Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now
Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning 'round inside my head
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now
I've been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to get some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far?
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now

This song sparrow was telling me the reason I shouldn't approach any further on the path. Unfortunately, I had too far to go to return back the way I came, so it eventually had to be the one to yield.
A brand new year. It's up to us how it would be.
So let's think twice how we influence our surroundings. If everyone would be a bit more loving and careful and less indifferent about their fellow humans,-creatures and -places, it could become the best year ever.
It's up to us.

It began like a horror B-movie: one wrong turn and we were suddenly inside Lærdalstunnelen (the longest road tunnel in the world, and we really had no idea)
Midway through, a police officer stepped out and stopped us - no other cars, no explanation, and he didn’t speak a word of English. Just silence and tunnel hum (and me, claustrophobic).
Then something emerged from the darkness… a maintenance vehicle.
The officer waved us on, and ten minutes later we were back in the daylight - the best happy end ever.
The only explanation needed is being in a waking dream that takes you on a ride through endless colors and beauty.

The dutch wetlands , the grienden III
In the Netherlands we have our own wetlands, looe a bit like a tropical swamp in the summer heat, while in spring time, one can enjoy the special shapes of the willow trees.
The grienden close to our home and in this serie are the Carnisse grienden.
The explanation below comes from: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griend_(beplanting)
A griend or ham is a moist field on which willow wood is grown. Friends were exploited on a large scale until around 1960, after which the demand for griendhout fell sharply so that many friends were no longer maintained. Sometimes they got the status of nature reserve. The reintroduction of the beaver in the Netherlands was an attempt to achieve a natural management of the friends.
Because of the possibility to grow biofuels, they have been in the spotlight again since 2010.
Location
Friends often lay along the sea inlets on the dikes outside the dykes and in the rivers of South Holland and Noord-Brabant, especially the Biesbosch. Due to land reclamation, most of them have now often been located within the dykes, with the exception of, for example, the Rhoonse Grienden. The plantations outside the dykes are subject to tidal movement of the water level. That is why these friends were often provided with a friendly hill; a small mound with a griendkeet on it. This was a simple place where the griend workers could spend the night; they often stayed with the griend all week. Simple houseboats were also used for the same purpose.
Cultivation
The trees were planted and regularly dropped about 25 cm above the ground. New branches grew from the stumps. An annually disposed griend was called cut friend, doubtful or doubtful. The thin twigs were especially suitable for making baskets. Friends who were harvested every five years were called 'heel friends'. The heavier branches were suitable for many purposes, from stems for tools to the braiding of zinc pieces.
“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
C.S. Lewis

Wintersection....
Every once in while I like to pour through my photo archives looking for the one or two that got away, yesterday was one of those days; I was home alone and spent the better part of the day reminiscing and remembering some of the adventures Karen and I have been on. I pulled several images that on second sight caught my eye. I will post two today and perhaps when I have time post a few of the others. Each is wonderful in its own right and can stand on its own as a strong image. I love images that tell a visual story that really do not depend on a lot of explanation.
this image taken after a weather event in February of 2016. the ice hung heavy on the branches...making for a beautiful winter wonderland....
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

A candid street style Snap captured two women chatting. One appeared to be explaining something to the other.
I'm Just A Guy With A Camera From London And Some Place Else.
I haven't posted about an alley in a while now. I'd like to change that today and link it to this (in my opinion) good and positive wisdom that spontaneously came to mind when I looked at the photo yesterday.
I'm sure everyone knows situations that this quote refers to, so I'll refrain from further explanation today.
This avenue, by the way, is also located between Neustadt in saxony and Sebnitz, just a few meters from "our" Cherry Alley, on the other side of the street.
I was actually there to try to recreate this exact composition. But since the sun once again decided to set in the "wrong" spot, that wasn't possible.
On the way back to the car, I walked toward this row of trees (from the opposite side), turned around, and realiced that the angle of incidence was perfect.
My own little and rather unspectacular "light at the end of the tunnel" story.
Ich hab lange keine Allee mehr gepostet. Das möchte ich jetzt ändern und gleich mit dieser (meiner Meinung nach) guten und positives Weißheit verknüfen, die mir spontan in den Sinn gekommen ist, als ich das Foto gestern betrachtet habe.
Ich bin sicher, dass jeder Situationen kennt, auf die dieses Zitat abzielt, also verzichte ich heute mal auf weitere Erklärungen.
Diese Allee befindet sich übrigens ebe3nfalls zwischen Neustadt in Sachsen und Sebnitz, nur wenige Meter von "unserer" Kirschallee entfernt, auf der anderen Strassenseite.
Eigentlich war ich dort um zu versuchen exakt diese Komposition umzusetzen. Doch da die Sonne mal wieder entschieden hat an der "falschen" Stelle unter zu gehen, war das nicht möglich.
Auf dem Weg zurück zum Auto lief ich dann auf diese Baumreihe zu (von der gegenüberliegenden Seite), drehte mich noch einmal um und so, dass dass mit dem Einfallswinkel hier perfekt passt.
Meine eigene kleine und recht unspektakuläre "Licht am Ende des Tunnels-Geschichte".
The western half of the Kyle RR line is littered with derelict ABS searchlight signals. They harken back to the days of a much busier line of the Rock Island Railroad. This was part of their main line to Limon, Colorado, where trains could operate to either Colorado Springs or Denver.
In 1946 an ABS type signal system was completed on 485 miles of track between South Omaha, Nebraska and Limon, Colorado. It was a "poor mans" version with station to station blocks at roughly eight-mile increments. This reduced the costs of placing more signals to protect shorter blocks. Blocks in excess of the eight miles did receive a set of intermediate signals half the distance of that block. Single approach signals warning of each of the station-entering signals were placed at an appropriate braking distance in advance of each station. The Rock's signal engineers at the time were looking at the system's use more for speed and cost effectiveness than traffic capacity.
I hope this condensed explanation is coherent enough. It is put together from a book in my collection "Rock Island Westward" by T.R. Lee, and from a very detailed article in "Railway Signaling" sent to me by my friend Ron Wesolowski.
One cooperative behaviour you may see honey bees do is clump together at the entrance to a hive in an attempt to regulate the temperature or humidity within the hive. That is typically done on hot and/or humid days. The clumping is called bearding in the bee-keeping parlance.
This image was taken on a very cool morning, so heat wasn't an issue. There was lots of dew, so maybe humidity was a problem.
In trying to figure out what I was seeing, I checked out a few websites. The Honey Bee Suite site seemed to offer the best explanation: "Once the bees begin to finish their work in late summer, you are more apt to see bearding, especially in large colonies. This occurs because the cells are already full of nectar, but summer dearth means flowers are scarce, so no new cells are needed. Simply put, the bees are left with nothing to do.
Too many bees in the hive block air flow, which slows down the drying of nectar, so the bees hang around outside. New beekeepers often misread this behavior as preparation for swarming, but it has nothing to do with swarming. In fact, many of these bees will die at the ends of their natural adult lives of four-to-six weeks, and most will not be replaced in order to bring the colony down to a manageable winter population.
Then too, bearding often increases after the beekeeper removes honey supers, thus forcing the bees into a smaller space. Since there isn’t enough room indoors, the bees stay outside, just doing their thing."
In this case, two hives were exhibiting the behaviour, and both looked to have been downsized recently, meaning the extra summer storage areas for honey and pollen (supers) have been removed by the bee keeper. So, perhaps I happened to show up when there was simply no room in the hive and all these bees were just hanging out at the entrance.
If anyone knows of other explanations for this behaviour, please share your knowledge.

Sound of warm joy of living

Explanation of THE ONE
Happy Easter everyone. I thought this might be an uplifting song for Easter morning in the light of the challenges our world faces right now - continuing COVID, the war in Ukraine threatening to get even worse and difficult economic times. There is a small explanation of what the song is about at the end of the lyrics. The shot was taken at Bribie Island in SE Queensland. The link will take you to the youtube video. This song was used as the closing theme in the very funny movie "Bridesmaids" which also had some great messages.
Hold On Lyrics (With thanks to Genius)
I know this pain (I know this pain)
Why do you lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can change your life except for you
Don't ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind
Is it really fair to feel this way inside?
Someday, somebody's gonna make you wanna
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then, baby, are you gonna let them
Hold you down and make you cry?
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change?
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day?
Things'll go your way
Hold on for one more day
You could sustain
Or are you comfortable with the pain?
You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess
Lettin' your worries pass you by
Don't you think it's worth your time
To change your mind?
Ooh, no
Someday, somebody's gonna make you wanna
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then, baby, are you gonna let them
Hold you down and make you cry?
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change?
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day?
Things'll go your way
Hold on for one more day
I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and
Break free from the chains
Yeah, I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and you
Break free, break from the chains
Someday, somebody's gonna make you wanna
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then, baby, are you gonna let them
Hold you down and make you cry?
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change?
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day, yeah
If you hold on
Don't you know things can change?
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
If you hold on
Can you hold on?
Hold on, baby
Won't you tell me now?
Hold on for one more day 'cause
It's gonna go your way
Don't you know things can change?
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day, yeah
Can't you change it this time?
Thanks to Genius for the Lyrics.

The song emphasizes the importance of persevering in spite of obstacles and not let the situation consume you. Everything will be alright in the end.

I believe that an orderly universe, one indifferent to human preoccupations, in which everything has an explanation even if we still have a long way to go before we find it, is a more beautiful, more wonderful place than a universe tricked out with capricious ad hoc magic.
