As a continuation of Friedrich August Stüler’s forum architecture, the James-Simon-Galerie serves as the new entrance building for Museum Island, completing the ensemble between the Kupfergraben canal and the south-west façade of the Neues Museum. Together with the ‘Archaeological Promenade’, it forms the backbone of the masterplan that was developed in 1999 and adopted as the basis for all further planning on Museum Island. The building is sited on a narrow strip of land where Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s ‘Neuer Packhof’ administration building stood until 1938.

Silence the surrounds to still the mind, to still the soul, to slow the pace, to breathe, just to breathe. When you've been one round with The Black Dog Bitch, it's exhausting. Every movement you make seems to Take. So. Much. Effort. You feel the pressure of the happy-smiley people and the fast-paced society. Hey, are you okay? Yeah, I'm okay. Not. Because it's too damn tiring explaining something to someone who doesn't get the bitch. You know. You know it's okay: it's OKAY to wrap yourself into your own swaddle of silence, to rest, to be still, to love only you. Everyone can take care of themselves until you're ready again.

“I became aware that there was no barrier between what was inside and what was outside. My body was illuminated by a bright light. I heard with my eyes and saw with my ears. I used my nose as mouth and my mouth as nose. I experienced the world with the totality of my senses as my spirit gathered and my form dissolved. There was no distinction between muscles and bones. My body stopped being heavy and I felt like a floating leaf. Without knowing it, I was being carried by the wind. Drifting here and there, I did not know whether I rode on the wind or the wind rode on me.”

This year the FFF+ have decided to change their monthly challenge from "Five On The Fifth" (FOTF) to “Freestyle on the Fifth”, so still a theme every month, and to be posted on the 5th of the month, but this year it does not have to be five images, it is up to the member to choose a single photo or a collage/composite of how ever many photos they like. The theme will still be set a member of the group each month.
This month it was Laszlo’s turn to choose the theme, and he chose “Summertime”.
I chose to represent Summertime as it is being experienced by so much of our country which is a state of severe drought.
These photos were taken on the last day of 2019 in the middle of the Providence Road dam at Woodlands Historic Park. If you’ve followed my Flickr stream for a while you would have seen my photos of Ducks, Grebes, Herons, Reed Warblers, Brown Honeyeaters and even a Spotted Crake all frolicking in the dam. Now there is not a drop of water in sight, just dried mud and dead reeds.
The drought is so bad in some parts of Australia that some towns are in danger of running out of water completely. There has been talk of entire towns being evacuated due to lack of water. Obviously farmers across the country are in the struggle of their life. And of course, the dryness is causing an ever increasing fire risk across huge swathes of the country with huge areas currently suffering fires that look like the start of the apocalypse.
Despite this, our government continues it’s climate denying stance, recently finishing last amongst all countries of the world in a ranking of the effectiveness of climate policy and being one of a cadre of four that really stymied the recent COP25 climate conference.
In addition they continue to approve new fossil fuel mines such as Adani while we should be doing everything to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions, not increasing them. Adani is also going to have a further devastating effect on the lack of water situation. It is estimated that the Adani mine will consume at least 270 billion litres of groundwater, and the government have already approved a plan allowing Adani to drain 12.5 billion litres from the Suttor River without even conducting a full environmental assessment.
I am further bewildered at a recent decision where a Chinese-owned company has been granted approval to run a 96 million litre a year commercial water mining operation in severely drought-hit southern Queensland, where locals are on water rations and communities are at imminent risk of running dry.
It really just doesn’t make sense. They are raping and pillaging our country, and selling it to the highest bidder and showing blatant disregard for the country, the planet and the people they are meant to be representing. Scott Morrison and his LNP crones are in the pockets of the fossil-fuel industry. They love coal and the money it brings them more than they love their country and its people.
Our Government continues to ignore warnings from scientists, experts and their own Home Affairs department - acknowledging a problem would mean acknowledging climate change is real.
They lie and cheat and rely on their corporate media mates to obfuscate what is really happening - it is a disgrace.
Some links below if anyone who is interested in further reading. If you only have time to read/watch one or two links, please watch the short videos on the first two links, if they don’t scare you, I don’t know what will.
