Waking up to
the light of a new morning.
A fresh sheet of paper,
a bath and a candle
and a cup of tea.
Tired and awake
floating in between
memories and
the unknown days ahead,
greeting them
with a smile
and a flower.
A soft start...
May the new year bring you joy!

The chipmunks are back out and about on the forest floor:) I found this little cutie on my last trip out to Kensington:)
We crossed the most obscure border crossing I had ever seen as it was getting dark and drove towards Lago di Cavazzo where we spend the night.
Being back in Italy meant that sleeping in our comfy Tesla on the lake side was perfectly fine again, just as long as we paid the parking meter (which was free at night). The parking came with free electricity, (mostly) clean toilets and great Italian cappuccino so we decided to stay a while, recharge the car and recharge ourselves. I love Italy.
8/23/08 - I'm ready to just fall and wait for someone to help me up. Ever have that falling dream, that's not exactly a dream? You lie in bed with closed eyes and suddenly feel as if you're about to hit the ground and jump. I've never actually seen a visual while having that dream, but it feels just as real. I've been having them a lot lately and each time my skin crawls just a little more. I'm ready to wake up in fragile arms.
I don't have much free time today and so this poor excuse of a photo will have to do. :/ I wanted to look like I was falling without actually having to fall for the picture. I did trip, though!

"We've tried so hard to understand, but we can't. We held the world out in our hands and you ran away. It takes some time to let you go and it shows. 'Cause all we know is falling, it falls. Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all." - Paramore.
A downright macabre postcard originally posted on Ipernity for the Weird Vintage Postcards group: I Dreamt I Was in a Trance.
--------
I dreamt I was in a trance, my folks thought me dead. They put me in a coffin; they cried and said nice things about me. All night long the old cat, whose kittens I had drowned that morning, sat on my coffin and gloated over my sufferings; she knew I was alive. I was placed in a hearse and in due time arrived at the grave yard. I could hear the mud hit the lid of the coffin and began to choke when I woke up.
Gates ajar. He has went? His chair is vacant.

Printed on the back: "Bad Dream Series No. 1."
Postmarked twice on Oct. 17, 1910: Once at Middletown, Pa., 7 a.m., and a second time at Manchester, Pa., 9 a.m.
Addressed to: "Mrs. Katie May. Manchester, York Co., Pa."
Handwritten message: "Dear Sister, I wanted to write this [for a] long time but I had no time. We are having two weeks off at the shoe factory. Why didn't you come over? I was at the river. Answer. From Elva, your sis. R.F.D. No. 1."
While going through my hard drive I found this picture. I created this back in 2011, inspired by the lovely Lissy.
I was an active member of the Flickr-community. I created so many pictures, inspired by the unpretentious and generous creative force that I experienced here. I was also a part of a group in which we created one image each week, inspired by a special theme. I think I created this image for that group, but I never shared it. I guess I never shared it because it wasn´t really my idea to start with, it was an image based on Lissy´s image that I wanted to do my own version of.
Now I found it and I really like it. Something about it feels so honest and simple. And I like that. Also, I love being back here on Flickr. Maybe this story hasn´t come to an end yet.

I re-used the flickr tag I did for my 24 hours of flickr shot and stuck it on my electric toothbrush. My toothbrush rocks harder than ever, right?!
By the way, this is shaving cream I have in my mouth. I wanted to make my flash bounce in the bathroom sink but with that not-so-good taste in my mouth, I realized that I could just as well make my flash go directly at me and get that shaving cream off as quickly as possible.
Explored (237)...April 8, 2009 (cool!)
Need a pick me up? I know I do, sometimes :) This is what's been on my heart this morning.
For when a cup of coffee just isn't enough:
“(1)Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (2)through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. (3)Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; (4)perseverance, character; and character, hope. (5)And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” - Romans 5:1-5
This is one of my favorite quotes from the Bible. Every word in it holds a powerful message.
-Justified through Faith (Thank you, God, that I don't have to be "good enough!")
-we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (who doesn't need some peace these days)
-we have gained access by faith into his GRACE (Amazing Grace...)
-we REJOICE in the HOPE of the GLORY of God (I want to sing a song after thinking about this part!)
-we REJOICE in our sufferings (not always my first thought, but check out the second part of this--->), BECAUSE we KNOW that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
-HOPE does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts
AMEN!
I just wanted to share this verse with you today, because I figure we could all use a little encouragement for one reason or another.

Happy because fully vaccinated against COVID-19...
Location: Watergraafsmeer ("Betondorp"), Amsterdam (Oost)
Coordinates: See the link below on Google Maps:
Reason: A home 52-Weeks because of the some disappointing weather during week number 26. Good thing is that I am fully vaccinated (I received my second shot of Pfizer on the first of July). The pandemic Covid-19 started in the beginning of 2020 and is still around and still predominant in the world. The vaccination program started in January 2020 and when taking this self portrait about 16 milion vaccinated have been administered in the Netherlands. The proof is visible through a CoronaCheck application which is valid as a vaccination certificate. It gives access to different places (clubs, festivals and other places where physical distance cannot be guaranteed).
Corona Lamp: The sputnik lamp in my living room is very similar to how the corona virus is often depicted.
Weather: Cloudy, 24° C(maximum of this day)
To Listen ♫: Cloudcage - Waking Up (Youtube)
Self-portrait technics: Camera on a Sirui carbon tripod and placed on a chair with selftimer on 10 seconds.

DON’T BOTHER!
The time has come to start making sense of things, of the world, of each other. We think we’re doing that, but we’re actually doing the opposite. We are complicating…EVERYTHING…to the point of utter madness. Our world has become one ginormous madhouse, ESPECIALLY cyberspace — this alternate world we created within our world that seems to have created a world within itself — yet to be identified, recognized, and named. Making sense of things is not a bad thing. For example, let’s start with one major web enigma: Paul Jaisini and “Gleitzeit” which is this, uh, odd art movement the guy started in the 90s. If you simply google either of those names, I gaurantee you a good WTF moment or two. You’ll not just be scratching your head over this one. You’ll be scratching every part of your body like a delusional nutcase who thinks your skin is literally crawling with countless bugs. IT’S GONNA BUG THE HELL OUT OF YOU, let’s just say…maybe for a day or a week…or maybe, as for some folks, long after you’ve discovered it. You’ll be itching to understand what it’s about even just a little bit. Your mind will try to make sense of Paul Jaisini and/or Gleitzeit, it will want to, but will fail miserably. Frustration and anger will start setting in. I know because that’s how it was for me and every person that tried. The deeper you dig, the more you try to figure it out, the more confused, overwhelmed, baffled, and perplexed you’ll get. I guess for the people that attempt to understand the Paul Jaisini and Gleitzeit thing or debunk it, my advice is: DON’T EVEN TRY. DON’T GO THERE. IT’S NOT FOR YOU. The sleepless nights, the uncertainty, the questions and ideas that start invading your head, the horror of “waking up” from normality and regularity, the trauma of moving from one dimension to another… is not worth it. Well, for me it was worth it, but not for others. They claim it’s crazy and even dangerous for the mind, Paul Jaisini’s Gleitzeit. Well, sure, I mean you gotta break some eggs to make an omelette, dontchya? So, Gleitzeit is the omelette and all parties involved in GIG (Gleitzeit International Group) are the eggs. Makes sense. Speaking of which, “they” don’t want it to make sense, not even close. As a member of the group, I’m breaking protocol BIG TIME by writing this, by encouraging that you go out there, look this stuff up and figure it out, take away its shield of senselessness and defeat it… for the sake of a better world and future for us all. I hope someone out there hears me….one way or another, it had to be said…. Stelly Riesling medium.com/art-submissions/don-t-bother-901454f687cd
I hope everyone is doing well.
It's been great the past few days; I've been able to make some photos without feeling like I'm using up my study time! If I really wanted to, I could spend all my time on photography for a while :D.
I'm considering saving up some money to purchase a Tokina 11-16 f2.8. From what I've read, it's about as good of a super wide angle a person can buy for a DX camera. The lens isn't cheap, but it's sold for less than comparable super wide angle lenses.
Should I save up?
Do you know anything about the lens?
Any recommendations for super wide angle lenses?
About the photo: it's of Erin, my dog.
I'll be posting more soon!

Introduction
"Waking Up"|The Lord Is Knocking on the Door—Come and Meet the Lord
Just Awake and About To Wake are preachers of a Christian sect who both sincerely believe in the Lord, and who eagerly yearn for His return. But they have always felt puzzled and confused about how the Lord will knock at the door upon His return, and what they should do to welcome Him. When a sister knocks on her door many times to preach God's gospel of the last days, Just Awake finally awakens to reality through a period of seeking and investigation. After hearing Just Awake's experience, About To Wake also awakens from her confusion, and she comes to know that the Lord came in secret long ago, that He incarnated to express His words, that He uses His words to knock at the door of man's heart and that, by carefully listening to God's voice, the wise virgins are able to welcome the return of the Lord and follow God's footprints!
