Whenever I take time, step back and observe myself;
it scares me.
each time I learn something new.
something I never really realized, nor considered.
Humans really are remarkable subjects to study.

Protest is held in Colombo today ~ 6th September 2011 to highlight the issues related to current development process in Sri Lanka. The protest is organised by Land Forum of Sri Lanka, National fisheries Solidarity Movement and Praja Abhilasha Network. Fishermen, Farmers and activists participated actively in today’s protest.
“In post war Sri Lanka, the government development plans are underway with the aim of country’s prosperity and betterment of the people. But, most of the development projects which are carried out by the Government are harming the peoples’ lives, one way or the other. Most of them seem are not followed the basic principles of the development, which are adopted by the Government itself.
The reality of development threats to the people’s hereditary inheritance in many areasincluding, the situations of 14 Islands in Kalpity, large area in East coast including hundreds of acres of land area in Vakarai, Sampor, Panama, Arugambay. And also it will reveal the reality of sea plane landing projectsthat planning to implement in 20 inland reservoirs, destroying environment and fisheries sector in Parakarama Samudra, Polonnaruwa, Nachchaduwa, Nuwara wewa, reservoirs, in Negombo lagoon, in the name of the tourismindustry development. At the same time the natural capital of Sri Lanka, which is Sinharaja world heritage site, Knuckles range, Somawathie, Nilgala forest, etc are also in the verge of destruction due to tourism projects.
In Uva Wellassa, another thousands of acres of land being allocated for sugar cane cultivations as well as forMaize cultivation for bio fuel productions. All these efforts are carried out without any prior, free informed consent of the people. So, there are a lot of tension and difficulties on general public, majority are farmers, agricultural workers, fisher folk communities, workers etc in the country” say the organisers of today’s protest.

Looks like thunderstorms were brewing! Dark clouds were observed right above. Pic taken from San Jose, CA from up at The Point Church.
Certainly, February 2015 was ending with a bang, weather-wise for the Bay Area! A low pressure system that had originated from the Canadian coast had ushered strong instability in the atmosphere. T-storms had developed around the region. During the morning hours, storm clouds were already towering due to the unstable airmass. By early afternoon, things really started ramping up. Thanks to the afternoon heating, t-storms erupted. Even one had formed just south of my area! I watched and observed the t-storm intensify. Thunder and lightning proceeded with constant rumbles of thunder. My adrenaline rush had skyrocketed. I had parked around Fowler Creek Park to observe the storm. The lightning, thunder, rain and hail continued before diminishing after 3 p.m. My storm-loving self has been satisfied!

Weather scenario and summary:
A cold low pressure system had ushered atmospheric instability on February 28, 2015, causing strong convective scattered t-storm development all over the Bay Area. The region had observed hail, heavy rain, thunder and lightning...the whole shebang! A t-storm had even dumped LOTS of hail in an isolated area around South San Jose, making the affected area look like it was dusted with snow! The low that had brought the wild weather to the Bay Area had weakened as it slowly headed south... It was certainly a crazy day weather-wise for the Bay Area on the last day of February!

A group from my office observed a moment of silence at 2:50PM this afternoon at the nearby Garden of Peace: A Memorial For Victims of Homicide. It’s a lovely little park with natural grasses and a stream made up of stones. Many (too many) of the stones are engraved with the names and dates of Boston homicide victims –each a small memorial and symbolic tombstone, as you can see in this photo. Obviously a good place to meet with colleagues and engage in a moment of silence to mourn and honor yesterday's victims. And to help each other heal the day after our city and one of its best known and iconic international events was ripped apart. It was quite emotional. One co-worker wore her Boston Marathon jacket.
One entrance notes that "The Garden is a symbol of hope for peace and renewal in our lives, our community, and the world." That speaks volumes today. Peace.

Observed at Oceano Campground, California. I wonder if this goose will ever leave here now that it has become used to humans at the campground. Perhaps we can blame the easy food pickings from well meaning campers who encourage their children to feed "the ducks".
During the first walks we were not able to see all the animals around. But once we did a guided walk and learnt how to look around, we felt everywhere observed by many of them.
2021/10/16 - Mergin two different shot in order to make the sky darker without losing too much details of the scene. So I put the shot of the moon on the scene after cutting it from one of the other photos taken during the Observe the Moon Night.
