It's doubly humbling when you realize that everything in the purple slice is bacteria!

Amsterdam, 2013

If you wander over to the taxi stand, you get a better idea of this image hiding the work as a building was taken down between the train station and the mall (one of France's largest).

Taken quite a long time ago, just processed it today. Location: Taman Tasik Taiping, Perak.

The tree and the bench makes a composition with contrast. They are placed in the golden ratio. The bench is almost in a birds eyeview. And the top of the tree is almost in frog perspective.

Our reality changes, once viewed from different angles.

a heavenly tilted perspective from under da pier....@ my fav beach in san diego, california...my special place dat i find sacred & love..

^i^

Every part of this country is sacred to my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove has been hallowed by some fond memory or some sad experience of my tribe. Even the rocks, which seem to lie dumb as they swelter in the sun along the silent shore in solemn grandeur, thrill with memories of past events connected with the fate of my people. ---Chief Seattle, SUQUAMISH

Native people say the Earth is sacred. Some places on Earth will feel more sacred than others. You can often feel the sacredness of these places because of what has happened on them. If you do a ceremony on a certain place and return later, whatever happened before will still be there to help you. Even if someone you didn't know did something on the Earth and you come along later, the powers will be there to help you. This is why the Earth is sacred and these special places are sacred spots. My Creator, let the powers of the sacred places help the people today.

I walked across an empty land

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand

I felt the earth beneath my feet

Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me?

Is this the place we used to love?

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Amsterdam

This simulated perspective view shows Occator Crater, measuring 57 miles (92 kilometers) across and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) deep, which contains the brightest area on Ceres. This region has been the subject of intense interest since Dawn's approach to the dwarf planet in early 2015. This view, which faces north, was made using images from Dawn's low-altitude mapping orbit, 240 miles (385 kilometers) above Ceres.

Dawn's close-up view reveals a dome in a smooth-walled pit in the bright center of the crater. Numerous linear features and fractures crisscross the top and flanks of this dome. Prominent fractures also surround the dome and run through smaller, bright regions found within the crater. The central dome area is called Cerealia Facula and the dimmer bright areas are called Vinalia Faculae.

Today was an amazing day. I have seen the statue of liberty many times and have taken many pictures of it. I must say, however that this is, by far the best shot I have ever taken. I love the perspective of this shot. The people in this photograph make it very special.

Taken for Assignment 52, Perspective challenge (#6 for the week for interestingness)

Portrait of my precious Dade County Pine. It is the tallest tree in my yard. It reaches high into the sky, and is very old and very strong. It took a lightning strike 3 years ago, and saved my house from burning down. We had many electrical items "fried" and mirrors cracked and all sorts of weird stuff, from the electricity- but no fire. The poor tree is quite scarred and damaged, but still alive. I touch it and thank it every day. I called out arborists to check it, and they kept saying, "He's a big guy, he's a big guy. Maybe he'll be okay." I hope he will. Some of the upper branches are still dying off from the lightning strike. I love the reslience of this tree, and it's protective nature and strength.

South Florida used to be full of Dade County Pines, but many of them died after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Their root systems were damaged by all the debris that hit the ground around them. My three Dade County pines had their root systems protected by my deck that surrounds them, and they lived. Now they are rare survivors. I sure hope this one makes it.

An interesting perspective of two really strange palm trees in front of In-n-Out.

2. Perspective. Things that are close are big. Things that are far away are little. Yes -- that's an over-simplification. But you get the idea, right?
