The tree branches are my own photography.
Thanks everyone for your views, comments, awards, invites and faves.
This is a close-up of a cracked and splintered board that was part of a hoarding surrounding a demolition sight.
In the deep stillness of the night,
I look out over this city
it has just rained
and fog lies among
glistering pillars of iron and glass
I smile amused by how
the Los Angeles skyline looks like Gotham.

This Cooper's Hawk and I looked at each other across my backyard while we pondered why the sparrows and finches were absent today :)
Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds.
Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

As with my previous photograph, "Fractured Reality I", this has been reassembled from the sections of yesterday's photograph of ancient rocks. They are similar, but noticeably different.
Autumn storms sweep Morecambe Bay leaving a dramatic backdrop to this fractured rock on the summit of Holmepark Fell.
I spent the evening dodging showers in the hope of capturing some of the drama around sunset. This boulder with the riven structure, created by years of weathering on this exposed limestone plateau, provided a nice bit of foreground interest as the rain swept Silverdale and Arnside in the distance.

Just a bit of color blending with the Monarch wing and a fractured reflection I came across in NYC a few years back. All the best on this fine Sunday, Happy Slider Sunday.

This is how it feels to live in Melbourne at the moment. It is not a commentary on which side of the political divide I support but about the fractures along political lines and ideology resulting in relentless vitriol and negativity that has fractured friendships and our once united city (and Country).
At the beginning it was all about standing together -bipartisan leadership and co-operation. Didn't take long for it to deteriorate into political point scoring at our expense.
This image just evolved and I guess I'm not sure it works. I took it from a bridge over-looking the freeway last year. Looking at it and the view of Melbourne town, just got me thinking about how much I love it and how broken it feels right now.
We will come back and be whole again. The talk of the move to mostly outdoor dining as has happened successfully in other countries even got me alittle excited this morning. You know how I love fairy lights.
Sometimes wonderful, long lasting ideas and new ways to do things arise from tragedies and I am sure that will happen in Melbourne as it will across the world. We just need to stop the cracks getting too big.
