His dilemma was anchored in the dualistic point of view that set the secular world over against the monastic cloister. He noted, “I brought all the instincts of a writer with me into the monastery. . . . [T] here was this shadow, this double, this writer who had followed me into the cloister.” 51 His conflict was radically described: “Maybe in the end he [a writer] will kill me, he will drink my blood. . . . There are the days when there seems to be nothing left of my vocation—my contemplative vocation—but a few ashes.”

Bird Species in conflict # 11
This immature Northern Goshawk visited the terminal several times one winter. It would hide in the shadows behind the tanks, pipes, ladders, rails etc. and try to ambush the Pigeons when they came to roost.
On this day, the Raven flushed it, and the chase was on in the direction of my position. I could not focus until they were overhead and in a back light situation. I was happy to get this shot of the interaction before they flew directly in front of the sun. The Raven did chase it from the scene that day, but the Goshawk kept returning.
August 15th 1945, 2 weeks before documents were finalized, was VJ Day. Highlighting the end of around 6 years of worldwide violence and carnage. The war was over and people across the world were celebrating.
So anyone who's doing any research know there's another side to the story ofcourse. Japan was left in a near total state of ruin which led to decades long US occupation of fixed replenishing, we all knew eventually this would help Japan as a whole bounce back in great proportions but scars still remain to this day.
I tried to make this side view look like it was of this time. But I'm not that insensitive and left some pieces that ruined the immersion, such as trees that still have plantlife on them, which wouldn't have been in any photo here in '45, raised the noise as well. And frankly, there aren't a whole lot of ways to make the atomic dome look like a positive shot, so I didn't even bother trying to make that the idea.
Because I'm ultra-conservative with space, and I can't just buy new beefy memory cards everyday this is the best frame I have. I never shoot RAW, I refuse to. I need the space to keep trying new angles and be experimental with my spots.
Again: I do not condone atomic warfare, I'm just not going to say WW2 could've ended another way, and I refuse to talk against the US. I love Japan and respect the people who died that day and the ones who mourn, war is still awful, war never changes.
In the twilight of their service, US Air Force Reserve Command's Lockheed C-141B Starlifter 66-0134 departs RAF Mildenhall just days before the outbreak of the 2nd Gulf War
In the background, an F-15 Eagle from the 48thFW at nearby RAF Lakenheath turns base leg to recover there
Quite often when on Easterly landings and when Mildenhall is less busy, F-15's will directly overfly on long finals for Lakenheath which is located only some 5 miles to the North
Intriguingly the main Runway headings conflict with Mildenhall on 11/29 and Lakenheath on 06/24
The 'Lifter' was with the 445th AW at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio

Another male lion this time from South Africa,
The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the cat family (Felidae). The lion is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of 150 to 250 kg (331 to 551 lb) for the former and 120 to 182 kg (265 to 401 lb) for the latter. Male lions have a prominent mane, which is the most recognisable feature of the species.
A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The species is an apex and keystone predator, although they scavenge when opportunities occur.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight.
It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern. - Source Wikipedia

One of my attempts at the "Looking Close... on Friday" theme "Even & Odd"
Shot with a Rodenstock "Magnagon 75 mm F 3.5" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
"I'm a paradox. I want to be happy, but I think of things that make me sad. I'm lazy, yet ambitious. I don't generally like myself, but I also love who I am. I say I don't care, but I really do. I crave attention, but reject it when it comes my way. I'm a conflicted contradiction. If I can't figure myself out, there's no way anyone else has either." -Unknown.

I figured I'd switch it up today, and post some new imagery. I usually let stuff sit a bit before I post but today I felt like seeing some green since spring is amongst us.
What I find intersting about this particular scene is that you have a combination of vibrant spring greens, with snowy foothills/mountains in the background. It's like mother nature was confused at the time. The conditions make for a unique scene with special conditons.
Special thanks to my buddy JoJo B. for being my tour guide. Thanks man, much appreciated.
