This photo is simply about perspective.

a heavenly tilted perspective from under da pier....@ my fav beach in san diego, california...my special place dat i find sacred & love..

^i^

Every part of this country is sacred to my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove has been hallowed by some fond memory or some sad experience of my tribe. Even the rocks, which seem to lie dumb as they swelter in the sun along the silent shore in solemn grandeur, thrill with memories of past events connected with the fate of my people. ---Chief Seattle, SUQUAMISH

Native people say the Earth is sacred. Some places on Earth will feel more sacred than others. You can often feel the sacredness of these places because of what has happened on them. If you do a ceremony on a certain place and return later, whatever happened before will still be there to help you. Even if someone you didn't know did something on the Earth and you come along later, the powers will be there to help you. This is why the Earth is sacred and these special places are sacred spots. My Creator, let the powers of the sacred places help the people today.

I walked across an empty land

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand

I felt the earth beneath my feet

Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me?

Is this the place we used to love?

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Our reality changes, once viewed from different angles.

This simulated perspective view shows Occator Crater, measuring 57 miles (92 kilometers) across and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) deep, which contains the brightest area on Ceres. This region has been the subject of intense interest since Dawn's approach to the dwarf planet in early 2015. This view, which faces north, was made using images from Dawn's low-altitude mapping orbit, 240 miles (385 kilometers) above Ceres.

Dawn's close-up view reveals a dome in a smooth-walled pit in the bright center of the crater. Numerous linear features and fractures crisscross the top and flanks of this dome. Prominent fractures also surround the dome and run through smaller, bright regions found within the crater. The central dome area is called Cerealia Facula and the dimmer bright areas are called Vinalia Faculae.

Today was an amazing day. I have seen the statue of liberty many times and have taken many pictures of it. I must say, however that this is, by far the best shot I have ever taken. I love the perspective of this shot. The people in this photograph make it very special.

I had the opportunity to travel to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic last year and while walking on the beach past all of the lounge chairs and sunbathing tourists, Grace and I came upon these two men from the local community that stopped by the beach for a little fishing. All they had was a plastic soda bottle with some string wrapped around it and a small hook on the end. They took turns wading out into the surf and throwing the baited hook about 20 feet in front of them. It only took them about 30 minutes to catch several small fish to take home for dinner. After talking with them for a bit I asked if I could take a picture and he was happy to pose with his catch.

My perspective is that what many people initially judge as being a sad and desperate situation is not the same view point taken by those living and experiencing life as shown in the pictures. The smile is real because this man is thankful for a meal and knows that this beach and others nearby will produce another meal tomorrow. "To really know a man is to walk a mile in his shoes"... I realized a long time ago that I can't do this, but I can spend time listening to his words, lending my hand along side his while working, and to sit in his home and share a simple meal... even knowing that what he serves me might mean that he goes hungry tomorrow, but to do so is a great honor in most societies. Over the years I have been humbled to the point of tears by the simple acts of love shown by people blessed with a greater appreciation of family, happiness and contentment than most of us will ever know much less ever understand. With that, I am excited to be visiting many new friends in Kenya shortly and to be able to share this experience with my wife....

105/366: Waterfall Perspective

Life is all about perspectives, how we choose to view life and our surroundings greatly effects our happiness in life. Everything can be viewed from so many different perspectives. When photographing, I enjoy looking for unique or unexplored perspectives, finding the view nobody has seen, exploring different angles and techniques. The only way to learn is to try new things, to view new and unique perspectives and ultimately find our happiness.

This perspective of the Stone Creek Park waterfall is lower and closer then any other one of this waterfall I have taken. I am standing in the middle of the creek and have my camera about 2 inches out of the water. I love how from this angle you can see the water ‘dancing’ on each end of the waterfall.

Skyscrapers in Manhattan, New York.

when I was on the patio above I was very surprised to had a FoP of perspective!

An interesting perspective of two really strange palm trees in front of In-n-Out.

2. Perspective. Things that are close are big. Things that are far away are little. Yes -- that's an over-simplification. But you get the idea, right?

Take a Class With Dave and Dave

Class loved this one, they really got to grips with the idea and gained some understanding of perspective.

Indian Beach

I was doing pretty good until I got to the middle and looked down between the cracks... and the cables dipped below 3 feet so I could no longer hold onto them.... not wanting to be the only tall white guy in the middle of the bridge crying out for his Mommy I puckered up and kept those feet moving... small steps, but still moving... :)

The perspective that I am referring to is how easy the crossing looked from the hillside before we reached the bridge and how completely different everything looked and felt while standing in the middle of the swinging bridge. The warning signs said not to have more than 8 people on it at a time and right about the time we reached the middle where I could no longer touch the steel cables several young men jumped on the bridge from the far side causing more swinging action and walked quickly towards us. I guess thats where the pucker part kicked in.... :) Somehow we moved to one side and let them pass... I don't remember that part clearly as I was focused on the rocks and rushing water below... :P

I find it's easy for our perspective to become skewed in our daily lives as well when we don't have a solid anchor from which we can draw strength during challenging times... I think it's good to examine our anchor from time to time... :)

"Perspective"

A little perspective when it comes to Horizons. Numbers mean a lot to me. So I look for things that personally relate. Anyone who reads this will now know. This is the first time in 3 years I have revealed this. One, anything that stands out in the foreground as one thing, means you. Or I. Standing alone. Appreciating what life has given us. Two things means my wife and I, or you and yours...etc. Three things means the holy trinity. Four things means my 4 children. Five things means the family I was raised in. Six things means my family. A flock of birds..too many to count...my friends I love dearly. Every detail in Horizons has meaning for me personally. Every moment I capture and share. I do not take these just for me anymore, I take these for all those that has family and friends that feel the same way I do. Just that simple word called Love.. Those you would like to share the moment with. So thank you for "liking" Horizons. Thank you all for the nice comments. And thank you for letting me share how I see the world. Through the eyes of a child, filled with wonder and awe.

sometimes you've got to see things from a different perspective
