We don't know where we're going; or who will share
sometime i'll find you; some day, someone will care.
Dreams and promises forget about our fears
dreams come with losing, promises come with love
i thought i'd know when my true love was here
You, with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged, oh, I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people, you can lose sight of it
And the darkness inside you makes you feel so small
But I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors, and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
Beautiful, like a rainbow
- Phil Collins

... to be posting again, and processing again, and it feels even better doing it while listening to Cat Power!
I had so much to say... so much planned to say in the description of this pic, but then no words came to me! Like my friend Crosses once said: "When words are missing... is when we are feeling at a maximum level!" So true, I'll never forget it.
I just adore this photo.

Is it me or Flickr really sharpens the photos?
NEW: Tumblr I'll be using Tumblr to post alternative photos and different editions of the ones I post here... or just to post quotes... or to reblog... or to share a song... or whatever.
WR 134 is a true exotic, a Wolf-Rayet star. The name, Wolf and Rayet? Those were the guys who, in the mid-19th century, suddenly saw spectra while observing stars in Cygnus, unusual, spectacular. It had to be a new class of stars: the Wolf-Rayet stars! And WR 134 is one of them. A Wolf-Rayet variable star. But what makes it so special? Let's say it's under stress; these are stars that have reached the end of their lives, or are close to it. They're practically blowing their outer shells out into space at an incredible speed, over 1,000 km per second, a stellar wind that's quite powerful! And this wind, this material that's being ejected, forms a kind of bubble around the star, a bubble nebula, which can be seen in this image with such a wonderfully delicate bluish hue thanks to the long exposures with my OIII filter. And the star itself? It's not huge in diameter, about five times the radius of the sun, so that's okay. But the temperature: over 63,000 Kelvin! For comparison: Our sun has a surface temperature of around 5,500 Kelvin. So this WR star is brutally hot. And because it's so hot and blasts so much energy into the surrounding interstellar gas and dust, it's also 400,000 times brighter than the sun! So these aren't just cozy stars anymore; they're, let's say, the rock stars among the stars: extreme, short-lived, and they actively shape their environment.
WR 134 ein echter Exot, ein Wolf-Rayet-Stern. Der Name, Wolf und Rayet? Das waren die Typen, die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bei der Beobachtung von Sternen im Schwan plötzlich Spektren sahen, ungewöhnlich, spektakulär. Das musste eine neue Sternenklasse sein: die Wolf-Rayet-Sterne! Und WR 134 ist so einer. Ein veränderlicher Wolf-Rayet-Stern. Aber was macht den so besonders? Der ist sagen wir mal im Stress, das sind Sterne, die sind am Ende ihres Lebens angekommen oder kurz davor. Die pusten ihre äußeren Hüllen geradezu ins All hinaus mit irrsinniger Geschwindigkeit, über 1000km pro Sekunde, ein Sternenwind, der es in sich hat! Und dieser Wind, diese Materie, die da rausgeschleudert wird, die bildet um den Stern herum so eine Art Blase, einen Blasennebel, der auf dem Bild dann durch die Langzeitbelichtungen mit meinem OIII-Filter so wunderbar zartbläulich zu sehen ist. Und der Stern selbst? Der ist nicht riesig vom Durchmesser her, so fünffacher Sonnenradius, geht also. Aber die Temperatur: über 63.000 Kelvin! Zum Vergleich: Unsere Sonne hat an der Oberfläche um die 5.500 Kelvin. Dieser WR-Stern ist also brutal heiß. Und weil er so heiß ist und so viel Energie in das ihn umgebende interstellare Gas und den Staub rausballert, ist der auch 400.000-mal heller als die Sonne! Das sind also keine gemütlichen Sterne mehr, das sind, sagen wir mal die Rockstars unter den Sternen: extrem, kurzlebig, und sie gestalten ihre Umgebung ganz aktiv mit.

..truly great art/ tv [sufficiently disturbing]
se.2: truly bad tv [just laughable]
se.3: somewhere between the two, and a slow burn for sure
se.4: compelling and worthy

the colours are true , taken in front of the Steel works Port Talbot and the very large gas burner :-) it sure was warm under the flames !!!!
True North is non-negotiable since a compass will always show where it is relative to your current position. There's a metaphorical significance to this concept somewhere. I just don't know where to begin looking.

this song just came into my head when thinking of putting on this picture, inspired me for the title and then this video was also in pink...
before the image itself had made me think of Fred and Ginger dancing... on one of these old romantic tunes, but maybe also Bing and Grace did some dancing together (wouldn 't know, not interested in the movie, just in this song which is a classic, good for all times... also future dancing I 'ld think)
anyway, so I didn 't choose a video with the movie scene of this song 'cause they were just laying on a boat there, furthermore most of the videos had a bad old sound, weren 't pleasing to the ear... this one wasn 't too bad of quality... and I ran out of time for searching another one still, 'cause my daughter was coming to dinner and after that we spent the rest of the evening till late searching the internet looking for suitable lighting for her new house which is going to be finished somewhere next month... helping to decide!

This is a story of unparalled love. Find it in John, Chapter 3 verse 16.
He willingly died for us while we were still sinners.... There is also a story told in this Book of a great wedding feast coming in the (near) future. I hope you're a part of the brides wedding party.
What is it about the this Jesus that makes you love Him or hate Him?
