd time in a day that mother nature did not cooperate. Looks like i will have to try this shot again.

As the old legend says, there were three brothers - Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv and their sister Lybid…They founded the medieval city in the name of their eldest brother and named the city Kyiv, which eventually became the capital of Kievan Rus' and present-day Ukraine.
This monument was opened in May 2017.
The founders of Kyiv are depicted as small children. The composition consists of four bronze figurines of babies. Three boys - Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv are playing with paper ships on the stylized map of Kyiv, which is the basis of the composition.
There is a hidden symbolism in the paper boats that the three brothers launch on the Dnipro. According to the author Volodymyr Zhuravel: “A ship is a symbol of the soul. Everyone has their own ship. Someone holds it, someone lets it go, and someone has already let it go."
Kyi’s figure looks the tallest - his hands are raised up. Shchek is carefully looking at the boat in his hands. Khoryv is launching his boat on the Dnipro. The figure of the little girl - sister Lybid, can not be noticed right away. She is sitting a little to the side on a bronze bench, watching her brothers.
