Nature often provides us with an opportunity of contemplating, but first, we have to stop and give it some attention. Moreover, when we do just that, we can unfold a full spectrum of our senses. Then, our creativity is building a picture that uses not only the eyesight but also all other senses. This, in turn, helps encapsulate the living spectacle into a still frame.

Sunset on Potomac River, Virginia USA
posted as it is, no PS
Some nice light just before work the other morning, so snapped this bench in the local park.
Warmed the whole image and added some extra lens flare using GIMP.

Doing some weekend shopping and see less and less Genus. Everything is LeLutka. I have 3 Lelutka heads, but can't get my look with Lelutka. I know the animations are strong with Lelutka, but struggle trying to let go. I always wonder if one day I will log on and can't buy anything :( Designers please don't forget us Genus lovers. Shout out to the ones that keep us beautiful!
Visitors at a retrospective of Karel Appel at the Gemeente Museum, Den Haag / modern art museum in The Hague. Karel Appel (1921-2006) was a Dutch painter, sculptor, and poet. His paintings are very large, colorful and quite impressive.

We decided to rest in this abundantly treed section of the Richmond Fen. Spring flooding of the Jock River allowed us to penetrate this silver maple forest.
...on a Friday. Always on the busiest mornings come the brightest sunrises. :) Seeing more spider webs...wondering how many spiders have landed on us when we didn't know it...now there's a thought! :D
Utah is certainly the state of rugged beauty, outdoor activities, incredible geological wonders and Old West way of life. From adventurous Moab with its national treasures – the Arches National Park and the Canyonlands National Park, to the picturesque Rocky Mountain Basin. I love Utah!
Sometimes we need a break, alone, and let our heart accept what our mind already knows...
Cleveland Street, Causeway Bay. 2012.

「 假如你問我現在充滿罪惡的世界, 真可以變好嗎?
我的答案是, 你先問你自己可以變好嗎?
假如你的壞者都可以變好, 世界沒有任何的壞不可以變好; 因為壞的種類雖不同, 壞之為壞, 總是一樣的。
假如你問我, 你自己可以變好嗎? 我仍可與你以答覆,
答覆是: 你可以變好的。
你問你可否變好時, 你是希望你好, 怕你自己终不會好。
你發生這問題時, 你已在取好捨壞了。」
《唐君毅 • 人生之體驗 • 說世界之變好》

Taken a few years back. One shot with the tracker for the milky way and one for the silhouette. Still one of my favourites!
In the park opposite the La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona this man sits alone contemplating what to listen too.
"I can't tell you what art does and how it does it, but I know that art has often judged the judges, pleaded revenge to the innocent and shown to the future what the past has suffered, so that it has never been forgotten" (John Berger)
