<3 Fallen Gods Hunt

#Helena Stringer

Paris , Bistrot spring 2010 .

The Waikato river drifts its way through the heart of Hamilton city and provides a number of locations to quietly sit and ponder...

Exactly one year ago, I spent the night at this stunning overlook in eastern Switzerland. I remember standing there, under the calming beauty of the night sky and thinking about what the future might bring. Not in my wildest dreams did I imagine the shape the world would be in today.

 

What gives me hope, is the fact that all this beauty is still there and that the lockdown showed me what is really important in life: Good health and spending time with your family and a few good friends.

With a glorious sunset, my good lady took a few moments on this quiet beach to take in the view and reflect on a great few days...

“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” ~Anne Frank

 

Sometimes I feel folks focus far to much time and energy in the wrong directions. Sometimes the focus is on worry about the future, or sorrow about the past; things they have no control over.

 

If instead, one looks to the here and now and takes in the beauty that surrounds them - peace can be found.

 

To be happy is a choice and I am happy. Even with all the craziness of 2020, I have had a wonderful time. I’ve been able to see more of my crazy kiddos. I’ve been able to take a few more images than normal. I’ve been forced to think inside the box (quarantine). There is lots of beauty still left all around me everywhere I look. Sometimes it takes some solitude and moments to reflect to really see it. To shine a light on it.

I happened upon this woman as she was getting her

pre-marriage photos, as her photographer was changing lens I took this one shot while she appeared to be in deep thought on what was in the near future.

At the end of the day, when you have been boxing with other male opponents all day, you may sometimes loose a battle. At that point you need to retrieve and contemplate.
