Have you ever been so busy that the periphery has to take a backseat? Oh, yeah! Yet, there are motivators that have us going after those things that seem just beyond reach. With just such an influence, I left my house in Durham at 9pm after a hectic day. Arriving at an open spot across from the Hawksbill Mountain trailhead some 3 hours later, I covered up and attempted a few hours of sleep. My plan is to waken by 4:30, but at 4:15, I’m fired up, geared up, and headed up the trail, motivated by expectations of beauty. I would not be disappointed.
Beauty, it has always seemed to me, is one of the great arguments for the existence of God. If we are all only to engage in a pitiless struggle to ensure our DNA survives (as Richard Dawkins suggests), why does beauty matter so much to so many of us?
It was the beauty contained in the Gospel (“good news”) that moved me so profoundly that I became a Christian… I was baptized 50 years ago today, Easter Sunday.
With the help of C.S. Lewis and Josh McDowell, both of whom I could relate to, as well as the Bible, I was awestruck. To summarize: God had an apparently insoluble conundrum between his justice and his love. He cannot turn a blind eye to human rebellion and failure without compromising his perfect justice. He had gone before His chosen people evidenced as a pillar of cloud by day and of light by night, directing their steps through the wilderness. Yet, while Moses was gone 40 days and nights to receive the Ten Commandments, the children of Israel fell into abject debauchery. We're not like that, are we? A good look around now shows that little has changed of the human condition over these thousands of years. A term now identifies that condition, “HPtFTU” or “the human propensity to foul things up.” For all that, God’s perfect love means he cannot remain alienated from those he has created and loves.
How could one resolve such a conflict without compromising one of these twin absolutes? By human logic, it is impossible! But, as Jesus taught his disciples, our logic is not the last word. The Gospel of Matthew records that Jesus told his disciples, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” The astonished disciples ask, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus replies: “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
God’s solution is not to sacrifice his perfect standards of either morality or love, but to maintain both by sacrificing himself. That is the heart of what Christians commemorate at Easter: that God himself intervened in human history, humiliating himself by taking the form of a helpless infant, living a life in perfect conformity with his moral law, and dying an excruciating and shameful death on the Cross.
I know that some consider this a vile doctrine, that what God allows to happen to Jesus makes him a moral monster. They fail to grasp the importance of the understanding that Jesus was fully human and fully divine. It is in that way that God himself pays the price for restoring humanity.
Or, as the Apostle John more poetically puts it: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
I love chasing beauty with the camera as much as circumstances allow. But I’ve found that the greatest beauty is moral beauty – compassion, generosity, self-sacrifice – and the most beautiful expression of it that I have found or could conceive of is what Christians celebrate at Easter in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the Christ.
One of the most beautiful and inspirational verses in all of God's word I’ve found is John 20:16 where you begin to realize the restraints to Jesus’ “divine capacity” were off in a most wonderful way… Jesus called a very bereaved Mary by her name. That's literally all there is to the verse... Jesus said, “Mary.” She thought He was the gardener, and she wasn't far off in that assessment. He did create it. That's what makes this verse so powerful; Jesus is the Word that was there from the beginning (John 1:1). He had just proved Himself through the resurrection. He was victorious over death and sin… in that moment, there was nothing in Nature over which He didn't prevail. The very Universe would snap at His command, yet He cared enough for Mary, not even a mere speck in that Universe, to reach out to her with heartfelt compassion. She had gone in search of Him, but He found her. In this, Jesus set a precedent that differentiates Christianity from all other religions… because He cares for us all no less than He did Mary. That’s why He went to the cross! God wants us to know Him. God not only allows, but also encourages such a relationship. That’s because Christianity in its truest sense isn’t a religion; it’s a relationship, plain and simple… and it's a relationship that's available to us all.
Thank God, Jesus is risen… He is risen indeed!

Today was one of those lazy days when it comes to photography, I kept putting off picking up the camera and finally as the light was starting to sink I figured I'd better get moving.
What better for a day of procrastinating than a photo of a motivator... that and I was a little stumped on inspiration and coffee is always a good model!
Anyway hope everyone has had a good day, and a Happy Independence Day to all my American friends!

Germany, Black Forest, Todtnauberg, the road to the small mountain village with approximately eight hundred inhabitants, located at 1021 mtr over sea level in a valley towards the sunny southern side, a winter/ski as well as summer resort, near the 1493 mtr high Feldberg, the highest hill of Germanys highlands. First mentioned in documents in the 12th century, agriculture & a mining industry was the most important sources of income. 1870 the first tourists spotted the small village as a “climatic health resort”.
2000 years ago, the Romans moved north from what is now Italy to expand their empire.
The Romans named the large, contiguous forest area "Silva Nigra" because from a distance it looked like a huge, impenetrable, terrifying black forest.
The name "Schwarzwald" / "Black Forest" was first mentioned in the year 868.

Of course she was motivating me to stay home and give her cheese instead of going for a bike ride… but still motivating me.
Italy, Venice, … even so the gondolier sings loudly & full-breasted~ "♪ ’O Sole Mio ♫"~, an Italian classic written in 1898,
…but the sun ignores him this morning at the Ponte Rialto…
Modern gondolas are up to 11 mtr long, 1.6 mtr wide & a weight of about 350 kg, made of 280 hand-made pieces using eight types of wood. It takes about 200 hours to manufacture a gondola; at a cost of roughly 30,000 €.
The oar-paddle, which is several meters long, lies in a fork, forcola, which is inserted into a rectangular opening in the hull on the starboard side. To compensate for unilateral propulsion, the gondola body is built asymmetrically along the central axis; the left side is curved more than the right starboard side, so that its contour on the starboard side is about 0.25 m shorter than on the port side.
The oar-paddle is held in an o complicated shaped fork, known as a Fórcola, allowing several positions of the oar for slow forward rowing, powerful forward rowing, turning, slowing down, rowing backwards stopping, shaped individually for each gondoliers style. The ornament iron, called the "fero da prorà" or "dolfin", on the front of the boat is made from brass, stainless steel, or aluminium. It serves as decoration; every detail of the gondola has its own symbolism & needed to balance the weight of the gondolier at the stern, has an "S" shape symbolic of the twists in the Canal Grande. Under the main blade, there is a kind of comb with six teeth or prongs pointing forward standing for the six districts of Venice. A kind of tooth juts out backwards toward the centre of the gondola symbolises the island of Giudecca, the curved top signifies the Doge's cap.
Originally, the designs were not uniform & changed over the centuries. Originally, there were gondolas in all possible colours. The Venetian noble & patrician houses at the time tried to outdo each other in the magnificent equipment of the boats.
In order to put an end to this unbridled pomposity, the Senate of Venice in 1562 passed the expense law. Supported by the church, this law prescribed uniform black equipment for all gondolas; there were exceptions for foreign envoys & for festivals.

Great Britain, London, Thames Barrier, a movable flood barrier in the River Thames east of Central London, been operational since 1984. The barrier prevents the floodplain of all but the easternmost boroughs of Greater London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides & storm floods moving up from the North Sea. When needed, it is closed during high tide; at low tide it can be opened to restore the river's flow towards the sea.
The Thames Barrier spans 520 metres across the River Thames near Woolwich & protects 125 square kilometres of central London from flooding caused by tidal surges. It has 10 steel gates that can be raised into position across the River Thames. When raised, the main gates stand as high as a 5-storey building and as wide as the opening of Tower Bridge. Each main gate weighs 3,300 tonnes.

To reach this place you have to climb bare foot 700 steps. This old lady was not able to stand straight but she climbed these many cumbersome steps so that she can pray in this famous Jain holy place.
Motivated to join their fellow Church members in Utah but lacking funds for full ox or horse teams, nearly 3,000 Mormon pioneers from England, Wales, Scotland and Scandinavia made the journey from Iowa or Nebraska to Utah in ten handcart companies.
China, Harbin, City Impressions, …street tennis, one player, left side, challenging the two players on the right.
Heilongjiang Province, the most northeast part of China, when viewed on a map has the shape of a swan. Its capital city is Harbin, which is located south of Heilongjiang.
Not only for its special position, but also as the centre of Heilongjiang's political, economic, educational & cultural life, Harbin is described as the pearl beneath the swan's neck. Lying on the east of the Songnen Plain, what is more, Harbin plays a vital role in communications between South & North Asia as well the regions of Europe & the Pacific Ocean.
Harbin was the birthplace of Jin, 1115-1234 & Qing, 1644-1911, Dynasties, the latter of which had a very considerable influence on modern Chinese history.
At the end of the 19th century, Russia built the terminus of the Middle East Railway here. Later, more than 160,000 foreigners from 33 countries migrated to Harbin, promoting the development of a capitalist economy in the city. The economy & culture of Harbin achieved unprecedented prosperity at that time & the city gradually grew into a famous international commercial port. Assimilating external culture, Harbin created its unique & exotic cityscape. The majestic St. Sofia Orthodox Church & Zhongyang Dajie each built in a European style have the effect of bringing you into an 'eastern Moscow'. Even though you are sure to be attracted by various exotic buildings, the Dragon Tower which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people is a must on your journey.
Besides these rich cultural heritages, Harbin is favoured with beautiful natural scenery. Based on meandering Song Hua River & subject to severe low temperatures in winter, down to -30°C, when I took this Pictures the Temperature varied between -20°C & -26°C but dry air, Harbin boasts a unique ice & snow culture. So, Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
The impressive "Ice & Snow Festival" is the greatest & unusual one in the world, therefor Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
As well the large Siberian Tiger & white tigers research centre, with about 500 tigers & a few other species, does an important work to prevent this species from extinction. The Research centre can be visited, tours in small a bus are available, passing through wide natural, separated, sections, however the focus point is to save the tigers.

I was at Coronado to shoot the sunrise with the Coronado Bridge but couldn't help but grab some pictures of this brave soul as they swam by before the break of day.

I think of this beautiful scenery of the distant mesas I will see from the walking path on Scenic to motivate me to walk daily. Best viewed large (not really best viewed in person!)
MOTIVATION
To succeed in the workplace, you need to be at your best, and you
can only truly be at your best when you are motivated to work.
With the proper inner drive, everything can seamlessly fall into
place. So how can you motiv... more
Aberdeen, Carolina and western MP15ac #1451 is motivated, it is a self starter. Yep self starter...I had no idea, standing on the road next to a quiet yard, this locomotive just started. I had no idea that a locomotive could be set up to self start. Most unnerving if you don't know and aren't expecting as there were no rail people around. The tag on the lower cab front has the decal in the next pic...I just hadn't seen it before it started. Guess the cab will be warm and the windows defrosted, lmao! Pic of the self start decal in link.
So I've been playing around with composites more. Its really amazing to be able to create a world right on your computer. I often have trouble justifying that it's photography, when it comes down to it, it's not. Because it was always something I loved to do, and so many people told me to go into graphics instead. Although I'm sure I could eventually use my own stock photos and it could be photography?

Also, I really enjoy doing sort of an informal 365. I never really thought I could do one if I was actually in one, but flickr in general motivates me to create lots of work. More work, and more creative work, than what I do while in school. Which is sad.
Recommend watching this short movie, found it very inspirational and motivating.
