Though this episode begins in a more traditional non fiction way, with many facts about how many mushrooms perish when the snow falls and temperatures plummet, the episode evolves further with a more empathetic feel. Even a mushroom documentary film maker must show the human side to the mushrooms and how they can suffer. Thus, there is a definite arc to the episode with a thrilling culmination of the collective voices of the mushroom community as they proclaim the following poem:
For days, we witnessed the ominous
“Winter is Coming!"
Well, winter is here, with it’s equal
wonder and terror
We cling to each other
like words in a sentence
without as many spaces.
We are withered, weathered,
and struggling to survive.
Lost souls shivering below flying doves
Past selves and Future selves
Culminating in a grim present moment
How much longer must we suffer and
Yearn for each sliver of daylight?
Oh, won’t some sweet soul
Come gallantly along
Crunching on the oppressive white
Pick us up out of our misery
Tear us from the dark tree bark
With all the dirt that hides under fingernails
And eat us alive?

What a difference a Year Makes
This was December 2019 , commuting in the dark and seeing the dawn rising . as the LUAS tram passed over the M50 motorway. I have been Working From Home . since late February , this year has gone in a blur of unexpected events and lots and lots of isolation. I don't know how I feel about commuting anymore. It seems like something from a bizarre Sci-fi film now :)
We are good at adapting !

Reflection of Winter Stillness
A quiet morning on the Korana, the kind that happens only when winter freezes every sound and the river becomes a mirror that whispers in the rhythm of the clouds.
The long line of poplars, slender and silent, stands like a gentle winter procession. Each of them carries its own story, and all of them are reflected on the river’s surface — perfectly, motionlessly, almost unreal.
Where the mirror breaks at the small waterfall, the photograph begins to breathe: the upper part remains calm, while the lower part becomes the rhythm of the water.
The wide-angle view of the Canon R7 and the RF 16mm captured the entire winter day in a single panoramic sentence — from the pontoon bridge, across the old wooden bridge, all the way to the quiet left bank.
This is the Korana as we don’t see it every day. Pure, simple, beautiful.
Odraz tišine uz jablane
Mirno jutro na Korani, ono koje se dogodi samo kad zima zaustavi svaki šum, a rijeka postane zrcalo koje šapće u ritmu oblaka.
Duga linija jablana, vitkih i tihih, stoji kao u nekoj tihoj zimskoj procesiji. Svaki od njih ima svoju priču, a sve se one preslikavaju na površinu rijeke — savršeno, nepomično, gotovo nestvarno.
Tamo gdje se ogledalo lomi u slapiću, fotografija diše: gornji dio ostaje mir, donji postaje ritam vode.
Širokokutni pogled Canon R7 i RF 16mm uhvatio je cijeli zimski dan u jednoj panoramskoj rečenici — od pontonskog mosta, preko starog drvenog mosta, sve do tihe lijeve obale.
Ovo je Korana kakvu ne vidimo svaki dan. Čista, jednostavna, prelijepa.
An early C17 house, originally called Broughton House. It was the home of Andrew Broughton (1603-1688) Clerk of the High Court and regicide who read out the death sentence on Charles I. It was converted into 2 in the C18. It forms a centre and 2 projecting wings. 3 storeys and basement refronted in pebbledash except for the ground floor which is stuccoed. Tiled roof. Cornice and parapet. Long and short quoins to the wings. 4 sashes with glazing bars intact. The wings each have a bay window on all floors. Doorcases with pilasters, a joint flat hood over, rectangular fanlights and doors of 6 moulded panels.
Loevestein Castle (Dutch: Slot Loevestein) is a medieval castle in the municipality of Zaltbommel, Gelderland, the Netherlands.
The castle was built by the knight Dirk Loef of Horne (hence "Loef's stein" (stone) house) between 1357 and 1397. Until World War II Loevestein Castle was part of the Hollandic Water Line, the main Dutch defense line that was based on flooding an area of land south and east of the western provinces. Currently the castle is used as a medieval museum and function centre.
Loevestein is a water castle that was built between 1357 and 1368. It was built in a strategic location in the middle of the Netherlands, where the Maas and Waal rivers come together (just west of current day villages of Poederoijen and Brakel, in the municipality of Zaltbommel, in Gelderland). At first it was a simple square brick building, used to charge toll from trading vessels using the rivers. By 1372, the castle was under control of the Counts of Holland. In the 16th century (around 1575, orders given by William the Silent) it was expanded to a larger fortress surrounded by earthen fortifications with two (later three) stone bastions on the northern side, two moats, an arsenal, and housing for a commander and soldiers. The Castle was also part of the Hollandic Water Line.
It changed hands twice between the Northern Dutch and the Spanish during the Eighty Years' War: on December 9, 1570, it was taken by the Geuzen; ten days later by the Spanish again; and on June 25, 1572, it was retaken by the Dutch.
From 1619 the castle became a prison for political prisoners. One famous inmate was the eminent lawyer, poet and politician Hugo de Groot (Hugo Grotius) often presented as the "father of modern international law", who was serving a controversially imposed life sentence from 1619. In 1621, his wife Maria van Reigersberch, who was also staying at the castle, hid with him in a book chest that was regularly brought for them. He subsequently became the Swedish Ambassador to France for 10 years. Another high-profile inmate was the English Vice-Admiral George Ayscue.
Posted for the Happy Caturday theme "Winter Mood".
Yes, I know, your probably expected another photo of Tofu on the sofa for this theme. He had other ideas, though, probably because he wanted to prove that he doesn't spend all his life on a warm blanket. It was a decision he soon regretted because it was a very cold and windy day. All puffed up against the cold he complained constantly until I finally said that I had enough photos. Before I could even finish my sentence he darted past me and rushed into the house ... to his warm blanket. :)
Happy Caturday !

Just for fun -- seeing the line up of flowers in various stages seem to form a sentence using different 'words' and 'punctuation marks'!
There is a sentence in Aristotle’s Metaphysics that says, “God moves the world as the beloved moves the lover.” This is also the meaning of learning, to be moved by that which is of the Spirit, to find joy in the existence of the Spirit, to love the Spirit. In the language of the Bible, the Hebrew word yada ידע, which refers to the concept of knowledge, is also used to mean both knowledge and the act of love. Yada ידע means not only knowledge through reason, but the most intimate interaction with things. It means knowing things lovingly.

The stripes may mark him as the prisoner, yet the weight rests on her shoulders. His smoke drifts free into the night, while she sits bound by silence. On the steps of the Cathedral, the roles of captive and keeper quietly reverse. Shot in Cologne, Germany with a Leica M11 Mono and Summilux 50mm.
I've no idea what these flowers are, but they were suspended from an arch trellis and made a beautiful display.
This sentence is made of lead (and a sentence of lead gives a reader an entirely different sensation from one made of magnesium).
This sentence is made of yak wool.
This sentence glows in the dark.
This sentence was born with a caul.
This sentence once spit in a book reviewer's eye.
This sentence suffered a split infinitive - and survived.
This sentence leaks.

Toronto at 6am - If you were sentenced to jail in Toronto between 1864-1977, you would have been well advised to request being escorted in through the front entrance, allowing you to better appreciate the Renaissance Revival architecture.
Du ska inte slamra i dörrar och behandla jorden illa...
ett försök till att skriva på jämtska så som jag hörde en inspelning av en predikan på jämtska i Hackås kyrka i Jämtland, när jag var där som besökare. En mening som jag minns från detta tal som var mycket vackert och melodiskt att lyssna på.
You shall not clatter in doors and treat the earth badly...
A try to write in dialect from the province Jämtland as I heard it in a recorded sermon in the beautiful church in Hackås, Jämtland, Sweden. A sentence I particulary remember and the whole speach was very beautiful and melodic to listen to.
From a walk 1 year ago, walked on the same lake yesterday in the nightfall and will load up pictures from that walk later.
Once this red line appears on the tree, it is sentenced to be cut down. Those ashes are attacked by caterpillar of chine. And to try to save other trees, infected one are cut.

"And since our prison is
A land whose only horizon
Is a desert
A desert
And since we must suffer standing up
To survive here only on our knees
In the dust
Since love
Is unattainable, one day
And the dream too heavy
To be free one day
But may God forgive me
If being only a man
Is my maximum sentence
And since our calls are lost
And our sky remains without light
And without a gaze
Wherever we look
Even if believing is only a recourse
Before the little hope that surrounds us
That leads us astray
Since love
Is unattainable, one day
And the dream too heavy
To be free one day
But may God forgive me
If being only a man
Is my maximum sentence
Oh, oh
Maximum
But why kneel?
For whom would I want to live standing up?
Since love
Is unattainable, one day
And the dream too heavy
To be free one day
But may God forgive me
If being only a man
Is my greatest sorrow
But may God forgive me
If being only a man
Is my greatest sorrow
Oh, oh, greatest
Is my greatest sorrow "
Doing time inside all week long at the job, now sentenced to see this beautiful sky while traveling home....I don't know about these travelers but I can handle this type of sentence just fine:)

"Worst of all, violence against women and girls continues unabated in every continent, country and culture. It takes a devastating toll on women’s lives, on their families and on society as a whole. Most societies prohibit such violence -- yet the reality is that, too often, it is covered up or tacitly condoned." (UN SECRETARY-GENERAL in International Women’s Day 2007 Message.)
“Almost every country in the world still has laws that discriminate against women, and promises to remedy this have not been kept.” (UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the eve of International Women's Day 2008)
According to one United Nations estimate, 113 to 200 million women are “demographically missing” from the world today. That is to say, there should be 113 to 200 million more women walking the earth, who aren’t. By that same estimate, 1.5 to 3 million women and girls lose their lives every year because of gender-based neglect or gender-based violence and Sexual Violence in Conflict.
In addition to torture, sexual violence and rape by occupation forces, a great number of women and girls are kept locked up in their homes by a very real fear of abduction and criminal abuse. In war and conflicts, girls and women have been denied their human right, including the right to health, education and employment. “Sexual violence in conflict zones is indeed a security concern. We affirm that sexual violence profoundly affects not only the health and safety of women, but the economic and social stability of their nations” –US Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, 19 June 2008 (Read more about UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict www.stoprapenow.org/ ).
Millions of young women disappear in their native land every year. Many of them are found later being held against their will in other places and forced into prostitution. According to the UNICEF ( www.unicef.org/gender/index_factsandfigures.html ),Girls between 13 and 18 years of age constitute the largest group in the sex industry. It is estimated that around 500,000 girls below 18 are victims of trafficking each year. The victims of trafficking and female migrants are sometimes unfairly blamed for spreading HIV when the reality is that they are often the victims.
According to the UNAIDS around 17.3 million, women (almost half of the total number of HIV-positive) living with HIV ( www.unaids.org ). While HIV is often driven by poverty, it is also associated with inequality, gender-based abuses and economic transition. The relationship between abuses of women's rights and their vulnerability to AIDS is alarming. Violence and discrimination prevents women from freely accessing HIV/AIDS information, from negotiating condom use, and from resisting unprotected sex with an HIV-positive partner, yet most of the governments have failed to take any meaningful steps to prevent and punish such abuse.
United Nations agencies estimated that every year 3 million girls are at risk of undergoing the procedure – which involves the partial or total removal of external female genital organs – that some 140 million women, mostly in Asia, the Middle East and in Africa, have already endured.
We can point a finger at poverty. But poverty alone does not result in these girls and women’s deaths and suffering; the blame also falls on the social system and attitudes of the societies.
India alone accounts for more than 50 million of the women who are “missing” due to female foeticide - the sex-selective abortion of girls, dowry death, gender-based neglect and all forms of violence against women.
Since the late 1970s when the technology for sex determination first came into being, sex selective abortion has unleashed a saga of horror in India and other Asian countries. Experts are calling it "sanitized barbarism”. Worryingly, the trend is far stronger in urban rather than rural areas, and among literate rather than illiterate women, exploding the myth that growing affluence and spread of basic education alone will result in the erosion of gender bias. The United Nations has expressed serious concern about the situation.
The decline in the sex ratio and the millions of Missing Women are indicators of the feudal patriarchal resurgence. Violence against women has gone public – whether it is dowry murders, the practice of female genital mutilation, honour killings, sex selective abortions or death sentences awarded to young lovers from different communities by caste councils, rapes and killings in communal and caste violence, it is only women’s and human rights groups who are protesting – the public and institutional response to these trends is very minimal.
Millions of women suffer from discrimination in the world of work. This not only violates a most basic human right, but has wider social and economic consequences. Most of the governments turn a blind eye to illegal practices and enact and enforce discriminatory laws. Corporations and private individuals engage in abusive and sexist practices without fear of legal system.
More women are working now than ever before, but they are also more likely than men to get low-productivity, low-paid and vulnerable jobs, with no social protection, basic rights nor voice at work according to a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO) issued for International Women’s Day 2008. Are we even half way to meeting the eight Millennium Development Goals?
