Vineyards and Orchards. It used to be almost all fruit orchards in the Okanagan Valleyhere in BC but during the past 20 or more years the vineyards have been growing in numbers and size. Sometimes uncultivated land is developed for these new vineyards but increasingly it is orchard land that is being used to grow grapes. Rip out the fruit trees, throw in the grape vines....easy-peasy!
No one has offered a better diagnosis of unhappiness and frustration than Frank Sheed. “Unhappiness,” he said, “is always unused or ill-used spiritual energy; and man has within himself so many energies made for God, that, lacking God, these energies cannot be satisfied, and can only turn in upon man and rend him.”3 He further said, “For fullness of being, man must have a knowledge of and a co-operation with that which maintains him in existence, that which is the very condition of his be-ing at all . . . There is an abyss of nothingness at the very heart of our being, and we had better counter it by the fullest possible use of our kinship with the Infinite, who is also at the very heart of our being.”4 Our pilgrimage is therefore neither eastwards nor westwards, but inwards; and this is what I call moving beyond East and West.

This is a photo of the intense colours of sunset photographed through some trees while intentionally moving the camera. I love how the diffuse darker toned shapes suggest a pareidolia narrative - a scene of a heroic military commander such as Alexander the Great rallying his army during battle. The composition of the image is divided in half by a balanced light/dark polarity or dualism.
