We cannot blame ourselves! Being unwell, physically or mentally, is not a sign of weakness: looking for help is a sign of strength.

If you find talking to a loved one too difficult, call a distress centre. They can connect you to professional help.

Time passes and yet it doesn't. It seems like she's still here physically but it's been two years next month that she passed. I catch a blurred vision of her running in the fields every now and then. It could be wishful thinking or something else. I don't know. I don't question it. I just know what I see.

We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

I will be posting some of my older images until I am physically able to get out and photograph again.

a familiar title, the sun is a cloud. a phrase worth repeating, to find and fix, in treasured memory, an idea that should be true, and make it a part of my normal belief system, an unspoken fact, metaphysically true, physically true, absolutely true, requiring no further thought, embedded in my being.

i am human, the air is my sustenance, the earth is a rock, all you need is love, instant karma's gonna get you, the sun is a cloud.

the sun is a cloud.

The Mickey Mouse is a superimposition and the final image is orientated upside down. This Chinese New Year installation in a shopping mall is physically orientated upside down. People take pictures with this as background and rotate the images to get interesting pictures like this one.

I did not vote, I physically couldn't because my rides were busy and I could not leave my house today, but even if I could, I'm pretty sure I would not have voted, because I really REALLY don't care this time around.....Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be. I'm sure whatever the outcome, I will be uttering an evil James Bond villain laugh tonight, though directed at different people.

On Saturday I took Marnie to Plantsbrook Local Nature Reserve. There wasn't a human in sight. Just one man in the small car park tossing food for the squirrels. Heaven ! Marnie was so patient with me, leading the way. I'm still slow, but getting physically more capable all the time.

With woodlands, wetlands and wildflower meadows, Plantsbrook Local Nature Reserve is a haven for wildlife and notable for its expanses of open water.

I hope you like this, my Flickr friends. Thank you so much for every view, fave and comment.

Have a lovely Christmas, no matter what your religious faith, or perhaps no faith at all. 😃

Wukoki Ruins Complex, Wupatki National Monument, AZ

Wiki states: a trading area, abandoned @ 1225AD.......Wupatki appears empty and abandoned, but it is remembered and cared for. Although it is no longer physically occupied, Hopi believe the people who lived and died here remain as spiritual guardians. Stories of Wupatki are passed on among Hopi, Navajo, Zuni, and other Native American tribes in the region. Members of the Hopi Bear, Katsina, Lizard, Rattlesnake, Sand, Snow, and Water Clans return periodically to enrich their personal understanding of their clan history.....

Achae Point, on the northern tip of Guam , at just over 525' in elevation is what physically seperates Anderson Air Force Base on the other side from Ritidian Point and the Guam National Wildlife Refuge.

The refuge serves as the focal point for reintroducing and protecting the indigineous bird and wildlife species on Guam. The brown tree snake, accidentally introduced during World War II, wreaking havoc on Guam's bird population. With no natural predators, the tree snakes dispersed around the island eliminating at least 12 bird species from the island by the 1980s.

I know that I am pushing the importance of children and family. Let me explain, families do not agree about everything, and that is natural. The big thing is that no decision any family member makes should interfere with the family relationship, sometimes we have to agree to disagree and other times we have to compromise. Love takes us a long way in this consideration and please keep the love going in your families!

We must protect families, we must protect children, who have inalienable rights and should be loved, should be taken care of physically and mentally, and should not be brought into the world only to suffer.

Indira Ghandi

Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate.

There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.

Nelson Mandella

If we nurture the dreams of children, the world will be blessed. If we destroy them, the world is doomed!

Wes Stafford

Pretty much all the honest truth-telling there is in the world is done by children.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.

John F. Kennedy

We lose eight children and teenagers to gun violence every day. If a mysterious virus suddenly started killing eight of our children every day, America would mobilize teams of doctors and public health officials. We would move heaven and earth until we found a way to protect our children. But not with gun violence.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️

Sometimes my photos require “Getting Close” to the subject physically. Lying on top of pile of leaves or wading in shallow waters. Remaining always safe there’s not much I haven’t tried yet to “Get That Shot, lol” From the top of the Empire State Building in NYC to a Native American Celebration in New Mexico and many cool places in between. Passion drives us to get our next fun capture. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe, mask up and go get your next great capture. 🙏

Nobody seems to get hurt physically in these skirmishes. I hope, similarly, that no emotional damage is done.

Victoria and Albert Museum:

Examples of the works of Art in the Museum – South Kensington Museum – Published in 2 Volumes in 1881 – Book 1 - Plate Nos: 43 - 48

Sometime ago I posted some of the illustrations from the above book and I hoped that would be able to find them physically in the museum and photograph them. I took the third set of 15 illustrations from this book and went on the V & A website; Search the Collections. My results were based upon the following criteria:

(1) Items I did locate and photograph.

(2) Items that were in storage

(3) Items I couldn’t find anywhere

So I will be posting them, along with their locations in the museum, against the original plate and photograph from storage (where possible). The original price and any further information I might find.

One thing I didn’t count on, was that renovations would alter the interior of the building so drastically. I have found it very difficult to pin some of these locations down but in the main they have been found.

Selfcare. Listen to your inner self and see whats good for ya! Physically and mentally ♥

For the learning process to begin we must develop a relationship with one or more animal guides and this requires time and patience. This does not mean you must be with the animal physically. But instead, will learn about the traits, habits, skills and spirit of the animal from afar. As with any new knowledge, practice is important to hone learning into a useful skill. The rewards will be understanding, love, light energy, skillful knowledge and wisdom.

Here's another Bighorn Sheep shot taken on my Tour of the Southwest. I had no reservations or accommodations on this trip as I was unwilling to lock myself to a schedule that wasn't based on photography and as far as I was concerned sleep was low on the priority list. I learned a lot about planning a solo trip and prepping for my target photo. And sometimes you just plain get lucky. For some reason I kept running into these fellows, almost as if they were following me, like some spirit guide looking out over me and helping to bring me good fortune.

A few times I heard them before I saw them. Baaaah. The first time, I actually thought it was a goat, like a farm goat not a Bighorn Sheep. Whatta Newb!! :)

I had some free time on my hands while waiting for an appointment, so I decided to run the numbers on this trip. This was an eight day trip and here are the stats:

Parks visited..............................11

Total hours slept......................38

Miles hiked…………....................54.7

Miles driven………......................1945

Photos taken………....................7862

Dollars spent………...................$385.00

New Camerapack and Shoes...$250.00

Memories created……..Priceless!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week everyone :)

Many thanks to all those who view, comment and or fave my photoes.....It is greatly appreciated ......Chandana

Salt farming is physically challenging, having to stand long hours in the sun, carrying and shifting heavy loads of salt. It’s a visual treat to watch farmers as tiny coloured figures against the white of the salt. I often sit on the banks of these salt pans watching them work. Here is a picture I took with a large mound of salt in the foreground and a farmer in the distance.

Beach Hut in the Snow, Rambergstranda Beach, Lofoten, Norway

Now that I am home from Slovenia and quarantining for ten days (I'm on day six), I am looking at images from locations that I have previously visited and places that I should be heading to shortly, such as Lofoten in Norway.

Lofoten has become one of my favourite winter destinations for a variety of reasons but ultimately, it is because the archipelago somehow manages to combine peace and serenity with dramatic scenery including near vertical mountains, open blue waters of the ocean and gorgeous sheltered fishing bays and towns.

This viewpoint is a very familiar one for those of you who have visited it. This is the lone beach hut on Rambergstranda Beach surrounded by glistening white snow and the gorgeous snow covered hills near Ytresand in the background.

Lofoten is very popular with those who like to keep their hiking/physically activity to a minimum for most of the locations are located close to the roadside but the trick to a successful trip to Lofoten is relying on an experienced photography tour guide to get you to the right places at the right time while taking into account the weather conditions, which can change quickly.

I shall be launching my 2022 workshops shortly but for those wanting a warmer climate, I am running a six night workshop to Lofoten 11th-17th November 2021. Mind you, it did snow during my November 2019 but the temperatures are higher than in February. I only have three places left for this November.

In „Interaction of Color“ schreibt Josef Albers: „In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is – as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.“

Stelle mir einen Vortrag von Josef Albers am Pult des Raumes meines vorherigen Bildes vor und nicht nur die Stühle sind besetzt, der Raum ist voller begeisterter interessierter Menschen ...

denn alles Gleiche, was man in verschiedenen Kontexte stellt, bekommt durch die Umgebung einen neue, andere Bedeutung ... warum soll es bei Farbe anders sein ... und Rot hatte für Albers immer eine besondere Bedeutung ... deshalb ist seinen roten Werken aus "Homage to the Square" ein ganzer Raum gewidmet und die Komplimentärfarbe ist zufällig draußen ...

Meisterwerk(e) der Farbanalyse

»Wenn jemand ›Rot‹ sagt (als Bezeichnung einer Farbe) und wenn 50 Personen zuhören, darf man erwarten, dass 50 verschiedene Rot in ihrem Bewusstsein auftauchen. Man darf sicher sein, dass all diese Rot verschieden sind.«

Bereits an diesen beiden ersten Sätzen, mit dem das Meisterwerk der Kunsterziehung "Interaction of Color" beginnt, wird klar, wie komplex die Wirkung von Farbe sein kann sowie deren visuelle Wahrnehmung.

Erstmals 1963 bei Yale University Press als limitierte Siebdruckausgabe mit 150 Farbtafeln erschienen, ging dieser Text ab 1971 als Taschenbuch mit wenigen Farbtafeln in Druck.

Seither wurden mehr als eine Viertelmillion Exemplare in verschiedenen Ausgaben verkauft. Dieses einflussreiche Handbuch und Lehrmittel für Künstler, Dozenten und Studenten erscheint nun, in einer aktualisierten Übersetzung und deutlich erweiterten Ausgabe.

Neu eingeleitet von Heinz Liesbrock sind zudem rund 60 illustrierende Farbstudien abgebildet, mit denen Albers wichtige Prinzipien und Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Farbe und ihrer Wirkung demonstriert.

Dieses Handbuch bietet nach wie vor ein unentbehrliches Wissen für alle, die sich mit visueller Kommunikation beschäftigen möchten.

JOSEF ALBERS (1888, Bottrop–1976, New Heaven, Connecticut) war als Künstler, Pädagoge und Farbtheoretiker ein Pionier der künstlerischen Moderne des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er ist bekannt für seine umfassende Werkserie Homage to the Square (1950–1976). Albers lehrte am Bauhaus, am Black Mountain College und an der Yale University.

J. A. was a German-born artist and educator. The first living artist to be given a solo shows at MoMA and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, he taught at the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College, headed Yale University's department of design, and is considered one of the most influential teachers of the visual arts in the twentieth century.

Let Me Kiss You ❣

youtu.be/OmPw3SPgWrw

There's a place in the sun for anyone

Who has the will

Chase one and I think I found mine

Yes I do believe I have found mine.

So, close your eyes

And think of someone you physically admire

And let me kiss you, oh.

Let me kiss you, oh.

I zigzagged all over America

And I cannot find

A safety haven

Say, would you let me cry on your shoulder

I've heard that you'd try anything twice

Close your eyes

And think of someone you physically admire

And let me kiss you, oh.

Let me kiss you, oh.

But then you open your eyes

And you see someone that you physically despise

But my heart is open

My heart is open to you...

To be absent means to be somewhere else. Our cell phones have made us physically an absentee society. We have traded proximity for homophily.

Describing the Bora, an orographic wind, therefore local, katabatic, therefore falling from areas at higher altitudes, ALWAYS coming from E/NE towards W/SW, would require a degree thesis and in any case would never be complete.

I've been traveling around all these areas for the past 40 years, but I always discover something new, so I won't go into the specifics of the area, which has so many variables and unknowns (within a very few kilometres, there are areas where it doesn't blow, despite being similar and contiguous to those around, where instead it even prevents standing), but a brief general description.

The Bora (international term in Italian), called Bura in Croatian and Burja in Slovenian, is considered the strongest and most frequent local/orographic wind in the Mediterranean (once there were dozens of episodes like this every winter and as many in the other seasons combined), but in some episodes, close to 200km/h, is probably one of the strongest orographic winds in the world at SEA LEVEL. It can be compared, at least isobarically, to the winds that are generated along the Atlantic coast of Greenland, which "fall" from the frozen plateau to the ocean, when the strong Greenlandic thermal anticyclone is present, in the heart of the island.

The Bora generally activates when a mass of cold and stable air, coming from the EAST or NORTH/EAST, tends to press on the Dinaric Alps and the eastern Julian Alps, seeking an outlet towards the sea where, in the meantime, a depression is generated.

Within a few hours between the Dinaric watershed and the coast (generally around 6-15km in northern Croatia and 20-25km for Trieste) a strong isobaric gradient is created between the high pressure in the 'danubian hinterland and low on the Adriatic, to the point of having a difference of 15hpas in a few kilometers of thickness.

This generates the wind, but then it is the orography that makes it gusty, violent, irregular; this happens because the colder air is denser than that which rises from the sea and tends to be channeled into the Dinaric gates (the first is actually in the Julian Pre-Alps, Cividale area) which are (at least) 9 from north to south, but the main ones are certainly the "Triestina" one (from Postojna-Ravbarkomanda), the one Podkraj-Col-Vipava (Vipavska dolina) the one from Gornje Jelenje towards Grobnik (Rijeka racetrack), the one from the Lić-Fužine plain towards Bakarac-Kraljevica and Most Krk and the Senj one, from above Vratnik pass.

Channeling itself and physically rolling down the mountains/reliefs, the wind strengthens by friction, turbulence and depressurization, thus becoming the Bora.

I will not shy away from admitting the last week has been hard. Hard physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I have felt worn out on all sides. It is easy to want to only show the picture perfect side of life that states we have everything together. Yet in our brokenness and hurt, there is beauty to be found! Tonight I sat and marveled with my wife at the beauty set before me. Storms were rapidly developing nearby which created some phenomenal sunset light and some very stunning storm formations which I will share later on. Our day was not perfect, but it was redeemed by a perfect Maker…Our Maker, Christ Jesus our Sovereign Lord!

MUSHROOMS - Smile on Saturday

.

©annedhuart

physically apart, under the same sky, separated by oceans, sharing the sun, the moon and the stars, eternally connected, by an invisible string of love, our hearts yearn for more

you're the first and last thing on my mind, I carry you with me through my day, you're in my every thought, my every heartbeat, with every breath I take, I silently whisper your name

though my love for you fills every corner of my heart, I feel so incomplete without you, whatever I do I can't escape the feeling of missing the most important part of me – YOU, for every sec I miss you more and more

as my day passes the melancholia gets more and more overwhelming, they might say, distance means so little, when you love someone deep enough, but when the missing, the longing, tears your heart apart, no wise words can comfort you

I feel you, I see you ... whenever I close my eyes, I dream of you, next to me, I wish for you here or me there, but night after night I face the emptiness of the dark by my own

I want to fall asleep next to you, holding you, tasting sweet tenders kisses from your gentle lips, don't want to settle even with the sweetest dream, but in the end, it's all I've, so I close my eyes, wrap your arms around me, wish for that dream, without ever discovering, that you're missing from me

Owing to my recent back injury, I only had a compact camera with fixed wide-angle lens in Scotland. This worked well enough most of the time, so long as I could get physically close to my subjects. Except when I couldn’t, as here on Rannoch Moor at the edge of Lochan na Stainge. I bravely decided against wading in ‘taters deep. Instead, I elected to channel my inner Colin Prior with a 65:24 panoramic crop.

The day before yesterday, the weather was beautiful. It felt spring-like. So I put on my walking shoes, leashed my dog Fenre and walked about 15 kilometers. It gave me a boost mentally and physically. Walking is the best medicine there is to stay healthy and fit!

HIs expression is exactly how I feel about the strange times we are currently experiencing. I'm on week three of being sequestered at home like much of the rest of the nation. Fortunately, I can still escape to the great outdoors safely with moose being the only thing I have to worry about physically distancing from :-)

Be safe and stay well!!!

been mentally and physically ill so need to take a break from meshing for a while. (just an excuse actually)

Riverview Hospital is a Canadian mental health facility located in Coquitlam, British Columbia. It operated under the governance of BC Mental Health & Addiction Services when it closed in July 2012.

In 1904 the provincial government purchased 1,000 acres (400 ha) in then-rural Coquitlam for the construction of Riverview Hospital.

Patients were originally housed in temporary buildings, and in 1913 the building that would eventually be called West Lawn began treating the 300 most seriously ill male patients. The building was originally constructed to hold 480 patients. By the end of the year it housed 919.

Information compiled from Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverview_Hospital_(Coquitlam)

Today the building stands condemned and the site is often used for movie sets.

Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships. Wishing you all health during this difficult time.

Stay Healthy

Another macro shot of the surface of a fallen leaf. I expected orange, red, and yellow, but where did that crazy blue come from? This is one of the leaves featured in the first shot in this series; if you want to see the entire leaf, to compare, go back three images.

Couple more still to come. I am staring out my window at a white world, with at least a foot of fresh snow that has fallen in the past 36 hours. It's beautiful, in a cold, sterile way. And cold it is, -20°C when I got up, with even colder temperatures coming (-29, they say, for Wednesday). So I will be out there with the snow shovel today. And these fiery close ups won't keep me physically warm - that is up to my furnace and the solidity of my house - but psychologically I think they are filling some deep need...

Shift. To move or change position, to adjust the phase relationship, to transform from one state or position into another.

Here the buildings seem to be physically shifting. Evolving into a new state or position, or changing their very forms from solid to less so, from one point of view ( PoV) to another ?

Recently ( 2012 ) there was a lot of talk about "The Great Shift", moving from one state of consciousness and world view into a newer and expanded one. For many this was associated with the end of the Mayan Calendar "Long Count".

In science that "shift" is definitely found in quantum physics, where to understand the view, one has to shift, from a mechanistic, matter is the sum totally of everything, view ( The Newtonian paradigm ) into a contrary and reversed position.

Shift. Things are on the move in so many ways. These are "shaky" times as virtually everything seems to be in Shift. Those that want to hold on to the status quo see Shift as DE-structive, while those that want to see change, see it as evolving transformation.
