Urban sunset
You might think it's somewhere in the middle of the woods...no, these shots were taken in the city limits. It was a really cloudy day and by evening the clouds in the west had become thin. I was walking in the park near my house.
In fact, this is quite a rare case. The sun either blinds the eyes and the camera, or it simply does not exist. Here it was possible to observe the sun as if it were the moon on a full moon.
I was moving along the edge of a high hill and the city with houses was on the lower level. This circumstance allowed me to make these shots.

I'm glad to see you, too. I hope that I will sometimes appear with my photos. It turns out that not everyone is happy about my appearance and sometimes it's easier for me not to appear, but I don't want to lose touch with old friends. That's why I'm here. Thank you :)
Yes, I will definitely read about the changes, I hope they are pleasant))

Yes... I should have read the updates for the community first ... :)
Apparently this is one of the reasons why I was away for a long time.
My story is very simple. I started at Steemit and I have a lot of friends there. As a result of the Justin Sun scandal, the platform split. Some friends migrated to Hive, some stayed on Steemit, many were there and here. Nothing was stolen from me, but I understand those people who have lost a lot.
I myself stayed on two platforms (then I accidentally discovered Blurt, I sometimes make posts there until now. Checking my accounts, you probably saw that I use different photos and texts for my posts. The topics may be similar, but these are original posts everywhere. I consider it normal so far. Except on Blurt, I don't use bots, farms, and so on. I have only one account everywhere. I am honest in front of every platform and I have nothing to be ashamed of.
As a former psychologist, I see the causes of the conflict, but I also see that it is not resolved, but only worsens and escalates. As a result of this "war", ordinary honest users suffer. They have to make a choice... however, being on both platforms, they could benefit from their posts here and there. I understand you as a curator who wants to make his job easier. It's easier to cut off one hand altogether than to keep track of both. This is also your choice and I understand and respect it.
It so happened that on Steemit I had some public duties that I can't just leave. I will lose my honor and face. It would be like a betrayal and I can't go for it. I've lived long enough in this world to understand simple things.
On the other hand, I have friends on Hive and I can't just close the door either. By the way, an interesting observation, no one has ever reproached me on Steemit for continuing to post on Hive...
If you insist on your terms of posting in PL, I will be forced to publish my photos in other communities (but I will not be banned everywhere :). It may also happen that I will have to bring my tokens to the stock exchange and sell them (I will be able to buy a good lens at last).
I am a non-confrontational person and if there is pressure on me somewhere, I just leave this place. I like PL. Here, among others, there are good photographers with interesting photos. I know some of them and have learned a lot from them. And in some ways it's thanks to PL. It was nice talking to you and even though I didn't see OCD, it was nice to be among the hot photos.
I can't change... to be or not to be me in PL is up to you. As you say, so it will be.
Sorry for the verbosity, I was just trying to explain my position.
Don't be sorry. I have had to have this discussion many time with many people. If you check out those comments in the comment section you can see and read about the reasoning why.
In this case, i wouldn't compare it to children don't share the sandbox. It's more like the people in this sandbox resent the fact people are making money on Steem in the Sandbox they created. They created the sandbox and then bigger kids came in and stole their shovels and buckets and all their sand and the sandbox itself.
There would be no Hive if the devs that got robbed didn't create Steem and then get robbed. We would all still be over there. Since they got hijacked and robbed and started this place... i can see why they are bitter about anyone profiting over there.
On the other hand, i like you, did not lose any of my stake or get locked out of my account illegally. Like you, i didn't lose all my time and money. I was caught in the middle early on. I have always had a balanced view and never judged or faulted anyone who was trying to supplement income in as many ways and places as possible.
But, i can understand how those witnesses and devs that got locked out of their own money and accounts, especially the one's that built most of the infrastructure, might feel from anyone profiting over there. Many feel that by now, it is almost like supporting the thieves since they are still running Steem.
I never excluded anyone from the HotShots curation posts or excluded anyone from the community. I was not permitted to included in financial curation due to multi chain use for some, such as yourself.
I am not a confrontational person generally. This was a tough choice. I consider you a friend and would hate to see you not be here.
I do understand your loyalty to friends... and that is pretty much why i feel this executive decision is the right one for this community. We have many that are a bit too strict or heavy handed when dealing with 'abuse'... and they lack the compassion to discuss and reason together.
I am not so quick to label and identify abuse as such since more often than not a simple misunderstanding made correct is far better than just downvoting and getting into personal quibbles. But, i have recently been burned by 'newer' accounts that were just old scammers taking advantage of my kindness. It hurts my feelings when that happens.
I am here for photography, art, friends, and fun... and my curation duties take the fun out of being here for me. I am having the similar commitments and public duties as you here on HIVE... so i understand what you mean. Go count how many personal posts i have made on my own account in the last year... then go count the community curation posts on my blog.
I made the rule change post 14 days ago. I am still going to give it a month or two before action happens. I wanted to give everyone more than enough time to really think things over. If you haven't yet, please read the comments and see the other conversations i had in that comment section. You can here a healthy discussion back and forth between myself and others that are in similar situation to you.
I have no hard feelings or ill-will towards anyone except those that would scam, steal, deceive, and whatnot... but that's obvious.
I hope we can discuss more if my response wasn't too verbose for you! hahaha
Thanks for the answer, the details on the substance of the question are not superfluous.
I understand the people who created the sandbox. They got injured (sorry, I'm talking like a former psychotherapist right now, you know that there are no former "scouts":) and now they live with post-traumatic syndrome. The forces and funds that they spend on fighting could go to the development of the project. In their struggle, I see an attempt to change the past through the present... this is at least not possible, I will say more roughly, it's just stupid. But it matters to their ego. I understand
Yes, I understand you. I appreciate your friendship and your attitude towards me. There are such friends on every platform and that's why I'm on every one of them too. There are good people everywhere and therefore I don't want to lose touch with them.
On the other hand, I understand that you are in a team and the team has its own rules. Whether they are good or bad, but working in a team you have to fulfill them. I'm familiar with that. If you decide to exclude me from PL, I will accept it without resentment. If I can stay a part of PL, I will rpad it. Now all my free time is taken up by photography and I am happy to share the results of this hobby.
I don't think my decision can change anytime soon. Something too important has to happen for that. I have already said that I have obligations like you and I cannot refuse to fulfill them. I would not give my hand to such a person, there are principles in life that must be fulfilled.
Yesterday I read all the comments before writing my answer. Perhaps there are more of them now. Talking to you is enough for me. Here I am more than frank. We normally discuss the situation. Under your post, there will surely be people who will start attacking, letting their cockroaches out of their heads, and so on :) It's not so constructive.
Apparently I made a mistake when I didn't change my nickname with the advent of Hive :) There wouldn't be any questions right now. Two different blogs on different platforms, no violations :)
Until recently, I only heard that the two platforms were at war and just waited for this madness to end. The war of big wallets... it would be better to compete, whose platform is more effective, come up with innovative projects - this is a normal healthy competition useful for both participants. I understand and accept such forms of struggle. This is the way of development. And to pursue ordinary users...
How do their actions differ from Justin's? Yes, they do not take tokens directly from wallets, but without allowing them to earn, in fact, they do the same thing, but in a different form. I'm sorry, but that's how I perceive it. At the same time, I perfectly understand their motives...but I can't accept them. PTSD is a pretty stable thing...I do not know how much time should pass...
I'm afraid my comment won't please the guys from above, but I honestly said what I think about it. Honesty and openness are also my principles, although in many situations they harm me.
By the way, I do not rule out that if the trend of war continues, then it may come to forcibly closing the accounts of unwanted users... and the worst thing is that those who are not affected by it will support and squeal with delight... I hope it won't come to that...
I will write a more thoughtful response when i have some time. There is no capability here of shutting down people's accounts or freezing people's assets and then removing their access to those assets or accounts. However, their recourse would be to disagree with reward payouts and just downvote to adjust rewards.
Some of the bigs will see people on both chains and use their stake here to remove votes here... so that the profit will only be available there. If they feel being over there is supportive of that ecosystem and they want to adjust rewards here... i can't change their opinions or actions.
I've tried my best to be neutral as far as i can be. It's all cause and effect... and unfortunately, many dealing with the effects had nothing to do with the cause. It's a complex set of issues, in my opinion, and there is a spectrum and strata to where people fall into this ordeal.
I thank you for your civil discourse and response.
For some reason, Hive works erratically for me. I couldn't send a reply in any way and made several attempts. Now I see that my answer has been duplicated several times and I can't delete the extra answers...
When we position the blockchain as a free system that does not have a master... it turns out that we are lying. The blockchain is managed by major players. But if they are investors, I can understand them, they care about their investments and profits. Unfortunately, no one cares about ordinary users.
However, everything is like in life, nothing new :-)
If these players consider me an enemy and start cutting my posts, I will take a very simple step, withdraw all my money and close my account. I'm not in the habit of knocking on a closed door. Although I don't want to do it. Time will show.
Thank you for the frank conversation. I appreciate it.
