an exchange between you and the landscape, in which - however unlikely this may seem - there is a dialogue between the two of you. It is simply courtesy to allow the landscape to speak :-)

this year I hope to make friends with painting again
I'm both scared and excited about it...

please know I'm not leaving the flickr community
I value you enormously...
many many thanks for understanding
and whether in words or in quiet...
thank you for the company!!
I thought these pincushions looked rather pretty in black and white. They are white anyway. Thank you to all my Flickr friends for your continued support!!

Un peu cabotin le Martin 2020 , bizarrement il ne vient pas pêcher depuis mes perchoirs mais se tient haut dans les arbres avant de fondre sur ses futures victimes , c'est donc très compliqué cette saison pour avoir quelques images correctes , heureusement je me suis constitué un bon dossier les années précédentes ou je peux puiser à volonté , mais ça n'empêche que j'aurai bien aimé qu'il soit un peu plus coopératif , la saison avance et je n'ai que de maigres résultats pour un nombre très conséquent d'heures passées confiné dans l'espace réduit de ma tente affût .

A bit of a booby Martin 2020, strangely he does not come to fish from my perches but stands high in the trees before pouncing on his future victims, so it's very complicated this season to have some correct images, luckily I have made up my mind a good record in previous years where I can draw at will, but that doesn't prevent me from having liked him to be a little more cooperative, the season is progressing and I only have poor results for a very significant number of hours spent confined in the small space of my hide tent.

The Quran describes the oppressor or tyrant as "deaf, dumb and blind", which is essentially the spiritual reality of the tyrant. He cannot hear the cries of his victims; he cannot communicate with those he oppresses because he imperiously views them as representatives of a lower order of being than himself, and thus as mere commodities to be exploited or, even worse, as plagues to be cleansed; and he cannot see the harm he does. Aristotle (d. 322 BC) reminds us that all tyrants invariably surround themselves with sycophants because they cannot bear the truth. But the tyrant also needs these sycophants because he demands tacit approval of his beliefs and actions, and most of all he fears an honest and critical view of himself. The more the tyrant's power grows, the less he tolerates dissent. What is true of the tyrant is also true of the tyrannical nation. He demands that everyone agree with him and affirm his position because he cannot see, hear or speak to anyone but himself. He believes that his vision is clear, his understanding is unsurpassed, and his words, and only his words, are worthy of utterance or consideration. As human beings, only through others can we truly see ourselves, hear ourselves and talk to ourselves; but in his fixation on himself the tyrant is totally incapable of such reflection.
(Hamza Yusuf. Introduction to the "The prayer of the oppressed")
Celle ci a une saveur tout à fait particulière puisque c'est enfin mon tout premier Martin 2020 , après m'être cassé les dents à plusieurs reprises sur mes spots habituels ces derniers temps , j'ai donc décidé de changer de tactique en exploitant d'autres endroits , armé d'une paire de jumelles j'ai cherché les indices m'indiquant ses lieux de pêche , et je suis tombé finalement sur une grosse branche de saule qui surplombe la rivière et c'est depuis cette branche que j'ai pu observer mon gaillard en action de pêche , ni une ni deux j'ai mis en place mon fameux mode opératoire habituel en fichant sur la berge un perchoir non loin de la branche et finalement ce matin là il est venu à deux reprises prendre possession de son tout nouveau plongeoir .

This one has a very special flavor since it's finally my very first Martin 2020, after having broken my teeth several times on my usual spots lately, so I decided to change tactics by exploiting 'other places, armed with a pair of binoculars I looked for clues indicating its fishing grounds, and I finally came across a large willow branch overlooking the river and it is from this branch that I I was able to observe my fellow fishing, neither one nor two I set up my famous usual operating mode by tying a perch on the bank not far from the branch and finally that morning he came twice to take possession of its brand new diving board.

Understanding is the reflection of creating.
(Une citation d'Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam. (1838/1889)
The little prince helps to take care of the baby bears...
Skippy was inspired to create his universe with the help of two amazing new collections:
Booger's Baby Bear Day Care !
Scarlet Creative Architecture's Cordelia Chateau and Furniture!
You can pick up both sets at the Arcade!
Take care of one another, my friends.
Let's lift one another up up up.
Together we can create a universe
based on compassion and understanding!
When are we going to learn to live together in peace and understanding? Violence is NO solution. We need to share our space in this world together and make room for all of us to share with respect, friendship and love! There is NO ROOM for hate in this world, it just kills us all and creates never-ending pain and devastation. STOP the hate, START the love!!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Slow motion snowflakes
A flurry of feet
Doors open and possibilities awaken
A thin thread hangs from a heavy coat
Shadows and sunlight
Dance across the floors and walls
Clouds who cry
An understanding moon
Shifting patterns
Lines and curves on paper
Dots and loops on canvas
A trapped black disc spinning round and round
Life is a an abstract and experimental film
that makes no sense to you at all.
So, you sleep through most of it anyway.

Au milieu de l'hiver, j'ai découvert en moi un invincible été.
Albert CAMUS
[In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.]
Times are difficult: I just lost my father.
Lots of different thoughts to integrate, difficulties to accept but I still feel strong.
Lucidity and understanding are opening up this winter.
My understanding is the Carolina praying mantis and Arizona praying mantis are the only native North American mantis species. The other fifteen species are introduced. This mantis was found inside my house. I captured him and held him for a few minutes then placed him on Russia Salvia for a photo. As you can see, he's preening himself, something only a relaxed mantis will do. Of course, he was released unharmed.
A month ago I had the pleasure of meeting this amazing person. We've been through an amazing ride full of laughter and understanding. Mike ... I want to experience everything with you. ♥ Thank you for being here and for your amazing understanding and guidance. I hope you know I am here for you as well and that I am excited for what's coming up ahead. Merry Christmas handsome *rubs your belly and laughs*

Light snowfall just now and my garden Buddha smiles.
I've completed my tax return so I'm smiling too :-)
Peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Just open up your heart, let the sun shine in
Let it shine down on you
Understanding and acknowledging its existence is the pathway to Light
Remaining in Ignorance enables it
It is dark, it is ugly – it is vile
It is the devil’s playground
It is seductive
Only through shining a light on its existence . . .
Can humanity and our earth heal
Humanity is on the precipice
Let’s pray - Amen
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
–Isaiah 5:20
A PRAYER TO DEFEAT THE WORK OF SATAN
O Divine Eternal Father, in union with your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the Power of your greatest enemy – the evil spirits. Cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever!
Take possession of your Kingdom which You have created and which is rightfully yours. Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take.
Amen.
I like the way threads stacked in a repetitive geometrical lines to form a centre hole.
Learning and understanding together, a team work to achieve success!
Understanding the laws of nature does not mean that we are immune to their operations.

When we understand the importance of living together without judgement we will have arrived at a significantly better place than we are today. It is easy to be judgmental, but what purpose does it have? If we live together in peace and allow one another to live the way we wish as long as it does not physically harm anyone, that is what we should be aiming for. Compassion, love, tolerance, understanding, acceptance, respect, equality, diversity and decency will take you a long way. Steer your children away from hate, greed, selfishness and power, this type of behavior only causes pain and sadness to so many, so let's embrace our differences. This should happen globally with all nationalities being involved. So let's get started now!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
We had been to Chaco Cultural Park, and loved it. The park is magical because you can explore inside the actual structures. This really makes you feel history. Well, when it was time to schedule a visit to nearby Aztec Ruins National Monument, we figured it was going to be more of the same. Now, that was just fine with us, because we loved Chaco.
However, the National Park team was very thoughtful. They did not want similar experiences in two parks that were so close to each other. So how to you address this issue? They had Chaco is a state of arrested decay, meaning they work hard to leave it like they found it. No more decay, but no less either. Its a fine balance. So at Aztec, they re-created a full community sized Kiva. This contrasted with Chaco because it was finished, like it would have been long ago. This provided a very different experience and thought us new things about the Puebloan culture (not Aztec, BTW, that was a misnomer made long ago that stuck).
So what does that mean to this image? I had shot a classic image at Chaco that showed the procession of doorways spanning several rooms. I loved it. But I did not want to shoot the same thing here. Well, here they recreated the wood ceilings throughout a procession of rooms. So to emphasize the uniqueness of Aztec (the fact that its complete) I tried to capture the wood ceiling. What I came up with reminded me that I often do much better work when I have some kind of constraint. The fact that I challenged myself to include the ceiling ended up creating an image that truly am proud of. It ended up with a real adventure feeling (blame Indy I guess).
Enjoy. Let me know what you think.
It is a real problem, is it not? How can we come to an understanding of this utterly diverse and complicated world whilst sitting in the particularity of our home? It is true that the media, from newspapers to TV and social media, offer us a daily digest of selected information. We would, I sincerely hope, critically examine these news and think for ourselves. However, even so, we would have to deal with the selective nature of the information. We never see "the whole picture". Our knowledge, even at the best of times, is necessarily fragmentary. It is absolutely important to be aware of this limitation - it is one of the virtues that make us human.
I am saying this because AI is on the march. AI has never ever left its ivory tower, it never "left home". It never made any experiences. AI has not seen anything. It does not know how to suffer. What it does is to harvest and (often illegally) exploit printed or published materials, information it has neither created nor even collected. It does not know what it does not know. And yet AI will come up with explanations and scenarios that are untroubled by any kind of self-doubt. AI does not know when it is peddling false information. AI will interpret the world whilst staying at its "home" and will not even be aware of it. Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at approx. F8.
The alpha and the omega. Physicists have been working to develop the "holy grail" therory that mathematically explains the behavior of the universe from the very small - quantum level particles, to the massively large - galaxies, black holes and dark matter. String theory has moved the thinking beyond just the newtonian (large) and quantum (small) prior successes but there are still large gaps in their understanding and mathematical underpinnings have been elusive. Submittal for the October 19, 2020 Macro Monday’s theme of “String”.

I want to apologize to my contacts for not being around much lately. I was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago and the treatment process and hospitalizations have really taken a toll on me. I'm hoping to get back to posting and commenting soon. Thank you for understanding!

My trip to the mountains in high Atlas region
(January – March 1989)
First of all, I ask for your understanding because of the poor image quality, but there is a simple reason: The photo was taken in 1989 and I digitized it about 10 years ago. The camera I had with me at that time was my first own one. It was a nice analog Nikon pocket camera. I wanted to mention this briefly, not that you guys think I recently bought a cheaper camera. I wish I could offer you a better image quality. (Sometimes it's good to look at pictures from a distance. In this case it is highly recommended.)
The longing and love for the mountains accompanied me from the time on when I was in my younger ages. The long-awaited trip to North Africa on a motorbike began in 1989. It was freezing cold in Switzerland when my best friend and I at that time set out for Morocco, our first destination in the north part of Africa. The way led via France, Spain and then by ferry to Morocco. We knew of the diversity of this beautiful Land, which had large desert areas, different sea coasts and high mountains. The mountains of the Atlas fascinated us most, because where can you see snow mountains and wonderful deserts at the same time? The biggest mountains of the high Atlas area are over 4000m above sea level, as high as the Alps in Switzerland. The drive there was very arduous and also very dangerous, because there were practically only bad roads (sand slopes) on this way, without any safety precautions. An accident there would have been terrible, far away from civilization. (At that time there existed neither a smartphone nor a navigation system.) We reached the highest point with our motorbikes at about 2800m above sea level. It took us a whole day to get there and back to our starting point. We only met a handful of people on the whole way. The view from up there was so impressive and beautiful and it strengthened my close connection with nature and especially with the mountain world. This photo was taken on the way to the highest point, when we drove through the last small village, or what is left of it. This trip to the biggest mountains in Morocco is deeply engraved in my memory and it still moves me today as it did then. To be dependent on one another, to go through thick and thin, to help one another, can rely one hundred percent on each other, to forego safety and comfort and to be real friends - all of this has shaped my life to this day. I am so infinitely grateful that I dared this great adventure with my best friend I ever had when I was a young man. We both came home healthy to Switzerland, crossing also Algeria and Tunisia, after thousands of kilometers by motorbikes...and life goes on...
I thought for a long time whether I should share my personal story and this picture with you or not? But I found that I should do it for all of my dear friends I got on flickr. It's a part of me, of my younger years, when I traveled the world carefree and uncomplicated. Finally, it was my wish to share this story with all of you. I was able to learn so much from it and it were my children who kept asking me what I had experienced on this trip and on others as well. Thank you for listening.
By the way: I have remained a passionate Biker to this day and I love to drive into the mountains of the Swiss Alps.
Sometimes I look back at my life and I'm seriously impressed that I'm still alive.
At the time when I set out to discover the world, this song was a great success and tells of the trip to foreign countries. I remember like it was just yesterday. I have tears in my eyes ...

Am Ende der Tour über den Bergheidenweg durch die Wacholderheide bei Arft kam nun doch noch die Sonne zum Vorschein und vertrieb so langsam den Nebel. Hier auf dem Parkplatz Raßberg endet nun auch die kleine Nebelserie durch die Wacholderheide in der Osteifel.

*Working Towards a Better World
This is done in solidarity with my friend Omar, speaking up for the Syrians and their terrible plight and the lack of world understanding and attention, surely if we all understood better the world would come together and react and find a solution for this horrendous problem! So I join him in trying to bring this to world attention.
