“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”
- Lao Tzu-
Psalm 20
The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
Psl 21

For today's get away, a visit to Silverton, a town of around 50 people in the far west of New South Wales. The first time I visited Silverton this street was filled with double parked tourist coaches; my photo was a disaster. The next time I made it my business to be there before the coaches arrived, and even before the hotel opened.
In 1875, two men drilling a well south of the town site hit a lode of silver. Miners flooded in and Silverton was born. By 1890 the town had 3,000 inhabitants, but the high grade ore was soon depleted, and the population drifted away. Most people moved to nearby Broken Hill where an even richer silver-lead-zinc ore body was discovered.
There is a lot more to Silverton than this iconic street. There is a community of artists, mostly attracted by the colour of the country and the vibrant light. There are museums, historic buildings, ruins of houses and a church, several restaurants and some friendly donkeys who will accept handouts from anybody willing to feed them.
The tourist coaches bring visitors to have a beer at the iconic pub, it's been in quite a few movies and commercials, and then turn them loose to buy souvenirs and food from the local businesses.
War is never accepted !

So much suffering and so unjust...Millions of people on the run.

Plant and they will come!
This is just a record shot (I'd have liked to have gotten more of the wing in focus), as she wasn't for staying still, of the first common blue butterfly to visit my garden last year, after I planted bird's foot trefoil for my 'resident' leafcutter bees, and to attract common blue butterflies.
I was thrilled to watch her lay lots of eggs, which you can see her doing in this photo, all over the bird's foot trefoil ... and what amazing little structures the eggs are too---that's tomorrow's upload!
If flowers had personalities, how would you describe how they feel? For some reason this one seems kind of "accepting". Like here I am, a weed by the side of the road, but I'm happy and that's enough for me I accept my lot in life.
Speaking of lots, did you know Mariah Carey's hubby gave her title deeds for a lot of land as a present last Christmas? When she opened it she said ...... I don't want a lot for Christmas ...

First, please accept my apologies for the poor quality of this image. That said, I thought that it may be of interest to some. The date is Aug. 25, 1973 and we are in the Solite Corp. plant near Arvonia, VA on C&O's Dillwyn Branch, now the Buckingham Branch RR. The plant heated slate to make light weight aggregate. Slate pops like popcorn when heated. The result is a light weight aggregate that maintains its strength, while reducing the weight. It is most commonly used to make light weight concrete block. One kiln can be seen in the background, and if I recall correctly, there were three. My guess is that they shipped 10-20 cars a day. Note the conductor, waybills stuffed in his back pocket, conversing with a plant employee. A search on Google Maps indicates that there is little, if anything left of the plant today.
Today's forms of money have developed from primitive money, e.g. B. mussels or rice, which were accepted as a means of exchange in business life. Money initially belonged to the cultic and legal sphere and referred to "that with which one can repay or pay penance and sacrifices". Only after the 14th century did it assume its current meaning as a "coined currency". From the middle of the 19th century, the gold standard existed in many countries, promising the exchange of legal tender (coins, banknotes) for a fixed amount of gold. By the 1930s almost all major states had abandoned the gold standard. Instead of such a standard, monetary policy measures were taken by the central banks to ensure price stability.
Partial excerpt from: (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geld#Etymologie)
Geld, auch benannt als:
Cash (englisch für „Bargeld“)
Kies (jiddisch kis, „Geldbeutel“)
Mäuse (jiddisch meus, „Geld“)
Moneten (lateinisch moneta, „Münze“; vgl. engl. money)
Moos (jiddisch und rotwelsch moos, mous (Plural), „Geld“)
Penunze (berlinisch Penunse, von polnisch pieniądze, aus dem Westgermanischen, verwandt mit althochdeutsch pfenning)
Zaster (rotwelsch saster, „Eisen“)
Kohle
Asche
Pulver (gemeint ist Zündpulver; vgl. sein Geld verpulvern, veraltet: verzünden)
Kröten, Mücken
Entwickelt haben sich die heutigen Geldformen aus Primitivgeld, z. B. Muscheln oder Reis, die im Geschäftsleben als Tauschmittel akzeptiert wurden. Geld gehörte anfangs zur kultischen und rechtlichen Sphäre und bezeichnete „das, womit man Buße und Opfer erstatten bzw. entrichten kann“. Erst nach dem 14. Jahrhundert nahm es seine aktuelle Bedeutung als „geprägtes Zahlungsmittel“ an. Ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts existierte in vielen Ländern der Goldstandard, bei dem der Umtausch von gesetzlichen Zahlungsmitteln (Münzen, Banknoten) in eine feststehende Menge Gold versprochen wurde. Um 1930 haben fast alle größeren Staaten den Goldstandard aufgegeben. An die Stelle eines solchen Standards traten geldpolitische Maßnahmen der Notenbanken, die eine Preisniveaustabilität sicherstellen sollten.

After I finished adding the fender washer and wood extension collar, the Chickadees returned. I was unsure if they'd use the box again since I'd done the work with eggs inside, but after a careful inspection, they did.
10-12 years of waiting on a list to have a Trabant. Or 40 years of a different kind of waiting that seemed an infinity. 60 years ago, DDR’s motorized dream started to spread all over the streets. And then again, another river of Trabis, along the Berlin Wall, streaming through the Charlie Checkpoint, taking home the East German citizens after a 40 years trip into a dimension where everything was immovable.
Truth is, the Trabant broke through the proverbial wall long before it crossed into West Berlin. Also called a “spark plug with a roof”, the Trabant is a s y m b o l of a nation who knew how to go beyond. Not only was its body built of recycled materials, but it could run on whiskey, cooking oil or virtually whatever else could burn. The main problem with the engine was the smoky exhaust and the pollution it produced. A reunified Germany discovered that this smoky box-shaped car, whose rasping engine emitted noxious clouds of blue exhaust, was impossible to recycle or dispose of because the Duroplast fails to compress, incinerated gives off toxic fumes and leaches chemicals if buried. What has never been a problem for East German engineers was now a problem for German engineers. (Apparently, it can be shredded, mixed with concrete to render the chemicals inert and pressed into building bricks, though has never been accomplished on a significant scale.)
Made of nothing + lots of imagination, the Trabi disappeared in its own smoke, swallowed by progress and history. The Trabi has vanished but it’s more alive than ever, brought back to life by the fans of the cult car, rescued, restored and transformed by the worldwide enthusiasts. Cuz if in the East was cancelled, crushed and rejected, in the West was wanted, valued and accepted.

Flor de fruta - Sept 9 2020-2 - TS2 LR
This Monochrome Springtime view of the T&M Canal looking East from Willington Wharf, was photographed using an old Cokin Resin Infra Red Filter (Wratten No: 89B) that I had cut down to fit an slim-fit 58mm Screw Filter Holder. The reason for adapting this filter, was due to previous experience revealing the inadequacies of slot-in filters where long exposures are required, they leak too much light! It worked a treat.
If you wish to try out this type of photography, you will need a camera where the lens accepts screw filters, usually any camera with a Manual Mode setting and shutter speed capability in excess of 1 second, if you need an exposure longer than 1 minute, you will also need a Cable Release and Lastly a suitable Tripod. Amazingly my modern Lumix G80 was still able to give a reasonably accurate metered exposure level with this almost black filter in place. but what is unlikely to operate, is the Auto-Focus facility, switch to manual focus, this needs to be done prior to attaching the filter, also you need to bear in mind, that IR light focuses at a different point to the normal spectrum, so a slight adjustment (1-2mm) to the left on the focus ring once you have found your optical focus point, should do the trick. As IR filters are a very dark red colour, this will only work with with a Mono conversion. If You wish to do colour, then you will need a specially converted camera.
Mt. Sneffels, Ouray, CO
Excited to say that this image of mine has been accepted into my 3rd photo show. This show's theme is "Evoke". Hoping to have some luck with this black and white image as a 20x30 metal print.
I shot this image while on a Thanksgiving trip down to Ouray and Telluride. My fiancé and I were on our way back from Telluride and we stopped along the Dallas Divide. The clouds were rolling across the Sneffels range and I waited about 25 minutes for the light to finally pop through and illuminate this gorgeous peak.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
After a gloomy overcast day with snow flurries we got a slight view of sunlight coming through a crack on the western horizon and we where treated to a bit of color and a nice sun pillar.

Templo de Apolo - Delfos - Grecia
Las ruinas del Templo de Apolo en Delfos, que se remontan al siglo IV a. C., pertenecen a un templo dórico periptero. Fue edificado sobre los restos de un templo anterior, fechado en el siglo VI a. C., que a su vez fue erigido en el emplazamiento de otro del siglo VII a. C. Su construcción se atribuye a los arquitectos Trofonio y Agamedes.
En el siglo VI a. C. era conocido como el «Templo de los Alcmeónidas», en tributo a la familia ateniense que financió su reconstrucción después de un incendio que destruyó su estructura original. [El templo fue destruido tras la invasión persa del 487 a. C ]
El nuevo edificio fue un templo de estilo dórico hexástilo de 6 x 15 columnas. Fue destruido en el año 373 a. C. Las esculturas del frontón son atribuidas a Praxias y Andróstenes, atenienses. De una proporción similar, en el segundo templo se mantuvo el patrón 6 x 15 columnas en el estilobato.1 Dentro estaba el ádyton, el centro del oráculo de Delfos y el asiento de la Pitia. El monumento fue restaurado en parte en 1938.
Sobrevivió hasta el 390, año en el que el emperador cristiano, Teodosio I, silenció el oráculo con la destrucción del templo y la mayor.

Temple of Apollo - Delphi - Greece
The Temple of Apollo, god of music, harmony, light, healing, and oracles occupied the most important and prominent position in the Delphic Panhellenic Sanctuary. The edifice with the partially restored colonnade visible today dates to the 4th century BC; it is the third temple built at the same place. The famous oracle, the Pythia, operated inside the temple, the location chosen, according to one tradition, due to a sacred chasm beneath the site emitting vapors, which were inhaled by the Pythia. Some ancient writers state that the Pythia then entered a state of delirium and uttering inarticulate cries, which were then turned into equivocal oracles by the priests.[1] This interpretation is controversial, and has been challenged by scholars such as Joseph Fontenrose and Lisa Maurizio, who argue that the ancient sources uniformly represent the Pythia speaking intelligibly, and giving prophecies in her own voice.
The Sphinx of the Naxians (560 BCE) was located next to the Temple of Apollo.
The history of the temple was related by Pausanias in his Description of Greece of the 2nd century CE:
They say that the most ancient temple of Apollo was made of laurel, the branches of which were brought from the laurel in Temple. This temple must have had the form of a hut. The Delphians say that the second temple was made by bees from bees-wax and feathers, and that it was sent to the Hyperboreans by Apollo.
Another story is current, that the temple was set up by a Delphian, whose name was Pteras, and so the temple received its name from the builder… The story that the temple was built of the fern (pteris) that grows on the mountains, by interweaving fresh stalks of it, I do not accept at all.
It is no wonder that the third temple was made of bronze, seeing that Acrisios made a bedchamber of bronze for his daughter, the Lacedaemonians still possess a sanctuary of Athena of the Bronze House, and the Roman forum, a marvel for its size and style, possesses a roof of bronze. So it would not be unlikely that a temple of bronze was made for Apollo…
The fourth temple was made by Trophonius and Agamedes; the tradition is that it was made of stone. It was burnt down in the archonship of Erxicleides at Athens, in the first year of the fifty-eighth Olympiad (548/47), when Diognetus of Crotona was victorious. The modern temple was built for the god by the Amphictyons from the sacred treasures, and the architect was one Spintharus of Corinth.

The Timna Valley is located in southern Israel in the southwestern Arabah, approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of the Gulf of Aqaba and the town of Eilat. The area is rich in copper ore and has been mined since the 5th millennium BCE. There is controversy whether the mines were active during the Kingdom of Israel and the biblical King Solomon.[1]
A large section of the valley, containing ancient remnants of copper mining and ancient worship, is encompassed in a recreation park.
In July 2011, the Israeli government approved the construction of an international airport, the Timna Airport, in the Timna valley.
Copper mining[edit]
Copper has been mined in the area since the 5th or 6th millennium BCE.[3] Archaeological excavation indicates that the copper mines in Timna Valley were probably part of the Kingdom of Edom and worked by the Edomites, described as biblical foes of the Israelites,[4] during the 10th century BCE, the period of the legendary King Solomon.[5] Mining continued by the Israelites and Nabateans through to the Roman period and the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, and then by the Ummayads from the Arabian Peninsula after the Arab conquest (in the 7th century CE) until the copper ore became scarce.[6]
The copper was used for ornaments, but more importantly for stone cutting, as saws, in conjunction with sand.[7]
The recent excavations dating copper mining to the 10th century BCE also discovered what may be the earliest camel bones with signs of domestication found in Israel or even outside the Arabian peninsula, dating to around 930 BCE. This is seen as evidence by the excavators that the stories of Abraham, Joseph, Jacob and Esau were written or rewritten after this time seeing that the Biblical books frequently reference traveling with caravans of domesticated camels.[8]
Modern history
Scientific attention and public interest was aroused in the 1930s, when Nelson Glueck attributed the copper mining at Timna to King Solomon (10th century BCE) and named the site "King Solomon's Mines". These were considered by most archaeologists to be earlier than the Solomonic period until an archaeological excavation led by Erez Ben-Yosef of Tel Aviv University's found evidence indicating that this area was being mined by Edomites, a group who the Bible says were frequently at war with Israel.[10][11]
In 1959, Professor Beno Rothenberg, director of the Institute for Archeo-Metallurgical Studies at University College, London, led the Arabah Expedition, sponsored by the Eretz Israel Museum, and the Tel Aviv University Institute of Archaeology. The expedition included a deep excavation of Timna Valley, and by 1990 he discovered 10,000 copper mines and smelting camps with furnaces, rock drawings, geological features, shrines, temples, an Egyptian mining sanctuary, jewelry, and other artifacts never before found anywhere in the world.[12] His excavation and restoration of the area allowed for the reconstruction of Timna Valley’s long and complex history of copper production, from the Late Neolithic period to the Middle Ages.[13]
The modern state of Israel also began mining copper on the eastern edge of the valley in 1955, but ceased in 1976. The mine was reopened in 1980. The mine was named Timnah after a Biblical chief.
Geological features
Timna Valley is notable for its uncommon stone formations and sand. Although predominantly red, the sand can be yellow, orange, grey, dark brown, or black. Light green or blue sand occurs near the copper mines. Water and wind erosion have created several unusual formations that are only found in similar climates.
Solomon's Pillars
The most striking and well-known formation in Timna Valley are Solomon's Pillars. The pillars are natural structures that were formed by centuries of water erosion through fractures in the sandstone cliff until it became a series of distinct, pillar-shaped structures.[6]
American archaeologist Nelson Glueck caused a surge of attention for the pillars in the 1930s. He claimed that the pillars were related to King Solomon and gave them the name "Solomon's Pillars".[citation needed] Although his hypothesis lacked support and has not been accepted, the name stuck, and the claim gave the valley the attention that helped bring about the excavations and current national park.
The pillars are known as the backdrop for evening concerts and dance performances the park presents in the summer.[15]
Mushroom
The Mushroom is an unusual monolithic, mushroom-shaped, red sandstone rock formation known as a hoodoo. The mushroom shape was caused by wind, humidity, and water erosion over centuries.[15] The Mushroom is surrounded by copper ore smelting sites from between the 14th and 12th centuries BCE.[6]
Arches[edit]
The Arches are natural arches formed by erosion, as well, and can be seen along the western cliff of the valley. Arches are not as rare as Solomon's Pillars and the Mushroom, and similar structures can be found in elsewhere in the world. The walking trail that goes to the Arches also goes past the copper mine shafts.[6]

Pams Work
paying attention to the present moment in an accepting, nonjudgmental way
Come in to bed
Switch off the lights
Close your eyes, sleep tonight
Think of all the things we did today You touch me then, we fall apart
I lose control, the hardest part
I wish there it could be another way Losing, i'm losing
I'm losing my mind
Ruining, i'm ruining
You're ruining my mind
You cut me deep like broken glass
I wonder when this time will pass
Or will i fall asunder everyday Sitting here beside the fire
The flames they grow just like desire
Will i fall asunder everyday
Losing, i'm losing
I'm losing my mind
Ruining, i'm ruining
You're ruining my mind

The infamous "McRae film" connected with the Loch Ness Monster was supposedly shot as a close-up of not only "Nessie" in its habitat of Loch Ness, but a second film allegedly shows a similar animal in Loch Duich. Both films are, according to most sources, held in a secret trust, and few people have seen either film. It is still a mystery as to whether the films exist at all, but are accepted by several Loch Ness researchers.

Perhaps, the fact that this is during Easter sunrise service on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the image conveys in a more chaste manner what other couples might do on Spring Break.
