Perception goes beyond the obvious and what the eye can see.
Eventhough we mostly perceive the world through our senses - sight, hearing, smell, taste & touch - the mind and the heart are responsible for much further input analysis.
Sometimes we call it intuition or a "feeling of"....it is this which brings butterflies in our stomach when we are in love, but also this voice that insists on telling us to be cautious of a situation despite what apparent facts might be.
Should we be a little bit clear with ourselves, then we can most probably trust this voice/ emotion/feeling and dive into a situation with all our heart, despite the risks involved or simply deny to trust, eventhough our ears are being pet.
How many boats are displayed here?...four can be counted, but maybe there are as many more not caputred in the picture....
Always see beyond the horizon.....
...perception is endless and eternal.
Tricky things are eyes and brains. Sometimes, they don't quite tell it as it is. Like here.
We're at Llandudno, it's early evening, the weather is all over the place and so is this picture. But, hang on, look again. The shot is actually perfectly straight. Never mind the half-cock platform lighting or the PIS screen that looks like it might succumb to gravity any second. Go stand in that spot, that exact spot that I stood on. This is what you'll see.

CONSCIOUSNESS IS QUANTIZED: Consciousness occurs in ‘time slices’ lasting only milliseconds, study suggests.
According to Herzog and fellow researcher Frank Scharnowski from the University of Zurich, neither the ‘continuous’ nor ‘discrete’ hypotheses can by themselves aptly describe how we process the world around us, as numerous studies testing people’s visual awareness seem to disprove both notions.
But what if elements of both hypotheses were taking place at the same time in a continuous interplay between conscious and unconscious thought?
“According to our model, the elements of a visual scene are first unconsciously analysed. This period can last up to 400 ms and involves, amongst other processes, the analysis of stimulus features such as the orientation or colour of elements and temporal features such as object duration and object simultaneity,” the authors write in PLOS Biology.
After this analysis is complete, the researchers say the features we’ve detected are integrated into our conscious perception, compressing all the unconscious recording into something we’re actually aware of.
In other words, while we’re taking the world in, we’re not actually consciously perceiving it. Instead, we’re just mutely using our senses to record data for up to 400 ms at a time. Then, in what could be called a moment of clarity, we consciously perceive the stimuli that our senses have detected.
The team thinks this presentation of information to our consciousness lasts for about 50 milliseconds, during which we also stop taking new sensory information in. And then repeat.
Hmm. Or maybe this is evidence that we’re living in a computer simulation. Also see this.
I posted this picture a few weeks back as a composite/weird edit. See link below

Its an instant favorite of mine, however, it did not get much attention. So I took out the edit I did and went bare bones here....minus some retouching. So maybe this one will go over better. Constructive criticism encouraged... cheers
31/7/2011 - it feels like ages since i've taken any pictures with a real camera.
just returned recently from my 3 week trip of north america. feels great to be back.
i was very lucky to get the chance to test out a tilt shift lens, the Nikkor PC 28mm f/3.5 AI. this image was taken with this lens, shifted up.
will try my best to take more pictures these few days!
Betelnut girls amuse themselves with fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Betelnut girls (Binlang Xi Shi/檳榔西施) are a unique part of Taiwan culture. They sit in brightly-decorated glass booths wearing skimpy outfits, and sell cigarettes, drinks and betelnut to passing drivers. It’s a controversial trade but not actually illegal. The question of whether the girls are exploited is open to debate – certainly their own perception is mostly that they are doing a job like any other, and the less they choose to wear, the more they sell.

On our way back from Stockholm to Warnemünde. A very corpulent woman wanted to go tho the buffet, but the passage between her, her husband and an also very corpulent woman which was sitting behind them was narrow. The woman asked her husband if he could move a bit forwards, because she didn’t fit through. He turned around, saw the woman behind them and said, rolling his eyes: „No wonder“…. He really didn’t realize that his own wife was as corpulent as the woman sitting behind them. Is it true, deep love or some kind of perception disorder? ;-)
On our way back from Warnemünde to Kiel we visited Wismar. Cute little town.

Nothing's ever right or wrong. It's merely a flow of thoughts: perception!
I'm never stimulated by the ideas, my art is the constant reflection of my perception. Sometimes Stimulated and sometime Virtual, but always its on my perception. May be depth is required to enable to quench the thirst.
