FREE
Free like the river
Flowin' freely through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind
Freer than the clock's hands
Tickin' way the times
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
Life running through me
Till I feel my father God has called
Me having nothin'
But possessing riches more than all
And I'm free
To be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shinning through my soul
Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold
Free from conceiving the beginning
For that's the infinite start
I'm gone - gone but still living
Life goes on without a beating heart
Free like a vision
That the mind of only you can see
Freer than a raindrop
Falling from the sky
Freer than a smile in a baby's sleepin' eyes
I'm free like a river
Flowin' freely to infinity
I'm free to be sure of what
I am and who I need not be
I'm much freer - like the meaning of the word free that
crazy man defines
Free - free like the vision that
The mind of only you are ever gonna see
Free like the river my life
Goes on and on through infinity*

Salobreña is a small-sized town located on Granada’s Costa Tropical. Two main parts may be distinguished in Salobreña. The old town is a cluster of white houses in an actual maze narrow streets, allies, and small squares that sits on a rocky prominence inland. The remains of a medieval Moorish castle that tops the hill is arguably the best known tourist attraction in Salobreña. Spreading from the bottom of the old town along the coastline, there is an aggregate of hideous new developments that house tens of thousands of visitors every summer.
El Peñón de Salobreña is a rock formation situated between two of the five beaches of the municipality. Jutting more than one hundred meters into the Mediterranean Sea, it provides an assortment of vantage points perched on its rough slopes from where sunsets can be enjoyed at its fullest.
Even though I have spent most of my summer vacations and frequent weekends in Salobreña for many years, I did not seem to truly appreciate its beauty at the time. I believe some time and distance were needed for me to develop a deeper appreciation for what I still consider home.
The little purple splash in the drop is the reflection of a wonderful peony!
Lens flare...thought it added to the atmosphere in this one!
When I first saw this sculpture I visualised it as a person standing in front of a firing squad accepting inevitable death. The wall behind added to my vision as it appeared to be pock marked with bullet holes from previous executions.
In reality the sculpture Inner Light was created by John O'Connor. His work medium is contemporary figurative and his works are described as personal, emotional and poetic. The Inner Light sculpture is cold cast bronze and if you have some spare cash is for sale at £10,500.

Dedicated to everyone, who feel depressed because of the current events.
This week I was going to make a picture about Thanksgiving, but I was too exhausted and didn't manage to take it in on time :( darkness and fear, because that's something I feel as actual for a lot of people now. But the original idea was close to the picture from my still unpublished comic (same character, very different lighting), so I remembered another idea which came in the spring. That idea was also very different, it supposed to be an anti-war picture with the crowd and a social commentary. Instead I decided to use the same lighting effect (lit a character from the inside) to make it a statement about inner light.
Anyway, the original idea was more depressing, and despite the fact that the final picture looks more hopeful, I still feel like the original idea... :(

Morning glories are so full of color.

Jede Überzeugung ist ein Gefängnis!
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
Every conviction is a prison!
Toute conviction est une prison!
Ogni convinzione è un carcere!
Toda convicción es una cárcel!
любое убеждение – это тюрьма
كل قناعة انما هي سجن
每一个信念就是一所牢狱
Toda a convicção é uma prisão!
Svatko ubjeđenje je jedan zatvor!
Každé přesvědčení je vězením!
Enhver overbevisning er et fængsel!
Elke overtuiging is een gevangenis!
Jokainen vakaumus on vankila!
Minden meggyőződés börtön!
いかなる確信も、牢獄となる
모든 죄의식 자체가 감옥이다
Enhver overbevisning er et fengsel!
Każde przekonanie to więzienie!
Toda a convicção é uma prisão!
Orice convincere este o închisoare!
свако уверење је један затвор
Každé presvedčenie je väzením!
övertygelser är som ett fängelse!
ทุกคำตัดสิน คือการลงทัณฑ์
Her inanç bir hapishanedir!
כל הרשעה הינה בית סוהר

All mysteries of heaven are hidden deep in yourself...
you just have to discover your secret fountain of mystery!
I have taken so many photographs of these little beauties...
Now they are in second bloom and I just couldn't resist
this morning...
The uniqueness of each soul
I swear my dear son,
no one in the entire world
is as precious as you are.
Look at that mirror
Take a good look at yourself
Who else is there above and beyond you?
Now give yourself a kiss
and with sweet whispers
fill your ears to the brim.
Watch for all that beauty,
reflecting from you
and sing a love song to your existence.
You can never overdo
praising your own soul
You can never over-pamper your heart.
You are both
the father and the son,
the sugar and the sugar cane.
Who else but you,
please tell me who else
can ever take your place?
Now give yourself a smile;
What is the worth of a diamond
if it doesn't shine?
How can I ever put a price
on the diamond that you are?
You are the entire treasure of the house.
You and your shadow
are forever present in this world;
You are that glorious bird of paradise*

Mirrored photograph... out of my series "colors dancing with light"...
I move my camera with open shutter over colors and light in order to abstract
the colors and light from their original forms.

September
This is a parting full of banners:
the blue of plum and apple's green.
The garden hoists the aster's scanners
and thousand mullins shine between.
This is a parting full of brasses,
of giving thanks, of peasant balls.
With cowbells chiming, from the grasses
the motley herds march to their stalls.
This is a parting full of fragrance,
of ancient smells again revealed:
the jams' and jellies' boiling cadence,
the roasting taters in the field.
This is a parting full of hustle,
of spits with chickens, steins with stout.
The giant swings to heaven bustle,
but may not prove enough devout.
The starlings start their fall migration
and gossamer floats in the winds.
A loud and silent separation:
the carousels are in rotation
and what seems gone again begins.*
*Erich Kästner
From march 7 through march 10th all galleries in Königswinter opened their doors... this is my first time to do so here. The "official" inauguration of my exhibition will be in may though. It's an interesting experience to have your own photographs hanging all around ;-) Lizanne (lizannes_lightpaintings here on flickr) joined me with some of her works, too. flickr.com/photos/poetry-and-truth/2319536996
Werner (poetry & truth) came over visiting... here you will find some more photographs: flickr.com/photos/poetry-and-truth/2318567431/
Oh... by the way... this is also the reason for my being "almost absent" here on flickr, trading the "real" photoworld for the virtual one for a while...
