Ugly Transformation of a Building
View allAll Photos Tagged transformation
After spending the entire day hunting fall colors around Big Bear Lake I noticed that the only trees that looked to be at peak were the non-indiginous ones that were purchased and planted. I found this tree along the main drive and it looked to me to be confused and yet glorious in all it's shades of color which were highlighted by the piercing blue of the sky behind. I sat and stared then after a while I felt at peace and understood. Humanity has entered a time of profound change and we are all pushed by necessity and pulled by opportunity.
The push is a growing systems crisis, evident in the breakdown of financial institutions, climate change, resource depletion, unsustainable populations, and more.
The pull is the opportunity to rise to a new level of human maturity, partnership, and freedom. The combined push and pull at a global scale make this truly a time of profound turning and transformation for humanity. These powerful trends are all represented here in this one tree.

Cold winds travelling over 206 miles of Lake Huron, along with the wave action hitting the shoreline, cause everything in it's path to freeze! In time you will no longer be able to see the branches facing you, they will be completely iced over.

The wind is constantly blowing at the dunes. Each day, the footprints on the dunes are smoothed away. Each day, the dunes are reshaped. It is dusty, but beautiful. 20230618SossusvleiDune.jpg
Pancake ice fascinates me. An example is this capture taken at the end of a Ross Sea crossing (beyond latitude 77º south) as we approached the Antarctica land mass. Almost immediatedlly the frigid sea ice began to freeze and forming pancake ice.

While taking an early morning walk today, I spied this leaf at my feet. I promised I'd return and the leaf waited for me. Bliss!

"Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair."
Quote - Rick Warren

She was once a sparkling Rosebay Willowherb
In all her pink and purple skirts she has been living her happy life
Dancing in the wind
Being cherished by the ones that passed her
Now, it's colder days and she is transforming
Can you see it?
She has become a bird
Folding her wings around her
Her beak is shut
Her feather is fluffy
Looks like the breeze is all around her
She is satisfied with this life
She has accomplished everything she wanted
Love has surrounded her
She has been so cherished
She can fly off now
The light is there
Ready for her
Welcome
Fun fact; one Rosebay produces 20000 seeds
The story of the marble...
First, let me tell you, I lost my marbles ages ago, so this one wasn't mine to lose. It was actually mine to find. I've been a collector of sea glass for a few years and sea marbles are the beach combers holy grail.
Last Sunday I went on my normal afternoon drive and ended up in Bacon Cove. Beside being beautiful, a place named after my favourite pig product will always have a special place in my heart. But I digress. I stopped the truck on a random road, followed a random trail, and found myself on a random little beach. Everything was grey and dreary except for the sparkle of that yellow cats eye appearing and disappearing as the waves allowed. I couldn't believe my eyes so I wandered out and chased that little marble as the ocean tried to reclaim it.
The cats eye looked shiny from the salt water but as it dried the beautiful frosty sea glass look appeared. It felt smooth but I could see it was worn and no longer perfectly round.
I've had many a marble over the years but this one, transformed by the waves and grit is an absolute stunner. And despite its turbulent life, the changes have become a beautiful symbol of endurance, strength, and what it means to be a survivor.
Maybe thats the reason I collect sea glass. Every time I touch and see it, I am reminded of its inspiring story of transformation.
As I come towards the end of my third year in Thailand I have been looking back on my time here and thinking about how much my life has changed. I am more active, sociable, full of energy and generally feel brighter than I have in many years. Every day I enjoy warm sunshine, have a world full of colour, interesting sounds, incredible tastes and smells and experiences that constantly ensure that I live my life on the edge of my comfort zone. I am surrounded by lots of amazing people and have formed some firm friendships that I hope will last me a lifetime. In spite of the global pandemic and all the tragedy and life disruption we have all had to endure I am very thankful for my time here and can honestly say that this experience has taken years off me.
The leap of faith that we took in 2018 certainly paid off! I think these comparative shots from 2017 and 2021 say a thousand words.
Time for a lengthy break from Flickr now as we take our summer holidays but we'll be back for year 4 in August!
I took a photo of the work to build a few new roads on a former kennels, which you will find in the first comment below.
As you will see from the image above, it's quite a transformation. i converted the image to monochrome.
Not quite awake yet... dry phase.

I believe that, sometimes, you can see ART "already" even if the piece is still not yet finished ;)
