Our lake in November. Usually this month looks dull and grey, this year we enjoy t-shirt weather and green grass. Gross Aschen, Lower Saxony, Germany
My definition of beauty is simplicity, elegance, and sensuality. I think that when a woman is in harmony with herself and remains true to her values, she will glow naturally..

Aging has been defined as the collection of changes that render beings progressively more likely to die
Under the rug
Old shadows inside
Wait for their moment
They plan their surprise
A confetti supply
When I'm feeling feeble
I swear that it won't happen again
There's nobody else
We've become lost
Shine lights in the past
No sign of way out
Our cryptic love
With time it gets worse
It builds up behind us
I swear it won't happen again
There's nobody else
I swear that it won"t happen again.
i looked down from the summit
and what did i see? me.
for as far as the eyes could see... only me,
me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
i hope our european friends realize
we still wanna be friends...
we can play nice.

In a biogeographic definition, paramo is any intertropical mountain ecosystem, characterized by shrubby vegetation that generally occurs from altitudes of about 3,000 to 4,000 meters or up to 5,000 meters, that is, in regions above the forest line. continuous but still below the permanent snow line. It is found in East Africa, New Guinea, and Central and South America. However, since in each of these regions this ecosystem has a specific name, when discussing Paramos, we refer specifically to Andean Paramos.
In this strict sense of the term, all Paramos are located in the neotropical zone, mainly in northwestern South America, present in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. The ecosystem occupies over 30,000 km² of South America and represents 7% of Ecuador's territory. In absolute terms, Colombia is home to 50% of the extent of Paramos (in its three branches of the Andes) and the largest Paramo in the world (Sumapaz).
Paramos' climate is characterized by wide daily fluctuations in temperature and humidity. In general, cold and humid, can undergo a sudden and drastic change in which temperatures fluctuate from below freezing to 30 ° C plus in a daily freeze-thaw cycle. High altitude in tropical locations produces a special, cold, low air density atmosphere that allows for greater dispersion of ultraviolet radiation (light and heat). This climate can be summed up in the phrase "winter every night and summer every day."
In Paramo ecosystems, soils are generally recent, of glacial and volcanic origin, and many are still in formation. Its structure is a combination of organic material that decomposes very slowly in cold weather with volcanic ash. They usually have low pH (acidity) because of the abundance of moisture and high content of organic matter. These characteristics contribute to soil water retention, which in turn is the basis of an essential environmental service: the constant storage and distribution of clean water to lower places.
The largest and most known area is the Páramo grass, which covers large areas of the mountain ranges. It extends from approximately 3,500 to 4,100 m in height, and is mainly composed of grasses and small shrubs.
No definition tonight though I was tempted to add one to this shot. Perhaps I will do another "defined" version at a later date :-)
This is a Lancewood (NZ native) tree that grows in our garden, it has a long slender trunk and tuft of leaves at the top. It's probably about 3 -4 metres tall ( I am hopeless at estimating heights). The juvenile form is quite different from this, you would hardly tell it was the same plant.
I am going to be away for the next couple of days so I will wish you all a wonderful weekend now.

**🎬 Prompt :**
Un paysage de campagne idyllique baigné par une lumière dorée de fin d’après-midi, capturé en **ultra haute définition 8K**, rendu **hyperréaliste**, avec une **profondeur de champ cinématographique (bokeh doux en arrière-plan)**. Au centre du cadre flotte une **masse nuageuse dense et cotonneuse**, d’un blanc éclatant, suspendue à quelques mètres au-dessus d’un champ de fleurs sauvages multicolores.
De ce nuage s’écoule une **pluie inversée de fleurs vivantes** : marguerites, cosmos, asters, fleurs des champs aux teintes vibrantes (rose fuchsia, jaune doré, violet profond, blanc pur). Les tiges et pétales tombent lentement, comme en apesanteur, animés par une brise légère. Chaque fleur est rendue avec une précision microscopique (textures des pétales, pollen visible, micro-gouttelettes de rosée captant la lumière).
Le soleil, positionné en haut à gauche du cadre, diffuse des **rayons volumétriques spectaculaires (god rays)** à travers le nuage, créant des jeux d’ombres subtils et une atmosphère presque divine. Le ciel est d’un bleu pur, ponctué de quelques nuages diffus en arrière-plan.
Le décor environnant montre des **collines verdoyantes ondulantes**, avec une végétation riche et naturelle, capturée avec un rendu photoréaliste (herbes détaillées, variation de teintes, mouvement subtil du vent). Quelques arbres encadrent la scène sur les côtés, leurs feuilles illuminées par le soleil, avec un léger effet de **lens flare cinématographique**.
Ambiance globale : **poétique, surréaliste mais crédible**, comme une scène issue d’un film de Terrence Malick ou d’un rêve éveillé. Atmosphère pure, lumineuse, presque magique, sans éléments humains.

**🎬 Prompt:**
An idyllic countryside landscape bathed in warm golden-hour light, captured in **ultra-high-definition 8K**, with **hyperrealistic rendering** and a **cinematic depth of field (soft bokeh in the background)**. At the center of the frame floats a **dense, cotton-like cloud**, bright white and voluminous, hovering a few meters above a vibrant wildflower meadow.
From this cloud cascades an **upside-down rainfall of living flowers**: daisies, cosmos, asters, and assorted wildflowers in vivid tones (fuchsia pink, golden yellow, deep violet, pure white). The flowers drift downward slowly, as if gravity has softened its grip, their stems and petals swaying gently in a light breeze. Each bloom is rendered with microscopic detail (petal texture, visible pollen, tiny dew droplets catching the sunlight).
The sun, positioned in the upper-left corner, casts **dramatic volumetric rays (god rays)** through the cloud, creating delicate shadow interplay and an almost divine glow. The sky is a rich, clear blue, with a few soft clouds scattered in the distance.
The surrounding environment reveals **rolling green hills**, lush and expansive, with highly detailed vegetation (individual blades of grass, subtle color variation, natural wind movement). A few trees frame the scene on both sides, their leaves glowing in the sunlight, enhanced by a subtle **cinematic lens flare**.
Overall mood: **poetic, surreal yet believable**, like a scene from a Terrence Malick film or a lucid dream. The atmosphere feels pure, radiant, and quietly magical, with no human presence.

When you measure time by millenia everything looks different. Amur Honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) an invasive wild honeysuckle, by current human definitions anyway, is wrecking havoc along woodland edges in much of the Eastern United States. Helped, in part, by the birds who love the berries and the butterflies who love the flowers. And, although each has missed the bigger picture of how this new addition to the forest is pushing out native species and harming the ecosystem it seems to serve their immediate needs.
But Nature thinks in millenia - not years, or decades, (...or terms of office), or even centuries.
And in even one millenia (a thousand years) the Amur Honeysuckle will be a shadow of its current self. The ecosystem itself will have embraced it, dismantled it, remolded it, co-evolved with it, and it will be a productive, sustaining member of that system - supporting and nurturing all life. :)

The fourth in my series wherein I attempted to define the 'space' of a particular location, not necessarily trying to take a picture of any one subject or element.
Here a fenced off demolition site where I had to lean in through an opening in the fence.

Took the 5Ds out with me earlier. The definition is quite something.

Against those who rejoice in every dogmatic definition as a new limitation which restricts the meaning of such and such a dogma to what is contained in this formula [and] nothing more. Who desire to have more and more formulas, more and more limitations, so that in the end everything is narrowed down to a minimum of meaning which must be held. On the contrary, dogmatic definitions set limits beyond which error cannot pass, but does not set limits to truth, in the sense of forbidding a dogma to mean more than is envisioned in a given formula.
