Pulling from the archive, although I still have many to process, like this one of a stormy afternoon on the Cantabrian coast.
it is our perception that extends a flash moment of history to a slow motion film of approx. 80 so called years of life ... and we enjoy it as every single frame of a movie...every single frame... we just have to stop for a second and let it pass by.
Every moment we stop extends our life ...

A temporary exhibition of Valentino dresses at the Ara Pacis museum in Rome, back in 2007 (I actually never had a chance to visit the exhibition - this is taken from outside, through the a window).
Brave sea.
Great color palette, earth, sea and sky and rain.
Thank you for visits, bookmarks and comments.

Kariden Honden was built in 1639 to temporarily house the deified image of Tokagawa Ieyasu, the founder and first shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate (also known as the Edo Period, from 1603-1868), while repairs were conducted on the main shrine of Nikkō Tōshō-gū.
Apparently, Ieyasu's grandson, Iemitsu thought enough of the shrine to keep it and expand the site with structures like this copper torii at the front approach. Now, nearly 400 years old, this is part of the 42 buildings in the greater Tōshō-gū 東照宮 UNESCO World Heritage site listing.
An interesting scene where folk wait for a bus. Converted to monochrome, as seen on a walk.

In three seasons, this bench entices you to linger and enjoy the view. Currently their offer remains unused.
When you notice your mental health declining, do one small thing that brings you peace. Take a shower, text a loved one, step outside. One little step is all you need to remind yourself that this is not permanent.

3. Last light on Monte Rosa
November 2022
90 × 60 cm, Alu-Dibond
Italiano
Mentre la valle è già avvolta nell’ombra, le cime più alte del Monte Rosa vengono illuminate un’ultima volta dalla luce del tramonto. Un momento di quiete sopra un paesaggio in costante trasformazione.
Il ghiacciaio del Grenz scende dal massiccio del Monte Rosa e si unisce al ghiacciaio del Gorner, che all’altezza del Gornersee (a sinistra nell’immagine) è ormai quasi scomparso. Questo lago temporaneo d’acqua di fusione appare in estate al confine tra i due ghiacciai, quando l’acqua si accumula in una depressione naturale sul ghiaccio. Non appena le temperature scendono, il lago scompare.
Ciò che rende il Gornersee così particolare è il suo svuotamento naturale, a volte improvviso. Quando il livello dell’acqua raggiunge un punto critico, essa scorre attraverso canali subglaciali verso valle, in direzione del fiume Vispa. Un evento simile è noto come GLOF (Glacial Lake Outburst Flood), in cui enormi quantità d’acqua possono essere rilasciate in brevissimo tempo.
Per i glaciologi, il Gornersee è di grande interesse. Il lago offre preziose informazioni sul mondo nascosto sotto il ghiaccio: come si muove l’acqua di fusione, come si formano i canali di drenaggio sotterranei e quale ruolo gioca il cambiamento climatico in questi processi.

Während das Tal bereits im Schatten liegt, werden die höchsten Gipfel des Monte Rosa ein letztes Mal vom Sonnenlicht erfasst. Ein stiller Moment über einer Landschaft, die sich ständig verändert.
Der Grenzgletscher fliesst vom Monte Rosa Massiv hinab und trifft auf den Gornergletscher, der auf Höhe des Gornersees (links im Bild) bereits fast verschwunden ist. Dieser temporäre Schmelzwassersee entsteht im Sommer an der Grenze der beiden Gletscher, wenn sich Schmelzwasser in einer natürlichen Senke auf dem Eis sammelt. Sobald die Temperaturen sinken, verschwindet der See wieder.
Besonders am Gornersee ist sein gelegentlich plötzliches natürliches Ablassen. Wenn der Wasserstand eine kritische Höhe erreicht, bahnt sich das Wasser über subglaziale Kanäle den Weg hinab in Richtung Fluss Vispa. Ein solches Ereignis wird als GLOF (Glacial Lake Outburst Flood) bezeichnet, dabei können in kurzer Zeit enorme Wassermengen abfliessen.
Für Glaziologen ist der Gornersee von grossem Interesse. Der See liefert Einblicke in die verborgene Welt unter dem Eis: Wie sich Schmelzwasser bewegt, wie unterirdische Abflusskanäle entstehen und welche Rolle der Klimawandel dabei spielt.

While the valley is already in shadow, the highest peaks of Monte Rosa are lit one last time by the setting sun. A moment of stillness above a landscape in constant motion.
The Grenzgletscher flows down from the Monte Rosa massif and connects with the Gorner Glacier, which has already almost vanished near the Gornersee (left in the image). This temporary meltwater lake appears in summer on the boundary between the two glaciers, as meltwater accumulates in a natural depression on the ice. When temperatures drop, the lake disappears again.
What makes the Gornersee remarkable is its sometimes sudden natural drainage. When the water level reaches a critical height, it carves its way through subglacial channels downhill toward the Vispa River. Such an event is known as a GLOF (Glacial Lake Outburst Flood), during which immense volumes of water can be released in a short time.
For glaciologists, the Gornersee is of great value. It provides insights into the hidden world beneath the ice: how meltwater moves, how subsurface drainage channels form, and what role climate change plays in these processes.
In the great scheme of things - that's all they are.........

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Temporary/Permanent. Autumn's beauty is fleeting, but Swans mate for life. HMMM!
