We know, you have two questions.
“Where are the Gypsies? The title promised us nomads!” and “Winnebago made a trailer”?
Chevrolet gave us the first station wagon that was “cool” in 1955. Gypsies, Hippies, Surfers and a few suburban families loved the Nomad. You may have also noticed, this one is one of those, “Sea Foam Emerald Jade Turquoise Green” cars talked about in a previous episode.
Winnebago was founded in 1958 but did not build its first motor home until 1966. That factoid is a bit hard to wrap one’s head around. The name is so closely associated with campers with engines, it seems odd to think they haven’t been around for longer. Much like “Kleenex” the name Winnebago has become the word we use for all motor homes.
If you see this combo out on the road beware, these are nomads, gypsies, hippies... They have customs that the town folk fear.

Anyway, in this region, you can make a photo every 5 meters. It is always beautiful. It is too much! They should share with other countries that have nothing to show (Chile, San Pedro de Atacama, May 2002)

Au cours d'une petite excursion classique depuis San Pedro de Atacama. Je crois que l'excursion en question s'appelait "Lagunas altiplanicas", et sur la photo, il doit s'agir de la laguna Miscanti, et au fond, les trois sommets sont le Cerro Miscanti (5.622 m), Cerro Chiliques (5.778 m) et le Cerro Lejia (5.793 m). Je venais d'acheter mon premier relex argentique, un Canon EOS30, et je débutais en quelque sorte.
“Where am I? Who am I? How did I come to be here? What is this thing called the world? How did I come into the world? Why was I not consulted? And If I am compelled to take part in it, Where is the director? I want to see him.” - Soren Kierkegaard (Danish Philosopher and Theologian. 1813-1855)
TGIF!!!

Bowtie Arch appears to be more of a pothole, but, as such, it does qualify to be called an arch. There is no question, however, as to its spectacular setting, carved out of colorful entrada sandstone so prevalent throughout Utah. Late day light here brings out the marvelous coloration of the surrounding cliffs and their "desert varnish" (manganese and iron oxides which coat the rocks and appear as dark vertical striations). Located within several miles of Arches National Park, Bowtie is located off Route 279, a very scenic road bounded by the Colorado River on one side and towering sandstone cliffs on the other. Due to its out of the way location and the moderately strenuous hike involved, this arch is relatively unknown and lightly visited - a shame, because it's one of my favorites in this area.

My grandson saw a frog on the water on the side of the boardwalk. When the frog disappeared, there was a question of which direction that it went.
Seasonally dimorphic, the fall form of this species with strong lavender edging and predominantly orange coloration on the dorsal hind wings will overwinter as an adult. It will be one of the earliest butterflies to fly in spring and may even be encountered on warm winter days in early February. This butterfly does not rely on floral nectar, but prefers to sip flowing tree sap, carrion and dung. Male butterflies love to puddle and are notoriously territorial meeting any intruder that enters their territory.

First judged event! Contestants were given a Callie Cline dress and told to accessorize to our liking. We were then asked an on stage question by various SL celebrities. We were scored on our look as well as our answer.
In a dream it would seem
I went to those who close the open door
And turning the key I sat and spoke to those
inside of me
They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
Where the moon was a star painted dancer
And the world was just a spectrum of light
They reached to my centre of reason
And pulled on the touchstone that's there
The shock of that light had me reeling
And I fell into the depths of despair
Turning the key I sat and spoke to those
inside of me
They answered my questions with questions
And they set me to stand on the brink
Where the sun and the moon were as brothers
And all that was left was to think
They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
And the power that bore me had left me alone
To figure out which way was right

What is reality? Is it an image? A reflection of an image? Or is it what we see?
Well... no to all of these. So the question remains an intriguing one. And the more I read about human perception the more intriguing it becomes: our minds don't see what our eyes do…
(And if, perchance, you find your curiosity piqued, ask yourself the question why are tiger and zebra stripes vertical and not horizontal. It’s not an accident and nor a creative whim, and the answer is relevant to photography too….)
This is for the Smile on Saturday group’s Reflection on Black theme.
It’s a visual tease of course. There are three questions in the puzzle:
What is it?
Which way is what?
Where’s the mirror?
All easy to answer, but if your eyes pause even for a moment as they work it out I will feel I have succeeded in my objective.
Curiously, for me, I found it much more obvious looking at the thumbnail than at the full-screen version. And that itself is a comment on our perception I think....
I read somewhere, and it’s true for me, that a photograph that takes the mind a little while to work out generally will be perceived as a more interesting one. And that is why we find record shots and clichéd images less engaging than the creative ones - sometimes just changing the viewpoint makes capture interesting (we all take our images at head height don’t we lol.)
This is part of a set I took 18 months ago, though I only processed this particular perspective today. If you want confirmation of what it is you can rummage through my photostream to find out...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Smile on Saturday :)
[Tripod mount; delayed-release. Black background on black glazed ceramic tile, side-lit with LED torch.
Processed in Capture One using levels to make things blacker and then balancing the light to give some detail in the reflection. Enhanceds colours, particularly the blue and the orange. Because I like them :)
Used a gradient masked layer to brighten the reflection part to decrease the disparity in lightness against the source.
Nik Color Efex Pro for a Classic Soft Focus effect to introduce a glow to the highlights. This was a bit over the top so I blended the effect layer back into the original using Darken mode.
Flipped vertically. For fun.
Then we were done :)]
There’s long been a philosophical question of whether art is more likely to imitate life (mimesis) or life is more likely to imitate art (anti-mimesis).
Oscar Wilde a champion of anti-mimesis, opined in his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying that, "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life". In the essay, written as a Platonic dialogue, Wilde holds that anti-mimesis "results not merely from Life's imitative instinct, but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression, and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realise that energy.
The title of this portrait arose from the evolution of the piece itself. I've been coming to cat-sit in London since 2015 and this is my third stay. I noticed this graffiti in Crouch End the very first time I came, but somehow all the best intention of pulling together a portrait dissolved during the trip and once again it was left an unrealised idea.
This year I promised myself I would attempt it, even if it didn't work, I would at least try. It took 30 mins of trying to find something I liked. This composition is something I have done before several times during this project.
Originally I wasn't wearing my yellow coat, but after 30 mins of shooting it was getting cold and starting to rain so I didn't care. It was then I realised that I was actually dressed to match the graffiti which has happened before in the past :) Sometimes Art can imitate life :)

Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis)
Went for a drive to check out the status of several parks and came across 5 specie of butterflies of which one was this beautiful "Question Mark".
This Christmas, the Peanuts gang are performing "The Seven Questions of Christmas" at the Bijou Planks Theater! The show is now reaches it finale on Christmas Day as Charlie Brown takes center stage!
"Why Christmas? We see in 1 Timothy, chapter 1, verse 15, "This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them."
As we have seen throughout the presentation, on Christmas day we celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ, fully God, stepping into His creation and becoming fully man as well. Why did He do this? Why Christmas? So that we can be saved. So that we can be made right with God, by God.
We celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus who came specifically to do the terrible work necessary to save all those who would repent and believe.
"We see the good news in Titus 2:11, For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people" All people, no matter where they are from, who they are, or what they've done, can be saved by turning to the Lord, Christ Jesus in belief. Even, as we just saw, if we are the worst of sinners.
That's why we have a Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone!"

CHRISTmas! He is truly the reason for the season as there would be no Christmas without Him, making our traditions of gifts and celebrations disingenuous if they do not point to the Lord, Christ Jesus.

Thank you very much to all of you my dear Flickr friends for your so kind comments!
Ok Woodsman! Your ego isn’t too humiliated?
I just want to put your ego knockout! :)))
Woodsman, do you realize how many sexual acts I see in spring and summer around my stream? :)))
Yesterday I asked to you these questions: do you see that your desires are the expression of your insatisfaction about your past, your insufficiensies? and do you think it’s the samething with the sexual desires?
You answered you were not sure!
Woodsman, you certainly know that your sexuality is the source of all the energy? Right?
Do you realize that in the life of all the people the sexual acts with their lover are the closer experience to the unity…. the closer experience to your return to the unity?
But also, do you realize too that your sexual attirance for the women is always caused by your separation of the unity?
Do you see better now that your total satisfaction is impossible as much as you’re separated of your lover… of the others…. of the light… of the nature?
Ok Woodsman, that’s all for today! Tomorrow my questions/story will be on the difference between you and me!
:)))… to be continued tomorrow…!

Or perhaps the question should be, "What is more real?"
The thing we see? The thing we touch? Or the thing we can neither see nor touch nor sense in any concrete way, but feel?
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Where have all the butterflies gone? And just a week ago there were so many. I have another question mark butterfly for you.
