She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying
Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot
To come (and she'll say to him)
She's saying
I would fly you to the moon and back
If you'll be if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where
We belong
So would you be my baby

♪ Yes ~ Don't Kill the Whale ~ Live at Montreux ♪
You're first, I'm last
You're thirst, I'm asked to justify
Killing our last heaven beast
Don't hunt the whale
In beauty vision
Do we offer much
If we reason with destiny, gonna lose our touch
Don't kill the whale
Rejoice they sing
They worship their own space
In a moment of love, they will die for their grace
Don't kill the whale
If time will allow
We will judge all who came
In the wake of our new age to stand for the frail
Don't kill the whale

The castle in Krasiczyn was built in Renaissance-Mannerist style in 16th and 17th centuries. The construction of castle was started by Stanisław Krasicki. Characteristic for it are 4 different corner towers: Divine, Papal, Royal and Noble. The castle is surrounded by a park.
At the beginning of World War II, the castle was robbed by Soviet soldiers. In 1940, in the castle, Soviet filmmakers made an anti-Polish film entitled "Wind from the East", justifying the invasion of the USSR together with Germany on Poland in September 1939.

He said that everyone was into rough sex, that something must be wrong with me. He said that as his WIFE I was supposed to meet all his needs. He said that I should have sex with him every day if he wants it. He said that he was sorry that I cried. He said that next time, he would ask me first. He said a lot of things to justify his behavior.
Nothing can justify WIFE RAPE. Nothing.
Marital rape is the term used to describe nonconsensual sexual acts between a woman/man and her husband/wife, ex-husband/wife, or intimate long-term partner.
These sexual acts can include: intercourse, anal or oral sex, forced sexual behavior with other individuals, and other unwanted, painful, and humiliating sexual activities.
It is rape if one partner uses force, threats, or intimidation to get the other to submit to sexual acts.
There are three types of marital rape:
Battering Rape - This involves forced sex combined with battering, motivated primarily by anger toward the victim. The sexual abuse is either part of the entire physical abuse incident or is a result of the husband later asking his wife to prove she forgives him for the beating by having sex with him.
Force-Only Rape - The husband uses only as much force as necessary to coerce his wife into sexual activity. This type of sexual assault is primarily motivated by the need for power over the victim. In his mind, he is merely asserting his right to have sex with "his" wife on demand. This is the most common type of marital rape.
Obsessive Rape - The husband’s sexual interests run toward the strange and perverse, and he is willing (or even has a preference) to use force to carry these activities out. This is the least common, yet arguably the most physically damaging, type of marital rape.
Although battered women are more at risk for marital rape than their non-battered counterparts, some men will rape their wives and never beat them; others will beat them, but not rape them. These issues may be inter-linked or seemingly unrelated.

Temple of the Forty Martyrs of Sevastia, Konakovo. Russia.
Date of foundation of the temple: 2004
The site allocated for the construction of the temple is located in the western part of the city of Konakovo, on the banks of the Volga.
Nowadays, daily services and ceremonies are held in the temporary church.
The priest had to master the profession of a builder in order to justify the hopes of the parishioners.
The projected temple is a two-aisled one, with a basement and choirs, an attached belfry, with a hipped-roof end of the main aisle and a four-pitched roof of the north side-altar. The main side-altar of the temple has a cubic main volume with four pillars carrying a light octagon with a dome.
The construction of the temple continues.
Father Oleg himself obtains and brings material for the future church, he negotiates with contractors, looks for workers. He can often be seen at a construction site. Father Oleg took upon himself a seemingly overwhelming burden - the construction of the first large church in the history of Konakovo. In the city, founded in Soviet times, the church was not foreseen. They built a state district power station, erected houses, laid out parks, but hands reached the temple only 14 years ago - in 2004. So the temple will be truly unique for the city.
I hear a lot of different words every day.
The propaganda of selfish politicians and the games of the international community. Biased news and fake news.
The words of international political scientists, military pundits, economists, historians, and people on social media on the couch with potato chips and beer.
I can't find a single word there that justifies war.
"Hey, why were human so stupid?"
"Baaaaa..."
Just Stop the War.

Being used by you, it feels so true
How do we reach this demons
I'm gonna leave us
They don't fucking care for you, like I do

Blind by you, blind by you
Somehow I get blinded by you

Sintra is a charming village just about 20 kms from Lisbon's center. The village itself is beautiiful and, in the mountain above it, the palace and castle are also jewels that justify a visit.
What isn't so well known is its coastal area, where you can explore beautiful beaches and amazing rock formations, Along the cooast you will find excellent trekking paths to explore the area.
The spot where this shot was taken has a magnificent view that extends as far as Praia da Ursa (you can see one of its iconic seastacks) and to Cabo da Roca with its far distant lighthouse.

The Gulf of St. Lawrence and Northumberland Strait part ways at the northeast edge of Prince Edward Island, where a long, rocky reef that is the longest in North America stretches seaward for about 2.4 km (1.5 miles).
Heavy rain and wind were predicted for that night and the entire day after, we RV-camped out there near the cliff for two days - loved the sounds of pelting rain hitting our van and the roaring wind!
The first formal request for a lighthouse to highlight this nautical hazard on the North Cape was probably made in the following report, which was published in 1834.
On the N.W. point of Prince Edward Island, a light would be highly useful to vessels who are crossing the Gulf are forced down in the night by violent N.E. winds. The rapidly increasing trade of Miramichi and the many rising settlements in the Strait of Northumberland, would also well justify the erection of a Lighthouse there.

It is a theme that had much success in the Roman world, also in literature, for having been taken up by Apuleius in the Metamorphoses: depicting the union between divine and mortal, it was used to justify unions between noble families and plebeian classes but also as a symbol of passage of the soul (Psyche) to a blessed life, beyond the earthly one.

I've recently been engaged in the process of sorting through my earlier photographs and preparing higher resolution versions of them. While reexaminging the files that made up the original version of this photograph, I discovered that I'd shot an additional section on the left of this panorama that I'd neglected to use in the original upload of this photo. I figured it might be interesting to put a complete version of the picture together as I'd originally shot it.
Usually when I completely recreate a photograph like this, it's because I find something wrong with the version I'd previously edited. That isn't the case here, so I decided to at least approach the remake from a different process. My original version was a panorama made up of two 7-exposure tonemapped HDR files; this time I didn't bother with HDR, opting instead to work with the RAW files natively before merging them into the panorama. The previous version of this photograph had an almost desaturated color profile; this time I wanted the colors of the sky to show through more strongly.
In the end, I like both versions of this picture. They're different - perhaps subtly so, but at least different enough to justify their existence.

Indian summer, Abeline
You were new in town, I was nineteen
And the sparks flew
They called us crazy behind our backs
Romantic fools, we just let them laugh
Because we knew
It may be a long shot
We may get lonely down the line
Love knows no reason
And I won't let 'em make up my mind
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run
Stars are brighter in a desert sky
No need to wonder or justify
Where this will lead
I wear your locket, our picture's inside
Inscription says "the joy's in the ride"
And I believe
That something so sacred
Is something worth this kind of fight
'Cause love knows no patience, no, no
You can't please everyone all the time
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run
So rare
So sweet
Together baby, I know
We can disappear
Be free
Ooh, my money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let it run, baby
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run

Bittern - Botaurus Stellaris
Norfolk
The bittern is a thickset heron with all-over bright, pale, buffy-brown plumage covered with dark streaks and bars. It flies on broad, rounded, bowed wings. A secretive bird, very difficult to see, as it moves silently through reeds at water's edge, looking for fish. The males make a remarkable far-carrying, booming sound in spring. It's very small, reedbed-dependent population make it an Amber List species.
It is also a Schedule 1 species.
Unlike the similar storks, ibises, and spoonbills, herons, egrets, pelicans, and bitterns fly with their necks retracted, not outstretched.
Eurasian bitterns feed on fish, small mammals, amphibians and invertebrates, hunting along the reed margins in shallow water. British records include eels up to 35 cm (14 in) and other fish, mice and voles, small birds and fledglings, frogs, newts, crabs, shrimps, molluscs, spiders and insects. In continental Europe, members of over twenty families of beetle are eaten, as well as dragonflies, bees, grasshoppers and earwigs. Some vegetable matter such as aquatic plants is also consumed.
Males are polygamous, mating with up to five females. The nest is built in the previous year's standing reeds and consists of an untidy platform some 30 cm (12 in) across. It may be on a tussock surrounded by water or on matted roots close to water and is built by the female using bits of reed, sedges and grass stalks, with a lining of finer fragments. Four to six eggs are laid in late March and April and incubated by the female for about twenty-six days. After hatching, the chicks spend about two weeks in the nest before leaving to swim amongst the reeds. The female rears them without help from the male, regurgitating food into the nest from her crop, the young seizing her bill and pulling it down. They become fully fledged at about eight weeks.
The Eurasian bittern has a very wide range and a large total population, estimated to be 110,000 to 340,000 individuals. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its overall conservation status as being of "least concern because although the population trend is downward, the rate of decline is insufficient to justify rating it in a more threatened category. The chief threat the bird faces is destruction of reed beds and drainage and disturbance of its wetland habitats. It is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies. The southern race has suffered catastrophic decline during the 20th century due to wetland degradation and, unlike the northern race, is of high conservation concern.
In the United Kingdom, the main areas in which the Eurasian bittern breeds have been Lancashire and East Anglia with an estimated 44 breeding pairs in total in 2007. However, the Lancashire population at Leighton Moss RSPB reserve has declined in recent decades, while bitterns have been attracted to new reed beds in the West Country. In Ireland, it died out as a breeding species in the mid-19th century, but in 2011 a single bird was spotted in County Wexford and there have been a number of subsequent sightings. In the 21st century, bitterns are regular winter visitors to the London Wetland Centre, enabling city dwellers to view these scarce birds.
Population:
UK breeding:
80 males
UK wintering:
600 birds
Europe:
21 - 29,000 pairs

Welcome to the beautiful city of Uzerche under the sun, pearl of Corrèze - New Aquitaine - France - Europe
Histoire d'Uzerche
Uzerche surnommée La " Perle du Limousin " est implantée sur la crête d'un escarpement rocheux entouré par une courbe serrée de la Vézère.
Les premiers, les Gaulois s'installèrent sur ce piton rocheux.
César, après avoir conquis la Gaule, choisit de laisser quelques garnisons dans la région, avec pour mission, à Uzarcba, de surveiller les passages de la Vézère.
Le site occupait une position stratégique. Il surplombait le col de Sainte-Eulalie où se trouvait un important carrefour routier antique, d'origine préromaine. L'une des routes joignait l'Armorique au Bassin Méditerranéen, une autre permettait de franchir la Vézère à gué.
Très tôt, ce col fut équipé d'un lieu de culte consacré à une martyre espagnole du 3ème siècle, Sainte-Eulalie de Mérida.
En 480, les Wisigoths pillent et détruisent Uzerche.
Pépin le Bref, conscient de l'intérêt du site, fait bâtir une forteresse et une église protégées par une haute muraille flanquée de dix-huit tours.
La ville se dote de portes, dont la Porte Bécharie qui subsiste encore. Trente an après leur défaite à Poitiers (732), les Sarrasins envahissent une seconde fois le Limousin.
Durant sept ans la ville résiste à leurs assauts et se libère du siège par un habile stratagème. Un blason symbolisant (selon la légende) cette victoire est sculptée sur la porte Bécharie.
En 909, les Normands saccagent la cité.
Au 10ème siècle, les Carolingiens décident d'y fonder un monastère sous la conduite de l'abbé Gaubert. Un incendie en 1028 met un terme à la prospérité que connaît la communauté.
Le 12ème siècle est une période faste, les grands de ce monde traversent la cité et s'arrêtent au monastère : Henry II d'Angleterre et Aliénor d'Aquitaine, leur fils, Richard Cœur de Lion.
La ville résiste à plusieurs sièges, dont celui des Anglais, méritant ainsi le surnom d'Uzerche-La-Pucelle, celle qui n'a jamais été prise.
Dès le 14ème siècle, son développement justifie l'adage " Qui a maison à Uzerche a château en Limousin ". La noblesse de robe va construire hôtels et maisons fortes jusqu'au 16ème siècle.
En 1575, le vicomte de Turenne, à la tête des Huguenots, saccage l'abbaye.
La puissance de son abbaye et la création d'une sénéchaussée royale firent d'elle une capitale du Bas-Limousin.

-------------------------------
History of Uzerche
Uzerche, nicknamed the "Pearl of Limousin", is located on the crest of a rocky escarpment surrounded by a tight curve of the Vézère.
The first, the Gauls, settled on this rocky peak.
Caesar, after having conquered Gaul, chose to leave some garrisons in the region, with the mission, in Uzarcba, to monitor the passages of the Vézère.
The site occupied a strategic position. It overlooked the Sainte-Eulalie pass where there was an important ancient road junction, of pre-Roman origin. One of the roads joined Armorica to the Mediterranean Basin, another made it possible to ford the Vézère.
Very early on, this pass was equipped with a place of worship dedicated to a 3rd century Spanish martyr, Sainte-Eulalie de Mérida.
In 480, the Visigoths pillaged and destroyed Uzerche.
Pépin le Bref, aware of the interest of the site, had a fortress and a church built, protected by a high wall flanked by eighteen towers.
The city is equipped with gates, including the Porte Bécharie which still remains. Thirty years after their defeat at Poitiers (732), the Saracens invade Limousin a second time.
For seven years the city resisted their assaults and freed itself from the siege by a clever stratagem. A coat of arms symbolizing (according to legend) this victory is carved on the Porte Bécharie.
In 909, the Normans sacked the city.
In the 10th century, the Carolingians decided to found a monastery there under the leadership of Father Gaubert. A fire in 1028 put an end to the prosperity of the community.
The 12th century was a prosperous period, the great of this world crossed the city and stopped at the monastery: Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, their son, Richard the Lionheart.
The city resisted several sieges, including that of the English, thus deserving the nickname of Uzerche-La-Pucelle, the one that was never taken.
From the 14th century, its development justifies the adage "Who has a house in Uzerche has a castle in Limousin". The nobility of the robe built hotels and fortified houses until the 16th century.
In 1575, the Vicomte de Turenne, at the head of the Huguenots, sacked the abbey.
The power of its abbey and the creation of a royal senechaussee made it a capital of Bas-Limousin.

There, the headend reefers will be stacked full of Idaho Russet Burbanks for distribution to your local grocery store. The rest of the train will be spotted at Anheuser-Busch for loading of processed barley.
The Montana Sub cashes out on Idaho Agriculture. Potatoes, barley, hay, and other grains prop up the local end, whereas bridge traffic to Butte justifies the existence to Uncle Pete. Eventually I could see most of the local customers going to EIRR (watco).. but in the meantime this high seniority UP terminal sees the best of the best- no trip optimizor or notch restrictions getting in the way of GETTING IT DONE!

Faial is located in the central group of the Azores archipelago, and is part of the so-called “triangle islands”, together with São Jorge and the neighboring Pico Island separated by the Canal do Faial, a narrow arm of the sea with about 8 km wide.
The island was discovered in 1427 and colonized in 1432 by many Flanders.No other island can be so proud of the immense massifs of hydrangeas, in different shades of blue, that frame the houses, separate the fields and embroider the roads, justifying the title of Blue Island.

Assuming they were from Manchester, just up the road from me, a little more intrigue had me discovering Manchester Orchestra is an American indie rock band from Atlanta, Georgia, which might help explain why I hadn't heard of them before.

The castle built in the style of the Renaissance and Mannerist, in the 16th and 17th centuries. The construction of the castle began Stanislaw Krasicki. Characteristic of it are 4 different corner towers: the Divine, Papal, Royal and Manor House. The castle is surrounded by a park.
At the beginning of the Second World War the castle was looted by Soviet soldiers. In 1940 the castle grounds filmmakers Soviet shook their anti-Polish film "Wind from the East", to justify the Soviet invasion of Poland September 17, 1939.

Na początku II wojny światowej zamek został ograbiony przez żołnierzy sowieckich. W 1940 na terenie zamku filmowcy radzieccy kręcili antypolski film pt. „Wiatr ze Wschodu”, uzasadniający inwazję ZSRR na Polskę 17 września 1939.
Of the six Glaeser-bodied Steyr 220 Sport Roadsters built before World War II, three were destroyed in the war, one resides in an Austrian museum, and one has been lost to history. That leaves the 1938 Steyr 220 Sport Roadster that took top honors at this past weekend's inaugural Pinehurst Concours d'Elegance as the last known example still in private hands. The Steyr had previously taken second in the European Classic: Grand Touring class at last year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The current owner bought the Steyr in 2011 and had it restored last year. Steyr, or as it later became known, Steyr-Daimler-Puch, is perhaps best known for building trucks and military vehicles, but the Austrian firm once enjoyed reasonable success building luxury sedans, convertibles and sports roadsters. Debuting in 1937, the Steyr 220 series built on the success of the company's earlier and less-powerful models, such as the 120, 125 and 200. Available in four body styles (five-passenger limousine, five-passenger cabriolet, and two cabriolet versions with bodies by Glaeser Coachworks of Dresden, Germany, all 220 models received a 2.3-liter inline six-cylinder engine, rated at 55 horsepower and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Though Steyr built a total of some 5,900 220 series models from 1937 to 1941, the pre-war European economy didn't encourage purchases like a custom-bodied two-seat sports roadster, and only six of this Glaeser-bodied Steyr variant are known to have been constructed.
Originally built as a demonstrator model for a Berlin dealer, this roadster features dual carburetors, dual exhausts, a longer-duration cam and bigger valves, all of which were available as factory upgrades from Steyr. Restorer Roger James of D&D Classic Automobile Restoration estimates the changes bump output to around 85 horsepower. Given the car's lightweight and rigid chassis with four-wheel independent suspension, its performance and handling would have been exceptional for the day. Restoring the 1938 Steyr took nearly a full year, as parts for the car were available only from a single German source with a history of Steyr restorations that spanned two generations. Worse, the supplier wasn't interested in selling a single component, requiring D&D to purchase the entire remaining Steyr parts inventory to get the items needed. In the case of this nearly one-of-a-kind automobile, the end certainly justifies the means. The maroon-over-cream Steyr Sport Roadster is a stunning and unusual example of pre-war European design. The impact of the Art Deco Streamline Moderne movement on the car's styling is evident, including the subdued primary color with darker accents; the chrome windshield frame, headlamps and wheels; the flowing design of the front fenders and skirted rear fenders; and the plunging chrome trim line used to convey a sense of speed, even when the Glaeser-bodied roadster was parked.

Birling Gap is a coastal hamlet within the parish. It is situated on the Seven Sisters not far from Beachy Head and is owned by the National Trust. Coastal erosion has already removed some of the row of coastguard cottages built in 1878, but those that remain are still inhabited. There is a cafe, shop and visitor centre run by National Trust and a metal staircase leading down to the enclosed pebble beach and the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs. In time, the houses are likely to be demolished due to the severe coastal erosion; the Government has concluded that the commercial value of the houses does not justify the construction of sea defences. If walkers are cut off at high tide, they can climb the ladder, which is replaced often, to Birling Gap.

"They use force to make you do what the deciders have decided you must do
Killing in the name of
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Now you do what they told ya
Those who died are justified
For wearing the badge
They're the chosen whites
You justify those that died
By wearing the badge
They're the chosen whites
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control...
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Motherfucker!"

Finally, the wait is over.
After a passionate wait for three consecutive years, I finally got a decent chance to photograph this beautiful guest. That was a moment of delight for me.
This beautiful passerine bird named Siberian rubythroat (Calliope calliope) is a small migratory insectivorous species. It breeds in mixed coniferous forests in Siberia and winters in Bangladesh, Thailand, India, and Indonesia.
Siberian rubythroat falls under the genus Calliope, in classical Greek which means "beautiful-voiced". His incredible voice and tone of singing justify the name Calliope as well.

Alentejo is often forgotten as an exceptional tourist destination and it is a pity that it is so, as its landscapes, people, culture, history and cuisine justify it being seen as a destination in itself, rather than just a transit area for those crossing it on their way to some beach holidays in Portugal’s southernmost Algarve.
Alentejo is set in the South of Portugal, between the Tagus River and the Algarve. The East borders Spain and the West is bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. It is an extensive region, essentially rural and sparsely populated, which makes up about one third of Portugal. The coastal area has beautiful beaches and the interior hosts now the largest artificial lake in Europe (Alqueva) which brought a milder climate and beautiful landscapes along the lake’s shores. Its unique cuisine and excellent wines are other assets of this region.

Pentax K-S1, Pentax 55-200mm, cropped, made very starkly monochrome (mainly reduction of green tones and increase in contrasts), and sharpened, though not too violently, I hope, as it was hand-held, in Photoshop - I don't normally go in for much editing, but ... having done little that a very good dark-room printer would not, I hope the result is pleasing enough to justify it.
