So you think you got it all figured out
All this money in the bank and [people] all about
Well, now, whatcha gonna do when your ship starts to sink?
Caught in a monstrous sea and you won't be able to think
Yeah, and it's there you'll learn what I know
That all of this world will fade
You gotta learn to let it all go
And flow like the river
Trip along the Gulf of St Lawrence coastline... Stopped at Riviere-au-Tonnerre for sunset, watched the ebb and flow from waves, enjoyed listening to the sound from the waves …
There was no cell signal driving from Sept-Iles to Havre-Saint-Pierre, few residents along the coastline, really felt remote…
There was an episode: we drove inside of the one-way unpaved road from the coastline, in aboriginal area, the car stuck in the muddy road… we even thought we stuck here for the rest of vacation… finally out of the mud, decided to return to the same road…
Another episode: the waves got stronger and stronger at sunset time, almost pulled me to the sea… quickly moved back to a big stone at the back, all went well …
Have a wonderful weekend!

“I believe in going with the flow. I don't believe in fighting against the flow. You ride on your river and you go with the tides and the flow. But it has to be your river, not someone else's. Everyone has their own river, and you don't need to swim,float,sail on their's, but you need to be in your own river and you need to go with it. And I don't believe in fighting the wind. You go and you fly with your wind. Let everyone else catch their own gusts of wind and let them fly with their own gusts of wind, and you go and you fly with yours.”
Quote ― C. JoyBell C.
Happy Weekend ;-)
So since the whole Covid thing happened I had to postpone my trip to Greece and I was looking for places within US that I could go without boarding on a plane. The Finger Lakes region in New York State stood out to me for its beautiful scenery and the variety of things that I could do. Lots of rivers flowing through mountains and hills so naturally there are a ton of waterfalls in the area. I took this photo as I was hiking up the gorge trail in Watkins Glen State Park. More photos from this hike to follow as there were some really amazing waterfalls along the way. Fortunately, due to corona virus, the trail wasn't too crowded so I felt closer to nature as I was following the path.

My I struggled with this one - not only capturing it but in the process in trying to keep the colours real and the flow smooth. Well I guess this is what I have come up with and from memory its pretty much how the morning looked. It was from the outing last week with Pixeloc at North Turimetta. Definitely had a fun morning and treated to a delight of a sky. Anyway... all feedback .. harsh as it may be ... is required.
(Daniel: Yep...got soaked from the backwash hitting a set of rocks behind me more than the front waves...Fun!)
Stability...I had two of the legs between rocks and I lent down pretty hard on it! Most of the shots where stable thankfully...Appreciate all the comments!
Its a single exposure using a Cokin GND8 for the sky. Thanks for looking as always.

WICKED GAME by CHRIS ISAAK
FIREWORKS IN MY MIND
I feel that I could lose myself
within the warm fold of your arms
the intensity you feel for me
ignites fireworks in my mind
within the recess of my heart
where past love left a void
there's a burning river running through
lighting fireworks in my mind
it's scorching everything I touch
and coursing through my veins
I close my eyes and try to breathe
but still see fireworks in my mind
I feel myself falling deep
in the garden of my dreams
this burning love; intense white heat
creates fireworks in my mind
I walk along my empty beach
and try to stem the flow
I don't want to feel this way
with fireworks in my mind
it feels too much; explosive love
it consumes me with it's madness
somehow you got beneath my skin
caused fireworks in my mind
I'm weakening now as you grow close
but I'm less when you're not here
the coldness that ached and broke my bones
is gone with fireworks in my mind
I need to choose; to do things right
but it's harder when you're here
you took my heart and made it yours
lit fireworks in my mind
If I could choose and have it all
I'd tell you not to go
don't make me choose between the moon and you
with fireworks in my mind

This ICM image was taken at the base of a small waterfall framed with these sandy colored rocks. There were a few splashes of the water as it tumbled over the rocks. I love the soft mood of this image.
