#Transience

Nothing flourishes for ever; each generation gives place to its successor.

[Nihil enim semper floret; aetas succedit aetati.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 11, ch. 15 / sec. 39 (11.15/11.39) (43-02 BC) [ed. Harbottle (1897)]

Some trees in autumn at the edge of our lower meadow and fields. The aspen trees with golden leaves surrounded by dead spruce trees are impressive. I still have to collect some of the leaves for the animals' bedding in the next few days. We have sown some winter rye in the former potato field and will likely resow before the snow arrives. The birds enjoy pecking the grains.

A landscape of a steep meadow and field surrounded by trees in autumn. The meadow is covered largly with leaves. Large aspens with golden leaves are in the center, some of which have fallen leaves. In the background, dead spruce trees can be seen surrounding the aspens. More deciduous trees like a big rowan trees are visible on the right side. On the lower left side of the photo is a shelter with a hay rack, manure spreader, and stacked boards. In the background is a rural mountain landscape with mainly larch forests.

The dry stone wall is located in a remote area that I can only reach with a wheelbarrow. For the heavy stones, I needed some help from my brother to brake/hold the wheelbarrow and to lift/align the stones.
The pile of stones is full of life. I leave them alone most of the time. I’ve seen grass frogs inside the wall joints several times.

A dry stone wall supporting a slope in autumn beneath birch trees, aspen rowan hazelnuts and other trees and shrubs. The stone are surrounded by fallen leaves and a dead tree stump on the right side.

A little detour to our field/meadow. I started to built this remote dry stone wall or pile (whatever you call it) like five years ago, and added and aligned some stones over the last years.
It has become a habitat, and shrubs have settled above the wall in recent years. But I haven't finished it yet. I need to gather the right stones for that.

Hey!
Schaut uns an!
Wie sehen wir aus?
Die Sonne hat uns das Leben gegeben,
aber jetzt wird sie uns es wieder nehmen.
So liegen wir also da und warten.
Was passiert als nächstes?
Was passiert mit uns, wenn die Sonne nicht mehr da ist?

A quotation from Shakespeare

GAUNT: His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last,
   For violent fires soon burn out themselves;
   Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short;
   He tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes;
   With eager feeding food doth choke the feeder;
   Light vanity, insatiate cormorant,
   Consuming means, soon preys upon itself.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 2, sc. 1, l. 37ff (2.1.37-44) (1595)

A quotation from James Hilton

The first quarter-century of your life was doubtless lived under the cloud of being too young for things, while the last quarter-century would normally be shadowed by the still darker cloud of being too old for them; and between those two clouds, what small and narrow sunlight illumines a human lifetime!

James Hilton (1900-1954) Anglo-American novelist and screenwriter
Lost Horizon, ch. 8 [High Lama] (1933)

I’m on a business trip and found this beautiful #ruin of a #church.
#photography #transience

Interior view of a church ruin with tall Gothic arches, partially preserved frescoes, and windows without glass. The altar and stone structures remain in place, surrounded by weathered walls with faded decorative patterns. Sunlight highlights the worn stone, while trees are visible through the open windows under a partly cloudy sky.

It's easy to think this thick fossil-fuel-powered hypercapitalist consumerist culture we live in is the only way to be. For most of humanity over many millennia, things were very different.

These artifacts are our past and our future.
