Shards of ice on the beach at Lake Clark as spring creeps in at the end of winter
Credit: NPS /D. Young. 2015
A book that confronted me as I stepped into the library... I can't even read a book like this, but I thought it was poignant.
I have read and heard stories about the noise of the Yukon being almost deafening, and huge pieces of ice being thrown onto the beach, sometimes crushing unwary campers.
While I was at it, I added a gradient to the sky.
Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
And I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
Oh, I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
This is the front of a breakup(ish) note that I found in the front parking lot of the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers, MA. Sorry, James. Hope you worked it out.
Kynžvart Chateau
Come and take a look at a place visited by Goethe and the Russian tsars.
Lord Byron’s amulet, Marie Antoinette’s prayer book, Alexander Dumas’ desk or an un-smoked cigarette of Emperor Napoleon III are all to be seen in the extensive collection of curiosities, which the Austrian Chancellor Klemens von Metternich gathered at his chateau. Despite the fact that he was unpopular and feared in the Czech lands and lived most of his life in Vienna, he did love his summer residence in the spa region of West Bohemia. He borrowed a staggering amount from the banker Rothschild to repair it and instead of repaying the money, elevated Rothschild’s children to the peerage.
------------------
Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich (full name German: Klemens Wenzel Nepomuk Lothar, Fürst von Metternich-Winneburg zu Beilstein, anglicised as Clement Wenceslas Lothair, Prince von Metternich-Winneburg-Beilstein; 15 May 1773 – 11 June 1859[1]) was a politician and statesman of Rhenish extraction and one of the most important diplomats of his era, serving as the Austrian Empire's Foreign Minister from 1809 and Chancellor from 1821 until the liberal revolutions of 1848 forced his resignation. One of his first tasks was to engineer a détente with France that included the marriage of Napoleon to the Austrian archduchess Marie Louise. Soon after, he engineered Austria's entry into the War of the Sixth Coalition on the Allied side, signed the Treaty of Fontainebleau that sent Napoleon into exile, and led the Austrian delegation at the Congress of Vienna that divided post-Napoleonic Europe amongst the major powers. For his service to the Austrian Empire he was given the title of Prince in October 1813. Under his guidance, the "Metternich system" of international congresses continued for another decade as Austria aligned herself with Russia and, to a lesser extent, Prussia. This marked the high point of Austria's diplomatic importance, and thereafter Metternich slowly slipped into the periphery of international diplomacy. At home, Metternich held the post of Chancellor of State from 1821 until 1848, under both Francis I and his son Ferdinand I. After brief exile in London, Brighton, and Brussels that lasted until 1851, he returned to the Viennese court, this time to offer only advice to Ferdinand's successor, Franz Josef. Having outlived his generation of politicians, Metternich died at the age of 86 in 1859.
Born into the House of Metternich in 1773, the son of a diplomat, he was named after his godfather, Clement-Wenceslas, Archbishop of Trier. Metternich received a good education at the universities of Strasbourg and Mainz. He was of help during the coronation of Francis II in 1792 and that of his predecessor, Leopold II, in 1790. After a brief trip to England, Metternich was named as the Austrian ambassador to the Netherlands, a short-lived post, since the country was brought under French control the next year. He married his first wife, Eleonore von Kaunitz, in 1795, which aided his entry into Viennese society. Despite having numerous affairs, he was devastated by her death in 1825. He would later remarry, wedding Baroness Antoinette Leykam in 1827 and, after her death in 1829, Countess Melanie Zichy-Ferraris in 1831. She would predecease him by five years. Before taking office as Foreign Minister, Metternich held numerous smaller posts, including ambassadorial roles in the Kingdom of Saxony, the Kingdom of Prussia and Napoleonic France. One of Metternich's sons, Richard von Metternich, was also a successful diplomat; many of Metternich's twelve other acknowledged children predeceased him. A traditional conservative, Metternich was keen to maintain the balance of power, in particular by resisting Russian territorial ambitions in Central Europe and lands belonging to the Ottoman Empire. He disliked liberalism and worked to prevent the breakup of the Austrian empire, for example, by crushing nationalist revolts in Austrian north Italy and the German states. At home, he pursued a similar policy, using censorship and a wide ranging spy network to suppress unrest.
Metternich has been both praised and heavily criticised for the policies he pursued. His supporters point out that he presided over the "Age of Metternich", when international diplomacy helped prevent major wars in Europe. His qualities as a diplomat are commended, some noting that his achievements were considerable in light of the weakness of his negotiating position. His decision to oppose Russian imperialism is seen as a good one. His detractors describe him as a boor who stuck to ill-thought-out, conservative principles out of vanity and a sense of infallibility. They argue he could have done much to secure Austria's future; instead, his 1817 proposals for administrative reform were largely rejected, and his opposition to German nationalism is blamed for Germany's unification under Prussia and not Austria. Other historians have argued that he had far less power than this view suggests and that his policies were only exercised when they were in accord with the views of Austria's Habsburg monarchy.

Edited Landsat 8 image of the breakup of the large iceberg that just split away from the Larsen C ice shelf.
Image source: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=90627
Original caption: When a massive iceberg first broke away from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf sometime between July 10-12, 2017, scientists knew it would eventually start breaking apart. That’s the normal life cycle of a drifting iceberg, which is at the mercy of the ocean’s battering currents, tides, and winds. Already those forces have turned A-68 into two named bergs, A-68A and A-68B, as well as a handful of pieces too small to be named by the U.S. National Ice Center.
In the two weeks following the initial break, satellite imagery has documented the iceberg’s motion. The southern end appears to have slammed into a mix of floating ice above Gipps Ice Rise—the bump of snow- and ice-covered bedrock visible in the lower right of the image. Then the berg rebounded and its northern end swung back toward the just opened rift. The resulting impact caused both the berg’s north end and the ice shelf to fracture.
“The back-and-forth movement of A-68 looks akin to maneuvering a parallel-parked car out of a tight parking space—like an Austin Powers three-point turn,” said Christopher Shuman, a cryospheric scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
The fractured berg and shelf are visible in these images, acquired on July 21, 2017, by the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on the Landsat 8 satellite. The false-color view shows the relative warmth or coolness across the region. White indicates where the ice or water surface is warmest, most notably in the widening strip of mélange between the main iceberg and the remaining ice shelf. Dark grays and blacks are the coldest areas of ice.
So far, the calving and fracturing has taken place under the dark cover of polar night during Antarctica’s austral winter. That makes thermal imagery from satellites a critical tool for “seeing” the action. Adrian Luckman of the UK-based Project MIDAS first saw the berg break away in thermal data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), before Sentinel radar data became available later on July 12.
The thermal view above shows a remarkable amount of detail. The bright signature of relatively warm ocean water appears around A-68B, which broke off sometime between late July 13 and early July 14. More subtle fractures north of A-68B are visible on the shelf; these pieces will eventually break free and move out to sea with the rest of the ice.
All of the ice pieces large and small are subject to the water currents of the Weddell Gyre and the strong weather systems that can whip up blinding snow and blanket the region in clouds for many days at a time. This same ocean circulation that will eventually move the bergs northward toward South Georgia Island.
In the meantime, scientists will have to wait until August—the end of polar night here—to get their first natural-color images since the long-growing Larsen C rift became a complete break.

This picture was taken May 17, 2005 by my sister.
It was taken 10 days before our wedding. This was the point where he has decided to just let me go because he is certain that I wasn't the one for him... Capturing the end of a relationship. As I look to the picture, he looks at me so coldly while I was there wanting to work things out and would do anything to save the relationship... but it was a good thing that he ended it. I am better off without him and his judgmental family
that's me (geek girl) being in love with the geek :-(
For those of you who don't know, me 'n Papa moved out a few weeks ago. Somtimes parents don't get along anymore. Mother and Papa said it wasn't anything any of us did; it was just time to go separate ways.
I got to pick who I would stay with and of course, I picked Papa. I may never have to take a bath again!!! Yay!

This composite image has been enhanced to capture the relatively faint structures during the decaying phase of the aurora late in the night, although there is a shap and bright ray to the northeast. Taken around 0105 UT.
A conversation with Scott from Two Claws Jewelry inspired me to post this. Made in 2001 after breaking up with a man I never should have been with in the first place. I transformed him into a shadow of a lizard because he was a manipulative, posessive, twisted, dark-souled, liar of a man. I took his eyes away! It is printed on stretched canvas and the beads are embroidered. It has never hung in my home, but I keep it around.
The diaries I kept over a period of six years - all 2000 pages, which later became my book BREAKUP: enduring divorce.
The disc they were scanned onto.
What to do with a day and a half near Bergen? Rent a car and drive for the hills. I enjoyed exploring the fjords, charted my path from waterfall to waterfall and looked for small roads that traced along the fjords or through back valleys. Timing was ideal, as the trip fell when the fjords were breaking up and shortly after a recent dusting of snow.
