I was on top of a hill trying in vain to capture a sunset, but the lens flare was intense, so in a last minute decision, I started to wander around looking for a creative solution. I think I found one in this shot!
La noche se desgrana alrededor, con sus luces infinitas titilando en un espacio de oscuros pensamientos. Luces de faros en movimiento, plenamente convencidos de que llegarán a su destino, se funden y se atraviesan, deshojan la margarita de sus últimos sueños.
Lánguida y vaporosa, la melancolía resiste a otros sentimientos, hace que todo se encuentre con ella en la esquina de la oscuridad.
Huele a sentencia final, pero también a nostalgia, a ese aroma que tienen los deseos de nunca jamás... Sin embargo la noche siempre nos conmueve, nos vuelve hacia otro lado la mirada. Ella es todo lo que nos sobra y nos falta.
Mirar los últimos faros deambular por el rio de las calles, pendientes del hilo de su propia luz, conlleva frialdad, la aventura de atreverse a meter la mano en las entrañas y remover los recuerdos: las perfectas tardes en que nada pasaba y el tiempo dormía al borde del alero del tejado, donde sonaba mustia una cigarra. También aquello que tiene que ver con la soledad... Aquella tarde de agobiante calor, sin más techo que la sombra de una parra, solemne, plomiza, esperando el autobús... Aquel pájaro que calló fulminado por el calor en pleno vuelo y quedó allí, inerme, en medio de la calle, mientras todos callaban ausentes, heridos por su definitivo destino.
Los recuerdos le asaltaban en oleadas, callados tanto tiempo en el alma, sin saber qué había hecho hasta ese momento para sentirse inmensamente perdido nada más llegar...
¿Cómo había recalado allí? ¿Con qué propósito dejaba correr al tiempo tras la estela de una nube de la que no sabía nada? ¿Qué hacía en esa extraña ciudad que le oprimía el corazón por ajena, por imposible?
Un grito, una sirena, el silencio, luego la lluvia que deshace en neblina el horizonte de luces, casi hasta el infinito.
La imagen de Celia, dormida a miles de kilómetros, extrañándole triste, promueve el vacío torbellino que le urge por dentro; sin poder evitar arrepentirse del viaje, sin saber aún que la decisión sea acertada, quisiera deshacer el camino andado en un segundo, como si nada hubiera acontecido. ¿Para qué...?
Para continuar el lento transcurrir de los dias con el corazón agazapado de miedos...

This was our last night on the ship as we were steaming NW directly toward the Florida Coast, and the sunset in the west was directly ahead of the bow. Almost as if the captain pointed the ship directly at the setting sun! A magical sunset at sea developed. Magnificent! And we were headed straight at it! Was pretty windy, but absolutely incredible for the dozen or so of us out on the bow witnessing this. A truly awesome sea-sunset. Spectacular! Thank you for looking.

"Split Decision" - Eric Clapton/Steve Winwood (2010)
Right before the run starts and right after the stretch completes is the perfect time to figure out what sort of music you are going to listen to while you run. I am wondering what the final decision was.

We might get a few more blooms, but they are almost done for the year. The photo was a spur of the moment decision on a day that wasn't too windy and also not too contrasty -- for once.

Actually it was very easy, the Cleric's Cure at 5% it had to be. A fabulous ale which greeted the palate like a long lost friend, and went down a treat - just what the good cleric would have ordered!
A break from the decorating yesterday. It was a lovely start to the day we decided as the weather was good to take a trip into Worthing to get some bits and have a nice long walk along the promenade that might involve coffee.
The sky was looking good with lots of fluffy clouds floating about, there was me thinking this looks promising lets do sunset.
And then the cloud thickened wall to wall cloud thick as can be, I thought that`s, it write off any thoughts of a sunset. I kept an eye out to the South West all afternoon, then I spotted some bright patches around 3.45, knowing sunset was at 4.15 a decision had to be made there and then.
Go for it, I live about a seven minute drive from this spot, by the time I parked up crossed the Coast road and sorted of sprinted down the loose shingle to this spot I was able to fumble about put camera on tripod in a flash and get this first shot, phew, the photography gods were smiling at me as the tide dropped and clouds cleared even more to leave a gorgeous warm glow in the sky and on the wet sand, so yes there will be more to come, glad I made that decision.

Candid street portrait taken in Glasgow, Scotland. In the 'world food' area of a street market at the Merchant City Fair there are clearly some decisions to be made. You can actually see how close I am by the reflection in her heart shaped sunglasses. Her sunglasses, earrings and the skeletons on her dress caught my eye in this colourful scene which you can enjoy full screen by pressing 'L'.
It's your decision, it's your decision...

This hawk paused atop my grill to decide if it was safe to take its prey from down on my patio, eventually the answer was "yes" ...

Holiday tree decorations laid out for tree our Holiday tree trimming. Just a few of our hundred or so of potential decorations for our holiday tree. The grandkids still like to "help" trim our tree so we leave a significant number for them to do so.

Step inside into the light or succumb to the darkness. Decisions can be huge. During youth you're owned by your future, when you get old you become a slave to your past. It's all in making good choices.

I have two almost identical pictures from this angle, the other one taken just about two steps further to the right and I was wondering which one to post. (It took me a while.)
In the end I decided to show this one because the architecture/angles seemed to be more correct.
Well, It won't be the last picture of this castle.
Speculating on the Blue
Flaka Haliti
2015
Sand, Metal, Light
56th Venice Biennale, Kosovo Pavilion
«Speculating on the Blue is a site specific installation conceived by Flaka Haliti for the Kosovo Pavilion at the Biennale Arte. With this work she addresses the topos of borders that are not only part of her personal history but also our everyday global reality. The artist specifically examines the features of the borderland, often deserted and seemingly decaying within a short period of time. Barriers are manmade manifestations of political decisions made about territories, which are often drawn with little regard for natural and ethnical boundaries. Haliti aims at de-militarizing and de-familiarizing the aesthetic regime that is embodied by physical borders through the creation of a counter image. In doing so she transforms the former into a sign of optimism. Her approach is one of recontextualizing global politics through disconnection from its regime of appearance. The metaphor of the horizon, simultaneously emblem of possibility and enigma of our limitations is woven into the fabric of our past and present.
By drawing on the universal meaning of this metaphor, the artist removes the image economy of the horizon from any specific spatial-temporal context and speculates on its validity as an eternal truth.»
One from last year when the Kingfishers were showing very well.
The 2 juveniles are both trying to get the fish, in the end though the male flew off with it.
The juveniles have much duller red feet and, for a time, the white aiming point on their bills.
Yes, no, maybe… oh what to do? For when you can’t make up your mind, just roll the dice.
I’m still learning how to do text on 3D prints and thought I’d try debossing some text below the surface on the 6 surfaces of dice. They came out OK the 2nd try, but they were all black & you couldn’t see the text well, so I used some silver colored wax (Rub-N-Buff) on my finger to highlight all the texture on the surface making the text pop. Bingo! lol.. That’s it. Hope you enjoy. HMM!!
