The color scarlet is powerful
so treat it well, waste it not
as the world turns scarlet
don’t hide from your fears, face them
make life worthwhile
scarlet can be inspiring to some
or depressing for others
but whatever it may mean to you,
know it has room for change, just like life.

One of the most powerful weapons of mass liberty, that the human species in our present form possesses is the power of thought, the power of the mind, once led by the heart. It's a weapon even the CIA use (if you ever do your research), it's called Manifesting.
Right now we are facing the greatest threat our time, the overtaking of all our freedoms in the disguise of protection, haven't we heard this too many times before? Yea! That's because the human race needs constant reminders!
The only way to overthrow the continued erosion of our freedoms is for us as a unified spiritual force, to drop our pathetic differences and march together, throwing down the shackles, getting up off our knees! But the silence is deafening, so as awakened members of the future, I as we and we as ourselves as one can manifest the uprising and join the many more who exist in the mass awakening of the world, it is unavoidable and evil cannot and shall not prosper.
I'll leave that with you, I hope everyone is loved this weekend and so as always, thank you! :)

Andean Motmot (formerly known as Highland Motmot) is a species of the Andes Mountains of South America, found from central Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru into a small part of western Bolivia. They are beautifully colourful birds, with a racquet-tipped tail (seen off to the side in this image). As this photo shows, they also have powerful serrated mandibles. This individual was seen near Aguas Calientes, the Peruvian town close to the famous Inca site of Machu Picchu.
Þingvellir was the site of the Alþing, the annual parliament of Iceland from the year 930 until the last session held at Þingvellir in 1798. Since 1881, the parliament has been located within Alþingishúsið in Reykjavík.
Þingvellir is now a national park in the municipality of Bláskógabyggð in southwestern Iceland, about 40 km (25 miles) northeast of Iceland's capital, Reykjavík. Þingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological significance, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. The park lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. To its south lies Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.
Þingvellir National Park was founded in 1930, marking the 1000th anniversary of the Althing. The park was later expanded to protect the diverse and natural phenomena in the surrounding area, and was designated as a World Heritage Site in 2004.
Þingvellir became a national park as a result of legislation passed in 1928 to protect the remains of the parliament site, thus creating the first national park in Iceland. The park was decreed "a protected national shrine for all Icelanders, the perpetual property of the Icelandic nation under the preservation of parliament, never to be sold or mortgaged.
According to the Book of Settlements (Landnámabók), the settlement of Iceland began in 874, when the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first permanent Norwegian settler on the island. Over the next centuries, people of Norse and Celtic origin settled in Iceland. Early on, district assemblies were formed, but as the population grew, there was a need for a general assembly. The descendants of Ingólfur who dominated the region of southwest Iceland had become the most powerful family in the country, and other chieftains felt a need for a general assembly to limit their power.
Grímur Geitskör was allotted the role of rallying support and finding a suitable location for the assembly. At about the same time, the owner of Bláskógar (the contemporary name for the Þingvellir region) was found guilty of murder. His land was declared public, and then obligated to be used for assembly proceedings, and the building of temporary dwellings, and the forest to be used for kindling and the grazing of horses. The Þingvellir area was chosen for this reason and for its accessibility to the most populous regions of the north, south and west. The longest journey a goði (chieftain) had to travel was 17 days, from the easternmost part of the country where mountains and glacial rivers proved bothersome obstacles.
The foundation of the Icelandic parliament is said to be the founding of the nation of Iceland, and the first parliamentary proceedings in the summer of 930 laid the ground for a common cultural heritage and national identity. Þingvellir played a central role in the history of the country, and its history runs almost parallel with the history of the Icelandic Commonwealth.
As I call upon the Old Ones, I can feel the power begin to course through me. Sparks leap around me, and I grin as the magic grows. Soon I will be all powerful. Soon this demon shall have her revenge.

This Male Pileated Woodpecker was busy for over a month hollowing out it's nest cavity in our back yard. The pair had a successful nest and we were able to watch the whole nest cycle from nest excavating to observing the three littles as they were fed from the opening. It was a spring to remember! There is a pair setting up shop this spring in the same tree! (new hole)
Tried to make this P51 mustang look as powerful as it actually is. With it's massive Rolls Royce Merlin engine. 27 Liters V12... Simply an amazing machine.
I tried to create this whitebox effect. I got a couple of more shots coming up from this amazing aircraft in the same style!

( their liquid lifes , catch their movements, their longs dream…)
Secretly they slip into their liquid lifes...
Behind them a powerful light catch their movements.
After this, they will come up to their longs dream...

Secretamente eles resvalam dentro das suas vidas líquidas...
Por detrás deles uma luz poderosa prende-lhes os movimentos.
Depois disto irão subir para seus longos sonhos...

My forever home
The forest surrounds me.
It holds me in its green leafy embrace.
It called me here away from sand and sun.
Ancient mountains called me home.
A powerful vortex opens here
Into a doorway to another dimension,
Mysterious and Magical,
Into a new time and space.
Clocks accelerate
As kindred spirits and I
Dance on the currents
Of a new Universal existence.
Did synchronicity, serendipity, or synergy
Draw us to this land of promise
To live in a State of mind:
"To be, rather than to seem"?
I live at an apogee of flux
encompassing creativity and spirituality.
My heart, mind, and being
Resonate with this land.
A mystical doorway opens
Into another dimension
Of my ever-changing
Universe, my forever home.

Playing With Light....
Christmas Eve Karen and I bundled up and made our way out into the falling snow, our plan was to capture some light painting shots of the snow fall and to try to be creative in the midst of a lockdown. this shot of Karen illuminating snowflakes falling in the park was a lot of fun to play with. I will post more shots of our adventure in the following days. keep posted. ..

One of the most fascinating aspects of meteorology is its interaction with landforms and geography in general.
A given flow, a given front, a given Low (pression) do not live on their own, but in the interaction they have with the earth's surface, loading themselves with moisture as they cross oceans, seas and large lakes and releasing it when they encounter barriers such as mountain ranges.
The mountain ranges create thermal contrasts and accumulate clouds on the windward slopes (stau), greatly increasing the rainfall on these slopes and limiting it (possible Foehn) on the leeward ones.
The higher and longer the chain, the more these phenomena are exacerbated.
Meteorology, in the interaction of tropospheric dynamics with the earth's surface, generates microclimates, i.e. particular and recurring meteorological trends over small areas which are markedly different (in rain-thermal terms) from the trend that should occur within the climatic belt to which the small area belongs and which differs from the others, even contiguous ones, according to the variations brought about by the orographic variables.
Meteorology is much, much more than the (complex and fascinating) weather forecasts, which "today" are computerized by powerful calculators which, starting from data taken in real time from weather stations all over the planet, issue a series of short and medium term projections on how the meteorological situation will evolve subsequently.
The wide angle lens is probably the most often used, but also misused, lens in landscape photography. It is a powerful lens, as long as it is used with forethought and for the right scenes. In my article I share with you useful tips for composing powerful wide angle images and I hope it encourages you to go out there and capture the beauty! Please feel free to read the article at this link. I hope you enjoy!
Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, short, thick hair, and a big chest and belly. Together with the fur seals, they comprise the family Otariidae, eared seals, which contains six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean. They have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 2.4 m (8 ft) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 1.8 m (6 ft) long. The largest sea lion is Steller's sea lion, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 3.0 m (10 ft). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 6.8–15.9 kg (15–35 lb)) at a single feeding. Sea lions can move around 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) in water and at their fastest they can reach a speed of about 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). Three species, the Australian sea lion, the Galápagos sea lion and the New Zealand sea lion, are listed as endangered. 61523
Dettifoss - Jökulsárgljúfur 20210720
ökulsárgljúfur is a canyon in Iceland that was once its national park; now, it is part of the greater Vatnajökull National Park. This ravine is best known for holding spectacular waterfalls.
Jökulsárgljúfur canyon is best known for being home to the most powerful waterfall in Europe, the almighty Dettifoss. With a water flow of 183 cubic meters per second, it is awe-inspiring, throwing off great plumes of mist and drenching those who get too close. Besides its strength, it is impressive in terms of its scale; the falls are about 100 meters wide, and 44 meters tall.
The river that Dettifoss is a part of is called the Jökulsá á Fjöllum, the second-longest river in Iceland. It holds two more waterfalls within Jökulsárgljúfur Canyon. Upriver from Dettifoss is Selfoss, Downriver is Hafragilsfoss.

Assateague Lighthouse, 142-foot-tall (43 m), is on the southern end of Assateague Island in Virginia portion.
Located within the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and operated by the U.S. Coast Guard and is still used as an active aid in navigation.
The original lighthouse was constructed in 1833 at a cost of ~ $55,000. In 1860, construction on a taller, more powerfully illuminated brick lighthouse began, but was delayed by the Civil War. After the war, work resumed and the lighthouse was completed in 1867.
The lighthouse is conical in shape and is painted in alternating bands of red and white.
A $1.5 million renovation was completed in October 2013.

Dettifoss is Europe's most powerful waterfall. It is only 45 metres tall and 100 metres wide. Its power lies in its volume discharge, with an average flow rate of 193 cubic metres per second. I hope the water's immense power comes through!

Wednesday night's sunset....I was prepping the pool for closure this upcoming weekend while keeping an eye on the sky. It got to about 7PM and I figured we might get a good one. It was windy this evening so a reflection with a pond was out of the question with too much water movement. So I had this shot that I imagined a couple weeks back that I would use when I have little time to decide where to go. So I packed my gear and headed to this location and was not disappointed with the sunset. It was a little weird standing under these power lines for about 45 minutes listening to the sizzle and pop when that much electricity flows through these lines.
Yes..... it was that bright with the yellows and oranges.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Excerpt from Marianne Williamsons Our deepest fear
The crevalle jack (Caranx hippos), also known as the common jack, black-tailed trevally, couvalli jack, black cavalli, jack crevale or yellow cavalli, is a common species of large marine fish classified within the jack family, Carangidae. The crevalle jack is distributed across the tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic Ocean, ranging from Nova Scotia, Canada to Uruguay in the west Atlantic and Portugal to Angola in the east Atlantic, including the Mediterranean Sea. It is distinguishable from similar species by its deep body, fin colouration and a host of more detailed anatomical features, including fin ray and lateral line scale counts. It is one of the largest fish in the genus Caranx, growing to a maximum known length of 124 cm and a weight of 32 kg, although is rare at lengths greater than 60 cm. The crevalle jack inhabits both inshore and offshore waters to depths of around 350 m, predominantly over reefs, bays, lagoons and occasionally estuaries. Young fish dispersed north by currents in the eastern Atlantic are known to migrate back to more tropical waters before the onset of winter; however, if the fish fail to migrate, mass mortalities occur as the temperature falls below the species' tolerance limits. The crevalle jack is a powerful, predatory fish, with extensive studies showing the species consumes a variety of small fish, with invertebrates such as prawns, shrimps, crabs, molluscs and cephalopods also of minor importance. 24642
