Don't you feel like some days you are running in circles? Today is one of those days!

Someone built a huge spirit circle on the edge of the San Juan River Canyon in Goosenecks State Park. The river meanders so much it takes two miles to travel six miles. The canyon is about 1,500 feet deep here. In the distance on the left is the Alhambra rock formation, an old volcanic core. It is actually huge but the distances are so vast here that it looks tiny.
I belatedly realized that this image is out of focus. Not sure how I managed to do that. I thought about deleting it but decided not because I am intrigued by this stone circle. It's about 40 or 50 feet wide with enough space between the rings for people to walk or stand.
The remains of whaling are everywhere in Svalbard. The bones of these great beasts, bleached ashen white, lie piled high on the beaches where they fell. Standing amidst such desecration, I can hardly bear to look at them. I turn away and photograph an abandoned boat, its hull leaden grey, a ghost that haunts the beaches still. It seems to me the mountains should be wreathed in angry cloud beneath a dark and brooding sky. Instead the sun shines and the mountains sleep. Nature does not mourn, I think to myself. The days pass. The seasons turn. Bones and boats will one day fall to dust. I wonder, when they are gone, will whales still cross the oceans? I hope so.

@Fotosöndag: I veckan har det både varit fettisdag och askonsdag. Med askonsdagen avslutas karnevalen (i de länder där det firas, bl a Tyskland) och påbörjas fastetiden. Vi hade förmånen att uppleva ett karnevalsfirande anordnat av tyska församligen i Göteborg. Festlokalen var smyckat med girlanger och det fick mig att tänka på veckans tema. En girlang har en längd som gör att man kan ställa fokus på ett ställe och resten av objektet blir oskarp. Det var det jag experimenterade med. Med en ficklampa som ljuskälla blev det upplysta cirklar, liksom bokeh-ringar.
I found a pressing need to use this for the subject matter for Macro Monday. Negative space creates circles of light in the early morning with the sun low in the sky.

there is, outside the living room window and up on the side yard, a huge mound of intertwined brambles. I worked on removing them, with Leon's help, for 3 hours and didn't make a dent. I'll start again tomorrow morning. Leon took the dogs in so I could work without interruptions, and the dogs slept.
lucky them.

**there is still a war going on in Ukraine. do what you can to help.
the same with the fires in Maui and the hurricanes on the US southeastern coast. Now we have the earthquake in Morocco. Mother Earth is not happy.
I know many of us are overburdened with trying to help....do your best.
NO MORE WARS.
NO MORE KILLING.
NO MORE SHOOTINGS.
and in the US Americans continue to kill Americans:

“Science deals with the world which it perceives but, seeking more and more to penetrate the veil of naïve perception, progresses only towards the goal of nothing, because it still does not accept in practice (whatever it may admit theoretically) that the mind first creates what it perceives as objects, including the instruments which Science uses for that very penetration. It insists on dealing with ‘data,’ but there shall no data be given, save the bare percept. The rest is imagination. Only by imagination therefore can the world be known. And what is needed is, not only that larger and larger telescopes and more and more sensitive calipers should be constructed, but that the human mind should become increasingly aware of its own creative activity.”

Waterlily detail, filled with water, floating on water. I've seen images of this kind of lily, but was still astounded at how vibrant the colors are in person when I saw one for the first time live in a botanical garden in Maui.

The awesome location of Castlerigg stone circle close to Keswick in the lake district.
A location that provides a spectacular vista to see some of the most majestic fells in the lake district.
I chose this lesser used viewpoint with Blencathra as a backdrop mainly because the dawn clouds were being lit up beautifully by the soon to be rising Sun and of course the clouds seem to mirror the shape of the mountain wonderfully.
I have to admit this was supposed to be my orignal upload tonight but it seemed to go walkabout in the Flickr upload system, so I uploaded the Derwent dawn shot instead, then all of a sudden this shot appears..
So I don't normally upload a couple on the same day, I will leave both on seeing that friends have made the effort to fav/comment.
While I was sitting at my school desk learning all about the Krebs Cycle, Peter was actually working with the man himself, in Oxford! I thought that was reason enough to include this otherwise boring little shot!
Inside my head and in my life
Turning. Again and again.
Even among debris of what was, they
Keep on rolling, carrying me, leaving
It behind the like fallen leaves
Taking with me only memories.
I'm rolling on to the
Next story of my life.
And when will I have a rest?
Just playing with the TT Artisan 100 F2.8. It’s not the most easy lens, but it does render nice effects.
