When you love somebody
They'll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory
Can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered
Don't wanna live in vain
But nothing lasts forever
This world is in a losing game
I wanna mean something to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It's not enough to live out a lucky life
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine

Park at Realization Point, take the Range View Trail, which offers views like this. I took this on December 16, and although I took micro spikes, there was no need for them. Usually, this is a snowy trail in December.
The Indian Peaks Wilderness Area is on the horizon. Niwot Ridge, the site of the University of Colorado Mountain Research Station, is also visible.
Boulder Canyon is in the very center of the photo.
Manhattan, NYC. This gentleman was actually signaling to his girlfriend (she had gone into the subway entrance behind the window).
I've Finally Reached THE WONDER YEARS
WONDER where I parked the bike?
WONDER where I left My phone?
WONDER where My glasses are?
WONDER what day it is?
WONDER what I came into the kitchen for?
Etc..Etc..Etc...
First afternoon off work because I felt like it...upon arrival...the realization that idle time is a burden set in...the mind wanders...there was only one solution...take a walk with the MKIII and the 100-400mm. After about 15 minutes in the still 85 Deg F heat I was done...my first thoughts on what to call this shoot was "Butterflies & B.S." A Variety of Things Seen.
There had been a passing shower and these little pink wildflowers were glistening in the late afternoon Sun.

For Thomas, self-realization in the larger story calls for a reinvention of ourselves as participating in our genetic relatedness to Earth, as well as in the material elements of the universe. The challenge that Thomas himself underwent by integrating cultural and evolutionary history became his prophetic call. He called humans back from a hyper-individualism trapped in a use-relationship with an objectified, dead world. The three mediations evident in the cultural historical record inspired him to call for a communion experience with the Earth community as continuing the emergence of the universe.
--Thomas Berry, “The Role of the Church in the 21st Century,” in The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth, ed. Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 2009), 58.

It matters not where I go while moving about in nature. I do not need to take costly trips to far away locations. It would be cool to see Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and so many other great national parks, but the thought of big summer crowds always keeps me away.
For me, there is still so much to see in the Olympic National Park, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker and the North Cascades, that I truly feel as if my roots will remain home. The next 25 plus years will be here and I like it that way.
I am at peace in any forest setting with moving water near by. The Gray Wolf River above gave me a chance to sit and marvel at how lucky I am to live here in Washington state.

The Outer Garden

The motif of the new garden is the Noh play "Hagoromo."
Noh is one of Japan’s traditional types of theater with more than 600 years of history.
In the story, a fisherman named Hakuryō finds a celestial robe (hagoromo) on the shore. He intends to keep it as a family heirloom, but the celestial maiden laments her inability to return to the celestial realm without her robe. Moved by her sorrow, Hakuryō sympathizes and agrees to return the robe in exchange for witnessing her celestial dance. Although the celestial maiden initially hesitates, fearing Hakuryō's doubt, she eventually returns to the heavens after performing her graceful dance, leaving behind blessings upon the land.
The garden's design draws inspiration from traditional Japanese paintings, aiming to represent two-dimensional elements in a three-dimensional space. It features representations of white clouds and waves, symbolizing the celestial realm and the waterside, respectively.
As I repeatedly reconstruct the garden to align with my vision, I sometimes doubt whether it truly conveys the warmth I intend. In moments of uncertainty, I find solace in the unwavering support and trust of AKI69, whose presence has been instrumental in the realization of this project. The beauty of the architecture, plants, and creatures within the garden constantly inspires and encourages me.
May this new garden become a testament to beauty, enriching your soul with its presence.
Looking forward to the enchanting presence of celestial beings in this garden where the worlds of the sea and sky intertwine without doubt.

新庭のモチーフは能楽「羽衣」です。
漁師の伯陵が浜辺で天女の羽衣を見つけ、家宝にしようと手に取りますが、天女が羽衣が無ければ月の世界（天界）へ帰れない事を嘆き悲しむ様に白陵は同情し羽衣を返す代わりに月の舞（天界の舞）を見せて欲しいと願います。天女は羽衣がなければ舞えないので先にお返し下さいと言いますが、白陵は羽衣を返せば天女は舞を踊らず、すぐに帰ってしまうのではないかと疑います。天女はそれは人間が持つ疑いで天界には偽りは無しと語り、白陵は天女を信じ羽衣を返します。天女は鳳凰の如く国土に瑞兆を降ら踊りながら天に帰っていくシンプルながら気高いストーリーと美しい舞が特徴の能楽です。
庭の構成は、立体を平面で表現し続けた日本の絵画から着想を得て、白雲と白波を製作し月の世界と水辺の階層表現としました。
自分は何度も庭の基本を組み、より目指す庭に近くなるようオブジェクトや構成を変えて組み直し完成を目指す中、庭の持つ温度が伝わるのかを己を怪しむ自分がいるのも確かです。
不信の時に、もしかしたらあの人ならば伝わるかも知れないと願い確固たる至心の存在AKI69に感謝と信頼を。貴方の存在なしでは完成まで至らなかった、美しい建築や植物達、愛らしい姿を見るたびに勇気を与えられ満ちていく。
庭に来てくれた方々の中へ新庭が美しさの塵となって降り積もっていく事を願う。
疑心なき月の世界、白陵が生きた海が空と交わる庭に麗しき天人天女の皆々様が現れることを楽しみにしています。

This is the realization of a trip I have been wanting to do for a long time...
A trio of Deseret Power Railway E60Cs departs the Deserado Mine loadout near Dinosaur, CO with the morning loads for the Bonanza Power Plant near Bonanza, UT. The train will take about an hour to cover the 35 miles between the two points on a line with no rail connections.
I suppose the employee in the truck was wondering what I was up to, but when he saw me scrambling to pack up to get to the next location, he smiled and said "better hurry."
Taken from public property.
Walking the other day / the realization came / that many of the ideas not sought / or even unwanted / still lingered on in my brain / and formed intrinsic synapses / which in union influenced / any further creative process.
(thanks to Jeanine for the hint)

The sudden realization that 'vegan' wasn't a choice on the menu of life!
This owlet was photographed in the wild, non raptor show, non baited, non zoo!

You smiled at me
and suddenly
I realized;
until he found
his flower,
the honeybee
did not even begin
to realize
he was a honeybee
at all.

Sh2-132, es una enorme nebulosa de emisión muy débil, situada en la zona sur de la constelación de Cefeo, se encuentra a una distancia de unos 10.400 años luz, en el interior del brazo de Perseo. Las estrellas responsables de la ionización del gas son muy calientes y masivas; en particular, se han identificado dos estrella Wolf-Rayet, llamadas HD 211564 y HD 211853, así como una estrella de clase espectral y una docena de estrellas de clase B. Alrededor de la estrella de tipo O y una de las estrellas Wolf-Rayet crece una burbuja claramente visible en la banda de ondas de radio, llamada Shell B, probablemente se originó a partir del viento estelar de las dos estrellas masivas.

Sh2-132, a huge, very faint emission nebula, located in the southern part of the constellation Cepheus, is at a distance of about 10,400 light-years, inside the Perseus arm. The stars responsible for the ionization of the gas are very hot and massive; in particular, two Wolf-Rayet stars, named HD 211564 and HD 211853, as well as one spectral class star and a dozen B-class stars have been identified. Around the O-type star and one of the Wolf-Rayet stars grows a clearly visible bubble in the radio waveband, called Shell B, probably originated from the stellar wind of the two massive stars.

You cannot believe how fast these animals can run!
This is the only mammalian marsupial in North America. Although many people think they are ugly and dangerous, they are harmless omnivores, that scavenge from dusk to dawn trying to avoid human contact. When cornered the may hiss and bear their teeth, but as a last resort they play dead and emit a foul odor.

"I think you can understand the challenge of what Robert Bresson termed "necessary images," especially as it relates to the reduction of the mystery of faith from the broadest of its dimensions to a human 2D image. I have been wrestling with how to move beyond the confines of the iconic and traditional to explore faith and mystery in visual terms that make it intriguing, appealing, and approachable. I suppose it will always be a journey and never a destination"
a realization that there really isn't much difference between a hide or a skin, except for a splash of color.
Sri Sri Ramakrishna said
“The goal of human life is the realization of the Ultimate Reality which alone can give man supreme fulfilment and everlasting peace. This is the essence of all religions.”
Swami Vivekananda has said
“Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.”
But probably his best quote is
"Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached" (Uttisthata Jagrata Prapya Varannibodhata Kshurasanna Dhara Nishita Durataya durgama Pathah tat kavayo Vadanti)is a slogan popularized in the late 19th century by Indian Hindu monk and philosopher Swami Vivekananda, who took inspiration in a sloka of Katha Upanishad. It was his message to the world to get out of their hypnotized state of mind and discover their true nature.
The sloka is inscribed on the main stage of an auditorium of Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Kolkata, a branch of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. This shloka is also the basis of the title of the book The Razor's Edge and the 1946 film and the 1984 film, and also of various music albums in the west by bands like AC/DC, Dave Holland, etc.
Elections for the European Parliament are being held on Sunday, June 7, 2009, in all member States of the European Union.
Politicians and political institutions around the world have failed so much lately that voters in Europe as well doubt their basic use for their everyday lives. At times of a global crisis there's hardly anything worse that doubting not just this or that leadership but the ability to lead, in general! There's hardly anything worse than doubting the fundamental use and value of the very institutions that were supposedly established and developed to protect people's welfare!
However, this is precisely the case right now. People have come to the sudden and painful realization that they have next to nothing to expect from their political leaders, that they are mostly alone and should only depend on themselves if they are ever going to make it to the other end of the tunnel.
What the sign reads, the way I have photographed and composed it, is also the basic question to the European voters: "Will you vote?"

captured in palma de mallorca, this photo depicts the silhouette of a man deep in thought, with the shadow of a street lamp cast above him. in german, there is a saying "ein licht geht auf," which means "a light goes on" when someone finds a solution or understands something. the interplay of light and shadow in this image beautifully symbolizes the moment of realization and clarity.
the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

The main differences with the previous version are:
- higher stiffness of the camera support
- Improvement of the positioning system
- acquisition stack sequence automated with Arduino
- whole process controlled by PC
To simplify the realization and considering that it is intended for a studio-system I have chosen to control everything from PC and not locally
