Nobody expects the "Spanish Inquisition".

 

The Spanish Inquisition was a Catholic tribunal that operated in Spain and its colonies from 1478 for about three centuries. It was established by Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon.

 

"The Spanish Inquisition" is an episode and recurring segment in the British sketch comedy TV series Monty Python's Flying Circus, specifically series 2 episode 2 (first broadcast 22 September 1970), that satirises the Spanish Inquisition. The sketches are notable for the catchphrase, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!", which has been frequently quoted and become an Internet meme.

Seeing recurring numbers is thought to be a sign that the universe is trying to get your attention. It’s a sort of signal from unseen forces that are attempting to shift your focus to important life matters that you need to address or work on. So if you often pause and take note of the time when the numbers are repeating it’s perfectly normal and it means that your higher self, spirit guides, or angels are trying to connect and get through to you. By the way ... 111 is a wake up call from the Universe....to pay attention to what's going on around you and who you are with. 222 is partners and relationships... pay attention to who is showing up in your world. 333 ... mind, body, soul.... check what's out of balance. Hmmmm.... interesting!! (LOL!)

Sunsets

I wanna hear your voice

A love that nobody could destroy

Took photographs like Brautigan's book covers

That we both adored

And when you go away

I still see you

The sunlight on your face in my rearview

This always happens to me this way

Recurring visions of such sweet days

This photograph presents a sea of Daylilies, a symphony in yellow, bathed in soft sunlight. The focus is on the undulating waves of vibrant yellow blooms, interspersed with unopened buds poised to join the chorus. These flowers, known for their ephemeral beauty, are captured at the height of their one-day performance, exuding cheer and vitality. The green blades of foliage form an intricate dance of lines and patterns, creating a lush tapestry that cradles each blossom. Light and shadow play hide and seek across the petals and leaves, adding depth and dimension to the scene. As a collective, the Daylilies offer a breathtaking glimpse into the recurring cycles of nature, reminding us of the fleeting, yet recurring joy that each new day can bring.

Breaking news: Griffin-like creature breaks havoc in central Copenhagen ! I shot this scaffolding a few times already without much success, but I love how they opened the decoration this morning ! This is also the first picture I am posting taken from my phone, which might become a more recurring thing, now that I am better equipped on that front.

 

The idea of a "shadow government," a clandestine network wielding real power behind the scenes, is a recurring theme in conspiracy theories. This concept suggests that elected officials are mere figureheads, while unelected individuals or groups secretly control policy and exert influence over government actions.

 

Recent history all over the world but especially in the USA makes me think they are not just "conspiracy theories".

Following reports of this comet in outburst in the latter half of Dec 2015/early days of 2016, the first opportunity I had to get a look at home was 7 January 2016. A very clear but windy night with seeing approx 5/10.

 

Through my binoculars: Estimated mag. 8.5, coma diameter 4'.

Comet was passing very close to a mag 14.5 star at the time which threw me off quite a bit during processing.

 

Equipment used:

Skywatcher 120ED Esprit (polar aligned)

Celestron AVX

Field flattener

Unmodded Canon 700D

47 Light frames

27 Dark frames

27 Flat frames

160 Bias frames

18 mins integration time. (all at 25 secs, ISO 1600)

 

Stacked in DSS: Median Kappa Sigma once with comet, once with stars.

 

Final processing in CS5 using Hubl method.

 

It's taken me a while to get this done as I've had a recurring headache since I shot the frames!

.Melt...♡

 

♡...The desire to "melt" for someone else showcases a willingness to give oneself over to the relationship, despite the potential for emotional turmoil.♡

♡...The recurring themes of nostalgia and sweetness intertwine with vulnerability, highlighting the complexities of love and the way it can both uplift and challenge one's sense of self.♡

♡...Through relatable metaphors and evocative imagery, the song explores the multifaceted nature of love, capturing a moment where desire and fear coexist, bringing depth to the simplicity of wanting to be close to someone.♡

Marasmiellus ramealis is a little white parachute-like mushroom that often grows at or above head height, first appearing in springtime and recurring throughout summer and autumn on twigs and small branches of conifers and deciduous broadleaf trees. (It is also a common sight on dead bramble stems.) (www.first-nature.com)

I'm including another one of my underwater photos.

We are here at a depth of about 10 meters in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Key Largo, Florida.

For once, what I saw here wasn't a sea creature. But it impressed me no less.

Never in my life would I have expected to find here a statue of Christ about 3 meters tall. But there it was, standing there, arms outstretched, looking up toward the water's surface.

The symbolism of this posture in this location immediately fascinated and moved me.

It's as if he, trapped in this dark and wet prison, is crying out for air and freedom.

This image may be a bit macabre, and you don't have to share it. But I immediately felt an oppressive feeling when I saw this sculpture. And this feeling recurs whenever I look at this photo.

 

Ich streue mal wieder eines meiner Unterwasser Fotos mit ein.

Wir befinden uns hier in ca. 10 Metern Tiefe im Atlantik vor der Küste von Key Largo in Florida.

Das was ich hier gesehen habe war ausnahmsweise mal kein Meeresbewohner. Doch es hat mich deswegen nicht weniger beeindruckt.

Nie im Leben hätte ich damit gerechnet, dass ich hier auf eine ca. 3 Meter hohe Christus Statue treffe. Doch da stand sie die Arme und den Blick nach oben in Richtung Wasseroberfläche gereckt.

Die Symbilk dieser Körperhaltung an dieser Standort hat mich schlagartig fasziniert und ergriffen.

Es ist als würde er, gefangen in diesem dunklen und nassen Gefängnis, nach Luft und nach Freiheit rufen.

Möglicherweise ist diese Vorstellung etwas makaber und ihr müsst diese auch nicht teilen. Doch ich hatte sofort ein beklemmendes Gefühl, als ich diese Skulptur gesehen habe. Und dieses Gefühl kehrt auch immer wieder, wenn ich dieses Foto betrachte.

This scene was almost directly opposite the photo I posted yesterday (this is looking north). I don't usually photograph barns that are covered in silver metal (I find them unappealing in photos most of the time). This caught my attention because of the ragweed in front and the dramatic clouds behind, which as I explained in the previous photo were moving quickly and recurring throughout the day. Also, the cedar shingles are nice. As with the last photo, the clouds received no editing.

The Ross Jones Memorial Pool was built in 1947. It is located next to Coogee Surf Life Saving Club at the south end of Coogee Beach in Sydney. Waves from Coogee Beach spill over the concrete walls of the baths during high tide and rough seas. Very impressive. It was under repair when we visited as part of the recurring maintenance cycle so the composition is more focussed on the ocean vs pool connection. Will bring our swim gear next time.

A recurring theme throughout the streets of Paris is the café culture. I captured this shot in the sixth arrondisement with my Olympus E-M1, Mark II camera.

Marsh Bridge dates from the early 18th Century.

 

Extract from English Heritage:

 

DULVERTON CP Marsh Bridge at NGR SS 9069 2895

 

II Road bridge over River Barle. Probably C18, repaired 1818-9, altered 1866-7 when central pier removed and iron bridge inserted, parapet destroyed 1952, reconstructed in steel 1979-80. Early C19 repairs by John Stone, mid C19 alterations by County Surveyor, Arthur Whitehead, iron work by Hennet and Spink of Bridgewater. Flat bedded local stone, rubble voussoirs and steel.

 

Plan: semi-circular head arched outer bays, centre spanned by steel bridge resting on pointed cutwater piers. Latticework steel parapet, pyramid topped lattice work piers flanking centre span, recurring cross pattee motif.

 

The original use of cast iron was suggested in 1851 by the preceeding County Surveyor Richard Carver. A chapel of ease was erected in the mid C19 on the north bank beside the bridge by John Locke of Northmoor (not included), which burnt down 1908.

"I like to employ a form of repetition, in which the same elements recur but in different and unexpected ways, rather than being discarded as soon as they are understood or passed over. "

One of a series of encounters with these creatures last summer, in a variety of locations. They seem to be flourishing around this part of the world, though provincially they are listed as a species of ‘special concern’. Shoreline development is one of the biggest pressures on the species, and the absence of shoreline development along the Ottawa River (flooding is a recurring risk, even with managed water levels) may explain their abundance here. The Ottawa has a very uneven bottom as it passes through the city, and this provides for access to food (the River is full of molluscs) and the overwintering capacity the species needs as well.

The Cornish-Windsor covered bridge, seen from a different vantage point than it's normally photographed. I've taken many photos of this historic structure over the years, but none from the air.

 

I had to take a couple of flights, dodging recurring storms, but I finally got a shot that I'm fairly happy with.

In an earlier post I made mention of how amazed I am that these creators/artists keep managing to outdo them selves.

 

Six months ago at the last NEO JAPAN and as I posted here, I was raving about the quality of gifts offered each NEO JAPAN event by GABRIEL. I also mentioned that not one of the NEO JAPAN gifts would I have hesitated from purchasing and that October's off shoulder hoodie had been my favorite gift from Gabriel yet.

 

Well TAKUYA JIN has outdone himself AGAIN!!!

 

My first visit to the event, I had a problem with a lot of things not rezzing for me. I got to the GABRIEL booth and well, first of all I was blown away by a certain GACHA item and I just stood their in awe admiring it. After an eternity of that haha, I looked over and saw this awesome off shoulder jacket. I thought it was kick ass, said to myself "I am definitely BUYING that, lemme see how much it is." Well when I clicked to do so, it said ZERO linden, I thought I clicked on the demo icon, you see the sign beneath loudly marking it as a GIFT had not rezzed!! LMAO. Yes this jacket in the image is the gift, comes in both male and female versions and it's dope. I LOVE this jacket even more than the off shoulder hoodie. Really an ace piece.

 

There's only one shocker connected to this gift, I'll give everyone a clue, I am shocked. XD Shocked that for as much as I LOVE this jacket...that I came back the next day after getting it and I left that day with something from GABRIEL that I LOVE ten times more than this jacket!!!!

 

What's this??!!! You ask. Well, stay tuned you'll see. I'll give y'all another clue.

 

Back in the seventies, on Saturday Night Live, Garrett Morris had a recurring character who was a retired big league ball player. As with almost every recurring character during that iconic and legendary era of the show, this character had a catchphrase that became part of the public dialogue, that line was "Baseball has been Berry Berry good to me."

 

Well as is the case repeatedly for MOI..."Gacha machines have been BERRY BERRY good to me."

Acorn Woodpecker. Birder friends. Does this bill seem unusually long to you for an Acorn Woodpecker? It does to me. About a year to two years ago, I had a recurring Acorn Woodpecker with a deformed bill that was quite long. I'll put a link in the first comment. Any thoughts on whether this one might be a descendent?

Vlaamse Gaai - Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) in flight.

 

A recurring theme: flying back and forth with acorns in autumn.

 

Still trying to get one to pass by closer.

They are very wary and veer off as soon as they spot you.

 

The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number (number of protons), electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties. This ordering shows periodic trends, such as elements with similar behavior in the same column. All elements from atomic numbers 1 (hydrogen) to 118 (ununoctium) have been discovered or synthesized, with the most recent additions (elements 113, 115, 117, and 118) being confirmed by the IUPAC on December 30, 2015.

This image shows a dramatic and infrequent example of contact between two displaying male Sharp-tailed Grouse. This unfolded at a lek (accessible by permission) in southern Alberta, Canada. It is a privilege to be able to visit this place, although on this most recent occasion we were surprised and disappointed to have people who had clearly not made the required arrangements show up after the birds had started displaying (which could have potentially caused the Sharp-tailed Grouse to abandon a longstanding lek). This is a species sensitive to disturbance, which has lost many sites in recent times.

In another breach of the required etiquette, the same people who arrived late (and set up a tent rather than use the provided blind) left before the displays were completely finished — another possible cause of loss of this rare site. This represented a further instance of thoughtlessness, apparently prompted by the desire to get a few photos. I’m a bird photographer myself, and this appalling behaviour is what can alienate people who then judge others by this kind of selfish nonsense.

Hopefully such inconsideration will not recur and the birds at this amazing location will continue to utilize it for their essential breeding activity, while thoughtful and cooperative people will have the opportunity to experience a powerful aspect of Nature’s ways

This image captures the bold essence of a Daylily in full bloom, its petals a bright, sun-kissed yellow with soft brushes of orange giving depth and dimension. The flower stands out against the lush, dark green background, a portrait of summer's vibrant palette. Delicate stamens with dark brown anthers reach out from the center, adding an elegant contrast to the softness of the petals. The flower, fresh with vitality, seems to bask in its own glow, embodying the warmth and exuberance of a sunny day. It's a snapshot of growth and vitality, reminding us of the flourishing beauty present in the cycle of nature. The photograph, with its focus on the singular beauty of this Daylily, invites us to pause and appreciate the fleeting, yet recurring beauty of these summer blooms.

Provo Canyon, Wasatch Mountains, Utah

 

There are certain place names that recur continuously in North America, such as Cathedral Mountain, Bird Rock, Mirror Lake, and Bridal Veil Falls. This pretty little cascade is in Utah.

"I've been thinking about this: It's all about connection" a friend said the first evening of many, and it became a recurring metaphor the following days we spent together.

 

I'm not too good with writing these last months, but I am thinking a lot about my friends. Thus, connected I am.

(the classic, old way. Something physicists will be able to explain one day.)

Another recurring late spring delight, red osier dogwood gracing the streambanks.

 

I was used to red osier dogwood being a smallish shrub (4 to 6 ft) in Colorado. They are huge here, relatively speaking (18 or more feet),

The gauntlet has been thrown. It is March Fourth and the orders are, March Forth – and do something! At We’re Here! we will confront the Things I Can’t Do!

 

Kings Canyon National Park was founded on this day in 1940. I wanted to recognize that today. I have never been to Kings Canyon, but it is a big item on my “Do Something” bucket list. One of the things the park is most known for will not be on my agenda, however. There is a steep trail of stairs cut into the side of Moro Rock. I hear the view is breathtaking. But - one of the few things that has been a recurring theme in my nightmares is pictured here. Hiking really steep trails, especially narrow ones, scares the dickens out of me. Throw in a precipice? Well, I’d be paralyzed. Can’t do it.

  

heath or heathland is a shrubland habitat found on mainly infertile acidic soils, characterised by open, low growing woody vegetation, often dominated by plants of the Ericaceae. It is similar to moorland, but is generally warmer and drier.

Heaths are widespread worldwide. They form extensive and highly diverse communities across Australia in humid and sub-humid areas. Fire regimes with recurring burning are required for the maintenance of the heathlands. Even more diverse though less widespread heath communities occur in Southern Africa. Extensive heath communities can also be found in California, New Caledonia, central Chile and along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to these extensive heath areas, the vegetation type is also found in scattered locations across all continents, except Antarctica.

  

Le Musée de la Photographie de Maastricht, situé au Vrijthof, présente une exposition saisissante de l'artiste photographe Jimmy Nelson. Intitulée « Entre la mer et le ciel », l'exposition présente 65 photographies et deux vidéos représentant vingt communautés néerlandaises en costumes traditionnels. Ces images, aux ciels majestueux, ont été prises dans de pittoresques villages de pêcheurs, des paysages de polders et des villes fortifiées. Avec son œuvre vibrante, Nelson célèbre la beauté, la richesse culturelle et l'authenticité de l'humanité.

Le photographe anglo-néerlandais est internationalement reconnu pour ses livres révolutionnaires « Before They Pass Away » (2013) et « Homage to Humanity » (2018), qui présentent des photographies captivantes de peuples autochtones uniques dans les régions les plus reculées du monde. L'élégant beau livre « Between the Sea and the Sky » (2022) est un récit visuel et artistique explorant le riche patrimoine culturel de la patrie d'adoption de Nelson et présente plus de 350 portraits intimistes et paysages emblématiques.

Avec cette série inspirante, Jimmy Nelson rend un hommage personnel aux traditions ancestrales. Il allie l'élégance intemporelle du naturalisme hollandais à l'art du portrait contemporain. Pour les portraits individuels et de groupe, cet artiste et conteur passionné utilise un appareil photo analogique grand format. Il en résulte des images pittoresques et romantiques, riches en détails, rappelant les célèbres maîtres hollandais.

La beauté intrinsèque de la diversité humaine et du patrimoine commun renforce le sentiment d'interdépendance mondiale, un thème récurrent dans l'œuvre de Nelson. Les visiteurs sont invités à un dialogue visuel et à une réflexion sur l'importance de la préservation et de l'unité culturelles. Avec son mélange unique d'architecture historique et moderne, le monumental Fotomuseum aan het Vrijthof offre un cadre idéal. Le musée organise un programme parallèle avec des conférences d'artistes et des activités scolaires.

Jimmy Nelson (Sevenoaks, Angleterre, 1967) a passé son enfance en Afrique, en Asie et au Moyen-Orient. Depuis 1993, il vit à Amsterdam, où se trouve le Jimmy Nelson Studio & Gallery. L'artiste photographie depuis quarante ans et expose dans les plus grands musées et galeries du monde entier. Son travail indépendant a également été présenté lors de foires d'art et de photographie telles que PAN Amsterdam, Photo London, Paris Photo et TEFAF Maastricht, ainsi qu'à la Fabrique des Lumières.

 

The Maastricht Museum of Photography, located in the Vrijthof, presents a striking exhibition by photographer Jimmy Nelson. Entitled "Between Sea and Sky," the exhibition features 65 photographs and two videos depicting twenty Dutch communities in traditional costumes. These images, featuring majestic skies, were taken in picturesque fishing villages, polder landscapes, and fortified towns. With his vibrant work, Nelson celebrates the beauty, cultural richness, and authenticity of humanity.

The Anglo-Dutch photographer is internationally recognized for his groundbreaking books "Before They Pass Away" (2013) and "Homage to Humanity" (2018), which present captivating photographs of unique indigenous peoples in the world's most remote regions. The elegant coffee table book "Between the Sea and the Sky" (2022) is a visual and artistic narrative exploring the rich cultural heritage of Nelson's adopted homeland and features over 350 intimate portraits and iconic landscapes.

With this inspiring series, Jimmy Nelson pays personal homage to time-honored traditions. He combines the timeless elegance of Dutch naturalism with contemporary portraiture. For both individual and group portraits, this passionate artist and storyteller uses a large-format analog camera. The result is picturesque and romantic images, rich in detail, reminiscent of the famous Dutch masters.

The intrinsic beauty of human diversity and shared heritage reinforces the sense of global interdependence, a recurring theme in Nelson's work. Visitors are invited to engage in a visual dialogue and reflect on the importance of cultural preservation and unity. With its unique blend of historic and modern architecture, the monumental Fotomuseum aan het Vrijthof provides an ideal setting. The museum organizes a parallel program with artist talks and school activities.

In fantasy books and MMO's there's a recurring theme of Cleric-Kings fighting against the armies of darkness with weapons and magic of the light. Although I'm pretty sure some of us deviants would probably side with the neighbourhood Lich because its more fun than spending days praying to a faceless deity. Somnium made a sword so now you can be either and I added some extra purity glows so those undead murder hobos can see their end from a distance. Or just be a killer kitty in pink. Whatever, I'm not your mom!

Eternal return (also known as "eternal recurrence") is a concept that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time or space.

You may notice a recurring pattern in a few of my recent photos ... this one, though, is a bit experimental for me. It is my first attempt at a sunrise through a hand-held gradiated filter.

 

Comments and honest critique welcome. Taken as part of the lovely sunrise of 7 October 2010 in Duluth, MN.

 

I also feel it's quite pretty in Lightbox, so give it a try :)
