Depression and BiPolar

I'm starting a new series in which I try to portray different mental disorders, or the emotions of the person affected behind them.
Today depression.
AI composition.
It's weird how and when depression can hit you, because sometimes it comes out of nowhere. Sometimes everything can be going great in your life, better than they've ever been, and out of no where wham! Like a big rig slamming into you it just hits, you don't know why, there's nothing "wrong", nothing happened, you just all of a sudden feel down.
It's hard to even talk about, because what is there to say? Someone asks what's wrong, and the only response that really comes to mind is "I don't know". What do you do when it hits, when you're not a person who goes through it regularly enough to have a fix ready? When you're someone who doesn't take medication, or have a therapist, and you're just all of a sudden just feeling like complete and utter shit despite nothing you can think of being wrong?
I have answers for a lot of life's questions, I try to share them with you every day to help those who need it, this though is one I still haven't figured out.

Take thee even or take thee odd, I would not sleep here if I could,
Except for the memories and the stillness that now resides.

The gentle depression of the ancient earthwork, Grimms Ditch, leads through the land of the beech trees. Love how those on the slope gently curve upwards making for some wonderful compositions. Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire.
During the Depression era (1930s) in the United States, farming families, including my own, faced immense challenges and hardships. The combination of severe drought, poor farming practices, and economic collapse led to widespread crop failures and dust storms that ravaged the agricultural heartland.

Sometimes I just wanna shoot something scenic. Through the eye of the lens even things decayed have a natural beauty about them.

Hakuba is a municipality located to the north of Azumino Valley. It is in the same tectonic depression called Fossa Magna (Itoigawa - Shizuoka Tectonic Line) as Azumino and Suwa, but in the different watershed of the Himekawa (姫川) river that rises in Hakuba and flows northward into the Sea of Japan. Hakuba municipality calls the watershed Hakuba Valley.
Hakuba Valley is famous for the heavy snowfall in winter that is caused by the northwestern monsoon across the Sea of Japan. It is only 50km to Itoigawa (糸魚川) in Niigata prefecture (新潟県) on the Japan Sea coast. Hakuba and Otari (小谷), its northern neighbour, heavily depend on ski tourism.

This is one of many photos I’ve taken from the passenger seat as we drive twice each week to my neurofeedback appointments. This practice of seeing, appreciating and capturing my surroundings from the moving car can sometimes be very helpful for me.
This is long, but I found it fascinating.
30 million years ago a gigantic caldera was formed by the sudden collapse of overlying rock into an underground reservoir of molten rock. The resulting eruptions produced massive amounts of ash and debris which nearly refilled the depression. These deposits hardened into rock.
About a half million years ago flows of basalt lava poured into this area and capped it off. Over time, erosion by the Crooked River has exposed and sculpted the landscape that you see here. Nice work!
Wicked awesome as they would say in Beantown!!
From the DEEP website:
Another tale focuses on the potholes near the falls, which are some of the finest examples of pothole stone formations in this section of the country. Perfectly cylindrical, they range from inches to several feet in diameter and depth. These potholes were formed by stones moved downstream by the current and trapped in an eddy where the stone was spun around and around, wearing a depression in the rock. When the rock wore itself down, another would catch in the same hole and enlarge it. We know this now, but to the early settlers the potholes were a great mystery that they tried to explain with references to the supernatural. They thought that the Devil has passed by the falls, accidentally getting his tail wet. This made him so mad he burned holes in the stones with his hooves as he bounded away.

Since last night I'm feeling quite depressive because of the never ending nonsense named 'lockdown'.
Now everybody can proof that there isn't and wasn't a pandemic situation at all;
but governments don't end their course!
My power slowly goes away ...

When It All Falls Down.
The darkness tries taking over me at night
I’m not afraid anymore
I walked through the fire and I made it, I made it.
Got myself up off the floor
I was locked in a cage of my own damn state of mind
Depression don’t you call
Depression don’t you call
You’ll get a busy tone
The darkness tries takin over me at night
‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.
Yeah
When it all falls
I’m not ashamed anymore
When my light fades away, I won’t fake it, won’t fake it
Cause now I know I’m not alone
Everybody got their own shit, bad days, pain to face
Depression makes you small
Until you see you’re powerful
The darkness tries takin over me at night
‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.
Yeah
The darkness tries takin over me at night
‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.
Yeah
When it all falls down.

This can be a tough time of the year for many people.
I know the devastation that depression can do to you and your loved ones.
I took 32 images of this composition, I achieved this photo after the 6th image and another 26 images chasing a recreation of the effect, I didn’t, I came close but no cigar. I didn’t envisage this photo before I took it, it was the result of experimentation. The composition of a single exposed rock was chosen to line up with mist muted sun radiating across the sea using a reverse ND grad. Right exposure but the shutter speed was too fast so I added a 6 stop ND filter, this slowed the shutter speed from 1/10 of a sec to 1.3 seconds with a couple of tweaks of the ISO, then hey pesto this lovely whirlpool effect around the rock, as soon the dark image flashed on the lcd I knew I had something, it was a bit different and so I found out not to be repeated. Have a nice weekend.
During the Great Depression my mother’s parents did everything they could think of to keep their family fed and sheltered. Among other things Grandma became a dressmaker in their home and Grandpa made jewelry. My mother passed these earrings along to me before she died.

I composed this image of an abandoned historic farm building while visiting the hamlet of Rowley, Alberta (population 11), a place now characterized as an Alberta ghost town.
For those interested, the history of this town is presented below.
Rowley (like many other prairie towns) was settled around 1910 by the families of nearby farmers to efficiently collect and load farm products onto trains bound for Calgary. The soils in the Rowley region are ideal for agriculture due to their high fertility.
It wasn’t long before the town of Rowley became a hub of activity: large fields were planted, harvested, and transported through the Rowley train station. Between 1915 and 1929, the local farmers built stores, banks, and other services in town so that they didn’t have to travel long distances to get what they needed. A school, post office, and church were built and Rowley was officially connected by rail to the rest of the province.
The Great Depression experienced across the entirety of North America had no mercy on its relentless tear across western towns. Rowley was no exception to the struggles of widespread drought and market collapse.
The grain industry lost most of its value. Farmers – used to dealing with hardships – toughed the economic ruin out and did their best to provide for their families and continue building the community despite the market. Farmers who had overextended themselves upgrading their farms and livelihoods were left being unable to afford the upkeep of their farm and business in town began to close.
By the 1940s people started packing up their belongings and using that new train station to leave town. Rowley, Alberta was in decline. The municipal district office was moved out of Rowley and fires had leveled many homes and businesses.
When Alberta’s highway system was constructed in the 1950s, Rowley was bypassed entirely and left behind. These roads made it easy for young people to leave Rowley in favour of Drumheller, Calgary, or Edmonton. In the 1950s, both the hotel and curling rink burned down and were never replaced. The school and railway station both closed down in 1965.
A picnic table, the Lakeview Shelter (originally Lakefront Refectory), some trees, Lake Superior, and the first snow at Gooseberry Falls State Park.
The park is located in Castle Danger, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota.
My depressive peak that has been devastating me for several weeks seems to be coming to an end. It's a hard work on myself, and I wouldn't have the strength without my loved ones, and psychological help.
Pascal Quignard said that the only cure for depression is depression. To say it differently, I would say that the scars left by it are like the golden joints of the art of Kintsugi.

The Hawkes Bay Club is a very private entity reserved for the enjoyment of members and invited guests.
The Club House is a Heritage Listed Building, category 1, which has existed through two world wars, the great depression, the Napier earthquake, and many other momentous events in N.Z.
During the Depression, based on a false report of horrible mountain living conditions paid for by a developer hoping to get rich, the government moved folks from the Blue Ridge Mountains to create Shenandoah National Park. Some folks went to tiny government resettlement homes, while others moved in with family in the foothill villages of the mountains.
This is in one of those villages. It's a shabby little village defined by shabby Depression era buildings. An old-fashioned shabby country store sits on the village corner where you can get basic groceries, a great sandwich, beer, and hand-dipped ice cream. I took this photo from the parking area of the store, which lies to the left. On the right of the photo, is a rundown time-consumed house belonging to the store's owner. In between is this charming little yard, beautifully landscaped with an iconic entry, a shed built better than the house, a lovingly restored antique barn ventilator perched on top.
The soul of the man raised by parents who were among the displaced.
"Depression feels like something dark and rough, eating you from the inside. It feels like sharp, jagged rocks, forming from the inside of your heart. Slowly, piercing through every cell of your heart, jutting its way outside. Until finally... finally... it consumes you. Then, you become one with it"
