A precious Russian Easter egg, a broken baby carriage, a scrap-yard in the rain. Whatever do these items share in common? I probably don't have a definitive answer today. Freeman Patterson suggests in his photography writings that our subconscious steps out a few years ahead of our conscious reality, so any symbolism that slips into our current work might be deciphered 3-5 years down the road. I'll leave the viewer to determine their patience level.
I should mention the baby carriage was missing during a revisit, the Dunmore junk yard is forever erratic, and the decorate egg is sublime. Perhaps one day I'll look back and reiterate the photographic arts are a personalized magical arena and tool for understanding the place where we're standing, the life we've embraced, and the conflicts and struggles we endure. One can add a thirst for dangling hidden visual treasures and on occasion……Easter eggs. Did I mention chocolate~
Wishing all my Flickr friends a beautiful week!

Great seeing good friends at the Inlet under the Super Moon.... we kept listening for music....??? It was fun shooting the lighthouse and the moon at once! A special thanks to Rob who helped me with the timing to grab the beam!

I remember this well. 2 years ago
when this photo was taken Mickey
had eaten a dead/rotting monster !
And being a young bean brain puppy
he enthusiastically wanted to share;-)
I was laughing so hard it was quite a
challenge taking this handheld photo.
4 seconds later he's chasing monkeys.
Thank You.

...I love lighthouses. I love what they symbolize...a guiding light during a storm, perhaps a place of refuge. Be a lighthouse for your friends...and though they may move on to another lighthouse, they'll know you will always be there.
...here's Mariah Carey, and ~~~ I’ll Be There ~~~
...I had every intention of catching up on commenting this weekend. Then I caught a bug from one of my students. My aches have aches, and I hurt in places I didn't know were supposed to hurt. I've been doing a lot of dozing this weekend, though not much sleep last night...lolol. I hope you're having a wonderful day, my friends. :~}

They're always there, from dusk till dawn, daylight or night, sun, snow or rain, landing lights for an integral part of a runways guidance equipment.
These ones were captured on a wintery evening during the blue hour, when the sun had already dissapeared behind the horizon.
.....A star shone out so very bright,
Not just a little, simple one,
But one so special in our sight,
A new life had begun.
A star shone out so very clear,
Hung way up in a cloudless sky,
Over a stable, where a dear
Babe, heard a lullaby.
A star shone out so very bold,
Showing where this child was laid,
With a halo of the purist gold
Around his head, displayed.
A star shone out so very fine,
Leading us all to worship him,
One small human, pure and divine,
Our cup's full to the brim.
A star shone out so very great,
Beaming down on that Christmas birth,
And bands of angels did cantillate,
Praising God across our earth.

An angelic statue, immersed in darkness, gestures towards a sliver of light, an enduring reminder that hope and wisdom can guide us through these challenging times of darkness in the world. Post processed from an image taken in a cemetery.
taken in the underground parking garage at mercat de l'olivar in palma de mallorca, this photograph captures the sharp glow of red LED arrows, leading the way through the dimly lit concrete maze. the blur of distant lights contrasts with the precision of the foreground, creating a mesmerizing depth of field that draws the eye along the path. it's a visual representation of direction and focus amidst the obscurity, symbolizing the clarity found within chaos.

Es curioso cómo surge una fotografía. Estaba haciendo unas tomas de prueba del faro. En menos de una hora tendría lugar la puesta de sol y quería tener al menos dos encuadres preparados para cuando fuese de noche. De repente, aparece una pareja paseando. La chica, al verme con la cámara en el trípode, se paró, me miró y le dijo a su compañero:
- ¡No podemos pasar, están sacando una foto del faro!
- ¡Claro qué podemos! ¡faltaría más! – respondió él.
Ante aquellos mensajes contradictorios, les respondí:
- ¡Estoy haciendo una foto pero, si tienen que pasar, háganlo!
El chico me miró con indiferencia, tiró del brazo de su acompañante y se colocó con ella junto al faro durante un rato, a sabiendas de que estaban en medio de la imagen.
Lejos de enfadarme, aproveché la circunstancia, recompuse y tomé esta foto.
¡Si la vida te da limones, haz limonada!
Funny how a picture emerges. I was doing some test shots of the lighthouse. In less than an hour the sunset would take place and wanted to have at least two frames prepared when overnight. Suddenly, a couple strolling appears. The girl saw me with the camera on tripod, stopped, looked at me and said to his companion:
- We can not pass, they are taking a picture of the lighthouse!
- Of course we do! Of course! - He replied.
Given those conflicting messages, I replied:
- I'm taking a picture but if you have to go, do it!
The boy looked at me with indifference, pull his companion's arm and stood beside her at the lighthouse for a while, knowing they were in the middle of the image.
Far from being angry, took the circumstance, I recomposed and took this photo.
If life gives you lemons, make lemonade!
Another view of the angel figurine that I brought back with me after my brother's funeral.
I think I might also use this one for the 52 in 2016 challenge - #52 Statue.
If you remember all of the lake shots I've recently posted; well this church is out by the lake. This past weekend I was hoping to get some more sunset shots but the sunset was a flop. As I was taking shots I was shocked to see the blue colors I was getting in my shots because it was not what I was seeing. Thank you filters and style setting!
Felt an odd tug yesterday morning to drop everything and head off to a nearby cemetery. Nothing weird about this really, I do it all the time. The oddness I suppose had to do with coming to this particular cemetery and on a bright, sunny day (a condition I usually avoid for this type of work). I intended to take photos, but perhaps there was more to this visit than that. I'm never really sure what drives things like this, but I have learned to heed my inner voice. I wandered about as usual, stopping at random points, taking photos here and there, and often just pausing to take in the environment and the crispness of an autumn morning. I find this approach works well for me. If I try to muscle through, bent solely on photography, both the image quality and the overall experience suffer. Everything in balance, that's what works best for me. I eventually found myself kneeling before this tiny figurine. So small that I could not get low enough to see the downturned face. I pulled out the smartphone (the camera I have found is indispensable for close focus work) and just aimed it blindly and cocked off a couple of frames. It was only later when I pulled up the images on computer that I could really appreciate this scene. Despite the randomness of my arrival, the timing was perfect to create the graceful swoosh of sunlight across the face. And somehow only the face itself was in focus while the eyes seemed to gaze directly at me. Once again I had somehow divined the perfect place to be at just the right moment, in this case a six inch tall figurine amid a 25 acre burial ground. Like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.

A bold illustration of the talents of Eric Gill, with the illustration and typeface shown to effect in this page from the French design magazine 'Arts & Metiers Graphiques'. Gill's figure appears to be turning his back on industry and is following the guiding light of what would imagine is art and religion.

Previously I gave this an erroneous name. View across River Humber towards Grimsby. Since I took this photo I have been told that it is still an active light, though I was sceptical.

Ever imagined a lost sailor upon the seas, the choppy winds, the sea at its boisterous best, all drear and gloom around? Ever wondered what the light from the lighthouse would mean to the lost sailor? And read John 8:12... "I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life."
Tangasseri Point Lighthouse station, Quilon/ Kollam (08 °52.7’ N 76°34.0’ E)
The British East India Co had factories at Tellicherry & Anjengo and other interests along the coast. To assist their fleet they raised a column at this site during the mid 19th century and placed on it an oil lamp. The present Tangasseri Point Lighthouse tower was established in 1902. This tower (42m above MSL) has a brick masonry murette (Red and White diagonal stripes) with wooden lining inside. The present light source is a 230V 400 W metal halide lamp (which flashes White thrice every 15 seconds having a range of 20 nautical miles) was put in to operation on 15th May 1994.
