Study of the day:
"La synthèse en général, ..., est le simple effet de l'imagination, c'est-à-dire d'une fonction de l'âme, aveugle mais indispensable, sans laquelle nous n'aurions aucune espèce de connaissance, mais dont nous n'avons que très rarement conscience. Mais l'acte qui consiste à ramener cette synthèse à des concepts est une fonction qui appartient à l'entendement, et par laquelle il nous procure la connaissance dans le sens propre de ce mot."
"The synthesis in general, ..., is the simple effect of the imagination, that is to say, a function of the soul, blind but necessary, without which we would have no kind of knowledge, but that we have only very rarely conscious. But the act that consists in bringing this synthesis to concepts is a function that belongs to the understanding, and which gives us knowledge in the proper sense of this word."
( Emmanuel Kant - Critique de la raison pure )

I keep updating my gratitude file even when november is over
myhealingmoments.blogspot.com.es/p/focusing-on-gratitude....
I'm glad to be back! I had to take a few weeks off for a bad bought with sciatica. This means no getting out there with my new photography friends and taking pictures or even checking in with you all on Flickr. I've missed you and your gorgeous art but for today, I'm back!
This is a flower in my gazebo garden. Took everything in me to get out there before I missed it all but I did it. Therefore, this one is called Persistence. I hope you like.
Sand Tufa, Mono Lake, California
These remarkable formations of calcified sand persist in spite of their very delicate makeup. Tufa all formed underwater and were exposed when the water level was dropped to satisfy the thirsty Los Angeles basin. They are a favorite of photographers -- but these particular examples are often overlooked. It's not easy to tell from this image, but this cluster of tufa are less than 2 feet tall. I'm astonished they persist because they're crumble between your fingers if you touch them. Monochrome reveals the grain of the sand and hilight the clouds above.
Thanks for your visit!

Not only did it survive, it seems it will thrive. Amazing how a self-seeded plant will grow in the unlikeliest of places while something that we plant and nurture might languish or die.
Energy and persistence conquer all things.

The Steve Knight jazz trio is back to giving their free concerts on the lawn of Senn High School for the season, and I couldn't be happier. If you like the mellow guitar tones of Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell, I'll bet you'd like Knight.

The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí (1931) is one of the most famous works of modern art, often reproduced and parodied. In a section of this painting, ants gather on a pocket watch lying at the edge of a box, next to a clock that has melted over the side, making it useless for telling time. Despite its small size (24 × 33 cm), the painting is filled with many details. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Berlin.
Music from radio broadcasts or record players was played over loudspeakers. They would also broadcast nightly concerts from German radio, depriving prisoners of sleep.
Towards the end of the war, 13,000 Red Army POWs arrived at Sachsenhausen. Over 10,000 were executed in the camp by being shot in the back of the neck through a hidden hole in a wall while being measured for a uniform. Their bodies were then burnt in a crematorium.
"March music" was played to drown out the sounds of executions through the camp.
In addition to propaganda speeches, military marches and 'German' music were played in order to 're-educate' political opponents.
This is one of the remaining speakers.
This decaying fencepost in the middle of the Alvord Desert Basin is a remnant from a borax mining operation from the 19th century.
Visiting the Alvord in March presented some photographic challenges in the form of huge storms that would blow in every hour or so. The one in the background had just blown past me, giving me a rare and welcome patch of sunlight to work with.
E. M. Forster never gets any further than warming the teapot. He's a rare fine hand at that. Feel this teapot. Is it not beautifully warm? Yes, but there ain't going to be no tea.
Painted in 1931 by Salvador Dalí “The Persictence of Sheepery” was planed as an angry accusation of the horrible, but in those times often practised, practise of sheep bathing and then leaving them hanging out to dry for days.
Unfortunately, just before he could put it on display and show the world what the poor sheep had to go through in his native country, Salvador Dalí went mad.
Forgetting all about being an ambassador of all things sheep he threw the painting away and made a new version with silly melting clocks and thus losing the heartbreaking message of the painting that could have saved so many sheep from their horrible ordeal.
Dalí, still quite mad, felt a deep resentment towards him whenever he encountered a sheep on his walks and soon after fled the country and settled in the United States where his madness went unnoticed.
“The Persistence of Sheepery” meanwhile disappeared, never to be seen again until it´s recent discovery in an attic by a certain sheep on a cookie search.
These little fellas are starting to take over!!
