She's fallen, but she is free. She cannot fly but she can see. Her soul is broken, her body is cut, but her heart is full where my strength is not. He wings may be torn, but she has her friends who will travel thru the pits of Hell to find her and bring her back
Old Power Station in Oxford, which is now Osney Power Station – University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School. A unique combination of restoring and saving the old and adding new to it.
Another one of this beautiful White Peacock butterfly in the backyard. The backyard has gotten away from me AGAIN as my health has been awful. But here was this beauty. The sprinklers were on (it's so hot here) and it was on the beautiful Lantana. Unfortunately, one of my water buckets (turned over ... I use them to catch rainwater, etc.) was in her background. So I cropped this sucker three times and resized it each time. Painted it which I love to do anyway, and I was pleased that my editing skills sometimes save my ruined photos. My pride gets in the way sometimes, so I didn't let it this time, the shot of the butterfly WAS perfect before all the cropping. And those are water drops from the sprinklers which I wanted to save, too, but ...
I took this snapshot eight years ago. It came up yesterday on my Amazon cloud storage because of the link that shows all of my photos on their anniversary.
Other than the fact that I took this on January 21, 2009 and that in a wider shot there was a dragon on the roof. I have no clue where this was or what it was for.
The Saving Grace when the World has gone Mad
In shadows deep where madness reigns,
The heart of earth beats loud with pain,
Through chaos thick the spirits wade,
Yet find in darkness a light's cascade.
As Beauty fades in the grasp of fear,
The souls imprisoned shed their tears;
With every blow from Hate's cruel hand,
They rise anew to take a stand.
For once in silence all was lost,
When Nature wept at her heavy cost;
The whispers of ghosts from histories past,
Echo the lessons too long amassed.
Adversity walks a path unknown,
In fields once lush, now overgrown;
But through the fire of forged despair,
Blooms the strength of the ones who dare.
Death’s cold breath wraps close its claims,
Yet life persists amidst the frames;
A tapestry woven with threads of strife,
Unraveling truths about this life.
Betrayed by power’s relentless chase,
We yearn for Justice—a saving grace;
Through desolate nights where terrors play,
Hope glimmers softly in shades of gray.
Communities rise where division falls,
In unity’s warmth, each spirit calls;
To break free from chains that bind our sight—
Empathy shines like stars in the night.
Though politics twist and turn like fates,
And History whispers of vengeful states;
We gather our hearts and draw forth our might—
To shape a tomorrow bathed in light.
Oh journey through peace—let hatred cease!
In Nature's cradle find our release;
For through this madness we still must strive—
In love and compassion we find our drive.
So lift your gaze when darkness is near,
For even in peril true hope appears;
And as we forge through our mortal fate—
Together we've sculpted a world less great.

L’ora legale nel 2015 è introdotta questa notte, quando le 2 diventeranno le 3 (come si dice, si dormirà un’ora in meno). L’ora legale esiste in Italia dal 1916 e fu adottata durante la Prima guerra mondiale per risparmiare sull’energia sfruttando un minore uso dell’illuminazione elettrica. Il principio su cui si basa l’ora legale nacque però molto prima: fu proposto da Benjamin Franklin in una lettera scritta nel 1784 a un giornale di Parigi.
Negli Stati Uniti, come in Italia e negli altri paesi che adottano questo sistema, ogni anno si discute sul fatto se l’ora legale sia davvero necessaria e se la sua adozione porti effettivamente a uno stato di stress temporaneo causato dal dormire un’ora di meno e dallo spostare i propri orari biologici. L’Atlantic poche settimane fa definiva il passaggio all’ora legale “dispendioso, inutile e persino pericoloso”. Nello stesso periodo il Wall Street Journal raccontava le conseguenze negative del “Daylight Saving Time” per le relazioni sociali e la salute. Per chi volesse controllare l’ora esatta (e la precisione del proprio orologio digitale) il sito Time.is offre questa possibilità. Per chi fosse invece più interessato ai dati relativi al risparmio energetico, Terna – operatore di reti per la trasmissione dell’energia elettrica – ha messo a disposizione lo scorso anno i dati riguardanti il risparmio energetico ottenuto in Italia nel 2014 grazie al passaggio all’ora legale.
Dieses schöne alte Bank-Gebäude mit der güldenen Kuppel über dem Uhrturm habe ich schon unzählige Male fotografiert, aber in Kombination mit dem blauen Himmel ist es immer wieder unwiderstehlich...
Quer über die Straße, keine 300m entfernt, steht das Weiße Haus.

These are the bulbs that produce the light for Fanad Lighthouse on Fanad peninsula, Donegal, Ireland. If I remember rightly, one set of two are backed up by the other other set of two.
When you have a full fridge, no cake saver, and need to safely store a cake from marauding critters, you store that confection in the microwave - right?.....

A sip of wine, a cigarette and then it's time to go
I tidied up the kitchenette, I tuned the old banjo
I'm wanted at the traffic jam, they're saving me a seat...

So turns out that I might have another small problem. I'm going to have to do these posts in spurts. Turns out I get really tired of having to lean over the laptop. It's not that I have to lean so much as I have to lean forward and down. it Takes a lot of energy out of me trying to hold My body in that direction. So, I am going to post this photo for now. And I will either do the actual blog post later on today, or tomorrow. Again my Saving Grace is Paige and you all should thank her. Cuz at least I have this to use until we can figure out what's going on with my computer.
Now that being said I need some advice. We have tried to replace the power supply and when Jim, the guy who installed it turned it on what happened was it turned on for like a Split Second... maybe not exactly "on" but the light flashed. Tell us that it's at least getting power. So the Question is, what could it possibly be? His idea is that possibly, maybe when it turned off, I tried to turn it on subconsciously... I don't remember doing that but who knows. And it could have fried the motherboard. When he examined the motherboard it didn't look like there was anything wrong. he builds computers. Always has built computers. We don't know what is causing it. So if there's anyone out there who knows computer and has an idea please run it by me so that I can run it by him and we can try and fix this. It's really sucks too because we just got some extra money and I technically could get a power supply but if it's not the power supply then what could it possibly be.
