We were getting a lot of lake effect snow and squalls this weekend. This fishing boat was coming back into the Meaford harbour just in the nick of time.

Of course, this rock formation that my path took me past, in the middle of the forest near Děčín in Bohemian Switzerland, is not "the" altar of nature, but just one of many.
When I wander through the forests or mountains, I always come across places that have a special, almost magical effect.
Sometimes they are such impressive formations. But sometimes it's just a small hill or a tree stump covered in moss.
In such places it is always easy for me to transport myself back to the time when the forests still covered half of Europe and were the home of my ancestors.
I can imagine that on special days or on certain occasions they gathered in places like these to perform religious rituals or just to sit here and seek contact with their ancestors in the light of a small campfire to ask for advice or guidance.
In places like these I regularly spend more time than I need to take a photo and like to use it for a coffee break. And while I'm sitting there, texts like this come to mind.
However, I have never had direct contact with anyone from my ancestry. This may be because my ancestors lived more than 100 km away from here and the local ancestors learned from their parents not to talk to strangers.
Natürlich ist diese Felsformation, an der mich mein Weg, mitten im Wald in der Nähe von Děčín in der Böhmischen Schweiz, vorbeigefürt hat nicht "Der" Altar der Natur, sondern nur einer von vielen.
Wenn ich durch die Wälder oder Berge streife, komme ich immer wieder an Orten vorbei, von denen eine besondere, ja fast magische Wirkung ausgeht.
Manchmal sind es solche, durchaus beeindruckenden Formationen. Doch machmal ist es auch nur ein kleiner Hügel oder ein mit Moos bedecker Baumstumpf.
An solchen Orten fällt es mir immer leicht, mich in die Zeit zurück zu versetzen, als die Wälder noch halb Europe bedeckten und die Heimat meiner Vorfahren waren.
Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass sie sich an besonderen Tagen oder zu bestimmten Anlässen an Orten wie diesem versammelt haben um religiöse Rituale zu veranstalten oder auch nur um hier zu sitzen und im Schein eines kleinen Lagerfeuers wiederum den Kontakt zu ihren Vorfahren zu suchen, um sie um Rat oder Anleitung zu befragen.
An Orten wie diesen verbringe ich dann regelmäßig mehr Zeit als ich bräuchte um ein Foto zu machen und nutze sie gern für eine Kaffeepause. Und während ich da so sitze fallen mir dann Texte wie dieser hier ein.
Direkten Kontakt zu irgend jemanden aus meiner Ahnenreihe hatte ich dabei allerdings noch nie. Was möglichweise daran liegt, dass meine Vorfahren mehr als 100 km von hier entfernt gelebt haben und das die Ahnen der Einheimischen von ihren Eltern gelernt haben, dass man nicht mit Fremden redet.

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved

The widowhood effect is the increase in the probability of a person dying during a relatively short period of time after their long-time spouse has died.
The pattern indicates a sharp increase in risk of death for the widower particularly, but not exclusively, in the three months after the death of their spouse. This process has also been called "dying of a broken heart".
Being widowed leads to an increased likelihood of developing severe mental disorder. This can be partially attributed to the unanticipated decisions widows have to make with regards to the death of their spouse. Responses of grief and bereavement due to the loss of a spouse increases vulnerability to psychological and physical illnesses.
Knowing you are not alone doesn't seem to make it any easier. Life does seem to loose a purpose and the feeling of being surplus to requirements is not helped by retirement.
I can see why some widowers "just give up".
Where to go for support, and suggestions for helping yourself and others through grief.

I avoided any curves when building the Federations latest interceptor to give it a sharp edged, aggressive feel.
No curves except this excellent new canopy in trans yellow that is. For this we have @pixarslightyear and Angus MacLane to thank for.
Desolation is the framework for human ignorance that is rampant even in pandemic times.
The human being is the real pandemic ?!

Ein bizarrer Wolkenschlauch über dem Karwendel - in den Bergen erlebt man die unterschiedlichsten Stimmungen, immer wieder anders und faszinierend...

What lies before you may merely be an illusion, but what resides in your heart is the truest reality.
This is an inland lake we camped at last week. The day was grey but it made for better light in trying to capture this flowing water. Studies show that moving water gives off negative ions which is very therapeutic for our health and well being when we are near it. This effect definitely put me in a good mood.
Water droplets on a pink peony exhibiting the Lotus Effect. This effect is also called superhydrophobicity and can be identified by a droplet of water with a contact angle relative to a surface of greater than 150°. It causes water droplets to roll off a surface when tilted instead of flattening out, leading to a "self-cleaning" effect and a ton of fascinating applications in research. A hierarchical structure (e.g., hills and valleys which are in turn covered with their own hills and valleys) at the microscopic level is part of why these droplets remain stable.
Cropped and then used Adobe photoshop beta cosmos 9 effect. Big thanks to John Lunt for suggesting I use this particular effect in this manner!*
The tunnel effect describes how quantum mechanical particles can go through a barrier even if they have not enough energy to go over that barrier.

You've got to believe, *katz, that I cannot find the instructions in my manual on how to remove the personal data I input. Give me time....
