This was intended to be part of the Stand Up for Peace Challenge last week but it took me a bit to figure out :D It's about the best homage I could to the Indian Holi Festival. For those that don't know and in short it's basically a festival to celebrate love. After I thought about the challenge a bit, I got to thinking: standin up for peace is awesome, but even better if you just applied this to all aspects of your life. Stop hating on others and stop hating on yourself. If everyone took a grip more time putting others before their own insecurities, then maybe there would be no need to stand up for peace. Maybe we would already have achieved it.

.....................................................................................

قد تفتح القلب المغلق يوما .. فتجد الجنة المفقودة ..

قد تجد كل المفقودات التي ضاعت منذ آخر رنات الدفء ..

قد تجد روعة الابتسام المطمئن .. و هدأة الاستلقاء الآمن ..

قد تجد نفسك الحقيقية المختبئة تحت أكوام الواقع .. و تكرار الأيام .. و رهق المآسي .. و رجولات الشرق ..

...

قد تفتح القلب المغلق يوما .. فتكتشف أنك مازلت تحب كطفل ..

مازلت تغني كطفل .. و تخجل كطفل .. وتضحك كطفل .. و تغضب كطفل ..

لكنك .. وياللحزن .. تحارب كجيش .. و تبكي كرجل ..

فيختفي بكاؤك في صمتك ..

...

قد تفتح القلب المغلق يوما .. فتغرق في عبق الذكرى .. من دون أن تحزن

و تسبح في بحيرات الأسماء العابرة .. من دون أن تتعب ..

و تمر تحت غيمات الحكايا .. من دون أن يصيبك وابل المطر الغزير ..

و تشاهد ماضيك في مرايا الماضي .. فلا تصيبك الحسرة .. و لا يصيبك الغرور ..

...

قد تفتح القلب يوما .. فتتلمس الدرب في عتمات الماضي

و تتلمس الرؤية في ضباب المستقبل .. و تجلس تحت خيمة الحاضر .. لتقطف من ثمر النضج .. و ترتوي من ساقية الأمل

...

قد تفتح القلب يوما .. فيفرحك الدفء المخبأ .. و تفرحك الهدايا

وتجعلك الورود تغرد ..

و تنبت القصائد جناحك ..

فتطير في فضاءات غير محسوسة ..

و تغني أغنيات الرحيل .. محملا بحقائب يملؤها الفراغ ..

منتظرا إيماءة الأصابع ..

كي تزرع في قلبك المكشوف يوما .... بذرة العودة ..

...

So no one knew, not even him, the problems he would find

On the day he journeyed deep into his mind

I close my eyes, I go far away

Away from the battlefield

In my dreams, well

Here I will enjoy it

Where innocence plays with all the laughing children

The kind who are crying right now

A taste of freedom from the pain

Of everything here I see

Life is sweet but I took it all for granted

And now I don't know if I could ever tell you

Just what we permit, we allow

Allow me to forget the life, I've made my own

I've held this nation in my hand and yet it's not my home

Oh, allow me just one answer and one reason why

Why this refugee of the family of man must die?

Tell me why....

"Sometimes I close my eyes

And dream I'm somewhere else

Anywhere away from here

Anywhere away from here

Anywhere away from here

We sold our souls and

We lost control with

More doubt than hope

Glass half empty

And discontented

From growing old

Through all the failed attempts at trying to belong

I overthink the obvious when I'm alone

But when the lights go up

I don't think I told you

I don't think I told you

That I feel out of place

So pull me underground

Don't know if you notice

Sometimes I close my eyes

And dream of somewhere else

Anywhere away from here

Anywhere away from here

Anywhere away from here

Oh, when I close my eyes

Oh, when I close my eyes

I wish I could disappear

When the lights go up

I don't think I told you

I don't think I told you

That I feel out of place

Pull me underground

Don't know if you notice

Sometimes I close my eyes

And dream of somewhere else

Anywhere away from here

Anywhere away from here

Anywhere away from here"

Sun suffocate the atmosphere

But I'm safe with you far away from you

Another fire through another open door

It's what I'm living for

Breath of mine be all that you need

It's not much from a broken nothing

Wear another truth on your turned-up sleeve

This is everything I dream

Uh uh yeah he-hell no

I am wild eyed and waiting

Uh uh yeah he-hell

I am wild eyed and wandering

Fortunately I have enough of you

You say it's not where we are

It's not what we choose

Looking out from all that you have built

With red skies I will drift

Uh uh yeah hell no

I am wild eyed and waiting

Uh uh yeah hell no

I am wild eyed and wandering

Uh uh what are your dreams?

Uh uh what are your dreams?

Switzerland, May 2021

My best photos are here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ticino-best-photos-of-southern-...

My latest ANIMAL VIDEO (warning, it's a bit shocking): www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2-Xszz7FI

You find a selection of my 80 BEST PHOTOS (mostly not yet on Flickr) here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/western-green-lizard-lacerta-bi... (the website exists in ESPAÑOL, FRANÇAIS, ITALIANO, ENGLISH, DEUTSCH)

ABOUT THE PHOTO:

So this photo is a bit of a novelty for me - at least here on Flickr, but it's also a journey back in time in a sense. I've always loved b/w and sepia photography; already as a very young teenager I would go out into the woods with an old Pentax Spotmatic (which I had nicked from my father) whenever it was a foggy day to shoot b/w compositions of sunbeams cutting through the ghostlike trees.

I used films with a sensitivity of at least 1600 (for those of you who remember what that means 😉 ), and the resulting photos had an incredibly fine grain which I loved; I blew them up to the size of posters and hung them on the walls of my teenage man-cave next to Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Slash.

But then I abandoned photography altogether for 20 years, and when I finally picked up a camera again, it was one of the digital kind. Now neither film nor grain played any role in my photographic endeavours - let alone b/w compositions: because the reason I fell in love with shooting pictures once more was the rare and incredibly colorful lizard species that had chosen my garden as its habitat.

It's this species - the Lacerta bilineata aka the western green lizard - that my photo website www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ and also my Flickr gallery are dedicated to, but I've since expanded that theme a bit so that it now comprises the whole Lacerta bilineata habitat, which is to say my garden and its immediate surroundings and all the flora and fauna I find in it.

I like that my gallery and the website have this clear theme, because in order to rise to the challenge of portraying all aspects of a very specific little eco system (which also happens to be my home of sorts), it forces me to constantly explore it from fresh angles, and I keep discovering fascinating new motives as my photographic journey continues.

Which brings me to the horse pasture you see in this photo. This playground for happy horsies lies just outside my garden, and it normally only interests me insofar as my green reptile friends claim parts of it as their territory, and I very much prefer it to be horseless (which it thankfully often is).

Not that the horses bother the reptiles - the lizards don't mind them one bit, and I've even seen them jump from the safety of the fly honeysuckle shrub which the pasture borders on right between the deadly looking hooves of the horses to forage for snails, without any sign of fear or even respect.

No, the reason I have a very conflicted relationship with those horses is that they are mighty cute and that there's usually also foals. The sight of those beautiful, happy animals jumping around and frolicking (it's a huge pasture and you can tell the horses really love it) is irresistible: and that inevitably attracts what in the entire universe is known as the most destructive anti-matter and ultimate undoing of any nature photographer: other humans.

Unlike with the horses, the lizards ARE indeed very much bothered by specimens of loud, unpredictable Homo sapiens sapiens - which makes those (and by extension also the horses) the cryptonite of this here reptile photographer. It's not the horses' fault, I know that, but that doesn't change a thing. I'm just telling you how it is (and some of you might have read about the traumatic events I had to endure to get a particular photo - if not, read at your own risk here: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51405389883/in/datepo... - which clearly demonstrated that even when it's entirely horseless, that pasture is still a threat for artistic endeavours).

But back to the photo. So one morning during my vacation back in May I got up quite early. It had rained all night, and now the fog was creeping up from the valley below to our village just as the sky cleared up and the morning sun started to shine through the trees.

And just as I did when I was a teenager I grabbed my camera and ran out to photograph this beautiful mood of ghostlike trees and sunbeams cutting through the mist. There had already been such a day a week earlier (which is when I took this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51543603732/in/datepo... ), but this time, the horses were also there.

Because of our slightly strained relationship I only took this one photo of them (I now wish I had taken more: talk about missed opportunities), and otherwise concentrated on the landscape. It was only later when I went through all the photos on my computer that I realized that I actually really liked those horses, even despite the whole composition being such a cliché. And I realized another thing: when I drained the photo of all the color, I liked it even better - because there was almost a bit of grain in it, like in the photos from my youth.

Since then I have experimented quite a bit with b/w and sepia compositions (some of which I will upload here eventually I guess), but this photo here is the first one that helped me rediscover my old passion. I hope you like it even though it builds quite a stark contrast with the rest of my tiny - and very colorful - gallery. But in the spirit of showing you the whole Lacerta bilineata habitat (and also in the spirit of expanding my gallery a bit beyond lizards and insects), I think it's not such a bad fit.

As always, many greetings to all of you, have a wonderful day and don't hesitate to let me know what you think 😊

Will you hold the line?

When every one of them is giving up or giving in,

Tell me in this house of mine?

Nothing ever comes without a consequence or cost,

Tell me will the stars align?

Will heaven step in? Will it save us from our sin? Will it?

'Cause this house of mine stands strong

That's the price you pay

Leave behind your heartache, cast away

Just another product of today

Rather be the hunter than the prey

And you're standing on the edge, face up 'cause you're a

Natural

A beating heart of stone

You gotta be so cold

To make it in this world

Yeah, you're a natural

Living your life cutthroat

You gotta be so cold

Yeah, you're a natural

Deep inside me, I'm fading to black, I'm fading

Took an oath by the blood of my hand, won't break it

I can taste it, the end is upon us, I swear

Gonna make it

I'm gonna make it

It's amazing how you

Can speak right to my heart

Without saying a word

You can light up the dark

Try as I may, I could never explain

What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face

Lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes

Saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear

People talking out loud (oooh)

But when you hold me near (you hold me near)

You drown out the crowd (the crowd, the crowd)

Try as they may, they can never define

What's been said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face

Lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes

Saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face

Lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes

Saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all

(You say it best when you say nothing at all

You say it best when you say nothing at all)

That smile on your face

The truth in your eyes

The touch of your hand

Lets me know that you need me

(You say it best when you say nothing At all

You say it best when you say nothing at all)

♫♪♫

I can hear the rain again

Baby I'm looking down

Then back at you

Where you goin'?

Tell me, don't you want to see it through?

Oh it's tearing me apart

When your heart goes

Into silence

And I just want to hold you

When your spirit breaks in two

Hey baby

I wanna lift you up

Hey baby

I wanna lift you up

Love lives on forever

The thunder never lasts

So hold on, don't you worry

The sun is coming back

Hey baby

I wanna lift you up

In the distance

I can see it in your eyes

You're fading out

Head is underwater

Honey, don't you know?

You walk a solid ground

We can head into the dark

And I will follow

Right beside you

And when the night is falling

Won't let it get the best of you

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgb0jK143MI

🎶🎶🎶

An avenue once bent in shadow

In a morning straight and hallow

You hold high a destination

You sing to me of sweet revelation

I feel the quickening in my step

But I don't even touch the ground

'Cause when I see double

It's your lullaby love that keeps me from trouble

It's your lullaby love that's keeping me level

It's your lullaby love that keeps me away

When this voice retires from talking

When these ears get tired of ringing

When my feet get bored of travelling

And it looks like it's all unraveling

When this heart's too old for dreaming

That's when I hear the angels sing your lullaby

'Cause when I see double

It's your lullaby love that keeps me from trouble

It's your lullaby love that's keeping me level

It's your lullaby love that keeps me away

'Cause when I see double

It's your lullaby love that keeps me from trouble

It's your lullaby love that's keeping me level

It's your lullaby love that keeps me away
