Strong memory on Vaclav Square in Prague. Jan Palach was student of history and political economy of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, who sacrificed his life to protest against the suppression of freedoms and passive public access after the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the armies of the Warsaw Pact.
I found this picture in my laptop today. Really old. It's one of the really first pictures before I started to go deeply in photography.
It's the one, for memory.
Perhaps this is the most important thing for me to take back from beach-living: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid; each cycle of a relationship is valid.” ― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gifts From the Sea
for Crazy Tuesday
theme - "Childhood Memories"
Taking a trip down memory lane.
Treasures from my childhood.
One was made by my aunt and has a lock of my own hair.
The little doll is a Rosebud doll made in England in the 1950's and 60's. Both are over 60 years old.
Happy 'Crazy Tuesday'
Another from my series "The Salvage Mission"
Also...my book is available on amazon...just search "Patty Maher Story"
The view looking back while ascending Lingmoor Fell for the very first time. Below, near the walk's starting point, is Blea Tarn House, on the right is Side Pike, on the left Kettle Crag and in the distance Langdale Fell.
The clouds indicate this will not be a completely dry walk. Intermittent showers but a fantastic time spent discovering a portion of the Lake District.
Personally, I would rather be walking the fells than driving the back roads in the Lake District. :-)

My final semestral project 'Colorful memory' was created as memories of places and things which I have connected with my childhood.
Al Capone's Hideout
Quadeville, ON
If these walls could only talk, I could only imagine what kind of things took place here....
An interesting discussion grew out some comments under the photo "last summer" I posted on Instagram a few days ago, I thought I'd like to share with you as it is relevant to this image as well as the series of images I posted recently.
Excerpt
thenumber3implieschaos @minghuanie: I like the feeling of infinity and the unknown that I get from both silence and dark. So it's not necessarily dark emotion, but I find darkness captivating... how about you?
minghuanie @thenumber3implieschaos: I believe the darkness you are talking about is very different from dark emotion, which I am not a great fan of. Darkness here is about not revealing. I have been giving much thought about what you have said about "art is all about filtering..." For many of my newer works I found myself dimming the image, reducing contrast, and filtering out colors (except for one main color for a specific mood). It has much to do with my interest in expressing the feel of memory. As I am watching my daughter growing up (so quickly!), I feel a strong need to hold onto certain memory, which is beautiful, yet always fleeting and quickly fading away. So darkness here is not about dark emotion, but rather an attempt to accurately (very ironic word here) portray the feel of memory being held onto while it's fading away. Perhaps it is about the reduction of experience, or purify and focus it as you remove all the distractions.
lenscape315 @minghuanie: ... I find I edit in a similar manner at times- attempting to portray the places I photograph as I experienced and remember them, less so representing the scene as it really was. This too includes darkening the image at times, bringing down contrast and softening, but sometimes enhancing the color.
minghuanie @lenscape315: ... indeed both darkening, and brightening sometimes. In fact, this particular image has both.

This scene greeted us on a very rainy drive from Trinity, Nfld. just as we reached the top of hill. It will always stay with me.
Best Wishes to all my flickr friends. I hope 2014 will be a wonderful year for you.
Time flies. Unbelieveable that it's been six years since you have gone. I will never forget you. You will always be in my heart and in my thoughts...

Hi guys,
This morning I found another picture that was taken last summer.
I pulled up my skirt a little bit ...
The warm summer wind blowed gently over every inch of my bare skin.
As usual, I'm not wearing panties.
I clearly felt the looks directed at my butt and shaved cunt.💋😍
Here you find the vid:
XOXO Jenna :-)

Posted for the Smile on Sunday theme "Hair"
Hair? Yes, inside this little gold locket are some curls of hair, it was amongst my mother's things, as was the embroidered tablecloth. I don't know who the locket belonged to, or whose hair it is...or who did the embroidery. And I don't know if my Mother ever knew these things. They may have come from my Father's family or be things that only my Grandparents would have remembered... Now they are just mystery objects.
She now has dementia and is living in a lovely care home but to ask her would only cause confusion...so I keep them safe.
Memory tree stands at the exit of extinct extension.
The ocean takes a drop from here.
Steeply, to a depth of Hundreds of Meters.
The tree stands, awkwardly, marking this transition point.
The tree marks the limit, this island can be extended (grown) with reclamation.
The outer edge of reef.
The lagoon, (earlier this used to be!) together with reef, provides safety, and protects the island from many external forces.
When people intervene with nature, things start to go wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When people started migrating, en-mass, into this island, many things started to happen. Some wrong. Some very, very wrong.
Overcrowding and congestion led to many environmentally and socially unfriendly activities.
Houses spurted quickly, on beaches. Lagoons became the next beach.
Houses spurted quickly, on beaches. Lagoons became the next beach.
Houses. More houses...
Until finally the protective lagoon gave up.
Houses filled up every imaginable inch and space.

Vulnerable.
One fine morning, in 1987?, A storm of tidal waves rammed the coastal areas and flooded the Capital island.
It caused massive losses to land and property, opening wide concerns of the environmental sustainability of the island.
The stupid actions of people cannot be reversed.
The island cannot go back to its former glory days.
A huge publicity campaign followed.
The disturbing pictures of this beautiful tropical paradise island faced with immediate extinction brought in sympathies from all over.
Hence, this 'temporary' 180 Million Dollar solution.
A kind donation by the Japanese.
The seawall around the Capital.
(Story coming.)

Three times its original size.
