Under the influence of Mars.

Mars came onto our solar system early September,causing turmoil in the lives of many

Uranus will bring realizations.

At the moment we seem to be faced with many extremes.I hardly recognize fast changing events,and eroding values,and behavior I could never have imagined.

We had a freedom of choices that came with the dawning of Aquarius.Life was good,free,colorful.

Nothing stays the same,so we must adjust and change, if we can for the better,and create value.

There appear to be extremes around us,divisions,so its time to heal,our spirits.

There was a school girl in UK who got into trouble this week,for showing about an inch of her ankles,there seem to be many meaningless restrictions these days,covering our faces and even covering ankles.In the sixties and seventies mini skirts were all the rage.

‘Fings aint what they used to be’.

Post:gifs,memes,trailers, music,on extremes today,the swinging times,reflections.

Respect all commenters please.Most of all enjoy.

Welcome to LFE.🙂be happy.

And the moon crept away to whisper to the stars.

The Moon had never seen the  yellow of daffodils in the sun.And…the moon crept away to whisper to the stars.

Synesthesia

Do certain colors trigger:memories,smells,tastes,sounds,moods,emotions,music,countries?

This is called synesthesia:color is a science,symbolic,changes in different cultures as to meaning,

eras,age,light.Colors trigger can responses in the brain.

Do you choose a color to wear everyday,for special occasions?job interviews?

I once wrote a poem about perceiving people as colors,a friend laughed so much,and asked if I was serious.I began to feel different to others,worrying!But realized many of us have these experiences.

I associate Turkey with fields of yellow sunflowers,certain places like France,with fields of blue or purple.Many countries choose specific,colors for their flags,blue for peace,or hope,red for the blood from battles,yellow for the wealth of gold.

Some people have colors for names:Red,Jade,Saffron,Snow White.

Ireland is the Emerald isle.

White crisp snow crunches under foot,Autumn colors please us all,and remind us f smkey woods,and crunchy leaves.

Blue skies,sunshine lift our spirits.

Remember: respect other commenters.the theme is:whch colors stimulate or trigger responses.Post memes,gifs,music, poems,literature,trailers.

Planes and Boats and Trains

Planes,and boats and Trains;and other forms of transport .

I love boats and trams,also love people driving me to places.Travel can be fun,or tediousMy longest train journey was on the Orient Express,not quite ae romantic as I imagined.

It took four days and nights to Istanbul?The train started off really clean,but after Jugoslavia it became really dirty and disgusting.It wasnt one train in each country we alighted on a platform and waited for new carriages to me added.Of course I didnt have a first class ticket,the train got more and more crowded.I never forgot four fat ladies got on in Jugoslavia with a picnic basket that they shared with everyone in our carriage.After Rome there was no buffet car.The seats after Rome were wooden,and numbing,I coukd hardly walk when I finally arrived in Istanbul,which still has trams that I love.

Going to the toilet was a nightmare.Two Turkish guys gave me their seatsband stood all night from Greece.customs checks and ticket checks a constant interruption

Jumbo jets mean long lines getting on and off at the destination,for me it was my first light to Australia,qThose queues take hours.Great travel by yacht,I dont drink so always  rowed ashore to buy Raki and alcoholfor the people on board That was in the Agean sea.I love rowing,and small boats.Larger ships I find a bit boring.

Gondalas in Venice is romantic and fun in fact thats really an interesting experience with the beauty Barges are also great ro live on I made a film about narrow boats once,four of us chose to live on the barges while filming,the filmcrew chose to stay in hotels along the canal,Its a peaceful world,and seeing the backs of towns,and countryside exciting.

Ballooning is my dream or even space travel.

What was your longest or most interesting journey?Most comfortable,or,uncomfortable.

Color,Color, Camelion,Paint it Pink.

Color Chameleon.

Artists love watching paint dry.

We have always decorated with paint back to the Egyptians, and cave dwellers.

For thousand of years people have used flowers,berries,blood for paint mixing.

Those beautiful old,pink houses in Spain mixed the pink with bull’s blood,In other places pig’s

Blood was used not only for paint but for glue as well.

Paint has an interesting history,for its uses,expression,adornment,and decoration,religious exaltation or message.

Body Art has made a comeback too,originating originally as tribal art.

Every picture has a story to tell…

(The pink lake is in Spain)
