I was using my Coolpix 995 and didn't realize that I had not returned the settings to normal after shooting some color negatives with the slide/film holder. So, imagine my surprise when I took this image and wondered why in hell it looked like a color negative!

Male drag ‘artist’ dances for kids at Vatican’s World Children’s Day:
“Catholics have expressed horror after a male performance artist danced in drag for young children during Pope Francis’ first World Children’s Day this weekend.”

No shock here! The pope is a Marxist and a heretic.
At one time, if a man bent over and lifted up his skirt in front of children he would have been arrested. Now, he is invited by the pope to groom children at the Vatican—with the applause of parents of course. Doesn’t the Catholic Church already have a bad reputation for sexual abuse?
Can anyone say: Revelation’s whore on the beast!?!
The Silent Pacifier Aftermath: A Tale of Consequences on the Pavement
Here, captured at pavement level amidst the vibrant blur of market life, lies not merely a lost pacifier, but the tangible echo of a recent, potent drama. Its soft, peachy hue and gentle curves belie the raw energy that propelled it to this desolate spot. This wasn't an accidental slip from a pram or a gentle drift from a pocket; this was a deliberate act, a tiny, furious declaration of independence.
The scene itself, if one were to zoom out just a moment in time, spoke volumes. A tantrum, recently concluded, left its mark not in lingering cries, but in this quiet, discarded symbol. The parent, now moving away, has left behind more than just the pacifier; they've left a silent, powerful consequence. Perhaps it was a pedagogical choice, a lesson in the immediate aftermath of a defiant throw. Perhaps it was a moment of sheer parental exhaustion, a silent surrender to the fleeting chaos of a market day.
The pacifier remains, not simply lost, but seemingly unretrieved. It's a small, poignant testament to the ebb and flow of childhood emotion and the complex dynamics of family life played out on the public stage. The very act of leaving it behind transforms it from a comforting object into a marker of a moment – a tiny monument to a vanquished tantrum, waiting now for the indifferent tread of countless feet to erase its vivid story from the ground. It compels us to wonder about the child, the parent, and the unresolved quiet that now hangs over this small, soft item, so recently a source of profound comfort, now a silent, vivid consequence.
“Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty.
Reason says, Nonsense.
I have walked and measured the walls here.
There are no places like that.
Love says, There are.
Reason set up a market and begins doing business.
Love has more hidden work.
Hallaj steps away from the pulpit and climbs the stairs of the gallows.
Lovers feel a truth inside themselves that rational people keep denying.
It is reasonable to say, Surrender is just an idea that keeps people from living their lives.
Love responds, No.
This thinking is what is dangerous.
Using language obscures what Shams came to give.
Every day the sun rises out of low word-clouds into burning silence.”
(Poem by Rumi from “Rumi: Bridge to the Soul: Journeys into the Music and Silence of the Heart” translated by Coleman Barks)
This couple of dogs stay together, I often meet them at dawn whenever I come to Gola ghat.
They were looking far towards Malviya Bridge over the holy waters of the Ganges...

Anas platyrhynchos (Mallard / Ánade real)
The mallard is the world’s most widespread duck and a model species in many biological research areas. It is also an economical important game species with a yearly hunting bag of 4.5million ducks in Europe alone.
The mallard is the most common and numerous duck in Sweden. The overall size of the breeding population in Sweden is about 200.000 pairs.

One of the features of the Sk8 Park in Grimsby, Ontario is a group of small billboard-style panels specifically intended to host the artistic expressions of those visiting the site. As a result, graffiti is encouraged in places that are acceptable. Furthermore, periodic cleanup of the panels by town staff ensures regular refreshment of the subject matter. This image was taken in mid-February, the dead of Winter, so the snow-covered park was not in regular use and had not been for several months. The last round of painting had been ignored, likely waiting for Spring to get a refresh, with the consequence being the multiple layers of paint had weathered and flaked off leaving colourful abstracts when viewed up close. This section features and area with yellow and green patches. - JW

The consequence of stopping where everybody else is riding: the guy in yellow shirt who looks back thought that I got a flat. He turned back and offered a spare tube in case I did not have one. That was very kind of him but I was perhaps a little bit embarrassed explaining that I just stop every now and then to get my daily picture...
Antakara in Sanskrit means the sun . This painting a portrait of the son of the morning KARNA the duke into battle Kurusetra.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karna was the son of Surya ( sun god in Hindi mythology ) and Kunti. He was born to Kunti before her marriage with Pandu. Karna was the closest friend of Duryodhana and fought on his behalf against the Pandavas (his brothers) in the famous Kurukshetra war. Karna fought against misfortune throughout his life and kept his word under all circumstances. It is believed that Karna founded the city of Karnal, in present Haryana. Karna is one of the most famous personalities in Hinduism based on the merits they earned by giving charity. He is often quoted for his sacrifice, courage, charity, valour, and selflessness (wikipedia)
He was a man with a phenomenal sense of integrity and generosity but all this was lost. He died in the battle in a bad way.
Existence is not making a judgment about who is good or bad. It is only social situations that try to judge people as good and bad. It is only individual human beings who try to judge you as good and bad. Existence never judges because it is not written anywhere that one thing is good and some other thing is bad. It is just that if you do the right things, the right results happen to you. If you don’t do the right things, the right things do not happen to you. I think that’s perfectly fair. All the Karna fans think it is unfair that he should have been put through so much. I think it’s perfectly fair. Society may not be fair, but the existence is perfectly fair – unless you do the right things, the right things will not happen to you. If existence was not like this, there would be no value for doing the right things or for human intelligence. Nothing that we value in our life would be valuable if you could do wrong things and still the right things happened to you. Life doesn’t work like that. (iSHA- Karna - Hero or Villain ? )

Karna, the heroic villain of Mahabharata
Containing hundreds of characters, lots of events, so many episodes and having a time span of thousands of years Mahabharata, an Indian epic, is the biggest epic in the world. In count of numbers of verses it is seven times bigger than Illiad and Odyssey. By the grace of Indra (Devraj, King of gods) and with his divinely powerful bow Gandib, the hero of Mahabharata is none other than Arjuna. As literature says, when there is a hero there must be a villain. Literally, villain means the main negative character in a play, story, novel etc. who is morally not sound and responsible for causing the trouble or harm for others, particularly the hero or heroine. In that sense there are more villains in Mahabharata viz. Duryodohana, Duswashan, Shakuni (maternal uncle of Duryodhana) etc. but surpassingly all of them represent Karna, the only person that though known as a villain, had heroic characters.
In a war Karna challenged Arjuna but Arjuna declined to fight him on the ground that fight occurs between kings but Karna was none of a royal dynasty. Instantly Duryodhana declared Karna as king of Anga (presently Bhagalpur and Munger district in the state of Bihar in India). Since then, as an outcome of Arjuna’s refusal to fight, Kama nourished a strong hatred for Pandav brothers i.e. five Pandavs.
In war of Kurukshethra, among other heroes in both Pandava and Kaurav side, Karna was unparallel and almost equal to Arjuna. He was a child of Kunti (mother of five Pandavs) by Surya (the sun) before her marriage. So, according to traditional belief Karna is an illegitimate child but in the other way round, he is the eldest of Pandava brothers though just after birth Kunti left him and he was adopted by another couple named Adhirath and Radha. Gradually he was known as a son of Adhiratha, a charioteer. He always made a relentless effort to know his parentage and from where he came. At one stage, before the war of Kurukshetra, when he came to know from Sri Krishna that he was a son of Surya and Kunti, he had a breakdown within himself but his hatred towards the Pandavs and as a mark of loyalty to Duryodhana he thought that his hatred was justified. He is one of the central characters of Mahabharata, a close friend of Duryodhana and a great warrior who was believed to have the power of defeating Arjuna in a war but though he was intelligent he was very unfortunate and unscrupulous.
Since birth Karna had an undecaying bangle and amulet which would protect him from any danger especially in a war. As a mother Kunti knew it very well. Though Karna was her eldest son, she had all the sympathy and affection for her other five sons. Knowing it fully well that so long the amulet and bangle were with him, Karna would be invincible and her sons, i.e. the Pandavas would be defeated in the war. Moreover, she came to know from Sri Krisha that Karna alone was sufficient to destroy the Pandavs. With such an apprehension in mind and with a view to ensure victory of the Pandavas in the imminent war, she went to Karna who was then offering prayers to the evening sun on the bank of holy river, the Ganges (Jahnabi, the other name).We can remember that famous poem Karna Kunti Sangbad by Rabindranath Tagore. Karna could not recognise her mother because he was abandoned by Kunti just after birth. Introducing herself, Kunti requested Karna to leave the Kaurava side and join the Pandavas. Kunti’s purpose of coming became clear to Karna but frustrating her and out of deep sense of gratitude to Duryodhana, Karna declined to be a renegade. Being afraid and thinking of the inevitable result of the war, Kunti prayed for the undecaying amulet and bangle to Karna. Karna could clearly understand the consequences of leaving that amulet and bangle but as it was his nature not to refuse anyone, at that solemn moment of evening prayer, he did not refuse and risking his own life he gave away that amulet and bangle to Kunti. Such was the generosity of Karna. What a great sacrifice at the cost of his life! With this greatness of mind and broadness of heart Karna is very much like a hero but even after reaching such an altitude of greatness, Karna had villain like activities in his life.
When Draupadi was disrobed in the open court in front of hundreds of members of royal family, Karna remained a passive onlooker and enjoyed the humiliation without any protest which, however, tainted his greatness.
Abhimanyu (son of Arjuna) was a boy of only 18 but he was an expert warrior. Karna considered him as moving death. Even Dronacharya (arms teacher of Pandav and Kaurav brothers) thought him as the incarnation of Rudra, the god of war. Karna apprehended that unless killed, Abhimanyu would destroy all of them. He consulted with Dronacharya and others. One day during the war of Kurukshetra, seven very senior warriors of the Kaurav side, under the leadership of Karna, killed Abhimanyu which was against all acknowledged laws and rules of the war. Killing Abhimanyu illegally in war was the most remarkable act of Karna as a villain. He committed mistakes one after another only out of his extreme sense of loyalty to Duryodhana and turned himself into a villain though he had all the qualities of a hero.
Earlier in life, hiding his identity as Kshatriya, Karna learnt the techniques of using arms and the art of warfare from his arms teacher (astraguru) but when his real identity became clear his teacher commented — “during war you will forget all the big and powerful arms which I have taught you” and it happened in the war of Kurukshetra. Once, out of anger, Karna bate a calf of a Brahmin to death simply for the reason that the calf had eaten up flowers of his garden. That Brahmin cursed—“wheels of your chariot would be grabbed in the soil during the time of war”. That also happened most pathetically.
We see that the most sentimental scene of the war of Kuruskhetra (and also of Mahabharata) where Kkarna downfaced, without amulet and bangle, face to face with Arjuna, in futile efforts to pull out the wheels of his chariot from the eternal grab of soil and requesting, “Arjuna, you are a pious man. Please allow me time to pull out the wheels of my chariot”. In reply, Arjuna is saying, “Where was your sense of religion when you killed boy Abhimanyu in an unlawful battle?” And those were the last words of Karna, the great but mean, mighty but miserable and the most complex and unfortunate character in Mahabharata.

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Palace Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.
Unintended consequences - this unfortunate hare (jack rabbit) has met its end via the farm machinery operating in what it thought was a safe environment.

Two days after the last load I put into the washing machine, I found this dry, contorted object in the washer. I failed to see it when I transferred the wet laundry to the dryer. But it does make an interesting abstract, an unintended consequence.

Rund 15 Prozent der Erdoberfläche werden von Savannen bedeckt. Damit gehören sie zu den größten und wichtigsten Lebensräumen des Planeten. Seit dem 26. Mai 2023 wird Besucher*innen im Tierpark Berlin ein Einblick in diese faszinierende Landschaft gewährt und sie können mehr über die unterschiedlichen Bewohner der ostafrikanischen Savanne und ihren natürlichen Lebensraum erfahren.
Ein wahrer Höhepunkt der neuen Tierpark-Savanne ist der 120 Meter lange Giraffenpfad: Hier werden die Gäste den bis zu fünf Meter hohen Grazien der Savanne zukünftig auf Augenhöhe begegnen können – wer sich traut, bahnt sich den Weg durch den Wald bis zu den Aussichtsplattformen über eine abenteuerliche Hängebrücke. Der Tierpark Berlin erreicht mit der Eröffnung der Afrikanischen Savannenlandschaft ein neues Etappenziel auf seinem Weg zu einem Zoo der Zukunft. Seit knapp neun Jahren wird der 1955 gegründete und 160 Hektar große Tierpark Berlin zu einem naturnahen Geozoo umgebaut. Um einen Einblick in den Lebensraum der einzelnen Tierarten und deren Interaktionen, Besonderheiten und Problematiken zu ermöglichen, werden die Tiere im Tierpark größtenteils nach geografischen Gesichtspunkten zu sehen sein.

Around 15 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by savannahs. This makes them one of the largest and most important habitats on the planet. Since 26 May 2023, visitors to Tierpark Berlin have been given an insight into this fascinating landscape and can learn more about the different inhabitants of the East African savannah and their natural habitat.
A true highlight of the new zoo savannah is the 120-metre-long giraffe trail: here, guests will be able to meet the up to five-metre-high graces of the savannah at eye level in future - those who dare will make their way through the forest to the viewing platforms via an adventurous suspension bridge. With the opening of the African Savannah Landscape, Tierpark Berlin has reached a new milestone on its way to becoming a zoo of the future. For almost nine years, the 160-hectare Tierpark Berlin, which was founded in 1955, has been transformed into a near-natural geozoo. In order to provide an insight into the habitat of the individual animal species and their interactions, peculiarities and problems, the animals in the zoo will largely be seen according to geographical aspects.

I was struck by the many pictures of 'boneyards' or 'graveyards' of grounded, parked planes, after a past hometown started a business attracting planes for storage in its dry desert atmosphere. Covid-19 creates some strange and unusual business opportunities but also tells us something about the consequences of changes in our environments. Although I'm an optimist, this is my 'dismal toile'.

Mrs Rowteight and I spent last week on holiday in furthest Cornwall, the Penwith area beyond Penzance. I took the opportunity to book a workshop with Joe Rainbow, whose landscape work I very much admire. The idea was to learn something of his technique and approach to low light landscape work and composition, so we deliberately booked the session at Porth Nanven for 4:30, in the hope of getting interesting light and maybe a sunset. In the event we had the worst weather of the week, worsening from light drizzle to thick fog, which made the drive back to the cottage through thick fog interesting to say the least.
Despite the weather I learnt a lot and hope to put the technical and compositional advice Joe gave me to good use. He's a good teacher, and very knowledgeable both technically and in terms of composition, being an artist by training. He's also well equipped with filters and polarisers and other good stuff (or was till recently -see his comments below). I can certainly recommend a workshop with him, which he'll happily tailor to your specific requirements.

If you don't know yet, Wage got a dog and life with Uglydog is fun. He eats, he jumps, he fetches, he eats, he chews on furniture, he chases squirrels, he eats. All to be expected. But there is one thing I didn't expect. Wage finally stopped saying "bite me" every time I ask him for anything. He is afraid Uglydog, who is always around, may take it literally.

Carmen granadino
Actualmente, un carmen es una tipología de vivienda urbana típica de la ciudad de Granada (España), con un espacio verde anexo, jardín y huerta a la vez.
El carmen es un espacio cerrado al exterior, cercado por tapias de cierta altura, normalmente blanqueadas, con vegetación frondosa. Es propio de los barrios asentados en las colinas de la ciudad, Albaicín y Realejo. No es únicamente jardín, ni únicamente huerto y por lo general, no es finca de lujo, sino pequeña finquita unitaria.
Currently, Carmen is a typical type of urban housing in the city of Granada (Spain), with an attached green space, garden and orchard at once.
The carmen is a closed outer space, enclosed by fences of a certain height, usually bleached, with lush vegetation.

A Santa Fe boxcar keeping a watchful eye along the highway. Because the moon was behind some thick rain clouds, the scene was actually rather dark, and I spent some extra time illuminating the ground and surrounding area as well as the interior and exterior of the boxcar so it wouldn't appear to be floating in a black void. This was photographed during a week-long 1582-mile night photography road trip with Mike Cooper.
