MISSION TERRE V2 1
Pôle Nord de la Terre, décembre 3218
« Ce 21 décembre 3218, un premier groupe d’humains dont les ancêtres ont fuit une Terre devenue inhabitable - cette triste période l’histoire connue sous le nom de Grande Migration - se pose sur ces terres désolées et méconnaissables du Pôle Nord de la Terre. Leur mission : chercher des réponses aux interrogations suivantes : l’évolution de la Terre est-elle irréversible? La vie pourra t-elle un jour y prospérer de nouveau? Dans quelles conditions?

Chants de la Terre lointaine (The Songs of Distant Earth), un poème épique, écrit par une écrivaine du nom de Cassiopée Clarke, jusque-là inconnue, bouleverse l’âme des habitants de la planète. Ce poème réveille en eux la douleur ancestrale de la migration de leurs ancêtres, de la perte de leur planète d’origine, de leur culture, de leur histoire. L’héroïne du poème ressent cette douleur, mais aussi quelque chose de plus intime et étrange à la fois : une impossible connexion avec cette Terre lointaine - ses Chants - qui lui révèleraient que la Terre abrite encore et toujours, les vibrations uniques de la vie. Sous la pression du public, les autorités planétaires décident d’organiser une expédition de reconnaissance vers la Terre. La poétesse Clarke, est invitée à se joindre à l’équipe scientifique du vaisseau spatial Earth One.

PÔLE NORD DE LA TERRE, trois mois après l’arrivée
Le Commandant de la mission - « Madame Clarke, je suis désolé, mais notre équipe scientifique arrive à la conclusion que le cycle destructeur qui a conduit à la Grande Migration ne s’est pas inversé. Les continents qui ne sont pas inondés, sont devenus désertiques, balayés par des vents violents et brûlants. Nous estimons que 80% de la surface la planète est inhabitable par des humains. À l’exception des Pôles, l’air est irrespirable. La vie subsiste dans les profondeurs des mers nordiques, mais sous une forme très simplifiée. L’exploitation des ressources minières - ce dont nous avons réellement besoin - serait non-économique selon nos experts. Leur recommandation est de mettre fin à cette mission. Avez-vous quelque chose à ajouter, Madame? »
En guise de réponse, Madame Clarke offrit ses larmes. Il valait mieux taire son secret, cette certitude qui était maintenant sienne, que ses Chants lui avaient dit la vérité, que la vie reprendrait ses droits sur cette planète, mais qu’il était absolument vital de tenir les humains à l’écart. Elle essuya ses larmes de joie et les préparatifs du retour vers Thalassa débutèrent.

MISSION EARTH V2 1
Earth North Pole, December 3218
"This December 21, 3218, a first group of humans whose ancestors fled the land that had become uninhabitable - this sad period, know in history as the Great Migration - lands on these desolate and unrecognizable lands of the northern hemisphere. Their mission: to seek answers to the following questions: is the evolution of the Earth irreversible? Can life ever prosper again? Under what conditions?

The Songs of Distant Earth, an epic poem, written by a writer named Cassiopeia Clarke, until then unknown, moves the souls of the inhabitants of the planet. This poem awakens in them the ancestral pain of the migration of their ancestors, of the loss of their home planet, their culture, their history. The heroine of the poem feels this pain, but also something more intimate and strange at the same time: an impossible connection with this distant Earth - her Songs - which would reveal to her that the Earth still and always shelters the unique vibrations of life. Under public pressure, the planetary authorities decide to organize a scouting expedition to Earth. Poet Clarke is invited to join the scientific team to the spacecraft Earth One.

NORTH POLE OF THE EARTH, three months after arrival
Mission Commander - "Mrs. Clarke, I'm sorry, but our science team has come to the conclusion that the destructive cycle that led to the Great Migration has not been reversed. The continents which are not flooded have become desert, swept by strong and scorching winds. We estimate that 80% of the planet's surface is uninhabitable by humans. With the exception of the Poles, the air is unbreathable. Life subsists in the depths of the northern seas, but in a very simplified form. The exploitation of mineral resources - what we really need - would be uneconomic according to our experts. Their recommendation is to end this mission. Do you have anything to add, Madame? "
In response, Mrs. Clarke offered her tears. It was better to hide her secret, this certainty that was now hers, that her Songs had told the truth, that life would take back its rights on this planet, but that it was absolutely vital to keep humans away. She wiped away her tears of joy and the preparations for the return to Thalassa began.

This is Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. One of the most photographed location on the Outerbanks. But my January Outerbank series would not be completed without a photo of this iconic location.
It was a great evening, and we were lucky the clouds were clearing when we arrived there. The side light from the moon allowed the use of a relative short shutter speed and ISO.

The Petrikirche (church of St Peter) in Lübeck - first mentioned in 1170 and extensively expanded at later times - and not finished until the 15th century. 1227-1250 the church got aisles on both sides of the nave. The church was then, in the 15th century expanded with two more aisles in Gothic style and it became a hall church (a church where the nave and aisles have approximately the same height).
The church was badly damaged by the allied bombings on Palm Sunday 1942 and was not completely restored until the 1980s. The church that had been so badly damaged was not just a Gothic church, but one known for its Baroque splendour which for the most part was destroyed and not reconstructed. But I think these slight remains of paint-work still visible in the ceilings are Baroque and not medieval. I do not know for certainty that this is the case here, but there are plenty of examples of medieval churches that after the Reformation had all there murals covered by white paint or plaster (more so then you would believe today, since modern techniques sometimes hade been able to remove the covering paint so you now can see them again), but that did not mean painted decorations were not added later on and in the 17th and 18th century it would be quite popular to paint on church walls and ceilings again. (The cross with JETZT, 'NOW' in German, is of course completely modern.)

Lake Montriond is located in the Haute-Savoie in the French Chablais region. The lake is frequented by fishermen and especially by walkers and hikers.
The lake of Montriond was created by the collapse of a part of the mountain of Nantaux in the North West. This geological event, which is not dated with certainty (from 4500 years to 3 or 4 centuries!), caused a dam on the torrent which ran at the bottom of the valley, hence the
formation of the lake.
Le lac de Montriond se trouve en Haute-Savoie dans le Chablais français. Le lac est fréquenté par les pêcheurs et surtout par les promeneurs et randonneurs.
Le lac de Montriond est né suite à l'éboulement d'une partie de la montagne de Nantaux au Nord Ouest. Cet événement géologique non daté avec certitude (de 4500 ans à 3 ou 4 siècles !) a provoqué un barrage sur le torrent qui courait au fond de la vallée, d'où la formation du lac.
Memoirs Of A Geisha_Truly Madly Deepy
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath, truly madly deeply do
I will be strong, I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living. A deeper meaning.
I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest power, in lonely hours, the tears devour you
Songwriters: Daniel Jones / Darren Hayes
Its name of the Devil's Pailón is originated by the shape of the rocks (on your right) that are under the waterfall and if you look closely you can see the shape of the Devil's Face that is formed in the rocks, hence its name. Although its name scares a bit, it can be said with certainty that this waterfall of Baños, is one more visited by tourists in Ecuador.
A getaway to this place provided pleasant moments.
Kept discovering what this corner of the Sierra region holds for me, and looked for new adventures to live on my vacations.
Usually crocuses bloom in spring. They are its landmark, and when we see their blossoms for the first time in the year, we know: the winter is coming to an end, and we become happy.
This little beauty is also a crocus, but a very special one: the autumn crocus, or also namend: the meadow saffron. It blooms in autumn - so to speak, it forms the other side of a frame that lays light and tender around the harsh, cold winter.
A floral version of the certainty that even the hardest winter will ever end.

“A short while later, as I stare down at the bodies of the six men I have just killed, I cannot help but wonder: Do I love killing? Of a certainty, I love the way my body and weapons move as one; I revel in the knowledge of where to strike for maximum impact. And of a certainty, I am good at it.”

Amami ma non fermare le mie ali se vorrò volare…
non chiudermi in una gabbia per paura di perdermi.
Amami con l’umile certezza del tuo Amore ed io non andrò più via…
e se sarò in un cielo lontano ritroverò la strada del tuo pensiero…
e se sarai con me ti insegnerò a volare…
e tu mi insegnerai a restare.
Amami con ogni parte di te perché io possa appartenere all’anima e non al corpo quando ti abbraccerò o bacerò le tue forme.
Amami senza nascondere quella tenerezza che ti fa bambina sulle mie pupille e non vergognarti mai se ti dirò “Ti amo”.
Amami qualunque sia l’aspetto che assumerà il nostro Amore o il luogo in cui ci scambieremo un altro sguardo.
Preghiera Indiana
Love me but don't stop my wings if I want to fly....
Don't lock me in a cage for fear of losing me.
Love me with the humble certainty of your Love and I won't go away anymore...
and if I'm in a distant sky I'll find the way of your thought...
and if you will be with me I will teach you to fly...
and you will teach me to stay.
Love me with every part of you so that I may belong to the soul and not to the body when I embrace you or kiss your form.
Love me without hiding that tenderness that makes you a child on my pupils and never be ashamed if I say "I love you".
Love me no matter what our Love will look like or where we will exchange another glance.

Now the blue sky is coming... it can already be seen on the horizon, and nothing and no one can stop it ...
Before the infinite and marvelous force of its light, its beauty, every storm is forced to surrender and dissolve into nothingness... which is the true, useless, sad dimension to which it belongs.
After the storm, the clear sky always returns...
This is one of life's few certainties...
ll cielo sereno sta tornando......... si vede già all'orizzonte, e niente e nessuno, lo può fermare ...
Alla forza infinita e meravigliosa, della sua luce, della sua bellezza, qualunque tempesta è costretta ad arrendersi, e a dissolversi nel nulla.......... che è poi la vera, inutile, triste dimensione a cui appartiene.
Dopo la tempesta, torna sempre il sereno.....
Questa è una delle poche certezze della vita....
Viva La Vida
I took this photo on Mothers day, but am only now getting around to posting it. My mom passed away five years ago and we were very close.
Now some of you may find this to be strange I can never remember my mother hugging me or saying she loved me, but have no doubt I knew with certainty she did.
My mother didn't say much in words, but her actions spoke very loudly and I knew if I was ever in need she was there for me.
My mom had the perfect balance in staying out of my affairs, while at the same time watching from a distance, to make sure I was safe.
so here I am remembering what was and knowing that even though she is physically gone she will always be inside me.
"Still I Rise"
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
-Maya Angelou-
"One Billion Rising is the biggest mass action to end violence against women (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence) in human history. (The reality that): 1 in 3 women across the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. That’s ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. Every February, we rise – in countries across the world – to show our local communities and the world what one billion looks like and shine a light on the rampant impunity and injustice that survivors most often face. We rise through dance to express joy and community and celebrate the fact that we have not been defeated by this violence. We rise to show we are determined to create a new kind of consciousness – one where violence will be resisted until it is unthinkable."
I know nothing
with any certainty,
but the sight
of the stars next
to you makes me
dream....-Uk
Sempre-Xoxo

I will leave the past with grieves .. wipe the moment with oblivion
the life had not have any meaning without you .
My Beloved ... I'm a parched heart ..
This was back in June, right before society completely lost its mind, it was quite a warm evening if I recall of what had been an unusual Summer has it was very much stop and start weather wise. Usually I am not one for moon photos as simply I always try to do what everyone else isn't remaining organic and true to observation. When I saw the position however above the aerial I thought, hmm Aliens, Communication, Signal, "ET phone home" and the such like. I was once asked if I believe in Aliens and my response was as follows...
I don't believe in anything, none of this, I believe in nothing, at least not to the extent of absolute certainty. You can be 98.9% assured that this information, direction, idea, what have you is correct, but always retain that 1.1% seed of doubt, thus shall this germinate into further inquiry and further down the rabbit hole you go, to thus ascend to advanced knowledge and greater wisdom.
I trust everyone is well, have a great weekend and so as always, thank you! :)
The water tower in the middle of the chapel bridge is part of the historic city fortification of Lucerne and is considered a landmark of the city.
The 35-metre-high octagonal and slightly leaning tower complements the city fortification towards the lake. Its construction time cannot be determined with certainty, but certainly after 1262, so even before the chapel bridge built. It has long served as a defensive and watchtower, as well as a cornerstone of the city's fortification. Over the years, he was a city archive, treasury, dungeon and torture chamber.
It is mentioned for the first time in 1367. The existing roof chair dates back to 1339. Since 1939 the tower has been rented to the Lucerne Artillery Association. The tower is rarely open to the public, usually only in summer.
On the lower floor of the tower is a dungeon. Its walls are three meters thick, there are neither windows nor doors. Access is only possible via an opening in the floor of the room above. The dungeon was probably used as a prison until 1759 and then abandoned. On the first floor is the so-called treasury. It served as a prison and as an interrogation and torture chamber until 1759. From 1759 to 1798 the state treasure was kept here, from 1798 to 1803 the room served again as a prison and from 1804 to keep the securities of the community. The second upper floor was until 1759 the place of storage of the Lucerne State Treasury and the State Archives.
When it was discovered in 1758 that money had been stolen for years, it was converted into a prison (until 1802). From 1804 to 1919 he again housed the municipal archive. The striking stork nest on the top of the tower has not been used for over 100 years. The 15-metre-high attic served as an interrogation and torture chamber. Since 1892 alpine sailors have been breeding here in a colony, which is supervised by the Ornithological Society of the City of Lucerne (OGL), since 1959 on behalf of the City Council of Lucerne. The Alpine sailing colony in the water tower is the largest Alpine swift "Tachymarptis melba" colony in central Switzerland.

Klaffmäulchen (Zwerglöwenmäulchen)
This little modesty sprouted quite lonely from the middle of Frankenia laevis and it took me until just now to be able to identify it with any degree of certainty.
It seemed somehow familiar from my distant childhood, which is why the penny finally dropped: it is the dwarf form of the snapdragon, known in German as "Klaffmäulchen".
Wabi sabi at its best 😛
P.S.: I love the sharpness distribution at the base of the plant, so not even cropped to my usual 4:5 ratio.
Dieser kleine Bursche ersproß ganz einsam aus der Mitte der Frankenia laevis und ich habe bis soeben gebraucht, sie überhaupt mit annähernder Sicherheit bestimmen zu können.
Aus meiner fernen Kindheit kam sie mir irgendwie bekannt vor, daher fiel auch letztendlich der Groschen: es ist die Zwergform des Löwenmäulchens, man nennt sie im Deutschen „Klaffmäulchen“.
Wabi sabi vom Feinsten 😛
PS: Ich liebe den Schärfeverlauf am Fuß der Pflanze, deshalb nicht einmal auf mein übliches 4:5 Format beschnitten.

I took this after a walk near Wernigerode in Central Germany, a beautiful Sunset was just beginning through the trees and I just couldn't pass up such a wonderful opportunity to capture it!
On another note...
So much is laying at stake at the present moment in the world, so much! We have a glorious chance, a chance to stand up against the tyranny of the world and the cowards as we acquiesce to their orders and demands. There is a spiritual vibration, like a sleeping Lion, that is beginning to stir and the powers that should not be are aware of this.
We are the consciousness, we are the awakening, it is now time to either do exactly that, wake up, or enslavement is the inevitable result. Take yourself from the mind and into the heart and a whole new perspective and thus a whole new world awaits you!
Listen in full to this video, just give it a chance...
And before anyone accuses me of believing in "Conspiracy Theories" allow me to introduce to you a philosophy I follow...
I believe nothing, none of it, not a thing, at least not to the point of absolute certainty, you can be 98.9% certain you can have truck with this information, data, script, dialogue what have you, but always retain the 1.1% seed of doubt; for that shall germinate into further inquiry and further answers, and thus further down the rabbit hole you go to greater knowledge, experience and the most divine of all, wisdom!
Enlightenment or Enslavement, the choice is yours!
I hope everyone has a great week ahead and as always, thank you! :)
who had never taken part in the process of creation.... Multitudes of bees used to bury themselves in the yellow-blossoms of the summer-squashes... when they had laden themselves with sweets, they flew away to some unknown hive... I was glad thus to fling a benefaction upon the passing breeze, with the certainty that somebody must profit by it, and that there would be a little more honey in the world, to allay the sourness and bitterness which mankind is always complaining of. Yes, indeed; my life was the sweeter for that honey :-)

Thanks to my partner Eli Medier for his poem:
"Deep night
falling moon
high in the sky
Smell of ripe grass
The new season
brings us her heart deep static
I'd like to look like you
But I have questions
pressing into the mind
like thunderstorms
And yet life had dropped
from above glistening water
full of certainties"

I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. ~Vincent van Gogh
Realmente no estoy segura de su identificación, la he buscado en mis guías y en internet pero no he sido capaz de identificarla con seguridad, si alguien con mas experiencia y sabiduría, me lo puede aclarar seria genial
Fue localizada en Lastres, un pueblo marinero de Asturias, en el mes de septiembre y justo en el puerto.
.....................
I am really not sure of its identification, I have looked for it in my guides and on the internet but I have not been able to identify it with certainty, if someone with more experience and wisdom can clarify it for me, it would be great
She was located in Lastres, a fishing village in Asturias, northern Spain in the month of September and right in the port.
l'unica certezza rimasta e' affidare i nostri casini nelle mani dei santi....ma non sono mica certo che non abbiano le mani bucate...
the only certainty is that there remained is to entrust our troubles in the hands of saints, but I am not sure that their hands are not holes ...
Birds of prey… Wonderous or nightmarish depending on your point of view
Carnivores have been around as far back as you care to go and the taking of life is as natural as the rain falling from the sky
That is the nature of things
And that fact will be universal., so if man ever does shoot for the stars we had better take care
Because it's an absolute certainty that If there is life out there (just like at your local reserve) there's also naturally going to be wonderous nightmare's out there too
Not a fledgling I can identify with certainty, but it looked vulnerable and photogenic perched in the tree. My camera was primed and ready to shoot; thank you was all I said.

The little prince wears the very comfortable new Cotton Cardigan by Blank Line. You too can pick it up at this months always cool The Mens Dept.
And and and... A big hug and thank you from the bottom of my heart to you both, Dee and Skip, for always being loving and kind. Hope you had fun!
Let's keep lifting one another up up up to such great heights, everyone!

Puisque j'ai la chance et le bonheur d'avoir beaucoup de vie sauvage et surtout d'oiseaux chez moi et au alentour ça attire automatiquement les prédateurs...
L'année passée, j'ai creusé la neige et installé ma petite tente camouflage que j'ai adapté avec un drap blanc et des épingle à couche afin d'essayer de me fondre dans le décor. Je voulais essayer de capturer des oiseaux au vol avec mon nouveau boîtier R5 et aussi être plus discret au cas où elle ( la Pie-grièche ) viendrait qu'à se présenter autour de mon installation # 2 de mangeoires sur les rives du lac là ou la lumière est favorable une partie de la journée et qui est son endroit de prédilection pour la chasse aux petits oiseaux pour elle. J'ai eu l'occasion d'observer cette superbe Pie-grièche à plusieurs reprises lors de mes sessions de photographie, elle a même attaqué des Gros-bec errant avec succès à ma grande surprise bien que ces proies favorites était beaucoup plus petites. Ce que je peu vous affirmez avec certitude c'est que c'est très rapide et très farouche comme oiseau de proie...
P.s Si vous vous demandez pourquoi je n'affiche pas plus sur Flickr et que j'avais délaissé le média et bien ce matin j'ai seulement 0.06 Mbps de Download et 0.04 Mbps de Upload chez moi... C'est long en maudit afficher une photo et commenter vos photos chaque jour...
Residence, Duhamel, Quebec, Canada
Since I am very lucky to have a lot of wild life and especially birds at home and around it automatically it attracts predators...
Last year, I dug the snow and set up my little camouflage tent, which I adapted with a bed white sheet and diaper pins to hold it to try to blend in with the snow. I wanted to try to capture birds in flight with my new R5 camera and also be more discreet in case it (the Northern Shrike) just happened to show up around my feeders installation # 2 on the shores of the lake where the light is favorable part of the day and the favorite hunting spot for small birds for the Shrike. I had the opportunity to observe this superb Northern Shrike several times during my photography sessions. It even attacked Evening Grosbeaks successfully to my surprise although here favorite preys were much smaller birds and mouses. What I can tell you with certainty is that it is very fast and very skittish bird of prey...
Ps If you're wondering why I don't post more on Flickr and that I had neglected the media, well this morning I only have 0.06 Mbps of Download and 0.04 Mbps of Upload at home... It's a long time to post and comment on your photos every day...

ICI ET DEMAIN
Je sais avec certitude que l’Univers est… grand.
Tellement que, dans la vie de tous les jours, nous renonçons à demander, comment? pourquoi?
Et ici, devant ce marais salé, nous sommes confinés au moment présent, à l’infiniment près, à l’ambiance et aux émotions que nous procurent ce moment. Là aussi, il n’y a pas beaucoup de place pour se demander pourquoi, comment?
La condition humaine est ancrée « ici et maintenant » et se conjugue plus difficilement avec les concepts « ailleurs et demain ».
C’est pourtant « ici et demain » que l’histoire pourra continuer à s’écrire…?
À moins que… vous ne connaissiez la route des étoiles?

BEYOND « HERE AND NOW »
I know with certainty that the Universe is . . . vast.
So that, in everyday life, we stop asking, how? why?
And here, in front of the salt marsh, we are confined to the present moment, to the infinitely close, to the ambience and the emotions that are coming from that moment. Here also, is not much room to ask why? how?
The human condition is rooted in "here and now" and is not easily combined with concepts as "somewhere else and tomorrow ».
We have to get beyond " here and now " if we hope history continues to be written…
Unless. . . you know the path to the stars?

at least not with certainty. If the specimen composition you send is about your fair usual average, I suggest that perhaps a couple of whales would be all you would want for the present. Not the largest kind, but simply good middling-sized whales :-)

when for a moment you deign of his gaze....you think about how small and helpless you are....
his face bears the marks of many battles....his eyes have the fire of the king...
sometimes nature takes away your certainties....like when you meet him....

I just remembered I did not post the female I photographed on my trip, so here she is.
There has been some discussion as to whether the Wall lizard is a native species, as it is on Jersey in the Channel Islands. Although it cannot be ruled out with complete certainty, All scientific evidence (including legacy records, museum specimens, zooarchaeological remains & DNA analysis) suggest that the Wall lizard is an entirely introduced species to the United Kingdom, with many documented releases across the nineteenth century.

If you're a door, stairway, or window aficionado then you will find yourself captivated by San Francisco. Like Rome, "The City" is built on seven hills making stairways an almost certainty on any home. Architects have found very creative ways to accentuate these stairways. The doors and windows have come along for the ride.

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.
