Posted for Fence Friday.
I am shooting my first wedding tomorrow and I think I'm ready...no stress at all:)
So I will be off Flickr for awhile as, after the wedding, I will be spending all my time processing the images, which I figure will take 5 or 6 days. Then, the following week, we are going on a road trip through Eastern Washington, so won't be around then either. If I have any time in between, I'll do my best to post and comment. Will miss you and see you in a few weeks!

Les Archives de la Terre
Au crépuscule, plongé dans la contemplation du paysage fabuleux du canyon, ma pensée trouva à se poser sur une simple interrogation : Que cherche à me dire ce paysage?…
_________
Ici, le long labeur du temps, nous a laissé des archives de ce qui fut, sous la forme de strates de sédiments marins et terrestres, de débris de formes de vies diverses, d’un âge compris entre 200 millions et 2 milliards d’années…
Ces sols ont été transportés ici sur des milliers de kilomètres et soulevés 3000 mètres par des forces colossales, que l’esprit humain peine à imaginer.
Les sciences ont cumulé un grand corpus de connaissances au sujet du « comment » se sont formées les Archives de la Terre, ici et ailleurs. Mais, l’énigme de la vie elle-même, nous reste toujours caché par un voile de mystère.
_________________
J’ai ressenti une grande humilité devant cette scène, devant les forces déployées par l’évolution, durant …le long labeur du temps.
Alors, serait-il à propos de se demander si « Homo Deus » pourra relever le défi planétaire du climat, en le considérant comme un simple problème de gestion d’un habitat humain? Comme un problème, pouvant être résolu par la technologie, les savoirs faire humains usuels et l’intercession de la diplomatie internationale?
Il n’existe, en ce monde, rien de supérieur au monde lui-même. C’est le premier enseignement des Archives de la Terre.

The Earth Archive
At dusk, immersed in the contemplation of the fabulous landscape of the canyon, my thoughts found a simple question: What is this landscape trying to tell me?…
_________
Here, the long labor of time has left us archives of what was, in the form of strata of marine and terrestrial sediments, debris of various forms of life, of an age between 200 million and 2 billion years…
These soils have been transported here over thousands of kilometers and lifted 3000 meters by colossal forces, which the human mind can hardly imagine.
The sciences have accumulated a large body of knowledge about “how” the Earth Archives was formed, here and elsewhere. But the enigma of life itself always remains hidden from us by a veil of mystery.
_________________
I felt a great humility in front of this scene, in front of the forces deployed by evolution, during… the long labor of time.
So, would it be appropriate to ask whether “Homo Deus” will be able to meet the planetary climate challenge, considering it as a simple problem of managing a human habitat? Is it a problem, which can be solved by technology, the usual human know-how, and the intercession of international diplomacy?
There is nothing in this world greater than the world itself. This is the first teaching of the Archives of the Earth.

Werner Herzog, un grand cinéaste, a un jour déclaré que « l’univers était monstrueusement indifférent à la présence de l’homme »….S’il a raison, c’est de cette petite maison perdue sur les rivages des Îles de la Madeleine au Québec, que je voudrais voir l’univers se foutre de moi! (patrice)
—————
Werner Herzog, a great filmmaker, once said that "the universe is monstrously indifferent to the presence of man" ... .If he is right, it is from this small house lost on the shores of the Magdalen Island in Quebec, that I would like to see the universe not give a damn about me! (Patrice)

TRANQUILLITÉ
Un silence profond, abyssal succéda à la furieuse tempête de neige qui avait foudroyé la vallée de la rivière, la forêt environnante et notre modeste cabane grinçante.
Ce silence aussi soudain qu’étrange calma mon esprit, comme s’il avait été sous l’emprise d’une Magicienne, d’une Enchanteresse. Une tranquillité absolue qui m’imposa un moment de recueillement, improbable autrement. En moi, une sensation s’imposait de plus en plus nettement: celle de ce lien indicible qui nous unit, nous les êtres vivants, à notre planète, à nos origines, à l’Univers…
…dans un silence profond.

STILLNESS
A deep, abyssal silence followed the furious snowstorm that had struck down the river valley, the surrounding forest and our modest creaking cabin.
This sudden and strange silence calmed my mind, as if it had been under the influence of a Magician, an Enchantress. An absolute tranquility that imposed on me a moment of contemplation, improbable otherwise. In me, a feeling imposed itself more and more clearly: that of this unspeakable bond which unites us, us the living beings, with our planet, with our origins, with the Universe…
…in deep silence.

Breathe, breathe in the air,
Cherish this moment,
Cherish this breath
Tomorrow is a new day for everyone,
Brand new moon, brand new sun
When you feel life coming down on you,
Like a heavy weight
When you feel this crazy society,
Adding to the strain
Take a stroll to the nearest waters
And remember your place
Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you came
So which way is the wind blowin',
And what does your heart say?
Lyrics from "Follow the Sun" by Xavier Rudd

En traversant l’Univers
Jeune, j’aimais regardé les étoiles
Avec un télescope
Les gens me cherchaient ici
Mais j’étais souvent là-bas
Là-bas, c’est aussi en chacun de nous
Il s’y trouve bien des mondes inexplorés que nous ignorons
Prisonniers consentants de notre réalité quotidienne
En traversant l’univers, celui qui m’habite,
Je n’ai jamais manqué de lumière
Pour aimer passionnément
Les couleurs de ce petit monde
Les choses inutiles
Les chemins peu fréquentés
Les enfants qui rient
L’humeur de tes yeux
Je suis encore là-bas, dansant avec les étoiles
Plus que jamais
Mais, je n’ai plus besoin de télescope
Et les gens ne me cherchent plus
En traversant l’univers, j’ai découvert …
Le rêveur qui regardait dans le télescope

Across the Universe
When I was young, I loved watching the stars
Through a telescope;
People thought I was here,
But often I was up there.
There, is also in each of us,
There are up there unexplored worlds that we ignore,
Consenting prisoners of our daily reality.
Crossing the universe, the one that lives inside me,
I never failed to find the light
To love passionately
The colors of this little world,
The useless things,
The remote roads,
The children that laugh,
The mood of your eyes.
I am still up there, dancing with the stars
More than ever
But, I don't need a telescope anymore
And people are not looking for me anymore.
Crossing the universe, I discovered. . .
The dreamer who was looking through the telescope

An early morning swim of a group of Canada geese out on Lake Erie are observed by an overhead seagull. What was even more interesting to me was the morning sky with the cloud layers in contrast to the lake.

Sunflowers follow poppies. As I could see this morning, these have also completely faded in the meantime. Here they are still in their full splendor and glory.
Auf den Mohn folgen die Sonnenblumen. Auch diese sind, wie ich heute früh sehen konnte inzwischen komplett verblüht. Hier zeigen sie sich noch in voller Pracht und Herrlichkeit.
