Sunny Mill

I wrote in the past about this precious commodity, time, something that we don’t have the ability to get back once it’s gone. Time tends to fly by and like a river it always flows forward, never backwards. Alas, this resource tends to be in a very limited supply, and I try to make the most of it, spending time with loved ones, family and friends, an activity which Covid made a tad more challenging for some.

 

At times, I find myself rushing around, but there is so much more to life than increasing speed. Sometimes it is best to slow down or just stop, slowly rediscovering things we thought we lost our passion for. Too many of us, unless you are a landscape gardener, are shut in our offices staring hours on end at monitor screens or attending endless Zoom meetings. I try and exercise outdoors whenever I can and the long exposure technique has this great quality of slowing things down allowing time to chat to other photographers or just watch the colours of sunset deepen.

 

“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time’, is like saying, I don’t want to” (L. Tzu).
