My best photo yet; Before and after PS Elements!

A Focus stack of 4 exposures, each at f/5.6, using my Fuji XT2 w/Mitakon 20mm @ 4:1. Despite having a flat surface, the camera was still at an angle to the snow crystal, and I cropped this one in to show more detail, some editing in Adobe Camera RAW and slight levels in PS Elements 15. I think this might be my best photo so far. This time, I had to work quickly, not because of wind, but because the temperature was steadily increasing above freezing and the sunlight was getting more intense. This was at about 7:50 am.

What if somehow nighttime was warm and daytime was cool, while (despite) at the same time, the Earth’s north pole centered at a 90 degree angle to the sun? Or what if everything stayed the same, but with winters and autumns warming up while summers and springs cooling down, to an exact extent, so that the temperature was more or less the same (within ten degrees or so Fahnrenheit) while the nighttime and daytime temperatures might be exactly the same? What if it was cold on Earth, for example, 0 degrees Fahrenheit, but the sun was 10 times as bright but still the same size as our current sun? What about perpetual nighttime with high temperatures? What if the day and night lasted only minutes, but the gravity was so immense that nothing flew away? What if, while either day and night lasted extremely quickly or extremely slowly, relatively speaking, at the same time, we could try to modify it and cause totally unexpected results? I mean, what would the results exactly be?

Negative action leads to negative reaction in my life

The reason why things happening in my life never happen in my favor, is because I've been failing in life often initially. and then after the times I failed something had to happen against me, like cause and effect. I don't understand how or why though, it's like unexplained: how does a negative cause lead to a negative effect. In other words, it's like a negative action leading to a negative reaction: in theory, it shouldn't be possible but I've been observing it over many years of my life. And that's how it's been with other things, what is essentially circular reasoning. So much ideas in the world are founded on this type of reasoning. With hatred from various people, combined with strict rules leading me to think that something gravely dangerous will happen because of my failed past, my memory has faded many times and very frequently, so much that I forgot what exactly I was supposed to write to finish this sentence: my psychologically ravaged mind...

The wisdom of the day

All nations in the world, lead to eventual destruction and degradation...meanwhile people are all likely to be mistreated in the end. Listen to the voice of wisdom, one that has proved itself for as long as I can remember. Unseen entities and inexplicable phenomenon are most likely mere illusions of the senses, one's that only present themselves to those of us whose minds are anything but perfect, generally tainted with illness, as can be evidenced by lack of hard evidence. Don't escape those emotions of yours, because they are still there, even if you've made yourself emotionally insensitive. Suffering is in a sense a good thing, and not everyone needs to suffer. Death is tragic, but to some extent necessary, albeit at the correct moment. Every person who does wrong or is unethical, or immoral, has a greater chance of suffering in life, because of a lack of sympathy and understanding. Feelings such as sympathy & empathy alone are almost never enough to make the world a...
