STOP THE WAR against Democracy and Freedom in Ukraine!
Siglufjordur in North Iceland, a place that rings solitude and isolation, but also natural beauty and man's perseverance and social solidarity in order to get through those long winters here. This image was captured in May, so you get an idea what it must be like in real winter :)
Giving mimosa flowers on March 8th is not considered a romantic gesture but one of solidarity. It is said that Teresa Mattei, one of Italy's first women in Italian politics was responsible for making the mimosa the symbol of Women's Day in 1946.
Not only did the world stand still, but so did spring...
The day before the buds were ready to open, the temperatures dropped so much that they froze. The magnolia also went on lock down...
"Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the beam that in your own? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck that is in your eye, but you do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to remove the speck from' eye of your brother. "
Gesù di Nazareth
"A child can take the father's nose, eyes and even intelligence, but not the soul. The soul is new to every man."

my second quote is dedicated to the children of madman
We have learned all our lives - by working together we can make better progress. Now we have to rethink very quickly if we want to survive the Corona crisis. Now we have to loosen the links and move forward by distance. This is not easy.
Wir haben ein Leben lang gelernt durch Zusammenhalt kommen wir besser voran. Jetzt müssen wir ganz schnell umdenken, wenn wir die Corona Krise überleben wollen. Nun müssen wir die die Glieder lösen und durch Abstand voran zu kommen. Das ist nicht leicht.
Common Merganser mum and family
All twelve ducklings moved with an incredible solidarity. (Yes there were 12. I cropped one off in the interests of composition). They kept a pretty tight formation behind Mummy until she stopped and turned to face them. I assume she was quacking instructions because suddenly, as one, they all bunched up.
A few minutes later, they all started flapping their little wings as if they were going to take off but instead of flying they propelled themselves very rapidly way out into the middle of the river. An impressive feat given the strong current .
Flickr staff sent me an email saying, among other things: "Your account was brought to our attention and upon review, we determined that your content and/or behavior was in violation of the Guidelines and Terms of Service. Specifically, the following photo was found to be in violation: www.flickr.com/photos/145003604@N02/51902747612/ Please be aware that any subsequent violation of the Flickr Community Guidelines or Terms could result in termination of your account without further notice. Regards, Flickr Staff"
The photo that was specifically "found to be in violation" is the one preceding this one with the title "Solidarity with Ukraine! Down with the criminal state of Russia!"
I sent the flickr staff the following reply: "I wonder very much what is wrong with the photo complained about. Is it forbidden in this community to express solidarity with Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia in a way that is illegal under international law, i.e. criminal?" I have not yet received an answer.
This war of aggression was a crime committed by the Russian state from the very beginning, not to mention war crimes such as the deliberate murders of fleeing civilians or the Bucha massacre. Also the latest news testify to the criminal character of the Russian state: www.nytimes.com/live/2022/10/10/world/russia-ukraine-war-...
As the flickr staff hasn't replied yet, I don't know who brought my account to their attention. But I can imagine what kind of person this was: either a brainwashed person who believes Putin's propaganda to the letter, or the kind of Russian diplomat who in all seriousness calls a red paint bag attack on the entrance of the Russian Embassy in Vienna in protest against this war a "barbaric act" (as happened on March 6).
But what I don't understand at all and find extremely disappointing and disconcerting: that the flickr staff falls for this game and now threatens me.
I am posting this picture not as a political statement. What it happening in Ukraine in the past 6 days is terrible and the only people that have everything to lose are the citizens of Ukraine and Russia as governments decided that there is no other way around this. Images and videos of residential areas being shelled are beyond sad. I was going through my photos trying to find something even remotely related to Ukraine, to show my support and empathy and the only thing I was able to find was these flowers that have the colors of Ukraine's flag.

the administration of my home city is showing solidarity with the Ukrainian people by illuminating the city hall with the colours of Ukraine - like in so many places all over the world these days
Peace ! 💙💛

... Zeichen / Farben der Zeit, die für Solidarität stehen ...
die Verwaltung meiner Heimatstadt zeigt sich mit dem ukrainischen Volk solidarisch, indem sie das Rathaus in den Farben der ukrainischen Flagge erstrahlen lässt - wie in diesen Tagen an so vielen Orten auf der Welt
Friede ! 💙💛
( und ja, wir haben seit Dezember 2021 nun auch ein U-Bähnle ; ))

Solidarity is an awareness of shared interests, objectives, standards, and sympathies creating a psychological sense of unity. It refers to the ties in a society that bind people together as one.
Extract from Wikipedia
Basílica de Arantzazu. Jorge Oteiza. Basque Country
Fue realmente polémico el hecho de que Oteiza esculpiera catorce apóstoles en lugar de doce. Según decía, lo que representó no fueron catorce apóstoles, sino catorce unos apóstoles. Es decir, pretendía recoger la idea abstracta de la apostolicidad como comunidad abierta al exterior que reclama, a su vez, la presencia de los demás de una manera solidaria.
The fact that Oteiza sculpted fourteen apostles instead of twelve was truly controversial. According to him, what he depicted were not fourteen apostles, but fourteen apostles. In other words, he intended to capture the abstract idea of apostolicity as a community open to the outside world that, in turn, demands the presence of others in solidarity.
