Within The Light
There is something special about these types of early mornings, you are standing watching the sunrise, the light gradually covering more and more of the ground and the mist starts to rise...a beautiful sight to see.
These are the reasons why we drag ourselves out of bed at 4am at this time of year, you cannot beat it.

The first spring Peony to open up and show its full potential.
Of course I had to photograph it. That is what I do! :-)
Rainbow lorikeets are true parrots, within the Psittacoidea superfamily in the order Psittaciformes. The rainbow lorikeet or lorikeet (common name) is a species of parrot found in Australia. It is common along the eastern seaboard, from northern Queensland to South Australia. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas. They are true parrots of medium-size, with the length ranging from 25 to 30 cm, including the tail. The weight varies from 75 to 157 g. The plumage of the nominate race, as with all subspecies, is very bright. The head is deep blue with a greenish-yellow nuchal collar, and the rest of the upper parts (wings, back and tail) are green. The chest is orange/yellow. The belly is deep blue, and the thighs and rump are green. In flight a yellow wing-bar contrasts clearly with the red underwing coverts.
Gordonia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae, related to Franklinia, Camellia and Stewartia. Of the roughly 40 species, all but two are native to southeast Asia in southern China, Taiwan and Indochina. They are evergreen trees, growing to 10–20 m tall. The bark is thick and deeply fissured. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, serrated, thick, leathery, glossy, and 6–18 cm long. The flowers are large and conspicuous, 4–15 cm diameter, with 5 (occasionally 6-8) white petals; flowering is in late winter or early spring. The species are adapted to acidic soils, and do not grow well on chalk or other calcium-rich soils. They also have a high rainfall requirement and will not tolerate drought. S20N_838
Laurel Falls is an extremely popular destination within Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The hike to the falls and back is 2.3 miles and hikers will climb roughly 314 feet in elevation before arriving at the photogenic 80-foot waterfall.
The waterfall consists of an upper and a lower section (seen in this photo), divided by a walkway which crosses the stream (Laurel Branch) at the base of the upper falls. The falls receives its name from the mountain laurel that blooms along the trail and near the falls in May.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

37608 has just emerged from beneath the M1 Motorway at Pinxton hauling Elizabeth Line unit 345048 running as 5Q26 Old Dalby to Worksop where the unit will go into warm storage. Two moves along this lightly used line, within 40 minutes, meant a quick change of location from our original spot near Paddock Farm. This foot crossing accommodated all three of us nicely with the nettles occupying the stub of a telegraph pole.
The grass in our backyard got VERY long so you know what that means...fun for me! I found some awesome morning backlight. Thank goodness I got out there this morning with my camera because my hubby cut it all down a couple hours later! Hope you're all having a great weekend.
Within us all rages a battle no one else sees...a battle between our demons and our better angels. Our destiny is, at all times, guided by victory of one over the other.
South Africa loco NG/G16 No.130 is seen approaching Rhyd-Ddu working the 1130 Caernarfon - Beddgelert on the Welsh Highland line 6/9/24.
How you turned my world, you precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me
Everything I've done, I've done for you
I move the stars for no one else
You've run so long
You've run so far
Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel
Though I do believe in you
Yes I do
Live without the sunlight
Love without your heartbeat
I, I can't live within you
(lyrics - Mr David Bowie )

There was no room for expansion of the museum within the old monastery complex. However, architect Erick van Egeraat designed an underground museum wing in 2007. [3] The new exhibition space was created just outside the former monastery complex, with a museum garden above it. The new museum entrance was placed in the former coach house of the Drostenhuis. The museum was reopened by Queen Beatrix on November 16, 2011. [4]

A vastly important site within this featured array of artificial 'caves', and another example featured within the diagram linked below (second right).
The River Ebro 'highway' ebbs and changes direction just 5km away. Modestly moving on its long narrative of silting the Mediterranean sea with mountain grain. And as it turns from the north, the tight fluvial system provides a clean pointer and link with the Atlantic coast. Approaching the great river's source, the river simply holds a valley and hides its future with local modesty. The valley that confluences at the turning point is the (river) 'Arroyo Mardancho', the same river that flows under this monolithic church site. A sacred spring into the Arroyo Mardancho sits under this sites monolith, providing relentless fresh water to this day.
Both the Ebro and the Mardancho can easily and naturally link with the northern passage to the Rio Besaya and the Altlantic coast, and if the Ebro was once conceptualised as a great west/east, then the Mardancho would have been part of its raison d'etre. The Mardancho is also a key route to the Ebro from the CeltIberic hill fort of Mont Bernedo.
Seen by night this site hides its rarity, and some words are required to show that all is not as it first appears:
The tiled roof is a modern addition, and lifts above an outcrop of sandstone, in effect protecting the rock's surface for future generations. The rock outcrop that makes up the exoskeleton for the interior man-made space, is comprehensively covered with monolithic Sarcophage; many linked, some seeming to indicate a family unit, and some of the dimension of infants and children. A further and detached flat rock outcrop - behind this shot and up the slope, continues the theme, with another 20 or so examples of carved Sarcophage - some with trapezoid form, most andromorphic. Todays church is thus under the imprints of ancestors rather than over their memory, which tends to be the Christian tradition. Other examples of man-made spaces under monolithic necropolis do exist (see future posts), and this is not an example of idiosyncratic design, rather another local example from an upstream Ebro theme.
Organic and oblong openings have been sealed, and at times squared into shape, and the inside has lost much of its organic narrative after being 'modernised' with a tightening of edge and form - probably during a Moorish or Visigoth occupation period, so up to the 10th century.
The exterior shape of the monolith has also been walled up to afford it a clean set of lines. The illuminated Romanesque bell tower is built as a different building behind the outcrop, in the way that Italian bell towers can be separate, and in keeping with the site at Santos Justo y Pastor - just five straight km away (see below).
Socket marks show that a porch or lean-to once 'hid' the scale of the interior vaults. These marks and some other step and bench marks are worn in ways that show a use far beyond those of ideas of lone hermits.

the spring within has come to shower me
with the peace I craved for long.
I'm currently on vacation in the south of my country, but this photo was taken when I was still in Porto. I'm a little bit in love with it, and I might work on a couple of companion pieces. I hope you have a wonderful rest of week! Also, Darling Heart is coming to stay with me for a little while (YAY!) so I'll be a little bit absent. But we'll do our best to shower you with photos.

A Shakespearean tone resonated in my mind with this...yet, the words were indescribable...and I could not release them from within...hence, the title lacks what it should be...or seem...
This is SOOC
I will post the converted black and white version below...
While many innocent Ukrainians loose their lives because against the facist russian regime, life seems to continue like normal in Russia. Although, more or less like normal. 6 times a week russian rail operator RZD runs a train between Moscow and their exclave Kaliningrad. Although these trains are seen as a domestic train, normal russians can't take it without a permit. Because the train crosses Lithuania between Belarus and Kaliningrad, and the russians see this country as the enemy. But then again, did they are treat the Lithuanian people as their friend and ally?
During a moderate winter's day, train 030Ч from Kaliningrad to Moscow ran quite a bit late. As the Lituanian railways are responsible for hauling this train within their own borders, one of their modern ER20 loco's was in front of the train. With about 13 hours delay ER20-004, one of their recently repainted loo's, ran the train from Kybertai to Kena.
Strone Hill is within a woodland area operated by the Forestry Comm. Scotland and lies a few miles east of the village of Dalmally, it’s a natural resting place for travellers and in the past, drovers watered their cattle here on the long walk to the cattle markets in the south. Today it's a peaceful spot to enjoy a walk or picnic by the river. A trail within the woodland allows you to stretch your legs alongside the riverbank which takes you to an impressive viewpoint overlooking this lovely waterfall of the River Lochy.

A Novel by Mitsushiro Nakagawa
“Synopsis”
A Palestinian group from Gaza hacks into North Korea’s cryptocurrency system, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars. Their true goal is not money—but to recreate the lost homeland of Gaza on American soil.
Amid the backdrop of hardline Republican immigration policies and a growing wave of xenophobia, a quiet plan begins to take shape: the gradual collapse of America from within.
During a speech at Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford is shot. Almost simultaneously in Los Angeles, former president Owen Reed is attacked at a rally for Democratic hopeful Ryan Bennett.
Two assassinations—mirroring one another—ignite a nation’s deepest divide. Yet, against all odds, Justin survives. His blood type is one in 2.5 million: the Bombay Blood Group.
The only person who can donate such blood is Anaya Patel, a community art facilitator working in Brooklyn. Her blood, stored in the Bellevue Hospital Blood Bank, is used for an emergency transfusion that saves the candidate’s life.
Jack Vance, an agent of the U.S. Secret Service, suspects a Gaza-based network behind the attacks. Together with Cameron Bartlett, the FBI Director of the Los Angeles Field Office, and Veronica Reeves, a senior investigator from New York, he begins to uncover a vast conspiracy.
Their investigation leads them to Rafi Gannam, a former architecture student at the Islamic University of Gaza, who has infiltrated redevelopment sites across Los Angeles and New York—embedding C4 explosives deep within beams and structural cores.
His targets: new residential districts where agents of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) live—symbols of “the order America built.”
Veronica urges the President to pursue dialogue to prevent further destruction, but President Grant M. Ranford refuses to listen.
Meanwhile, the recovering Justin and his Democratic rival Ryan appear on national television, calling for unity beyond political divisions.
Their words of reason, however, are drowned out when Grant takes the stage in Iowa, defiantly declaring: “We will never bow to terror.”
Among the crowd, Rafi’s operatives have already taken their positions.
As chaos erupts and the stage collapses, Amir Nasser—once Rafi’s comrade, haunted by the memory of his sister’s death in Gaza—tries desperately to halt the chain of destruction.
But Rafi’s conviction remains unshaken.
Under the twilight beneath the Williamsburg Bridge, amid the city’s fading noise, the two men part ways.
It is the boundary between prayer and vengeance, between hope and nothingness.

Recently, director Ridley Scott remarked that streaming films and series have become dull.
I agree.
If you have two hours to spare for such stories, I ask for only two minutes of your time.
Two minutes with my novel will outlast those two hours.
I am confident of that.
Stay tuned.

(Today’s photos. Unpublished.This is unrelated to the novel.)
Because of my child, I stayed one night at a hotel in Shinjuku. Except for the first two shots—the back entrance and the izakaya—I took everything within 30 minutes, starting at 6:00 a.m.
This time the trip was all about my child, so I only slipped out briefly before breakfast to take a few photos. The hotel breakfast was delicious. :)

B♭ （ビーフラット） ……. Mitsushiro Nakagawa
“あらすじ”
北朝鮮の仮想通貨システムをハッキングし、数億ドルを奪取したガザ出身のパレスチナ人グループが、アメリカ合衆国へ密かに潜入する。
彼らの目的は、失われた祖国ガザを、アメリカの地に「復元」することだった。
共和党による強硬な移民政策と、国内にくすぶる排外感情を利用し、アメリカ社会を内側から崩壊させる計画が静かに進行していく。
共和党大統領候補ジャスティン・ブラッドフォードがマディソン・スクエア・ガーデンで演説中に狙撃され、ほぼ同時刻、ロサンゼルスでは前大統領オーウェン・リードもまた、民主党候補ライアン・ベネットの集会で撃たれる。
国家を二分する双方向の暗殺。だが、ジャスティンは奇跡的に生還する。
彼の血液型は、世界でわずか250万人に一人といわれる「ボンベイブラッド」。
その希少な血を提供できたのは、ブルックリンで活動するコミュニティアート・ファシリテーター、アナヤ・パテルだった。
彼女の血液はベルビュー病院の血液バンクに保存されており、緊急輸血によって、候補者の命はかろうじて繋がれた。
シークレットサービスのジャック・バンスは、テロの背後にガザ出身の組織が関与していることを察知し、FBIロサンゼルス支局長官キャメロン・バートレット、ニューヨーク支局の特別捜査官ヴェロニカ・リーブスと共に捜査を進める。
やがて彼らは、イスラム大学で建築学を学んだラフィ・ガンナムが、ロサンゼルスやニューヨークの再開発現場に潜入し、梁や構造体の中枢にC4爆薬を仕込んでいた事実に辿り着く。
標的は、ICE（移民・関税執行局）やERO（執行・送還作戦部門）の職員が暮らす新興住宅街——すなわち、「アメリカが築いた秩序」そのものだった。
ヴェロニカは、これ以上の破壊を防ぐため、大統領への対話を進言するが、現職のグラント・ランフォード大統領は耳を貸さない。
一方、命を取り留めたジャスティンと民主党候補ライアンは、テレビを通じて国民に訴えかけ、分断を乗り越えようとする。
だが、その理性の声を嘲笑うかのように、グラントはアイオワ州での演説を強行し、「テロには屈しない」と宣言する。
その会場には、すでにラフィの仲間が率いる工作チームが潜入していた。
崩壊する会場の惨状を前に、仲間の一人アミール・ナッセルは、かつてガザで妹を失った記憶に引き裂かれ、破壊の連鎖を止めようとする。
だが、ラフィの信念は揺るがない。
ウィリアムズバーグ橋の下、夕暮れの喧騒のなか、二人は決別する。
それは、祈りと報復、希望と虚無の境界線だった——。

僕のこの小説は、来年、２０２６年２月末日に公開します。
先日、リドリースコット監督がサブスクの映画やドラマ群がつまらないと話していたようだけど、同感です。
僕も非常に退屈です。
それらに2時間を要するなら、僕の小説を２分間だけ読んで欲しい。
その2分間は、２時間を越えるでしょう。
僕は自信があります。
ぜひ、期待してお待ちください。

This is the 3rd in a series of 4. Framed within; where each frame represents a way of life. Many people view others using reference points like the frames in this facade...a little of this frame, a little of another...as though life can be placed in a frame, made picture perfect, or by moving on to a next frame, start anew.
We organize our lives to the best of our abilities by placing ideas of ourselves and our world within boxes or frames. Or we freewheel, letting others place labels wherever they find appropriate and try to ignore the existence of frames. Outside are 2 tightropes for the few who are truly adventurous.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derwentwater
Derwentwater (or Derwent Water) is one of the principal bodies of water in the Lake District National Park in north west England. It lies wholly within the Borough of Allerdale, in the county of Cumbria.
The lake occupies part of Borrowdale and lies immediately south of the town of Keswick. It is both fed and drained by the River Derwent. It measures approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long by 1 mile (1.6 km) wide and is some 72 feet (22 m) deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited. Derwent Island House, an 18th-century residence, is a tenanted National Trust property open to the public on five days each year.
Derwentwater is a place of considerable scenic value. It is surrounded by hills (known locally as fells), and many of the slopes facing Derwentwater are extensively wooded. A regular passenger launch operates on the lake, taking passengers between various landing stages. There are seven lakeside marinas, the most popular stops being: Keswick, Portinscale and the Lodore Falls, from which boats may be hired. Recreational walking is a major tourist activity in the area and an extensive network of footpaths exists within the hills and woods surrounding the lake.
The Keswick—Borrowdale road runs along the eastern shore of the lake and carries a regular bus service. There is a lesser, or unclassified, road along the western shore connecting the villages of Grange and Portinscale.
Derwentwater gave its name to the Earldom of Derwentwater.
The lake is believed to be the last remaining native habitat of the vendace (Coregonus vandesius) fish from the 4 originally known sites: Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwent Water in the Lake District and the Castle Loch & Mill Loch in Lochmaben.[2]
Etymology
'Derwent' is " '(River) with oak trees', traditionally explained from Brit." (i.e.: Brythonic Celtic) " 'derwā' 'oak' plus suffixes, hence of the same origin as other English rivers named Derwent, Darwen, Darent and Dart...The river gave its name to Derwent Water (which was also known as the 'Lake of Derwent', 'Keswick Lake', or 'Keswick Water' in the 18th-19th centuries)...".[3] Plus "OE 'wæter', with the meaning probably influenced by its ON relative 'vatn'
Derwentwater's islands
There are numerous islands in Derwentwater, the largest being: Derwent Island, Lord's Island, St Herbert's Island, Rampsholme Island, Park Neb, Otter Island, and Otterbield Island. St. Herbert's Island is named after a C. 7th priest hermit, St. Herbert of Derwentwater.

Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism. Only love can touch and hold them and be fair to them.
Nothing touches a work of art so little as words of criticism: they always result in more or less fortunate misunderstandings. Things aren't all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet ~

The vision of the center of this mandala beleaguered me in the same night when I completed Kabeirô – and I even was told its name: Worlds within Worlds.
Instantly, I sensed a profound aversion to both the image and the name, and for about one week, I refused to start with the work on the mosaic.
Then, one sleepless night, I had another vision which was very weird: before I saw anything, I had the sensation that my body was a tremendous, overdimensioned black sphere which had a very small white sphere in its midpoint; not till then, I saw the image of the black sphere, but somehow two-dimensional (onyl the small white sphere in the center was three-dimensional), but I knew that my body – more precisely: my whole self – and the image were one and the same, and that something with it was quite wrong.
Then, after some frightening minutes or hours (I really don't know), another image arose: a white sphere, much smaller than the black one, and with a small black sphere in its middle. This white sphere was outside of my body, I only could see but not sense it, and the feeling of something quite wrong got stronger, and very scary.
The third image which arose after another frightening minutes or hours, was exactly the same I already had seen after I had completed Kabeirô: Taigitu, the symbol of life itself as well as the symbol of the polarity which forms the basis of everything in this wonderful and appalling world.
Not until then, when Taigitu arose, I understood what was wrong with the first two images: the black and the white sphere were meant to compose ONE sphere: a complete whole INSIDE myself.
On the following day, I started working on the mosaic, for I was completely aware of the NECESSITY of creating it. I just had one wish: that I was allowed to find a second name for the mandala which was concordant with my longing for staying integrated in the world of Greek mythology.
I worked on the mosaic from sunrise to sunset, and late in the night, I finally got to know the name I could welcome from the bottom of my heart: Kybele.
Kybele (English: Cybele), the great God mother of the mountain Ida (Latin: Magna Mater), was a goddess who originally was deified in Phrygien, together with her lover Attis, and later also in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. The cult of Kybele and Attis was – similar as the cult of Mithras – a widespread mystery cult up to the Late Classic Period. The whole legend concerns apparently the gender dualism; it explains the origin of the world by an interaction of the male and the female element of the universe: the heavenly Attis must inseminate the mother earth Kybele with its blood so that the world can arise.
The mandala is not yet completed; I suppose that it's going to be quite huge and that I'll work on it for a couple of weeks, but I don't know definitely... – well, we will see. ;-)

Yes, yes we all have seen hundreds, no, probably thousands of flower images on Flickr. And to be honest after awhile one pretty much looks a lot like the others. But sometimes, sometimes, one flower will stand out in our mind and imagination as this one did for me. The colors, and those colors within, the depth of field of the green background and my imagination shift into high gear. And the more I stare at it, the more I can see.
Rock Rose.

I believe that there institutions within a community which stand for the spirit and heart of that community, there's the church, the local football team, and the local pub. I could be a while *burp* sorry!!

Situated within the Berchtesgaden Alps in the municipality of Schönau am Königsee, just south of Berchtesgaden and the Austrian city of Salzburg, the Königssee is Germany's third deepest lake. Located at a Jurassic rift, it was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It stretches about 4.8 miles in a north-south direction and is about 1 mile across at its widest point. Except at its outlet, the Königsseer Ache at the village of Königssee, the lake is similar to a fjord, being surrounded by the steeply-rising flanks of mountains up to 8,900 feet, including the Watzmann massif in the west.
