Elvis Costello & The Attractions - „(What’s so Funny ’Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding“
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssd3U_zicAI
As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin′ for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What's so funny ′bout peace love and understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
′Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
′Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny ′bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

Dans la rue, chaque rencontre est une histoire en suspens …
Cette jeune femme et son enfant, le sourire franc et l’espoir discret, rappellent que la street photo n’est pas qu’une chasse à l’instant décisif et c’est aussi une affaire de respect et de bienveillance !
Un regard, un sourire, parfois une simple pièce…
Ces gestes instaurent une complicité sincère, une reconnaissance mutuelle ...
Être photographe de rue, c’est apprendre à équilibrer curiosité et considération, à saisir l’émotion sans oublier l’humain 🤔
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
On the street, every encounter is a story in the making…
This young woman and her child, their smiles bright and hopeful, remind us that street photography isn’t just about capturing the decisive moment and it’s also about respect and kindness.
A look, a smile, sometimes a small coin…
Yhese gestures create a genuine bond, a quiet understanding...
To be a street photographer is to balance curiosity with empathy, to catch emotion without losing sight of the human being behind it 🤔

An understanding of the natural world and what’s in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.
David Attenborough
Look after the land and the land will look after you, destroy the land and it will destroy you.
Aboriginal Proverb
Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver. Martin Luther King Jr.

Even if you never have the chance to see or touch the ocean, the ocean touches you with every breath you take, every drop of water you drink, every bite you consume. Everyone, everywhere is inextricably connected to and utterly dependent upon the existence of the sea.

The “Beast of the East” and continuous snow storms made a tree fall onto the roof and its huge branches penetrating through it - where they left big damage of the roof and inside the house, too ! We are quite shocked!
That's why hardly any networking is possible these days. Thanks for your understanding !

Understanding my roll.
When our first grandchild was born, my son’s family was stationed at NAS Pax River Maryland. We made the drive from Indiana to Maryland as often as possible and they the reverse. August was a beautiful baby boy who looked and acted like every other baby…like a little humanoid who had lots of intake and the smelliest of outgo. When it comes to babies…until they are old enough and can be responsible for their own head and neck, well let’s just say that holding one makes me as nervous as being wrapped up like a mummy utilizing live Boa constrictors! Scratch that as it is an exaggeration…I would prefer the boa’s!
I do not remember his exact age but I would guess it was around a year and a half old and they were in town for a visit. It was a beautiful spring/summer day and August and I were walking around the front yard, just exploring and enjoying time together. As we walked hand in hand, we came upon a bush. I have no idea what type of bush it was, even though it was part of our landscaping. It was both yellow and green, the type that looked a bit sharp but wasn’t.
We stopped and were looking at the bush when August without a word spoken looked up into my eyes. Instantly I knew his question and I said “You can touch it.” He gently reached out and started feeling the texture of a single branch, and smiled. It was at that exact moment, as if hit by lightning, that I felt like a grandfather for the first time…accepting responsibility for one of my roles in his life, to assist with discovery.
Fast forward seven years and I am at Custer SP photographing bison when I notice this little one. Its nose was inches from the ground and a few feet away from a lone blue flower. It moved from side to side, eyed fixed on the flower as if it was wondering what it was…a bit curious, a bit hesitant. A few seconds passed before it worked up the courage to approach the flower. When it bowed down to ascertain its fragrance, I took this photo.
Watching this bison reminded me of the thrill, the absolute blessing of discovery…making this shot a personal favorite from this trip!

Peace is more than the absence of war. Peace is accord. Harmony.
Laini Taylor
An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind. Mahatma Gandhi
Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.
Albert Schweitzer
Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nations. When there is order in the nations, there will peace in the world. Confucius
Peace begins with a smile.
Mother Teresa
It is not enough to win a war; it is more important to organize the peace.
Aristotle
The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
Marianne Williamson
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

In the heart of Gatorland, I focused my lens on the commanding figure of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis). The stark clarity of this shot belies the complexity of capturing such a subject. With precision, I honed in on the alligator's textured hide and the subtle reflections in its watchful eye, the image a study in texture and detail.
The challenge in this environment was not just to respect the subject's space but to adjust the settings to capture the essence of the alligator's habitat—a task requiring patience and an understanding of the interplay between light and shadow. The result is a portrait that goes beyond mere representation, seeking to evoke the primal essence of one of nature's most resilient survivors.

[j]ust as the myths still live on in ghostly life as fables after they have died as real meaning, so the old rhythmic consciousness of Nature (it should rather be called participation than a consciousness) lives on as the tradition of metrical form. We can only understand the origin of metre by going back to the ages when men were conscious, not merely in their heads, but in the beating of their hearts and the pulsing of their blood—when thinking was not merely of Nature, but was Nature herself.
-Owen Barfield, Poetic Diction, 157.

Hello you lovely people! ♡
I feel incredibly honored to blog about Maru Kado, Dura and Fakeicon today. First of all, I want to give a huge "THANK YOU!" to u10 for passing me his animesh Oni! They're amaziingggg! I had so much fun playing around with these. I am truly amazed by his work and very much looking forward to his next release. Big time fan o3o/
Thank you, Chiaki for passing me the new release of the Dura hair! She is so kind and talented. As always she did an amazing job with the new hair that was inspired by Andrej Pejic. Every time I think "Wow, it can't get any better than this. This is my favorite hair!" suddenly - BOOM - a new Dura hair appears and it's even more amazing than the previous release! How you do that Chikai sensei?!
Also I want to thank Titzuki for being an overall amazing person and the king of fabulousness (yes, that's totally a word) who is so kind and fun to talk with! I love your new shirt! The texture options are amazing! Dayuuum, this rocks!
Last but not least: Thank you Lucien, for taking part in this picture and for bearing with me! It means a lot to me :) Thank you for staying with me all that time, being patient with me and supporting me all along. It was so much fun to take this picture with you and I really enjoyed editing your floofy hair, making it all FLOOF! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° You are such a sweet, kind, understanding, amazing and kawaii person. Never forget that o/ Be proud of yourself. I am really bad at saying cute things but ... I really dislike hugs but I'd hug you any time! (.❛ ᴗ ❛.) ♡
And this one is for you: Thank you for looking at my picture ♡

Don't wait for good things to come your way. Go out there and grab any chance whenever you see one. Get those lemons together with some salt and tequila and enjoy it with your friends - or maybe make lemonade out of it instead or bake a lemon cake. Use it to make something good! Make a change. Your life is in your own hands. If you fall, don't just lay down and wait for someone to lend you a hand. Get up and keep walking your path! You are strong, you are amazing and talented. Be bold, because you are beautiful on the inside and outside. You hold your fate in your own hands. We are all like carbon. Carbon is everywhere. Sometimes you might think that it's nothing special but add pressure and heat and it'll turn into a Diamond.
~

This is my last picture of the year, and the title says it all. No matter what tradition it is made in, it is the togetherness and love that counts! Please keep the love going for our children's sake in 2025. Please don't lose it; it is the most important thing in our life.
This photo was taken on my cell phone by one of my family members. I don't know who to give credit to, but BRAVO to whoever took it, you created a photo of the year. Thank you, and thank you, my family, for everything!

(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding - Nick Lowe
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy3LpV0THB0
As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, "Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?"
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh-oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
And as I walk on through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong, and who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh-oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
So where are the strong, and who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
I took my myself down to the mouth of Loch Lomond for the last days of summer, lots of people enjoying the Loch late in the evening. You can see the side of Ben Lomond. Have a great weekend.
“A photograph is not necessarily a lie, but it isn’t the truth either. It’s more like a fleeting, subjective impression.”
The stare down.
S / He sitting on parking structure. When s/he flapped wings and hopped on edge towards me in a glare.. I stood my ground, snapped pic, sat down. We met a happy understanding of closeness at that point and shared each others space in peace and harmony.
Nature.. a most wonderful teacher.

San Luis Obispo Co., California
I happened onto a kestrel nest site while I was patiently watching some other birds at a nest nearby. I went back regularly in May and watched as the adults occasionally brought back food for the nestlings. At the earlier stages both male and female adult would perch like this briefly before going into the nest hole, enabling at least a brief look at what they were carrying. Mostly Jerusalem Crickets (which are mainly nocturnal to my understanding!). During later stages of feeding the nestlings, there was no pausing at this ledge, so I was hopelessly uncertain what was coming in, as well as being stymied for photography.
Understanding the causes
of being and beings
is a task without end

Nature is an art created by God while its understanding is an art formed by humankind.
Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.
Make the Now the primary focus of your life.

Finally 2016 has arrived! Jolly new year to everyone! Hope it will be another great 365 days for all of us! I have set some goals for myself this year and that is to be a better traveller, a better photographer ..... a better person in general :) less complaining, more understanding, more appreciative of things & ppl around me. Anything positive which I feel I can push myself beyond my limits, I will do my best. What's your new year resolution? ;)

Moon over Árbæjarsafn, Reykjavík, Iceland
The Arbaer Open Air Museum, or in icelandic: Árbæjarsafn, consists of more than 20 old buildings originating mostly from the centre of Reykjavik. Around the middle of the 20th century interest arose to preserve (to icelandic understandings) old buildings. The centre of Reykjavik around the turn of the 19th century was mainly made up of wooden houses being in a rather different state of maintainance. Also turf houses were still a quite normal sight in Reykjavik. Along with the increasing construction of buildings of more durable material the wooden buildings got into danger to disappear slowly out of the centre of the city. Actually the maintainance of wooden buildings is still a problem in Reykjavik where quite a few house owners do not care about the condition of their old wooden house. In the Arbaer Open Air Museum houses will be found that are of historical and artistic relevance. Through the preservation of the old houses memories will be kept alive with the older days and may prevent that the ties with the past get lost. The Arbaer Open Air Museum was opened in 1957 and gives the icelandic population as well as foreigh visitors a good idea of the architecture, way of life and living conditions in earlier days in Reykjavik.

Seeing the world in black and white can offer a certain simplicity, like an old photograph capturing moments in stark contrast. It strips away the nuances, leaving behind a clarity that can be comforting. Yet, it's an incomplete portrayal of life's rich tapestry. Life, with its myriad shades of gray, is a symphony of complexities, emotions, and experiences. It's the vibrant hues that give depth to our existence, the subtle gradients that shape our understanding, and the colorful spectrum that makes every story uniquely human. While black and white may offer clarity, it's in embracing life's full spectrum that we truly appreciate its depth and beauty.
