We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart throbs.
He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
[Aristotles]

This is work in progress. I am reflecting on the body as a spatial entity, the photographer's body, i.e. my own body, in particular (here represented by and measured in, Fujifilm boxes). The body interacts with the world by its sheer physicality (e.g. air displacement, foot pressure) even before our mind perceives, thinks and acts in the world. Therefore, the body already (and not just the mind) has agency. Photographically speaking, I need to reassess the "surface" of the body.
Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Pier 4 Park is a 2.4 hectare park found in the west-end of Hamilton Harbour near Bay Street North in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
The park features a multi-use asphalt trail, 349 metres in length and 4 metres wide which provides barrier-free access to all areas of the park and linkages with the surrounding harbourfront precinct.[1] A total of $2.2 million has been invested for the redevelopment of the park which includes a 24-metre tugboat which acts as the centrepiece of an interactive water play area for children. A dramatically curved lookout pier includes a protected sun shelter and benches to view the marinas, parkland and vistas of the surrounding Bay.
In addition Hamilton Harbour Commissioners (HHC) have constructed Hamilton Pier which provides 0.4 hectares of additional parkland and fish habitat.
De 7103 raakte in 2008 dermate beschadigd aan de aandrijving dat transport over het spoor niet meer mogelijk was. Daarom werd de loc op 9 september 2008 op de losweg van Acht met behulp van een telekraan ontdaan van zijn draaistellen. Deze werden per transport afgevoerd voor herstel. De loc zelf heeft hier enige tijd zo gestaan in Acht.

The windmill isnt part of the wetland centre but adds interest. Maybe the windmill acts as a reference point that the geese look out for when reaching their destination on the long journey south from Iceland? Taken from the reedbed walk!

Gravitationally Lensed Galaxy Cluster
By ESA/HUBBLE MAY 7, 2023
TOPICS: Astronomy Astrophysics "European Space Agency" "Gravitational Lensing" "Hubble Space Telescope"
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of a massive galaxy cluster, eMACS J1823.1+7822, that offers insights into dark matter distribution and acts as a natural telescope to study distant objects. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, H. Ebeling
This Hubble Space Telescope image reveals a massive galaxy cluster, eMACS J1823.1+7822, located nine billion light-years away in the constellation Draco. Gravitational lensing caused by the cluster’s mass distorts background galaxies into streaks and arcs of light, offering insights into dark matter distribution.
A vast galaxy cluster lurks in the center of this image from the Hubble Space Telescope.
Like a submerged sea monster causing waves on the surface, this cosmic leviathan can be identified by the distortions in spacetime around it. The mass of the cluster has caused the images of background galaxies to be gravitationally lensed; the galaxy cluster has caused a sufficient curvature of spacetime to bend the path of light and cause background galaxies to appear distorted into streaks and arcs of light. A host of other galaxies can be seen surrounding the cluster, and a handful of foreground stars with tell-tale diffraction spikes are scattered throughout the image.

Try as I might, I couldn't ID this tiny mushroom even with four books and the internet. I really have to get more information in the field to help with this. OM 90mm at f8 or so.
The new immigration law in Arizona (SB-1070), that recently passed is one of the most shameful acts to pass in recent years. What most people believe will clean up the streets of illegal immigrants, is only a mask of its true intentions.
The law was written and created by Russell Pearce, a man with close ties to white supremacists and white nationalists, and who in 2006 forwarded emails from National Alliance, a white separatist group. The email was called "White Rules America" and criticized black and white intermixing as well as the Jews for promoting racial equality. This man, is also a Holocaust denier. He's also a close and personal friend of neo-nazi activists like J.T Ready. The assumption of this law is that it will only affect illegals and "clean up the streets of America". In reality, what is being done is bigoted, cruel and without a doubt, disgusting. This new law will only give the xenophobic and flat-out racists and reactionaries, the bump they need to harass private citizens and anyone they assume is not here legally. This will only lead to tragic consequences for those who don't look white.
Arizona state Governor Jan Brewer has stated that under this law racial profiling is prohibited, but let's get a dose of reality. That is EXACTLY what will happen. Behind the mask that it will serve a greater good and deter illegals from being there, the true motives behind this law is something purely racist and sinister. What the people behind this truly want is to slowly build up to an ethnic cleansing of America.
The architects behind this insanity, empower the worst kind of racists to go around and harass anyone who isn't white. If you don't believe or see that, I'm sorry for you. What we have is a law that potentially will cause the death of innocent people, Americans and illegals.
My father was born in Arizona, he is an American citizen who is also a first generation Mexican and first generation German. And yet, because he speaks, writes and reads in Spanish more fluently than in English, he's persecuted by slack-jawed yokels for not being white or American enough. He has been physically assaulted, spit on, verbally attacked and told to get his "wetback face" out of the country he was born in. This bill will only increase such outrageous cruelties. And although we're fortunate to live in California, that doesn't save anyone else. This law is to be a litmus test; to see if such a law can be passed in this country. If successful, the same architects behind SB1070 plan to push for similar laws in every state.
I've heard some ridiculous remarks about how wonderful this law is. Some by people I once assumed to be friends. These people, even after learning about the bigoted nature of the people who created this bill, don't care. They are so consumed by the idea that this backward law will rid them of illegals, that they forget so much. Most Americans who support SB1070 live outside Arizona. They are unaware of the fragile political reality in the border counties of Arizona. They are wholly unaware of the influence that white supremacist nativist groups in Arizona have had on this law's authorship. Because they only see the national headlines which have framed this law only has an anti-illegal immigration bill, they miss that the true goal is to silence non-white American citizens living in the border counties such as Pima and Maricopa so that a whites-only political fiefdom can be created here.
They fear that illegals are taking their jobs, jobs that they themselves often feel they're too good to perform themselves. Field workers survive daily in some of the most atrocious conditions every day. They risk limbs, their arms are scarred and ruined, fingers callused by picking fruits and vegetables by hand in weather that can get up to 116 degrees in some states.
This law was written by Fascists who will proudly terrorize these people. Terrorize my family, whose only sin is that they don't look white enough...that I don't look white enough. It's heartbreaking and sickening and my only hope is that more people will realize this and put an end to it.
Some people have said that carrying around papers to prove that you're a legal citizen isn't such a big deal. I'm sure a lot of Germans thought the same in 1935. As a good friend reminded me, "'Wo Ihre Papiere sind, Jude!'...sound familiar? No? Look it up.".
Many noted conservative and liberal political figures, including several figures in Arizona law enforcement are coming out against this law, opposing it, not just for being ineffective against ending illegal immigration, but for being blatantly racist, blatantly dangerous, and blatantly unamerican.
