Blue: it is the color of water and the sea, with all the symbolic references already discussed for that element - that is, blue usually indicates femininity, life, purity, etc., just as water does.
Blue can also symbolize peace, calm, stability, security, loyalty, sky, water, cold.
Orange can represent energy, balance, warmth, enthusiasm, flamboyant, and demanding of attention.
A dedication to Giorgio!

Publication of my article.
Ferrandina is the 4th biggest town in Basilicata and one of its oldest tracing its roots back to the Magna Grecia, about 1000 BC with its original name Troilia after the city of Troy in Asia Minor leading some to suspect that some of the survivors of the sacked city ended up here. The town today is perched on a 482 m hill in the Basento Valley on the west side of the river Basento overseeing olive groves, vineyards, fruit orchards and cereal fields.
The town became a backwater throughout the Imperial era it faded from status because the Romans concentrated more on the development of the road network leading from Calabria to Puglia. During the later Byzantine era, the first Castle was constructed in the 6th century but was soon to be taken over by the Lombards in the 7th century back again to the Byzantine’s in the 9th finally the Normans in the 10th century with its fertile proximity to the river valley and high ground location it was coveted by many.
Where the town sits today is not where it began but in the 15th century a massive earthquake destroyed most of the buildings and it was decided by the rulers of the day the Aragonese that today’s current location had a little more stability than the old. This rebuilding is also when the city received its current name when King Frederick of Aragona in 1494, named it Ferrandina to memorialize his father Ferrante, the town’s coat of arms shows six F’s which stand for: Fridericus Ferranti Filius Ferrandinam Fabbricare Fecit.

Papilio castor, also called the Common Raven and Common mormon, is a tail-less black brown swallowtail butterfly with creamy white to yellow spots.
The butterfly was so active so couldn't get a good focus in hand held mode.
There are many types of butterflies and they have a range of different colors, but the brown butterfly, in particular, is connected to a meaning that speaks to many different types of people.
People have come to connect brown butterflies with being grounded or “down-to-earth,” but there are other meanings as well:
Stability
Security
Warmth
Authentic
Approachable
Unpretentious
Earthly in Nature
Many cultures also connect seeing a brown butterfly with being a greater sign for what’s to come in the future. Brown butterflies have been mentioned across the world from the Philippines to China and Eastern Europe to the Native American culture of the Americas. They are also a popular choice for tattoos as people want an image on their body to represent something meaningful to them on a personal level.
The day was great, and the felling, a good one. This sycamore in Os's town park had root rot where it had — with all that huge healthy weight above — cut the legs from underneath the tree's stability.
Just brilliant to see that many people out and about playing and sunbathing in the park again in the bright warm sunshine.
This is the other Paul —who i believe has has not been bitten recently by Simba — sawing up the massive trunk into rounds, then quarters, for us to take away and season for a year or two.
Huge thanks again Paul, Paul and Rob :-)

"True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced. A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed.”
~Tom Robbins~
"The pillars of truth and the pillars of freedom - they are the pillars of society."

The battle of wind with stability, I thought about doing a longish exposure here but no chance of a still camera in those windy conditions.
I then thought how about a panorama, so with Jane hanging onto my belt on the edge I tucked my elbows in and fired off eight images which miraculously all merged together.
A kind neighbor called me over to his home last evening, alerting me to this lovely owl that was peeking out of one of his backyard evergreen trees.
The owl allowed me to spend 15 minutes with it while I fired off many good captures. It never moved and showed no signs of agitation, and I kept a quiet and respectful distance across the yard.
This seems to be an adult brown morph (Northern). There are also grey and red morphs in this species.
Screech owls are very small and their body size range from 6 to 10 inches in length. Proportionally, their heads are quite large and, since they have such short necks, that head size seems even larger :)
The light was poor and quickly fading. Fortunately I had the house to lean against for a bit of stability as I handheld my heavy gear. I captured this image at 1/5 sec. shutter speed, though it took many attempts to pull this off :)
This experience was a real thrill for me since I have never photographed a wild owl in the 12 years that I have been doing nature photography.
Thank you, kind neighbor, for your thoughtful invite into your backyard for this fulfilling experience!

a kind world, a human world. We want to be on good terms with ourselves, and with one another. And whatever new program or governmental system fails to assist these very simple human desires is a ghastly failure, even if it produces more goods, greater wealth, more economic stability and more national power... :-)

By breaking his word, by refusing the diplomatic route, by choosing war, President Putin has not only attacked Ukraine. He has decided to carry out the most serious attack on peace, on stability in our Europe. To this act of war, we will respond without weakness, with composure, determination and unity.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
A Cypress Swamp in the Mercer Arboretum north of Houston, Texas. Though it may seem otherwise, the water level is lower than usual.
The woody knobs are "cypress knees" -- they provide these tall trees oxygen, nutrients and stability not otherwise available in the primordial ooze. A bald cypress can live up to 600 years, though there are some as old as 1,000.
Pura Ulun Danu Batur (also known as "Pura Batur" or "Pura Ulun Danu") is a Hindu Balinese temple located in the island of Bali, Indonesia. As one of the Pura Kahyangan Jagat, Pura Ulun Danu Batur is one of the most important temples in Bali which acted as the maintainer of harmony and stability of the entire island. Pura Ulun Danu Batur represents the direction of North and is dedicated to the god Vishnu and the local goddess Dewi Danu, goddess of Lake Batur, the largest lake in Bali. Following the destruction of the original temple compound, the temple was relocated and rebuilt in 1926. The temple, along with 3 other sites in Bali, form the Cultural Landscape of Bali Province which was inscribed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2012.
The Parthenon (/ˈpɑːrθəˌnɒn, -nən/; Ancient Greek: Παρθενών; Greek: Παρθενώνας, Parthenónas) is a former temple, on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power. It was completed in 438 BC although decoration of the building continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered the zenith of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and Western civilization,and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. To the Athenians who built it, the Parthenon and other Periclean monuments of the Acropolis, were seen fundamentally as a celebration of Hellenic victory over the Persian invaders and as a thanksgiving to the gods for that victory.The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a program of selective restoration and reconstruction to ensure the stability of the partially ruined structure.

Ok. Time for another one! I found this while I was migrating my archives to Lightroom.
(YES: Adobe!! There ARE STILL some performance and stability issues with it ...)
Nevertheless: Found some images that I thought are worth a try with Photoshop and my fav filter :)
Hope, you like it :)
Have a great weekend!
And i apologize in advance: There will be not much time to share with flickr ... hope to catch up with you on monday ;)
A 156 second 10 stop long exposure of Aberdeen beach,
with the solid wooden groyne posts through the centre of the image.
Lovely little break away with the better half to find this beauty unused in the hotel grounds.
No tripod with me neither an orb string to night play, dam! so on with the lie on the floor for full stability shot as very little light in here on a very dull morning :)
View of Siena, by the South-East side, in which the back of Palazzo Pubblico, seat of the Municipality, is easily recognizable. In the skyline stand out the Torre del Mangia, the only remaining tall tower view from the side of the Chiesa di Sant'Agostino, where the back of the Palazzo Pubblico, seat of the Municipality, is visible. The Torre del Mangia stands out alone in the skyline as more than 100 others have been partially or totally dismantled over the centuries, both due to stability problems - particularly after the 1798 earthquake - and to reuse the stones, as well as a changed urban planning vision of the city.
Dry stack stone , like the one shown in the photograph, are made without using mortar, selecting the appropriate stones and their ideal position to ensure the stability of the wall. It is a form of construction widely used for centuries in the Aragonese Pyrenees to delimit fields of different owners. Over time, the stones become covered with lichens and moss, giving them wonderful textures and color.
Los muros de piedra seca, como el que aparece en la fotografía, se hacen sin utilizar mortero ni argamasa, seleccionando las piedras adecuadas y su posición idónea para asegurar la estabilidad del muro. Es una forma de construcción muy utilizada desde hace siglos en el Pirineo aragonés para delimitar campos de distintos propietarios. Con el tiempo, las piedras van cubriéndose de líquenes y musgo, dotándolas de unas maravillosas texturas y colorido.
One wintry egret chases a little fish in high gear, wings out for stability and extra... umf. It ended happy for egret and negative for the little fish...
This AI thing has got me concerned about my mental stability. I'm worried that these strange images that emerge out of my imagination could be indicative of a troubled mind. Anybody know a good shrink?
Image imagined in MidJourney AI and finished with Topaz Studio 2.0 and Lightroom Classic.
When a train draws to a halt in a station it gives the photographer a chance to set up the camera set up the tripod and bag the conventional shots we are all familiar with. When that stop is extended and the conventional shots are in the bag it allows the photographers creative eye to wonder and explore other options.
The presence of 66181 at Carlisle whist working the 4M30, 19:07 Grangemouth – Daventry for at least 30 mins gave me the chance to compose this shot.
Well I am under no illusion that most railway photographers will look at this and say " its not my cup of tea" but I kinda like it.
It was a breezy evening and the full moon was in and out of clouds. The long exposure gives the sense of motion in the clouds and the sharpness of the loco gives a sense of scale and stability. The lighting was nice and the full moon was a real bonus and turned out to be the focal point of the shot.
Improved the stability (you can hold it with one hand, for example) among other things. Made the top more accurate as well. It's composed of two CNG (compressed natural gas) tanks, a window, a grate for maintenance workers to walk on, and an exhaust pipe.
Oficialmente conocido como Valle de Cuelgamuros desde octubre de 2022.
La nave de la basílica se excavó en la roca y está a un nivel más bajo para realzar el presbiterio y romper la monotonía de un espacio tan largo. Está dividida en cuatro tramos, marcados por series de grandes arcos fajones, cruzados en la bóveda para formar casetones.
Las dimensiones del templo actual son superiores a las de la primitiva perforación, que era de 11 por 11 metros, ahora tiene un ancho de 18 metros. Las dificultades técnicas de la ampliación del túnel fueron muy grandes por la estructura granítica del risco, con diaclasas que podían producir desprendimientos, hasta el punto de que se tomó la decisión de macizar el túnel existente con los escombros de la ampliación del suelo y costados, y una vez terminada y consolidada esta, proceder al vaciado total. En agosto de 1954 se realizó el revestimiento interior, con grandes arcos fajones hormigonados, así como los laterales y el suelo, lo que contribuye a la estabilidad del conjunto y a la sujeción de la masa de piedra que gravita sobre la bóveda.
Los muros de las capillas albergan los restos de miles de combatientes de ambos bandos de la Guerra Civil española (1936-1939).
The nave of the basilica was excavated in the rock and is at a lower level to enhance the presbytery and break the monotony of such a long space. It is divided into four sections, marked by series of large transverse arches, crossed in the vault to form coffered ceilings.
The dimensions of the current temple are greater than those of the original perforation, which was 11 by 11 meters. Now it has a width of 18 meters. The technical difficulties of expanding the tunnel were very great due to the granitic structure of the cliff, with joints that could cause landslides, to the point that the decision was made to solidify the existing tunnel with the debris from the expansion of the floor and sides. and once this is finished and consolidated, proceed to complete emptying. In August 1954, the interior lining was made, with large concreted transverse arches, as well as the sides and the floor, which contributes to the stability of the whole and to the support of the mass of stone that gravitates over the vault.
The walls of the chapels house the remains of thousands of combatants from both sides of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).

Fire scars are common on the lower trunks of sequoias qnd redwoods . This fire scar appears on the uphill side od a Sequoiadendron giganteum, commonly referred to as the giant sequoia, giant redwood, Sierra redwood, Sierran redwood, that grows in the Deer Creek Grove in Great Sequoia National Monument which is part of Sequoia National Forest. Researchers have determined that fire is citical to the survival of sequoias and rother members of the subfamily Sequoioideae. Fire is needed for the growth of new trees as well as the health of big trees. They are are a fire-adapted species. Burning around the base improves the soils and reduces competition. The fire dcauses thick layers to grow next ti the burned tissues that flare out the base of the tree and add stability.
