****Be Kind To Other People ****

I recently visited Yosemite National Park for 1.5 days around Labor Day and although astrophotography wasn’t originally high on my list of things to-do, the conditions were just too good to pass up that day. This was prime summer Milky Way season and it was to be visible at a reasonable time just a few hours after sunset. Being in Yosemite we were also away from most city light pollution, the waxing crescent moon would be setting not too long after sunset to avoid too much additional light yet be just bright enough to help illuminate El Capitan and other parts of the valley, and the forecast was for perfectly cloudless skies.
As a novice to astrology, I knew I had captured a part of the Milky Way, but it wasn’t until after coming home and doing more research that I realized that bright dot with a swirl around it near the middle of the picture was probably not a planet, but actually the Andromeda Galaxy, the next closest major galaxy to the Milky Way at 2.5 million light years away. Unfortunately, the streaking line was likely not the International Space Station, as it would not have been passing over Yosemite at that time, so my best guess is a satellite or meteorite.
With cars passing through the valley and in the parking lot helping to illuminate the trees, it was quite amazing to capture all these different components plus two different galaxies over an iconic location in a single shot. I guess the moral of the story is even if you’re tired and hungry, get out and shoot and who knows what kind of shot you might get :)
(Milvus milvus) Just blew the whites in the wing but it couldn't be helped..... I like the pose anyway!

THEY may be widespread and rather nondescript, streaked brown bird, but I have a real affection for them, as a ground-dwelling species, it is quite approachable with care. Feeds on invertebrates as seen, a bit harder in the capture in the winter when they often form loose flocks.

The Mekong Delta (Vietnamese: Đồng bằng Sông Cửu Long "Nine Dragon river delta"), also known as the Western Region (Vietnamese: Miền Tây) or the South-western region (Vietnamese: Tây Nam Bộ) is the region in southwestern Vietnam where the Mekong River approaches and empties into the sea through a network of distributaries. The Mekong delta region encompasses a large portion of southwestern Vietnam of 39,000 square kilometres (15,000 sq mi). The size of the area covered by water depends on the season.
The Mekong Delta has been dubbed as a "biological treasure trove". Over 1,000 animal species were recorded between 1997 and 2007 and new species of plants, fish, lizards, and mammals has been discovered in previously unexplored areas, including the Laotian rock rat, thought to be extinct.
Just how beautiful life can be
When one allows her to breathe
Let the children have their chance to see
Just how beautiful life can be

"Marijuana has never been proven to have killed a single person, through over-dose or illness, in 5000 years of recorded history while, in the next hour, approximately 50 Americans will die from a tobacco related illness."

There are so many people out there hurt by the drug war, on so many levels, but there are far more people out there who bought into the government's lies and drug war; and they treated people like shit for their drug use; they ostracized people for their drug use - and now they have to admit that not only were they wrong, but that there was no moral rationalization for their behavior, and that the truth was always out there but they chose to believe the government over their family and friends; they chose the government over love and compassion.
Asshole simpleton sheeple.

I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night,
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright.
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war,
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more...

Yo voy soñando caminos - Alberto Cortez
Yo voy soñando caminos de la tarde
las colinas doradas los verdes pinos y las encinas........
¿Adonde el el camino ira?
¿Adonde el el camino ira?
Yo voy cantando viajero a lo largo del sendero.....
La tarde cayendo esta
La tarde cayendo esta
En el corazón tenia la espina de una pasión
Logre arranármela un día
Ya no siento el corazón y todo el campo un momento, se queda mudo y sombrío.
Meditando
suena el viento en los álamos del rio
La tarde más oscurece y el camino serpentea
y débilmente blanquea
se enturbia y desaparece...........
Adonde el camino ira
Adonde el camino ira............
Antonio Machado.

CANAL de CAMPOS
Al calor de la construcción del Canal de Castilla se vio la necesidad de revitalizar demográficamente el recorrido. Fue Carlos IV quien ordeno la creación de once nuevas poblaciones, algunas sobre algún despoblado anterior. De entre estos nuevos poblados uno fue Sahagún el Real, originalmente conocido como San Fernando, que acabó recibiendo el nombre de Sahagún el Real o el Viejo. Hoy recibe el topónimo de Casas del Rey .
Se levanto un nuevo poblado incluso con iglesia hoy ermita, además de almacenes, un mesón, y algunas instalaciones auxiliares del Canal como la Casa del Fiel y uno de los más importantes embarcaderos de todo el trazado.

I am resilient
I trust the movement
I negate the chaos
uplift the negative
I'll show up at the table
again and again and again
I'll close my mouth and learn to listen
woah woah ooh ooh
these times are poignant
the winds have shifted
it's all we can do
to stay uplifted
pipelines through backyards
wolves howlin out front
yeah, I got my crew but truth is what I want
realigned and on point
power to the peaceful
prayers to the waters
women at the center
all vessels open
to give and receive
let's see the system
brought down to its knees
woah woah ooh ooh
I'm made of thunder
I'm made of lightning
I'm made of dirt yeah
made of the fine things
my father taught me that I'm a speck of dust
and this world was made for me
so let's go and try our luck
I got my roots down, down deep
So what are we doing here?
what has been done?
what are you gonna do about it
when the world comes undone?
my voice feels tiny
and I'm sure so does yours
but put us all together
make a mighty roar
roar

Happy Saturday
Hello dear friends.
I´m on my feet again , slowly , slowly, I'll be back.
A lot of training right now, and it's hard to sit at the computer.
But I'm glad that finally I'll soon have two healthy knees to go with it.
Thanks for all the encouraging greetings.
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

shall be one of the most photographed houses in northern Germany.
It is one of the most coveted real estate jewels in the republic, because the location on a nature reserve - three meters from the Baltic Sea, is really unique!
Das blaue Haus von meinem vorherigen Foto - soll eines der meistfotografierten Häuser Norddeutschlands sein.
Es gehört zu den begehrtesten Immobilienjuwelen der Republik, denn die Lage an einem Naturschutzgebiet – drei Meter von der Ostsee entfernt, ist schon einmalig!
Never be in a hurry: do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.
Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even
if your whole world seems upset.

... I've cried many rivers
I've walked through some pain
I've seen my world crumble
And I carry the shame
But I know somebody,
He calls me His own
I can hear Heaven singing out
Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone
(Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone) no, no, no, no, no
Oh, I may have took some time
But now I realize
That my imperfections were a part of Your plan
And if all things work together in the end
The broken will be beautiful...

Evening Walk
by Charles Simic
You give the appearance of listening
To my thoughts, O trees,
Bent over the road I am walking
On a late summer evening
When every one of you is a steep staircase
The night is slowly descending.
The high leaves like my mother’s lips
Forever trembling, unable to decide,
For there’s a bit of wind,
And it’s like hearing voices,
Or a mouth full of muffled laughter,
A huge dark mouth we can all fit in
Suddenly covered by a hand.
Everything quiet. Light
Of some other evening strolling ahead,
Long-ago evening of silk dresses,
Bare feet, hair unpinned and falling.
Happy heart, what heavy steps you take
As you follow after them in the shadows.
The sky at the road’s end cloudless and blue.
The night birds like children
Who won’t come to dinner.
Lost children in the darkening woods.

This will be the day
That you will hear me say
That I will never run away
I am here for you
Love is meant for two
Now tell me what u're gonna do
If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love
Which one of us is right
If we always fight
Why can't we just let love decide (Let love decide)
Am I the weaker man
Because I understand
That love must be the master plan (Love is the master plan)
If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love

There will come a time (There will come a time)
When love will blow your mind (Blow your mind)
And everything you'll look 4 you'll find (Take a look inside)
That will be the time (That will be the time)
That everything will shine (Forever)
So bright it makes you colorblind (You will be color blind)
If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world
All I can do is just you my love
If I gave you diamonds and pearls (Pearls)
Would you be a happy boy or a girl (Yeah yeah)
If I could I would give you the world (Give you the world)
All I can do is just offer you my love (All I can do)
