To be on your own, with no direction home
A complete unknown, like a rolling stone"

(...).....Gail and I stood at the dock until after sunset, sitting on a bench just in front of the boat, staring for hours, like two children who had received a much desired gift, but you would never have dreamed of having.
We were a bit 'scared and not quite sure what we had decided to do. But imagine that it was normal to feel some dismay when it faces a radical transformation of its existence, when you are leaving what Gail and I called 'protected area', that area circumscribed in their own personal universe in which reigns routine and you feel safe because everything is familiar and predictable. When you are about to crossing the borders to venture into the unknown, it's as though it were missing the ground under their feet.....(....)

La BB 7355 est cliquée dans la commune d'Argentine hissant un court train vers Modane avec en toile de fond le grand Arc surplombant l'entrée de la belle vallée de la Maurienne.
In these turbulent times in Europe, it is important to listen to your inner compass and stay centered, rather than radically changing direction.
Same direction bt Hoobastank, is just a reference to the fact I always walk this beach in the same direction. There's always different options though depending on the state of the tide, and on this evening, there wasn't a breath of wind, so the rock pools were like mirrors.
Après un petit séjour à Lourdes, ce train de pèlerin quitte Modane et reprend la direction d'Asti avec une E402.
Mardi 20 avril 2021, c'est sous un ciel commençant à se couvrir que la G2000 n°1637 appartenant à GTF qui passe sous mon objectif avec à son crochet 3 V212 à destination de l'Italie.
Le convois est vue dans la courbe de Commelle Vernay, tout proche de Roanne, dont ce dessine la ville en arrière-plan. En cette fin de journée d'avril avec un train reliant Vierzon à Sibelin.

Happy Macro Monday to all flickr friends, HMM

Enter any size garden and I’m sure if you look in “Any Direction” you’ll be amongst beautiful colors and contrasts. I will spend plenty of time in the coming weeks in my gardens weeding and trimming. The end result is worth the effort. Thanks for viewing my work. Time to wash my 🙏’s again.... Be safe and kind...

One of the photographers that I enjoy following within the Flicker labyrinth is André Fantelin who glides between streets and museums finding perceptions and re-perception by chance fascination. A precise photographer of colour and exposure who takes the trouble to keep his captor fully parallel with the main element of the subject - putting many like me to shame. There is a term made popular by the philosopher Walter Benjamin which is to be a 'flâneur' - which I define as to have an "objective sans direction" - a oblique method with very precise results. Always varied and always interesting (and a photographer who is tolerant of prehistory and adventures of text and logic), so much so that he dedicated a fantastic shot to my prehistoric photostream. Wanting to redress the balance of equality, I spent quite an amount of time trying to work out what his homage might look like, with this being the result. The image is not layered and comes with the simplest salt and pepper of post production.

Sastrugi
Sastrugi, or zastrugi, are features formed by erosion of snow by wind. They are found in polar regions, and in snowy, wind-swept areas of temperate regions, such as frozen lakes or mountain ridges. Sastrugi are distinguished by upwind-facing points, resembling anvils, which move downwind as the surface erodes. These points usually lie along ridges parallel to the prevailing wind; they are steep on the windward side and sloping to the leeward side. Smaller irregularities of this type are known as ripples (small, ~10 mm high) or wind ridges.
Large sastrugi are troublesome to skiers and snowboarders. Traveling on the irregular surface of sastrugi can be very tiring, and can risk breaking equipment—ripples and waves are often undercut and the surface is hard and unforgiving, with constant minor topographic changes between ridge and trough.
Etymology
The words sastrugi and zastrugi are Russian-language plurals; the singular is zastruga. The form sastruga started as the German-language transliteration of the Russian word заструга (plural: заструги).
A Latin-type analogical singular sastrugus is used in various writings on exploration of the South Pole, including Robert Falcon Scott's expedition's diaries and Ernest Shackleton's The Heart of the Antarctic.
Formation mechanism
White and black colors on sastrugi are not lights and shadows, they demonstrate difference in radioreflectivity of snow deposits on the windward and leeward sides of a sastruga.
Under the action of steady wind, free snow particles accumulate and drift like the sand grains in barchan dunes, and the resulting drifting snow shapes are also popularly referred to as barchans. Inuit of Canada call them kalutoqaniq. When winds slacken, the drifted formations consolidate via sublimation and recrystallization. Subsequent winds erode kalutoqaniq into the sculptured forms of sastrugi. Inuit call large sculpturings kaioqlaq and small ripples tumarinyiq. Further erosion may turn kaioqlaq back into drifting kalutoqaniq. An intermediate stage of erosion is mapsuk, an overhanging shape. On the windward side of a ridge, the base erodes faster than the top, producing a shape like an anvil tip pointing upwind.
On sea ice
Sastrugi are more likely to form on first-year sea ice than on multiyear ice. First-year ice is smoother than multiyear ice, which allows the wind to pass uniformly over the surface without topographic obstructions. Except during the melt season, snow is dry and light in climates cold enough for sea ice, allowing the snow to be easily blown and create sastrugi parallel to the wind direction. The locations of sastrugi are fixed by March in the northern hemisphere and may be linked to the formation of melt ponds. Melt ponds are more likely to form in the depressions between sastrugi on first-year ice.
