Find an isolated corner on Ding Bay, under the overhanging coastal trees, in one of the caves or amongst the fascinating pancake rocks, or just lie on the pristine fine sand in the sunshine and you may just discover you have the whole place to yourselves. Orca might also come in close for a look, but really, is there any more desirable beach in the world?

Counterbalanced rocks in my garden today ...
Spring is well under way so I decided to not put off preparing my vegetable plot any longer, though I did get a little sidetracked sometimes :-)

The motif of the new garden is the Noh play "Hagoromo."
Noh is one of Japan’s traditional types of theater with more than 600 years of history.
In the story, a fisherman named Hakuryō finds a celestial robe (hagoromo) on the shore. He intends to keep it as a family heirloom, but the celestial maiden laments her inability to return to the celestial realm without her robe. Moved by her sorrow, Hakuryō sympathizes and agrees to return the robe in exchange for witnessing her celestial dance. Although the celestial maiden initially hesitates, fearing Hakuryō's doubt, she eventually returns to the heavens after performing her graceful dance, leaving behind blessings upon the land.
The garden's design draws inspiration from traditional Japanese paintings, aiming to represent two-dimensional elements in a three-dimensional space. It features representations of white clouds and waves, symbolizing the celestial realm and the waterside, respectively.
As I repeatedly reconstruct the garden to align with my vision, I sometimes doubt whether it truly conveys the warmth I intend. In moments of uncertainty, I find solace in the unwavering support and trust of AKI69, whose presence has been instrumental in the realization of this project. The beauty of the architecture, plants, and creatures within the garden constantly inspires and encourages me.
May this new garden become a testament to beauty, enriching your soul with its presence.
Looking forward to the enchanting presence of celestial beings in this garden where the worlds of the sea and sky intertwine without doubt.

新庭のモチーフは能楽「羽衣」です。
漁師の伯陵が浜辺で天女の羽衣を見つけ、家宝にしようと手に取りますが、天女が羽衣が無ければ月の世界（天界）へ帰れない事を嘆き悲しむ様に白陵は同情し羽衣を返す代わりに月の舞（天界の舞）を見せて欲しいと願います。天女は羽衣がなければ舞えないので先にお返し下さいと言いますが、白陵は羽衣を返せば天女は舞を踊らず、すぐに帰ってしまうのではないかと疑います。天女はそれは人間が持つ疑いで天界には偽りは無しと語り、白陵は天女を信じ羽衣を返します。天女は鳳凰の如く国土に瑞兆を降ら踊りながら天に帰っていくシンプルながら気高いストーリーと美しい舞が特徴の能楽です。
庭の構成は、立体を平面で表現し続けた日本の絵画から着想を得て、白雲と白波を製作し月の世界と水辺の階層表現としました。
自分は何度も庭の基本を組み、より目指す庭に近くなるようオブジェクトや構成を変えて組み直し完成を目指す中、庭の持つ温度が伝わるのかを己を怪しむ自分がいるのも確かです。
不信の時に、もしかしたらあの人ならば伝わるかも知れないと願い確固たる至心の存在AKI69に感謝と信頼を。貴方の存在なしでは完成まで至らなかった、美しい建築や植物達、愛らしい姿を見るたびに勇気を与えられ満ちていく。
庭に来てくれた方々の中へ新庭が美しさの塵となって降り積もっていく事を願う。
疑心なき月の世界、白陵が生きた海が空と交わる庭に麗しき天人天女の皆々様が現れることを楽しみにしています。
I couldn't find a decent description of this spot, but it is located in the Truso valley in Georgia, and earlier I posted a picture of that scenic valley (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49212632131/in/datepo...) where we stayed the night and enjoyed the spectacular setting of this Caucasion mountainscape.
What you see here are travertines, a sort of terraces formed by local springs, that contain a lot of minerals. The most famous terraces I know can be found in Turkey (Pamukkale).
The ones here are mostly orange and white, and if you look closely you can see a continuous film of water flowing over the rocks, depositing more material.
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
As many I strolled around during the project "The Quiet Space" at Kraftwerk Berlin. Equipped with my little (quiet) Contax T and a Ilford Delta 3200 @800, developed in HC-110

En la mía última fotográfica nocturna gesta por los agrestes y rústicos campos de La Mancha, en compañía de mis buenos maeses Antonio e Isidro, fuimos a dar nada menos que con "el increíble árbol del rulo".
El cielo lucía encapotado, ofreciendo, mayormente, un aspecto insulso; mas hete aquí que hubo un momento en que despejose un tanto, permitiéndonos ver las estrellas y ofreciendo, todo él, un aspecto con ricas y curiosas gradaciones y matices, tal y como ese misterioso resplandor verdoso, asemejando una portentosa aurora boreal en mitad de los campos manchegos, era; o quizás tratárase de fuegos fatuos procedentes de algún presumido y coqueto espíritu que, en el suyo atormentado vagar por el terrenal mundo, y en un arrebato de coquetería sin parangón en el mundo del más allá, pretendiese captar nuestra atención y ansiara un retrato...👻 En todo caso, sea lo que fuere, ahí quedó plasmado para la posteridad 😉
-English:
On my last night photographic outing through the wild and rustic countryside of La Mancha in the company of my two friends and fellow photographers Antonio and Isidro, we found "The Incredible Stone Roller Tree".
The sky was mainly overcast, offering a dull look, but there was a moment when it cleared a little, letting us see some stars, offering then a look with some rich and intriguing gradations and shades, like that mysterious green glow resembling a kind of amazing northern lights in the middle of the fields of La Mancha, or perhaps it may be the will-o'-the-wisp of a presumptuous and flirtatious ghost that, in his tormented wanderings through the earthly world and iin an outburnst of narcissism without parallel in the far beyond, tried to capture our attention yearning for a portrait ... 👻 In any case, whatever it was, here it is photographed for posterity 😉

Als wir unser Haus gekauft haben, ein altes Bauershaus, fand ich dies auf dem Dachboden.
When we bought our house, an old farmhouse, I found this in the attic.
Quand nous avons acheté notre maison, une ancienne ferme, j'ai trouvé ça dans le grenier.
i found this drift last night while walking the beach,.i walked to take a shot at it, a girl ran and started playing with it. she was at it for ages so i gave up my turn lol.
tonight walking, there it is again, pointed my camera and just as i was about to shoot, this kid decided not to wait for his turn lol.
It was his find too :D
Let's draw a line between us
Paint a map back to the start
Leaving footprints to remind us

Ich finde es immer etwas gruselig, sich in das Innere von verlassenen Objekten zu wagen. Obwohl das Haus seit Jahren verfällt, finden sich oft verstörende Anzeichen von Privatheit, sei es die völlig verdorrte Blume in der Tischvase, eine aufgeschlagene Zeitschrift oder das Kissen auf dem Kinderbett. Wer hat hier gelebt? Was hat sich hier ereignet? Warum wurde das Haus verlasssen? - all dies sind Fagen, die sich unweigerlich stellen. Ich hoffe, dass die kleine BIlderserie die widersprüchlichen Empfindngen zwischen der Faszination der Morbidität und den Schuldgefühlen des Eindringlings ein wenig transportieren kann.
