A rather turbulent looking and somewhat elongated cloud, skirts the surface of the ocean and touches the crest of Pender Island. Above and behind, the swift moving higher clouds also reveal a warm light. Just another pleasant day in Sechelt with some new discoveries including a lone duck.

NEW #PHOTO

K.Marinović - The Discovery
Hello #friends, here is my new shot called "The Discovery". It was taken at the same spot as my previous one, "Running To The Sun". It´s not very often that I upload a photo in color, but when I do, it´s usually a photo of a sunset because the colors are absolutely gorgeous at that time and it would be a shame to convert the photo in B&W. Taken with Tokina 12-24mm, edited in Lightroom and GIMP.
Have a lovely night!
Canadian Pacific 7045 and 8072 lead the northbound manifest 475-25 through the S curve and dike flood wall in the Lyons neighborhood, Clinton, IA. Taken along the Canadian Pacific Davenport Subdivision on 6/26/20.
Stay close, but let the children learn with their own.
Teaches them the way of curiosity and respect for the path they will walk and the people who will meet along it.
The ancient and sacred mound of the moon.
Probably…..maybe......
I mean I don’t know that, I just made it up, but it could be, it could have been back in the day, way before sheep farming and quad bikes became a stone age dream in a time when these hills were a playground for nature spirits and neolithic hunter grabbers who ran like the wind. Yes, I think back then it was probably revered as a place of moon worship. Think I'll notify the archaeo guys.
What’s that you say - yes of course I know I need evidence thank you very much, and I have it. I admit it is only circumstantial but very, very good circumstantial ……what’s more, you are looking at it right there. No, not the photograph but the fact - that isn’t a one off event you know, I’m not that lucky. No, it happens all the time over and over throughout the year, year after year, moon coming up right over that very mound and if dozy old Magoo is on to it don’t you think an ancient Celtic druid with mushroom enhanced vision and a beard like the tail of a comet would also be on the case? Stands to reason and he’d call it mound of the moon or similar.
I’ll bet they came from all parts to venerate it, thousands of them up there every month, high on adrenaline as the moon rose up, fires burning, drums beating, flickering flames daubed in mud and ochre, all howling, baying, cavorting and who knows what up there. I mean, there weren’t any police back then - just like with raves today …. Or if there were they were probably parked in front of someone else’s comfy fire dipping into the herbs or hassling healers - or more likely naked as babes and atop the hill with everyone else, sporting deer antlers, coming home stinking of grog and telling Mrs Neander-Plod they were doing heavy undercover work! Sigh - nothing new under the moon…..
And that sacred protector bird circling the mound tells me it may also have been a burial mound. I’d wander over there with a shovel myself and have a poke around but it’s an enormous hill and heck, I discovered it why should I have to do all the work - let the PhDs get some dirt under their nails and the smell of leather off their shiny pants.
Anyway, there you have it, my discovery, the Welsh ancient and sacred mound of the moon. I photographed it for you so that you can tell your friends and support it with proof.
You are most welcome. If you got this far - Merry Christmas.

I’m trawling the archives trying to delete some of the 28k images in LR but keep getting held up editing old ones. This is from the last ice festival in Lake Louise since the pandemic…..hoping it comes back in 2024. It’s by Team Japan, Junichi Nakamura and Shinichi Sawamura.
In a founding document about the Riverdale Center, Thomas wrote: Our method of study is principally the cultural-historical method. We wish to establish an awareness of human spiritual development. Back of the human venture, however, there is the living process of the Earth itself. Thus we wish to associate our work with the study of the Earth, with the emergence of life, the appearance of humans, the cultural formation of traditional societies, with the recent scientific-technological revolution in human affairs, and with the ecological equilibrium, which is being sought in the future.

Crater Lake and Whizard Island.
Crater Lake National Park, Oregon.
With a depth of 1,949 feet (594 m), the volcanic Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States. It was formed around 7.700 years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. As no rivers flow into (or out) the lake it is only refilled by rain or snowfall. Crater Lake is famous for its water clarity and its deep blue color.
Chimney Rock Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, New Mexico
Here is where Georgia O'Keeffe found the inspiration for her works of art. Ghost Ranch is a former dude ranch located on 21,000 acres of high desert landscape sixty-five miles northwest of Santa Fe. O’Keeffe first painted the purple hills of Ghost Ranch in 1934 and in 1936 she rented a house that she bought in 1940—an adobe hacienda at the base of the cliffs with a patio facing the distant mountains.
Ghost Ranch has been the source of major dinosaur discovery for decades. In the mid 1940s, Edwin “Ned” Colbert and George Whitaker found a quarry of bones belonging to Coelophysis bauri—a dino that was like a small version of the Tyrannosaurus rex and was probably roughly what all early dinosaurs looked like. The deposit was a rare discovery, and since then, more have been uncovered at the site and continue to be excavated.

The best part of discovery is getting lost, finding the right path home with every step forward.

Recently I had the chance to take a few road trips all by myself. I never really thought of that as something I'd want to do, but the freedom just to drive, with no timeline, and no certain destination is very freeing. I took turns sporadically, following the light, waiting for something to catch my eye.
As is the case when you travel solo, the selfie is often the only way to get a human subject into your images. The series of self portraits I'll be posting over the coming weeks are the beginnings of a collection of images that fit the theme of "self discovery." Maybe I will print a book for myself some day. For now, I get to learn a little bit about myself from each image I place myself in!

3 Maja / plac Cyryla Ratajskiego
There is still so much to be surprised by, so much to see, to do, to encounter as I wander through these streets and wait for it to unfold and present itself to me. Everyday is an adventure into beauty......
