THE MOON THROUGH A CLOUD, 2024 by poseinformal

48 18

Those who understand Astronomy say that we owe many things to the Moon, including that life continues to exist.

There is no other planet in our solar system that has a satellite proportionally as large as the Moon with respect to the Earth, hence things happen to us that cannot happen on other planets.

It was quite a challenge, photographing the Moon on the 11th day of its first quarter, through a subtle layer of clouds and not losing much of its detail.

Photo taken from a pedestrian walkway on the M-503 highway as it passes through Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, Spain.

LA LUNA A TRAVÉS DE UNA NUBE, 2024

Los que entienden de Astronomía dicen que le debemos muchas cosas a La Luna, incluso que siga existiendo la vida.

No existe ningún otro planeta en nuestra sistema solar que tenga un satélite proporcionalmente tan grande como la Luna con respecto a la Tierra, de ahí que nos pasen cosas que en otros planetas no pueden ocurrir.

Fue todo un desafío, fotografiar la Luna en el día 11 de su cuarto creciente, a través de una sutil capa de nubes y no perder mucho de su detalle.

Succubus by Claire Spellhunter

19

I understand now, the legend of the succubus

And from whence it came

Being broken hearted, alone, and jaded

Can make a night stalking lunatic, of any dame

My heart has been stolen,

I'll never be the same

So now I wander the night,

With the "succubus" name

I'll slip into your dreams,

Make any man my prey

A female demon of the night,

Its the truth, what they say

A nocturnal dream,

I'll dance in your head

And when the sun shines,

I'll hide under your bed

I cannot love you,

As I have no heart

My heart was broken,

So now I roam the dark

We succubi, hide in the shadows,

Watching our game

We are all heartless creatures,

We feel no shame

Yes, I understand now the legend of the succubus,

And from whence it came

As my heart is gone

Now "succubus" is my name

(Gidgette Mar 2016)

MJ Cole & Freya Ridings ... Waking Up

Let me breathe ... by Taylor

183 27

I love you with open eyes

I need you not to understand

I'm trying it's the only way

I told you I can not be saved

I'm waking up

I can see it all

I'm waking up

Can I breath in the love from you?

'Cause I know that you want me too

Let me breath

You know me

You know what I've done

You told me, sleep beautiful one

When only the moonlight shone

It hold me 'till my heart was numb

I'm waking up

I can feel it all

I'm waking up

I can breath, I can love for you?

But I know that you want me too

I feel it burn

It's in the air in you to love me like you do?

It's in the air in me, to stay asleep

It's in the air in you to love me like you do?

It's in the air of me, today I see

I can see it all, I'm waking up

Can I breath in the love from you?

But I know you want me to

And I know you want me to

Himalayas "The Weather Barrier", Tibet 2017 by reurinkjan

80 18

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.

The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

I'm so ashamed, sighed the Butterfly ! by Marie Laurence Oribert

29 16

You will understand why when you know my story : I am a Yellow Butterfly of the genus Eurema.

I thought I bore the same name as one of my cousins, who visited this garden a few days ago, called Small Grass-Yellow (Eurema smilax) but I am now told that my name is NO-BRAND Grass-Yellow (Eurema brigitta) ! Can you imagine that, being called NO-BRAND, like any common grocery item in a supermarket ??

freedom is a state of mind by Kasia Derwinska

155 12

If other people do not understand our behavior—so what? Their request that we must only do what they understand is an attempt to dictate to us. If this is being "asocial" or "irrational" in their eyes, so be it. Mostly they resent our freedom and our courage to be ourselves. We owe nobody an explanation or an accounting, as long as our acts do not hurt or infringe on them. How many lives have been ruined by this need to "explain," which usually implies that the explanation be "understood," i.e. approved. Let your deeds be judged, and from your deeds, your real intentions, but know that a free person owes an explanation only to himself—to his reason and his conscience—and to the few who may have a justified claim for explanation.

The dragonfly

It's easy to be fascinated by dragonflies. They were among the very first winged insects to evolve over 300 million years ago! Dragonflies belong to the order Odonata, characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but adults hold their wings away from, and perpendicular to the body when at rest. Their two sets of wings work independently, allowing dragonflies to maneuver through the air effortlessly. Their huge eyes give them incredible vision in almost every directions except directly behind them.

Many people ask, "What do dragonflies eat?" As adults, dragonflies eat other insects and can consume hundreds of mosquitoes in one day! typically eat mosquitoes and other small insects. They are valued as predators, since they help control populations of harmful insects. Dragonflies are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic. Adult dragonflies do not bite or sting humans, though nymphs are capable of delivering a painful but harmless bite.

"(Well, this type of photography was never my point of interest but it certainly is interesting, when you try to see everything that happens around you.

Here I will leave you in some photos of these experiments, I hope you like it.)" ☺

Starlight by Patricia Meyer

20 9

Understand, I'll slip quietly

away from the noisy crowd

when I see the pale

stars rising, blooming, over the oaks

I'll pursue solitary pathways

through the pale twilit meadows,

with only this one dream :

You come too.
