it is our perception that extends a flash moment of history to a slow motion film of approx. 80 so called years of life ... and we enjoy it as every single frame of a movie...every single frame... we just have to stop for a second and let it pass by.
Every moment we stop extends our life ...
The image was taken at the Jersey Shore, before the summer crowds. I was working on a composition that will include the lifeguard stand, when this dude walked right into my composition. Eventually I joined him on a mutual disconnect.

I played golf at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire this morning and this was the best shot that I had all through the round.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS, AWARDS AND FOR ANY INVITES.
Although guess who is back? I hope y'all doing well during I was away. Since I was very absence for almost 3 months due to Covid-19. Now I feel a little bit better when I am back, but only a limited period of time this month. I just finally moved to new town in real life. I am starting to look for a job. Also, I'd like to say that I am so happy to see my family and friends on Second Life after I moved out rl. And I enjoyed seeing your amazing pictures on Flickr. Keep it up, all my dear friends. :)
Þingvellir was the site of the Alþing, the annual parliament of Iceland from the year 930 until the last session held at Þingvellir in 1798. Since 1881, the parliament has been located within Alþingishúsið in Reykjavík.
Þingvellir is now a national park in the municipality of Bláskógabyggð in southwestern Iceland, about 40 km (25 miles) northeast of Iceland's capital, Reykjavík. Þingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological significance, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. The park lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. To its south lies Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.
Þingvellir National Park was founded in 1930, marking the 1000th anniversary of the Althing. The park was later expanded to protect the diverse and natural phenomena in the surrounding area, and was designated as a World Heritage Site in 2004.
Þingvellir became a national park as a result of legislation passed in 1928 to protect the remains of the parliament site, thus creating the first national park in Iceland. The park was decreed "a protected national shrine for all Icelanders, the perpetual property of the Icelandic nation under the preservation of parliament, never to be sold or mortgaged.
According to the Book of Settlements (Landnámabók), the settlement of Iceland began in 874, when the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first permanent Norwegian settler on the island. Over the next centuries, people of Norse and Celtic origin settled in Iceland. Early on, district assemblies were formed, but as the population grew, there was a need for a general assembly. The descendants of Ingólfur who dominated the region of southwest Iceland had become the most powerful family in the country, and other chieftains felt a need for a general assembly to limit their power.
Grímur Geitskör was allotted the role of rallying support and finding a suitable location for the assembly. At about the same time, the owner of Bláskógar (the contemporary name for the Þingvellir region) was found guilty of murder. His land was declared public, and then obligated to be used for assembly proceedings, and the building of temporary dwellings, and the forest to be used for kindling and the grazing of horses. The Þingvellir area was chosen for this reason and for its accessibility to the most populous regions of the north, south and west. The longest journey a goði (chieftain) had to travel was 17 days, from the easternmost part of the country where mountains and glacial rivers proved bothersome obstacles.
The foundation of the Icelandic parliament is said to be the founding of the nation of Iceland, and the first parliamentary proceedings in the summer of 930 laid the ground for a common cultural heritage and national identity. Þingvellir played a central role in the history of the country, and its history runs almost parallel with the history of the Icelandic Commonwealth.
In three seasons, this bench entices you to linger and enjoy the view. Currently their offer remains unused.
Until mid summer. I will temporarily close my groups but still fave your photos and possibly invite some to the groups. Have a great summer or winter (for my friends down under). Stay safe.
In the great scheme of things - that's all they are.........
Sharing the dramatic natural beauty of Conwy, North Wales, UK.
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Temporary/Permanent. Autumn's beauty is fleeting, but Swans mate for life. HMMM!
3. Last light on Monte Rosa
November 2022
90 × 60 cm, Alu-Dibond
Italiano
Mentre la valle è già avvolta nell’ombra, le cime più alte del Monte Rosa vengono illuminate un’ultima volta dalla luce del tramonto. Un momento di quiete sopra un paesaggio in costante trasformazione.
Il ghiacciaio del Grenz scende dal massiccio del Monte Rosa e si unisce al ghiacciaio del Gorner, che all’altezza del Gornersee (a sinistra nell’immagine) è ormai quasi scomparso. Questo lago temporaneo d’acqua di fusione appare in estate al confine tra i due ghiacciai, quando l’acqua si accumula in una depressione naturale sul ghiaccio. Non appena le temperature scendono, il lago scompare.
Ciò che rende il Gornersee così particolare è il suo svuotamento naturale, a volte improvviso. Quando il livello dell’acqua raggiunge un punto critico, essa scorre attraverso canali subglaciali verso valle, in direzione del fiume Vispa. Un evento simile è noto come GLOF (Glacial Lake Outburst Flood), in cui enormi quantità d’acqua possono essere rilasciate in brevissimo tempo.
Per i glaciologi, il Gornersee è di grande interesse. Il lago offre preziose informazioni sul mondo nascosto sotto il ghiaccio: come si muove l’acqua di fusione, come si formano i canali di drenaggio sotterranei e quale ruolo gioca il cambiamento climatico in questi processi.

Während das Tal bereits im Schatten liegt, werden die höchsten Gipfel des Monte Rosa ein letztes Mal vom Sonnenlicht erfasst. Ein stiller Moment über einer Landschaft, die sich ständig verändert.
Der Grenzgletscher fliesst vom Monte Rosa Massiv hinab und trifft auf den Gornergletscher, der auf Höhe des Gornersees (links im Bild) bereits fast verschwunden ist. Dieser temporäre Schmelzwassersee entsteht im Sommer an der Grenze der beiden Gletscher, wenn sich Schmelzwasser in einer natürlichen Senke auf dem Eis sammelt. Sobald die Temperaturen sinken, verschwindet der See wieder.
Besonders am Gornersee ist sein gelegentlich plötzliches natürliches Ablassen. Wenn der Wasserstand eine kritische Höhe erreicht, bahnt sich das Wasser über subglaziale Kanäle den Weg hinab in Richtung Fluss Vispa. Ein solches Ereignis wird als GLOF (Glacial Lake Outburst Flood) bezeichnet, dabei können in kurzer Zeit enorme Wassermengen abfliessen.
Für Glaziologen ist der Gornersee von grossem Interesse. Der See liefert Einblicke in die verborgene Welt unter dem Eis: Wie sich Schmelzwasser bewegt, wie unterirdische Abflusskanäle entstehen und welche Rolle der Klimawandel dabei spielt.

While the valley is already in shadow, the highest peaks of Monte Rosa are lit one last time by the setting sun. A moment of stillness above a landscape in constant motion.
The Grenzgletscher flows down from the Monte Rosa massif and connects with the Gorner Glacier, which has already almost vanished near the Gornersee (left in the image). This temporary meltwater lake appears in summer on the boundary between the two glaciers, as meltwater accumulates in a natural depression on the ice. When temperatures drop, the lake disappears again.
What makes the Gornersee remarkable is its sometimes sudden natural drainage. When the water level reaches a critical height, it carves its way through subglacial channels downhill toward the Vispa River. Such an event is known as a GLOF (Glacial Lake Outburst Flood), during which immense volumes of water can be released in a short time.
For glaciologists, the Gornersee is of great value. It provides insights into the hidden world beneath the ice: how meltwater moves, how subsurface drainage channels form, and what role climate change plays in these processes.

A former Grand Trunk Western SD40-2 was heading up an impressive collection of museum-worthy locomotion awaiting an uncertain future.
Every one of those locomotives would have made a fantastic addition to any railroad museum.
Alas, it was not to be as they would be scrapped shortly thereafter.
