I post this as a humble tribute to the victims of the terrible earthquake in Abruzzo, central Italy. Today was the first mass funeral of more than 200 people killed, a very sad day. Unimaginable tragedy!
And then there are many thousands more, suffering from loss, injuries, homelessness, troubles, and also fear : because the earth continues to give strong tremors even days after the main earthquake! Giving people constant danger, stress and sleeplessness! Even many people with still intact houses don't dare to sleep inside. It's a mad situation.
Imagine how many things still matter when the very earth under your feet and everything around you, tremble, shake and fall apart......
I hope the worries and pain may turn to a bit more peaceful and safer times soon, and better to handle situations. I am grateful for solidarity actions, and the spirit of hope in humanity!
Life is still worth fighting for, and so are the people each of us care for!
Ho deciso di postare questa foto come modesto sereno tributo alle vittime del terribile terremoto in Abruzzo. Davvero una tragedia inimmaginabile!
Oggi c'erano i primi funerali di massa a L'Aquila di più di 200 vittime. Che giorno tristissimo.
Pensiamo anche alla migliaia di gente che soffre di perdita, ferite, problemi, di essere senzatetto, e anche ancora con paura : perché le scosse non smettano di far tremare la terra! Così la gente ha lo stress costante e manca sicurezza e riposo! Anche quelli colla casa ancora intatta, spesso non osano più dormire dentro. 'E una situazione pazza!
Auguro un po' di pace presto a tutti lì !
Sono grato per tutte le azioni di solidarietà, e per la forza della speranza nella gente!
La lotta per la vita vale la pena! Come anche la gente a che vogliamo bene!

It's also a moment to reflect on the values of life versus possessions, and the power of Nature, which is immense in its beauty, as well as in its raw cruelty.

My heart and prayers go to all the innocent victims and families who are suffering in the world from terrorism and other modern-day cruelty, especially in new Orleans, Syria, Israel, and Gaza. I am thinking about the struggles women are faced with every day who are bravely fighting for their freedom and rights and hope they are soon liberated and live life in freedom and peace soon.

After suffering severe damage during WWII, Gdansk rebuilt and removed all traces of its pre-war Germanic architecture as a way to cleanse itself of German roots. The architecture we see today is borrowed primarily from Dutch, Italian and French cities. No matter the history, it makes for a stunning backdrop along the Motlawa River - helped a bit of course by 21st century lighting. This photo spotlights the St. Mary's Gate (Brama Mariacka) and the medieval Zuraw crane as well as the Galleon Lion (Galeon Lew) pirate ship which ushers passengers up the Motlawa to Westerplatte throughout the day.

The "Great Depression" (1929-1941) was a time of tremendous poverty and suffering. It was also a period in which the arts flourished. Much of that art served to document the devastation of the Depression.
Dorothea Lange (Dorothea Margaretta Nutzhorn; 1895-1965), often called the "compassionate recorder", used her photographic skills to draw America's attention to the poor and forgotten during the dark days of the Depression. Her stirring images of migrant farmers and the unemployed, while working for the Farm Security Administration, have become universally recognized symbols of the Depression-era.
A "bindlestiff" is characterized as a hobo. Bindlestiffs were in high population during the Great Depression when men who had lost their jobs would hit the road searching for work.
This photo was taken in the winter of 2014 when a large portion of the Great Lakes froze over. This is the first time I ever witnessed a Red-Breasted Merganser walking along the pavement. This duck was out of his element and suffering. Some very kind souls took many of the diving ducks to the Humane Society where they recovered, but hundreds and thousands died. It looked like a massacre and I will never forget the sight.
Seeing fellow humanbeings cast to the streets, homeless, suffering from multiple illnesses puts one's life into a whole new perspective.
While suffering through a seemingly never ending heat wave, glaciers and ice seem almost inviting :)

Suffering some nostalgia today. Remembering sundays so many years ago, when my grandfather and I would walk through the Western Maryland RR yard to reach this point. Formerly the B&O main to Fairmont, West Virginia, it is now part of the South Western Pa RR. and the line ends at a sand storage facility that uses the sand for fracking. Sometimes you can make a color photo into a black and white shot and it seems to resemble more of what you remember after 50 or 60 yrs have elapsed since you saw it as a youngster.
It would be so simple.
To Ease Suffering.
Create Beauty.
Conduct magical energy.
Not take away,
cause pain and suffering.
Conquer, control
and covet...

Me, I'm scared of everything, I'm scared of who I am, what I saw, what I did, but most of all I am scared of walking out of this room and never feeling for the rest of my life, the way I feel when I'm with you.

" Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!"

The King, after suffering such a great financial loss in his latest investment, was exceedingly disheartened and gloomy. So gloomy that his noble friends were beginning to worry about his health. So worried, that they sent Sir Godfrey and Sir Phillip to fetch the Jolly Jumble Jester triplets.
Upon arriving, John, James, and Joe immediately began their popular routine, they sung their songs and danced their dances, yet the king's depression remained. His royal brow still was wrinkled in consternation, unable to forget his lost money.
At length, the jesters, desperate, attempted their most daring and tricky trick yet. James jumped on John, John jumped on Joe, and Joe, about to jump onto a ball, had the misfortune to miss his footing! Down the brothers went, crashing to the hard marble floor below. The spectacle was so hilarious that the King burst into a roar of laughter and the whole hall of spectators followed suit.
