30 Days of Perception - Day 22 - Silence and Stillness
I feel silence and stillness the best when I'm in nature, preferably in the presence of trees. they emanate serenity.
The world from your back door seems so wide, the house so tiny it is from inside. The box that you're still living in I cannot see for why, you think you've found perception doors but they open to a lie.....Hawkwind 'Mask of Morning'

[...] Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world [...]

Oh goodness, I wish you could see this one in person, the depth didn't translate back into photo very well! Whitney is a dancer and the grace I hoped to capture seemed effortless for her!
Growing up, the sighting of a butterfly was magical. They were so delicate, free, and always sought out beauty (in the form of flowers). It seemed perfect to have a butterfly represent a heart then. The roses and wings are emerging from a rib cage that has been cut out of the canvas.

Very pleased to find this nice old Victorian stone railway arch beneath an embankment. It's not very long, and has got a bit of an awkward angle on the floor, but that's more than made up for by the hill behind the tunnel, which blocks out all the sodium light pollution in the sky.
Part of a series of shots on time and its perception
Man waiting for the train at the station reading the newspaper.
His solitary waiting suggests a slow perception of time, a moment of 'isolation' in which everything flows more slowly.
Indeed, time expands almost to a stop in the longer expectations.
In contrast with this, the moving train: symbol of becoming, a perception of motion and 'sliding'.
Framed within it, other commuters waiting or moving frantically between the tracks, recalling also images of 'waiting/slow - motion/fast' passage of time.
Their synthesis invokes the theory of relativity (Einstein)
I tried to show the different degrees of perception of time, moving from the idea of time as an abstract concept, dependent on our subjective perception and emotion.

This is My Brother, although this image is a self portrait
this is how I saw him...
No confusion between man and machine.....
frozen in time as a strong reflection of my perception of others.
strong character,
strong heart.
Enjoy!

Name: Perception
Real Name: Unknown
Status: Villain
Powers and Abilities: Sometimes people see exactly what they want to see, or what they expect to see. Perception’s powers make use of this, making everybody within a 50 yard radius see him exactly how their brain expects. He is also an expert at voice manipulation, quick wardrobe change, and acting.
Main Weakness: Because of his power, people may see him as someone they’re angry at or a really close friend, both of which get uncomfortable. Also, his power only works at a quick glance, so when people look at his face for a long time they notice that something’s off.
Bio: Perception grew up in an orphanage, and never knew his parents, nor his real name, and because of his powers, the everyone there mistook him for someone else. Eventually, feeling lonely and invisible, he ran away. Throughout his teen years he grew a better understanding of his powers, and used them to his advantage. However, he suffered an identity crisis when entering adulthood, and decided upon a specific look for himself that he would focus on whenever he came upon his own reflection, so as not to lose his mind. After this, he tried having a normal life, one with friends and a job, but none of that worked out due to his “curse,” as he calls it. So in order to get money to support himself, he resorted to a life of crime, working mainly as a thief. He now lives comfortably, yet alone, and continues to thieve, both for the resources, and for the excitement it brings to his otherwise lonely life.
A photographer that I follow on Flickr often posts distinctly beautiful scenes, full of the spectrum of forest colours, and I often appreciated them for what I thought was as much good treatment as good source material. But my visit to the USA in autumn, in particular Arlington cemetery, rebalanced that perception a little.
Check out slight clutter.
30 Days of Perception: Day 14
On my usual pre-dawn walk, I was seeking beautiful tree silhouettes against the lightening sky. I passed this tree trunk on the side of the path and didn't take too much notice, but then I turned back to take a closer look. There was something about it that had caught my eye. The street lamp was illuminating the lichen and bringing out the rich colours and texture.
I am glad I turned back to see something that I hadn't been seeking.
Day 350. 12/06/2011
We,humans like to have perceptions about things- people, countries, cultures, etc.
We perceive things from what we hear from others, who has probably heard it from somebody else.
The perception about Islamic women is one such example. Westerners think those females are caged and nothing more. Fortunately, thats not the truth.
Just because she covers herself, doesn't mean she's oppressed. Islam has given men and women equal rights.
Please dont generalise, and please dont have false perceptions about things you dont know about.

Day 350! Expected some flowers on my stream? Or something happy go lucky? Sorry to disappoint you guys then:p.
My attempt to photograph what I see, not what I know is there... opens the door to creative thinking and curiosity for the viewer.
Found these dead leaves lined up and the sun shining on them. It looked really beautiful even though they were dead.

Please do not insert images, of group invite, thank you!
Ickworth Park. With over 1,800 acres of parkland designed by Capability Brown, the house and its grounds were created as an homage to Italy, the country so beloved by Frederick Augustus Hervey, the 4th Earl of Bristol. The Earl-Bishop spent his life travelling the continent, gathering together a vast collection of paintings, sculpture and artefacts. Already possessed of several houses, he conceived Ickworth primarily as a museum for his treasures. At his death only the Rotunda - the giant circular structure at the centre of the two wings, described by Hervey's wife as 'a stupendous moment of Folly' - was nearing completion. The house was eventually finished by his son. Although Hervey's treasures, confiscated during the French invasion of Italy, were destined never to occupy Ickworth, his descendants made it their life's work to rebuild what has become an exceptional collection of art and silver. Paintings housed in the galleries include works by Velázquez, Titian and Poussin, while the collection of 18th-century portraits of the family is exceptionally fine, featuring canvases by Gainsborough, Reynolds, Vigée-Lebrun and Hogarth. In addition to one of the very best British collections of Georgian Huguenot silver, Ickworth is also home to an impressive array of Regency furniture, porcelain, and domestic objects. More made a career of producing idealised Italian landscapes. His Landscape with Classical Figures, Cicero at his Villa, painted in 1780 and funded in 1993, is a typical work, the misty soft-focus and pastel light adding to its appeal. Hugh Douglas Hamilton's The Earl Bishop of Bristol and Derry Seated before the Prospect of Rome shows Hervey seated at what is thought to be the southern tip of the Borghese Gardens. Ickworth's parklands and gardens can provide a day's activity in their own right. The south gardens are modelled on the formal Italian style, while the gardens to the west of the house are more informal. Visitors can walk or cycle out into the park itself and up to the Fairy Lake. Bright and modern, The West Wing Restaurant overlooks the gardens and can be guaranteed to catch any sunlight on offer. It serves everything from hot meals to snacks, and at weekends the restaurant is open for breakfast. If you're after something rather more formal, try Frederick's restaurant at Ickworth Hotel in the grounds.
The sheep is a quadrupedal, ruminant mammal typically kept as livestock. Like all ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. Although the name "sheep" applies to many species in the genus Ovis, in everyday usage it almost always refers to Ovis aries. Numbering a little over one billion, domestic sheep are also the most numerous species of sheep. An adult female sheep is referred to as a ewe (/juː/), an intact male as a ram or occasionally a tup, a castrated male as a wether, and a younger sheep as a lamb. Sheep are most likely descended from the wild mouflon of Europe and Asia. One of the earliest animals to be domesticated for agricultural purposes, sheep are raised for fleece, meat (lamb, hogget or mutton) and milk. A sheep's wool is the most widely used animal fiber, and is usually harvested by shearing. Ovine meat is called lamb when from younger animals and mutton when from older ones. Sheep continue to be important for wool and meat today, and are also occasionally raised for pelts, as dairy animals, or as model organisms for science. Sheep husbandry is practised throughout the majority of the inhabited world, and has been fundamental to many civilizations. In the modern era, Australia, New Zealand, the southern and central South American nations, and the British Isles are most closely associated with sheep production. Sheepraising has a large lexicon of unique terms which vary considerably by region and dialect. Use of the word sheep began in Middle English as a derivation of the Old English word scēap; it is both the singular and plural name for the animal. A group of sheep is called a flock, herd or mob. Many other specific terms for the various life stages of sheep exist, generally related to lambing, shearing, and age. Being a key animal in the history of farming, sheep have a deeply entrenched place in human culture, and find representation in much modern language and symbology. As livestock, sheep are most often associated with pastoral, Arcadian imagery. Sheep figure in many mythologies—such as the Golden Fleece—and major religions, especially the Abrahamic traditions. In both ancient and modern religious ritual, sheep are used as sacrificial animals. Domestic sheep are relatively small ruminants, usually with a crimped hair called wool and often with horns forming a lateral spiral. Domestic sheep differ from their wild relatives and ancestors in several respects, having become uniquely neotenic as a result of selective breeding by humans. A few primitive breeds of sheep retain some of the characteristics of their wild cousins, such as short tails. Depending on breed, domestic sheep may have no horns at all, or horns in both sexes, or in males only. Most horned breeds have a single pair, but a few breeds may have several. Another trait unique to domestic sheep as compared to wild ovines is their wide variation in color. Wild sheep are largely variations of brown hues, and variation within species is extremely limited. Colors of domestic sheep range from pure white to dark chocolate brown and even spotted or piebald. Selection for easily dyeable white fleeces began early in sheep domestication, and as white wool is a dominant trait it spread quickly. However, colored sheep do appear in many modern breeds, and may even appear as a recessive trait in white flocks. While white wool is desirable for large commercial markets, there is a niche market for colored fleeces, mostly for handspinning. The nature of the fleece varies widely among the breeds, from dense and highly crimped, to long and hairlike. There is variation of wool type and quality even among members of the same flock, so wool classing is a step in the commercial processing of the fibre. Depending on breed, sheep show a range of heights and weights. Their rate of growth and mature weight is a heritable trait that is often selected for in breeding. Ewes typically weigh between 45 and 100 kilograms (99 and 220 lb), and rams between 45 and 160 kilograms (99 and 353 lb). When all deciduous teeth have erupted, the sheep has 20 teeth. Mature sheep have 32 teeth. As with other ruminants, the front teeth in the lower jaw bite against a hard, toothless pad in the upper jaw. These are used to pick off vegetation, then the rear teeth grind it before it is swallowed. There are eight lower front teeth in ruminants, but there is some disagreement as to whether these are eight incisors, or six incisors and two incisor-shaped canines. There is a large diastema between the incisors and the molars. For the first few years of life it is possible to calculate the age of sheep from their front teeth, as a pair of milk teeth is replaced by larger adult teeth each year, the full set of eight adult front teeth being complete at about four years of age. The front teeth are then gradually lost as sheep age, making it harder for them to feed and hindering the health and productivity of the animal. For this reason, domestic sheep on normal pasture begin to slowly decline from four years on, and the average life expectancy of a sheep is 10 to 12 years, though some sheep may live as long as 20 years. Sheep have good hearing, and are sensitive to noise when being handled. Sheep have horizontal slit-shaped pupils, possessing excellent peripheral vision; with visual fields of approximately 270° to 320°, sheep can see behind themselves without turning their heads. Many breeds have only short hair on the face, and some have facial wool (if any) confined to the poll and or the area of the mandibular angle; the wide angles of peripheral vision apply to these breeds. A few breeds tend to have considerable wool on the face; for some individuals of these breeds, peripheral vision may be greatly reduced by "wool blindness", unless recently shorn about the face. Sheep have poor depth perception; shadows and dips in the ground may cause sheep to baulk. In general, sheep have a tendency to move out of the dark and into well lit areas, and prefer to move uphill when disturbed. Sheep also have an excellent sense of smell, and, like all species of their genus, have scent glands just in front of the eyes, and interdigitally on the feet. The purpose of these glands is uncertain, but those on the face may be used in breeding behaviors. The foot glands might also be related to reproduction, but alternative reasons, such as secretion of a waste product or a scent marker to help lost sheep find their flock, have also been proposed.
