Wading out to one of the exposed sandbars to finally greet the Sun. A two minute exposure is enough to transport this scene to another world.
A magic moment at the epic Golden Gate Bridge as God put on a bridal veil of dense fog, transcending its epic beauty.
Love flies, runs, leaps for joy; it is free and unrestrained. Love gives all for all, resting in One who is highest above all things, from whom every good flows and proceeds. Love does not regard the gifts, but turns to the Giver of all good gifts. Love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds. Love feels no burden, takes no account of toil, attempts things beyond its strength; love sees nothing as impossible, for it feels able to achieve all things. Love therefore does great things; it is strange and effective; while he who lacks love faints and fails.
-Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
This quote is taken from another book I read this year-The Lost Tribe of Fatherless Girls by T Kira Madden, whose mother was of Chinese Hawaiian descent and father was Jewish American. She was raised in Florida and had to cope with both dysfunctional parents as well as the racism she experienced within her family and at school. This is also a story of her falling in love with another woman. I swear I have read more than just memoirs this year, though it seems like lately I have been drawn to them more than usual!

In Japan, crows (genus Corvus)—including species like the Jungle Crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) and Carrion Crow (Corvus corone)—hold a prominent place in cultural and spiritual narratives, transcending specific subspecies. Their symbolism is deeply rooted in Shinto and folklore traditions, rather than tied to a single variety.
The mythical Yatagarasu, a three-legged crow mentioned in the Nihon Shoki (720 CE), is revered as a divine guide in Shinto belief, said to have led Emperor Jimmu to victory. This archetype, depicted in artifacts like Nikko Toshogu Shrine’s carvings, represents crows broadly as messengers of the gods. Rural regions, such as Nikko’s UNESCO-protected mountains and shrines, associate crows with kami (spirits) and omens, reflecting their dual role as protectors and mysterious intermediaries.
In cities, studies by the Yamashina Institute for Ornithology document their remarkable intelligence, such as tool use and traffic adaptation. Urban crows, often a mix of species, are both criticized for noise and admired for their ingenuity. Meanwhile, in rural Nikko, their presence near ancient cedar forests and temples reinforces their timeless link to sacred landscapes.
Historical records, including Edo-period woodblock prints and shrine artifacts, further cement the crow’s enduring role in Japan’s cultural imagination, blending reverence with the pragmatism of a species thriving in both modernity and tradition.

“Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?”
― Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki

Please forgive the grandiloquent caption, it came to my mind spontaneously :-) (It is the title of the 1993 album by death metal band Benediction ...)
Yesterday morning the world was submerged in mist and allowed me to capture Hamburg’s famous Ellerntors bridge in this this particular mood.
This bridge was the western entrance into the city of Hamburg until the 17th century.

Asleep of hands...
She lay peacefully content in the comfort of home with the moon and stars glisten and sparkle through her window echoing silk reflections on her curtains in their delicate materials her light enveloping the nights shadows as she slowly drifts to sleep in her visionary dreams where numbers of hands ethereal glowing began to float, echo and recede in sweet harmony above her as if watching over her and slowly floating to her window on the night of silvery moon where light transcends through out time and space to leave feelings of peace and serenity in her visionary dreams where freedom resides.....

On a drive across somewhere North York. I thought I'd ICM this one as well :) Even with some long exposure, just a slight tap got the job done :)
Hey have you guys noticed the amount of 'contact fishers' lately? I mean these accounts rack up 10-100,000 contacts and they'll likely won't ever show any interest or interact with you. I don't know, I just find it odd to create an account just to rack up views.
