If their empire hadnt ended they would currently be preparing for mass suicide/genocide..
My brother is currently in Oz and will be able to view the start of "the Event" he was also at the melbourne cup a few days back which was won by Green Moon. I told him in an email to back Fiorente who finished 2nd to green moon. I also told him that Green moon wouldnt be a bad bet either.
It is rather strange that my Bro has ended up in OZ and was at the melbourne cup. He hates horse racing and isnt really a fan of astronomy either.
I have spent my life studying the stars and have researched the mayans and their last ecplipse extensively.
I find it both wierd and off putting that he got to see an event which i have longed to see ie the melbourne cup and that he is about to view this eclipse in person an event i have watched many times using astro software but i wont be able to view in real life.
No fate but what we make for ourselves..does anyone believe this line from the terminator..i dont!
in the train engine photo, i like the composition -- cars, grass, sky, soothing and pleasant
on the thatch-roof over the "train barn" is a cross

red umbrella photo -- after all these years i believe ive spotted you AF, in the middle there? with the Pet Shop Boys hairdo? didnt know you were married tho!
. . . leaves on stones -- priceless doubloons the fools overlooked!
boy eating his mcdouble burger while it dubbles on by lol
fog-photo is evocative and so is the puffsky above the sailors...

the upsidedown boy, midair, has a great trumpet emerging from his mouth, aimed at the sky
haha just thought up that silly word tho it's probably been used before.. I do like your pics when you put them up here, everyday images that tell such stories and have multi possibilities..imagination.
to quote ray.. "red umbrella photo -- after all these years i believe ive spotted you AF, in the middle there? with the Pet Shop Boys hairdo?"
LOL.. I've always imagined you as looking like the Xmen cartoon character gambit :)at least you have the same hairdo! aahh...but NOT a cartoon ok..lets get that straight. a human doppelganger of gambit ;)

i expected AF to look like a skylark and instead, in the pitchers we find him resembling Flock of Seegulls
perhaps in CZspeak the word for "seegull" is "skylyrka"?
And the rosehips?! Ah, Aferrismoon Rosehips. They make a tasty snack when one is out hiking. Better after a good frost and even in the snow The freezing seems to make them sweeter Sort of along the line of icewine very high in vit C and many other goodies I have eaten a great many of them in my travels Be sure to spit out the seeds!!
Rose hips are an abundant natural source of vitamin C, regarded as an important antioxidant. Used regularly as a tonic or food supplement, these compact, nutritious hips will help build the body's defense against colds and flu, catarrh, sore throats, and chest infections. Six to eight fresh raw rose hips, taken daily, will help prevent illness. Rose hip tea, taken following a course of antibiotic therapy, will help re-establish the beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. The natural balance of intestinal flora may have been disrupted or destroyed by the action of antibiotic drugs. Rose hip tea can also soothe the nervous system and relieve exhaustion. An infusion of the leaves and petals is said to help bring down fevers. A decoction of the seed is diuretic and is used for kidney ailments and problems with the lower urinary tract. The pectin and fruit acid content of the seeds have a laxative and mildly diuretic effect. Rose hip preparations can also ease the pelvic congestion and pain of menstruation
give them a whirl Af The brits used them to prevent scurvy etc cheers
Cheers Aferrismoon, a good collection of images. I like the details of the ground, sometimes a bigger picture can be revealed by the details. The vibrant yellow tree is good too, it looks a bit like it sneezed and dropped half its leaves. The photo of the dead flowers is interesting, such unusual colours. Hope all is good there.
Dear Fez :) Hope you and your family have a happy Christmas.. All the best and a safe and peaceful new year..to y'all.. Many cheers from Us in OZ A (((hug)))
