The Role of Ancient Mills in Preserving the Historical and Spiritual Memory of the Peoples
For a long time, the old wind and water mills were progressively abandoned and one of the oldest professions no longer made sense.
Unfortunately, as in many other things, Man did not understand the importance of preserving knowledge and ancient professions such as the millers.
In the Ion Mystical World these places have not only a material and testimonial importance but also a spiritual one, as many of them are located in isolated places with a romantic and mysterious aura of times past. This spirituality is revealed in sounds, light, shadows, smells and unique forms that awaken our senses and enhance our consciousness and collective memory as a people.
They not only contain ancient technical knowledge and experience of man, but are also the result of the temporal resistance of the souls who have preserved them to this day with great sacrifice over generations.
Therefore, these places must not only be preserved for their architectural, landscape and historical importance but also for the preservation of the memory of human life.
In the Ion Mystical World we fight for the conservation of these places but also for the training and dignification of new professionals who can maintain them in the future and teach new generations about the times when the old mills existed and flour was produced to make bread.
More than feeding our body nowadays, they continue to feed our soul !

O Papel Dos Antigos Moinhos Na Preservação Da Memória Histórica e Espiritual Dos Povos
Durante muito tempo os velhos moinhos de vento e de água foram sendo progressivamente abandonados e uma das mais antigas profissões deixou de fazer sentido.
Infelizmente o Homem como em muitas outras coisas não compreendeu a importância de preservar os conhecimentos e as antigas profissões como era a dos moleiros.
No Mundo Místico de Ion estes locais têm não só uma importância material e testemunhal como também espiritual, pois muitos deles localizam-se em locais isolados com uma aura romântica e misteriosa dos tempos passados. Essa espiritualidade revela-se nos sons, na luz, nas sombras, nos cheiros e nas formas únicas que acordam os nossos sentidos e engrandecem a nossa consciência e memória coletiva enquanto povo.
Eles encerram não só um antigo conhecimento técnico e experiencia do homem como são o resultado da resistência temporal das almas que os preservaram até aos nossos dia com grande sacrifício ao longo de gerações.
Por Isso esses locais não devem ser preservados apenas pela sua importância arquitetónica, paisagística e histórica mas também pela preservação da memória da vida humana.
No Mundo Místico De Ion lutamos pela conservação destes locais mas também pela formação e dignificação de novos profissionais que os possam manter no futuro e ensinar as novas gerações sobre os tempos em que existiam os velhos moinhos e se produzia a farinha para fazer o pão.
Mais do que alimentar hoje em dia o nosso corpo eles continuam a alimentar a nossa alma !

Square net fishing in Phatthalung, Thailand, is a traditional method practiced in the Thale Noi wetlands. Fishermen use bamboo platforms with suspended square nets operated by a pulley and counterweight system. The nets are lowered into the water to trap fish as they swim by, relying on the fishermen’s knowledge of tides and fish behavior. The catch is collected using smaller scoop nets. This sustainable method allows smaller fish to escape, preserving ecosystems. Fishing often occurs in the early morning or evening and reflects generations of cultural tradition. The bamboo structures, especially at sunrise, have become iconic, attracting tourists and photographers. Square net fishing symbolizes the harmonious connection between people and nature, blending livelihood and heritage in this serene region.
Funny story. I needed to fly my drone amongst the mangrove roots to get this panorama capture. Elated after the final frame was shot I mistakenly flew straight up into a guide wire and crashed the drone into the river. Just 5m offshore, I quickly stripped down and dove into the water to recover the drone. Down about 4m it was cold and pitch black with no sign of the bottom. Failure. The hotel was able to find me a salvage diver who was able to recover the drone a week later using the last recorded GPS coordinates. I received the corroded drone and more importantly the still functioning micro SD card a couple of weeks after my return from the trip. Elation again upon successful import, and panorama stitch.

CHUVAS E RAIOS...
- Sempre tivemos o desejo de conseguir capturar em imagens um raio. Mas não é fácil e não possuímos o saber de técnicas mais amplas que permitam esta proeza com uma captura fantástica, inclusive não procuramos aprender até mesmo por não possuirmos equipamentos que nos permitiriam realizar uma captura mais profissional. No entanto, nada disto nos impede de efetuar algumas tentativas. E este dia foi propício e conseguimos 3 momentos (imagens); enfim, eis nosso singelo trabalho e tentativas neste sentido.
RAIN AND LIGHTNING...
- We always had the desire to be able to capture lightning in images. But it's not easy and we don't have the knowledge of broader techniques that allow this feat with a fantastic capture, we don't even try to learn even because we don't have equipment that would allow us to make a more professional capture. However, none of this prevents us from making some attempts. And this day was favorable and we got 3 moments (images); finally, here is our simple work and attempts in this direction.
"Conservation and rural-life policies are really two sides of the same policy; and down at the bottom this policy rests upon the fundamental law that neither man nor nation can prosper unless, in dealing with the present, thought is steadily given for the future."

To the best of my knowledge at the time of the photo these vessels were "waiting" to be incorporated into a maritime museum. so they were "stored" on the shore at the Orteliuskaai, Antwerp, Flanders.

#6592 - 2026 Day 17/365: Some Spring-like cheer when tulips appear in the house. A very dear old friend, who like me judged around the camera clubs, used to say that "flowers were either tulips or non-tulips". At one time that was the extent of my floral knowledge too, but I have progressed just a little :-)
The frigate (Q-2) ARA Libertad, built in the Rio Santiago Shipyard, is a sailing vessel with double topsails (five yards per pole that can be braced up to 45°) and three crossed masts (ratchet, major and mizzen), belonging to the Argentine Navy. The mission of the "Libertad" Frigate is to complete the professional training of the midshipmen of the Argentine Navy, contributing to the increase of their maritime knowledge and integrating them to life at sea. Likewise, it contributes to the foreign policy by representing the Argentine Republic in the ports where it comes to, where it disseminates the geographical, cultural and productive reality of its country. On the other hand, it fosters international naval relations, strengthening professional ties and friendship with the armies of other countries. In more than thirty-five instructional trips he has made, he visited 58 countries and more than 400 foreign ports.
Since its delivery, the frigate has traveled more than 800,000 nautical miles around the world and outside of its station has spent the equivalent of 17 years at sea. Around 11,000 Argentine sailors and friendly countries have passed through its covers and have been formed.
The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.
The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others.

El Viejo Hospital de Peregrinos, actual Parador de San Marcos
El flujo de viajeros que peregrinaban a Santiago durante toda la Edad Media supuso un gran enriquecimiento cultural para los Reinos por los que atravesaba la ruta. El Camino de Santiago fue un factor determinante para el desarrollo del Arte Románico. La arquitectura, la escultura, la pintura, las artes industriales, o la literatura, y otros saberes y disciplinas, circularon a lo largo de la ruta, de la mano de los artistas y sabios peregrinos, y dejaron su huella en ciudades de paso, como León, España.
The Old Hospital of Pilgrims, present Parador of San Marcos
The flow of travelers who traveled to Santiago throughout the Middle Ages was a great cultural enrichment for the Kingdoms that crossed the route. The Camino de Santiago was a determining factor for the development of Romanesque Art. Architecture, sculpture, painting, industrial arts, or literature, and other knowledge and disciplines, circulated along the route, by the hand of artists and wise pilgrims, and left their mark on cities of passage, such as León, Spain.
Национальный технический университет Украины «Киевский политехнический институт имени Игоря Сикорского».
май 2019: Возле корпуса Киевского политехнического института (КПИ) больше нет деревянной скульптуры под названием “Ступени познания”. Предположительно, ее демонтировали по причине гниения дерева.
Деревянная скульптура “Ступени познания” располагалась на территории КПИ. Скульптура была вырезана из посаженного в конце XIX века бука. Дерево было высотой более 25 метров с обхватом 3,4 метра. Весной 2012 года его сломала гроза, и из него было решено сделать скульптуру. Композиция представляла собой высокую (7 метров) стопку книг, которую сверху украшают металлические элементы – шапка магистра и свисающий галстук. Создатели уверяли, что “Ступени познания” должны были простоять как минимум 25 лет.
Thank You Flickr!!! This is my photo from earlier this year that was included in the recently announced Top 25 Photos on Flickr Award for the year 2017.
blog.flickr.net/en/2017/12/07/top-25-photos-on-flickr-in-...
So what does this mean? I do not delude myself into thinking that this is one of the best 25 photos on Flickr, It is not. I see many photos that I consider much better than my own. I am humbled by many of the high quality photos I see on Flickr, and those are what drive me to try and improve. This award, to the best of my knowledge, is based on how many views, likes, and comments a photo receives.
What this award means is that many, many people on Flickr have been very, very kind to me, This is award is a reflection of the wonderful Flickr Community. It means that many of you have taken the time to look at my photos and comment and maybe "like" them. This award is simply a reflection of how kind people have been to me, much more than anything I have done myself. So I get it that you all have made this possible.
So this is my sincere THANK YOU to all the wonderful Flickr people that made this happen. This is your award, much more than mine.
Cheers, and Happy Shooting to all in 2018!

This image used two different exposures. (one at higher ISO for the stars and one at lower ISO for the foreground and school house).
With the processing knowledge acquired lately, I tried to redo the M20 from the session made in August. but at full size 1: 1 cropping only the center of the original photo.

Another trip to Tamala Park Conservation area. This is a coastal sand dune community in a suburban beach setting. It is rare to see anyone in this area and it is very peaceful and very therapeutic. This time when I was there I met three young people doing a revegetation project to reduce the wind erosion. They were planting lots of native coastal plants. I took to the lady in charge for a while. She was delightful and her passion for coastal plants and knowledge of their biology was refreshing. AND she shared my love for coastal spinifex plants.

Wisdom includes the strength to listen.
It includes the maturity to know we cannot know everything, to realise that knowledge is an on-going process.
Wisdom itself is not a line we cross and are suddenly made wise, but rather a continuous gathering of insights, perceptions and information – all of which is changing.
Everything changes because change is all there is and to continue growing, we must change also.
What was once relevant or applicable in the past, may no longer be useful to us.
So we must watch and listen and be humble enough to embrace the limits of our understanding.
Wisdom is the opposite of imagining we know everything.

Crane_Corr
Secret Knowledge, Patience, Longevity
"Corr brings the qualities of patience and perseverance. The crane is capable of standing for hours motionless in the water waiting for the right moment to capture its prey. ... Together with the ability to operate in the Underworld, the crane symbolizes science arcana, the Secret Knowledge, which in the Druid tradition is represented by the writings of Ogham - the tree language of the Druids. In a broader sense learning this language requires the ability to read the 'Book of Nature'."
Gru_Corr
Conoscenza Segreta, Pazienza, Longevità
"Corr porta le qualità della pazienza e della perseveranza. La gru è capace di stare per ore immobile nell'acqua aspettando il momento adatto per catturare la sua preda. ... Insieme alla capacità di operare nel Mondo Sotterraneo, la gru simboleggia la scienza arcana, la Conoscenza Segreta, che nella tradizione dei Druidi è rappresentata dagli scritti di Ogham - la lingua arborea dei Druidi. In un senso più vasto imparare questo linguaggio richiede la capacità di leggere il 'Libro della Natura'."
