No need to imagine
'Cause I know it's true
They say "all good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you...

Noctilucent clouds (night-shining clouds) ... or for the geeks - Polar Mesospheric Clouds (PMCs).

There are more mushrooms coming, but I thought I'd break it up with a vista of Blanca :)
Today I got my almost forgotten Lensbaby lens out and had fun playing with it.
The manual focus is really tough, especially with moving subjects, but the colors are wonderful and when you nail the focus, it's such a magical look.
Mountains rise, they kiss the skies
Tears fall down, the angels cry
Rivers flow into the sea
I'll just float as it carries me
The heavens are near
The water is clear
I'm going
Down waterfalls, down waterfalls
Into the unknown
Down waterfalls, down waterfalls
I'll go with the flow
I'm carried away
By the waves
On top of the waves
Down waterfalls, down waterfalls
I'll go with the flow
Paradise within my reach
Golden shores and a perfect beach
Ocean tides will move endlessly
Pushing me forward, I'll be into the sea
The heavens are near
The water is clear
Every time I come here
I feel like I am passing
Right through Heaven’s Door
What grace has been given me
To feel you right by my side
I can still come back
Every time I feel like I am dying inside
Change is inevitable
But sometimes your soul needs
To be reminded of constancy
The rhythms of your heart
Beating with the memories of history
Open the door to Eden
Remember what gave you that feeling
Of walking the hills with the Angels
The grass soft beneath your feet

I was so pleased to be back in my favourite churchyard again at Glynde in East Sussex, UK, when I visited with my camera on this warm October day. It was turning into a late Autumn, the leaves still clinging onto the trees. The soft light cast a gentle atmosphere over the churchyard, and I thought that a black and white shot would enhance the feeling of history standing still for a little while. Nothing seemed to have changed much here for many years, or for as long as I have known it, and I just wanted to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere for a while.
I have paired this image and poem with Bob Dylan’s original, haunting ‘Knocking On Heaven’s Door’, as it seemed a perfect match to me.
And if you would like to see more of my imagery and poetry, have a look at my website:
The Temple of Heaven is located in southern Beijing. It is included in the UNESCO world heritage list in 1998. With an area of 2.7 million square meters, it is the largest of its kind in the country. Built in 1420, the 18th year of the reign of Ming Emperor Yongle, the temple was where emperors went to worship heaven for good harvests.

Much like the Atlantic, the Alps have my heart. Not just for the skiing and trekking, but for the sheer serenity the scenery always brings me. There's something about the massive trees and the absolutely gargantuan landscape that helps me reset and recalibrate.
I think of it as a reminder. That in the grand scheme of things, I am but a spec of dust. A fleeting second in the timeline that forged giants. An inconsequential, absurdly conceited being facing off with a force too brutal for comprehension.
That when everything is done and dusted, nothing matters.

Halfway To Heaven
I am halfway to heaven
Halfway to a song
Is this what you see
I am floating in the slipstream
Am I really me
Is this what we become
A race against time and matter
Before we are all done
Why do I wait here
Why do I stay
Is there something missing
My heart does not say
All I know is that I cling here
Waiting out my days
A spirit's perspective is not necessarily ours, anchored to the ground...
Looking towards the West Tower, Church of St. Mary's, Eastbourne, Sussex, UK.

I knew I would be busy in April, but I had no idea I would be as busy as I have been. Sorry to neglect my good flickr friends. I have been shooting some here and there, just had no time to work anything up, or even really to get online. The coming week is as busy as any I've had, but hopefully I'll get a chance to get on here and see what everyone is up to sometime this weekend.

Lac Léman , Montreux.
Not enought time for a picture today . So i've just take a look to my old pictures from a road trip.And i stopped on this picture taken on the lac leman in Montreux.
The song was written by Queen at the same place than the photo .
Enjoy ;-)
Reminds me of the famous film by Wim Wenders "Der Himmel über Berlin" from 1987. The English title is "Wings of Desire". Great movie, great music.
Clear skies allowed me to capture this scene as the Milky Way set just behind Mt. Shasta. There was still some blue/purple lingering in the sky from sunset, and there was some orange color along the horizon that was largely due to smoke from wildfires in the area.
As always, thanks for viewing/faving/commenting!
Personal interpretation of the lonely tree subject. You never get tired of traveling through Alentejo!
I replaced it by a slightly different composition, with some extra space around the branches. I still have doubts about this being better than a tight composition, but most negative critiques focused on that point, so...
