My wife is. She will freeze on the spot at the sight of a six inch long dead earth worm on the path and dissolve into uncontrollable spasms and floods of tears. So she won't walk across to Castle Tioram. In fact she won't even look at the picture. So what is keeping my flickr friends from coming to this part of the world when they will so readily go to Skye and what for?
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Acabant'se la Segona Guerra Mundial, el regim feixista de Franco va temer (i per desgracia no fou així) una invasió aliada. Per això es fortificaren de punta a punta els Pirineus, amb una serie de fortificacions de formigó anomenades, amb "molta" imaginació, Linea P. Localment també s'ha conegut com Linea Gutierrez o Perez, potser com a broma.
Just sota Camprodon n'hi ha un sector força interessant. Hi ha diversos bunquers des del "Coll de Camprodon" seguint la carretera C38 fins al riu Ter en el punt on la plana desapareix del tot. Obviament, tot i "cedir" Camprodon, es un punt estrategic clau, ja que la carretera queda atrapada entre els cingles i el riu.
Aquest és un dels bunquers d'ametralladores que es troba més cap a dins del bosc.
A Martinet de Cerdanya es pot visitar un sector de la linea, el CR 53, al Cabiscol.

===============================================================
As the III Reich was losing World War II, their friends in the spanish fascist regime of Franco were afraid of an allied invasion (which never came, sadly). So they built a fortified line along the Pyrenees. It was much less impressive than the Maginot or Siegfried lines, but at least the mountains gave it a difficult terrain all arround. It was known as Linea P, "P-Line".
Just below Camprodon there is a quite interesting sector. There are several bunkers from the "Coll de Camprodon" following the C38 road to the river Ter at the point where the plain disappears completely. Obviously, despite "yielding" Camprodon, it is a key strategic point, since the road is trapped between the cliffs and the river.
This is one several bunkers that could be found deeper in the forest, but still controling the road south of Camprodon.
In Martinet de Cerdanya, a sector of the line (the CR-53) is open to the public and restored.

Don't be afraid of change,
it is leading you to a
new beginning.

People are usually afraid of
change because they fear the unknown. But the single greatest constant of history is that everything changes.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
:::: Billie Eilish - Somewhere beyond the end ::: ...
I stare at the ceiling, think of places I might go
Is it fire or is it healing? Does anyone really know?
They say there’s light, they say there’s peace beyond the gate
But am I ready, or is it just too late?
I keep asking myself, who will I be?
When this flesh is gone, what’s left of me?
Would I float away, would I blend with the dark?
Or leave some trace, a silent mark?
Somewhere beyond the end, is there a place for all my sins?
For the secrets that I hold, the things I never told?
Will I find a piece of mind or drift with the lonely souls behind?
Somewhere beyond, somewhere beyond the end
I wonder who’d be waiting, faces from my past
Will they have answers, or questions to ask?
Or will I just be nothing, floating in the air
A whisper in a memory, just hanging there
I’m scared to look too close, to search too deep
Afraid of what’ll haunt me when I sleep
Will there be warmth, or will there just be cold?
When I let go, when I lose control
If I could speak to my soul, what would I say?
Would I forgive, would I push it away?
Am I worth the peace, am I worth the light?
Or will I wander in the endless night?
So I’ll keep my secrets, locked up tight
Maybe they’ll follow me, into that endless night
And when I’m gone, I hope I’ll see
If there’s a space, even for me
I'm afraid I'll have to stretch out the series about my trip to Thailand a bit. Because even though I haven't shared so many beautiful pictures yet, I'm also taking a lot of new ones here at home.
Like this one, for example, from a forest on the edge of Sebnitz in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. This photo is already two weeks old, and the forest has already changed drastically. The seasons simply can't be stopped.
While the leaves have already reached their peak, we're still in the early stages here.
So, lets try to catch up now.
Ich befürchte, dass ich die Serie zu meiner Thailandreise etwas strecken muss. Denn obwohl ich noch so viele schöne Bilder nicht gezeigt habe, entstehen hier zu Hause auch gerade eine Menge neue.
Wie zum Beispiel dieses hier, aus einem Wald am Rande von Sebnitz im Elbsandsteingebirge. Dieses Foto ist nun auch schon wieder zwei Wochen alt und der Wald hat sich zwischenzeitlich schon wieder drastisch verändert. Der Lauf der Jahreszeiten lässt sich eben nicht aufhalten.
Während die Laubfärbung zwischenzeitlich schon ihren Höhepunkt erreicht hat, befinden wir uns hier noch in der Anfangsphase.
Also, dann werden wir mal versuchen den Rückstand wieder aufzuholen.
Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.

I needed this message today because I question my abilities and don't move forward. Lucky for me I have some awesome cheerleaders in my life who help challenge me to stretch and push myself to try new things. Played with some texturing today and spent too much time but it had to be done.
Thanks to everyone for visits , comments , awards and invitations, I appreciate your feed-back very much
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

As I mentioned earlier my wife is afraid of heights so I figured I would help her overcome this fear ! Needless to say it was not a good idea, she was not amused and I could tell by the look in her eyes she was tempted to remove my fingers from the post. :-)))
Hope all of you have a great weekend !
im afraid there may be a few of these !!
the sky was awesome tonight , i couldn`t stop takin pics :)
this set were all taken in about half an hr , changing colour every minute,
most of these shots are not altered , and the ones that are didn`t need much . the sky did its own editing tonight :)
I haven't seen the sunrise in several days, now, so I've been anxious to go regardless of the conditions. Today, I made it to Pittock Mansion to see a small fog layer behind the city. Soon after I arrived, a few photographers joined me to capture the sunrise. Unfortunately, a heavy fog layer rolled in from the North-East and blocked our view just before sunrise. I took this time to practice some other landscape shots until I finally found myself in the foggy forest. A short climb later I set up my tripod, wedged between 2 or 3 trees, and walked across the mossy log. By setting my camera on the time-lapse function, I was able to take photos every couple seconds while I got into position. I'll definitely have to try this spot out again when it's foggy enough.
Lightroom:
Increased clarity, Small increase to detail, contrast, exposure, highlights and whites.

I haven't always been this way
I wasn't born a renegade
I felt alone, still feel afraid
I stumble through it anyway
I wish someone would've told me that this life is ours to choose
No one's handing you the keys or a book with all the rules
The little that I know I'll tell to you
When they dress you up in lies, and you're left naked with the truth
You throw your head back
And you spit in the wind
Let the walls crack
'Cause it lets the light in
Let 'em drag you through hell
They can't tell you to change who you are
(That's all I know so far)
And when the storm's out
You'll run in the rain
Put your sword down
Dive right into the pain
Stay unfiltered and loud
You'll be proud of that skin full of scars
That's all I know so far
That's all I know so far
So you might give yourself away, yeah
And pay full price for each mistake
But when the candy coating hides the razor blade
You can cut yourself loose and use that rage
I wish someone would've told me that this darkness comes and goes
People will pretend, but baby girl, nobody knows
And even I can't teach you how to fly
But I can show you how to live like your life is on the line
You throw your head back
And you spit in the wind
Let the walls crack
'Cause it lets the light in
Let 'em drag you through hell
They can't tell you to change who you are
(That's all I know so far)
And when the storm's out
You'll run in the rain
Put your sword down
Dive right into the pain
Stay unfiltered and loud
You'll be proud of that skin full of scars
That's all I know so far
That's all I know, that's all I know so far
That's all I know, that's all I know so far
That's all I know, that's all I know so far
That's all I know, that's all I know so far
I will be with you 'til the world blows up, yes
Up and down and through 'til the world blows up, yeah
When it's right or it's all fucked up
'Til the world blows up, 'til the world blows up
And we will be enough
And until the world blows up
Just throw your head back
And spit in the wind
Let the walls crack
'Cause it lets the light in
Let 'em drag you through hell
They can't tell you to change who you are
And when the storm's out
You'll run in the rain
Put your sword down
Dive right into the pain
Stay unfiltered and loud
You'll be proud of that skin full of scars
That's all I know so far
and I'm afraid you'll have to see a few too many shots of the birds.
Low and behold, this never happened to me before (unless I can't remember). Unfortunately my backyard has gotten away from me with my bad health, and there is a tall weed just covered with seeds. Well ...
last week, in flies a scurry of birds. Ran for my binoculars and camera and look. A beautiful male House Finch (we're just starting with him). I used to have them in God's backyard garden when I first got here and had tons of feeders up. But not for a long, long time.
There was such a flurry of activity, and they were all pigging out on the fresh, natural seeds! It was awesome.
Shot through my dirty backdoor, unfortunately, but I was afraid to go outside and possibly frighten them away. Oh my ... I enjoyed this little Creation adventure in my backyard. Thank You, Jesus.
Sorry for you, but more shots to follow!
