Höre nicht, was es mir sagt,
Habe keine Ohren,
Fühle nicht, was es mir klagt,
Klagen ist für Toren.

When it talks, I am not listening.
Got no ears.
Don't feel its moaning.
Moaning is for idiots.

English translation is mine. Text from Mueller's "Winterreise". Fuji X-E2 plus Mitakon Speedmaster at F0.95. Window light.

Martin O'Neill (*1952) is a prominent Irish football manager (managing clubs in England most of the time). There is abundant material about him in the public domain, but the title claims that the book represents "the" (final, authoritative) biography. Perhaps the person currently reading the text disagreed. This is a library copy, left on the bench, in the snow. Waiting for the next reader. You would find it in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. Libraries can't go more public than this. Fuji X100F.

Fuji X-E2 plus Helios 44M-7 wide-open (shot as JPEG). It is absurd, is it not? To knowingly demolish the planet. Privileging the life of the present versus putting at risk the life of the future. What makes it so absurd is the fact that we do know what we are doing. It is not good enough to blame the oil and gas industry. Many, if not most of us, are their willing accomplices. It is absurd.
