before the fires




This photograph was taken in the Santa Monica Mountains,the exact area was the;

Rancho Sierra Vista/ Satwiwa area,it's the western edge of the Santa Monica Montains.

Satwiwa, which means "the bluffs,".


Well,I took many many pictures of this area,as well as other trails,bluffs and deep expansive canyons of these Mountains.
Also,along the Pacific coast and the Malibu area.

Now,sad to report as you well know it's a raging fire.

Which started the evening I returned to Chicago.

While there doing the course of hiking and photography,I too knew,that the area was extremely dry and brittle.
Dust swirled around frequently on the open vistas.Of course further in it was moderately stable as far as dryness was concerned.

Of course the further I traveled into the mountain ranges and bluffs,you could sense the ocean breezes cascading through the canyons.

Now,perhaps this view is burning.

Symbiosis

Click on Image to enlarge



Symbiosis is a close ecological relationship between the individuals of two (or more) different species. Sometimes a symbiotic relationship benefits both species, sometimes one species benefits at the other's expense, and in other cases neither species benefits.

Ecologists use a different term for each type of symbiotic relationship:

Mutualism
-- both species benefit
Commensalism
-- one species benefits, the other is unaffected
Parasitism
-- one species benefits, the other is harmed
Competition
-- neither species benefits
Neutralism
-- both species are unaffected

The Portal To Immortality.

The Portal To Immortality
Click on Image to Enlarge


nferno: Canto III
"Through me the way is to the city dolent;
Through me the way is to eternal dole;
Through me the way among the people lost.
Justice incited my sublime Creator;
Created me divine Omnipotence,
The highest Wisdom and the primal Love.
Before me there were no created things,
Only eternal, and I eternal last.
All hope abandon, you who enter in!"
These words in sombre colour I beheld
Written upon the summit of a gate;
Whence I: "Their sense is, Master, hard to me!"
And he to me, as one experienced:
"Here all suspicion needs must be abandoned,
All cowardice must needs be here extinct.
We to the place have come, where I have told thee
You shalt behold the people dolorous
Who have foregone the good of intellect."
And after he had laid his hand on mine
With joyful mind, whence I was comforted,
He led me in among the secret things.
There sighs, complaints, and ululations loud
Resounded through the air without a star,
Then I, at the beginning, wept there after.
Languages diverse, horrible dialects,
Accents of anger, words of agony,
And voices high and hoarse, with sound of hands,
Made up a tumult that goes whirling on
For ever in that air for ever black,
Even as the sand races about, when the whirlwind breathes.
And I, who had my head with horror bound,
Said: "Master, what is this which now I hear?
What folk is this, which seems by pain so vanquished?"
And he to me: "This miserable mode
Maintain the melancholy souls of those
Who lived with out infamy or praise.
Commingled are they with that caitiff choir
Of Angels, who have not rebellious been,
Nor faithful were to God, but were for self.
The heavens expelled them, not to be less fair;
Nor them the lower abyss receives,
For glory none the damned would have from them."
And I: "O Master, what so grievous is
To these, that make them lament so sore?"
He answered: "I will tell thee very briefly.
These have no longer any hope of death;
And this blind life of theirs is so debased,
They envious are of every other fate.
No fame of them the world permits to be;
Misericord and Justice both disdain them.
Let us not speak of them, but look, and pass."
And I, who looked again, beheld a banner,
Which, whirling round, ran on so rapidly,
That of all pause it seemed to me indignant;
And after it there came so long a train
Of people, that I ne'er would have believed
That ever Death so many had undone.

Inferno Canto III -Dante Alighieri
