As the darkness gets darker, the light shines brighter Ish 60:1-3
2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. 25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. John 12:24,25
Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4;23
Put on the whole armor of God Ephesians 6:10-18
Psalm 34
James 4:6
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
Wikipedia: The raccoon (Procyon lotor), sometimes called the common raccoon to distinguish it from other species, is a mammal native to North America. It is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in), and a body weight of 5 to 26 kg (11 to 57 lb). Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur, which insulates it against cold weather. Three of the raccoon's most distinctive features are its extremely dexterous front paws, its facial mask, and its ringed tail, which are themes in the mythologies of the indigenous peoples of the Americas relating to the animal. The raccoon is noted for its intelligence, as studies show that it is able to remember the solution to tasks for at least three years. It is usually nocturnal and omnivorous, eating about 40% invertebrates, 33% plants, and 27% vertebrates.

This open-air museum spans the Torre peninsula, Punta Herminia, O Acoroado and Cabal de Pradeira, over 47 ha, that is, occupying part of the limits of the area around the Tower (core zone). The sculptures are distributed in the green space that surrounds the Tower, in a very suggestive game of perspectives and in permanent dialogue with the monument itself. The theme chosen by the artists can be arranged around several thematic tracks:
The mythological stories that link the foundation of the Tower with Hercules himself or with the Celtic leader Breogán, whom 19th century historiography relates to the origin of the monument itself.
References to the world of the sea, navigation and routes, which tell us about that seafaring vocation that appears intrinsically linked to the past of the Galician people since the beginning of its history.
In this sculptural space, a series of pre-existing elements have been integrated, which are explained within their historical context by means of informative panels that spread the value they have within this place. Among them we can highlight: Monte dos Bicos, the Moro Cemetery and the beacons that help navigation. (Source: www.torredeherculesacoruna.com)

Las esculturas se distribuyen en el espacio verde que rodea la Torre, en un juego de perspectivas muy sugerente y en diálogo permanente con el propio monumento. La temática elegida por los artistas puede ordenarse en torno a varias vías temáticas:
Los relatos mitológicos que vinculan la fundación de la Torre con el propio Hércules o con el caudillo celta Breogán, al que la historiografía del siglo XIX relaciona con el origen del propio monumento.
Las referencias al mundo del mar, a la navegación y a las rutas, que nos hablan de esa vocación marinera que aparece intrínsecamente unida al pasado del pueblo gallego desde los inicios de su historia.
En este espacio escultórico se han integrado una serie de elementos preexistentes que se explican dentro de su contexto histórico por medio de paneles informativos que difunden el valor que tienen dentro de este paraje. Entre ellos podemos destacar: el Monte dos Bicos, el Cementerio Moro y las balizas que ayudan a la navegación.( Fuente : www.torredeherculesacoruna.com)
Est un castelnau fortifié datant du XIIIe siècle solidement ancré sur son éperon rocheux. Saint-Arailles fait partie de cette multitude de villages se rapportant à un saint. Il doit son nom à Ste Eulalie, martyrisée en 304 à Barcelone, qui a donné par différentes mutations Sancta Eulalia, Santa Ralia, Sentaralha. Deux tours-portes commandent toujours l’entrée du village (archères) et les remparts dominent la vallée. L’église de Saint Arailles a pour patron Saint Barthélémy. Son typique clocher-mur et son auvent avec sa charpente chevillée sont remarquables. à quelques mètres du village : pile gallo-romaine de la Turraque du Merlieu, la chapelle de Brétous (classée ISMH) au sud, auprès de laquelle coule la fontaine réputée miraculeuse. Le lavoir au bas du village avec sa jolie charpente

Moai known as Hoa Hakananai'a
Rapa Nui/Easter Island, Chile
The Polynesian peoples of Rapa Nui created the extraordinary stone figures (moai) for which the island is famous. From around AD 1000, Islanders invested huge resource and effort in quarrying the stone and carving the statues. Many of the moai were transported across the Island and erected onto platforms known as ahu. Ahu generally faced away from the ocean and moai gazed inwards to the land and its people. Across Polynesia, Islanders worshipped ancestors who traced their lineages back to the gods. Moai were raised in honor of important deified ancestors and could embody their spirits.
Hoa Hakananai'a is different from most other moai. He is carved from hard basalt, rather than the softer volcanic stone which was generally used. On his back are a number of carved symbols depicting frigate bird heads and human/bird figures, amongst other things. These relate to the island's 'birdman' ceremonies which were associated with fertility and access to resources. From about 1600, Islanders began to topple the statues. Hoa Hakananai'a was probably one of the last moai to be the focus of rituals.

Can relate this picture with life. Outside people shows happiness,smiling faces but inside it’s empty...
I'm posting this image to my Flickr gallery with a story... It was taken by my daughter. Its one of her first images. She is on the autism spectrum and has always struggled to express herself in ways that other people can relate to. This image she made fills me with a whole wave of emotion. I took her with me for a walk at a park one day and gave her a point and shoot camera to use since I was carrying mine. It was completely un-coached, just a girl on a walk with her dad at a large park in Seattle. Shortly after that we moved and I packed the camera away. Just the other day I found it in a box, the SD card still in it... So I downloaded them. The images she brought home are so expressive and amazing it takes my breath away. I'm just sharing this one image because it gives me hope. And, I hope it speaks to you as well. You are not alone. God bless.

Oh, why can't I be what you need?
A new improved version of me
But I'm nothing so good, no, I'm nothing...
Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs
Of violence, of love, and of sorrow
I beg for just one more tomorrow!
Where you hold me down, fold me in
Deep deep deep in the heart of your sins
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
Here I'm pinned between darkness and light
Bleached and blinded by these nights
Where I'm tossing and tortured till dawn
By you, visions of you, then you're gone
The shock bleeds the red from my face
When I hear someone's taken my place
How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel?
When all, all that I did was for you...
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two over you
Over you
I'd break in two
I would break in two for you
Now you see me
Now you don't
Now you need me
Now you don't
I wanted to work with this donut in the snow one more time, but from a different angle. This has the forest across Trout Lake in the background with the reflections touching the frosted area instead of the snow.
As well, the rock and log within the donut are much more prominent making them more crucial to the success of the photo. And finally, although it is a winter shot, there is warmth to be found in the colors of the forest such as the subtle reds.
The struggle of my life created empathy - I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.

An early morning capture of the old Birchfield Garage/filling station in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, taken during a recent visit to the area.
The history of this site appears a bit sketchy; the middle pump has prices in Pence, which dates it post decimalisation of 1971. I’ve not found any reference as to when this forecourt ceased dispensing fuel and was left to the elements, perhaps it may have fallen into disuse once the requirement to dispense fuel in Litres was mandated in 1995; the pumps are all in imperial gallons.
I saw a post recently somewhere from someone purporting to be the owner, who stated that the garage to the side of the pumps is still in use and therefore asks that posts relating to the site not be tagged as abandoned.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.
Soaring over the grasslands and fields, this northern harrier was spotted as it was hunting for its next meal. Got lucky this day as the raptor stayed relatively close to my position, instead of the usual "now you see me, now you don't" or it's other game of "catch me if you can". I'm sure that many of you can relate. LOL.
I've always said that the northern harriers are my favorite of all raptors to photograph. They have amazing beauty and grace in their flight and are generally quite effective and efficient hunters. I can only imagine the feeling of any potential dinner on the ground as it scurries for its live knowing that this is hovering in the not so nigh above. Amazing creatures.
Happy Thursday!

On a recent trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, my brother and I spent some time rock climbing and hiking in Spearfish Canyon.
Spending time in the outdoors has always held a revitalizing, healing power for me, and I think many people can relate to this.
The sweet, spicy smell of pine, the sound of a gentle wind seething through pine needles, the steady white-noise of river-rapids, the lazy, afternoon sun warning my skin, and a silence unbroken by the the incessant clamor of the city; I breathe deep, calm my mind, and feel connected to Nature, to Earth, to the Universe.
To anyone who reads this, I hope you take the time yourself to "get away from it all" and find refreshment and perspective in your life through the healing power that Nature holds. I'll leave you with a poem suggestion that sums up these feelings, and after which I titled this photo: Thanatopsis, by William Cullen Bryant. Granted, it's a bit trite and cloying at times, but I like it. Oh, and Willam was only 17 when he wrote it, so give the young romantic a little credit.
Thanks to Karen McQuilkin for suggesting and providing a link to a reading of the poem!

Giambologna, pseudonym of Jean de Boulogne (Douai, 1529 - Florence, August 13, 1608) - The Rape of the Sabine Women - original model in "raw earth" (1574-1580) - Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence
Il ratto delle sabine modello originale in "terra cruda"
Il ratto delle Sabine è un episodio mitologico relativo alla fondazione di Roma. Si riferisce ad un evento politico e strategico organizzato da Romolo. Dopo aver fondato Roma nel 753 a.C. il sovrano si trovò nella necessità di offrire delle compagne ai propri concittadini. Il ratto si consumò durante la celebrazione di un imponente spettacolo organizzato per celebrare la città. Parteciparono alcuni popoli tra i quali i Ceninensi, i Antemnati, i Crustumini e i Sabini.
Durante la manifestazione ad un cenno di Romolo i suoi uomini con le armi in pugno si impossessarono delle donne nubili. Le fonti storiche non riportano i fatti in modo chiaro. Sembra comunque che non venne ucciso alcuno e gli altri invitati tornarono nelle loro città. A loro volta però in seguito reagirono attaccando Roma ma furono sconfitti.
The Rape of the Sabine Women - original model in "raw earth".
The Rape of the Sabine Women is a mythological episode relating to the founding of Rome. It refers to a political and strategic event organized by Romulus. After founding Rome in 753 BC, the king found himself in the need to offer companions to his fellow citizens. The rat was consumed during the celebration of an imposing show organized to celebrate the city. Participated some people among which the Ceninensi, the Antemnati, the Crustumini and the Sabini.
During the demonstration to a nod of Romulus his men with weapons in fist took possession of the unmarried women. The historical sources do not report the facts clearly. It seems, however, that no one was killed and the other guests returned to their cities. In their turn, however, later reacted by attacking Rome but were defeated.

The Swiss Way relates the history of Switzerland surrounded by a scenic landscape. The trail was constructed as a joint project of the cantons on the occasion of the 700th anniversary celebrations of the Confederation (1291-1991). It begins on the Rütli Meadow, where the Confederation was founded, and ends in Brunnen in the Swiss Expatriates Square (Platz der Auslandschweizer).
that relate to my experiences :-)

The house relates to the middle 19th Century; its last owner was Kuryk Mykola Vasylovych. The house comprises of three parts – a house, a mudroom and a small house. Its external walls aren’t covered, only strips are painted around its windows and doors. Such strips are specific for houses from Vyzhytskyj and Putylivskyj districts of Chernivtsi Region. Art painting and strips are very distinct decorations for houses of lowland Bukovyna. The house’s joyful interior is created by grapes depicted on the stove, around windows and on pokut (the sacred place of a traditional home). The most widespread patterns in Korytne village are grapes, arrow-wood leaves, hops and crosses on bases.
The house is built of smereka and poplar wood, its area equals to 58.8 square meters.
Хата із села Коритне Вижницького району Чернівецької області
Датується серединою ХІХ ст. Останній власник - Курик Микола Васильович. Складається із трьох частин - хати, сіней і хатчини. Зовні хата не мащена, тільки підведені смуги коло вікон та дверей. Така підводка характерна тільки для хат з Вижницького та Путильського районів Чернівецької області. Характерною декоративною оздобою для хат підгірської Буковини є розпис і підводка. Святковий інтер’єр у великій хаті створює розпис у виноград на печі, коло вікон на покуті. Найбільш поширений розпис у с.Коритному – «виноград», «калиновий лист», «хмелик» та «хрести на постаменті».
Хата з Буковини. Складена вона з кругляка смереки і тополі в прості замки з торцями. До верхів зрубу торці подовжуються і переходять ніби в кронштейни. Дах чотирисхилий, покритий соломою.
Площа споруди – 58,8 кв.м.
It relates to 18th Century. As of the time of transfer to the museum, the house was the oldest in the village and belonged to Oros family. The house has two premises: house and mudroom. It is one of the most ancient types of house planning in Zakarpattia. Walls of the house are constructed with wide oak cut blocks. Its high four-sloping roof is covered with straw.
This house is the oldest Zakarpattia house in our museum. It displays specific features of national building in valley of Tereblia-river and the middle reaches of Tysa River. The house’s area is 35.4 square meters.
Look at the exterior of the hut:
Характерною ознакою житла лемків (етнографічної групи українського народу), як і бойків, були білий та синій кольори.
Хата із с. Теребля, Тячівського району Закарпатської області
Датується XVIII ст. На час перенесення до музею хата була найстарішою в селі і належала родині Оросів. Хата дводільна: хата, сіни – є одним із давніх варіантів планування житла на Закарпатті. Стіни хати складені з широких дубових колених брусів. Високий чотирисхилий дах вкритий соломою.
Це найстаріша хата Закарпаття в експозиції нашого музею. Вона розкриває особливості народного будівництва у долині ріки Теребля та середньої течії р. Тиси. Площа хати — 35, 4 кв.м.
When arriving at Sargeant Beach, I could not help but notice the most unusual item that had floated ashore. A tree branch had lodged itself in the rocks on the beach in a most usual, and peculiar way.
It was fun working on this articulated and oddly shaped newcomer to Sargeant Beach. I wanted to illustrate that its final resting place, left it reaching for the sky. That it still longs to get back to the ocean. and how it relates to its surrounding area. While a forested area is close by, it seems to hover over distant islands. And how its unique form, differs from the rest.

l'abbaye est un ensemble monumental exceptionnel pour son architecture et son histoire relatée depuis ses origines par deux chroniques du XIIIe siècle et du XVIIe siècle. C’est dans la première moitié du XIIe siècle que le chapelain Lambert, aussi appelé « le bienheureux » (l’histoire veut que dans sa jeunesse, il se soit livré à la chasse et tué un dragon qui ravageait le pays) décide de réunir quelques prêtres pour se consacrer à la vie régulière et fonde la première abbaye de style roman. La congrégation ne cesse de s’enrichir et à la fin du XIIe siècle, l’abbé Junius engage la construction d’une seconde abbaye. Les vestiges primitifs ne sont plus visibles aujourd’hui, détruits pour terminer l’implantation de la nouvelle église et des bâtiments conventuels. Deux campagnes de construction se distinguent : la première témoigne de l’héritage roman au niveau des supports, des décors et de sculptures dans le transept, la chapelle et le chœur. La seconde est l’expression du gothique de l’ouest dit « Plantagenêt ». Suite à la guerre de Cent Ans, au XVe siècle, les deux travées occidentales de la nef et la façade furent reconstruites dans le style gothique flamboyant (XVe – XVIe). Vendus comme bien national après la Révolution, les vestiges de l’abbaye sont exploités comme carrière jusqu’à leur classement au titre des Monuments historiques en 1904.

The River Ver in Hertfordshire is a chalk stream and has cut, modestly I should say, into the surrounding limestone - just enough to create a path through the Chiltern Hills, and enough for the Romans to build a road here connecting London with the North. The history of the village of Markyate is entirely shaped by this road (and its successors) and all the functions relating to the transport of goods and people. Some houses such as these ones in the foreground have crept up the flanks of the river ("Pickford Hill" in this case), but most stayed down in the valley ground. Up on the hills you would find farms and agriculture. It is also true that small industries have moved in - together with lots of interesting people who decided to leave the big city.

As a freelancer I can relate to this image, the struggle to make living using antiquated equipment, the long hours and stressful delays.
I made the image in taxi on the way back from a meeting with a potential client on the banks of the Cairo Nile, we were stuck in the mother of all traffic jams, the driver was tired and stressed, I was, for once content as I had eaten fish and concluded what I thought was a successful meeting. Now I look back, the real success was this image, which is one of my favourites.
