We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before even a word has been spoken.
So I would ask, if there is the desire to speak , why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you..? We should.
This photo is from my Street photography collection. I met this young lady in front of the restaurant she was working at. After exchanging smiles she kindly gifted her mesmerizing beauty to my photo.

Thank god I took my cam with me in the morning when driving to work. Seems like I already knew evening will bring some great stuff. So on the way back home I stopped directly on the east side of Lake Millstatt in Döbriach. Had to wait for over one hour, but this was definitely worth it. Got some great shots and time-lapse will come the next days, so be prepared ;)

The 45EPIC landscapes and goddesses are straight out of Homer's Iliad & Odyssey!
I'm currently updating a translation with the Greek names for the gods and goddesses--will publish soon! :)
"RAGE--Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. " --Homer's Iliad capturing the rage of the 45EPIC landscapes and seascapes! :)
Ludwig van Beethoven: "Music/poetry/art should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman."
I joined a creative art group on Facebook and also one of their projects; to get 10 paint chips/cards and to collage these. I decided to make my paint chip gluebook zoology themed. And then I made the book cover; scanned the cover of an old book that I have, added a label digitally to the front cover and printed out copies. It took some cutting and puzzling, as the old book was of a different format. And then finally glued the paper on to some cardboard I cut off a box. Finally I bound the whole book together with a recently purchased cinch bindery tool. The machine was real easy to use and now I just want to make a heck of a lotta journals and books with that thing 😄

First Crocus
This morning, flowers cracked open
the earth’s brown shell. Spring
leaves spilled everywhere
though winter’s stern hand
could come down again at any moment
to break the delicate yolk
of a new bloom.
The crocus don’t see this as they chatter
beneath a cheerful petal of spring sky.
They ignore the air’s brisk arm
as they peer at their fresh stems, step
on the leftover fragments
of old leaves.
When the night wind twists them to pieces,
they will die like this: laughing,
tossing their brilliant heads
in the bitter air.

The Greek Mythology Summary of Persephone
Demeter, goddess of the corn and harvest, has one daughter, Persephone, the maiden of spring. Hades, god of the Underworld, kidnaps Persephone and brings her down to be his wife in the Underworld. Grief-stricken and confused, Demeter withholds her gifts from the world, which becomes “a frozen desert.” She comes down to human beings in the form of an elderly woman and is taken in by a woman named Metaneira. At night, Demeter attempts to grant Metaneira’s son immortal youth by secretly anointing the boy with ambrosia and placing him in a hot fire. When Metaneira discovers Demeter putting her son in the fire, she becomes irate. Demeter then sheds her disguise and demands that the people of the town build her a temple.
In this temple, far removed from the other gods in Olympus, Demeter sits in longing for her daughter. The earth, meanwhile, freezes to a bitter cold that threatens mankind’s extinction. Finally, Zeus intervenes by telling Hermes to go down to the underworld and bring Persephone back. Hades knows he must agree to Zeus’s terms, but he gives Persephone four pomegranate seeds, knowing that if she eats them she will have to return to him. With her daughter back, Demeter leaves her temple and joins the other gods on Mount Olympus. But because Persephone does eat the pomegranate seeds, she must return to the Underworld for four months a year - one month for every seed she ate. In these months, Demeter grieves and the earth goes through winter.

Helen Marie Deadmore
Born Helen Marie Deadmore, her mother a domestic servant and her father a butler to a Duke and Duchess.
Helen grew up poor but lived in relative luxury on the grounds of the Duke and Duchess’s estate with her parents in the servants wing. The royals had taken a shine to the young girl who was always well presented in hand me downs from their daughter and very well spoken.
The aristocratic couple had a son of a similar age, although maybe a year or two older. Helen was granted the rare gift of being permitted an education alongside their son. The young pair developed a strong friendship and once they hit their teen years had become inseparable.
When Helen was 14 her mother tragically passed away during childbirth and her father, although did his best to care for her became unintentionally neglectful. The Duchess became quite concerned and had a lady from a well reputed orphanage come and take her away. She and her husband did not know what else they could do, it was not their concern to be bringing up the child of servants.
However their son vowed that one day he would find her and bring her back, his parents hushed him in agreement hoping that one day he would find somebody more suited and forget about the servants’ daughter. He never did, he loved her more than life itself and kept his vow. When he became of age he searched the kingdom in the hope of finding her.
After many years of searching, and dropsy claiming the life of his father and pneumonia taking the life of his mother, he found his childhood sweetheart. And after a brief courtship, they married in a church not to far from the estate where they both grew up. Upon their marriage Helen Marie Deadmore became Her Grace the Duchess of Belcrest and Westermoor, a title and lifestyle she very quickly became accustomed to.
They had not produced any children when war broke out and her husband had to go and take his position as an officer in the army. Sadly the war, like all wars, was brutal and took his life. He never returned home. The absence of a funeral gave no closure to Helen and she sunk into a deep depression, but being a dowager helped her avoid being sectioned and admitted to an asylum.
The Duchess squandered her late husband’s wealth, and eventually the taxman was chasing her for unpaid taxes. She had avoided a mental asylum would she be able to avoid a debtors prison? Life in prison scared her and she was advised that the best option open to her was to sell the mansion that had been in her dead husband's family for hundreds of years.
With little money left over after settling her debt with the taxman, and being homeless for the first time in her life she searched for somewhere to live. Her cousin Edward Deadmore owned a public house in a city 100 miles away and he offered her a room above the bar. Gladly she accepted.
This was clearly not the lifestyle or environment she was used to, but she had to find a way to adjust. She had to also find a way to pay her widows tax before being in debt to the taxman again. Her cousin, although kind enough to let her the room, was not a good man and suggested she use her body to make money, he suggested that she allow the drunks up to her room if they so wished and upon payment she pleasure them., and of course he would take a cut of her earnings.
This was to be her new life, luxurious clothes in a makeshift one room brothel. Her husband had no living family that could save her from this and her only living family was her cousin, so although she had a title of Her Grace the Duchess of Belcrest and Westermoor, she was disgraced Helen Marie Deadmore.

I vistied the area around Cinque Terre in Liguria/Italy for a few days from May 1st till May 4th. Our hotel was located in Marina di Pietrasanta very close to the sea, from where we started our daily tours. The weather was pretty cloudy and also rainy, but we were able to do everything what has been planned for us. Been the first time for me to be so close to the sea for a longer time and we have really seen a lot during those days. We started our trip in Radenthein with a bus from the local travel agency Bacher Reisen on Thursday at 6 a.m. in the morning. Our busdriver was Heller Bernd, who knows everything about this region. On Friday we took a boat tour from La Spezia to Porto Venere and onwards to Cinque Terre. From Riomaggiore we took the train back to La Spezia and with the bus back to our hotel.
On Saturday we visited the marble quarry in Carrara and had a local guide named Mario who was an old police man who turned 90 years 3 days before. For that age he was in fabulous shape and a really funny guy! In the evening we visited Lucca which was also quite interesting. On Sunday morning it was the one and only day with more or less blue sky so I used an hour in the morning, before we were leaving, for taking some shots of the Pontile di Marina di Pietrasanta. A few short words on this and maybe more soon in one of my blogs. Hope with these pics you can enjoy a little bit as we did and if so feel free to share the links or download photos from my stock photo portfolios!
