By the English daily newspapers we may find The Guardian which has an eye for the way human beings fit in the universe and how we can look at what is around us. They have in the week several themes looking at a certain aspect around building up the human being and about man’s relation with his environment.
For them it is necessary that man does something seriously to avoid climate change bringing us down. Without a balanced, comparative assessment of strategies to align energy use and industry with inescapable climate action, we won’t be able to choose the best possible future. Man also has to come to see how nature is an essential part making it possible for us to live nicely.

Stretching to a Full Harvest by Dan Frugalberg, talking about God Who tests us beyond our expectation but never beyond our strength.
Materialism in all its ghastly guises is pulling man down. To get them to better senses we need to show man the beauty of what is already there provided by the Divine Creator. We are pleased that there are also several bloggers on the net who appreciate what is around them and who do not want to keep it just for themselves but want to share it on their blogs which are available in a lot of countries. We can recommend a.o. Cindy Knoke, Dan Frugalberg, Pete Hillman, and Purple Rays (Jonathan Udo Ndah) who present regularly an insight on what nature has to offer to mankind. On the net several dreamers with some creativity in writing, who love nature and who are feeling very close to it, can be found. One such person who enjoys life and want to share his arts with each other brings the blog Magic nature poem. He recognises that we are are surrounded by energetic creatures and writes
Humans, animals, plants, earth, universe within planets, suns, stars, moons, everything.
We are all parts of something very big.
Everyone is a part of a very big energy.
We all seem to be seperate
But that is not true.
We are all connected by our energies.
A network consisting of our individual energies.
We fulfill the universe. {Energy #4}

Flower ball by Magic nature poem
While the world goes around and around we have to find our position in it, making sure that we are not pulled down by the ravishing electronic speed and pushing commercial consumer society, where people live in a world, which lives faster and faster. In that world we have to stand strong on our feet, with our mind focussing on the right things. In that hectic life we do have to find moments to enjoy nature, to watch colours changing, flowers growing, animals jumping or flying around.
It is for people who want to reach their dreams, their plans that such writers and photographers may bring something enlightening. On this site we can not bring many photographs because our funds our very limited (not to say non-existent) but we would love to recommend to enjoy watching the above mentioned sites and the links we regularly offer you (our readers).
Each year the media looks at the magnitude of photo’s made and newspapers and press agencies present their photographer of the year.
Friday opened the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 52 exhibition at the Natural History Museum in London before touring internationally.
American photographer Tim Laman was named winner of the prestigious annual competition for his image Entwined Lives, showing a critically endangered Bornean orangutan in the Indonesian rainforest. The award is given for a story told in just six images, which are judged on their story-telling power as a whole as well as their individual quality.
Here you can view the winning images selected by the international jury. Wildlife Photographer of the Year champions ethical photography. Images are chosen for their artistic composition, technical innovation and truthful interpretation of the natural world > Gallery 2016

When writing an article sometimes our years do not work to our advantage to remember names. As such we did forget also to mention Rabirius, a digital artist and photographer who regularly posts pictures and artworks to his site, as well as small texts about his travels or other cultural things he likes.
We do find his site Rabirius is a must see, so please come to discover it as well ,and notice how masterly he can bring some extra dimention to landscapes or views so many people walk alongside and might not notice the poetry of it.
Some examples:
A Book Of Animals where he explores the relationship between nature and civilisation.
While their natural habitat is reduced every day, some animals flight back with claws, hooves, teeth and horns, while others hide under water or take to the sky.
“A Book Of Animals“ shows some of these brave survivors.
In Places To Visit you may find one of those travel books that documents a journey whichy took the master photographer from Denmark and Sweden to Germany and further to the Balkans with a detour via France and Malta. After visiting Bosnia & Herzegovina and Macedonia the route took me to Cyprus, Moldova, Turkey and then up the Caucasian Mountains in Georgia and Armenia. To complete the journey he travelled over the Caspian Sea to pay a visit to Kazakhstan as well. with his magical touch he creates an extra world of imagination.
In that world we live in we have had several civilisation, but about those forms of living and societies we may question not only how animals try to survive the approach of civilization, but how man can manages its headaches, tears, anger, war and solve its problems. => A Book Of Civilization + A Book Of Civilization, Free eBooks & More!
Not only we may look strange and have a weird look at the things around us. Therefore come to see his pictures and find a.o.

We wish our readers many moments of imagination and wondrous travels by Rabirius his marvellous pictures.
