Poet as Orpheus with Two Sirens, Greek, made in Taras, South Italy, 350-300 B.C.
This statue is of Orpheus; he once held a lyre and thought to be singing. He is in the midst of rescuing his fellow Argonauts from the Sirens (out of the picture, sorry!) who would lure the sailors to their deaths. He seems extraordinarily serene to me, given the peril he would appear to be in.

that is the place and this : of Orpheus
A variety of butterflies seen in a few minutes mid morning on the trail behind the lodge.
I have actually seen one of these before. It is an interesting metalmark and very distinctive.
Ink Drawing
Studying Orpheus by Giovanni Bellini
I frequently have a feeling that those unfinished works attract me more. Well, when they are completed, they somehow lose their appeal. It seems that some precious things are lost during the process of completion, though I am not quite sure about this. But everything must have a price. Similarly, those rough, vague, and raw works are more likely to win my affection. I think it’s more difficult for exquisite paintings and photography to impress people for a long time. Of course, this is my personal feeling which varies from person to person.
Like this painting, "Orpheus”, by Giovanni Bellini, it attracted me when I first saw it. But after I awkwardly drew a few lines based on it, I suddenly fall in love with my own work. So I stopped and let it end. I think this drawing of mine may be more palpable. Now, there is no doubt that I go for this clumsy copy of mine.
It is more like a beginning, and nothing is more exciting than a clumsy, naive, vague beginning. Of course, Giovanni Bellini is a great painter.

White Orpheus or Pink?
Mangrove Roots, Orpheus Island, 2009.
Phase One 645AF, P45+ back, 28mm lens, 15 seconds @ f16, ISO 50.
I was up to my knees in warm salt water, but I wasn't complaining. I also think that's why many people from the southern latitudes of Australia visit Orpheus Island in winter and if, following the chilly weather we've been having lately, you're in need of a warm respite, now would be a good time to book a trip to Orpheus Island in Far North Queensland.
There are two options. One is a six star resort which is out of my price bracket (champagne tastes, beer budget), the other is the experience of your photography life at the James Cook University research station on the other end of the island. However, while the location is fantastic, the real attraction has to be three of Australia's best photographers and photographic educators ever. Dr Les Walking is joined by Dr Vicki Cooper and Dr Doug Spowart. I'm pretty sure Vicki and Doug are both doctors, maybe they're professors or something else as well, but I get lost after an ordinary degree!
Les has been presenting his Orpheus Island printing workshop for eleven years along with John and Pam de Rooy. And after my presentation with Les in the Daintree last month, I said I'd mention his printing workshop in my newsletter - and hence the photograph above.
For more details about the Orpheus Island Photography Workshop, visit www.leswalkling.com/courses/orpheus-2016/.
Shooting the photograph, I was knee deep in salt water as the tide came in. It was taken only a stone's throw from the research station with a wide-angle lens and a long shutter speed of 15 seconds to blur the water.
To lighten up the tree roots as though they were catching the light from the sunset, I used a channel mask which picked out the light that was already striking the top of the mangrove roots and then, using a curves adjustment layer, lightened them up. It was easier than using a brush and carefully picking out the roots because all the hard work had been done by the channel. This is one aspect of Photoshop that can't easily be replicated in Lightroom or Capture One, but admittedly it takes a little more practice to achieve as well.
So, do you like the pink light catching the tops of the tree roots - or would you prefer them to look like steely-white moon light? Have a look here to see second photo and rest of blog. www.betterphotography.com/index.php/peter-eastways-blogs-...
Water automats, grottos, fountains – Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, Markus Sittikus, had a system built in the early 1600s to astonish and entertainhis guests at Hellbrunn Schloss in Salzburg. "Orpheus Grotto" shows Orpheus playing a violin and the sleeping tree nymph Eurydice (she was his wife), the ibex and the lion (the archbishop's heraldic animals) listening to the music of Orpheus. The archbishop had imagination -- he enanced the many grottos with sound made by a mechanism of pipes and waterwheels that drive the sound board of an organ.
3 more exciting butterflies, all new to me, seen in a 10 minute spell mid morning.
A very distinctive species and on many trips it would have been one of the highlights - not however on this trip.

Marumi Exus CPL
Standing firm on this stony ground
The wind blows hard
Pulls these clothes around
I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost
I wrestle with an outlook on life
That shifts between darkness and shadowy light
I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear
But orpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the world
Sunlight falls, my wings open wide
There's a beauty here I cannot deny
And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs
Are just so many people I knew never cared
Down below on the wreck of the ship
Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret
But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide
As orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side ~ David Sylvian
One of those 'juxtaposition' shots where a fairly ordinary walk has the potential to launch a little daydream.
