A few pics from the sky with smoke from the CZU and SCU Lightning Complex Fires. Note that these were taken at 4:30 in the afternoon. After everything in 2020 I'm ready to move on from the apocalyptic to the stability of post-apocalyptic.

A moment of calm following a few whirlwind months. After an unexpected and expedited international move I am ready for some peace and stability.

The heart does not look for an easy stability. Augustine again uses similar language to that of Gregory of Nyssa in describing the never-ceasing pilgrimage of the heart or spirit or mens (an important concept for Augustine, as including understanding and will or love together). Desire impels us on, so ‘let us run, let us strain forward’ (en. in Ps. 38.6); for ‘the only way you can be perfect in this life is by knowing that you cannot be perfect in this life’ (ibid. 14). ‘It is a great evil to have no hope in this life’ (en. in Ps. 129.10). The heart is ‘perfect’ when it knows what it lacks (in Ps. 38.14), knows that there will be no resting place for it among the things of earth. To be in the way of salvation is to be dissatisfied, ‘disquieted within’, never complacent about your condition or secure in your understanding or your stable spiritual attainment (in Ps, 41.10–12). The psalmist says (in Augustine’s Latin version), ‘I poured out my soul beyond myself’ (super me); that is where final delight is to be sought. The mystery of the depths of the self directs us beyond the world of clear and orderly sense experience but is itself only a stage on the road to the greater mystery of God: there is no substantial continuity between soul and God (in Ps. 41.7–8). So there is no rest in mere self-awareness, because to know the self properly is to see it set in the midst of the vast landscape of God’s workings, a landscape with no human map, trusting only to the hand of God. Once having glimpsed this vastness and heard the distant sounds of the ‘holiday of heaven’ (ibid. 9), the spirit must live by hope, knowing as clearly as ever it will that nothing else can substitute for that vision and its delights.

I am revisiting a response I gave regarding Ai usage classified as "Art".

>It is a playground for the craft –Anyone can hit “generate,” but crafting the right prompt is an art in itself.

Same muscles, new tools. Painters swap brushes; I swap models, seeds, and tweaks.

More eyeballs, more inspiration. AI lets my vision travel further and spark new ideas.

Reclaiming my story. I use these tools to honor my culture and ancestors. ((*Especially since they want to erase the Tuskegee Airman and Harriet Tubman from the books and galleries!!!)

Since Roman times, obelisks have been taken to the great cities of the world to decorate them, or as trophies of a conquered land. Arsubanipal, Assyrian king, moved two to Nineveh, the Roman emperors moved several to Rome and Constantinople. In modern times, this mobilization continued, like the one in Luxor, given by Viceroy Mehemet Ali to King Louis Philippe of France. This is why despite the fact that the obelisks were scattered throughout the Egyptian territory, and that there was no temple in a capital that did not have one, today, of the 27 ancient Egyptian obelisks that are standing, only 6 remain. in Egypt: the one in Heliopolis, the three in Karnak, the one in Luxor and the one in Cairo. The rest are scattered on each continent.

The obelisks continue to be architectural elements that adorn squares and parks in every corner of the world. Very few know the meaning and effort required for its construction, yet it continues to evoke a sense of stability, permanence and majesty as it did for the ancient people of the Nile River.

Today I am grateful for strength and stability. Meaning the strenght that I find every day to keep going, to keep this family, my business, friendships, and everything else that requires our daily strength to keep going. Time is soo limited and often I just want to hide for a minute, but from somewhere (most times) I find my strength and keep going. Stability is incredibly important and also comes in many ways. Stability through jobs, money, a roof over our head, relationships and more.

I am thankful for it all...

Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times.

The Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) in Portsmouth, Virginia, is a key facility for the U.S. Navy, focused on maintaining, modernizing, and repairing naval vessels, including aircraft carriers and submarines. It is one of the oldest and largest shipyards in the United States, and its activities are crucial to maintaining the Navy's operational readiness. Work at the NNSY often involves dry-docking, overhauls, and routine maintenance to ensure that ships remain in top condition.

 

Nearby private shipyards, such as BAE Systems, and Huntington Ingalls Industries (Newport News Shipbuilding), support similar operations. They also work on both military and commercial vessels. Newport News Shipbuilding is notably involved in constructing and refueling nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines. These private yards provide critical support to military contracts while also handling commercial shipping needs. Together, these shipyards create a significant hub for maritime industry, employment, and military readiness in the Hampton Roads area, contributing to the region's economic stability and strategic military importance.

-For you-

Kenny Lattimore

  

For you I give a lifetime of stability

Anything you want of me, nothing is impossible

For you, there are no words or ways to show my love

Or all the thoughts I'm thinking of

Cause this life is no good alone

Since we've become one,

I've made a change

Everything I do now, makes sense

All roads end, all I do is for you

 

For you I share the cup of love that overflows

And anyone who knows us knows

I would change all faults I have,

For you there is no low or high or in between

Of my heart that you haven't seen

Cause I share all I have and am

Nothing I've said's hard to understand

All I feel I feel deeper still, and always will

All this love is for you

 

Every note that I play, every word I might say

Every melody I feel

Are only for you and your appeal

Every page that I write, every day of my life

Would not be filled with without the things

That my love for you now brings

For you I make the promise of fidelity

Now and for eternity

No one could replace this vow

 

For you, I'd take take your hand heart And everything

And add to them a wedding ring

Cause this life is no good alone

Since we've become one you're all I've known

And if this feeling should leave, I'd die

And here's why, all I am is for you

Everything i do now makes sense

All roads end, all I do,

Is for you

Tenjyu-an Eastern Garden in front of hojo

 

location : Nanzenji Temple Tenjyuan ,Kyoto city ,Kyoto Prefecture,Japan

南禅寺 天授庵

Tenjyuan :

 

Tenjyuan is one of the most historically important temple of the Nanzenji. It was built as a dedication of the founder of the Nanzenji , Daiminkokushi Mukanfumon .

In 1267 the Emperpor Kameyama,enchanted with the natural beauty of the spot,elected a villa on the site where where the Nanzenji Temple now stands. Around 1288 the emperor was vexed by the appearance of a ghost and asked for help from Daiminkokushi ,the third Chief Priest of the Tofukuji Temple.

The priest rid Emperor Kameyama of the gost by merely performing Zazen meditations without reciting a single sutra.

The emperor was deeply moved by this demonstration of the priest's virtue and subsequently became became his disciple,giving himself the name Hoo("Great Priest").He later converted his villa into zen temple and dedicated it to Daiminkokushi.These events took place in Hoo's later years ; the priest died before the coversation of the villa was complete.It was left for a priest named Kiansoen,the successor of Daiminkokushi.to finish the work and inaugurate the zen temple. For this reason little credit for the task is given to Daiminkokushi himself.In 1336 Kokakushiren,the 15th chief priest of Nanzen Ji Temple,asked the retired Emperor Kogon for permission to construct a building commemorating the founding of the temple by Daiminkokushi.Construction on the building was completed in the following year(1337),hence the opening of the Tenjyuan.

Tenjyuan,however ,was destroyed in the Nanzenji conflagration of 1447 .Nor was the temple spared destraction by fire during the Onin War ( 1467-1477). More then 130 years passed before the temple was finally reconstructed.

Many of the temples destroyed by wars were reconstructed in the last quarter of the 16th century,when Japan enjoyed a period of political stability. The priests of Nanzenji agreed that the Tenjyuan be reconstructed by one of the most famous Zen priests of Kyoto,Genporeisan.He appointed Ungakureikei chief priest of the Tenjyuan ,and asked the daimyo Hosokawa Yusei to finance the enterprise.Thanks to generous contribution of Hosokawa,the reconstruction of the Main Hall,the Main Gate,and the old study was completed in August ,1602.These are the Tenjyuan buildings that stand today.

The garden consists of the front ,or eastern,garden of the Main Hall, and the southern garden near the Study.

 

***The eastern garden is a rock garden. A geometrically designed stone footpath embedded in white sand and moss connects the Main Hall with the Maingate. This footpath was made 1338 after the original construction of the Tenjyuan.

The other ,shorter stone footpath leading to Yusai's mausoleum was made after Yusai's death in1610.***

 

The layout of the southern garden clearly illustrates the characteristics of late 14th century landscaping.The two central islands in particular epitomize this style. A long penninsula extending from the study and a smaller penninsula extending from the other side meet to form a curling clasp,creating an eastern and western pond.The shorelines of the two ponds so divided are thus varied.

The eastern pond is smaller than the other and has a slopping bank.In addition to this landscaping technique,the arrangement of rocks near the waterfall indicates that the garden was made around the time of the construction of the Tenjyuan in 1337.

Crane at Education City is just a normal thing to see at the site...

 

It is of big help in lifting and transporting construction materials within its periphery...

 

There are movable and fixed type.

 

A crane is a lifting machine equipped with a winder, wire ropes or chains and sheaves that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It uses one or more simple machines to create mechanical advantage and thus move loads beyond the normal capability of a human. Cranes are commonly employed in the transport industry for the loading and unloading of freight; in the construction industry for the movement of materials; and in the manufacturing industry for the assembling of heavy equipment.

 

The first cranes were invented by the Ancient Greeks and were powered by men or beasts-of-burden, such as donkeys. These cranes were used for the construction of tall buildings. Larger cranes were later developed, employing the use of human treadwheels, permitting the lifting of heavier weights. In the High Middle Ages, harbour cranes were introduced to load and unload ships and assist with their construction – some were built into stone towers for extra strength and stability. The earliest cranes were constructed from wood, but cast iron and steel took over with the coming of the Industrial Revolution.

 

For many centuries, power was supplied by the physical exertion of men or animals, although hoists in watermills and windmills could be driven by the harnessed natural power. The first 'mechanical' power was provided by steam engines, the earliest steam crane being introduced in the 18th or 19th century, with many remaining in use well into the late 20th century. Modern cranes usually use internal combustion engines or electric motors and hydraulic systems to provide a much greater lifting capability than was previously possible, although manual cranes are still utilised where the provision of power would be uneconomic.

 

Cranes exist in an enormous variety of forms – each tailored to a specific use. Sizes range from the smallest jib cranes, used inside workshops, to the tallest tower cranes, used for constructing high buildings, and the largest floating cranes, used to build oil rigs and salvage sunken ships.

The woman is on the rooftop terrace of a luxurious bar named "VIP," with its neon sign glowing brightly behind her. A giant, sparkling "2025" display towers at the center of the scene, illuminated by golden lights. She struts confidently down a glowing runway, her shimmering outfit reflecting bursts of light from the vibrant fireworks overhead.

 

She tosses her fluffy pink pom-poms in sync with the upbeat jazz music playing in the background, twirls gracefully, and strikes eye-catching poses. She sways her hips to the rhythm, claps lightly, and spins, her movements fluid and full of joy. Confetti rains down as she waves playfully to the crowd, ending with an elegant yet bold pose, framed perfectly by the glowing "2025" and the sparkling city skyline.

During the time of the coronavirus pandemic and social (physical distancing), early morning became my ecological niche to enjoy life while avoiding contact with other people. Although it would have been most obvious to take pictures of places without people and practice the Japanese art style of absent motifs (留守模様), nothing drew me to anything human.

I preferred nature and particularly trees that became my personal obsession of that time. Whenever looking at these different trees, there always came a quotation from the ancient Chinese Daoist philosophy of Zhuangzi to my mind 是不材之木也,無所可用: “It’s not a timber tree, there's nothing it can be used for” ―― except of course for enjoying it just as it is …

 

However, I think that there is more behind the tree pictures than Zhuangzi’s typical praise of uselessness. Eventually, I became aware of a state of mind I never thought of as a possibility, but that became appealing: Biedermeier. Although I had never thought of Biedermeier art as anything other than "stuffy" or "boring," I could suddenly understand the concentration on the domestic and the non-political, the longing for stability, security, honesty, modesty, decency, sobriety, a simple elegance. I am also able to empathize with the predilection for everyday life and its details, ist tranquility and coziness. Am I becoming Biedermeier’s best friend?

 

Finally, I have to ruminate over a quote from a philosopher of the Biedermeier age who died from a pandemic of that time (Cholera):

“History is not the soil in which happiness grows. The periods of happiness in it are the blank pages of history.” (Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel)

The sculpture is called the Churning of the Milk Ocean or the Scene of the Churning of the Milk Ocean. It is believed to be the place that holds the nectar of immortality, thus it portrays immortality and stability. Likewise Suvarnabhumi Airport represents the golden land/resources/prosperity/stability and eternality.

The sculpture has the statue of four-hand Narayana (Vishnu) placed on top of the Mount Madura. 9 gods are on one side and 9 demons on the opposite are pulling the king of Nagas from both sides. The turtle (Koorm Avatar) is the tortoise-incarnation of Vishnu which is the third incarnation form out of the ten forms according to the Scene of the Churning of the Milk Ocean.

Today, Joanne and I did a short road trip from Whitehorse down to Carcross on the South Klondike Highway. It's a beautiful little town about forty minutes away by car.

 

Before the advent of the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad, Carcross was known as Caribou Crossing, but with the completion of the railroad, the train took precedence over the caribou and the name changed. That said, no matter what Carcross is called, its location in the mountains with Bennett Lake on one side, and Nares Lake on the other, ensures that it is a gorgeous location, perfect for nature photographers.

 

On this day, we pretty much stayed out of town and just walked the beach at Bennett. I was wearing my camera backpack so that I could bring a few lenses, a tripod, and some filters in addition to my trusty E-M1. Down on the beach, I found lots of scenes where the use of a tripod, neutral density filter, and a long exposure just made sense.

 

This photo features a rotting trunk being pummelled by the waves. It was a windy day, and the waves were really rolling in! Here I am looking west towards the end of the lake where the historic Bennett townsite was developed back in the 1890's.
