I told the sun, not to shine and stay away I told the lake, to go dry and wash away Am I wrong? Am I strong? Walk away Do I know there are no words to say? Am I yours? Am I mine, anyway? Do I know there are no words?
I am the only princess, I am indestructible I am winged victory, I am so breakable I am the distant planet, I am the golden sun I am the broken pieces, I am the lonely one
Asked the sky to fall down on you Asked the night to be solid proof Am I good? Am I bad, or the same? Am I bad? Am I worse? Stay away Is there anything else left to say? Are there really any words?
I am a flying spaceship, identifiable I am the perfect lover, tell me, I am lovable I am the distant planet, I am the purple sun I am the highest mountain, I am the lonely one
So here's me now, without you I turn the lights out, without you Should I be frightened, without you Always night now, without you
I am the darkest morning, I am the sleeping fool I am the wandering gypsy, I am right here next to you I am the distant planet, I am the golden sun I am the empty canyon, I am the lonely one
The lonely one

~ Waterton Lake Eclipse ~
Explanation: Recorded on April 15th, this total lunar eclipse sequence looks south down icy Waterton Lake from the Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada, planet Earth. The most distant horizon includes peaks in Glacier National Park, USA. An exposure every 10 minutes captured the Moon’s position and eclipse phase, as it arced, left to right, above the rugged skyline and Waterton town lights. In fact, the sequence effectively measures the roughly 80 minute duration of the total phase of the eclipse. Around 270 BC, the Greek astronomer Aristarchus also measured the duration of lunar eclipses – though probably without the benefit of digital clocks and cameras. Still, using geometry, he devised a simple and impressively accurate way to calculate the Moon’s distance, in terms of the radius of planet Earth, from the eclipse duration. This modern eclipse sequence also tracks the successive positions of Mars, above and right of the Moon, bright star Spica next to the reddened lunar disk, and Saturn to the left and below.

~ A Magnificent Construct ~
What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.

~ Fire Of Fall ~
Aurora hail, and all the thousand dies, Which deck thy progress through the vaulted skies: The morn awakes, and wide extends her rays, On ev’ry leaf the gentle zephyr plays; Harmonious lays the feather’d race resume, Dart the bright eye, and shake the painted plume.

And yet day and night meet fleetingly at twilight and dawn. And their merging sometimes affords the beholder the most enchanted moments of all the twenty four hours. A sunrise or sunset can be ablaze with brilliance and arouse all the passion, all the yearning, in the soul of the beholder.

~ Lake Natron Turns Animals To Stone ~
While traveling northern tanzania for a pictorial journey of east africa, british photographer Nick Brandt unexpectedly came upon a number dead birds and bats that appeared to be made out of stone. the animals had washed up along the shoreline of the lethal lake natron, a salt lake located near the kenyan border. the waterway contains a deadly chemical composition — a very high soda and salt content — which causes any creature who dares to dip in to die, calcify, and remain perfectly preserved as they dry. brandt notes that the chemical level was so extreme, that while he was capturing the images, the ink stripped off his kodak film boxes within just a few seconds. The mummified species are the eerie aftermath of nature’s nightmarish unpredictability. for his monochrome portraits, brandt carefully removes the found birds from the water and places them in living positions, perching them on branches, and arranging them as floating figures on the stagnant shore.
