Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, & loudly proclaiming: "WOW!! What a ride!"

This is another shot at Upper Antelope Canyon. I tried to work on the composition & played with the lighting. Though the dynamic range has been carefully adjusted to maximum level, there are still some burned out areas here. But this is the one I quite satisfy with. I'm also interested in hearing your thought as well. Thanks for viewing.

PLEASE, no only-photo/icon/avatar links here. Though I appreciate your visiting & cut/paste those colorful icons in here, but a thoughtful comment or constructive critique added along with the icon is much more appreciated. I'd like to know how my work appeals to you. Thanks.
Walking slowly to the distant light
Walking through the day until night
Walking past the beauty, that i see
Along fates path, towards life's tree
This amazing path can be found in the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. Why do I never see it photographed? Perhaps Singaporeans are too busy checking out their landmarks...
Part of the path between Fira and Firostefani - most of Santorini is blue and white but not this bit!
Green space and path along the southwestern shore of Llyn Padarn in the village of Llanberis, in Snowdonia (Gwynedd, in northwestern Wales), on a partly cloudy late afternoon in mid-October 2024.
Beyond this glacial lake, to its southeast, are mountains including part of the Snowdon Massif, in the background, and, just to the left of the view, Dolbadarn Castle, the 13th-century Welsh castle built by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth – Llywelyn the Great, Prince of North Wales; an upper lake (Llyn Peris); and Nant Peris, the valley leading up to the Llanberis Pass – in Welsh, Bwlch Llanberis. The area is within the Eryri National Park / Snowdonia National Park / Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri; Llyn Padarn itself is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is popular with boaters.
The imposing 20-foot-high steel sculpture – named Llafn y Cewri, Welsh for Blade of the Giants – was placed by the lake in 2017. Modelled on medieval swords of the Princes of Gwynedd, it echoes the legendary Arthurian “sword in the stone,” Excalibur. Next to it, people are enjoying the view from a bench.

Life has roads.. paths.. and detours.. daily. Every single one of these are new changes, opportunities and outcomes. Every decision that you make is a new possibility.. and nobody ever really KNOWS what the outcome of that path will be.
...What could look like a long clear straight away path.. could instantly become blocked by a fallen tree or a big pothole.. or any other unforeseen obstacle.. that wasn't there before, but ... but THAT'S LIFE, ISN'T IT??!
If you really get into it.. and really think about it, it's kind of scary for some.. exciting for others. But then some of us believe that all of those paths/roads that we take were already chosen for us ((destiny)) & although we may THINK that we're making a decision.. it was already written for us to do so..
What do I believe??
Hmm.. I'm not sure. Probably a little bit of both?? LOL believe me, I have given this subject A LOT of thought! And, my answer.. is STILL UNSURE!
However, whatever you believe.. remember that each decision you make..every path or road that you decide to take.. can ultimately change your future.. (even the smaller paths & detours). Any little pothole in the road that you didn't see coming could cause your tire to blow out.. and you might have to sit on the side of the road "waiting for AAA" or taking less time to: "change your own tire"..
But always remember.. these decisions are important.. no matter how small.
When I am making big decisions, personally I choose to pray about them.. I ask God to help me make the right decision..
But all of us are different.. Some of us are more impulsive than others, or more impatient.
But no matter what, no matter which road we take..
All of us have the SAME THING IN COMMON: We all have choices.
..& We all hope that we make the right one.

Just some thoughts...
I hope that you all have a beautiful Tuesday! I hope that all of your days go nicely and you are healthy, happy & as stress free as possible!
I just got home from physical therapy and I have an important zoom appointment in a little while. My physical therapist did such a fantastic job on me today.. she did this new massage technique on my neck and upper back that I have never seen before.. and it was amazing. She pulled out these long metal things that looked almost like knives (kind of intimidating when you see them!) But she explained how they're smooth and won't hurt me, but they help her to reach deep into my very tight muscles to loosen them without tiring herself out quickly or hurting her self. She did let me know that I will probably bruise on my neck (which I did), but it's just 'the bad stuff coming out' or getting better.. because she actually was able to reach the worst part of the issue.
I am so grateful & thanked her probably 10 times !! I feel so great.. and I go back again Thursday morning to have this done again. It works so GOOD & my neck and upper back currently feel amazing!
..ALSO, I told her how on my way in how I had a migraine (I haven't had one in about 1 1/2 years), but when I do get them I cannot see. I took ibprofen and closed my eyes and rubbed my temples before I went inside and I was starting to feel better. (PT helped that 1000% it went away immediately, thank GOD!) but I also explained to her that the night before while I was at work that I lifted a few big trays of meat on a couple occasions.. (probably between 20-60 lbs each).. Even though my co-workers don't let me .. and try to do it all for me.. on a few occasions I had to. She was happy to hear that.. because she wants me to TRY to lift and see how it works for me.. She explained that she would much rather me practice lifting things at work, NOW (while I'm seeing her in physical therapy at least twice a week).. that way we can SEE how it affects me and how I feel.. and if anything, PT will help me if it hurts me at all.. and then she'd tell me NOT to. I was happy to hear that.. because I don't want to be considered useless because of this injury. I don't want to be a burden at my job.. or an inconvenience. So, I'm glad she suggested it.
Anyhoo, I feel great! And I'm SO GRATEFUL!

After big tides, many paths to the beach turned into high sand cliffs.

During the lockdowns, I went everyday before work on the same spot, on the same beach. Here's a small selection of images I took.
