The Land of Via Claudia Augusta
(Pre-sunset light on New Year's eve, overlooking a small part of the northern Alps, a view which I imagine was already enjoyed by the Romans who had built a settlement on this hill in 13AD...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

Wide-format photo of a beautiful snowy winter landscape of the foothills and peaks of the northern Alps near Füssen. The freezing temperatures and the setting sun is making the hazy sky glow orange/pink with cold blueish light in the lower region in the foreground. Partially snow-covered forest and fields with small wooden huts.

"These lands weren't empty lands. Even the first small portion was said to be populated by Canaanites. The third claimed area is the lands of
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Making a claim — nicely wrapped in religious language... — to lands that others already occupy is the very essence of settler colonialism"…

The Claimants to the Tortured Land
It seems to me that all of the people who live in the land that was once (allegedly) promised and is now (in brutal reality) tortured have equal claim to be of the seed of Abraham. This is the heart of the tragedy. They are all one people, literally one family; cousins.

ERA 100 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A black-and-white photo showing the edge of a rooftop lined with jagged glass shards embedded in cement, likely for security. The shards glint faintly against an overcast sky. In the background, utility poles with tangled electrical wires and ceramic insulators stretch across the frame. On the right, dried plant stems hang over the rooftop, their brittle texture contrasting with the hard glass and concrete. The image evokes a sense of urban decay and quiet tensio…

ERA 100 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A monochrome image of a fenced-off area, likely under construction or restricted. The metal fence bears handwritten Chinese characters: “No entry” and “No peddling.” Behind the fence are tall trees and a power line running horizontally. In the foreground, a covered object with a brick on top sits near a streetlamp. The scene feels quiet and controlled, with signs of urban regulation and exclusion.

Wires crisscross in various directions, forming a complex web. The monochrome palette emphasizes the geometry and industrial feel of the infrastructure. The image reflects the intricacy and importance of urban power distribution systems.

"This is the heart of the tragedy. They are all one people, literally one family; cousins. The hatred, the contempt, and now the genocide, arise out of the claim by some to be uniquely their mutual god's chosen people, to be sole inheritors of their common patrimony.
This is the ultimate evidence of blasphemy.
By their fruits shall ye know them."

it’s one of the world’s most important protected areas.
As such, the presence of an oil field inside its borders wa…

"How can this mess be resolved?
Before it can be resolved at all, it seems to me, first must come repentance. Repentance, yes, for the sins of terrorism which have been perpetrated on both sides, but repentance first for the sin of Abraham.
What is the sin of Abraham?
Thou shat not steal
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house"
