This is my Mom folks... I know I don't usual post too many of these types of shot (ie people) But I wanted to share this moment for a reason.
My Photography journey has taken me through MANY adventures and amazing times. I never thought just simply looking up for places to go to and things to do in my region. (i.e Locally)
Would ever lead me to meet so many new wonderful people and see and experience so many new places and adventures... All in my backyard too!
I spent no time at all, emailing places to ask if I could come to take photos (always with the agreement of giving the owners copies of the photos) And yes, at times you get rejections or no permission to come.
But.. Once and while you get someone who welcomes you so kindly with an open invitation. Which is why I am sharing this post! And after a 1st meet and greet with the owners... Quickly friendships form and trust develops and then some amazing moments begin to reveil themselves!
And NOW.... not only do I get an open invitation to come anytime to take photos. But I (we) get to walk these beautiful and "affectionate" Alpacas in a gorgeous forest landscape of Southern Quebec!!
All because I took a chance to discover the treasures of my own region.
Moral of the story... Do your searches and discover the well hidden treasures of your Local region. And don't be affraid to contact the owners to ask permission to do a little photo shoot! You might be surprise to see whats out there and to meet wonderfully friendly people in the process, who appreciate your interest and love for what they do and their passions for their work!
So.. My mom reaping the benefits of my good fortune :-D I got to take her for a surprise jouney one day. I drove to the farm, where she was so happy to see Alpacas so upclose. But then I told her we could take one for a walkabout in the woods!
Let's just say that I wish I could share all the happy face portraits I took of her that morning. SHE LOVED walking my favorite Alpaca named "Seti". Who is a HUGE kisser!.. So adorable!!
It was great to see my Mom that Happy :-D))))
I am honored to partake in such joy's of what Photography brings into my life!!
Toujours un gros Merci a vous Natacha de "Alpagas Du Domaine Poissant" www.alpagasdudomainepoissant.com/
Sheikh in the temple complex in Lalish, the holy place of Yazidism.
The Yazidis follow a caste system. Their caste system was updated and revised by Sheikh Adi in the 11th century.
Basically, there are three castes - Murids, Pirs, and Sheikhs. Most Yezidi belong to the Murid class and are just common people without special roles.
The sheikh caste is again divided into different groups. Generally, this sheikh caste is responsible for the spiritual well-being of the community.
Yazidis marry within their own caste, although nowadays some say there is a need to change that rule ( especially the Yazidi that live in Germany and in the west).
This religious man is from the Sheikh cast; he is a Sheikh wazir majlis rohani. ( الشيخ وزير مجلس روحاني )

My momma always said that you can never win the game if you don't even get in there and try playing! I know my SL Flickr site is a small but decent size one and I've come a long way since some of those early photos I've put together.
So when a giant like Ricielli opens up their blogger list for new bloggers of course I'm going to apply. But I'm a realistic gal and I know my still growing site is decent but not doing the volume that a juggernaut like Ricielli is expecting. However....
I am guessing hundreds applied for those blogger jobs (including myself) with Ricielli. And instead of the typical Blogotex rejection letter, I received a message from Vliet Ricielli along with this hot sexy pink latex lingerie set as a 'Thank you for applying better luck next year' gift. How sweet was that!
So to show my appreciation for the class act that is Ricielli, I decided to blog that sexy little number along with some sparkly gems from Heartsdale Jewelry and furniture from {What Next}. Maybe next year :D

This abandoned hospital building looks ready for demolition. And yet, it seems to have recently had fresh tarmac laid, complete with new kerbing. Maybe someone still believes it has potential.

The Jewish prophet Isaiah described the rejection of the Messiah more than 700 years before He came to Israel:
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes [wounds] we are healed.
(Isaiah 53:3-5)
When He first came, Jesus Christ (the Greek word for 'Messiah') was despised and rejected. Ultimately, He offered Himself as a substitutionary sacrifice to pay the price for our sins. He's coming again as Judge, and only those who believe and trust in Him will be saved:
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(John 3:18)

▶ Photographer's notes:
☞ On 13 September 2024, the administrator for the Flickr group "Paths we walk" rejected this photo for NOT displaying a path that my dog and I walk almost daily. On that rainy day, my camera focused on the urban walkway beneath me instead of the scenery ahead. Despite this, the photo doesn’t break any of the group's established guidelines. My dog and I reject the rejection.

No way of knowing, but it does look a little like a bit of rejection here.
The true identity of the ladies in these paintings still have not been confirmed. There are various ideas about their identity. Some believe that they are the ladies of the king's while others think that they are women taking part in religious observances. These pictures have a close resemblance to paintings seen in the Ajanta caves in India.

Al ver por primera vez este escarabajo ignoraba cual era su especie.
Me encontraba en una cafetería cuando entró volando por la puerta y se posó en la visera de mi gorra sobre la mesa. Quienes lo vieron reaccionaron con sorpresa y rechazo (alguien mostró incluso signos de fobia). Me gustó su colorido y tomé la foto. Mientras lo hacía una mujer me instaba que lo sacara pronto de allí. Y así lo hice: lo solté en la calle.
Acabo de identificarlo: es un “picudo rojo” (“palm weevil”). Sus larvas son muy perjudiciales para la vida de las palmeras. Debido a esto mi simpatía por el bichito ha disminuido notablemente.
----------------------------------------
When I saw this beetle for the first time, I did not know what its species was.
I was in a coffee shop when it flew through the door and landed on the brim of my cap on the table. Those who saw it reacted with surprise and rejection (someone even showed signs of phobia). I liked its coloring and took the photo. While I was doing it, a woman urged me to get him out of there soon. And so I did: I released it on the street.
I just identified it: it's a “red weevil” (“palm weevil”). Its larvae are very harmful to the life of the palm trees. Because of this, my sympathy for the bug has decreased considerably.
Una de las ideas que se extendió por Oriente con la expansión del Islam fue la iconoclastia: el rechazo a las imágenes religiosas. En Bizancio, esta corriente estalló en dos episodios violentos durante los siglos VIII y IX, que transformaron templos y conciencias. Basta eso para imaginar la azarosa vida de los mosaicos de Santa Sofía: destruidos, reconstruidos, ocultos tras capas de yeso, rescatados siglos más tarde por restauradores modernos.
Es difícil imaginar el aspecto que tendría este lugar el día de su inauguración, o tras la restauración iconográfica que siguió al segundo periodo iconoclasta. Pero al ver lo que queda —fragmentos dorados que siguen brillando con una luz que no es de este mundo— uno entiende que no estamos solo ante decoración: estamos ante una historia gráfica del alma bizantina.
Quien haya visitado iglesias bizantinas en Rávena o Venecia o Sicilia puede intuir lo que debió de ser Santa Sofía en su plenitud. El mosaico más impresionante debió de ser, sin duda, el Cristo Pantocrátor que presidía la cúpula. Hoy está perdido, pero su recuerdo sobrevive en los cuatro serafines alados que todavía vigilan desde los ángulos del tambor, como testigos de lo que fue y de lo que resistió.
________________________________________________
One of the ideas that spread through the East with the rise of Islam was iconoclasm: the rejection of religious images. In Byzantium, this current erupted in two violent episodes during the 8th and 9th centuries, transforming both temples and minds. That alone gives us a sense of the turbulent life of Hagia Sophia’s mosaics—destroyed, rebuilt, hidden beneath layers of plaster, and eventually rescued by modern restorers centuries later.
It’s hard to imagine what this place looked like on the day of its inauguration, or after the iconographic restoration that followed the second wave of iconoclasm. But when you see what remains—golden fragments still glowing with a light that seems unearthly—you understand that this isn’t just decoration: it’s a visual history of the Byzantine soul.
Anyone who has visited Byzantine churches in Ravenna, Venice, or Sicily can begin to imagine what Hagia Sophia must have been like in its full splendor. The most impressive mosaic was undoubtedly the Christ Pantocrator that once dominated the dome. Today it is lost, but its memory survives in the four winged seraphim that still stand guard in the pendentives—silent witnesses to what once was, and to what endured.

Das Gebäude wirkt auf den ersten Blick wie eine Moschee, doch es ist keine, und was wie ein Minarett ausschaut ist nur ein gut kaschierter Fabrikschornstein.
Zwischen 1907 und 1909 entstand das Gebäude im Auftrag des Unternehmers Hugo Zietz für seine „Orientalische Tabak- und Cigarettenfabrik Yenidze“, benannt nach dem türkischen Tabak-Anbaugebiet Yenidze, das heute zu Griechenland gehört (rund um die Kleinstadt Giannitsa).
In der Dresdner Innenstadt war es damals verboten, Fabrikgebäude zu errichten, die als solche erkennbar waren. Daher wurde der Architekt Martin Hammitzsch beauftragt, das Werk im Stil einer Moschee zu erbauen – so entsprach der Bau nicht nur den Anforderungen der Stadt, sondern war auch gleichzeitig ein einprägsames Werbemonument für die orientalischen Zigarettenmarken.
Die Aufsehen erregende Architektur der Yenidze bildete von Anfang an einen starken Kontrast zu den Dresdner Barockbauten und stieß zuerst auf heftige Ablehnung. Der Architekt wurde wegen seines Entwurfes sogar aus der Reichsarchitektenkammer ausgeschlossen. Trotz der Anfeindungen erfüllte das Gebäude seinen Werbezweck, und inzwischen ist die Yenidze zu einem der Wahrzeichen der Stadt Dresden geworden. Nach der Wiedervereinigung wurde es originalgetreu saniert und restauriert und dient heute als Bürogebäude, in der Kuppel befinden sich ein Restaurant mit Biergarten auf dem Dach sowie ein Theater.

At first glance the building looks like a mosque, but it is not, and what looks like a minaret is just a well-hidden factory chimney.
The building was built between 1907 and 1909 on behalf of the entrepreneur Hugo Zietz for his “Oriental Tobacco and Cigarette Factory Yenidze”, named after the Turkish tobacco-growing region of Yenidze, which today belongs to Greece (around the small town of Giannitsa).
At that time, it was forbidden to build factory buildings that were recognizable as such in downtown Dresden. Therefore, the architect Martin Hammitzsch was commissioned to build the work in the style of a mosque - so the building not only met the city's requirements, but was also a memorable advertising monument for the oriental cigarette brands.
From the outset, the Yenidze's spectacular architecture formed a strong contrast to Dresden's baroque buildings and was initially met with strong rejection. The architect was even excluded from the Reich Chamber of Architects because of his design. Despite the hostility, the building fulfilled its advertising purpose and the Yenidze has now become one of the landmarks of the city of Dresden. After reunification, it was renovated and restored true to the original and now serves as an office building. The dome houses a restaurant with a beer garden on the roof and a theater.

I am sarcastic, can you cope with my rejection?
One time, did it two times, it's now, you reach your own reflection
Turn around, go down, down, down, down, down, down
Why can't you leave me 'cause I am saying that I had it all
It's like you cannot see it's just what I wanted

I'm on the edge, it's like I'm caged, I'm mass destruction
Eye for an eye, I see you know you face your deconstruction

The former Van Nelle Factory (Dutch: Van Nellefabriek) on the Schie river in Rotterdam, is an important historic industrial building in the world.
The buildings were designed by architect Leendert van der Vlugt from the Brinkman & Van der Vlugt office in cooperation with civil engineer J.G. Wiebenga, at that time a specialist for constructions in reinforced concrete, and built between 1925 and 1931. It is an example of Nieuwe Bouwen, modern architecture in the Netherlands.
In the 20th century it was a factory, processing coffee, tea and tobacco and later on additional chewing gum, cigarettes, instant pudding and rice. Currently it houses a wide variety of new media and design companies and is known as the Van Nelle Design Factory ("Van Nelle Ontwerpfabriek" in Dutch). Some of the areas are used for meetings, conventions and events.
The Van Nelle Factory shows the influence of Russian constructivism.
The Van Nelle Factory is a Dutch national monument (Rijksmonument) and in June 2014 it was added to the Unesco list of world heritage sites.

“...to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,
I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,
I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,
I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,
I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”

Chartreuse du Reposoir, Haute-Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France.
La Chartreuse du Reposoir es una antigua cartuja situada en el territorio del municipio del mismo nombre, en el departamento de Alta Saboya, en la región de Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes.
Situado en el valle del Foron du Reposoir, en un circo boscoso al borde de un pequeño lago, los edificios que bordean el río están dominados por la cadena Reposoir al este y la cadena Bargy al noroeste. El establecimiento fue fundado en 1151 por el Beato Cartujo Juan de España y estuvo ocupado ininterrumpidamente hasta la Revolución Francesa y luego entre 1866 y 1901. La antigua Cartuja alberga una comunidad de monjas carmelitas desde 1932 y hoy se llama Monasterio del Carmelo de Reposoir. La Chartreuse está clasificada como monumento histórico.
La cartuja forma una plaza orientada de oeste a este, y reúne en su recinto lo que originalmente se llamaba la Correrie que estaba separada del monasterio.
El gran claustro rodea todas las casas de los Padres Cartujos; sus bóvedas en forma de silbato penetran los muros sin apoyo. Así llega cada monje a su casa. Las celdas de los Padres constituyen el cuadrado al norte y al sur y lo completan al este. El muro del cerramiento conecta los del norte entre sí; al sur y al este, se desprenden de él. Al pie de cada uno hay un parterre de flores de forma cuadrada. En la pared de enfrente está fijada una gran cruz negra, que el cenobita ve necesariamente cuando mira hacia afuera.
Las celdas se indican con una letra del alfabeto. Al lado de la puerta hay un pequeño portillo donde el solitario viene a recoger sus provisiones. Si necesita otras cosas, sólo tiene que dejar allí una nota con la letra de su celular. La cama tiene forma de armario, la ropa de cama se compone de un gran palet de lona, un almohadón, sábanas y unas cuantas mantas de lana que sustituyen a las de antaño. Junto al lecho se encuentra el oratorio, formado por una sillería y un reclinatorio, donde el monje recita la mayor parte de los servicios.
Al oeste de este claustro se encuentran la iglesia, la sala capitular y el pequeño claustro que data del siglo XVI y restaurado en 1929. Su construcción se atribuye a la generosidad de la Casa de Saboya cuyas armas aparecen entre las dieciséis claves policromadas. Este claustro está formado por cuatro galerías cubiertas que rodean un patio. Cada arcada de arco apuntado que da al patio se subdivide en una red de tres pequeños arcos polibados y tracería flamígera. Los grandes pilares cuadrados, la prohibición sistemática de la decoración escultórica y el rechazo de la vertical dan a este edificio del gótico tardío un aspecto achaparrado, pesado y austero. Las bóvedas de crucería, características de la arquitectura gótica, se basan en dos arcos apuntados que se cruzan en diagonal. Estas bóvedas y arcos están formados por claves, piedras talladas en forma de cuñas, apoyadas unas sobre otras. La clave es la llave central colocada en lo alto de una bóveda y que bloquea las demás piedras en la posición deseada.
La iglesia, cuya primera piedra fue colocada por Aymon I de Faucigny, hermano de Ardutius de Faucigny, obispo de Ginebra, es de estilo ojival. A lo largo del muro norte de la iglesia se encuentran la Capilla del Beato Juan de España (ahora sacristía interior) y la Capilla de San Antonio (hoy sacristía exterior para sacerdotes).
The Chartreuse du Reposoir is a former charterhouse located on the territory of the municipality of the same name, in the Haute-Savoie department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Located in the valley of the Foron du Reposoir, in a wooded cirque on the edge of a small lake, the buildings bordering the river are dominated by the Reposoir chain to the east and the Bargy chain to the northwest. The establishment was founded in 1151 by the Blessed Carthusian John of Spain and was occupied continuously until the French Revolution and then between 1866 and 1901. The former Carthusian has housed a community of Carmelite nuns since 1932 and today is called the Monastery of the Carmel of Reposoir. La Chartreuse is classified as a historical monument.
The charterhouse forms a square oriented from west to east, and brings together in its enclosure what was originally called the Correrie, which was separated from the monastery.
The great cloister surrounds all the houses of the Carthusian Fathers; Its whistle-shaped vaults penetrate the walls without support. This is how each monk arrives at his house. The cells of the Fathers constitute the square to the north and south and complete it to the east. The enclosure wall connects the northern ones to each other; to the south and east, they detach themselves from it. At the foot of each one is a square flower bed. On the opposite wall is fixed a large black cross, which the Cenobite necessarily sees when he looks out.
Cells are indicated by a letter of the alphabet. Next to the door there is a small gate where the loner comes to collect his supplies. If he needs other things, he just has to leave a note there with the handwriting on his cell phone. The bed is shaped like a wardrobe, the bedding consists of a large canvas pallet, a pillow, sheets and a few wool blankets that replace those of yesteryear. Next to the bed is the oratory, made up of a chair and a kneeler, where the monk recites most of the services.
To the west of this cloister are the church, the chapter house and the small cloister dating from the 16th century and restored in 1929. Its construction is attributed to the generosity of the House of Savoy whose arms appear among the sixteen polychrome keys. This cloister is made up of four covered galleries that surround a patio. Each pointed arch arcade facing the courtyard is subdivided into a network of three small polybate arches and flamboyant tracery. The large square pillars, the systematic prohibition of sculptural decoration and the rejection of the vertical give this late Gothic building a squat, heavy and austere appearance. The cross vaults, characteristic of Gothic architecture, are based on two pointed arches that intersect diagonally. These vaults and arches are formed by keystones, stones carved in the shape of wedges, resting on each other. The key is the central key placed at the top of a vault and which locks the other stones in the desired position.
The church, whose foundation stone was laid by Aymon I de Faucigny, brother of Ardutius de Faucigny, bishop of Geneva, is in the ogival style. Along the north wall of the church are the Chapel of Blessed John of Spain (now the interior sacristy) and the Chapel of Saint Anthony (today the exterior sacristy for priests).

The idea of a national garden in Singapore started in 1822 when Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore and a keen naturalist, developed the first ‘Botanical and Experimental Garden’ at Fort Canning. It was only in 1859 that the Gardens at its present site was founded and laid out in the English Landscape Movement’s style by an Agri-Horticultural society.
The Gardens has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.

Tutti dicono che l'amore fa male.
Non è così.
La solitudine fa male, il rifiuto fa male, perdere qualcuno fa male.
Tutti confondono queste cose con l'amore, ma in realtà ll' amore è l'unica cosa in questo mondo che copre il dolore e che ci fa sentire ancora meravigliosi..
( Oscar Wilde )

Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not true.
Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts.
All these things are confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again...
No one can blame you
For walking away.
Too much rejection.
No love injection.Down in the underground
You'll find someone true.
Down in the underground;

Las celdas de los Padres constituyen el cuadrado al norte y al sur y lo completan al este. El muro del cerramiento conecta los del norte entre sí; al sur y al este, se desprenden de él. Al pie de cada uno hay un parterre de flores de forma cuadrada. En la pared de enfrente está fijada una gran cruz negra, que el cenobita ve necesariamente cuando mira hacia afuera.
Las celdas se indican con una letra del alfabeto. Al lado de la puerta hay un pequeño portillo donde el solitario viene a recoger sus provisiones. Si necesita otras cosas, sólo tiene que dejar allí una nota con la letra de su celular. La cama tiene forma de armario, la ropa de cama se compone de un gran palet de lona, un almohadón, sábanas y unas cuantas mantas de lana que sustituyen a las de antaño. Junto al lecho se encuentra el oratorio, formado por una sillería y un reclinatorio, donde el monje recita la mayor parte de los servicios.
Al oeste de este claustro se encuentran la iglesia, la sala capitular y el pequeño claustro que data del siglo XVI y restaurado en 1929. Su construcción se atribuye a la generosidad de la Casa de Saboya cuyas armas aparecen entre las dieciséis claves policromadas. Este claustro está formado por cuatro galerías cubiertas que rodean un patio. Cada arcada de arco apuntado que da al patio se subdivide en una red de tres pequeños arcos polibados y tracería flamígera. Los grandes pilares cuadrados, la prohibición sistemática de la decoración escultórica y el rechazo de la vertical dan a este edificio del gótico tardío un aspecto achaparrado, pesado y austero. Las bóvedas de crucería, características de la arquitectura gótica, se basan en dos arcos apuntados que se cruzan en diagonal. Estas bóvedas y arcos están formados por claves, piedras talladas en forma de cuñas, apoyadas unas sobre otras. La clave es la llave central colocada en lo alto de una bóveda y que bloquea las demás piedras en la posición deseada.
La iglesia, cuya primera piedra fue colocada por Aymon I de Faucigny, hermano de Ardutius de Faucigny, obispo de Ginebra, es de estilo ojival. A lo largo del muro norte de la iglesia se encuentran la Capilla del Beato Juan de España (ahora sacristía interior) y la Capilla de San Antonio (hoy sacristía exterior para sacerdotes).
The Chartreuse du Reposoir is a former charterhouse located on the territory of the municipality of the same name, in the Haute-Savoie department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Located in the valley of the Foron du Reposoir, in a wooded cirque on the edge of a small lake, the buildings bordering the river are dominated by the Reposoir chain to the east and the Bargy chain to the northwest. The establishment was founded in 1151 by the Blessed Carthusian John of Spain and was occupied continuously until the French Revolution and then between 1866 and 1901. The former Carthusian has housed a community of Carmelite nuns since 1932 and today is called the Monastery of the Carmel of Reposoir. La Chartreuse is classified as a historical monument.
The charterhouse forms a square oriented from west to east, and brings together in its enclosure what was originally called the Correrie, which was separated from the monastery.
The great cloister surrounds all the houses of the Carthusian Fathers; Its whistle-shaped vaults penetrate the walls without support. This is how each monk arrives at his house. The cells of the Fathers constitute the square to the north and south and complete it to the east. The enclosure wall connects the northern ones to each other; to the south and east, they detach themselves from it. At the foot of each one is a square flower bed. On the opposite wall is fixed a large black cross, which the Cenobite necessarily sees when he looks out.
Cells are indicated by a letter of the alphabet. Next to the door there is a small gate where the loner comes to collect his supplies. If he needs other things, he just has to leave a note there with the handwriting on his cell phone. The bed is shaped like a wardrobe, the bedding consists of a large canvas pallet, a pillow, sheets and a few wool blankets that replace those of yesteryear. Next to the bed is the oratory, made up of a chair and a kneeler, where the monk recites most of the services.
To the west of this cloister are the church, the chapter house and the small cloister dating from the 16th century and restored in 1929. Its construction is attributed to the generosity of the House of Savoy whose arms appear among the sixteen polychrome keys. This cloister is made up of four covered galleries that surround a patio. Each pointed arch arcade facing the courtyard is subdivided into a network of three small polybate arches and flamboyant tracery. The large square pillars, the systematic prohibition of sculptural decoration and the rejection of the vertical give this late Gothic building a squat, heavy and austere appearance. The cross vaults, characteristic of Gothic architecture, are based on two pointed arches that intersect diagonally. These vaults and arches are formed by keystones, stones carved in the shape of wedges, resting on each other. The key is the central key placed at the top of a vault and which locks the other stones in the desired position.
The church, whose foundation stone was laid by Aymon I de Faucigny, brother of Ardutius de Faucigny, bishop of Geneva, is in the ogival style. Along the north wall of the church are the Chapel of Blessed John of Spain (now the interior sacristy) and the Chapel of Saint Anthony (today the exterior sacristy for priests).
Mom and Dad seem to be quite upset to be visited by the young...but maybe it could be something else. The juvenile eagle flew on to the top perch and the adults went crazy, quite vocal and animated. He stayed for only a couple of minutes and then flew off. I've seen these same eagles in the same spot several times and I assume they are related.
Nowadays, the rainbow is popular for a variety of reasons. Perhaps many don't know that the Bible recounts how it was chosen by God to be a memorial and a promise. It reminds us of God's judgement of mankind's wickedness that prompted Him to destroy all but Noah and his immediate family by a worldwide flood. You can read about it in Genesis chapters six to nine.
The rainbow serves as a promise that God will never again use a flood to punish a sinful world. But that does not mean that God is no longer angered by the wickedness of mankind and our rejection of Him. So the rainbow is also an important reminder that God judges sin.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
(Galatians 6:7)

An American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) sits in a small, pool fed by a natural spring. Decades ago, the pool was a source of water for dairy cows. Now, it's a haven for amphibians (and waterfowl). (Apologies to Joe Strummer.)

Just a few leaves on this oak tree are still there finishing winter season, resisting cold, wind, fungi attacks, and the rejection of its own father tree. Our world is full of people who resist adversity constantly too....in honor of them.
Tag 015/365 (2019) im Regen in der Stadt warten die Tannenbäume auf die Abfuhr, ob sie diesen auch mitnehmen?
keine Nadeln, dafür noch die Kugeln
in the rain in the city, the Christmas trees wait for the rejection, whether they also take this with them?
no needles, but still the christmas tree balls

I choose to love you in silence, for in silence I find no rejection.
I choose to love you in loneliness, for in loneliness no one owns you but me.
I choose to adore you from a distance, for distance will shield me from pain.
I choose to kiss you in the wind, for the wind is gentler than my lips.
I choose to hold you in my dreams, for in my dreams, you have no end.

I scouted this location for my moonrise images (see previous posts) but having determined the angle of the moon using an online tool I realised this spot wasn't going to work... That said, a blue hour shot was well in order. You're actually looking from County Mayo, Ireland across an unseen river to the Friary, which is in County Galway. In processing this, I was reminded of Ansel Adams' most famous work, 'Moonrise Hernandez' and so I've tried to make this a tribute to the master's style, limiting myself to digital dodge and burn techniques, and keeping the digital noise to substitute for actual film grain. Enjoy...
