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 :-)

During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.

Understanding is the reflection of creating.
(Une citation d'Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam. (1838/1889)
Then to the rolling Heav'n itself I cried,
Asking, "What Lamp had Destiny to guide
"Her little Children stumbling in the Dark?"
And -- "A blind Understanding!" Heav'n replied.
by Omar Khayyam
through an understanding of others and the world we inhabit. When that happens, the result, like photographs, are really the expressions of the life of the maker.

Renards, nuisibles vraiment ?
Chaque année ce sont plus de 600 000 renards qui sont tués en France par le lobby de la chasse sans aucune raison scientifique... Comment dans le pays de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry peut-on encore persécuter cet animal si fascinant ? Ils sont des êtres doués de sensibilité. Ils sont nos racines. : Si vous prenez l'ensemble des mammifères terrestres de cette planète :
36 % sont des êtres humains, 60% des animaux d'élevages pour nourrir l'humanité, et seulement 4 % sont des animaux sauvages. 4%... Comment avons-nous pu fermer les yeux sur notre folie ? Enfant j'étais déjà fasciné par les animaux. Jamais je n'aurais cru pouvoir vivre toutes ces années à leurs côtés. J'ai sans doute vécu les meilleurs années de ma vie en admirant la nature mais surtout en prenant conscience que nous ne sommes pas seuls. La planète n'est pas notre dû et les animaux ne sont pas à notre service. Des siècles d'héritages culturels, religieux, philosophiques nous l'ont fait croire mais il n'en est rien ...et si on retrouvait l'enfant qui sommeille en nous ? Ils ne sont ni nos amis, ni nos ennemis mais ils aimeraient juste qu'on les laisse tranquille... à MÉDITER

Foxes, pests really?
Each year, more than 600,000 foxes are killed in France by the hunting lobby for no scientific reason ... How in the country of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry can we still persecute this fascinating animal? They are sentient beings. They are our roots. : If you take all the land mammals on this planet:
36% are human beings, 60% are animals raised to feed humanity, and only 4% are wild animals. 4% ... How have we been able to close our eyes to our madness? As a child I was already fascinated by animals. I never thought I could live all these years with them. I have undoubtedly lived the best years of my life admiring nature but especially realizing that we are not alone. The planet is not our due and animals are not at our service. Centuries of cultural, religious and philosophical heritage have made us believe it, but it is not so ... what if we found the child that lies dormant in us? They are neither our friends nor our enemies but they would just like us to leave them alone ...

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! ❤️❤️❤️
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

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.

Newspapers, radio and television reporting on deaths are occurring at an alarming and unreal rate and they are not getting better but worse, by the day! When are we going to do something to stop this situation? If our politicians will do nothing, we the people have to act and react!
Family is the most important unit and we need to cherish and protect it! We need to teach our own families about love, respect, understanding and compassion and how important it is for us to reach out to one another, listen, help and embrace our differences. Hate only brings misery and violence, which no family needs! Please Flickr artists help me address this problem and bring it to the forefront of our attention.
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! ❤️❤️❤️

"Gravity is one major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides result from the gravitational attractions of the sun & moon on the oceans of the earth. (sumich, Jolo 1996)" At low tide, the green algae once again reveals itself and a reversal of color in this seascape shot results.
To those who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas. I also hope and pray that all religions can come together in peace and understanding and include warm friendship with those who are not religious. I believe that we have to spread love, tolerance, friendship and come together to make our world a better place with more equality, respect and the ability to live and let live without being judgemental.

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
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 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.

The Buddha's insight into the middle way is not simply about a balance between extremes. This conventional understanding misses the deeper revelation of the middle way as being the very nature of unexcelled enlightenment. The middle way is an invitation to leap beyond nirvana and samsara and to realize the unborn Buddha mind right in the middle of everywhere.

[Listen]
I hear him, before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realise he's there
When I turn the light off and turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
All his love is 'til eternity
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
He's very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
When I stay up late
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate
Oh, I'm so worried about my love
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever!"
And here I am again, my girl
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes

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.
Penone (born in 1947) poses with his iconic self-portrait from 1970. He was 23 when he asked a local optician to create mirroring contact lenses. They are not translucent, so the artist was temporarily blinded when the picture was made.
We should realize that art is a process of inner vision. We make photos of the things we recognize. Onlookers recognize what they recognized before. Mirrors are magical gateways to a deeper understanding.
And the peace that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding. Find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly.
Richard Bach.
Richard David Bach (born June 23, 1936) is an American writer. Bach is widely known as the author of some hugely popular 1970s best-sellers, including Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1970) and Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah (1977). Bach has authored numerous works of fiction and non-fiction, including One: A Novel (1989) and Out of My Mind (1999).
Most of Bach's books have been semi-autobiographical, using actual or fictionalized events from his life to illustrate his philosophy. Bach's books espouse his philosophy that our apparent physical limits and mortality are merely appearance. Bach is noted for his love of aviation and for his books related to flying in a metaphorical context. Bach has pursued flying as a hobby since the age of 17. In late August 2012, Bach was badly injured when on approach to landing at Friday Harbor, Washington, his aircraft clipped some power lines and crashed upside down in a field. Source Wikipedia.

Europe, Spain, Valencia, Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe, Saurus skeleton
Let’s return to delightful Valencia and the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias.
As you probably know, the architecture of Santiago Calatrava is based on biomorphic shapes, skeletal structures are his thing. Whereas the Estação de Oriente is based on a whale, the ‘Turning torso’ in Malmö (Sweden) on a man, the morphology of the Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe seems to be based on creatures of the Jurassic era.
The Museo is a wonderful science, biology and environment museum. Full interactivity is one of its features, the motto of which is “Forbidden not to touch, not to feel, not to think”.
And indeed, visiting is an engaging delight. It’s located in "The City of Arts and Sciences (Valencian: Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències. Spanish: Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, a cultural and architectural quarter which formed one of the reason why we at last visited Valencia (the other reason was the spectacular ‘Fallas’). It's near the old riverbed of the river Turia, which was drained and rerouted after a catastrophic flood in 1957, and turned into a lovely park. The Ciutat’ is also designed by Santiago Calatrava (and Félix Candela) and opened in April, 1998.
True to the legacy of the star architect/engineer, it costed nearly three times the initially expected cost of €300 million and almost bankrupted the region.
Inside the Museo is the skeleton of a family member of the dinosaur and the relation between it keleton and Calatrava’s architecture is probably immediately obvious.
This is number 278 of Museum.
