NOT OK
It’s not like i chose this
I was not given a choice
In a room full of stories
Mine is just another voice
How does she do it?
Without making any sound?
-I cry after hours
And scream when no one is around
Here comes a battle
Here’s another uphill climb
So Strap on some courage
You should be well Prepared this time
Just because i’m still standing
Just because i have survived
Doesn’t mean i don’t get scared
Or wanna give up every time
I don’t feel like being strong today
I wanna fall apart sometimes
i wanna Break!
Next time they ask i’ll tell the truth
I’ll say
I’m not ok
I’m not ok!
I don’t feel like carrying all this weight
Or being broken around those
Who can’t relate
Next time they ask
I’ll tell the truth i’ll say
That I’m not ok
I’m not ok!
After he left us
After everything went dark
She’s all that matters
She’s my only little spark
It’s Not like i don’t want to
Stay in bed, never leave Home
But If i don’t do it
Chances are it won’t get done
God gives his toughest
Battles to his strongest ones
built out of courage
In the Image of his only son
I am a soldier
I can take the whole world on
So Watch as i fight this
And Give your praise once i have won.

A view of the castle and landmark stone in Oban.
While sailing on any of the ferries, from Oban, Scotland, you will pass the Dog Stone, which is quite amazing as it was once a huge sea stack, but now it seems to be growing out of the land with trees protruding from its summit. Science tells us that this is made from rock known as Conglomerate, deposited about 415 million years ago, but I like the following story about this ancient stone.
The Dog Stone – Its name is derived from a legend that relates that this is where the giant, Fingal, tied up his dog, Bran, when he went hunting in the Hebrides. As Bran circled and struggled, he wore a groove around the base of the stone with its colossal chain and they say you can still hear its ghostly howls.

Master Fox perched on a tree ! Or the impostor syndrome
LE CORBEAU ET LE RENARD
Maître Corbeau, sur un arbre perché,
Tenait en son bec un fromage.
Maître Renard, par l'odeur alléché,
Lui tint à peu près ce langage :
Et bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau,
Que vous êtes joli ! que vous me semblez beau !
Sans mentir, si votre ramage
Se rapporte à votre plumage,
Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois.
À ces mots le Corbeau ne se sent pas de joie,
Et pour montrer sa belle voix,
Il ouvre un large bec, laisse tomber sa proie.
Le Renard s'en saisit, et dit : Mon bon Monsieur,
Apprenez que tout flatteur
Vit aux dépens de celui qui l'écoute.
Cette leçon vaut bien un fromage sans doute.
Le Corbeau honteux et confus
Jura, mais un peu tard, qu'on ne l'y prendrait plus

THE FOX AND THE CROW
Master Crow, perched on a tree,
Holding in its beak a cheese.
Master Fox, enticed by the smell,
He spoke to him more or less in this language:
And hello, Mr. Raven,
How pretty you are! you seem to me beautiful !
Without lying, if your prattling
Relates to your plumage,
You are the Phoenix of the hosts of these woods.
At these words the Raven feels no joy,
And to show his beautiful voice,
He opens his beak wide, lets his prey fall.
The Fox seizes it, and says: My good sir,
Learn that every flatterer
Lives at the expense of the listener.
This lesson is well worth a cheese no doubt.
The Ashamed and Confused Raven
Swore, but a little late, that we wouldn't take it anymore

St. Olaf’s Church (the white tower with the green spire) in Tallinn, Estonia, is believed to have been built in the 12th century and to have been the centre for old Tallinn's Scandinavian community before Denmark conquered Tallinn in 1219. Its dedication relates to King Olaf II of Norway (also known as Saint Olaf, 995–1030). The first known written records referring to the church date back to 1267. It was extensively rebuilt during the 14th century.
In 1590, the total height of the church tower was 115.35–125 m. The tower has been hit by lightning around 10 times, and the whole church has burned down three times throughout its known existence. According to one source it may have been the tallest building in the world from 1549 to 1625, but this claim is highly speculative. After several rebuildings, its spire is now 123.8 meters tall. (Wikipedia)
The two turrets on either side of the church tower are part of the old city walls.

Are you running in a circle?
You can't be too careful
And you can't relate it
'Cause it's complicated
Oh you're gonna get it right some time
It's how you see the world
How many times can you see?
You can't believe what you learn
Is there something missing?
There's nobody listening
Are you scared of what you don't know?
Don't wanna end up on your own?
You need conversation
And information
Gonna get it right sometimes
You just wanna get it right sometimes
It's how you see the world
How many times have you heard?
You can't believe a word
It's how you see the world
Don't you worry yourself
'Cause nobody can learn

Suzanne Vega is one of my favorite singers. This song Luka was so impressive that I couldn't get it out of my head after I heard it for the first time. Last year I read Dennis Lehane's The Kenzie-Gennaro novels. I couldn't help relate the song to the main characters' stories, Patrick Kenzie's childhood and Angela Gennaro's marriage. Dark, sad... Like the tears on the lotus flower's petals...

Oh, why can't I be what you need?
A new improved version of me
But I'm nothing so good, no, I'm nothing...
Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs
Of violence, of love, and of sorrow
I beg for just one more tomorrow!
Where you hold me down, fold me in
Deep deep deep in the heart of your sins
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
Here I'm pinned between darkness and light
Bleached and blinded by these nights
Where I'm tossing and tortured till dawn
By you, visions of you, then you're gone
The shock bleeds the red from my face
When I hear someone's taken my place
How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel?
When all, all that I did was for you...
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two over you
Over you
I'd break in two
I would break in two for you
Now you see me
Now you don't
Now you need me
Now you don't
I'm posting this image to my Flickr gallery with a story... It was taken by my daughter. Its one of her first images. She is on the autism spectrum and has always struggled to express herself in ways that other people can relate to. This image she made fills me with a whole wave of emotion. I took her with me for a walk at a park one day and gave her a point and shoot camera to use since I was carrying mine. It was completely un-coached, just a girl on a walk with her dad at a large park in Seattle. Shortly after that we moved and I packed the camera away. Just the other day I found it in a box, the SD card still in it... So I downloaded them. The images she brought home are so expressive and amazing it takes my breath away. I'm just sharing this one image because it gives me hope. And, I hope it speaks to you as well. You are not alone. God bless.
Wat Phnom ("Mountain Pagoda") is a Buddhist temple (wat) located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It was built in 1372, and stands 27 metres (88.5 ft) above the ground. It is the tallest religious structure in the city. The pagoda was given the name of Wat Preah Chedey Borapaut. Wat Phnom is the central point of Phnom Penh.
Legend relates that a wealthy widow called Penh (commonly referred to as Daun Penh – Grandmother Penh – in Khmer) found a large koki tree in the river. Inside the tree she found four bronze statues of the Buddha. Penh constructed a small shrine on an artificial hill made by the people living in the village to protect the sacred statues. Eventually this became a sacred site and sanctuary where people would make blessings and pray.
Then it came to the year of the snake 1437 suggests King Ponhea Yat ordered His Excellency Decho Srei to raise the mount even higher when he finished building the new Royal Palace in the new city he then named Krong Chaktomok Mongkol or simply known as Phnom Penh. The prominent stupa immediately west of the sanctuary contains the ashes of the king and his royal family.
Wat Phnom is the center of celebration during Khmer New Year, and Pchum Ben.
Wat Phnom appeared on the Travel Channel documentary, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. It also served as the Pit Stop for the 4th Leg of The Amazing Race 15.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

The Swiss Way relates the history of Switzerland surrounded by a scenic landscape. The trail was constructed as a joint project of the cantons on the occasion of the 700th anniversary celebrations of the Confederation (1291-1991). It begins on the Rütli Meadow, where the Confederation was founded, and ends in Brunnen in the Swiss Expatriates Square (Platz der Auslandschweizer).
This piece of national architecture of 19th Century relates to south of Polavshchyna and that as of nowadays has disappeared. It was built in 70th of 19th Century.
The house from Revasivka village has never been reconstructed since it had been built. Its window frames were re-made in the mid-50th of 20th Century. The walls are decorated with clay of different color; inside there is a carved cupboard, painted trunk and national pictures in interior.
The house from Revazivka village was discovered in 1976 by an architect Lukianchuk V.D. and restored in the Museum in 1977-1978.
Few words about Revazivka village, as it were never mentioned in modern sources. In the middle of 19th Century, this village was called Novakivka and belonged to Ploshchanska volost of Poltava povit in Poltava hubernia.
It was a village of a proprietor, with 179 souls in 18 yards. Officially, Revazivka is called sloboda. There were 219 inhabitants in 44 homesteads.
Nowadays, the village of Revazivka has joined to Grekopavlivka village. It now relates to Stovbynska village council in Novosanzharskyi district of Poltavska Region.
The house is of two rooms (a home, a mudroom), of combined structure. A two-room house could be met only in poor villages belonging to proprietors. A three-room house was more traditional for Poltava area.
The house is built on piles. Above the windows, piles are covered with shingles. A longitudinal ceiling beam and upper parts of piles have tips on sidewall adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. A lumber lay on tips to support auxiliary beams of the roof. Ceiling comprises ceiling beam and slyzhni. The slyzhni are surfaced by caber, and then covered with clay.
The four-slope roof of the house is low, supported by rafters and covered with cane sheaves, as there were a lot of cane in the waterlog river valley near Revazivka.
Combines, log and framework structure of a national dwelling on south Poltavshchyna was typical of this region, poor in building wood.
Especially interesting was filling of this house’s framework walls: there were twiggen with mullein. This grass grew high near Revazivka, and had strong stems. The local say: “Even shipworms never eat mullein”.
This is a house of two rooms (a home and a mudroom) with framework and log walls. Under the windows, walls are framework: horizontal hlytsi are nailed to vertical piles, with osier between them. Above the windows, planks of three parts are fixed to piles. A longitudinal ceiling beam is fixed thereto and two transverse ones (one in the home, another – in the mudroom). The longitudinal beam and tops of planks have overlaps on sidewall, adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. Inside and outside, the house is clayed and whitewashed, except for back wall, only clayed. The house stays now on concrete basement.
Area – 53.92 square meters (5.15 x 10.47).
Хата з с. Ревазівка, Новосанжарського р-ну, Полтавської обл.
Пам′ятка традиційного народного будівництва XIX століття в південній Полтавщині, яких на даний момент в регіоні не існує. Побудована в 70 – ті роки ХІХ століття.
Хата з с. Ревазівка від її існування не перебудовувалася. У середині 50-х років ХХ століття перероблені віконні рами. Підводка стін кольоровими глинами, різьблений мисник, мальована скриня, народний живопис в інтер’єрі.
Хата с. Ревазівка виявлена в 1976 році архітектором Лук′янчуком В.Д. і реставрована в Музеї у 1977 – 1978 роках.
Коротко про село Ревазівку, оскільки в сучасних джерелах воно не згадується. Поселення Ревазівка в середині XIX століття називалося Новаківка і належало до Площанської волості Полтавського повіту Полтавської губернії.
Було воно поміщицьким селом і проживало там 179 душ у 18 дворах. Старожили розповідають, що Ревазівкою володів пан Ревазов. У 1926 році Ревазівка офіційно зветься слободою, з числом мешканців – 219, які проживали у 44 господарствах.
Зараз село Ревазівка з’єднане з селом Грекопавлівкою і належить до Стовбинської сільради Новосанжарського району Полтавської обл..
Хата дводільна /хата, сіни/, комбінованої конструкції. Дводільні хати траплялися тут тільки в бідних поміщицьких селах. Традиційно на Полтавщині було тридільне житло.
Хата збудована на сохах. На сохи, вище вікон покладено ощіп. Подовжній сволок та верхні вівнця ощіпу мають з покутнього причілку випуски, утворюючи значний винос даху. На випуски укладено брус, на який спираються наріжники даху. Основу хатньої стелі утворюють сволок і слижні. По слижнях укладено щільно жердини, а зверху шар м’ятої глини.
Чотирисхилий дах хати невисокий, на кроквах. Покриття з очерету, техніка – «парки». Очерету біля Ревазівки росло багато на заболоченій річковій долині.
Комбінована зрубно – каркасна конструкція народного житла південної Полтавщини була характерною для цього регіону, бідного на будівельний ліс.
Особливо цікавим було заповнення каркасу стін даної хати с. Ревазівка: стіни були заплетені коров’яком. Коров′як поблизу Ревазівки ріс високий, з міцним стеблом. «Коров′яка і шашель не бере».
Дводільне житло (хата, сіни). Стіни каркасно – зрубні. До вікон стіни каркасні: до вертикальних сох прибито горизонтальні глиці, між якими всторч заплетена лоза. На сохи, вище вікон, покладео ощіп з трьох вінців. В ощіп врубано подовжній сволок та два поперечні (один у хаті і один у сінях). Подовжній сволок та верхні вінця ощіпу мають випуски з покутнього причілку, утворюючи значний винос даху. Хата ззовні і всередині обмащена і побілена крім задньої, порудованої стіни. Хата встановлена на бетонний фундамент.
Площа - 53,92 м2 (5.15 х 10.47).
The house relates to the middle 19th Century; its last owner was Kuryk Mykola Vasylovych. The house comprises of three parts – a house, a mudroom and a small house. Its external walls aren’t covered, only strips are painted around its windows and doors. Such strips are specific for houses from Vyzhytskyj and Putylivskyj districts of Chernivtsi Region. Art painting and strips are very distinct decorations for houses of lowland Bukovyna. The house’s joyful interior is created by grapes depicted on the stove, around windows and on pokut (the sacred place of a traditional home). The most widespread patterns in Korytne village are grapes, arrow-wood leaves, hops and crosses on bases.
The house is built of smereka and poplar wood, its area equals to 58.8 square meters.
Хата із села Коритне Вижницького району Чернівецької області
Датується серединою ХІХ ст. Останній власник - Курик Микола Васильович. Складається із трьох частин - хати, сіней і хатчини. Зовні хата не мащена, тільки підведені смуги коло вікон та дверей. Така підводка характерна тільки для хат з Вижницького та Путильського районів Чернівецької області. Характерною декоративною оздобою для хат підгірської Буковини є розпис і підводка. Святковий інтер’єр у великій хаті створює розпис у виноград на печі, коло вікон на покуті. Найбільш поширений розпис у с.Коритному – «виноград», «калиновий лист», «хмелик» та «хрести на постаменті».
Хата з Буковини. Складена вона з кругляка смереки і тополі в прості замки з торцями. До верхів зрубу торці подовжуються і переходять ніби в кронштейни. Дах чотирисхилий, покритий соломою.
Площа споруди – 58,8 кв.м.

It relates to 18th Century. As of the time of transfer to the museum, the house was the oldest in the village and belonged to Oros family. The house has two premises: house and mudroom. It is one of the most ancient types of house planning in Zakarpattia. Walls of the house are constructed with wide oak cut blocks. Its high four-sloping roof is covered with straw.
This house is the oldest Zakarpattia house in our museum. It displays specific features of national building in valley of Tereblia-river and the middle reaches of Tysa River. The house’s area is 35.4 square meters.
Look at the exterior of the hut:
Характерною ознакою житла лемків (етнографічної групи українського народу), як і бойків, були білий та синій кольори.
Хата із с. Теребля, Тячівського району Закарпатської області
Датується XVIII ст. На час перенесення до музею хата була найстарішою в селі і належала родині Оросів. Хата дводільна: хата, сіни – є одним із давніх варіантів планування житла на Закарпатті. Стіни хати складені з широких дубових колених брусів. Високий чотирисхилий дах вкритий соломою.
Це найстаріша хата Закарпаття в експозиції нашого музею. Вона розкриває особливості народного будівництва у долині ріки Теребля та середньої течії р. Тиси. Площа хати — 35, 4 кв.м.
Hams at the Easter market on Staromestske Namesti in Prague
Something attracted me to this setting. Certain things relate to certain other things. Where's the real pig here?
When arriving at Sargeant Beach, I could not help but notice the most unusual item that had floated ashore. A tree branch had lodged itself in the rocks on the beach in a most usual, and peculiar way.
It was fun working on this articulated and oddly shaped newcomer to Sargeant Beach. I wanted to illustrate that its final resting place, left it reaching for the sky. That it still longs to get back to the ocean. and how it relates to its surrounding area. While a forested area is close by, it seems to hover over distant islands. And how its unique form, differs from the rest.
I saw this cute super cute shirt and skirt combo at collabor88 from cheezu and paired it with my blueberry can't relate boots and stockings...and yes this is about as goth as I get lol
Was dressing for a Halloween event and realized I really had a look, good or bad is relative, anyway, Kept adding things till I was pleased. Thought it was a good look for a picture. Hopefully the actual Halloween outfit goes as well. There's this great sim for pics like this... Nightbrook Hollow.

Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
Woo-hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo-hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eyes
She held me spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon
Woo-hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo-hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eyes
Well, I know you want a lover
Let me tell you, brother
She's been sleepin' in the Devil's bed
And there's some rumors going 'round
Someone's underground
She can rock you in the nighttime 'til your skin turns red
It's not like I chose this
I was not given a choice
In a room full of stories
Mine is just another voice
How does she do it?
Without making any sound?
I cry after hours
And scream when no one is around
Here comes a battle
Here's another uphill climb
So strap on some courage
You should be well prepared this time
Just because I'm still standing
Just because I have survived
Doesn't mean I don't get scared
Or wanna give up every time
Cause I don't feel like being strong today
I wanna fall apart sometimes
I wanna break
Next time they ask I'll tell the truth and I'll say
That I'm not ok
That I'm not ok
I don't feel like carrying all this weight
Or being broken around those who can't relate
Next time they ask I'll tell the truth and I'll say
That I'm not ok
That I'm not...
God gives his toughest
Battles to his strongest ones
Built out of courage
In the image of his only son
And I am a soldier
I can take the whole world on
So watch as I fight this
And give your praise once I have won..................

The epitome of Catalan culture is the Liceo Opera House. One of its most glamorous settings is the Hall of Mirrors. It has allegorícal paintings on the ceiling with texts relating to opera and music Most of today's opera goes end up there during intermissions.
Ganesha or Ganesh, also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. His image is found throughout India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bali (Indonesia) and Bangladesh and in countries with large ethnic Indian populations including Fiji, Mauritius and Trinidad and Tobago. Hindu denominations worship him regardless of affiliations.Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists.
Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits.
Ganesha likely emerged as a deity as early as the 1st century CE,but most certainly by the 4th and 5th centuries CE, during the Gupta period, although he inherited traits from Vedic and pre-Vedic precursors. Hindu mythology identifies him as the restored son of Parvati and Shiva of the Shaivism tradition, but he is a pan-Hindu god found in its various traditions. In the Ganapatya tradition of Hinduism, Ganesha is the supreme deity. The principal texts on Ganesha include the Ganesha Purana, the Mudgala Purana, and the Ganapati Atharvashirsa. Brahma Purana and Brahmanda Purana are other two Puranic genre encyclopaedic texts that deal with Ganesha.

This year, the FFF+ monthly challenge of FOTF has changed from 'five images on the fifth' to 'freestyle on the fifth', where each month a member of the group chooses a theme and the image can be a single image, a collage or anything you like as long as it relates to the theme and is uploaded on the fifth of each month.
This month the theme of 'reflection' was chosen by Jenni.
I had several ideas in mind for this wonderful theme but after spending almost the entire month struck down with the flu and still recovering, time and the will to do anything, was not on my side.
I actually wasn't going to post anything at all for this months theme as I didn't feel it was creative enough but the lovely Margaret convinced me to, so thank you so much my dear friend.
We are participating in this weekend’s Wanderlust with the Daisy Field. Wanderlust Weekend is July 4th and 5th. The Daisy Field will be set to 50L, this weekend only.
Wanderlust Weekend is a weekly sales event that celebrates items that relate to all things magical, fairytale, fantasy, adventure, royal, whimsical, etc. Each store has an item out for 50Ls or less. Use their automatically updated HUD to teleport and shop at each store.
Add texture and depth to your land with the Daisy Field. The Daisy Field are large patches of brilliant white daisies on dark green foliage that are highly detailed. Step your landscaping up a notch by creating patches under trees, in open fields or along borders. These 100% mesh flowers have copy and modify permissions and the land impact grows as the item is stretched.
The River Ver in Hertfordshire is a chalk stream and has cut, modestly I should say, into the surrounding limestone - just enough to create a path through the Chiltern Hills, and enough for the Romans to build a road here connecting London with the North. The history of the village of Markyate is entirely shaped by this road (and its successors) and all the functions relating to the transport of goods and people. Some houses such as these ones in the foreground have crept up the flanks of the river ("Pickford Hill" in this case), but most stayed down in the valley ground. Up on the hills you would find farms and agriculture. It is also true that small industries have moved in - together with lots of interesting people who decided to leave the big city.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.
Two lovers stand in the surf, locked in a kiss that looks poetic… until you remember the water is cold, the sand is uneven, and someone definitely stepped on something squishy.
This black‑and‑white capture turns a classic romantic moment into a slice of real‑world chaos, the kind of beach date where passion meets poor planning. It’s tender, messy, and painfully relatable, wrapped in a snarky wink at how love actually feels outside the movies.
My latest photography is now available for purchase at crsimages.pixels.com/, featuring prints, framed art, and more from my curated collections.
The house relates to the middle 19th Century; its last owner was Kuryk Mykola Vasylovych. The house comprises of three parts – a house, a mudroom and a small house. Its external walls aren’t covered, only strips are painted around its windows and doors. Such strips are specific for houses from Vyzhytskyj and Putylivskyj districts of Chernivtsi Region. Art painting and strips are very distinct decorations for houses of lowland Bukovyna. The house’s joyful interior is created by grapes depicted on the stove, around windows and on pokut (the sacred place of a traditional home). The most widespread patterns in Korytne village are grapes, arrow-wood leaves, hops and crosses on bases.
The house is built of smereka and poplar wood, its area equals to 58.8 square meters.
Хата із села Коритне Вижницького району Чернівецької області
Датується серединою ХІХ ст. Останній власник - Курик Микола Васильович. Складається із трьох частин - хати, сіней і хатчини. Зовні хата не мащена, тільки підведені смуги коло вікон та дверей. Така підводка характерна тільки для хат з Вижницького та Путильського районів Чернівецької області. Характерною декоративною оздобою для хат підгірської Буковини є розпис і підводка. Святковий інтер’єр у великій хаті створює розпис у виноград на печі, коло вікон на покуті. Найбільш поширений розпис у с.Коритному – «виноград», «калиновий лист», «хмелик» та «хрести на постаменті».
Хата з Буковини. Складена вона з кругляка смереки і тополі в прості замки з торцями. До верхів зрубу торці подовжуються і переходять ніби в кронштейни. Дах чотирисхилий, покритий соломою.
Площа споруди – 58,8 кв.м.
Once upon a time in a blue pond,
there was a beauteous young swan
with a grey colored head…….

As a freelancer I can relate to this image, the struggle to make living using antiquated equipment, the long hours and stressful delays.
I made the image in taxi on the way back from a meeting with a potential client on the banks of the Cairo Nile, we were stuck in the mother of all traffic jams, the driver was tired and stressed, I was, for once content as I had eaten fish and concluded what I thought was a successful meeting. Now I look back, the real success was this image, which is one of my favourites.

Pardon Me
Song by Incubus
Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst
A decade ago, I never thought I would be
At 23, on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me!
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Not two days ago, I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knee
I said I can relate, 'cause lately, I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcome vacation from the burdens of the planet Earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3D
But thinking so much differently, and
Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Never be the same, yeah
Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Pardon me, I'll never be the same, yeah
...... I can relate.... : ]
I had to 'relocate' a part of this tiny spider's web, when he spun it over the opening to access the bird feeder. (He was about 3-4mm)
I carefully took the one side and attached it to the same shrub.
He seemed fine with it, but moved the location the next day.
Smart one... :)

the exit sign also relates to life and i cant help but to include this great song with words that relate to anyone, any religion, everyone, every religion. and if it doesn't, it should.
i think its from the Adi Granth where Baba Farids poems were included. that is what i love about Sikhism, it is written by many saints from several religions. so much for one dominant religion over others! the Sikhs honor all religions that relate to God.

Scilla (Calabrian: U Scigghiu; Greek: Σκύλλα, romanized: Skýlla) is a town and comune in Calabria, Italy, administratively part of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria. It is the traditional site of the sea monster Scylla of Greek mythology.
The town of Scilla has ancient origins that relate mainly to the period of the destruction of Troy and invokes the myths and legends of Odysseus with Scylla and Charybdis, of Homer and Dante Alighieri. Its name derives from the mythological figure of Scylla, a young nymph who refused Glaucus' love.
