It was the time of WW2 and the time of secret agents.
Agent 217 was on a mission to interrupt the time warp that had been located at the Scarlett Hotel. The hotel had been a hotbed for gruesome murders and suspicious deaths since it had been built in 1887. The Indian burial ground that had been destroyed during building the grounds had both enraged the natives and started a series of serious accidents, oddsome happenings and haunting-like situations all around the hotel.. People kept vanishing and turning up dead and nobody especially wanted to visit room 237.
During these horrid happenings, the guests had been entrapped in a strange situation where every night at 8pm the 4th of July Ball would begin and last the whole night. Everyone had to take part in the celebrations and nobody really questioned why the same day would be going on over and over again. The time warp had frozen hotel guests inside - you could always check in but you could never leave.
Agent 217 had a personal reason to stop the ghastly goings on at the hotel - her own brother, the caretaker of the Scarlett hotel, would be a consequential part of the gruesome happenings and her goal was to save him from the curse that had been haunting their lineage for centuries.
The Torrances had a special ability in their bloodline, but only the women were able to carry the psychic load of hearing people’s thoughts and seeing prophetic visions - the men would always end up crazy. She knew that she would be the one to change the future - and the past of her familyline.
And so she entered the hotel..

1984 by George Orwell. This is my favorite novel and prophetic in many ways of the privacy and technology issues we face now and in the future, Big Brother is watching. I greatly enjoyed this thought provoking theme. That being said, I am not sure I have been successful in meeting the goal of the theme. If I have not then I have still learned in the attempt. The title of this novel made it difficult for me to translate it into a macro shot. In the end I tried to create an image that expresses the general theme of the book. I may or may not have been successful in following the theme and my photo may be removed, and that's ok.
I was surprised by the amount of discussion this theme created. The very concept of themed photography means you are photographing something to do with a topic someone else has chosen. If you're not quite able to accomplish the task it doesn't mean that you're a terrible photographer, or that your image is awful, it simply means that your image is somewhat outside of the intended parameters. A large group like this has many benefits but also requires rules to keep the group on task. I have accepted that I can't always accomplish that goal and I respect the moderators decisions. I wish other people would do the same, after all, there will be a new and equally interesting theme next week.
When I made this image back in October of 2015 I had no idea it would turn out to be so prophetic! This was shot in a public pit toilet along the "Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail," Wanship, Summit County, Utah.
We seem to have a lot of Say's Phoebes here this winter. A nice little flycatcher with a burnt orange undercarriage. (In case you're wondering about the title, Phoebe was the Titan goddess of prophetic radiance. I know it's a stretch, but I struggled for an apt title this morning)
How is going to assemble the prophetic Oleg
Revenge unwise khozars
Their villages and fields for a violent foray
He condemned swords and fires;
With his team, in Constantinople armor,
The prince on the field rides on the right horse.
This photo has become prophetic! I made it in 2014. A copy of the first ship of the Russian fleet (data from modern history), built by Peter 1. Five years later, in 2019, at the Marine Parade in St. Petersburg on the day of the Marine Fleet, a full-size copy of this sailboat will be released in the Neva ... But the barrel on the photo is both a symbol of a change in reconstruction technologies and a hint of future events that begin with the events of this week ... «Poltava”
By the way, photos of these ships taken on the appropriate dates, you can see in my album St. Petersburg! Enjoy watching....
As we passed out of them Bunya Mountains forest area and started on the slippery, steep slope down to the flat earth of the Darling Downs in Queensland, we came across this spot where the view went for miles and miles. Make that more kilometres! What we didn't realise is that it was kind of prophetic, way out there somewhere was the tiny locality of Cooranga North, where as explained in the other shots today and from last week, we rather found ourselves off course through some unexpected misadventure later in the day.
Strangely enough, the misdirection and seemingly wrong road through that distant landscape as explained later was not so far off - it wasn't the direct and correct route we wanted but it did meander round and eventually end up at our next destination in Jandowae. And we even made it to Dalby where we stayed the night in a great motel.
Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.

The mad prophetic Sibyl you shall find,
Dark in a cave, and on a rock reclin'd.
She sings the fates, and, in her frantic fits,
The notes and names, inscrib'd, to leafs commits.

Berlin, East Side Gallery, Painting on the Berlin Wall made by Ana Leonor Rodrigues in the year 1990.
Das Denkmal East Side Gallery in Berlin-Friedrichshain ist eine dauerhafte Open-Air-Galerie auf dem längsten noch erhaltenen Teilstück der Berliner Mauer in der Mühlenstraße zwischen dem Berliner Ostbahnhof und der Oberbaumbrücke entlang der Spree.
Im Frühjahr 1990, nach der Öffnung der Berliner Mauer, wurde dieses Teilstück von 118 Künstlern aus 21 Ländern auf einer Länge von 1316 Metern bemalt. Die Künstler kommentierten in gut einhundert Gemälden auf der ehemals Ost-Berlin zugewandten Seite der Mauer mit den unterschiedlichsten künstlerischen Mitteln die politischen Veränderungen der Jahre 1989/90. Wegen städtebaulicher Maßnahmen ist sie mittlerweile nicht mehr durchgehend erhalten, und anstelle der Originale von damals existieren heute nur noch die im Jahr 2009 entstandenen Repliken.
Die eigentliche Grenze bildete an dieser Stelle das Kreuzberger Ufer der Spree. Die Galerie befindet sich an der so genannten Hinterlandmauer, die das Grenzgebiet nach Ost-Berlin hin abschloss. Längs dieser Grenzanlagen verlief mit der Mühlenstraße eine der Hauptausfallstraßen in Richtung Süden. Aufgrund der räumlichen Gegebenheiten waren die zuletzt üblichen Betonröhren bereits hier aufgesetzt, so dass die Hinterlandmauer in diesem Bereich untypischerweise optisch, aber etwas überhöht, der äußeren Mauer glich.
The East Side Gallery memorial in Berlin-Friedrichshain is a permanent open-air gallery on the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall in Mühlenstrasse between Berlin Ostbahnhof and Oberbaumbrücke along the Spree.
In spring 1990, after the opening of the Berlin Wall, this section was painted by 118 artists from 21 countries over a length of 1316 meters. The artists used a wide variety of artistic means to comment on the political changes of 1989/90 in more than hundred paintings on the side of the Wall that was formerly facing East Berlin. Due to urban development measures, it is no longer fully preserved, and instead of the originals from then, only the replicas from 2009 exist today.
Frequent rain - not monsoon or flooding - little and often.
"And did those feet in ancient time" is a poem by William Blake from the preface to his epic Milton: A Poem in Two Books, one of a collection of writings known as the Prophetic Books. The poem printed in 1808; today it is best known as the hymn "Jerusalem".
It is often assumed that the poem was inspired by the apocryphal story that a young Jesus, accompanied by Joseph of Arimathea, a tin merchant, travelled to what is now England and visited Glastonbury during his unknown years. Most scholars reject the historical authenticity of this story out of hand, and according to British folklore scholar A. W. Smith, "there was little reason to believe that an oral tradition concerning a visit made by Jesus to Britain existed before the early part of the twentieth century".
Blake does not name the walker on "England's green and pleasant land".
According to a story available at the time of Blake's writing, in Milton's History of Britain, Joseph of Arimathea, alone, travelled after the death of Jesus, and first preached to the ancient Britons.

too easy- right? and i find it very prophetic and symbolic that the dentist drives a shiny white SUV. it appears that this used to be a tree that was cut down, carved and then painted. maybe it met a mishap and the tree surgeon suggested it be "shortened"?

It was prophetic showing a picture of Marloes yesterday, as when we arrived at Martin's Haven , we were informed the boats to Skomer weren't sailing as the winds were too strong. At least the puffins would have a rest from all that posing. We popped down the road to have a wonderful two hours all alone on Marloes beach. This beach always has special memories, as it was part of our first holiday together, before we were married forty years ago. It was a magical morning, and luckily I'd thrown in my wide angle lens . I probably enjoyed taking shots of a deserted beach more than I would following a long procession of Puffin snappers. Do you remember the first time is by Pulp.

(I was so surprised to find this meadow of flowers today down the street from my house still thriving in forty degree weather! I just had to stop and capture it before the winter ate it all up.)
Amazonia
by Alessandro Avanzini.
Chico Mendes' words were prophetic: “At first I thought I was fighting to save the rubber trees, then I thought I was fighting to save the rainforest of the Amazon. Now I understand that I am fighting for humanity. " We listen to the people of the forest who are telling us: " I'm here!"
Thousands of indigenous people from Brazil are forced to flee their homes or worse to die, as well as much of the local fauna.
This float is designed to draw attention to this dramatic situation that no one really seems to really want to remedy.
A survival hug between a young indigenous and a sloth indicates that the time has come for action before it's too late.

Back in September 2014, seeing a KCS GEVO leading a train across Minnesota on the CP was a rare treat. Not so much anymore. I still would've rather seen that former SOO SD60 on the point.

Sees the teeming months advance; . . .
Sees the reddening orchard blow,
The harvest wave, the vintage flow."

Ray Walker and Sally Blane in CITY LIMITS (1934)
Walker plays a journalist who is constantly bullied by a typical city editor into sending pictures with his stories. Here, near the end of the movie, he's on the phone demanding pictures again. So Walker takes one of himself and his love interest, using the phone.

A rainy Saturday does have some perks. Hope this was a “prophetic ray” and that all of you have a terrific and colorful Sunday!

紅色月亮一般是發生月食的時候會出現的。這是因為濃厚的大氣層把紫、藍、綠、黃光都吸收掉了，只剩下紅色光可以穿透過來。月全食時的紅月亮也是同樣的道理，大氣層將紅色光折射到月球表面上，所以我們仍然能看到在地影里，紅紅的月亮掛在天空中。
The scientific discovery of astronomy that have studied the behavior of the moon, declares that the atmosphere (which is the moral environment, the evil or divine presence that contains gases and emotional feelings) which surrounds and governs the earthly atmosphere in the Earth, seems to be affecting the appearance of the moon by turning the moon into a bloody red moon.
When the sun rays that comes from the sun light goes through the atmosphere of the Earth, they seem to carry with them the environment of gases, air, carbon dioxide that people breath out, emotions, and the pollution of the earth into the atmosphere of the moon, and when it reaches the moon, then the appearance of the moon turns into blood (red moon).
Protegido dentro de la mezquita está la pequeña capilla y santuario de San Juan Bautista (el profeta Yahia a los musulmanes), donde la tradición sostiene que la cabeza de Juan está enterrado. Una leyenda dice que cuando la iglesia fue demolida, su cabeza fue encontrada debajo, con la piel y el cabello. Esta cabeza es que algunos creen que poseen poderes mágicos y sigue siendo el foco de mandeos anuales de la peregrinación, cuando se pulse la frente en contra de la rejilla metálica del santuario y se dice que la experiencia visiones proféticas

Sheltered inside the mosque is the small chapel and shrine of John the Baptist (Prophet Yahia to the Muslims) where tradition holds that the head of John is buried. Una leyenda dice que cuando la iglesia fue demolida, su cabeza fue encontrada debajo, con la piel y el cabello. One legend says that when the church was demolished, his head was found underneath, complete with skin and hair. Esta cabeza es que algunos creen que poseen poderes mágicos y sigue siendo el foco de mandeos anuales de la peregrinación, cuando se pulse la frente en contra de la rejilla metálica del santuario y se dice que la experiencia visiones proféticas. This head is believed by some to possess magical powers and continues to be the focus of the Mandaeans' annual pilgrimage, when they press their foreheads against the metal grill of the shrine and reportedly experience prophetic visions.
I see the future, and it looks strange
I see the Beast, the world’s in change
Freedom is gone; it’s the end of days
Digital enslavement, it’s the new craze
Sky’s burning red, cities turned to dust
Future’s uncertain, the BEAST we trust
Prophetic Revelation, staring in our eyes
Wars, Famines, plagues, and battle cries
