Ugly Transformation of a Building
View allAll Photos Tagged Transformational
After spending the entire day hunting fall colors around Big Bear Lake I noticed that the only trees that looked to be at peak were the non-indiginous ones that were purchased and planted. I found this tree along the main drive and it looked to me to be confused and yet glorious in all it's shades of color which were highlighted by the piercing blue of the sky behind. I sat and stared then after a while I felt at peace and understood. Humanity has entered a time of profound change and we are all pushed by necessity and pulled by opportunity.
The push is a growing systems crisis, evident in the breakdown of financial institutions, climate change, resource depletion, unsustainable populations, and more.
The pull is the opportunity to rise to a new level of human maturity, partnership, and freedom. The combined push and pull at a global scale make this truly a time of profound turning and transformation for humanity. These powerful trends are all represented here in this one tree.

Deer Lake yesterday, on a break between the rain.
I have over 1,600 photos in my "To Post" folder. Which means, if I didn't shoot any more, I could still post every day for four years, four months, two weeks, and two days without breaking a sweat :)
But that's not going to happen - photography is just too much fun. The archives will have to be patient....
For those of you who have watched Virgin River, this is the pier that Jack and Mel had a romantic dinner on...
The Journey by Mary Oliver
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice–
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do–
determined to save
the only life you could save.

"S or Sea, Shark, Skull", Street Art Ghent, Belgium by Cee Pil.
Found some more info about him on internet:
"The whole work can be summarized in the letter S. Sea, Shark, Skull. Artist Cee Pil is a master of interweaving images. Usually he puts two animals together, this time it is a shark and a skull.
It is a temporary fact, because it adorns the scaffolding for the works on the Winter Circus. That is in full transformation. There will be a concert hall, offices and shops, but also catering establishments and terraces. The renovated building must be able to open in 2022."
Location: Lammerstraat, Ghent, Belgium
Mural: S or Sea, Shark, Skull
Artist: Cee Pil
Cold winds travelling over 206 miles of Lake Huron, along with the wave action hitting the shoreline, cause everything in it's path to freeze! In time you will no longer be able to see the branches facing you, they will be completely iced over.

The wind is constantly blowing at the dunes. Each day, the footprints on the dunes are smoothed away. Each day, the dunes are reshaped. It is dusty, but beautiful. 20230618SossusvleiDune.jpg

"Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain."
Henry David Thoreau
While taking an early morning walk today, I spied this leaf at my feet. I promised I'd return and the leaf waited for me. Bliss!

As I come towards the end of my third year in Thailand I have been looking back on my time here and thinking about how much my life has changed. I am more active, sociable, full of energy and generally feel brighter than I have in many years. Every day I enjoy warm sunshine, have a world full of colour, interesting sounds, incredible tastes and smells and experiences that constantly ensure that I live my life on the edge of my comfort zone. I am surrounded by lots of amazing people and have formed some firm friendships that I hope will last me a lifetime. In spite of the global pandemic and all the tragedy and life disruption we have all had to endure I am very thankful for my time here and can honestly say that this experience has taken years off me.
The leap of faith that we took in 2018 certainly paid off! I think these comparative shots from 2017 and 2021 say a thousand words.
Time for a lengthy break from Flickr now as we take our summer holidays but we'll be back for year 4 in August!
I've heard about watching paint dry or ice cubes melt...but have you ever watched Jello become less than bouncy? I just couldn't toss the lemon and orange Jello out without attempting to capture their last moments as they blended themselves into one massive container of liquid sweetness. :) I've been home for way too long!
We had the first nocturnal storm and a sharp drop in temperatures.
It seems that August has kept its promises, arguing a bit with September coming in tonight ....
September for me is like the first month of the year.
The new year begins today ....
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations. I go slow, but everything is very much appreciated, as always....

Crepis aurea ? (60% PlantNet)
Ске́рда (лат. Crépis) — род, как правило, однолетних растений семейства Астровые (Asteraceae),
Crepis, commonly known in some parts of the world as hawksbeard or hawk's-beard (but not to be confused with the related genus Hieracium with a similar common name), is a genus of annual and perennial flowering plants of the family Asteraceae superficially resembling the dandelion, the most conspicuous difference being that Crepis usually has branching scapes with multiple heads (though solitary heads can occur). The genus name Crepis derives from the Greek krepis, meaning "slipper" or "sandal", possibly in reference to the shape of the fruit.
I believe that, sometimes, you can see ART "already" even if the piece is still not yet finished ;)

I have been observing this hyacinth for some days now. It is clearly withering away. In that respect the verb "die" would be applicable. But it is not that simple, because in all of this terminal decline the seeds of new life are being developed. What is happening is a kind of metamorphosis. In other words, there is continuity. Transformation does happen to all forms of life, including us. Whether there is metamorphosis and, hence, continuity, depends on whether or not new life can come out of the old. Just follow the hyacinth. Fuji X-Pro 1 plus Helios 44M-7 wide-open plus a 2x tele converter.
