“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.”

The history of human progression through ages has taught me one simple thing..."if your will is honest and effort is conscientious, then life will teach you to journey through all hurdles and highs"
Here is a couple mountain bikers expressing the same simple message while cycling through the Baralach Pass (4,890 mts, 16,000 ft) on Manali-Leh Highway, Lahaul valley, Himachal Pradesh, India
I was so excited when I saw the way the sun was shining through these stain glass windows at St. Vitus' Cathedral, Prague.....the reflections and colours were just gorgeous.....I tried my best to capture this extraordinary scene...hope you enjoy.......
Handheld, Pentax K3 II paired with a Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2 lens ,perspective tweaked and standard run through in DxO Optics Pro on Mac. So the image is virtually the same as when it was taken.
The days we have moments that shake us to the point of crumbling. Pulls the rug from under footing. Leave us wondering which way is up. These days gives us an opportunity to overcome rather than BE, overcome.
Overcome with the feeling that in this small corner of the atmosphere reigns complete and utter silence; that here, in the darkness, immutable tranquility holds sway.
Junichiro Tanizaki, "Praise if Shadows"
Watching a storm take over the mountains over a lake is such an incredible moment in time. It is an overcoming feeling to stand before the mountains with a storm swamping them. There is so much power being displayed in this one moment. The mountains already remind us of how small we are and then when a storm has the power to overcome them it shows us truly how small and powerless we are. The Creator always has more power than the created. Let a moment like this send a holy chill down your spine that reminds you that you are not in control and that there is One who rules the entire universe! There is one who has both the power and authority to not just kill the body, but also the body and soul both for all of eternity. This same One can also give life to those who are dead. His name is JESUS!

As long as we're together, we can face all the struggles this world give us.
~ I want to thank all my sponsors who were very supportive and who understand my situation the past few days. As you all know, Philippines was hit by a Typhoon and flood has really taken a toll in my country. With no electricity for almost 3-4 days, I had to ask for deadlines extension on my blog posts. So again, thank you!

Overcome the initial fear
expanded by ancient legends
Getting in wasn't difficult.
the large door opened when pushed
of the arms
The darkness welcomed her and
For a few moments she saw nothing
Until his eyes adjusted to the little moonlight
Filtered by the glass window on the stairs
Everything was so dark and distressing
The smell of closed time
Tickled the nostrils which failed
Holding back a sneeze
Curiosity pushed her up the stairs
The steps creaked underfoot
Emphasizing the surrounding silence
She was alone
Her playmates had left her alone
When she entered the darkness of the building
She had a moment of fear and
She stopped halfway up the stairs,
the heart was beating so fast
that the heartbeat was like an echo in the void
Undecided whether to continue climbing
Or run down and escape
She remained still, almost holding his breath
Then suddenly she ran up the stairs
Intrigued by now and determined to find out what was up there
She continued to climb..

'I've come to believe that it’s worth getting to know your fearful mind... it’s never going to leave you. You can’t evict it. It’s more or less hardwired into your psyche and will accompany you onto every stage you set foot on, into every job interview you go to, and every new relationship you enter into. It’s there, and it’s not going to shut up.'

In the morning light, so crisp and clear,
Stands an overcomer, without any fear.
With arms stretched wide to embrace the day,
A smile breaks through, like the sun's first ray.

I had to overcome a fair bit of adversity for this shot, most of it my own doing too.
Every night this week, Melbourne has been blessed with colourful sunset. The one time I get a chance to grab the camera and head out, this was as colourful as the sunset got! Blah. No problem, I'll switch to plan 'B', some long exposure photo's. ND filters still sitting on the kitchen table. No problem, just wait a little longer and take some city skyline shots after dark - fully charged battery sitting on the kitchen table next to the ND filters. I only had enough juice in the battery for a couple of shots. I'm happy with this one, but there were far better vantage points I found on the long walk back to the car.
To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7)
