**Il faut rajouter de la vie aux années et non des années à la vie.

Le temps n'est pas maître de notre destin, il n'en est que le comptable.

Aujourd'hui, tout ralentissement équivaut à un recul: l'humanité est condamnée au progrès à perpétuité :-(

Le moment présent à un avantage sur tous les autres: il nous appartient!

Nous avons mieux à faire dans la vie que d'en accélérer le rythme.

Il est des pensées qui, comme certaines fleurs, doivent se respirer lentement en osant prendre le temps de ralentir le temps.

De temps en temps, il faut faire une pause pour permettre à notre âme de nous rejoindre.

“It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present and a waste to live in the future.”

-Frank Herbert, Dune

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Zagreb, the main square named after the Croatian politician ban Jelačić.

The present Stirling Old Bridge was built in the 1400s or 1500.

 

The stone bridge was constructed on rubble foundations around 1500 and replaced earlier wooden/ timber bridges, including that on which the Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought.

 

The bridge originally had arches at either end and a defensive gate at the end nearer the burgh. Tolls were levied on goods being taken across the bridge.

 

In December 1745 General Blakeney, lieutenant governor of Stirling⁹ Castle, had one of the bridge arches destroyed to hinder the movement of the Jacobite Army.  The destroyed arch was rebuilt in 1749.

 

In May 1833 the adjacent new road bridge was opened to traffic and the Old Bridge was closed to wheeled traffic.

 

The bridge was designated as a Category A Listed Building in 1965.

 

The bridge today remains one of the best medieval masonry arch bridges in Scotland.

Time slips through our fingers,

like water in a cracked glass.

We wait for the minutes to settle,

but they never do.

 

Yesterday is a shadow

in the corner of today,

a ghost that lingers

in the dimming light,

its whispers etched

on the diaries of memory.

 

And tomorrow is a tide,

pulling the present toward its shore,

never stopping, never still,

yet always just beyond reach—

a promise, a mirage,

woven from the threads of longing.

 

The clock hands march,

relentless as fate,

while we chase the echoes

of moments already lost,

and dream of those

not yet born.

Thames Ironworks produced the world's first all-iron warship, HMS Warrior, which was launched in 1860.

 

Thames Ironworks FC, a football club formed by the workers of that company, was created on 29 June 1895. It later became West Ham United.

Not sure at present of the exact ID. This family in California can be difficult to ID. I used to think the type of buckwheat it was perched on was a 100% lock but that theory has been debunked. Sierra County, CA.

I called this photo “Ever-present” because almost everywhere you go in Kawaguchiko Mount Fuji is there as a dominant presence.

The present bathhouse was built in 1906 and is the third building of its kind on this site. The first bathhouse was built in 1866 and was destroyed by a severe storm in 1884. Its successor was completed in 1886 and suffered the same fate during the heavy storm at 1902.

A wonderful location high in the Italian Dolomites

This beautiful 14th Century Bell Tower hints at what lies beneath the surface: namely, Curon, an Italian village that was flooded by the government in 1950 to create an artificial lake.

I almost didn't make this trip but despite a late start due a 2nd dose or pesky Covid I finally Joined Rohan Reilly and a great team of people. This location was one I really hoped to be able to visit.

I chose this viewpoint as it appealed to my minimalistic taste and the weather app showed only a couple of possible snow showers so I set up my camera and then waited keeping an eye on my snow radar app, finally a bit a of a snow blizzard passed behind the tower almost hiding the distant mountains. I was very lucky as this is the image I wanted and had in my mind.

Mon troisième jour sur Séoul. Une matinée où je traîne encore dans les quartiers environnants la "Galerie K" où j'expose. L'art me semble présent ici et partout, s'affichant sous de si nombreuses formes. Ici aussi, comme à Tokyo, des immeubles peuvent être entièrement consacrés à une galerie unique. Eaux et gaz à tous les étages. Dans l'un d'entre eux, je ne croiserais pas âme qui vive sur 4 étages. Je finirai sur sa terrasse à succomber à l'enivrement des lieux et de la cité. Après un déjeuner délicieux composé surtout d'une poule cuite au bouillon, farcie de riz aromatisé, je file vers l'ambassade des Etats Unis, en passant par le bâtiment 119, histoire de prendre la température suite à l'énorme manifestation de la veille. Calme plat, flics un peu partout. Là se trouve aussi l'immense Palais royal de Gyeongbokgung. Un lieu où tout est vaste. Ici le mystère s'établit pas à pas devant vos yeux. J'y pénétrerai le lendemain et assisterai même à la levée de sa garde. Un peu plus tard après une nouvelle douche à l'hôtel, je reprendrai ma marche errante dans la nuit de Séoul. Le GPS sera ma boussole en des lieux que je ne saurai nommer, désolé.

My third day on Seoul. A morning where I still hang in the surrounding neighborhoods "Gallery K" where I expose. Art seems to me here and everywhere, appearing in so many forms. Here too, as in Tokyo, buildings can be entirely dedicated to a single gallery. Water and gas on all floors. In one of them, where I would not cross a living soul on 4 floors. I will finish on his terrace to succumb to the intoxication of the place and the city. After a delicious lunch consisting mostly of a chicken cooked in broth, stuffed with flavored rice, I go to the Embassy of the United States, through building 119, just to take the temperature following the huge demonstration of the day before. Quiet flat, cops everywhere. There is also the huge royal palace of Gyeongbokgung. A place where everything is vast. Here the mystery is established step by step before your eyes. I will enter the next day and will even attend the lifting of his guard. A little later after a new shower at the hotel, I will resume my wandering walk in the night of Seoul. The GPS will be my compass in places that I can not name,sorry.

Well, that's what it made me think of, with the fine strand of a spider's web linking the two..

Rialto Bridge

 

The Rialto Bridge is the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice. Connecting the districts of San Marco and San Polo. The present bridge was constructed between 1588 and 1591

Bon.

Je dois avouer que j'aime beaucoup cette photo pour le décalage assez net qu'elle présente : il faut avouer que croiser un personnage avec un aspirateur et un balai à lingettes attrape-poussière en pleine rue... C'est pas banal.

 

Mais bon. Je ne sais pas où se situe le cliché. Dans ma carte mémoire ? Dans la scène présentée ? Dans mon regard ? Dans les conditions matérielles qui permettraient d'expliquer ceci ?

 

Je reste perplexe, je dois avouer.

 

PS : Evitons les blagues sexistes en commentaire, ce n'est pas trop le but. :-)

(De manière générale d'ailleurs)
