Seek peace within yourself, than go out into the world and see it through your new eyes.
Then I think that we'll enjoy our lives in a different way, and also find what really matters for us🙏

I read within a poet’s book
A word that starred the page:
‘Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage!’
Yes, that is true; and something more
You’ll find, where’er you roam
That marble floors and gilded walls
Can never make a home.
But every house where Love abides,
And Friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home-sweet-home:
For there the heart can rest.
- Henry Van Dyke

A couple of friends and I placed a red gelled light inside this old caboose in the ghost town of Rhyolite Nevada and did a long exposure to bring out the stars.

“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”

The sun dipped low, casting a heavy, amber glow across the frost-touched grass of the ancient meadow. There, a lone pheasant moved with the grace of a forgotten king, his copper feathers burning like embers against the deepening shadows of the approaching night. Each step he took was a silent vow to the earth, a rhythmic dance of survival beneath a sky that bled crimson and gold.
He was not merely a bird, but a spirit of the twilight, searching for the last secrets hidden within the golden stalks. As the chill of the evening wind began to whisper through the trees, his vibrant plumage remained a defiant spark of life in the fading light. He belonged to the stillness, a poetic sentinel of the fields whose beauty was a transient masterpiece, destined to vanish into the velvet embrace of the dark.

ant Pau del Camp és un antic monestir benedictí que es troba en ple barri del Raval. Fundat amb tota probabilitat al segle x, la seva església romànica és la més antiga que es conserva a la ciutat de Barcelona,[1] i és l'únic d'aquest estil a la ciutat.[2] El seu petit claustre, amb arcs polilobulats, és únic dins l'arquitectura del romànic europeu.Història
No hi ha dades exactes sobre la data de construcció. Hom creu que va ser abans de l'any 911, que és la data que figura a la làpida trobada al monestir i corresponent a la tomba de Guifré II, a qui s’atribueix la fundació del monestir. Es creu, també, que el comte va iniciar la construcció d'una església sobre les restes d'un antic edifici religiós i que s’hi va establir una comunitat de monjos benedictins. El monestir era fora de la protecció de les muralles de la ciutat; d'aquí el seu nom, ja que es trobava al mig del camp.
Com que era fora del recinte emmurallat, el monestir va esdevenir un blanc fàcil per als atacants. Així, el 985, les tropes d'Almansor el van atacar;[3] va quedar destruït gairebé completament i fou abandonat per la comunitat. A partir d'aquella data va passar a ser una simple església dedicada a sant Pau.
El 1096 va començar la restauració de l'edifici i s'hi va instaurar una nova comunitat. Malgrat tot, el monestir fou novament atacat el 1114. Tres anys després, el matrimoni format per Geribert Guitard i Rotlendis en van fer una nova restauració i van unir el monestir, en qualitat de priorat, al de Sant Cugat del Vallès.Al segle xiv es va construir una nova muralla de la ciutat i Sant Pau del Camp va quedar finalment englobada dintre del nou recinte emmurallat. El 1508, el monestir es va unir al de Montserrat fins que el 1593 es va tornar a unir, també en forma de priorat, al de Sant Cugat.
El 1617 es va unir definitivament a un altre monestir, el de Sant Pere de la Portella, situat al Berguedà. El 1672 s'hi va instal·lar el noviciat de la Congregació Claustral Tarraconense, que abans era a Lleida, i es va iniciar l'època de major esplendor del cenobi. La comunitat va abandonar definitivament Sant Pau del Camp el 1835, amb la llei de desamortització de Mendizábal, que va comportar l'exclaustració. El darrer abat va ser Joan de Safont i de Ferrer, home certament polifacètic: teòleg, matemàtic, astrònom, filòsof, catedràtic de la Universitat de Barcelona i membre de l'Acadèmia de Bones Lletres.
A partir d'aleshores, el monestir va passar per diversos usos. El 1842 va esdevenir una escola, mentre que entre el 1855 i el 1890 es convertia en caserna militar. El 1879 fou declarat Monument Nacional, gràcies a la intervenció de diversos ciutadans, entre els quals Víctor Balaguer. El recinte fou novament devastat el 1936. Des d'aleshores s'hi han fet diverses restauracions.
El CRAI Biblioteca de Reserva de la Universitat de Barcelona conserva, arran de la desamortització dels convents del 1835, els fons provinents del Monestir de Sant Pau del Camp, que actualment sumen més de vint edicions.[4] Així mateix, ha registrat i descrit diversos exemples de les marques de propietat que van identificar el convent durant la seva existència.[5]
Sant Pau del Camp (Catalan for 'Saint Paul of the countryside' / 'in the fields'; IPA: [ˈsam ˈpaw ðəl ˈkam]) is a church and former monastery in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. While the monastery now stands within the El Raval district in central Barcelona, it once stood outside the city (before 14th century); its rural location gave the church its name.
History
There are no sources about the monastery's origins, it is generally thought that it was founded by count Wilfred II of Barcelona, whose funerary inscription was found within the monastery in 1596.[1] The monastery is documented from 977; in 985 it was sacked and destroyed by the Muslim troops of al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir.[2]
Restorations were begun in 1096, through donations from Geribert Guitard and Rotlendis,[2] and a new monastic community arrived. In 1117, Sant Pau became a priory of the monastery of Sant Cugat.[3] By the 13th, a new cloister, church and monastic quarters were built.[2] In 1377, the monastery consisted of a prior and eight monks, which declined in the 15th century to consist of three monks.[2] An initial monastic meeting for the Terragona province occurred in 1577 and such meetings would continue from 1594 to 1835.[2]
The monks were removed upon the secularization of monasteries by the Spanish government in 1835.[2]
It was declared a National Monument in 1879.

Within 15 minutes of driving, biking or walking, I can visit seven first class Bernalillo County, City of Albuquerque or City of Corrales open spaces. Los Poblanos is one of these and is well known to birders with 216 species reported in 2023 on 2,332 checklists in eBird, as of today. It’s a great place for a walking, dog walking, birding and great wildlife photography opportunities. Each year there are also several well-known and attended seasonal events and festivals.
Early Thanksgiving Day morning, out to do a quick check for cranes, geese and waterfowl and I’m not disappointed. I estimate and record over 275 geese, crane, crow and other smaller birds. The migrating Sandhill Crane is the star of the show and a coveted photograph in several world class locations across New Mexico and mostly in the Rio Grande valley.
To see a large amount of well documented information in a very interesting format about the Sandhill Crane (and all migrating birds in the USA) and most importantly their migration patterns visit this great Audubon site: Sandhill Crane - Migration Map | Bird Migration Explorer (audubon.org). It's an eye- opener.
Photography like art is very subjective, images that do well on social media at for me are not usually my favourites. For example I know this woodland photo I’m posting now will not go down half as well as lets say the wave I posted a couple of days ago. That photo had dynamics stunning light and drama, todays photo has none of that. However for me this photo is far more fulfilling in every aspect, the day, the subject, the craft in the composition and the result. I could look at this image many times and not get bored, I couldn’t say that about many of my more dramatic seascapes. Did I start this piece and say photography is subjective I probably meant to say personal, because that is where empathy start within the persons heart. Is this one oak or three?

Hidden behind the wild trees
Leaves, you feel under your knees
Light does shine on your face
As your heart, now does race
Love's sweet beauty, is on your skin
You feel passion slip within
Behind the trees, that now are woken
Eyes they shine, cries are spoken
Under the cold Autumnal skies
That are spread like blue thighs
Covering you with a beautiful treasure
That does coat you with wild pleasure
I travel into the light
Where the future shines, so bright
Down on me, down below
Where i feel its heavenly glow
Shining on my waiting skin
As into the light, i climb within
(Valley of Fire, Nevada)
The trail is a cut between ridges, and still entirely in shadow as we trudge through patches of fine, deep sand on a January morning. As high points began illuminating here and there, I make my way up an incline of the Aztec sandstone, dunes compressed and cemented during the Jurassic with iron and limestone. The sand, of course, is still ubiquitous, every grain pried from the stone in protest. I angle towards an arch, which may be more of a fallen ceiling, the debris long ago crumbled, and washed and blown away, It imperfectly frames a more massive landform basking farther out in an open exposure. Its place in the scheme of things is more fortuitous, in the right place at the right time of day. So I set up and wait for my moment. Strange how time slows waiting for light to develop. The mind’s eye wants a balance, a perfection of the way the scenario should look. It believes it is only fair that the light within should equal the light without. But all things are not equal...we make our own light, content that there is contrast while we explore what we can attain. Through a lens I calculate decisions, made in a shutter click only I can hear. I look forward to the warmth inching down the wall in my little cove, where it’s chilly in the shade.
