Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.

"Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our reality."
Quote - Gary Zukav
Sometime it is really hard to see what is real and what isn't……….

Happy Fence Friday!!
it is our perception that extends a flash moment of history to a slow motion film of approx. 80 so called years of life ... and we enjoy it as every single frame of a movie...every single frame... we just have to stop for a second and let it pass by.
Every moment we stop extends our life ...
Is this reservoir half empty, or...
Ladybower Reservoir summer 2018. I had planned to photograph the sink holes but after such a long dry summer they were standing a metre or so above the water level, I had to be content with some general views...no wind at all also meant an LE wouldn't do too much...ah well...
You may think the Red Pin is Larger, Truth is they are the same size...............Perspective has created this illusion.

"There are things known and things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception"--- Aldous Huxley
Created for Mel/Lauraxfire who is doing the hard yards at the moment and to whose connection here on flickr has been my privilege.
Always wonderfully generous with a keen sense of humour,Mel's art which is always inspirational takes you on journeys never envisaged and is just an amazing experience to view ..!
This piece is inspired by the following quotation found on Mel's profile page...
(When the doors of perception are cleansed, man will see all things as they truly are, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern...William Blake 1793)

(I have found this music to be conducive to regathering and healing,I hope you find the same)
Just adding my thoughts of hope and strength to the many others wishing the same for you Mel.
All the best from down under......!

The snow followed by one of these now infamous "polar vortexes," bringing real temps (not wind chill) overnight to a nippy -25F/-31C, rising all the way to 0F/-18C over the day....these pleasing conditions to last at least a week.

There is a big difference between whether something is like that or whether you think something is like that. Much in our life is our own perception.
