Anyone who longs for light is not lightless, because longing is already light.

A little maple leaf on its last way, creating some beautiful little boat on the lake between the trees, showing how beautiful every moment of life could be.
I love and I hate the fall. So beautiful, but also showing that my beloved summer ended, giving space for cold and lightless times.

One night, under a crooked moon, a forgotten pumpkin stirred in the darkness of the cemetery.
Wrapped in brittle mummy bandages, yellowed with time,
it blinked awake, heart thudding in vine.
It didn’t remember the spell or the dare,
only the cold hush of October air.
Thus it wandered among the shadows, soft and uncertain, a lightless lantern filled with fear, its soul still pure.
Its carved smile was tinged with fear,
and with each creak it whispered: "I don't belong here!"
"Where is the farm... where are the children?"
And it kept walking, looking for help. Would it find that help at the end of the road? I hope so!
Happy Shocktober!! 👻🎃

The whisper of the aspens is not drowned,
And over lightless pane and footless road,
Empty as sky, with every other sound
Not ceasing, calls their ghosts from their abode,

This photograph was taken with Black Dragon viewer using customized Reshade shaders.
Today I was getting ready to post this shot with the usual blah, blah commentary when I decided to mix it up and give you some insight into the other side of “Adventure in Fine Art Photography.”
I was so exhausted after photobombing the Canadian Rockies with my bro-tog William McIntosh that when I returned home after three years of on-off travel. I for the first time unpacked all of my camera/camping gear, Everything …..All of my packs cleaned on the rack and the lenses cleaned on the shelf and the winter weather gear all dried and in soft bags ready to grab in case my psycotic bro-tog Bill calls frantically at midnight wanting a 1 hour departure schedule to run off chasing some cloud bank heading northeast at 11 miles an hour, You do know Bill, that the definition of insane is when someone does the exact same things and expects a different result. Ironic, the life basis of a serious landscape photographer is just that, Hehe. Oh Snap, does that mean we’re all psycho?
So, I decided to subject myself to a social experiment and undergo a “photo-fast” if you will. No social Media or Camera!!!
The very first time that I took a camera out into the landscape, I was hooked, it was the very place that my heart has been since my childhood and up until that point, my life totally revolved around Photoshop and the Macintosh. and since that was my career and how I made a living it’s all I did, I spent twenty years doing nothing socially “unless my wife dragged me into it” but learn and study Photoshop and have been a mac addict since the very beginning. The experiment for me was, could I go back to my old life and be content?
It wasn’t bad in the beginning since i just had an 11 day glut of Canada, where we flew into the backcountry by helicopter froze our buts off at 4am several mornings and shot in temps of -10c, who could miss that? As the weeks rolled by It began, the shake. It was just a slight tremble at first and then by week 8 I was walking around like tweak from Southpark. I needed to shoot and I needed it bad, haha.
I decided to put that “tweak” energy to work for me and rebuild my entire office from the ground up, into a media streaming and photoshop training center. All dual monitor computers with dual processors hacked with faster processors and stuffed with SSD raids all rebuilt to match the speed of my 2016 Macbook Pro which has screamed since day one and is still as fast as the day I purchased it, or should I say mortgaged it. I had to ball it up into a home refi. Freaking Apple, I can’t believe their prices, but still worth every penny of productivity. Luckily, all the upgrades were made possible by “Hey Dude” shoes they donated the systems and I maxed em’ out with money I made doing workshops and parts that were donated to me!!!
If you’ve never heard of “Hey Dude” shoes try em out, super comfortable loafers and a great price. “end advert”……. There now that’s out of the way, on to the “tale of the take”.
This is a shot that Bill and I had seen when scouting for the trip. Paul Ziska has alway inspired me so it was no shock that Bill loved his work as well so it was no contest what to do on this dreary, lightless overcast morning. We showed up around 5am and while we walked around the lakeshore ran into Aaron Dowling teaching a workshop to a gaggle of Aussie photographers. Check him out he’s got some amazing shots from the provincial portions of North America. We waited and hoped but no luck just some soft light with no color, :-( But we still had 9 days of photo-bliss ahead of us.
I would like to wish everyone a Happy Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Thanks for following along on my photography adventures.
Even on a grey, lightless day you can't help but stop at Blea Tarn. When you have said to yourself you've been there before and its shot so often its a cliché, you still pull in to the little car park and say to yourself "just one snap"
Another gloomy lightless rainy day. It didn't seem to bother the birds, who were quite active at our feeders. A male House Finch (Carpodacus mexicanus) waits for a break in the action

I really wanted to try something different, so I decided to take a snapshot in front of a chromakey backdrop with Black Dragon, using specific chromakey filters. Then, using Midjourney to come up with a random background, added it in photoshop with a subtle blur. Lastly, swapping out the chromakey background of the original shot with the generated snapshot.
I should probably go to sleep instead lol.
The pose I'm doing here is a modified OMY Daphne, with Lelutka Axis and Hitoshina Pose.

While disciples make their hajj to William Blake, I would rather
pause to kiss the air on behalf of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, 1850 - 1919,
of Dane County, Wisconsin, who wrote, a pat on the back is only a
few vertebrae removed from a kick in the pants, Mrs. Wilcox one
of the Midwestern gnostic poets at the edge of where the country
broke in half, where the midday moon appears crenelated and rusts
through the sky. The wind could channel the vapors of atmospheric disturbance above Galena or Mt. Horeb, could summon thunderheads and crackle the blue, but sweet, dead Mrs. Wheeler Wilcox would
remain speechless under her sod, gone with those who gathered
thistles and eulogized the russet manes of draft horses, camisoles
and ice frescoes. I think of her now as I pump this roadside
spigot and listen for whatever life begins its upward journey
hundreds of feet below. A sputter, a muddy burst, then
I speak in tongues, a lukewarm joy I bend toward and sop up.
It's hard enough to rescue the lost who are still with us, but
those who wrote so plain seem unanointed, few thickets to hew
or Latin to transliterate. We drink what the well sends up, no
matter how aged or mineralized or from which artesian spring it
comes, earthy in my cup of hands, water from underground, from
lightless cisterns, free flowing long after we let go. And for
hours afterward an indefinite taste remains in my mouth, of words,
I think, untapped, moving miles down in subterranean rivers and
black, enormous lakes that exist on maps only the dead possess.
--M deO
“Feeling at peace,
however fragilely,
made it easy to slip into the visionary end of the dark-sight.
The rose shadows said that they loved the sun,
but that they also loved the dark,
where their roots grew through the lightless mystery of the earth.
The roses said: You do not have to choose. ”
― Robin McKinley, Sunshine

At the end of a short, but ridiculously narrow lane from the village, in the middle of the very rural north Oxfordshire countryside, this weird Victorian mirage opens up.
The family run business has been producing beer since the 1856, but this building was constructed in 1890's.
A 'tower' brewery, the raw materials were, and still are, added at the top and make their way down, floor by floor throughout the brewing process.
A large steam engine powered the building, and did so until 2006! It is still in situ and is still operated during the regular brewery tours.
The brewery still maintains three much loved Shire horses that take turns in twos to pull the dray, delivering its beer to the local village pubs within a 5 mile radius; a very picturesque sight along the local country lanes. Hugely popular at fetes and festivals they love a pint of beer at the pubs they visit, much to the delight of visitors and locals alike.
The brewery has about 47 'tied' houses (pubs).
I've taken better photos of this building but I kept the dull, flat lightless sky the day had become. The Pear Tree pub is about 100 yards down the lane behind me...the camera finally in the rucksack and the end of the walk! (but still the bouncy village bus home)
Abiding by the rules of synthesis, when standing in front of an interesting vista, stands as a guaranty that you will capture a most presentable frame ... One of those rules is to present your main theme from within a physical environmental framework ... This way, both your main theme is better exhibited and your frame's foreground acquires additional interest ...
Also when the ambient physical light calls for shutter speeds close to the area of 1 second for proper exposures. a monopod may prove extremely useful ... It's less heavy than a tripod and it adjusts easily to almost all ground inclinations ...
The above seen frame presents the eastern entrance of Potidea's canal at Chalkidiki on a lightless, rainy afternoon of spring 2017 ....

Stealing down an ally on a cold dark night
I see a halo in the rain 'round a street light
I stop and look, and listen to the sound
As the raindrops penetrate the silence all around
Alone, I gaze into the glistening street
The distant thunder echoing my heartbeat
Urging me on to a secret goal
Away from the light, from this lamp on a pole
So I turn, slip away into the rain
Drifting like a spirit through the shadows in the lane
Clutching the tools of my trade in my hand
An old box of matches and a gasoline can
Darkness envelopes the scene like a shroud
A veil of emptiness hangs from the clouds
Filling up the cracks in this desolate place
Cradled by the night in an icy embrace
Moving through the town like a ghost in the rain
A dim reflection in a dark windowpane
Blackness beckons from every side
Creeping all around like an incoming tide
A broken window in an empty house
I slip inside and begin to douse
The whole place with the fuel that will feed the fire
And push back the night, taking me higher
On out of the darkness in a deafening roar
The match in my hand is the key to the door
A simple turn of the wrist will suffice
To open a passage to paradise
I pause, I think about the past in the gloom
The smell of gasoline permeates the room
Everyone has a little secret he keeps
I light the fires while the city sleeps
(Like the Fourth of July)
The match makes a graceful arc to the floor
And time stands still as I turn for the door
Which explodes in a fireball and throws me to the street
I hit the ground running with the flames at my feet
Reaching for the night which recoils from the fire
The raindrops hiss like a devilish choir
Dying in the flames with a terrible sound
Calling all the names of the sleepers all around
But dead in the arms of the night they lay
Their dreams sprout wings and fly away
Out of the houses in a gathering flock
Swarming overhead as I hurry down the block
I make my escape with the greatest of ease
And safe in the darkness drop to my knees
At a lightless window, my hand on the latch
I reach in my pocket, and pull out a match
having seen through the deceitful senses and allowing them to subside and having thereby ended the objective knowing of the mind, the jumping ego, to know the lightless light and the soundless sound in the heart is the true power of yoga.

Let me know what you think, and who your favorite is!
This is an infrared shot of the spot where you shoot the famous kirkjufell in Iceland. I've seen so much sunset, sunrise and night (aurora) images of this place but never an Infrared image. So I kept shooting IR and it led me down to take the falls without kirkjufell on the frame after I exhausted all the usual classic vantage points. The ridges of the hills and rock contribute interesting texture to the scene.,
No one understood the perfume
of the dark magnolia of your womb.
Nobody knew that you tormented
a hummingbird of love between your teeth.
A thousand Persian little horses fell asleep
in the plaza with moon of your forehead,
while through four nights I embraced
your waist, enemy of the snow.
Between plaster and jasmins, your glance
was a pale branch of seeds.
I sought in my heart to give you
the ivory letters that say "siempre",
"siempre", "siempre" : garden of my agony,
your body elusive always,
that blood of your veins in my mouth,
your mouth already lightless for my death.
Federico García Lorca, "Gacela of Unforseen Love"
There is a heavy grey cloud cover over our country again, it is foggy and lightless. It is not really fun to go out and take pictures when there is no light. I dug a little into my photo archives and made some findings. :) Photo is taken in the summer 2024 with my older camera Nikon D750 + Nikkor 200-500mm lens.
And lightless. Sin luz.
Como muchas cosas que aparentan pero no lo son.
