«Let all the wounds of sorrow go to another dusk; let them hush in another mirror lake»
Odysseus Elytis, "Dionysus" (Orientations, 1940)
«Κι ας παν τα τραύματα της λύπης σ’ άλλο μούχρωμα – σ’ άλλον λιμναίο καθρέφτη να σωπάσουν»
Οδυσσέας Ελύτης, "Διόνυσος" (Προσανατολισμοί, 1940)

A solitary tree stands, with a large branch broken away after a storm. Natures own way of pruning the habitat.
In my life I have had a wound that is bleeding the wound I also had when I was in Libya where they sold me three times and shot me once the pain I feel inside is heavier than what I had in Libya.
Aboubala, Cso Django, Treviso 2021
A look at a copper solenoid (a coil of wire designed to produce a magnetic field when electric current is passed through it) seen perpendicular to the long axis of the device.
This solenoid was wound around a square frame, which gives rise to the sharp ‘cutoff’ at its top edge. The area of the coil in the photo is about an inch square. Straight outta the camera, except for a crop.
HMM!
P.S. From my end, Flickr is close to not being functional at all at this point. I can’t search, I can’t see my groups, and the notifications are hallucinating. I’m uploading this from my iPad using the (now unsupported) Photo Explorer app. So with this I’m going to sign off from Flickr until after the transition to Amazon Cloud is complete ...
... and hope for the best.
See you then.
capturing a butterfly
with a camera
makes a great metaphor
for freezing fleeting bursts
of magical moments
each flitter is a unique gesture
which passes in an instant
each flutter is a singular motion
which never comes back
Looking through my viewfinder while trying to capture this butterfly reminded me how important it is to live in the moment. It doesn’t matter how simple or insignificant that moment might seem to be. I know that within it lie incredible wonders, but which only my heart can see.
“We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds – the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to be compassionate and wise.”
–Caroline Myss
Wounded
“But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.”
~Kahlil Gibran

"They told me there would be skulls! Geez, what a misplaced name..."

Be sure to check out my Timelapse video :D

A creation inspired by one of my all time favorites. when I look back I wound up copying the layout as well as the idea, but I think my difference in style more than makes up for the similarities, plus the world can never have to many skull islands
I tried out tons of new things in this build, even so far as ordering a bunch of ninja turtle torsos, so I can stick little green hands everywhere for added effect to the foliage. I have a few closeups of neat things here:
Water - Fly traps - Bonzai - Rubber bands - Pillars 1 - Pillars 2 - Skull close up
Hope you enjoy it!
In honour of those fallen or wounded in any conflict

just in time for my (past) birthday, we had the terrifying surprise of a second, equally strong earthdquake... two big tremors, one in the evening, one at night (the heaviest) and many more aftershakes, getting weaker over the last two days.
How can I sum it up -- it is a big test for our nerves, my daughter this time very upset... we have to take each day at a time and thank for our stable studio situation, no more damage here... but all the other buidlings around have visibly suffered more, seen here the old house with its growing wound. The heybarn in worse shape, can we still get to our firewood? Hopefully we can move to another house close by very soon... the studio can be visited from there without problems. Preparing for the big fair in Hamburg, 2 weeks left... art is therapy! more than ever...

This photograph shows blossom in different stages of emerging from a Prunus x Cistena cherry tree growing in my garden in South Wales.
It was taken a few hours after I received my first dose of the covid-19 vaccine in April 2021, just as my shoulder was beginning to ache, making it a little uncomfortable to capture the image while holding the camera without a tripod.
The most prominent flower in the photograph had a petal that had been damaged by the wind. The red spot on that petal resembled a tiny pinprick of blood, reminding me again of my aching shoulder, but also giving me the title of the image - "Wounded Blossom".
“Nothing else wounds so deeply and irreparably. Nothing else robs us of hope so much as being unloved by one we love”
