A gravity lens distorts the natural beauty of things [ www.flickr.com/photos/toomanytribbles/8085481477 ] into weird shapes and forms...

I've never really noticed this sapling before, the back-lighting and frost b now giving it a voice. I couldn't help but wonder on it's life expectancy leaning at such a precarious angle. I'm sure gravity will eventually take it's toll.
Nearly every child knows of the word gravity. Gravity is the name associated with the mishaps of the milk spilled from the breakfast table to the kitchen floor. Gravity is the name associated with the reason for "what goes up, must come down". We all know of the word gravity - it is the thing that causes objects to fall to Earth. Yet we know, or we can certainly guess, that gravity is more than that. It is something more complex and universal.
In the early 1600's, Kepler mathematically analyzed known astronomical data in order to develop three laws to describe the motion of planets about the sun. While Kepler's laws provided a suitable framework for describing the motion and paths of planets about the sun, there was no accepted explanation for why such paths existed. To Newton, there must be some cause for such elliptical motion and the peculiar circular motion of the moon about the earth. Newton knew that there must be some sort of force that governed the heavens; for the motion of the moon in a circular path and of the planets in an elliptical path required that there be an inward component of force. According to legend, a breakthrough came at age 24 he was struck in the head by an apple while lying under a tree in an orchard in England. Whether it is a myth or a reality, the fact is certain that it was Newton who relates the cause for heavenly motion (the orbit of the moon about the earth) to the cause for Earthly motion (the falling of an apple to the Earth). This led him to his notion of universal gravitation.
A discrepancy in Mercury's orbit pointed out flaws in Newton's theory. By the end of the 19th century, it was known that its orbit showed slight perturbations that could not be accounted for entirely under Newton's theory, but all searches for another perturbing body (such as a planet orbiting the Sun even closer than Mercury) had been fruitless. The issue was resolved in 1915 by Albert Einstein's new theory of general relativity, which accounted for the small discrepancy in Mercury's orbit.
In general relativity, the effects of gravitation are ascribed to spacetime curvature instead of a force. Einstein proposed that spacetime is curved by matter, and that free-falling objects are moving along locally straight paths in curved spacetime. These straight paths are called geodesics. Like Newton's first law of motion, Einstein's theory states that if a force is applied on an object, it would deviate from a geodesic.
At the end, the gravity concept is more complex than we thought at the very beginning. It causes the falling of objects, that is the phenomenon we can see by our eyes, but moreover, what we cannot see is that the spacetime is curved because of it. But we experience it every day of our life.

It's as if these two dragonflies are defying gravity as they hover over the surface of the table in the backyard. The face on the dragon fly is pretty unusual!
not sharp, I know but such a power as this swan suddenly arrived out of nowhere.. The other images are sharper as I had more time..

Stormy weather between rain storms.
It's normally pretty mild around here
. Sometimes, we have wild storms in the winter. It can be tough.

..is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away
Oh Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees

When the up going and forward going forces are overcome by the downward pull of gravity, the result is inevitable.
At least the water is soft to land in
I've got clouds, you've got halos
Shut my eyes, where do the days go?
So tired from making the climb
That I can't enjoy the view, I'm begging you
Do something, say something
I'm fading, I'm losing
The one thing I can't afford to lose
Like gravity, it's pulling me
Your remedies are lost on me
And I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel
The end of the tunnel
Gravity performed by Embrace (written for Coldplay)
But let me quote from another Embrace song, Nature's Law which I feel also covers the falling of the petals;
"You should never fight your feelings,
When your very bones believe them,
You should never fight your feelings,
You have to follow Nature’s Law."
Finally - right place, right time. After all the years I've visited the FR I've never seen or photographed a gravity slate train.
Gravity slate trains, although not unique, are generally associated with the Ffestiniog Railway and are run on odd occasions/special events, and are only available to staff/volunteers and specially invited guests. The leading brakesman, who is a qualified driver indicates by hand signals to the other brakesmen as to how many brakes to apply. This was the 2nd movement today with the anti-gravity train to Ddaullt being worked by 'Welsh Pony' and 'Palmerston'. The gravity slate train is seen at Minffordd after descending from Ddaullt, with today's two locos following down a while later.
Thanks to the FR staff member (the guard of today's 'Snowdonia Star’) for taking the trouble, when asked, to find out the times for me. 25th June 2022.
"There is grandeur in this view of life, which its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved".
