Rivage mystique

« L’incompréhensible semble bien nous faire signe du fond des paysages. C’est le noyau de l’expérience de la beauté du monde. » Alexandre Lacroix, philosophe

Ce paysage chaotique m’hypnotisait

Comme si je l’avais toujours connu,

Mais, pourtant, jamais vu.

Il était ni beau ou charmant,

Ni laid ou terrifiant

Plutôt terriblement inhumain,

Antérieur à la vie elle-même,

Dont on voyait des traces éparses

Accrochées aux rugosités des rochers.

Je pouvais le voir, le toucher, le ressentir sous mes pieds

Sentir l’air salin

Regarder danser des nuages improbables

Entendre les chants de la Terre

Jouer les harmoniques élémentaires.

Et pourtant, je ne trouvais pas les mots

Pour expliquer l’attirance étrange que ce paysage avait sur moi.

Un peu comme un savoir qui se cherche

Dans des origines impénétrables, lointaines et indicibles,

Dont nous portons des traces.

L’orage approchait, menaçant

Et le mystère m’enveloppa.

Patrice photographiste, Chroniques du Monde de Poësia

“The incomprehensible seems to beckon us from the background of the landscapes. It is the core of the experience of the beauty of the world” - Alexandre Lacroix, philosopher

This chaotic landscape hypnotized me

As if I had always known it,

But, yet, never seen.

It was neither beautiful or charming,

Neither ugly or terrifying

Rather terribly inhuman,

Anterior to life itself,

Of which we saw scattered traces

Clinging to the roughness of the rocks.

I could see it, touch it, feel it under my feet

Smell the salty air

Watch unlikely clouds dance

Hear the songs of the Earth

Play the elementary harmonics.

And yet I couldn't find the words

To explain the strange attraction that this landscape had on me.

A bit like a knowledge that seeks itself

In impenetrable, distant and unspeakable origins,

Of which we bear traces.

The storm was approaching, threatening

And mystery enveloped me.

Taken under my apple tree, the colours in the background are from the fallers which the blackbirds are slowly working their way through.

After several days of shooting with David Swindler, he kindly invited me to join his group out to White Pocket. WP has been at the top of my list for several years, so thanks to David I was able to strike that one off my list. That's Cody Wilson way off in the background, I happened to look up from my composition and noticed he was going to have to remove me from his photo if I didn't high tail it out of his shot. So I fired off a couple so that he would lend a sense of scale to the scene. Had a lot of fun shooting here but if you show up during the day its not nearly as impressive as dusk. All the textures start to pop out and the sandstone glows in the twilight. Had a great time and met some really nice people.

For a great photography adventure at the best times of the day or night, look no further than ActionPhotoTours.com, David is an award winning accomplished landscape photographer, and all around nice guy.

I haven't had a kalanchoe quite like this one. New blooms keep appearing daily. I like using them for macro shots and am having fun experimenting with washi paper backgrounds. I like the way the buds showed up in this pic.

Hello awesome Flickr People !!

Today is a yellow day at Color my World Daily and the theme at the fabulous *ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ Group, is white background.

So what is yellow, full of vitamins, goes great with gin & tonic and looks awesome on white background ? Lemon of course !!

I had this picture on my mind for quite some time now so when I heard the white background theme I was ready !

Well at least in my head, because capturing the picture that I actually like is surprisingly very time consuming (am I too obsessive ??? Am I a photography monster ?? I think we have something here.)… We all (yes, my family’s input is mandatory during the photo shoots !!) almost lost our minds with this one… Luckily we had gin & tonic for my husband and I and video games for my sons to calm down… So cheers my friends and I hope you like the result !

See you later my friends !!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr!!

Another from last year. The background is natural - just the early light falling on golden grass with the butterfly in my shadow and a tweak or two of the exposure.

Crazy Tuesday: #Water

A funny note! After taking pictures of puddles near my apartment and getting wet (it's finally raining today); I didn't like the pictures I took. Then I thought about some water drops on some paper, mirror, plastic, etc inside my house. I tried several times and it seems my mind wasn't quite awake yet. I put some water drops with a spray bottle on some iridescent paper and click. But I didn't like them either. Nah! I wiped them off with my hand and these drops remained diagonally and well...cute... here they are. 😊

Thank you so much for the visit and comments!

I really appreciate it!

The Golden Pavilion in Kyoto.

I was trying to take more atypical shots of this temple, instead of just taking the same shot everybody else did.

old bridge down by the mud (mud river) i have taken a lot of pictures from this bridge and now they have blocked it even for walking on. it is wildly warped and probably shouldn't be walked on.

I really like being at Lake Kochelsee.

It's located right at the foot of the Alps you can see in the background.

If you like to, you can walk completely around the lake and also visit some waterfalls on the other side of the lake.

My thanks on line tutor Matt Kloskowski for the lesson on creating one's own textures.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

All photos and textures used are my own. Background and trees are parts of ornaments photographed, manipulated and blended with real birds and a further textures.

Photographing signs is not the most original venture. In the background, a few lights from the skyscrapers in Frankfurt downtown can be seen. Just messing around.
