from rilke: “try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. do not look for the answers. they cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. it is a question of experiencing everything. at present you need to live the question. perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer.”

Lieve Blancquaert – Ecce Homo - M -Museum di Leuven

 

This mother lives in Zaatari, a refugee camp with no fewer than 80.000 refugeea on the border between Jordan and Syria. She has lost her son. Blancquaert asked her just one question: Tell me about your son's life,from the moment he started growing inside you to the present day “ Speaking in her own language, the veiled mother talks of her despair, her search, the sense of loss and her heartrending grief. Though we don't understand her words, her body language tells us everything.

Banff National Park, Alberta

 

This cloud-wrapped peak caught my eye as I was scouting Two Jack and Minnewanka Lakes near Banff. I don’t know the mountain’s name; under such circumstances I shoot first and ask questions later.

It was an early and chilly morning in Buttermere, just after sunrise. I have been shooting for a little while, and I cannot begin conveying how good it felt to have all that place for myself. Having a job that demands to be constantly ‘on’, doesn’t allow much down time and at times we all need to recharge, with no distractions, clear our minds and think with greater clarity.

 

In a culture where we often confuse the notion of being alone with loneliness, the ability to appreciate that 'me-time' allows us to reap its benefits. Some value the freedom of not having to follow the lead of others, no obligation to plan ahead, and no pressure to talk to anyone.

 

Personally, I always cherish those times when I’m alone with nature, and it is in such moments that questions find answers. More than that, at those times I choose to give something to myself, quality time, and by doing so I have made myself my own first choice.

Je n'ai pas boudé mon plaisir de photographier sous toutes les coutures cette fresque murale sur le thème de la Commune de Paris, rue de la ferme Savy (où furent situées les dernières barricades), au bas du parc de Belleville à Paris. Une fresque réalisée à l'occasion des 150 ans de la Commune par l'artiste Question Mark (projet des Amies et Amis de la Commune)

While walking around and capture on my camera the beauty of the city, I was asking questions to anybody who was willing to answer. That's how I found out about this cobblestone strip street beautiful after the rain. All the colors were so vibrant. I was told this was the most photographed place. This gentleman believed this was the only place left with the authentic cobblestones. Of course no cars are allowed.

 

Thanks for your visit and kind comments.

Why is there a milk bottle on the water? 😂

Your thoughts?? Yesterday one of my Flickr friends raises an interesting question whether or not I should have moved the blue recycle bin out of my shooting scene (see image below). It was an intentional decision on my part to leave the blue recycle bin in the photo. My reason’s included 1) I liked the blue yellow colour match, 2) that triangle created by the bin-bikes-yellow building provided a leading line to the colourful building and 3) it was garbage day and in my street photography, I strive to present things as they really were.

 

For interest, and as a good Photoshop learning exercise, I tried to remove the bin from the image and see how it looked. It was a very challenging exercise and clearly I have to work on my PS skills more. However, I am curious as to your thoughts on whether the image is better with or without the blue bin and why. Thanks.

 

Thanks Lisbeth for sugggestion.

Одно из самых популярных мест Санкт-Петербурга это музей квартира Достоевского. Этот район города до сих пор обладает магией экзистенциальности автора . И всегда найдётся тот вопрос ,который может поставить в тупик даже профессионального экскурсовода! В этот раз дух Федора Михайловича коснулся и фотографа…

One of the most popular places in St. Petersburg is the museum-apartment of Dostoevsky. In this area of ​​the city, the magic of the author's existentialism has been preserved. And there is always a question that can baffle even a professional guide! This time the spirit of Fyodor Mikhailovich touched the photographer too...

Ansel Adams was quoted as saying, “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.”

I took this photo with my Nikon D7000 -- which is my favorite camera. Here is a link to a good deal on one through my Amazon store.

The questions continue...

You might remember this little hole in a fence post at St Cyrus. A few weeks ago, I'd noticed a couple of male leafcutter bees on these posts, so on another visit I looked for nest holes in the posts, and was thrilled to find one occupied hole, but was then surprised to see that it was occupied not by a bee, but by a digger wasp (`Flick' back about 10 images in my stream). Since then, when I've been at St Cyrus, I've keenly looked in on the digger wasp as I passed; it was there every day I checked. Yesterday, after a break of about 6 days, I think, I was back and checked the post to find not the digger wasp but a cute bee in the same hole! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera, so this is a quick snap on my phone.

I'm curious about what's gone on here; could they both be using the same hole?; did the wasp move out naturally, and then the bee moved in?; did the bee evict the wasp?; is one a parasite?; are they both nesting?; was one or both using it as shelter?

I'm also not sure what type of bee this is. The leafcutters I saw (a few photos in my recent uploads) have now been kindly IDd by the expert Steven Falk, as one of the rarer leafcutters, the black-headed leafcutter bee (Megachile circumcincta). This could be a female (according to his book, they usually nest in sandy ground, but have also been reported to nest in wood), but that's a wild guess.

So much to learn :D

Climate change has been and still is the subject of fierce debate for some years, many saying that there is no such thing as climate change and others professing impending doom.

 

Climate change is a natural phenomena, it has been since the beginning of time, however, mankind and the way we live our lives is influencing our planet and its climate significantly.

 

We clearly have to move away from fossil fuels, we need to find a way to deal with our waste products, plastics being dumped at sea is not an answer, the impact upon marine life is dreadful.

 

So my question is this, if mankind has had such a negative impact upon climate change, do we have enough innovative and progressive ideas and attitudes to be able to repair the damage we have caused?

..si nos vamos para el cielo o para el infierno | ...if we're going to heaven or hell |

Pues... la decisión de dónde vamos no depende de una respuesta simple. La verdadera pregunta es: ¿Estamos viviendo de una manera que nos permita tener confianza en nuestro destino?

El camino al cielo o al infierno se construye con cada elección. Cultiva la confianza en ti mismo y en tus acciones para encontrar la paz interior.

Ahora bien, la idea del cielo y el infierno es un tema complejo y personal. Tal vez sea más importante vivir con integridad y confianza en que estamos haciendo lo mejor que podemos.Así que en lugar de preocuparnos por un destino final, enfoquémonos en construir una vida llena de significado y confianza. Resulta que la felicidad verdadera se encuentra en el camino, no solo en el destino.

En resumen: la confianza en nosotros mismos y en un poder superior es lo que nos guía. Cultivando esa confianza, podemos encontrar la serenidad que buscamos.

   

Our planet is need of balance. Balance of our use of it, balance of our dependence on it, balance of exploitation of it. Balance of its wildlife, its resources, its land, its sea, its air. It's all a question of balance.

I will probably enhance this later, but for right now it is RAW or SOOC from a bit less than 2 years ago.

 

I just sort of threw this pic on as first one I've uploaded since March 23rd, 2023, or so. I've been trying to learn a new computer and having a very hard time. More to tell later, but for now I want to try to find a color RED picture for two Monday groups that I normally would have posted to last Monday.

 

I am chock full of questions about new computer, Flickr, passwords, SD card in my camera, etc. etc. It has been overwhelming and frustrating, but I'm trying to be patient, not my strong suit.

 

My son gifted me with this new computer, and it is a fantastic gift, but I am overwhelmed with all the new workings of it. I'll have questions for sure as I navigate it. I'm hoping my Flickr friends can help me with some of my questions. I'll try to post them one at a time with various pictures, so as not to overwhelm any of my viewers with all of them in one humongous post.

For "The If These Walls Could Talk (group)", some of the employees would say, this is a McDonald's Restaurant, west wall. What the heck is that lady doing taking so many pictures in the rain and way out there in the parking lot? ?? My Raintings are not about the food, the employees, the customers nor anything even close to that. But they don't know.

I did show a few of my pictures to one of the managers, several months ago; but I have no idea if he conveyed my information to any other employees.

I explained to him that I am not out there in the rain (and dark too, as it makes the best Raintings) invading anyone's privacy.

  

Question: The Lord has created all this, has He not? What

was created first? It is said light or sound was created first.

Answer: All these things, which you say have been created

have to be seen by you before you say they exist. There must

be a seer. If you find out who that seer is, then you will know

about creation and which was created first. Of course various

theories as to what came into existence first from God are given

out. Most, including scientists, agree that all has come from

light and sound.

Question: Can we call anything created, like this piece of

wood, for example, God? It is said it is very wrong to do so.

Answer: Even this piece of wood, does it exist apart from

God? Can we confine God to any time or place, since He is

everywhere and in everything? We should not see anything as

apart from God. That is all.

The question is how close to the edge of the crater should you go to get the best shot of the lava lake...

So the real question on this monkey post is why?

 

I was going to use it for the Macro Monday Ceramic theme from a couple of weeks ago but it exceeded the size specification of 3 inches ( it measured out at 4.75 in. tall by 2 in. deep) and I didn't like it cropped. The monkey was pretty excited about being featured on flickr and you can only imagine his disappointment when he got wind that I used the Hummel instead. I didn't want to [...bear a monkey...] as the expression goes even if it was my fault the next morning after a good bit of drinking so I felt it best to show him off here.

 

Ceramic lid from a German 2l stein that I received from an uncle who brought it from Germany around 1900. It's manufactured by Matthias Grimscheid, Mold #1199. It's a big stein so the wording is most appropriate: “Trag deinen Affen mit Geduld, an dem bist du nur selber Schuld.” (Bear your monkey with patience, it is your own fault.)

Taken this morning while scouting out waterfalls with my daughter. We came upon this ridge and this was the scene across the way. I liked how you could see the river on each side of the scene....The sun was doing its best to break through the clouds but I was able to get a few shots off before the harsh light took effect

Not much question, Turkey Vultures are so ugly that only their mothers could appreciate them...and then only if eyesight was failing. BUT...When these big birds are soaring on the updrafts, their flight is incomparably beautiful.

 

And they do provide a VERY useful ecology clean up function.
