This lighthouse, originally built in 1912 has born the brunt of brutal winds and waves for over a century now. A symbol of a time past, this icon holds fast in January's setting sun.
I was working at the wind farm today and the views were spectacular with the clouds and mountains in the background.
Fantastic Portugal, Great countryside, where you can get up close to these wonderful machines. Power and Beauty.
Winter Wind Farm
This is one of the wind farms north of Moffat on the road to Edinburgh, another from that Saturday:)
I love the way the fresh snow is clinging to the trees but also the way that the trees almost mimic the wind turbines behind on the hillside.
Near Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland

There are many days when the news of the world simply mystifies me, saddens me, leaves me feeling as though I want to be farther from not more involved in the bigger world. But the bigger world is so full of gifts, sweetness that my eyes pass over, gestures of kindness, whole stories told in gestures.Driving by a residential sidewalk, I noticed an old man, halo hair glowing in sunlight stopping the wheelchair he pushed to gently straighten the tiny frail woman seated within. Carefully he placed her hands back in her lap, one atop the other, smiled into her face and resumed his place behind her. No one beyond the hearts they touch will know when they leave this world, it will not be headline news, their contributions will be quietly known to those nearest their life. The big news last night and this morning was focused on celebrity deaths. What makes one life more noteworthy than another? Our collective interest and response. So much room to squeeze in and be heard, so many opportunities to measure and to judge, the temptation exists. I am not of a church affiliation, though I believe I share in a community of faith (many faiths), but even on the perifery of such I save these words and revisited them this morning.
Corinthians-13-12:13
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.
And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
let the wind carry your sorrow and your dreams
and the water cleanse and renew.

Our daughter was jumping to see how far the wind would push her forward. Cold air coming from the South Pole mixed with hot air from Australia is what we breath here. Fortunately most of the sand was hurtling along the beach and not in our faces.
Have a good Tuesday and thanks especially if you have time for a comment.
Aeolus, the son of Hippotes, is the Keeper of the Four Winds within the myth known as Homer's Odyssey.
Aeolus is a minor god placed on the island of Aeolia by the more prestigious Olympian gods of Greek mythology. He is placed in charge of the Anemoi Theullai, the four spirits of the four winds kept deep within the island of Aeolia.
When the Olympian gods wanted to send wind or storms to the vessels of the Greeks, they would command Aeolus to release the four winds.
The four main Anemoi are Boreas (North), Zephyrus (West), Notus (South) and Eurus (East).
Their Roman equivalents (Venti) are, respectively, Aquilon, Favonius, Auster and Vulturnus.

When in the heights of majestic Himalayas, the weather changes very quickly. A shot when winds started playing and temperature started dropping rapidly.
Beach, Sea Isle city, NJ. Very strong winds did a wonderful job of smoothing and shaping this footprint in the sand.

Merry Christmas !!
Sorry, I didn't have any Christmas-like images prepared, so I upload wind chimes, even though it's a bit of a Christmassy season.
メリークリスマス！
クリスマスっぽいイメージを用意してなかったので、季節は異なりますが風鈴です。

in bonsai
there is a shaping wind in the hand
it flows from thoughts
from a vision
it flows for a lifetime
yet the bonsai is never complete...
when that lifetime ends
the bonsai may pass to another hand
perhaps the thoughts the vision
merge with that hand
perhaps they diverge
perhaps this continues
for several lifetimes
yet the bonsai is never complete...
it is complete only when
every molecule of the bonsai
has returned pollenlike to the ether...
eventually
a single molecule may reappear
it may reappear in a vision
it may reappear in a hand
it may reappear in a wind

Wind on the island
The wind is a horse
hear how he runs
through the sea
through the sky (...)
