Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
~Robert Frost

Even the most vivid memories fade with age.
Memories fade with age:
Due to normal brain changes like shrinking, reduced white matter (disrupting brain cell communication), and declining neurogenesis (new brain cell growth) in areas like the hippocampus, alongside less blood flow and fewer protective hormones/proteins, affecting memory storage and retrieval. It's a natural process, like a muscle weakening, where less-used connections falter, making recall slower.
Memories change:
Because they are dynamic and reconstructed, not perfect recordings; each time you recall a memory, it can be updated with new information, emotions, or suggestions, similar to the game of whispers, leading to distortions, added false details, or fading details to keep them relevant, useful, and less cluttered for the present. This process, called reconsolidation, allows the brain to adapt memories for future use, even if it sacrifices perfect accuracy, - - - - sad but you can't really trust your memory.
let the editor auto correct, then inverted values, then inverted again. Sort of like cross processing slide film as C41
A sculpture exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre.
This one is the work of Tara Donovan and is made out of hundreds of thousand of circles of Mylar which is a shiny, foil-like material, folded and glued together into these spherical "bouquets", which are then arranged into this final sculpture.

When I was flying my Mavic Pro, I saw one sunken boat. Then looked closer and did saw two. After importing to Lightroom and took a even closer look, there are total of five sunken boat. I wonder whan kind of boats they were? Anyway very cool place!
Our apprroach to Kirkjufell mountain and its waterfalls occurred after a 420 miles day ride and at the perfect hour to witness the beginning of a beautiful sunset.
Missouri Botanical Gardens, St. Louis. Colors are just starting to change in the area. The photography club met at the botantical gardens to see the color.
When I visit cities like Madrid, Tenerife, Shanghai, Miami, Naples, or right here in Barcelona, and I have my camera in hand, I can't resist taking photos like this one, where what triggered me to take it was the simple fact that it was a perfect outfit to tour Madrid. When I saw that blouse and that hat, my mind said, what style this girl has, and without further ado I capture her, always with the most sincere respect.
Wenn das Empire die Aussicht dominiert.
Das Empire State Building wurde am 1. Mai 1931 eröffnet und war zu dieser Zeit das höchste Gebäude der Welt. Es hat eine Gesamthöhe von 443,2 Metern (einschließlich der Antenne) und verfügt über 102 Stockwerke. Das Gebäude ist ein Wahrzeichen von New York City und ein ikonisches Symbol der Architektur des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Es wurde während der Bauarbeiten in der erstaunlich kurzen Zeit von nur 410 Tagen fertiggestellt und war das erste Gebäude, das mehr als 100 Stockwerke hatte. Die Beleuchtung des Empire State Building wird regelmäßig für besondere Anlässe und Feierlichkeiten geändert, was es zu einem dynamischen und farbenfrohen Bestandteil der New Yorker Skyline macht.

When the wind takes ‘em all
Away from here, away from me
When the sorrow is all gone
It is buried in the soil
When the wind takes em all
Away from here away from me
When the sorrow is all gone
It is buried in the sun
When the wolves howl their song
And the whole earth is done
When the wolves howl their song
And the wind still carries on
When spiders are away...droplets are there.
The SILLIEST question that I can ask is how many droplets of water are there!

Lion Rock
Hong Kong
Lion Rock or Lion Rock Hill, is a famous hill in Hong Kong. It is located between Kowloon Tong in Kowloon and Tai Wai in the New Territories, and is 495-metre high.
Lion Rock is famous for its shape and is visible from various places in Kowloon; its resemblance to a crouching lion is most striking from the Choi Hung and San Po Kong areas in East Kowloon. A trail wends its way up the forested hillside to the top, culminating atop the lion's head. The rock provides a beautiful view of the city and Hong Kong Island in the distance. The entire hill is located within Lion Rock Country Park in Hung Mui Kuk, Tai Wai and is made passable by vehicles by Lion Rock Tunnel, which connects Kowloon Tong and Tai Wai.
For a brief moment, the landscape reveals what is usually hidden.
High above the Ahr valley, the ruins of Saffenburg rise from a sea of fog. What emerges is not a castle alone, but a fragile balance between presence and disappearance, light and silence.
This series is not about chasing spectacular spots, but about patience, timing, and being present when the landscape decides to speak. Photohiking means walking with intent — slow enough to observe, focused enough to recognize the moment.

Für einen kurzen Moment zeigt die Landschaft, was sonst verborgen bleibt.
Hoch über dem Ahrtal taucht die Saffenburg aus einem Meer aus Nebel auf. Nicht als Monument, sondern als flüchtige Erscheinung – zwischen Sichtbarkeit und Verschwinden, Licht und Stille.
Diese Serie handelt nicht von spektakulärer Spotjagd, sondern von Geduld, Zeitgefühl und dem richtigen Moment. Photohiking bedeutet, mit Absicht zu gehen: langsam genug zum Wahrnehmen, wach genug, um das Bild zu erkennen.

When I saw this happening across the lake, I knew it would be necessary to get lower than my perch above. Getting there was very challenging but looked much better than on top of the higher rocks. Closer to the water gave a more intimate look and helped the foreground.
Normally I don't use the iPhone for my photos, but yesterday evening, just before I left the office, I looked up at this sky and discovered this amazing sky.
A rather unusual cloudy sky with rain and thunder. There are a lot of different structures in the clouds.
Shot is taken in Houten (The Netherlands) around 18:45.
