Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family ...... every minute should be enjoyed and savored ~ Earl Nightingale.
It is september already, i wanted to do a small tribute to the students, and all people who like to learn :)
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
Yeah, oh
I recommend walkin' around naked in your living room
Yeah
Swallow it down (What a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (Swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream you learn
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (The caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (To the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
Wear it out (The way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (You're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are comin' up around the bend
You grieve, you learn
You choke, you learn
You laugh, you learn
You choose, you learn
You pray, you learn
You ask, you learn
You live, you learn
has something new and wonderful to show you :-)

After a while, you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
and company doesn’t always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while, you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much, so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure, you really are strong, you really do have worth...
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn!

If life challenges you and makes it difficult for you, you are forced to learn and grow. It is precisely these challenges that make us stronger and value life all the more.
We are forced by our surroundings to learn how to swim again and again. You think, you are done, but the waters seem to change, flow in an opposite direction than you expect or even creates maelstroms. The changes to our lives are constant. If you ask me, it is not better for any individual. You think you mastered floating around, but NO, life forces you to change from comfortable breaststroke to a powerful crawl. Do not expect anybody to throw you a life saver. You are on your own, buddy.

“You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn."
T.H. White, English author, (29 May 1906 – 17 January 1964)

Last January 2022 I asked for help and a Flickr support hero removed both of my accounts from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed and in the moment.
This is what I’ll be missing over the next few days, classic north eastern storm weather. The sea’s are rough at the moment and soon to be very rough, it’s a strain to be sitting here at my desk but it has to be done, it’s a good job I took hundreds last year when I could. Here is one I took back in August at Seaham, I haven’t posted many from this session as I’ve tended to concentrate on my Roker photo’s, which I believe are some of the best I’ve taken to date. I continuing my learning curve with Photoshop and luminosity masks, I’m also starting to see a better mono conversion in Photoshop as well. Lightroom tends to go blotchy when you try to pull out those darker greys with the colour slides, in Photoshop that process seems more subtle. With more time on my hands on late I might as well booster my processing skills as my camera skills are going nowhere. If you have time count the seagulls

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO: MY LONG AND ARDUOUS JOURNEY TO BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY
If you've set yourself the challenge of exclusively shooting the wildlife in your own back yard, you might find - as I did - that bird photography is really, really hard.
It's not that reptiles are easy to photograph either, mind - but at least the ones in my garden stay (for the most part) on the ground, and one can learn how to carefully approach them with a camera. They're also clearly egoists, which from a photographer's point of view is is a great character trait: if a lizard detects a human in its vicinity, it's only interested in saving its own skin, and it won't alarm its buddies.
But birds... oh man. Over the years, my feathered friends and I have developed a lovely routine that now defines our peaceful co-existence. As soon as I as much as open a window (let alone the door), I'm instantly greeted by an eruption of panicky fluttering and hysterical shouts from my garden: "SAVE YOUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND FLY FOR YOUR LIVES: THE HAIRLESS, PINK MONSTER IS COMING!!! (Yes, I speak bird, and I know that this is exactly what they are shouting 😉).
Needless to say, with the exception of the redstart I already showed here, all my efforts to get the kind of detailed shots I usually strive for with my nature photography ended in complete failure and utter disillusionment. I was ready to give up on stalking the winged misanthropes in my garden altogether, but then winter came - and changed everything.
One day this past January I observed my neighbor Signora P - a kind, elderly Italian lady - putting something on the low garden wall in front of my house. At first I thought she was just putting some treat there for her cat Romeo; the young tom patrols that wall constantly (it's his favorite spot in the garden, and during the warmer months he usually lurks in the thick foliage next to it to prey on lizards).
But once I detected a lot of movement on that wall through my window, I understood she had put a little pile of bread crumbs there; she was feeding the birds who soon arrived in flocks. This was certainly well-intended on my neighbor's part, but her noble action came with a catch, and I'm afraid quite literally.
When I took a stroll through my garden the next day I discovered a suspicious amount of feathers on the ground next to the wall. Romeo had apparently switched from his low-calorie summer diet (lizard) to more energy-rich meals consisting of "fowl" (it was winter after all, so from a nutritionist's point of view this made sense).
I would find fresh traces of Romeo's victims (mostly feathers, but also the odd wing) in my garden over the following days; so my first intuition that my neighbor was feeding her cat hadn't been that far off after all, as Romeo was now clearly being "served" fresh birds on a daily basis. And although the hungry visitors seemed to be aware of the danger and became slightly more prudent, they just couldn't resist the tasty snacks Signora P put on that wall - and neither could Romeo.
It was obvious that I had to act, but talking to my neighbor - who is as stubborn as she is kind - would have been futile, I knew that much. I pondered the matter long and hard - until a light bulb went off in my head. The idea was genius. If successful, what I had in mind would not only increase the birds' chances of surviving Romeo's appetite, but also greatly benefit my own photographic endeavors.
I started to enact my master plan the very next day by buying a giant bag of bird feed (consisting mainly of sunflower seeds) from the store. Then I dragged a huge piece of a tree trunk (approx. 120 cm in height) that we normally chop firewood on from the shed out into the garden and emptied almost half of the bag's content on top of it. Signora P's buffet for birds (and cats) was about to get some serious competition 😊.
My reasoning was as follows: not only would the birds be lured away from the fatally low garden wall to a place where they were safe from the cat - there was nothing around that tree trunk that provided cover for a predator, and the birds had a nice 360° view around it at all times - but I was also able to photograph them while hiding in the shed.
However, in order for my plan to work there was one little extra measure I had to take, and it was one that risked lowering my own life expectancy considerably once the owner of the property - my mom - discovered it. You see, our shed is completely windowless, so if I wanted to use it as a blind, I had no choice but to cut a hole into one of its wooden walls... which I promptly did (I figured all's fair in love - and photography 😉).
Granted, I have absolutely zero carpentering skills, and it showed. That hole was an ugly mess: the shed's wall seemed to have had an encounter with Jack Nicholson's ax-wielding lunatic character from the film 'The Shining'. Needless to say, I was incredibly proud of my work (I mean, come on: there now was a hole where before there wasn't a hole, and it was big enough for the lens of my camera to peek through, so it was mission accomplished as far as I was concerned).
Now all I had to do was wait for the birds to discover the tree trunk. In the meantime I started to mentally prepare myself for the inevitable confrontation with my mom and go through possible explanations for that splintering hole in the wall (it was either gonna be a rabid woodpecker attack or an emergency rescue mission with a feeding tube for a little kid that had accidentally locked himself inside the shed - both seemed valid options, though I slightly preferred the locked-in kid due to the involved drama and heroism 😉).
A whole day went by, and not a single bird visited the sunflower seeds. I had expected that it might take a few hours until the first of the ever curious great tits or blue tits would show up, but given how tiny my garden is, an entire day seemed excessive. Then another day came and went: the birds kept flocking to the bread crumbs on the wall, and my tree trunk kept collecting dust. To add injury to insult, a few fresh feathers on the ground were proof that Romeo was still feasting.
It was incredibly frustrating: I provided my winged guests with a much better view - plus a higher chance of surviving the cuisine - than Signora P's place; I risked (almost) certain death at the hands of my own mother (OK, the act of vandalism on the shed I had committed for my own benefit, but still), yet the birds kept ignoring me.
Then, after three days, just before sunset, I spotted a single blue tit on the tree trunk picking away at the sunflower seeds.
When I got up the next morning I immediately realized that the loud noise that accompanies each and every tit activity had shifted from the wall to the shed. At last the dam had broken: there was a flurry of movement around the tree trunk, and I counted at least 5 different species of birds feasting on the sunflower seeds.
From day 4 onward my plan worked beautifully: the birds now indeed mostly ignored Romeo's "snack wall" and kept to the tree trunk. And yes, I was able to play peeping tom from behind the shed's wall and photograph them!! 😊
Thus, dear readers, I finally managed to produce some acceptable bird photos, and I had even saved my feathered friends from a deadly foe in the process. All through winter and spring I took advantage of my new bird hide, and in late May I started mixing some cherries with the sunflower seeds. The idea was to attract a Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius), and as you can see, it worked!
It took me almost three weeks and more than a few tricks to capture that clever fella, but given how long I've been rambling here already, that's a story for another day. As for my mom, she still doesn't know about the hole in the wall, so please don't snitch! 😉.
I hope you like the photo and wish you all a wonderful weekend! Many greetings from Switzerland, and as always: let me know what you think in the comments 🙏 😊 ❤!
P.S. if anyone has their own funny tale about the obstacles we photographers are prepared to overcome for a desired photo, please write it in the comments: I love such stories 😊

First shot out of my new camera. The old one had a issue with holding in the SD card. But a quick call to B&H and a new upgrade was in the mail. Now I need to get it all set up so that I can start to learn how to use it. An amazing camera, but I will have a bit to learn.
"I ask when it will be,
that man shall learn to live without killing,
and the wind shall come to rest."
Francesco Guggini, Auschwitz
On January 27, 1945, Soviet troops entered the Auschwitz concentration camp and revealed a horror that the world may have sensed, but for too long had ignored. For this reason, in 2005, the United Nations chose this date as the International Day of Remembrance, dedicated to all the victims of the Holocaust.
Today, twenty-one years after that symbolic act, we must ask ourselves whether that memory is truly alive. It seems that humanity itself, including the descendants of those who were victims of that horror, has forgotten the horror of the Holocaust. New massacres and new wars continue to stain our present with blood.
The number of atrocities is so great that we risk becoming accustomed to them: they pass before our eyes and, within just a few days, they are forgotten. October 7th massacre of Israel people, Gaza genocide, Iran massacre of civilians, Ukraine war, the extermination of the Kurdish people, the civil wars in Somalia and Sudan are only some of the conflicts in which the first victims continue to be innocent civilians.
In many countries, authoritarianism is becoming the norm, while armed militias kill, arrest (often using children as baits) and deported people that are only guilty of being different or protesting in a pacific way the regime,.
The Holocaust Memorial in Berlin is a place that must be visited with deep respect, because it reminds us that history can repeat itself. It warns us that violence, carried out in the name of an ideal, an interest, or too often in the name of a god, is a tragic and enduring part of human nature.
To remember is not only an act of memory — it is a responsibility toward the future.
"Io chiedo quando sara'
che l'uomo potra' imparare
a vivere senza ammazzare
e il vento riposera'"
Francesco Guggini "Auschtwitz"
Il 27 gennaio 1945 le truppe sovietiche entrarono nel campo di concentramento di Auschwitz e portarono alla luce un orrore che il mondo aveva forse intuito, ma troppo a lungo ignorato. Per questo motivo, nel 2005, le Nazioni Unite hanno scelto questa data come Giorno della Memoria, dedicato a tutte le vittime dell’Olocausto. Oggi, a distanza di ventuno anni da quel gesto simbolico, dobbiamo chiederci se quella memoria sia davvero viva. Sembra infatti che l’umanità, compresi i discendenti di coloro che furono vittime di quell’orrore, stia dimenticando. Nel frattempo, nuovi stermini e nuove guerre continuano a insanguinare il nostro presente. Gli orrori sono così numerosi che rischiamo di assuefarci ad essi: scorrono davanti ai nostri occhi e, nel giro di pochi giorni, vengono dimenticati. Il massacro del 7 Ottobre di civili israeliani, il genocidio di Gaza, il massacro di civili in Iran, l’Ucraina, lo sterminio del popolo curdo, le guerre civili in Somalia e in Sudan sono solo alcuni dei conflitti in cui le prime vittime continuano a essere civili innocenti. In molti Stati, inoltre, l’autoritarismo sta diventando la norma, mentre milizie armate uccidono, arrestano (spesso usando bambini come esca) e deportano impunemente persone la cui unica colpa e’ di apparire diversi o di protestare pacificamente contro il regime.
Il Memoriale dell’Olocausto di Berlino è un luogo che va visitato con grande rispetto, perché ci ricorda che la storia può ripetersi. Ci ammonisce sul fatto che la violenza, esercitata nel nome di un ideale, di un interesse o, troppo spesso, nel nome di un Dio, è una realtà tristemente presente nella natura umana.
Ricordare non è solo un atto di memoria, ma una responsabilità verso il futuro.
...learn to be exclusive, not out of arrogance, but out of wisdom. Do not disperse yourself in every corner or allow anyone who crosses your path to have access to your inner space. Your time, your energy, your essence, are treasures that deserve to be guarded with care. For to be selective is not to close yourself off from the world, but to take care of your own inner self by watering it only with what truly nourishes and flourishes. Not everyone walks with the same light that you emit. ♥
