Gates of Melancholy

This has been a summer for the record books with unprecedented heat and days without rain. It is so very worrying. Traveling with visiting family to Hurricane Ridge in the heart of the Olympic National Park near where we live, I was amazed at the lack of snow - I have never seen it like this. It breaks my heart. The park service was actually irrigating the alpine meadows around the visitor center - they were so dry!

So sorry to see her disappear.

Fog, ice, snow and dark gray sky made Lake Michigan "disappear" into grayness. But I was sure it was still there, even though I couldn't see it : ) Most of the ice and snow probably melted a couple of days after our trip.

If rising sea levels continue unabated, shorebirds will continue to lose substantial amounts of feeding and breeding habitats. This in turn will lead to large reductions in their populations. We need species diversity to maintain any kind of balanced and healthy environment. The long term effect of species loss will not be good for us.

First rays of sunshine strike an exposed rock below the Point Imperial, the highest vantage point at Gran Canyon Northrim, 8803 feet (about 2,600 m) shortly after 6 am.

The Sancti Petri lighthouse is located on the coast of Cádiz in southern Spain. This day was special because of the color that the clouds acquired just as the sun disappeared.

I am going to be off Flickr for a few weeks for personal reasons. I'll see you sometime in October....

While in Victoria, I was on a hike with family at Tod Inlet. One of my family members, who is also a photographer but didn't bring his camera, called out to me that it was my lucky day and I better get down to the water. From where I was, I could see it was covered in fog. By the time I ran down to the water, there was a thin line of fog left, as it was moving away quickly. I would suggest you don't zoom in, as the image is a bit blurry. I think, in my excitement, I got a bit of camera shake trying to get the images before the fog disappeared :)

(From my experience though, if you tell someone not to do something, they will anyway :) )

John Mayall: Nature's Disappearing

Man's a filthy creature

Raping the land and water and the air

Tomorrow may be too late

Now's the time that you must be aware

Nature's disappearing

Polluted death is coming, do you care

Garbage going nowhere

Soon the dumps will spread to your front door

Lakes and rivers stagnant

Nothing lives or grows like years before

Nature's disappearing

The world you take for granted soon no more

Read about pollution

Make manufacturers uncomfortable

Boycott at the market

Containers that are non-returnable

Aluminum, glass and plastic

Eternal waste that's not destructible

We're a generation

That may live out our natural time

But as for all our children

Born to suffocate in human slime

Nature's disappearing

And we are guilty of this massive crime

www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzUVk1Fho5g

"Where the river runs to black,

I take the schoolbooks from your pack.

Plastics, wire and your kiss,

the breath of eternity on your lips.

In the crowded marketplace,

I drift from face to face,

I hold my breath and close my eyes

I hold my breath and close my eyes.

And I wait for paradise

And I wait for paradise

The Virginia hills have gone to brown.

Another day, another sun going down.

I visit you in another dream

I visit you in another dream

I reach and feel your hair,

your smell lingers in the air.

I brush your cheek with my fingertips,

I taste the void upon your lips.

And I wait for paradise

And I wait for paradise

I search for you on the other side,

where the river runs clean and wide.

Up to my heart, the waters rise

Up to my heart, the waters rise

I sink beneath the river cool and clear.

Drifting down, I disappear.

I see you on the other side.

I search for the peace in your eyes.

But they're as empty as paradise,

they're as empty as paradise

I break above the waves,

I feel the sun upon my face"

Crept out of our accommodation at 7am whilst staying at Bognor Regis. Sun only visible for five minutes before disappearing into cloud.

Say I'm crying

I'm looking at what's on TV

Pain and suffering

And the struggle to be free

It can't ever be denied

And I never will ignore

But when I see you coming

I can take it all

.....I'm trying to get out

Find a subtle way out

Not just cross myself out

Not just disappear

I've been trying to stay out

But there's something in you

I can't be without

I just need it here......

I love the unique and majestic sight of an iceberg sculptured by the elements. May future generations get to enjoy them.

Sunset from Curbar Edge, Peak District, Derbyshire, England.

After a few rainy days the snow disappeared. Many fields are still green.

Aasleagh (in Irish Eas Liath) is the name of an Irish waterfall in the northern Connemara. He becomes by the river Erriff (Ir. In Oirimh) fed and is shortly before the mouth of the river in the Killary fjord northeast of the place Leenaun on the border of the counties Galway and Mayo. The name decreases to the originally Irish naming Eas Liath. Eas is the waterfall and liath the colour calls grey, translates „grey waterfall“.

The Aasleagh waterfall was exact like the place Leenaun, the film scenery for the film rotated in 1990 "The Field" with Richard Harris.

Aasleagh is under the spectacles of nature Connemaras a popular photo motive for the visitors. near the waterfall Lodge, a country house from the 18th century which is pursued today by the regional fishing management as fishing lodge is Aasleagh. The waters of the Erriff are famous for her salmons.

After the Ulster cycle of the Irish mythology should have disappeared both favorite horses of the hero Cú Chulainn, Liath Macha and Dub Sainglenn, from which Linn Liaith („grey pool“) appeared and after his death again in it. – argumentative – localisation associates this place with the Eas Liath.

Die kleine Kirche gehört sicher zu einem der fotografischen Highlights der Region bei Bled in Slowenien. Die Lage ist so außergewöhnlich exponiert, dass man sie im Tal schon aus vielen Kilometern sehen kann. Die Umgebung, das Tal und die Berge, machen dies zu einem außergewöhnlichen Ort. Bei meinem Besuch gab es leider keine Wolken, Nebel oder spektakuläre Farben zum Sonnenuntergang. Die Sonne verschwindet zu dieser Jahreszeit hinter einem Berg, bereits 1,5 Stunden vor Sonnenuntergang.

The small church is certainly one of the photographic highlights in Slovenia. The location is so extraordinarily exposed that you can see it from many kilometers down in the valley. The surroundings, the valley and the mountains, make this an exceptional place. Unfortunately, when I visited there were no clouds, fog or spectacular colors at sunset. The sun disappears behind a mountain at this time of year, 1.5 hours before sunset.

thank you so much for stopping by! i appreciate all kind of feedback. happy sunday :)))

West Carroll Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Strange little street in the middle of River North where pedestrians are prohibited. Carroll Avenue continues underground for a few blocks and disappears from maps like an underground river.

This is Balmaceda Glacier at the head of Última Esperanza Sound, in the south portion of Bernardo O'Higgins National Park, Chile. The glacier once flowed into the sound but is now retreating like most of the world's glaciers.

Before the sun disappeared behind the clouds there was a last blast of sunlight on the houses opposite Bosham Quay.

The beetles are 3.5 to 4.5 millimeters long, They have a great variety of color forms: well over 100 color and pattern variations. Some of these color forms differ to the extent that at first they were thought to be separate species.

The background coloration ranges from cream through yellow to light orange, but not red. Usually there are 14 black, almost rectangular spots on the elytra, but only rarely are all of these spots separate from one another. Most commonly, several of the spots are fused into larger markings, particularly along the midline, where they often create a shape resembling an anchor, sometimes fusing to such an extent that the yellow disappears almost completely, rendering the body almost entirely black except for 12 pale yellow spots.

The pronotum is whitish or pale yellow, with four to eight black spots. The antennae and legs are yellowish-brown.

🎼🎶...::: 오 사랑아 :::...

Oh love, please hold on a little more

I am the kind of person

who dives into love too easily.

please hang in there a little bit more.

My dear

why is your gaze fixed on the rim of me?

My dear

why your voice

comes into my mind

without any warning?

Why does it bring me such sorrow?

Gathering all the pieces of the moments

that are disappearing.

Please allow me to find

the moments that I can return to.

Gathering all the love

that is disappearing.

Please allow me to find the love

so I can go onto.

My dear

why your presence

makes me feel so small

that I'm in unbareable pain.

Getting rid of all the hatred

that keep falling on me.

For the sake of my forlorn life

please allow me to love you.

I'm that kind of person who gets

torn by love too easily.

This is a photo I took close to where I live on a very misty day in the forest. Those trees are always very impressive but only in those misty conditions, was I able to separate them from the cluttered background.
