"The most common cause of a yellow sky is storm clouds. The clouds scatter the blue light coming from the sun, and this makes the light look yellow to us. Dust storms, pollen, and smoke in the atmosphere can also cause it to look yellow outside for the same reason: they scatter the blue light in the sky."

This path through young redwood trees to the Zen garden is perhaps my favorite walk in this beautiful park.
Thanks for stopping by!

I am obsessed with these green California hills. The sunset wasn't spectacular last night but there was that one brief moment when the light was sensational.
Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
The moment of observation is the real find ...
Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
The meaning of all this is the process!
Find someone who inspires shooting the camera!

Licht genug, dass ich mir noch schnell ein Buch als Bettlektüre aussuchen kann. - Light enough that I can quickly choose a book to read in bed.
First light of the morning arrives along the western side of the Wenatchee river in Tumwater Canyon.
"The canyon is estimated to be 3000' deep and nine miles long. In geology, most of the canyon rocks are of quartz diorite composition. The canyon is gradually sloped, and, as such, the highest point of Tumwater Canyon cannot be seen from the lowest point.
Despite its name appearing at first glance to be an English name or word, the canyon was actually given an Indian name. "Tumwater" is an Indian word meaning "strong water", or "falling water". The "tum" part of the word is derived from "tumtum", which in Chinook Indian jargon means the "sound of a beating heart". The name was chosen by former U.S. Forest Supervisor A.H. Sylvester many years ago, in reference to the Wenatchee River's rapids within Tumwater Canyon."

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
In the midst of darkness, light persists.

While in one sense the irruption of Sophia into Merton’s consciousness in the late 1950s was just one thread woven into the larger mosaic of his “turn to the world,” it was the golden thread that helped him to hold the fabric together, ever more centered in Christ. What emerges in Merton’s concurrent study of Zen and Russian sophiology is a kind of “story-shaped” Christology, a story told through the life of Merton but haunted more and more by the mysterious figure of Sophia.

Window light portrait with my Mamiya C220, a beautiful medium format twin lens reflex camera which I still use today. Taken in 2017 when she was just 17 :)
