Weaker and weaker.
Week by week.
Day by day.
Who cares?
Why?
As long as there are
such moments of joy ...
Would I know
there's not much time left
I might like to write
about veracity, tonight. 
About manipulation,
about ethics,
(not only)
for journalists and photographers.
The peace of the night
The peace of the night to you as well. Thank you for these stunning images. Veracity is something we can all aspire to.
ReplyDeleteBut many don't "succeed", if you look around this planet.
DeleteThe image is one of my personal favourites.
..now googling what veracity means... good word!
ReplyDeleteVeracity's equivalent in German is 'Wahrhaftigkeit', practically extinct in common parlance ... and not only there ...
DeleteSembla que tothom té la capacitat per dir sempre la veritat i ser sincer, honest, franc i anar de bona fe. Per tant quan algú és mentider, hipòcrita i fals, aquesta capacitat on se n'ha anat?...
ReplyDeleteM'agrada molt la teva foto, "la manipulació" d'ella i sobretot el teu text.
Hugs, Sean.
Whoever found the formula that prevents blameless newborns for all time from becoming bad characters would be honoured as the inventor of peace on earth ;-)
DeleteI am glad you like both photo and text.
Hugs, Paula.
Que bonica que és aquesta foto!!! Manipulada o no... és preciosa.
ReplyDeleteNo sé si sempre ha estat igual en la història de la humanitat, però sí que sé que ara vivim a l'època de les mentides, les falsedats i les manipulacions.
Una abraçada, Sean.
Ah! Glad you like this very photo.
DeleteI cut off the top third of the original for photo one and turned this part upside down for photo two.
Photo three is the (not manipulated) original.

Is there a translation of Brecht's poem ‘An die Nachgeborenen’ into Catalan?
Una abraçada, Carme.
Sí, he llegit “An die Nachgeborenen” traduït al català "Als nascuts després". Traducció de Feliu Formosa, que és un bon poeta català. És un poema impressionant, quasi fa mal de tanta realitat que conté. Gràcies, Sean.
DeleteOh, good! I hadn't found Formosa's version in Catalá. But now ;-) Thank you, Carme.
DeleteCharacter matters, I wish more people understood.
ReplyDeleteIn certain states, lousy characters are even elected president by a majority.
DeleteThe official press scares me, these days... and I wonder what the people with power are up too... I think I feel the deeper meaning of your words, Sean. We are heading towards big challenges.
ReplyDeleteWe are certainly living in interesting time, loveliest of all Lindas.
DeleteI think what is circulating in the unsocial media is at least as dangerous as multi-billionaires cooking their own media soup.
Not to be forgotten the shocking media incompetence of an alarming number of contemporaries.
Beautiful post, btw. and great pictures. I wish you some peace of mind every now and then ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear. I'm almost certain that when in a minute I look at your latest drawing, such a moment will occur ;-)
DeleteBeautiful photos, as always.
ReplyDeleteMy word for this post is 'Juxtaposition'.
Thanks for the compliment, Milady. ;-)
DeleteWhat a beautiful photographs on this waters in the wood of Autum. The forest, and the water, specially in these photographs are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, to write the true is important. There are a lot of lyers. The true is ever the more important in a writing, in a story, in the Life. Greetings from Mallorca.
Welcome, J.S.. Good luck with your new project.
DeleteGreetings from Lower Saxony.
