...::: NIve - Till you say i go :::...
Till you say i go
Say whatever’s on your mind
I’ll never let your heart just sink
Drown in colors that aren’t blue
And say, whatever makes you cry
I’ll never let your tears make a river
I’ll just linger by your side
When the night just feels too long
When the night just feels so cold
I will stay, wait a million years
I will stay, till you say I go
Dance under these shining stars
I’ll sing you a song, a lullaby
Gently whisper in your ears
And come let me guide you home
Wandering love just hold my hand
I will walk with you till the end
When the night just feels too long
I’ll stay till you say I go

Sorry comments that doesn't relate to the photo & copy paste will be deleted.
Conventional photography by definition relates to the surface of things. This is because it is a visual record of light reflected from the surface of things. There are, of course, other forms of photography connected to forms of radiation other than visible light (x-rays e.g.). But in general, our photos show surfaces, not what is underneath. You would need to be told that underneath, just where the silhouette of the WWI soldier stands, the River Ver is crossing the road - in a pipe and still very small. From there, it flows via Redbourn to St. Albans, the Roman city which in antiquity was called Verulamium. And here comes the thing: our minds are not satisfied with surfaces only. Even if surfaces are all we have got visually, we still try to extract "meaning" from the image, that is, we go underneath or "behind" the image. We are built like that. We human beings are extremely good at making associations. We are creators of meaning. Most of us, I guess, would have no problems with connecting the soldier's silhouette with the large lorry to the right and tell a story. It is just not true that we believe only those things we can see. Our world of imagination is more like a dancer using the surface as a playground. Leica M Mono, Voigtlander CS 2.2/50.
These steps in the town of Vieste are quite striking. The graffiti relates to the local legend of the love between Pizzomuno and Cristalda. Max Gazze released a song about the legend in recent times.
"An historic staircase in Vieste has been covered with romantic phrases to remember the touching legend of Cristalda and Pizzomunno.
This staircase celebrates the love with the verses of the song by Max Gazzè, The legend of Cristalda and Pizzomunno, interpreted by the singer at the Sanremo Festival 2018.
As with all the news, even this choice has produced many controversies. Some have defined this staircase, "the stairway of discord" and not of love. Reason? Not all the Viestans agreed that these romantic phrases were made on this staircase.
For older Viestans this staircase is a real memory that should not be touched. Controversy aside, the song that made us rediscover the ancient legend of the Gargano has infused the town of Vieste with love."
don't relate to you
I don't relate to you, no
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
You made me hate this city
And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me fucking sad
So don't waste the time I don't have
And don't try to make me feel bad
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends
So I shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid
In japan, new terms start in April, and also cherry blossom season
Yeah ! … Peoples new life begins with Spring … :))

Astronomical spring relates to the position of the earth in relation to the sun, while meteorological spring relates to the warming temperatures from March through May. For meteorologists and climatologists, spring begins March 1.
This piece was created in response to a call out for submissions for a Batik Guild exhibition on the theme of 'Patterns of Change.'
An artistic response to climate change.
Typically I finished this not far from the deadline and submitted my photo and application for judging.
'This work started with me quite freely making marks, spontaneously playing with the batik process. There arose a playfulness in my thoughts that began to take form in the work being created, like converging energy flows running their own course then uniting as one.
It relates to the theme of patterns of change by acknowledging, with a childlike sense of wonder our need to live harmoniously and at one with nature.'
Glad to say that it's been accepted and will be exhibited alongside the works of other guild members in the gallery of the Naples Botanical Gardens in Florida, USA from May 4th to June 30th 2024 and is part of the International Year of Batik celebrations.

Vincent of Beauvais relates that at this time there was a young cleric at Lyons who had a dream in which he beheld a mountain with a beautiful city standing on the top of it. This city attracted him mightily so that he longed to get there. But between him and the mountain was a river, and in the river he saw twelve men washing their garments. With them was another, different from them, in a shining white robe who was helping them in their task. The cleric asked the stranger who they all were, and He replied that He was Jesus Christ and that those were men doing penance with His aid, and as soon as their robes were clean, they would be able to go on to the city which they all desired, that is, to heaven. Some time later the cleric told his dream to the Bishop of Châlons, who advised him on the strength of it to enter Cîteaux. He accordingly made his way to the woods where the monks were dwelling, and finally found the enclosure of the little monastery. The gate was made of wattles, and there was an iron hammer hanging there for a knocker. When the porter responded to his summons, what was the astonishment of the cleric to recognize him as one of the men in his dream. He also recognized all the other members of the community too, and he was not long in becoming one of them.

Saint Evangelist Luke on a sail under the images of the prophets (from left to right Ezekiel, Isaiah, Aaron).
Artist Ivan Yizhakevich (1864-1963).
Ezekiel, also spelled Ezechiel, was an Israelite priest.
The Book of Ezekiel, relating his visions and acts, is named after him.
The Abrahamic religions acknowledge Ezekiel as a prophet. According to the narrative, Ezekiel prophesied the destruction of Judah's capital city Jerusalem. Then in 587 BCE, the Babylonian empire conquered Jerusalem, destroyed Solomon's Temple, and sent the Jewish upper classes into the Babylonian captivity.
However, Ezekiel also prophesied the eventual restoration of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. It is believed he died around 570 BCE; Ezekiel's Tomb is the most important Jewish religious site in Mesopotamia. Three decades later in 539 BCE, the Persian empire conquered Babylon and the Edict of Cyrus repatriated the Jews in the return to Zion.
The name "Ezekiel" means "God is strong" or "God strengthens" in Hebrew.
Isaiah - one of the biblical prophets, coming from a noble Jewish priestly family, was born in Jerusalem around 765 BC. e. He prophesied in Hebrew. Isaiah is notable primarily for its prophecies about the Messiah.
Aaron - according to Abrahamic religions, he was a prophet, a high priest, and the elder brother of Moses. Knowledge of Aaron, along with his brother Moses, exclusively comes from religious texts, such as the Bible and the Quran.
Святий Євангеліст Лука на вітрилі під зображеннями пророків (зліва направо Єзекіїль, Ісая, Аарон).
Художник Іван Їжакевич (1864-1963).
Святий апостол і євангелист Лука походив з Антіохії Сирійської. Чоловіком він був дуже ученим, добре знав лікарську справу. Згідно з переданням, яке збереглося у греків і знайшло своє відображення у їхніх Мінеях, а звідти перейшло і до наших церковних книг, святий Лука був одним із сімдесяти учнів. Це йому і Клеопі дорогою до Емауса об’явився Христос Спаситель після свого Воскресення.
/Кость Маркович, Кафедра Сакрального мистецтва Львівської національної академії мистецтв, «Святий Апостол i Євангелист Лука». Християнський голос N 20, 2018/
Єзекіїль - у християнстві шанується як святий у літургічному календарі Східної Православної Церкви — і тих Східних Католицьких Церков, які наслідують візантійський обряд.
Святий Бонавентура витлумачив твердження Єзекіїля про «закриту браму» як пророцтво про Втілення: «брама» означають Діву Марію, а «князь» належить до Ісуса. Це одне із читань на вечірні у великі свята Богородиці у Східних Православних та Візантійських Католицьких Церквах: «Ніхто не може увійти до Раю, окрім як через Марію, як через двері». Образ дає основу концепції, що Бог дав Марію людству як «Врата Небесні» (звідси посвята церков і монастирів, ідея також викладена у молитві Salve Regina ( Радуйся, Свята Королева ).
Ісая - один із біблійних пророків, походець зі знатної єврейської священицької родини, народився в Єрусалимі близько 765 року до нашої ери. Він пророкував на івриті. Книга Ісаї примітна насамперед своїми пророцтвами про Месію.
Книга Ісаї багаторазово цитується авторами Нового Завіту. В Євангелії від Іоанна говориться, що Ісайя «бачив славу Ісуса і говорив про Нього».
Григорій Ніський (бл. 335–395) вважав, що пророк Ісайя «знав досконаліше, ніж всі інші, таємницю релігії Євангелія». Ієронім (бл. 342–420) також вихваляє пророка Ісайю, кажучи: «Він був більше євангелістом, ніж пророком, тому що він описував усі Таїнства Церкви Христової так живо, що можна було подумати, що він не пророкував про майбутнє, а скоріше писав історію минулих подій».
Нащадками Аарона були батько і мати Іоанна Хрестителя праведні Захарія (оскільки він був священиком) та Єлисавета (Лк. 1:5). Апостол Павло говорить про те, що священство Аарона минуще, «бо з ним пов'язаний закон» (Євр. 7:11), йому на зміну йде Ісус Христос – священик за чином Мелхиседека. У православ'ї Аарона згадують у Тиждень святих предків.

The title relates to the previous photo. The event from which this picture comes, was the first one organized by Pomeranian Railfans Society with the old Ganz-MÁVAG's SN61-183. The journey took one day and covered some used and unused railway lines in North-Western Poland. Here, the diesel motor car in Złocieniec, before depart to Grotniki Drawskie. October 28, 2000.
Złocieniec is a knot point station built in 1877 and originally named Falkenburg, with the suffix (Pommern) added later. It used to have a steam locomotive depot for three locomotives to serve the two railway lines 210 (Chojnice - Runowo Pomorskie) and 410 (Grotniki Drawskie - Choszczno), which meet here, with the latter originally running from Grzmiąca, 61 kilometers further.

The legend of Saint Sigfrid of Sweden relates how Sigfrid, a missionary from England, chose Växjö as the site to build a cathedral. He was said to also have been buried in the cathedral that he founded. While the legend is largely unreliable as a historical source, it is probable that a wooden church was built on the same site as the current cathedral in the 11th century, during the Christianization of Scandinavia. Coins from the 11th century have been found during excavations within the church, and a preserved Christian runestone from the same century (Rundata number Sm 10), today located next to the choir wall, may be further indication of the early presence of a wooden church on the site. (Wikipedia)
I cannot relate the story behind this little scene, all I can do is to relate the circumstance.
I was enjoying my early morning walk to fetch the morning newspapers when this odd picture leapt into my vision. It was much too early for the site workers to have started their days work though.
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 річки Тиси. Площа хати — 35, 4 кв.м.
Орос Ярослав (родина з Тячівського району) - журналіст, відомий у літературі як ідеолог українського арійства:
“Ментально і культурно українці належать до західної цивілізації. Сучасний конфлікт із Росією — насправді цивілізаційний конфлікт. Війна на Донбасі — це війна між західною цивілізацією та азійською, виразником якої є сучасна Росія. Захоплюючись мужністю у відстоюванні європейських цінностей під час Революції гідності, сучасний французький філософ Бернар-Анрі Леві сказав: «Я французький громадянин, я — європейський федераліст, але сьогодні на Майдані, який нагадав Європі про її першочергові покликання, я також українець».
Фактично Леві у такий спосіб потрактував ідею Освальда Шпенґлера про старіння європейської культури («Присмерк Європи»). Україна, Литва, Польща — надія старої Європи, її свіжа енергія. У питанні європейських цінностей і свободи ми готові воювати і покласти за це життя, а Західна Європа до цього вже не готова.
Вона занадто розбещена комфортом і достатком. Ідея арійства допоможе нам бути сильнішими, сміливішими, енергійнішими — компенсувати покірність, століттями нав’язувану російським православ’ям. Арійство не заперечує християнську любов чи мораль, а повертає до першо¬джерел. Сучасне українське суспільство хоче бути цивілізованим, культурно й економічно конкурентним. І арійство — та духовна сила, що допоможе нам такими стати.”

Greymouth, NOVA ZELANDA 2023
History House Museum is a collection of photographic and archival records and historical objects relating to Grey District on the West Coast of New Zealand. The museum opened in the former Grey County Council Chambers in 1996, but the building was deemed unsafe in the event of an earthquake and forced to close in 2017. A new home for the collection is being sought
History House Museum was housed in the former Grey County Council Chambers at 27 Gresson Street, Greymouth. The Grey County Council was formed in 1877, and built the Grey County Council Chambers in 1924. In 1989 the building was vacated when the County Council amalgamated with the boroughs of Greymouth and Runanga and the Greymouth Harbour Board to form the Grey District Council.
The project to turn the empty building into a history museum was instigated by former deputy mayor Kevin Brown, Mayor of Grey Ron Hibbs, and Kevin Beams of Grey District Council. Kevin Brown recruited volunteers from the Lions, family, and local community to fit out the building and assemble a collection. The museum opened in 1996, with Brown as manager. When Brown was elected Mayor in 1998, volunteer Bob Naisbitt took over the running of the museum, along with assistant historian Margaret Mort. By 2013 Margaret Mort and Karen Prendergast were running the History House.
Volunteers Jack Flood and George Gardner apply a paint job to the Standard Austin-Western Grader outside History House Museum. The Grey County Council purchased the grader in 1920 for £225.
In February 2017 a seismic assessment of the Grey County Council Chambers found it was at only 10 per cent of the new building standard (NBS), well below the 34 per cent required for a public building; the standards had been revised following the 2010–2011 Christchurch earthquakes. The cost to strengthen the building would be $142,000, and it is in a flood zone. The museum was closed and the archives moved to the Grey District Library. Several options were pursued: eventually incorporating the museum into a "Discovery Centre", disbanding the collection, or moving to another space – the former Dick Smith premises at 130 Mackay Street at a cost of $50,000/year – in conjunction with an iSite visitor centre.
The location of the museum (at the other end of town from the railway station where most tourists arrived) and the lack of signage were blamed for the low visitor numbers: about 6–8 people a day.[3][8] The Greymouth iSite manager Phil Barnett claimed tourists were simply not interested in its collections.
In any event the Protected Objects Act and Public Records Act required the collection to be catalogued before moving, at a cost of over $100,000. One consultant suggested the bulk of the collection was not "of sufficient merit" to be archived. The archives at the museum also needed to be properly stored; the Council Chambers are unsuitable and in a flood zone. There is no regional archive on the West Coast, although Shantytown near Greymouth had offered to host one.

After a stocktake of the collection, items relevant to other West Coast districts were sent to the Hokitika Museum and Coaltown Museum. The museum operated from a pop-up space in the former Dick Smith premises, operating Wednesday to Sunday afternoons from 20 December 2017. The space had to close in July 2018 but had 1200 visitors in the first month and 9000 visitors in total, compared to the 1200 visitors a year at its former home.
In September 2018, the Council budgeted $140,000 to strengthen the Gresson Street building, but resolved to move the museum to a new discovery centre combining a library and museum some time in the future. The cost to reopen History House was estimated at $455,000, and just to make the building safe would be $170,000: even strengthened the former Council building would still have problems with climate control, fire safety, and storage. The former manager Kevin Brown took back his extensive photograph collection in protest at the lack of progress in strengthening the building. In 2020 the building was emptied and the collection moved into two climate-controlled shipping containers at a cost of $90,000.

This work relates to an analogy made by Glabush between paintings and individuals: "there is no starting point within the painting and it appears all at once, similar to the way we perceive a person. A person has a history and is the product of embodied memory and experience, and imagination. But when we seek to really see a persona we perceive a totality not a collection of parts."

I can relate. While on vacation getting in some 25-30 thousand steps in a day, it can be a challenge sometimes to be cordial.
The Tour métallique de Fourvière ("Metallic tower of Fourvière"), a landmark of Lyon, France, is a steel framework tower which bears a striking resemblance to the Eiffel Tower, which predates it by three years. With a height of 101 m (331 ft), previously 85.9 m (282 ft) before installation of the TV broadcasting antenna, and weighing 210 tons, the "metallic tower" was built between 1892 and 1894.

Sometimes, Scott and I don't make the best choices, like heading out to Farhaven Beach to get some shots of Lake Beach without truly gearing up.
As I mentioned a while ago, my good winter coat died and I've yet to find a replacement, and today I learned that I need to pick up the pace on that search.
That wind just cuts through you on days like this, especially being so close to the water. Scott stayed out there a bit longer than I did, I basically got my shot, tried a few other things and ran off, while he stayed and waited for the sun to dip just a bit lower than it was.
Photographers, we're crazy people.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Definition by Merriam-Webster: of, relating to, or being a mechanism in which data is represented by continuously variable physical quantities.
How does this relate to us??? It's Everything we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell. A continuous stream of information to our senses.
This capture is a point on my stream of consciousness which I have just shared with you (thus making it a part of your stream of consciousness).
Said starway isn't what I was standing on while taking the picture, it rather relates to the current state of the locomotive presented on the picture. The ET42-025 shown here running alone through Kraków Mydlniki in the direction of Zabierzów is no more in service (presumably hasn't been for a couple of months now), and the railway station has undergone a massive modernisation, leading to a classically standardised look without the footbridge or any romanticism ;), as you can see by yourself over here.
In general the whole ET42 class of engines is coming to an inevitable end, as more and more Dragon locomotives are delivered from Newag to PKP Cargo. At the time of writing this description (12.01.2024) there are only 17 locomotives in service, from what used to be a series of 50 engines produced between 1978-1982 in НЭВЗ (Новочеркасск, Russia). They were innitially mostly deployed on the railway line connecting Silesia with the northern harbours in Gdynia and Gdańsk, but in recent years also spread to majority of the country, even becoming relatively common in Warsaw since around 2018, which was unthinkable beforehand.
From what I heard, the ET42 locomotives were generally a pretty successful series, thanks to being based on ВЛ10 engines, which had already been after years of service in the harshest conditions of the Soviet Union. Extremely reliable, easy to repair, but not without their downsides, the worst of which is that the locomotives could get extremely hot in summer, forcing drivers to provide different ways of cooling by themselves.
A little curiosity on all of the engines is their paint scheme, which differed from the standardised PKP livery. All ET42 locos had a big V-shape at the very front, presumably as a tribute to the ВЛ10 forefathers. The colour of the stripe making up the V differed across the years, together with the general paint schemes of PKP, but never really disappeared until the corporate scheme of PKP Cargo was introduced. Initially yellow on minty green background, then it turned to orange with the introduction of the 'yellow fronts' in 1989 and finally settled on red after the grassy-green livery was made the new standard. Despite generally liking the yellow fronts, I find that the red stripe on grassy green fits these Soviet monsters best.
The nicknames, which the railfans came up with included Czapajew and Rusek, generally very generic names which could theoretically be attributed to any locomotive of Soviet origin, just as Gagarin become a common way to call ST44.

I am sure all of you can relate to the feeling of waiting for a moment or a photo opportunity for months and years and then feeling giddy with joy (and quite overwhelmed) when it actually arrives. For me that was Kenya. I am sure you guys have deduced that by now, based on my endless rambling, but moving on!
Not only have a dreamt of taking photos of the great African wilderness for years but in my little head I have dreamt about that ‘moment’ when all the elements come together and I KNOW I have taken a good shot. There is no greater joy than that moment is there? My trip was filled with several such moments including the one above. Would you believe that this herd is right outside our lodge - Ol Tukai, less than 200 m away? Look at them marching without a care in world. And look at that adorable baby, with its trunk, totally out of control! It is the very definition of surreal.

"The Surrender" This is a self-portrait I created a few months back. The location is a dried up lake called Øyeren, which is located just a few miles outside of Oslo. This image represents the days you just want to surrender and disappear from the face of the earth. I'm sure everybody can relate to this in one way or another... If you want to learn more about my creative process, check out my latest blog post!
I chose this name as the definition relates to regions beyond our earth/celestial and heavenly and it also happens to be the soundtrack that was used in the video I created (music by Stelladrone) see here on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MKCZJYChmE

There is a theory about stripes relating to sex workers and street entertainers. As you may also know, stripes have always been somewhat transgressive and associated with prisoners.
Additionally, it has been said that the 13th-century Carmelites who arrived in Paris from Palestine in two-tone cloaks so offended decorum that Pope Boniface VIII banned all religious orders from slipping into anything stripy.
But as you examine this very sexy YoU By GeMyles Arabella Robe, Bra & Panties Set, you will find yourself thinking about how stripes beautifully enhance the contours of a woman’s body - concluding in your mind that there is also something to these speculations about their sensual yet naughty vibe.
I paired this Arabella Set with YoU By GeMyles' Carlyne Boots which Color Hud works flawlessly with color-matching that of the Arabella Set.
Fits: Belleza genX Classic (+ curvy), Maitreya Lara (+ Petite + Mounds), Inithium Kupra, Legacy (+ Perky + Nerido), and Inithium Kupra mesh bodies.
Both the Arabella Set and the Carlyne Boots are exclusively available at the SWANK Fall into Autumn Event for November.

In 1943 Dutch artist M. C. Escher created a reptile lithograph that depicts a desk on which there is a drawing of a pattern of reptiles. The reptiles come to life and crawl around the desk, over the objects on it and eventually re-enter the drawing.
Escher would love the colors and patterns here! The Common Agama, Red-headed Rock Agama, or Rainbow Agama (Agama agama) is a species of lizard from the Agamidae family, found in most of Subsaharan Africa.
It can often be seen in the heat of the day. In the breeding season, the males develop dramatically colorful markings, the head and neck and tail turning bright orange, and the body dark blue. Outside of the breeding season, the male is a plain brown. The females and juveniles are always more cryptically marked. This lizard can be found climbing rocks and walls. Its primary source of food is insects.
The males are territorial, claiming small to medium patches of land which they defend against other mature males. Juveniles and females reside within the territories unchallenged. The mature males become agitated when confronting each other; nodding vigorously, arching, skipping sideways, and clashing tails. The loser is chased out of the territory.

A long exposure here relates to the tired weather beaten lighthouse situated at the end of Neist Point on the extreme Western tip of the Isle of Skye.
This iconic landmark is quite dishevelled when you get up close to it. I spent some time exploring this location on a recent trip to the island. This was the best of several attempts at a long exposure shot from the top of the cliffs. The wind was gusting and despite my best efforts to try and keep the tripod and camera steady the wind was winning!
You can make out the Island of Uist in the Outer Hebrides on the far horizon.
The Lennon Wall located at Velkopřevorské náměstí (Grand Priory Square), Malá Strana, is a historic legal graffiti wall in Prague.
After the 1980 murder of John Lennon a mural of Lennon was painted by an unknown artist onto the wall and as more people expanded upon it, the wall slowly became a place for free expression of then communist Czechoslovakia. It has historically been used for demonstrations and carries a central theme of John Lennon, but it also features designs relating to local and global causes such as global warming. The wall has also inspired other walls across the globe, such as the Hong Kong Lennon wall.
