Instead of waiting for happiness to flow
toward you, let it flow from you.

Thanks for views, faves and comments! ;-)
Apparently, I am easily amused spending countless hours thinking about lights and motion My mornings are spent blowing bubbles, waving my arms and lights around in the dark, and hoping for magic. I've mentioned that I am not one that feels like sitting and meditating does anything for me but the act of creating my photos puts me in a flow state. It is one of the times I can maintain mental focus for a prolonged period of time. What activities help you?
I was going to take a break from posting Iceland shots for a while in the hope that I would be back to shooting locally but the uninspiring conditions continue!
So here's another Iceland shot!
This was one of the last shots I took and a little detour heading back to Reykjavik, I took lots of shots here most of them zoomed in to capture the flow and textures.
Cottam Power Station. The River Trent was flowing fast...left to right...along with the late afternoon clouds shifting along on a stiff breeze. The long exposure helps recreate the sense of 'Flow' to my mind.
'I just float in my boat on my little stream,
the rain may pour, the birds may sing,
the sun will shine again and again,
some people I'll love,
some more than just friends,
a smile, a kiss, a laugh, a hug,
a love that's new,
someone to trust,
i can finally see what is special bout me,
i keep finding the joy no matter where I be.'

After posting a shot with Worthing pier in it yesterday I thought I would post another in totally different conditions.
A high tide sunset with waves coming in can be a tricky game sometimes along this beach as there are some steeply shelving banks of shingle to catch out the unknowing.
Here I was taking shots as I was heading towards the pier between the sets of Wooden groynes, the sun was now behind the bank of cloud but still giving me some lovely colour.
I did not want a long exposure to take away all the detail of the sea but just enough to capture the flow back from a receding wave, you have to be smart on the remote button at the right time.
Anther wet and windy day here , got a soaking on a walk first thing and looks like it will be wet around sunset time again not that a sunset looks likely again today.

I was just listening to Meshell NdegeOcello:
"Come smoke my herb
make your heart like the ocean, mind like the clear blue sky...
Just love, worry not about tomorrow be simple like the flowers... "
I increased the ISO to 1000 here to be able to keep the aperture at f/8 but get the quicker shutter speed as the water was really moving fast ... this allowed for more detail in the pretty flow at 1/4 second shutter speed.

Rising below the slopes of Mynydd y Drum in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons, the River Dulais is a flash flood river, which has been the driving force for over 400 years of industrial innovation.
The torrent flows down the Dulais valley for approximately 13 kilometres (8 miles), south-west through the villages of Seven Sisters and Crynant before cascading over the Aberdulais waterfall – the source of this image.
Here it joins the River Neath close to the tidal reaches near Tonna.
The gorge in which the river and waterfall now lie was formed about 20,000 years ago. As a glacier further up the valley melted, the resulting melt water slowly cut its way down through the 300-million-year-old rock. This can be seen on the west side of the gorge today.
The rock is Pennant sandstone, which is a very severely compressed bed of sand. Beneath it is a layer of coal, that has been gradually eroded by the flowing water allowing the rock above to collapse and form the Falls as we see them today.
In wet weather, and in winter, when the river is in full spate, it's a truly awesome - and noisy - spectacle. My image ‘Flow,’ tries to reflect that experience.

WANNABE WARMER WEDNESDAY #6
Can't believe I'm still here. LOL. My attention span leaves a lot to be desired. My favorite of all the summer blossoms are the water lily/lotus from the Chicago Botanic Garden. I could sit with them all day long because every time you turn around they're a little more open, a little more closed, lighted differently. The last couple of years had been hard to shoot them. 2020 brought closures from the pandemic and 2021 brought construction to my two favorite parts of the Garden. Here's to hoping that 2022 is going to be a better year!! ♥
