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.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great evening everybody!! :)

In Victorian times, Shad Thames included the largest warehouse complex in London. Completed in 1873, the warehouses housed huge quantities of tea, coffee, spices and other commodities, which were unloaded and loaded onto river boats.
During the 20th century the area went into decline as congestion and containerization forced shipping to unload goods further east, and the last warehouses closed in 1972.
Many artists lived in the area in the 1970s (presumably due to the low cost of living there), reportedly including David Hockney and Derek Jarman.
Shad Thames was regenerated in the 1980s and 1990s, when the disused but picturesque warehouses throughout the area were converted into expensive flats, many with restaurants, bars, shops, etc. on the ground floor.

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

"Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair."
Quote - Rick Warren
I believe that, sometimes, you can see ART "already" even if the piece is still not yet finished ;)

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 took a photo of the work to build a few new roads on a former kennels, which you will find in the first comment below.
As you will see from the image above, it's quite a transformation. i converted the image to monochrome.
We live in a state of constant change, we are transforming learning and evolving sometimes for the better and sometimes not.
This is a little bit of creative work from me for Friday, wishing everyone a lovely peaceful happy weekend.
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.
