Rothenburg ob der Tauber offers each facet of romanticism: the city itself with its picturesque lanes, sleepy corners and lovingly restored buildings invite a stroll through a long-forgotten time.
A thousand years of history and a fairytale setting mix with cosmopolitan hospitality to create the very special charm of the town.
Living in 1886, when this log cabin was built, it couldn't have been easy during the winter months - outdoor plumbing, freezing cold, a smoky fireplace, and only a lantern to light the long dark nights. The people of that time must have been a resilient lot.
This image was taken at the Moreston by candlelight event, which is an annual display held by the Grey Roots Museum and Archives. The young lady's smile was inviting but central heating and indoor plumbing won out for me.
siamo noi i nostri piedi?
siamo noi le nostre gambe?
siamo le nostre mani?
siamo noi le nostre braccia?
oppure il nostro collo?
forse la testa ...!?!
potrebbe mai una testa esistere senza un cuore?
dove dimorano i sentimenti?
siamo quelli ? o la ragione?
ed in quel caso ,cosa mai va cercando la ragione?
forse di aver ragione?
ma a quale scopo?
per dimostrare cosa?
che può vivere anche senza tutto il resto?
che può vincere su emozioni e sentimenti??
Stephen Hawking, in un certo senso ha fondato la sua vita affidandosi quasi esclusivamente all'intelletto,
ma non era una macchina pensante....
ha superato i limiti imposti dalla natura ,questo è vero, ma in fondo come tutti noi era un uomo ....
anche se dotiamo di arti sofisticati e di occhi infallibili,
e pure di un sistema di elaborazione dati ed una potentissima intelligenza artificiale; una macchina ...
magari pure con una pompa centrale che lubrifica ed alimenta il sistema ,come fosse un cuore ...
non proverà.. amore ,odio, empatia , gioia o rabbia ...
ma soprattutto gli mancherà uno scopo, la motivazione!!!
o....la fede
O...
Chissà cos'altro
Dylain's heart races as she watches Flit swan dive into the disbelief she is now faced with.
Clutching to the side of The Great Fissure she stares into the strange light not sure of whether or not she can do this.

I got the most worried look from one of my neighbors as I was crouching down on the stairs to get this shot
Anche gli edifici con i loro abitanti sanno raccontare questi tempi complicati e sono dotati di quella capacità di affrontare e superare un evento traumatico e difficile.

Though we've had some sub-freezing nights recently, daytime temps have really improved allowing more and more Camellias to blossom without damage. There are thousands of beauties this week at the National Arboretum.
Most Camelia varieties have blossoms 3-4 inches in diameter, this one was notably smaller, less than 2 inches.

How else could it be when you're made of sand, your top altitude is a few centimeters above sea level, and you're rising in a region where storms are legion when they are not hurricanes?

At the far corner, in the north-east part of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne stands this tall monument.
Looking out to the seas from which numerous raiders have landed the structure is resilient, unmoving and defiant.
Those who say "I'll do it," who are willing to take on a challenge even if they are alone, are true winners. The determination, the commitment to take action yourself, is the force that leads to victory. As Buddhism teaches in the principle of a life-moment possesses 3,000 realms, our mind or attitude can change everything.

We have had a very cold winter here in DC including 10+ inches of snow and many sub-freezing nights and days. In spite of that, the Camellia collection at the National Arboretum has been prolific throughout the winter.
They produce thousands of buds and that open throughout the season. When the temps fall into the 20's the blossoms get "burned" and turn a brownish color but when the temperatures rise the new buds bloom beautifully.
Many of these plants are the product of a breeding program utilizing cold hardy camellias, and include a series of popular hybrids that were bred at the Arboretum after severely cold winters in the 1970s devastated the original collection.
I had a lot of fun making this one. It's nice to do an asymmetrical conversion once in a while, it makes it need a lot less fine tuning. I did have to refine the holes a bit though, and I think one of them might be too big. I like the overall result though.

L'être humain s'accroche parfois de longs mois avant de se laisser emporter par le courant de la vie.
Our "big" snow [of six inches] is melting back to reveal the early daffodils that were in full flower. As many of you predicted, they survived quite well. I wouldn't go so far as to say they are 'happy', since cold, snowy, windy, wintery weather continues.

Congrats to the FLICKR software engineers for correcting the O'Bannon glitch. I certainly noticed.
