‘Alien World?’ photo by Ivar Marthinusen

‘Alien World?’ is my name for this magnificent photograph . This strangely beautiful flat alien landscape looks like a lake of steaming gas which tumbles into a misty void with rainbow columns and a second sun. Is this a planet near Betelgeuse? Maybe it’s in a 2 dimensional universe somewhere other? Or perhaps this is Tolkien’s Middle Earth floating, hovering in between? What to you see?

It’s actually on Earth. The photo was taken at a ski resort in Åre, Sweden by Ivar Marthinusen on Jan. 27, 2009. A view of the world from above atop a mountain… with sun, clouds, mist, snow, ice halo and a subsun. Thank you, thank you, thank you beloved Creator for this otherworldly, amazing, magnificent creation. WOW, I’m in awe!

Space Weather featured one of Ivar’s photos on their home page February 1. The photo above was on a page with others taken on the same day. They say of the photos…

“Skiing photographer Ivar Matheson did everything right on Jan. 27th when he took the picture above. “I was at the Ãre ski resort in Sweden. It was a sunny day and the air was filled with ice crystals. This gave rise to an impressive display of luminous sun halos, sundogs, sub-sundogs, subsuns, upper and lower sun pillars and tangent arcs.” The complete collection is a must-see.”

‘Light beam’ photo by Thomas O’Brien

‘Light beam’ is my name for these amazing photographs. A second sun floats just above the tree tops beaming Light to earth. It looks like a being of light floating above and behind the trees. An amazing gift and wonderful display. Images taken in Aspen, Colorado January 3, 2009 by Thomas O’Brien.

Thomas says about the images, 

‘I had been seeing small sun reflections in the ground all day when riding the lifts last Sunday so i decided to hike around on the backside of the mountain to see if i could find a brighter one. it was incredibly hard to photograph, it was like i was shooting directly into 2 suns at once. getting a shot without lens flare was nearly impossible. I had seen much dimmer ones before but this one was incredible. ‘

Atmospheric Optics expert Les Cowley reports, “It is exactly like shooting into two suns at once because it is a subsun, a direct reflection of the sun by millions of ice crystals acting as mirrors. The crystals are flat plates drifting in the cold air. Subsuns can be blindingly bright, look for them while skiing or when flying.”

‘Frozen wave’ by Tony Travouillon, Anarctica

‘Frozen wave’ is my name for this amazing photo taken by scientist Tony Travouillon in Antarctica.  That little dark speck is a person… what an awesome sight. Thank you again beloved Creator for this awe inspiring sight. Many other images can be seen in a gallery on Travouillon’s website.

The weather certainly has been erratic lately. Has it seemed strange to you too?

Here is what the Weather Channel reports:

January 16, 2009 – record low temperatures were set in 13 states. Plus there’s a new record low for the state of Maine – Big Black River -50 degrees F. The  old record low is -48 degrees at Van Buren, Maine, January 19, 1925. For more on this see weather.com.

January 16, 2009 – Jeff Mielcarz, Road Crew Host weather blog… “Talk about a roller coaster ride! On Thursday January 15th, the low in Bismarck, ND was minus -44 degrees, while the high in Los Angeles, CA was 85. THAT’S A 129 DEGREE DIFFERENCE over 1,600 miles by car! At 10am eastern on Friday January 16th the temperature in Pensacola, FL is the same as it is in Fairbanks, AK at 31 degrees. Here’s the key though, when you factor in the wind … it FEELS ten degrees colder in Florida this morning. …In Alaska low temperature LAST Wednesday (January 7) was -46, while their high this PAST Wednesday (January 14) was 44. That’s a 90 degree swing in one week!

January 8, 2009 – Dr. Greg Forbes, Severe Weather Expert weather blog reports “heavy rains have ended in Western Washington, but massive river flooding continues…”

January 6, 2009 – Stu Ostro, Senior Meteorologist weather blog records broken, “From white to wet –  The 61.5″ total snow accumulation in Spokane in December was a record for any month, and there has been another 16.6″ during the first week of January; Seattle had ~14″ in December compared with an average of 2.5″; and 22″ fell in Portland where the average annual snowfall is 5.2″.

This is just in the USA. Weather worldwide is strange too.

My thoughts…

Weather can’t make up it’s mind… cold – warm – cold – frigid… humm is this a message? A sign? It is global warming? Or perhaps the next ice age?

Maybe it is about consciousness… what we focus on becomes our reality. Some folks believe one thing… some another. Now more then ever large groups of people are focusing their thoughts on global warming… or the other extreme massive cooling. Many people are fearful. Fear is simply an emotion… but a powerful one. Take an idea, internalize it and back it by strong emotion… and it manifests.

The Law of Manifestation states, “Suggestion is the generator behind all operations and manifestations in the material world, and these manifestations cannot happen until suggestion hits the subconscious mind and is ‘taken in’ by the subconscious mind. An act, objector event, begins with a mental impression of suggestion in the mind, impregnated by emotions until it is exteriorized; a normal function law is used in hypnotherapy, mental telepathic healing, destructive brainwashing cults and visualization.~’The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary’ by June G. Bletzer, Ph.D.

We are manifesting our beliefs… thoughts… desires… collectively. So a tug of war of sorts is occurring… as one group manifests global warming and another global cooling.

Imagine what our world could be like with a collective vision…  peace, balance, health, happiness, equality, and prosperity for everyone… all life. Amazing Indeed!
