Grün wirkt beruhigend und natürlich. Psychologisch gesehen verbinden wir mit Grün Leben, Natur, Zufriedenheit, Glück und Hoffnung aber auch Unreife und Gift. Hier an einem Sommermotiv in meiner neuen Heimat dargestellt. Mein Weg in das Büro nach Hamburg führt über diese Straße und ich habe dieses Motiv seit einiger Zeit im Kopf.
Green has a calming and natural effect. Psychologically, we associate green with life, nature, contentment, happiness and hope, but also immaturity and poison. Shown here on a summer motif in my new home. My way to the office in Hamburg leads over this street and I've had this photo in my head for some time.
Please comment
it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment :-)

0 C. Amsterdam glum and dark. But looking to the west I saw a glimmer of light on the horizon. And soon a train took me to Zandvoort where I walked on the beach by a tranquil sea in a little bit of sunlight.
Tranquil indeed here. But there's a great turmoil about this sea in the Divorce Proceedings between Great Britain and the European Union. The point at issue: how 'free' is this sea for fishermen on either side of the Brexit. Although the economic value of 'fishery' is only a very small percentage of the economies of all these lands, the psychological issue is of far greater importance.
It appears they'll be slugging it out this week, the PM of Great Britain - coming especially to Brussels for the 'match' - and the President of the EC.
But back to tranquillity...
By breaking his word, by refusing the diplomatic route, by choosing war, President Putin has not only attacked Ukraine. He has decided to carry out the most serious attack on peace, on stability in our Europe. To this act of war, we will respond without weakness, with composure, determination and unity.

The Apocalypse Road Trip. Something about being under quarantine starts to drive me a little bat shit crazy. In RL We are bombarded all day with a digital deluge of virus-related horror stories. It gets a bit overwhelming in time. So Kwai and I are going to engage in a bit of psychological immersion as we take a virtual tour of some of the places within SL engaging in their own doomsday spectacles. So from time to time come along with us and 'Deady Bear' as we venture into the darkness.
If we get the right information from our society during development, and if our body do chemical, physical, biological and psychological functions well, we do well.
For those of you suffering under the heat wave...
It's a little bit less warm here today, fortunately, and I try to cool down my place as much as possible before the heat will strike again tomorrow.
The photo is of the Great Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland, the largest glacier in the Alps. Like most glaciers on the planet it is a retreating glacier, its ice thinning out faster every year.
Traveling along a little-used country road at sunset in open country is one of the simple pleasures in life.

We all have families and friends that we love. Surely before starting a war, or even considering continuing a war, a person should evaluate the devastation left behind after the war.
War causes the destruction of physical infrastructure, the psychological well-being of children, those fighting in the war, and those left under the bombing. The destruction of families, both psychologically and through death. The scarcity of food and general products. It interferes and can destroy general transit, interferes with the education of children, caring for the sick and the elderly. Leaving many homeless.
Finances are very tight after the war. In other words, life is totally changed for the worse for quite a long time after a war, basically all for nothing. Usually started in the name of tyrannical power and wealth. There is nothing good about war, everything is good and possible about peace. In peace life still has its ups and downs but not by force and democracy has its legitimate place.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day and spread love and kindness! ❤️❤️❤️

Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon that makes a simple sound or image into something far more noteworthy. The human brain is masterful in organizing visual data into meaningful and significant shapes. It is a way to make sense of random or ambiguous patterns where none really exists. Some common examples are seeing animals in clouds, monsters in cracks on the wall, or gnarly faces on tree trunks.
As a Mommy to eleven, I see a smiling face of a beautiful black cat! This is an antique round wrought iron mirror frame. I don't think it originally was a frame, but I have had it for years and it has a little round mirror in the center.
Happy Smile on Saturday!:-)
Looks like things are psychologically, physiologically, and terminologically aligned for me to go to Secaucus tonight with the Mamiya 23, both lenses, and 3 rolls of Portra 400.
In the meantime, here's one from a fun trip I had with Ralph last August....
ETA:
For various reasons I haven't been that present on Flickr lately and ... will be on here more often, I hope.
*Working Towards a Better World
This is a collage done on felt depicting the psychological effects on people throughout the world due to war.
Do you remember that psychological thriller by Edgar Allen Poe, 'The Tell-Tale Heart' (1843)? Recall the element of time between the thumping of the murderer's heart and the imagined heart of his victim hidden under his floor boards...
Well, if you do, then you will understand immediately what went through my own mind when I saw this scene. This photo was taken 'through' the old clock of the famous railway station Gare d'Orsay, now a wonderful musuem. In the distance is one of Paris's many icons, the relatively new Basilica of the Sacred Heart...
The widowhood effect is the increase in the probability of a person dying during a relatively short period of time after their long-time spouse has died.
The pattern indicates a sharp increase in risk of death for the widower particularly, but not exclusively, in the three months after the death of their spouse. This process has also been called "dying of a broken heart".
Being widowed leads to an increased likelihood of developing severe mental disorder. This can be partially attributed to the unanticipated decisions widows have to make with regards to the death of their spouse. Responses of grief and bereavement due to the loss of a spouse increases vulnerability to psychological and physical illnesses.
Knowing you are not alone doesn't seem to make it any easier. Life does seem to loose a purpose and the feeling of being surplus to requirements is not helped by retirement.
I can see why some widowers "just give up".

For many years I have collected various found objects from thrift shops, old homestead and mining sites, and on hikes around the southwest. I no longer take artifacts and leave them where found and go visit those with personal meaning on a regular basis. Rearranging the pixels in this image into this "basket" made me realize that I can receive the same visual and psychological stimuli from these photographic mandalas rather than having to physically create them. I particularly like the coming together of the grasses at the lower center and the threaded points that curl up into the openings of the horizontal branch that spans the center.
Key Point: "You must increase your awareness of your psychological states before your can control your thoughts and feelings." R.S. Weinberg & D. Gould
"The broken are the more evolved" - The Beast
That is a quote from the incredible movie "Split" as spoken by "The Beast" played by the phenomenal James McAvoy. When The Beast sees the scars on Casey Cooke's (Anya Joy Taylor) arms and realises they are somewhat alike. The Beast sees the evidence of suffering upon Casey's skin. Ironically, self injury I always thought made the person lucky in one respect, their suffering is not invisible, why would I say that? Because depression unlike the expression of psychological trauma, is completely unseen.
And yes, I personally have and still do battle with depression, and yes, photography I found was the one and only thing that has a very powerful anaesthetising affect on my negative mindsets, which is why I loathe the Winter as I hate the cold. Funnily enough, Amateur Photographer Magazine ran an article on Mental Health & Photography, seems that there is very much a correlation between mental health and creative talents. For example, I knew a friend who was heavily Bi-Polar and yet he had incredible skills at weaving, floristry and making baskets, he was so quick at it as well.
My point of this is the following, depression is perhaps the most misunderstood mental health condition in the world. Many psychologists provide ineffective therapy, psychiatrists merely numb the pain with Big Pharma in their back pocket and many unqualified other's abandon those who suffer this infliction. If there is ever an expert on the subject of depression, it's the patients themselves, and thanks to the Elite's Global plan well underway, suicides are on the up.
There is one very invaluable thing you can do for someone who suffers from depression, show compassion. Absolutely show pure, bona-fide, unadulterated compassion, in its every endeavouring of the word in practice, put the person first, not your feelings, theirs and theirs alone, trust me, it's the best thing that can happen to them!
I Hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
Bronze portrait head of a mature man
From Delos (“Palaestra of Granite”)
Early 1st c. BC.
A Distinctively realistic face of an anonymous figure carrying the burden of ephemeral thoughts and everyday concerns. Wrinkles on the forehead, on the edges of the eyes, melancholic expression of a wet look, made more lively by the color variegation of the eyes, are characteristics that contrast the idealism of the classic rule.
The head of the man is inclined towards his left shoulder. The hair, in small curly locks, frames the fleshy face of a mature man. The inlaid eyes gaze upwards and into the distance. The modelling of the flesh in many planes attests to a great sculptor.
The portrait is unique because on the one hand it is in the “psychological” style of Demosthenes, on the other hand it is one of a heroic demeanor, like the ones of Alexander the Great, combined with an expressive facial treatment.
Both the perspective of capture and the editing were made with respect in the magnificent art of this classical Masterpiece.
On my picture above; small green-aliens are giving a gift to inhabitants of other planet!
According the online information, gift-giving is a surprisingly complex and important part of human interaction, helping to define relationships and strengthen bonds with family and friends. Indeed, psychologists say it is often the giver, rather than the recipient, who reaps the biggest psychological gains from a gift.
David is a life-size marble sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The sculpture was one of many commissions to decorate the villa of Bernini's patron Cardinal Scipione Borghese – where it still resides today, as part of the Galleria Borghese. It was completed in the course of eight months from 1623 to 1624.
The subject of the work is the biblical David, about to throw the stone that will bring down Goliath, which will allow David to behead him. Compared to earlier works on the same theme (notably the David of Michelangelo), the sculpture broke new ground in its implied movement and its psychological intensity.
Between 1618 and 1625 Bernini was commissioned to undertake various sculptural work for the villa of one of his patrons, Cardinal Scipione Borghese. In 1623 – only yet 24 years old – he was working on the sculpture of Apollo and Daphne, when, for unknown reasons, he abandoned this project to start work on the David. According to records of payment, Bernini had started on the sculpture by mid–1623, and his contemporary biographer, Filippo Baldinucci, states that he finished it in seven months.
David was Scipione Borghese's last commission for Bernini. Even before it was finished, Bernini's friend and protector Maffeo Barberini was elected pope, as Pope Urban VIII.
Chester Cathedral and Chester Visual Arts present ‘Our Colour Reflection’ by international artist, Liz West. The installation creates a conversation between the viewer and the setting using hundreds of mirrors made of coloured acrylic.
West creates vivid environments that mix luminous colour and radiant light. Working across a variety of mediums, West aims to provoke a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer through her works. She is interested in exploring how sensory phenomena can invoke psychological and physical responses that tap into our own deeply entrenched relationships to colour.
Open Monday to Saturday: 9am – 5pm, Sunday: 11am – 4pm
FREE ENTRY – generous donations welcome
