When I was a child they said that when the rowan berries had

this kind of red the winter would be very cold with

loots of snow

The wind was lifting up the clouds of steam from the valley that the storm earlier had caused, while the last rays of the setting sun colored the hat of the nearby peak. At the same time the junipers, located on the lake shores, were waiting still submerged for spring to free them up from the dead grip of the thick and heavy snow.

= = =

p.s. The remaining of the ice submerged into the lake and the junipers trapped under the water were solid enough to withstand normal human weight without yielding. The cracking sounds of slow melting ice and the bubbles popping-up on the surface from time to time reminded me not to force my luck too much and go any further.

Just seemed like an appropriate pic to do in light of this afternoons tier 4 restriction announcement.

When you defeat all the other members of the household, this is the final boss to beat.

 

Happy Whiskers Wednesday!

When the young monk Tsui-Yen felt that he had understood the essence of life, he left his teacher and traveled through China. Many years later, on his return, his master asked him: " Tell me about the essence of life". and Tsui-Yen replied: “When the sky is clear and the light plays in the waves of the water. The master looked at him and said: “You have grown old too, but you have not understood. Tsui-Yen lowered his eyes and asked his old master with a tear-streaked face: “Then please tell me what the essence of life is.” The master replied: “When the sky is clear and the light plays in the waves of the water".

 

I immediately thought of this story, which is typical for Zen Buddhists.

When I visited this old dolmen at Kilclooney I managed to smash my phonecamera. My brother (he of the quick wit) told me it was the spirits of the dolmen getting their own back on me for disturbing their peace by taking photos.

 

When IT gets it right, they get it SO right!

When a warning gibbous Moon rises behind Montmartre.

 

Le 8 Février depuis Suresnes la Lune se levait derrière Montmartre. L'occasion d'en prendre plein la vue ! C'était fascinant de voir cet astre glisser derrière le Sacré Cœur, et d'en apercevoir la Lumière à travers les ouvertures de la tour puis du lanternon !

Silent House

The Chicks

 

Everyday that will pass you by

Every name that you won't recall

Everything that you made by hand

Everything that you know by heart

 

And I will try to connect

All the pieces you left

I will carry it on

And let you forget

And I'll remember the years

When your mind was clear

How the laughter and life

Filled up this silent house

 

Went into Blues Point on Thursday morning and got a nice moody dark sky.

This is a single 3.5 minute long exposure, well before the sun broke the horizon.

 

Hope you like “Silent House”

Cheers, Mike

When I was posting this seascape on Flickr I was just giving it the title of 'another beautiful sunset'. We seem to have had beautiful vibrant sunsets most days this week. Then the weather forecast came on and the presenter explained:

 

The clouds are called Sahara Dust clouds;

They appear when the winter sun is lower in the sky;

We see longer wavelength colours; orange, pink and red;

 

Dust particles in the atmosphere reflect and scatter the light from the sun;

They create vivid reds, oranges, pinks, yellows and purples.

 

And there's me thinking we just have pretty skies at the moment.

When we lose the right way to live, there is always a light a guide.

A PEOPLExpress Boeing 727 tuxies to the gate after landing at DCA in the mid 1980s. There was about a dozen airlines with 727 service at DCA.

When the sun goes down.

In a world where power crackles in the air and tension smoulders beneath the surface, one moment can ignite everything.

 

Captured in the split-second between calm and chaos —

Magic? Mayhem? Or just the beginning?

We will

Spin in our graves

Rarau - mountains in Romania are one of the strongest magnetic points on Earth - some claim. I climbed this mountain on a very nice trail in rain and fog. When I arrived at the top, everything was just gray fog! I tried to imagine the view ... and suddenly there was a wind that blew past and the clouds were blown away for 3 loooong minutes ... and I saw parts of the glory that this mist hides! Beautiful and wild Romania!

When I realised I was sitting in his run blocking his route I felt guilty when he diverted through a nasty patch of brambles

Taken through the window of my bedroom on 4th August 2022 around 22.50 (10.50pm) Finnish time.

when the cows were happy and the grass was green.

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm

Is a golden sky

and the sweet song of a lark

Walk on through the wind,

Walk on through the rain,

Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,

You'll never walk alone.

When Venus shines in the night sky, she eclipses all other lights with her incomparable beauty

 

A walk on Gress Beach, bathed in moonlight, with Venus setting in the west, the sound of the waves crashing on the reef out in the bay, the song of the grey seals, the cry of a lone seabird flying home to roost - a perfect way to end the day, and a cosy bed with some hot chocolate waiting at Mill View.
