"Why do we pity people who cannot travel? Because by not being able to expand outwardly, they are also unable to expand inwardly, they cannot multiply, and so they are deprived of the possibility of making far-reaching excursions into themselves and discovering who and what else they could also have become." Pascal Mercer, Night Train to Lisbon
"Warum bedauern wir Leute, die nicht reisen können? Weil sie sich, indem sie sich äußerlich nicht ausbreiten können, auch innerlich nicht auszudehnen vermögen, sie können sich nicht vervielfältigen, und so ist ihnen die Möglichkeit genommen, weitläufige Ausflüge in sich selbst zu unternehmen und zu entdecken, wer und was anderes sie auch hätten werden können." Pascal Mercier, Nachtzug nach Lissabon
This ain’t no way to be
Stuck between my shadow and me
The sun’s going down
It’s getting dark in here
Still folks say:
“I got nothing to fear”
I’m so tired over beating myself
Beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
Please go under with a smile

If the length multiplied by the size is a constant, then a curve is also a "length without width". Or is there no link after all?
I was surprised to see this rabbit in my backyard. I hope it stays and will multiply.
I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.
Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Resting Stag - Double Click to view
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source.
The red deer is the fourth-largest deer species behind moose, elk and sambar deer. It is a ruminant, eating its food in two stages and having an even number of toes on each hoof, like camels, goats and cattle. European red deer have a relatively long tail compared to their Asian and North American relatives. Subtle differences in appearance are noted between the various subspecies of red deer, primarily in size and antlers, with the smallest being the Corsican red deer found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the largest being the Caspian red deer (or maral) of Asia Minor and the Caucasus Region to the west of the Caspian Sea. The deer of central and western Europe vary greatly in size, with some of the largest deer found in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe.Western European red deer, historically, grew to large size given ample food supply (including people's crops), and descendants of introduced populations living in New Zealand and Argentina have grown quite large in both body and antler size. Large red deer stags, like the Caspian red deer or those of the Carpathian Mountains, may rival the wapiti in size. Female red deer are much smaller than their male counterparts.
The European red deer is found in southwestern Asia (Asia Minor and Caucasus regions), North Africa and Europe. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated land mammal still existing in Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa, with the population centred in the northwestern region of the continent in the Atlas Mountains. As of the mid-1990s, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria were the only African countries known to have red deer.
In the Netherlands, a large herd (ca. 3000 animals counted in late 2012) lives in the Oostvaarders Plassen, a nature reserve. Ireland has its own unique subspecies. In France the population is thriving, having multiplied fivefold in the last half-century, increasing from 30,000 in 1970 to approximately 160,000 in 2014. The deer has particularly expanded its footprint into forests at higher altitudes than before. In the UK, indigenous populations occur in Scotland, the Lake District, and the South West of England (principally on Exmoor). Not all of these are of entirely pure bloodlines, as some of these populations have been supplemented with deliberate releases of deer from parks, such as Warnham or Woburn Abbey, in an attempt to increase antler sizes and body weights. The University of Edinburgh found that, in Scotland, there has been extensive hybridisation with the closely related sika deer.
Several other populations have originated either with "carted" deer kept for stag hunts being left out at the end of the hunt, escapes from deer farms, or deliberate releases. Carted deer were kept by stag hunts with no wild red deer in the locality and were normally recaptured after the hunt and used again; although the hunts are called "stag hunts", the Norwich Staghounds only hunted hinds (female red deer), and in 1950, at least eight hinds (some of which may have been pregnant) were known to be at large near Kimberley and West Harling; they formed the basis of a new population based in Thetford Forest in Norfolk. Further substantial red deer herds originated from escapes or deliberate releases in the New Forest, the Peak District, Suffolk, Lancashire, Brecon Beacons, and North Yorkshire, as well as many other smaller populations scattered throughout England and Wales, and they are all generally increasing in numbers and range. A census of deer populations in 2007 and again in 2011 coordinated by the British Deer Society records the red deer as having continued to expand their range in England and Wales since 2000, with expansion most notable in the Midlands and East Anglia.
A couple of weeks ago Macro Mondays had a theme of Mushrooms. After searching for a while and not finding any I remembered my miniature ceramic red spotty mushroom nestling amongst the succulent pot plant. However, I never got to post it. Here for Sliders Sunday is the triple exposure in camera, duplicated in PS and overlain with a texture. After the rain and warmth of the last few days the mushrooms will start popping up again. I hope you weren't too affected by the rain storm last evening . I nearly had a flood inside the house. If it had rained at that intensity for another 15 minutes it would have been bad! So what else will 2021 throw at us? HSS

"But they miscaclulated the backlash. People kept applying the pressure and the people’s voice multiplied.
Then, early the next morning, YouTube sent another email, after “reviewing” my account again, claimed I was not in violation of their Terms of Service. My entire channel and monetization has been restored. This happened all less than 24 hours after promising I would remain banned.
Nothing about my content changed between the first decision and the second.
The only difference was public pressure, and that should be the lesson here. They reverse course when backlash becomes too visible to ignore. The narrative managers rely on quiet compliance. They want you to believe that all appeals are final with auto-reply bots being the only explanation you’ll ever recieve. The assumption is that isolated creators won’t be defended loudly enough for it to matter.
Howver, last night proved otherwise. This was collective action. This was solidarity in real time. And it worked. But that does not mean the problem is solved.
As of now, X is still limiting my visibility in search. Meta has not restored my account. TikTok is still withholding monetization. Now, Upscrolled, the one platform willing to host our voice freely and fairly, has been taken off the Google play store. The infrastructure of censorship is still intact." - Guy Christensen

I was on my way home after my precious, much sought for photographic session at Lake Garlate (see Fire on the water).
The magic of sunrise was finished, by then, so I was driving home without any hope of getting something more to capture. It was then that I saw a castle of shining mist ahead. "It is the meandering river near Airuno!", I thought. So I parked my car and reached the river, which flows near the road. The first rays of the rising sun were heating the air and a beautiful mist was rising from the placid surface of water. As the golden light filtered through the mist I set my tripod and the first bracketing, and began shooting.
It was a magic moment. I was feverishly capturing that thin spell of light and mist, since I knew that it was just a fleeting moment, but I did not feel in a hurry - the water was still, only slighlty perturbed by the vague shape of a duck (or rather a common moorhen?) silently gliding along; the noise from the road was muffled by the mist itself, and I was feeling a deep silence inside me.
This is one of the latest shots of the series: soon after that the mist was completely gone, leaving me musing on the fleeting nature of beauty...
