Is this too dark? Looked ok on my Mac and on my phone... but much darker on computer at Internet cafe. Will check out all your uploads I've missed when I get back to the city... too difficult and no time to do here at beach on phone. Thanks for your visits everyone :)
...both literal and imagined, shape our lives in profound ways. Some stand tall before us—walls of stone, locked doors, oceans vast and uncrossable—physical limits we can see and touch. These barriers are real and immediate, either protecting or limiting. With the right tools, time, or assistance, many physical obstacles can be dismantled, climbed, or circumnavigated. The effort may be great, but the path is clear.
But then there are the barriers we cannot see—the ones we construct in the deep recesses of our minds. These imagined walls are far more complex, woven from threads of fear, doubt, and insecurity. They do not require brick or mortar; they need only the power of our thoughts to stand firm. Unlike physical barriers, which others can see and help us break, these mental constructs are invisible to the outside world. No one knows the depth of our inner struggle, the quiet battle between desire and dread, ambition and hesitation.
Imagined barriers are insidious because they feel just as real as the tangible ones. They whisper that we're not good enough, not capable, not worthy. Or they keep us in fear or resentment of those different from us. And while physical obstacles may tire the body, these internal walls exhaust the soul, trapping us in a maze of our own making. The worst part? Often, we don’t even realize we’ve built them.
Recognizing that these barriers are self-imposed is the first step toward dismantling them. Just as we learn to climb a hill or break through a fence, we can teach ourselves to break through the limits of our minds. Courage is the tool. For every imagined wall, there is a doorway waiting to be found—if only we dare to look for it.
Ultimately, both kinds of barriers test us. Physical walls challenge our strength; mental ones challenge our spirit. But in overcoming either, we find the same reward: the freedom to move forward, unhindered, toward a world without limits.

Île-de-Bréhat est située dans le département des Côtes-d'Armor au nord de la pointe de l'Arcouest en Bretagne. Elle est constituée de l'archipel de Bréhat, qui doit son nom à l'île principale, dénommée Bréhat, dont le nom breton est Enez Vriad.

One of the few things we can see from space that is underwater: the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of south east Australia. The underwater world is similar to space, there are many scientific mysteries that we are exploring slowly, but there is one thing is very different: there is no life in the vacuum of space whereas our oceans are teeming with it! The Great Barrier Reef is a living structure in its own right… but it too is suffering from climate change. The organisms that are a source of food for the corals – and give them their colour – are dying due to the increased sea temperatures. As they die the corals turn white in the process, a phenomenon called coral-bleaching. This is just the first domino in an effect that could wipe out ecosystems along coastlines. Thanks to Earth observation satellites though researchers can track and monitor the health of coral reefs globally, continuously and immediately. It allows people to concentrate conservation efforts on areas that are particularly at risk, as some reefs are more resilient than others. In the face of this emergency it is not the data that we are missing (in fact European Copernicus data is available for free) but the people needed to analyse it and action on ground to focus our efforts and save these amazing ecological areas.
Une des rares structures sous-marines qu’on peut voir à l’œil nu depuis la Station : la Grande Barrière de Corail, qui s’étire en vertèbres à l’est de l’Australie. 🇦🇺 Le monde sous-marin est le pendant de l’espace à bien des égards – environnement inhospitalier mais qu’on arrive peu à peu à explorer, nombreux mystères scientifiques toujours pas élucidés, deux mondes du silence… Avec une différence majeure : pas de vie dans le vide de l’espace, alors que les océans en regorgent de toutes formes. La Grande Barrière est en fait une véritable structure vivante... et elle fait déjà les frais du réchauffement climatique : les micro-algues, qui donnent leur couleur aux coraux mais surtout leur fournissent les nutriments dont ils ont besoin pour vivre, sont expulsés sous l’effet de la hausse des températures des océans. Et ce blanchiment, s’il n’est pas inversé rapidement, c’est le premier domino qui tombe. Au final : disparition de la biodiversité, donc des ressources pour la pêche, disparition d’une protection naturelle pour les littoraux, effondrement du tourisme, etc. Grâce aux données des satellites d’observation de la Terre, on peut désormais cartographier et évaluer l’état de santé des récifs coralliens de manière globale et en temps réel, plutôt qu’au compte-gouttes. Ça permet de focaliser les efforts là où il faut – certains récifs coralliens sont résilients, d’autres non. Devant l’urgence ce ne sont pas les données qui manquent (et celles du programme européen Copernicus sont d’ailleurs mises à disposition gratuitement), mais plutôt le temps et les personnes disponibles pour les traiter 🚨

There is a line of seagulls on the posts in the distance which are surprisingly very clear when zoomed up on the RAW file.

I liked the graphic quality of this industrial scene.
