Hay personas que con su sola presencia logran que cualquier momento sea especial.
No son muchas, pero simplemente tener noticias suyas ya es el anuncio de que algo agradablemente transcendente va a suceder.
La lejanía física no es un obstáculo para conectar razón y sentimiento con ellas en cuanto leemos un texto suyo o hablamos por teléfono. Esa sensación de que no ha pasado el tiempo y podemos retomar la conversación donde la dejamos la última vez, aunque desde esa última vez hayan pasado meses o años.
Hay amigos que nos enriquecen porque con ellos sentimos que somos más "nosotros", porque su conversación, sus vivencias, sus razonamientos, nos hacen reconciliarnos con nuestros desacuerdos, con nuestros desajustes interiores y con nuestras crisis existenciales. Son algo así como un "clic" interior que coloca en su sitio piezas importantes del rompecabezas que es nuestra mente.
Como en esta imagen, hay personas que, a nuestro lado, consiguen que las luces y las sombras que pueblan nuestra existencia tengan un equilibrio y una armonía que nos situe en el camino de búsqueda del ser al que aspiramos llegar.
Cada encuentro, cada paseo fotográfico, cada conversación es, con o sin cerveza de por medio, una tranquila, una inolvidable incitación a las reflexiones más profundas y agradables que uno necesita tener de vez en cuando... Con un amigo y, por supuesto, consigo mismo.
Gracias por tu amistad, Juanjo. Esta es para ti.

Yew Tree
I've been fascinated by the Yew Tree for a long time.

"Sometimes it's the air, sometimes it's the smell. Sometimes it's the sound of water, sometimes it's the stillness. It's tapping into the transcendent, and teaching your heart to see it, and making your eyes and hands express it that creates transcendent paintings. "

Bust of a Youth (1640)
Francesco Mochi (1580-1654)
Chicago Art Institute
One of the most individual sculptors of his age, Francesco Mochi possessed an astoun- ding technical prowess. Although his output was relatively small, Mochi was one of the most original artists to emerge in seventeenth-century Italy. His art is distinguished by energetic lines, dramatic movement, and subtle psychology. Here a taut precision characterizes the youth’s garment, and a carefully composed rhythm governs Mochi’s virtuoso treatment of the corkscrew curls. In contrast to the greater precision of the hair and drapery, the wistful expression of the youth, with his slightly parted lips, endows the sculpture with life. This work may have been conceived as a portrait, but it is more likely a biblical or mythological subject. The almost transcendent expression suggests that the sculpture may represent a religious figure, such as the youthful Saint John the Baptist. Its small scale suggests that the work was intended as an object for private contemplation.
The red-shafted and yellow-shafted forms of the Northern Flicker formerly were considered different species. The two forms hybridize extensively in a wide zone from Alaska to the panhandle of Texas. A hybrid often has some traits from each of the two forms and some traits that are intermediate between them. The Red-shafted Flicker also hybridizes with the Gilded Flicker, but less frequently.
Things have been really busy of late and I'm so far behind with processing, posting and commenting...will do my best to start catching up, but in the short term I think things will get worse rather than better. This was from Aston Rowant a few weeks ago. It was nice to get a few images in before work.
Had Benjamin Franklin prevailed, the U.S. emblem might have been the Wild Turkey. In 1784, Franklin disparaged the national bird’s thieving tendencies and its vulnerability to harassment by small birds. "For my own part,” he wrote, “I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. … Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District.”
Walker Evans, photographer, June 1935
Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 – April 10, 1975) was an American photographer and photojournalist best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documenting the effects of the Great Depression. Much of Evans' work from the FSA period uses the large-format, 8×10-inch (200×250 mm) view camera. He said that his goal as a photographer was to make pictures that are "literate, authoritative, transcendent".
Many of his works are in the permanent collections of museums and have been the subject of retrospectives at such institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the George Eastman Museum.

Bowman Lake is in the northwestern portion of Glacier National Park in Montana. It is not commonly visited by most visitors to Glacier National Park, because it is located in one of the more remote areas of the park. The lake is accessed via a 6 miles (9.7 km) unpaved road from the small town of Polebridge.

On a sheer peak of joy we meet;
Below us hums the abyss;
Death either way allures our feet
If we take one step amiss.
One moment let us drink the blue
Transcendent air together--
Then down where the same old work's to do
In the same dull daily weather.
We may not wait . . . yet look below!
How part? On this keen ridge
But one may pass. They call you--go!
My life shall be your bridge.
Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937)
- Where there is a light there is always hope.
“The truth is we don’t know what we don’t know. We don’t even know the questions we must ask to find out, but when we learn one tiny little thing, a dim light comes on in a dark hallway, and suddenly a new question appears.
― Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom
A self portrait from a few yeaars back... Currently three of my framed photos are in a Gallery Show here in Riverwest, Milwaukee The show is about our connections with animals and many outstanding artists are in the show. I had to write an artist's statement describing my work Here it is:
I have loved nature and wildlife as far back as I can remember.. I have been a lifelong sufferer of anxiety and being out among wildlife brings me incredible peace.Animals and birds resonate deep in my soul. Animals are a link to the mystery and sacredness of life. We are constantly distracted, animals are constantly aware and live in the present moment. I learn from animals and birds everyday, their wisdom is like a magical portal. Spending time with them brings moments of transcendent awareness of the world around me. And we don't need to travel far, animals and birds are all around us. They are our neighbors even in the heart of the city.
Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos it is greatly appreciated!
Stay well my Flickr friends <3

Cuento e imagen dedicada a Carmen Fernández Martinez .
Era el Arbol de la Sabiduria, el hombre acudia a sus consejos en cada duda transcendente.Sus hojas respondían con virajes de colores , leguaje que antíguos hombres entendían.
Un dia no lo visitó mas .!!!...El ser humano se hizo Arrogante !!!... El Arbol Entristeció, comenzó a arquear sus ramas hacia a el suelo y sus irizadas hojas se las llevó el viento , elevándolas hasta las nubes que tiñó de bellos colores ,…Colores que solo pueden ver los que aún escuchan la voz de la Natura .!!!...F.O.G.
English:
It was the Tree of Wisdom, the man came to his advice in every transcendent doubt. His leaves responded with turns of colors, language that man understood.
One day he did not visit him any more. !!! ... The human became Arrogant ! ... Then the Tree Saddened, began to bend its branches towards the ground and its colorfull leaves were taken by the wind, raising them To the clouds that stained beautiful colors, ... Only those who still listen to the Natura can see ... !!! ... FOG
With the sun hovering near the horizon, there was a fierce wind blowing at the jetty. That cold wind blew all the people back into their homes and we had the entire sunset to ourselves. The light was outrageously beautiful!
Tidda excitedly galloped along and then plunged into a sea of undulating grasses, coming up from time to time to sniff the air. It was one of those exhilarating transcendent moments that can surprise you sometimes out of nowhere - when you feel one with the whole universe, and it is smiling.
Tidda is now secure enough to where she can fully enjoy herself and that makes me really happy!
Today, though, has been an extremely trying day with electricians working in the building for a second week, coincidentally also an unrelated Internet outage for the entire day (!!), and erratic rain/hail storms that caught me unprepared today, and that's on top of the multiple global catastrophes that have been eating away at all of us.
But when I look at Tidda in this picture, I am reminded to live with the soul wide open - the wonders of life have not gone away but are present all around, always new and always now.
The Western moose (Alces alces andersoni) inhabits boreal forests and mixed deciduous forests in the Canadian Arctic, and western Canadian provinces. Male Western moose are aggressive during mating season (autumn and winter) and may injure or kill with provocation.
Near Kingston upon Hull, England. A 2,220-metre (7,280 ft) single-span suspension bridge, was the longest of its type in the world when opened in 1981.
"We were made to enjoy music, to enjoy beautiful sunsets, to enjoy looking at the billows of the sea and to be thrilled with a rose that is bedecked with dew… Human beings are actually created for the transcendent, for the sublime, for the beautiful, for the truthful... and all of us are given the task of trying to make this world a little more hospitable to these beautiful things."
Desmond Tutu
“Gratitude bestows reverance, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.” - John Milton. On this Sunday, I am grateful for the spring colors and new life in our backyard. It is my place of meditation.
Shooting at F0.95 at short distance and hand-held one gets not 'clinical' but rather furtive or even impressionist images. What perhaps comes across here is the notion that this acer offers us an almost transcendent colour.
Through our inner gaze we discover that the objects of reality take back the transcendent value hidden by the function attributed to them to reveal subtle and deep meanings. Crossing the boundaries of externality is possible. The rhythm of space, the relationship between shapes, overlaps, partial disappearances, colors, lights and shadows give rise to harmonies that ignite our senses
The way to the other side.
You entered a hidden staircase in a strange building and suddenly the world becomes transcendent...... What will you find behind?
"And then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?”
~ Vincent van Gogh
If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.
Nature, Art and Poetry offer us transcendent realms to explore far beyond.

Rather than do their own fishing, Bald Eagles often go after other creatures’ catches. A Bald Eagle will harass a hunting Osprey until the smaller raptor drops its prey in midair, where the eagle swoops it up. A Bald Eagle may even snatch a fish directly out of an Osprey’s talons. Fishing mammals (even people sometimes) can also lose prey to Bald Eagle piracy.
Quand les grandes orgues vous transportent, résonnes et transcendent la lumière
When the great organs carry you, resonate and transcend the light
It was about to rain in Asakusa Tokyo, the sky darkened with threatening clouds and the wild wind gusted all around me
Enjoy your day friends.
Cheers
Sensoji (浅草寺, Sensōji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple) is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo's most colorful and popular temples.
The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess of Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo's oldest temple.
When approaching the temple, visitors first enter through the Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), the outer gate of Sensoji Temple and the symbol of Asakusa and the entire city of Tokyo.
A shopping street of over 200 meters, called Nakamise, leads from the outer gate to the temple's second gate, the Hozomon. Alongside typical Japanese souvenirs such as yukata and folding fans, various traditional local snacks from the Asakusa area are sold along the Nakamise. The shopping street has a history of several centuries.

Church, House of God, where the immanent and the transcendent meet, bridging Heaven and Earth. The Anglicans never had the village of Markyate (Hertfordshire) to themselves. There always were dissenters. This is the venue of the Baptists, one of the old fruits of the Reformation. Today, people do no longer need to "dissent". They are free to stay away and ignore the ecclesial show. Most (more than 90%) of our about 3000 villagers do that. That does not necessarily mean that they ignore "spirituality", they just manage their own approach. Fuji X-E2 plus Pergear 10/5.6 fish-eye lens.
Die Euler'sche Zahl (in der Regel einfach mit "e" bezeichnet, benannt nach dem Schweizer Mathematiker Leonhard Euler) ist (neben Pi) wohl die wichtigste Naturkonstante in Mathematik, Wissenschaft und Technik. Neben vielem anderem ist sie wichtig etwa bei der Beschreibung des radioaktiven Zerfalls und des natürlichen (exponentiellen) Wachstums.
Die Zahl ist transzendent und damit auch irrational, sie hat entsprechend unendlich viele Stellen. Die ersten Stellen lauten 2.718281828459. Wird 10e auf drei Nachkommastellen gerundet, ergibt sich 27.183. Hier erfolgt die Darstellung auf einer alten MAUSER-Bügelmessschraube.

The Euler's number (usually simply designated with "e", named after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler) is (besides Pi) probably the most important natural constant in mathematics, science and technology. Among many other things, it is important, e. g., in the description of radioactive decay and natural (exponential) growth.
The number is transcendent and therefore irrational, it has an infinite number of digits. The first digits are 2.718282828459. When rounding ten times e to three significant digits, the result is accordingly 27.183. Here it is shown by means of an old MAUSER outside micrometer.

In the Eye of the Storm. This spiral staircase is at the Qatar America Institute of Culture. I was there to see the "Transcendent Text" exhibition by Sabah Arbilli who uses calligraphy to express the basic human rights that the Quran cites and preaches. The works are statement against extremism. Holly Ahrens is the model in the eye!
