Patterns in our daily life

Esta noche, amiga mía,
el alcohol nos ha embriagado...
¡Qué importa que se rían
y nos llamen los mareados!
Cada cual tiene sus penas
y nosotros las tenemos...
Esta noche beberemos
porque ya no volveremos
a vernos más...
Los Mareados [Tango]
Gracias a Miguel Angel (www.flickr.com/photos/18186142@N05/) que me dio la idea para poner un título a la imagen.
Spittal beach in Northumberland has some wonderfully patterned rock formations which lend themselves nicely to a bit of abstract art
Very sadly many years ago my Great grandfather was washed up on these shores, after losing his life in the Eyemouth fishing disaster on October 14th 1881
It was known as Black Friday, the UK's worst ever fishing disaster.
189 men lost their lives, including my Great grandfather, his son, his brother and two of his wife's brothers. Eyemouth alone lost 129 menfolk and many of their families had watched on in vain, as the boats had tried desperately to return to harbour
They had put to sea that day as money was short and they needed to pay the tithe demanded by the Church of Scotland. Twenty six boats in total were engulfed by the storm that arose that day. A storm of extraordinary violence
There was an occasional miraculous story, when days later a boat limped into harbour, having beaten the storm but left those onboard traumatised
The Eyemouth museum has a tapestry, depicting the scene, with details of all those lost.

An attempt to make a shot of the whole frontside of the staircase of the Academie voor Muziek, Woord en Dans (Academy for Music, Word and Dance) in Mortsel (Belgium), I had to hold my camera this way ;-)
In 'Blueprint' you can see the "normal" position ;-))
This is a shoe sole from my favorite footwear. Espadrilles, perfect for the summer and comfortable !

Spring.
There are about 500 species in Australia with about half of them yet undescribed.
I found these very hard to photograph because of their shiny shell, lots of reflections. In my Australian Woolly Bush!

"Dieses Gewächs … gleicht dem Menschen. Es hat eine Haut, das ist die Rinde; sein Haupt und Haar sind die Wurzeln; es hat seine Figur und seine Zeichen, seine Sinne und seine Empfindlichkeit im Stamme..."

...was übrig bleibt, wenn der Sturm ihn entwurzelt zu Boden wirft.

Monzogranite Rock is formed when molten liquid, heated by the continuous movement of Earth's crust, seeps upward and cools while still below the surface. This plutonic intrusion yields a granitic rock called monzogranite. Monzogranite is often distinguished by rectangular joints.

All crossings are equal, but some crossings are more equal than others. As seen on a walk in London.
