"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths."

 

Quote - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

 

Happy Fence Friday!

Clipped wings, I was a broken thing

Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing

You would wind me down

I struggled on the ground, oh

So lost, the line had been crossed

Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk

You held me down

I struggle to fly now, oh

But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide

We hold on so tight, we cannot deny

Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh

Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide

We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no

I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, yeah

Better go while it“s still there....Permafrost

This is one of the Geladas that I saw at Bristol Wild Place last month.

A break in the Canopy gives newlife.

A beautiful walk on the Replana (in the neighborhood of Castalla , Alicante, Spain) with great views.

Large flocks of Horned Larks huddled together on a freezing day with windchills in the -50s. If you zoom in you’ll see frost forming around their eyes.

This amazing tree grows on the rim of the Grand Canyon. One branch, pointing toward the right, still lives. The other branches are dead.

 

Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

A daily struggle to keep your head above water level.

About the title and the song, they are intertwined.

Morphine is one of my cult bands and this is one of my favorite songs "Sharks".

It was sad that I got the ticket to see their last concert in Portugal and I couldn't go. Unfortunately the singer died at the next concert in Italy.

I, like this sunrise trying to get out from the clouds, am on the struggle bus with getting out and shooting some photos.

 

A trip to Halibut Point State Park in early 2021 had me diving back into my archives. This was originally posted and removed, but reworked slightly in Lightroom for some shadow control.

A leaf from a briar appears to be trying to regenerate. I don't know much about plant biology but it's a colourful struggle.

Genovesa Island, its sandy coral beach with a great viewpoint of the bay, is one of the Galapagos’ jewels. It is also known as the ā€œBird Islandā€œ offering the opportunity to enjoy the most representative birds of Galapagos as: Puffball–chicks, white both yellow–crowned and lava herons, Red footed boobies contrasting with the Nazca booby and also the Swallow–tailed gulls, the only nocturnal gulls in the world that will be nesting at the cliff’s edge.

Many trees struggle for life in Bryce Canyon. But somehow many survive.

 

Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

Looks like not many trees have survived on this side of Blakiston Creek. Winter conditions must be harsh in the Rockies.

White-tailed deer in the winter will seek sumac, yellow birch, white pine, white cedar and the buds of maple trees. Other common woody browse include elm, oak, hackberry, greenbrier, honeysuckle and grape vines. When these food sources are tough to come by, deer will eat leaves, even old dead ones on the forest floor.

What are your associations when you hear the term "class struggle"? It is probably an educated guess that a lot of history will pop up, including that of the socialist and trade union movements and even that of Marxism and Communism. Can I invite you to widen the perspective and, as I would see it, to look at what goes really on in a lot of western societies, particularly that of the UK? What is happening here can indeed be described as class struggle, but it is not that coming from below. It is class struggle from above. It is the people of wealth who are using the political and legal systems of the modern state in order to gratify themselves and exclude the large majority from the benefits of their own work. Profits are invested wherever the most lucrative gains can be made, and this means that capital is being exported, not re-invested at home. Tax avoidance is another characteristic of class struggle from above, I probably don't need to go into details. You must also have noticed that over the last three decades work has become cheap. A generation ago, one earner (usually the husband) was able to sustain the life of a family, today, you would need two earners to do the same. And the jobs they would be having would be insecure too. In the UK, as in France as well, there is opposition to this process of continuously eroding the people's access to life's opportunities. In Britain, people are on strike for a very good reason.

Struggling along toward their end terminal in Channing, this 4 unit set of Milwaukee Road F's is going to make it one way or another having left Iron Mountain, Michigan not long ago - November 9, 1978.

Winter is coming and Colorado has already had its first snow. 2020 was a very snowy winter, and right now forecasts are predicting above average snow for our area in Colorado. Good for skiing, but it can make it challenging for wildlife.

The Ft Dodge to Waterloo local (L570) flying thru New Hardford, Iowa full of snow and with ditch lights out near sunset. They had just opened the main between Ft Dodge and Waterloo, and were the first train on this stretch of track since the overnight snowfall we had

 

Thanks to Scott Marsh for alerting me to this EB train. He got the same train at Sinclair, Ia a few miles West of me
