Sometimes you get suddenly answers on questions you have since a long time....
I will write more, but not now
There are those days when the vision suddenly becomes clear and unobstructed.
My chiropractor, graduate, he studied in England, almost ripped my new MRI out of my hands yesterday.... Because he too was unsure about my symptoms.
He looks at it and says.:
Moni, there's a cyst, a big cyst in the sacrum, it's pressing on the nerve bundle....
He immediately compared it to an MRI from 2019. And this cyst can also be seen there.
No one took note of it before, everyone just focused on the discs.
A now viable explanation for my recent problems. Which can really only be explained if the spinal canal is deeply affected or .... the sacrum.
A confirmation.
I am not crazy.
I knew there is something else besides my operated disc, besides the postnucleosyndrome, besides the new herniated disc one floor below, which is just too small for the sensations and numbness I have had lately....
I don't know what all this means now.
Now I have to have conversations with my doctors.
But it seems to be an explanation why I'm not getting anywhere....
And that's why I'm glad that the view is clear now.
To find a way...
I wanted you to know, my friends, why I am away very often now, calm, without words...
I have to focus on my life, more.
On my health.
I have to be present, there, in my life.
I have a lot of work, really a lot, in the office too, obviously.
Take care of you my friends, take care
😘

I think the human memory is strange. Some things you remember so vividly that it feels like it just happened. But then at the same time you feel like "did it really happen" and often I find myself thinking that I didn't quite live in the moment or appreciate the time to the fullest.
Really special events are ingrained in your brain to a very deep level. Certain things will help you survive in a dangerous situation without you necessarily even realizing that you used a memory to help you get out of a bad situation. In fact you probably don't even "remember" that you remember it.
I feel like my brain wants to help me in a similar way to get to a "happier place". The whole world has been on pause, my life has been affected by not being able to get a job and every day seems to be the same. I feel like life is just going by without me taking part in it. I guess a lot of people feel that way because of the pandemic. That 2020 is ruined, the whole year is cancelled.
To me my trip to Norway in 2019 was really special. It was the first of its kind for me; a really long road trip independently, sleep in a tent, be free and of course with really great company.
In the beginning of 2019 my mom passed away from cancer after a (thankfully for her) short but nonetheless frustrating and saddening battle. The trip was a good distraction to help my brain subconsciously process the reality of what had at that point happened 4 months ago. At the same time Norway was so great that I wanted to share the pictures with her, but the realization that it wasn't possible hit me.
Now that it's summer again, a scent or a location triggers a memory that reminds me of Norway. It takes me back to the feeling I had. I felt like maybe after all it's not the end of the world, that the world is just a little different now. A world where I can't share my greatest experiences with the most important woman in my life. It's definitely a sad world, but I think it also helps me develop myself. Makes it very apparent that in this unfair world there are things that I cannot control and just have to accept.
Memories help with going forward. Time makes memories golden, after all. Everything I experienced with my mom is now a memory and as time goes forward, I think they will just get shinier.
The human body knows what it needs for you to feel better and the subconscious is far more powerful than you realize, it's the SUBconscious, after all.
Cherish the best memories and try to walk the memory lane as often as you need. I think now is a good time to look back and really appreciate what good you have experienced. Browse the old photos, walk the same paths, eat the same foods. Whatever triggers a memory and brings you back to a good place.

Thank you so much for choosing my photo as your group cover! I am so honored, and your group is so lovely <3

Original Picture -
Shame is a powerful emotion for some of us. The realization that you have lost control of your own life could be depressing or liberating. There are actually three choices. Do you let it keep you down? Do you embrace your newly realized status? Or do you refuse the path chosen for you and change course? What do you choose when your own home no longer seems like a safe haven?
How does she sleep?

Home is Anywhere You Hang Your Head - Elvis Costello and the Attractions (1986), Blood and Chocolates, Elvis Costello
Here comes Mr. Misery
He's tearing out his hair again
He's crying over her again
He's standing in the super-market shouting at the customers
Here comes Mr. Misery
He'll never be any good with a mouth full of gold and blood
He's contemplating murder again
He must be in love
But you know she doesn't want you
But you can't seem to get it in your head
Oh and you can't sleep at night
And she haunts you when you go to bed
When you're tired of talking and you can't drink it down
So you hang around and drown instead
Home isn't where it used to be
Home is anywhere you hang your head . . .

First afternoon off work because I felt like it...upon arrival...the realization that idle time is a burden set in...the mind wanders...there was only one solution...take a walk with the MKIII and the 100-400mm. After about 15 minutes in the still 85 Deg F heat I was done...my first thoughts on what to call this shoot was "Butterflies & B.S." A Variety of Things Seen.
The Swallowtails were on the Ironweed as was eye too...and like you, I became bored...the end.

I would like to combine this photo of the Saxon lavender near the town of Niesky with a small message. A realization that just hit me when I was thinking about a suitable text.
But actually it's more the title than the photo that carries my thoughts. The photo should just look good. Which it does quite well with all the bright lavender. At least I think so.
But what else do I care about? For me it's about perspective and truth. On the one hand my perspective and on the other hand that of the setting sun.
The statement in the title applies to each of the two perspectives. But the answer to the question of who is hiding from whom behind the barn could be completely opposite from every perspective.
Of course, this is only meant figuratively. The day a sun hides from me would have fundamental effects on my world view and my ego.
So who is right? What is the truth ? Very easy. Nobody is right. Both are right. Because something like "the truth" only ever exists in the spirit of one's own observation and one's own perspective.
Maybe you'll remember this the next time you find yourself on the brink of conflict. Because as one of my most important teachers once said: “Do you want to be right or be happy?”
Diese Foto, vom sächsischen Lavendel Nähe des Ortes Niesky möchte ich mit einer kleinen Botschaft verbinden. Einer Erkenntnis, die mich gerade ereilt hat, als ich über einen passenden Text nachgedacht habe.
Doch eigentlich ist es mehr der Titel als das Foto, welcher meinen Gedanken trägt. Das Foto soll einfach nur gut aussehen. Was ihm, mit dem ganzen leuchtenden Lavendel auch recht gut gelingt. Finde ich zumindest.
Doch worum gehts mir sonst noch. Es geht mir um Perspektive und um Wahrheit. Und zwar zum Einen meiner Perspektive und zum anderen die der untergehenden Sonne.
Für jeden der beiden Blickwinkel trifft die Aussage im Titel zu. Doch die Antwort auf die Frage, wer sich hier vor wem hinter der Scheune versteckt, könnte aus jeder Perspektive völlig gegensätzlich ausfallen.
Natürlich ist das hier nur sinnbildlich gemeint. Der Tag an dem sich eine Sonne vor mir versteckt hätte fundamentale Auswirkungen auf mein Weltbild und mein Ego.
Wer hat also recht ? Was ist die Wahrheit ? Ganz einfach. Keiner hat Recht. Beide haben Recht. Denn so etwas wie "die Wahrheit" existiert immer nur im Geiste der eigenen Betrachtung und eigenen Blickrichtung.
Vielleicht erinnert Ihr Euch daran, wenn Ihr das nächste Mal am Rande eines Konfliktes steht. Denn wie einer der für mich wichtigsten Lehrmeister einmal gesagt hat: "Willst du Recht bekommen, oder glücklich sein ?"

Every sunset, 'I' have missed more than a million realizations!
Only those that got into my senses have got into glorifications.
Every sunrise, 'I' sense what is not,
Those that 'I' feel, in fact are all mortal
Every sunrise, 'I' wake to see subtle illusions,
Those that got into my imagination, not real, mere delusions.
Every sunset, 'I' dream, the shadows of illusions ,
'All' that remains, is true, immortal.

Sept 12 evening I had wanted to shoot this composition with aurora for some time and Friday night I was fortunate to get there for the active curtains
The Garden sits nestled in the West Hills of Portland, Oregon overlooking the city and providing a tranquil, urban oasis for locals and travelers alike. Designed in 1963, it encompasses 12 acres with eight separate garden styles, and includes an authentic Japanese Tea House, meandering streams, intimate walkways, and a spectacular view of Mt. Hood. This is a place to discard worldly thoughts and concerns and see oneself as a small but integral part of the universe.
Born out of a hope that the experience of peace can contribute to a long lasting peace. Born out of a belief in the power of cultural exchange. Born out of a belief in the excellence of craft, evidence in the Garden itself and the activities that come from it. Born out of a realization that all of these things are made more real and possible if we honor our connection to nature.
March 3, 1966: “A flash of sanity: the momentary realization that there is no need to come to certain conclusions about persons, events, conflicts, trends, even trends toward evil and disaster, as if from day to day and even from moment to moment I had to know and declare (at least to myself) that this is so and so, this is good and this is bad. We are heading for a “new era” or we are heading for destruction. What do such judgments mean? Little or nothing. Things are as they are in an immense whole of which I am a part and which I cannot pretend to grasp. To say I grasp it is immediately put myself in a false position, as if I were “outside” it. Whereas to be in it is to seek truth in my own life and action, moving where movement is possible and keeping still when movement is unnecessary, realizing that things will continue to define themselves and that judgments and mercies of God will clarify themselves and will be more clear to me if I am silent and attentive, obedient to His will, rather than constantly formulating statements in this age which is smothered in language, in meaningless and inconclusive debate in which, in the last analysis, nobody listens to anything except what agrees with his own prejudices.”
- Thomas Merton - Exploring Solitude and Freedom from The Intimate Merton, March 3, 1966
Marimurtra, Blanes, La Selva, Girona, España.
Situado en Blanes, en la Costa Brava, el Jardín Botánico Marimurtra es uno de los jardines más bellos de la orilla del Mediterráneo. Sobre unos acantilados que bordean el mar se pueden contemplar algunas de las panorámicas más espectaculares de la costa y conocer más de cuatro mil especies vegetales, la mayoría exóticas, así como un buen número de ejemplares extraordinarios por su edad o dimensiones.
Marimurtra es la obra de un hombre apasionado por la naturaleza. Carl Faust (Hadamar, Alemania 1874-Blanes 1952), empresario establecido en Cataluña, dedicó su ilusión, su esfuerzo y todo su patrimonio a la realización de su sueño, el Jardín Botánico Marimurtra.

Neuer Zollhof (le nouveau Zollhof, du nom d'un ancien poste de douane), situé au Neuer Zollhof 2-6, Unterbilk, est un point de repère important de Düsseldorf-Hafen, qui fait partie du port réaménagé de Düsseldorf, en Allemagne.
Dans ce récent « port des Médias », les trois immeubles de bureaux « dansants » de Neuer Zollhof (1998) sont une réalisation de Frank Gehry en collaboration avec BM+P Architekten. Cet ensemble symbolise la renaissance et la force d’innovation de Düsseldorf en tant que place économique.
L’ancien port de Düsseldorf est devenu un centre d’habitations, de commerces, de bureaux, de média et d’arts unique en son genre. Classés monuments historiques, les entrepôts ont été réaménagés grâce à des technologies de pointe. Pour briser l’uniformité, la zone a également été enrichie de bâtisses « design », construites par des architectes renommés. Le soir, le Medienhafen se transforme en lieu branché avec ses bars et ses clubs animés.
Le complexe de bâtiments composé de trois bâtiments distincts a été conçu par l'architecte américain Frank O. Gehry et achevé en 1998. Les plans d'étage et les façades des trois bâtiments se courbent et s'inclinent, ce qui les compare à des tours penchées. Le bâtiment le plus haut mesure 14 étages et un peu moins de 50 m de haut. Chaque bâtiment a un revêtement de façade différent - les deux extérieurs en plâtre blanc et en brique rouge respectivement ; la façade en acier inoxydable du bâtiment central reflète les matériaux et les formes de ses deux bâtiments voisins.
Les bâtiments ont une surface de plancher brute totale de 29 000 mètres carrés. Un précédent concours de conception architecturale pour le site a été remporté par l'architecte irako-britannique Zaha Hadid au début des années 1990, mais jamais commandé.

Neuer Zollhof (the New Zollhof, named after a former customs house), located at Neuer Zollhof 2-6, Unterbilk, is a prominent landmark in Düsseldorf-Hafen, part of the redeveloped Port of Düsseldorf, Germany .
In this recent "port of the Media", the three "dancing" office buildings of Neuer Zollhof (1998) are a realization of Frank Gehry in collaboration with BM+P Architekten. This complex symbolizes Düsseldorf's rebirth and innovative strength as a business location.
The former port of Düsseldorf has become a unique center for housing, commerce, offices, media and the arts. Classified as historical monuments, the warehouses have been refurbished using cutting-edge technologies. To break the uniformity, the area has also been enriched with "design" buildings, built by renowned architects. In the evening, the Medienhafen turns into a trendy place with its lively bars and clubs.
The building complex of three separate buildings was designed by American architect Frank O. Gehry and completed in 1998. The floor plans and facades of the three buildings curve and bow, comparing them to leaning towers. The tallest building is 14 stories tall and just under 50m high. Each building has a different facade cladding – the two exteriors in white plaster and red brick respectively; the stainless steel facade of the central building mirrors the materials and forms of its two neighboring buildings.
The buildings have a total gross floor area of 29,000 square meters. A previous architectural design competition for the site was won by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid in the early 1990s, but never commissioned.
Plant Identification needed...
I have never seen a plant like this one.

Just a few days ago, I was able to announce to my bride that I finally finished editing the photos taken on Jordan’s and my Alaskan adventure back in August. With the development of ocular MG in the past couple of years, I just can’t spend as much time working with photos due to the required brightness of the computers screen. Anyway…
It was my last of my five days in Nome and in the last hour before I had to return my rental car and grab a taxi to the airport for departure. As I drove the Nome-Council Road heading west along the narrow spit between the Safety Sound and the churning Bering Sea, a large bird in flight caught my eye appearing out of the heavy fog, about to pass me like a car in oncoming traffic. When I realized that it was an owl, I surely looked as if I was having a full body spasm as I attempted to stop the car, get the window down and retrieve my camera from the passenger seat. Just as my lens exited the window and my car was thrown into reverse to find the owl, a second owl came into view, this one.
I didn’t have time to check my setting and certainly didn’t expect to be photographing birds in flight in the fog…a scenario that I would certainly never wish for! I snapped this shot…a bit blurred based on my setting, lack of light and no doubt some overly excited old man shakes. Seeing these two owls was such a blessing. Being able to poorly capture those eyes in flight…priceless.
As I sat in my car checking to see if I got the shot, an owl flew past on the right side of the car. It could have been a third one…my level of excitement could not have been higher! As I attempted to make an Austin Powers 27-point U-turn on the narrow gravel road, yet another owl was spotted amongst the grasses. It was then I realized that by His grace, for the second time in my life I had driven right into the middle of a parliament of Short-eared owls!
Within minutes of this realization, the winds off the Bering Sea started moving the southern edge of the fog bank to the north, allowing a little more light to shine through. The last hours of my last Alaskan adventure (possible…probable last Alaskan adventure) providing color to the gray world that I had assumed would be my last memory of the visit. As The light continued to increase and the fog diminish, I was able to count at least eight owls at one time, either in the air or perched.
There certainly could have been many more as the grasses were tall and the terrain slopped. Choosing to push my self-imposed timeline down to the last possible minute, after a while I stopped taking pictures and just sat in my car and enjoy the moment offered. To sit in His grace and stare back into those amazing yellow eyes in the cold, salty winds of the Bering Sea…priceless!!
Flowers for You
Spring Equinox brings a universal desire to post millions of pictures of flowers. This image is of the blooms in the meadows of Rainier, but they won’t emerge from the alpine snowfields until well into July and August. Broad strokes of lupine compete with scarlet paintbrush and heather, with chickweed and goats beard strewn like garland across the canvas of green. The clouds form out of nowhere, born of rising thermals and prevailing air streams, rushing between heaven and earth in a kaleidoscope of light. The display is tremendous. Meandering always higher, the trail begs to be abandoned towards tarns and hillocks that enhance the view in every direction, as if John Muir or maybe even God Himself had strolled these meadows, tossing seeds from a basket filled with pure inspiration. The realization of smallness is humbling, and in that lowering my emotion is volcanic. My moments of anger, of sadness, and disappointment are all like magma below the surface. It is easier to forgive than to forgive myself. And in my apologies, I got these flowers for you….
Beyond the limit of realization
Your shadow I finally found
At the moment when
I’ve become to trust everything invisible
I throw myself into the ideal
When the blue light flowing on me
Faces you and me
All the colored emotions inside
Become the unlimited range
The brightest presence in my world
The absolute value, you
My my IDEA
You are you are you are (killing me)
