So I toodled on up to the Central Coast - about 90 minutes north of Sydney - on Friday to stay overnight - I had been wanting to go for a while now. I had it all planned - the weather was checked this time and it was going to be glorious on Saturday morning, the surf was huge - I was on a winner. Arrived and scoped out the beaches the night before and made my choice . Went to bed early, set the alarm....the alarm went off ....and I went back to sleep !!!!. Now as my fellow fine flickr early morning friends will tell you - you don't just need to be at your location 30 - 40 minutes before the sun rises , you need to be awake at least 15/20 minutes before also as you are in a dreamlike state and you need to get your wits in order . I woke up at 6.10 (sunrise 6.12) still half dreaming - ran out the door and in a flurry , as early flickr birds will also tell you, the time is ticking in the morning for those shots . I get in the car, think I cannot go to the place I had planned as by the time I would get there - it would be too bright. So I did the logical thing(???) and just drove - completely clueless now as to the area - just thinking I have 5 minutes to get somewhere. As I am driving I see a sign for a Surflifesaving club and just swerve off the road - I thought there must be a beach down here . Drove down, nobody there - walked down the sandy path and as I landed on the beach I rubbed my eyes - it was glorious. I had arrived in Beach heaven - NOBODY for miles apart from one lone swimmer in the distance. The waves, the sky - it was like a dream - so so beautiful. All I could think was Rosie, we're not in Bondi anymore...
Didgeridoo Dreamtime Inn
Mendocino, CA
05-01-22
This building was a bit run down and "lived in" but it has a lot of character and I took quite a bit of photos. Then I noticed there was a sign declaring the Inn was "Going Out of Business" the same day (my birthday) as I was photographing it, and they were selling furniture and knick knacks inside.
I didn't venture inside, but I felt sorry for the owners. Possibly the business was a victim of Covid or just never lived up to the "dream" promise.
Hopefully a new coat of paint, some trimming of the overgrowth, and some tender loving care and this once magnificent looking home will shine again, and the dream will return for someone.
Sculpture set in a bushland setting in the William Ricketts Sanctuary located on Mt Dandenong, Victoria, Australia.
The sharp focus of this flower contrasted with the softness of the other flowers and the bokeh made this a very dreamy image. Memories of summer come flooding back when I look at this .
Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia. It lies 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs.
Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara, the Aboriginal people of the area, known as Anangu. The area around the formation is home to an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Uluru and Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas, are the two major features of the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park.
Uluru is one of Australia's most recognisable natural landmarks. The sandstone formation stands 348 m (1,142 ft) high, rising 863 m (2,831 ft) above sea level with most of its bulk lying underground, and has a total perimeter of 9.4 km (5.8 mi).Both Uluru and the nearby Kata Tjuta formation have great cultural significance for the Aṉangu people, the traditional inhabitants of the area, who lead walking tours to inform visitors about the local flora and fauna, bush food and the Aboriginal dreamtime stories of the area.
Uluru is notable for appearing to change colour at different times of the day and year, most notably when it glows red at dawn and sunset.
Kata Tjuta, also called Mount Olga or the Olgas, lies 25 km (16 mi) west of Uluru. Special viewing areas with road access and parking have been constructed to give tourists the best views of both sites at dawn and dusk.
Soft background enhanced a dreamy feel to this beautiful blue butterfly. So many butterflies in Kefalonia. Magical
Very small unidentified flowers amongst the Lavender Cotton flowers in the background.

Happy Sunday

[...] The men of Ancient Time traveled the whole world singing; they sang rivers and mountain chains, salt pans and sand dunes. They went hunting, they ate, they made love, they danced, they killed: in every point of their tracks they left a trail of music.
They wrapped the whole world in a singing network; and finally, when they had sung the Earth, they felt tired. Again they felt the cold immobility of the centuries in their limbs. Some sank into the ground, where they were. Others crawled into the caves. Others still returned slowly to theirs
'Dimore Eterne', to the ancestral wells that had generated them.
Everyone returned 'inside'.

One of my own favorite drone shots so far.
PRINTS AVAILABLE in the Drone Photography album on my website store:
Traveling between Windorah and Birdsville you can stop at the amazing Dreamtime Serpent, one of three sculptures in the Diamantina Shire designed by members of the native Wangkangurru/ Yarluyandi tribe. The Dreamtime Serpent is a work of art representing a series of pathways travelled through Country to connect the river systems in the Channel Country of the Diamantina Shire. This hillside artwor k is created from locally sourced gravel and gibbers.
The tree has its own spirit, its own memories. Sometimes I feel as though trees wish to talk. Their leaves shed chatter, their branches gossip together. The tree bark however, holds in their wisdom.
Near Wilmington, East Sussex, UK.

We visited the "Dreamtime Village" again after our first visit in 2014. The building was in much worse shape with a lot of vandalism and water damage. Most of the building is inaccessible now and I'm guessing it will either fall down completely or be torn down eventually.
Does not want to be seen when manipulating us. Is hiding. Enjoys to create confusion and division. Interferes in our and perhaps your elections. Is helping with the funding of populist political parties through middlemen. Is directly profiting from the Brexit nonsense. He's the Bear. Waiting for his grand entry on to the world's stage as the true defender of occidental values - positively male, virile, patriotic, orthodox and undemocratic. The Bear dreams of yesterday. What do you dream of?
Memory of my future-or-awake in "Dreamtime"
There's an ancient Continent,
I've never been there in this life,
but a ribbon was woven,
long before i was born here, (germany)
from The Great Spirit of the Ancients,
He calls, and it sounds like,
come home.

(Rosie) English can never capture what ‘Dreaming’ or ‘Dreamtime’ is all about. The Dreaming and its stories are linked to the creation process and spiritual ancestors, and still around today.
Okay, so I cut and pasted this quote about The Dreamtime - it is the aboriginal understanding of the world and I have always loved the the expression and the thought behind it. Being a mischievous Easter bunny I of course put my name before the first part as English is my family name after all ...yes really ;).
Done at Bronte Beach this morning it was superquiet and I missed the sunrise however there was even greater magic I felt with his girl who looked like she was wearing a nightgown and reminded me of Wendy from Peter Pan and then the pool was so still.
I brought Ms. Leicalikethat along as Ms. Olympus E-m1 is with her biological family right now. I wondered how Ms. Leica would connect with the morning and the pool as I had an mis-guided idea that this was not her terrain in the mornings. Oh she delivered so beautifully - the lovely creamy tones and only she could have captured this scene in her special leicalikethat way.
Ms. Jen and Ms. Hariraj have informed me that Nik Software and most importantly Silver Efex are now free - go get 'em my fine flickr friends. Talk about the Easter Bunny delivering some of the best Ef'eggs' this year :).
Check out their wonderful work - and their b/w's here :
First Ms. Jen :

and now Ms. Hariraj :
How diaphanous the sun's veil,
one might think, how amber,
how feverish, but cold at the core,
swollen to term. A wave of shadow
ripples farewell, a fog
the mind can't dissipate, a sleep
the next pandemic sleeps, in a cocoon of light.
Travel farther to the sheered cliffs
of the occipital realm: phantom birds issue
from fissures, flit branch to branch, memory swallows,
flickers, swift, iridescent yellow flashes mid-flight in trans-
migration, an ebbing electrical storm, a vector Lady Die
is center of. Missionary, she doesn't bite,
but slips her needle in a vein with so little
intrigue, fey
when need be, so up to her usual
dominatrix capades:
who knows? Under her black velvet shroud,
teeming, secreting, stagnantly foul, her babies --
three hundred hatchlings a litter -- are testing
their papery wings,
passing upward, borne again and again
each malarial queen;
how she escapes
is a marvel of detection, truly, to behold, as is
to be held, lovingly,
for a few moments
in her six gentle arms.
