There is no truth. There’s only perception.
Gustave Flaubert
Non esiste la verità, solo la percezione.
Time for a touch of minimalism. This is a little scene I found at Wellington Reservoir in Western Australia on an overcast day. The dead tree stump poking out of the water caught my attention especially and I decided to take few long exposures to create a subtle moody image.

Turrell has studied both the nature of light and the psychology of perception. At sunrise or sunset in the "Amarna" one participates in an experience that uses light and colour to create a sense of altered space. I mentioned that Turrell was raised a Quaker, whose emphasis on the "Inner Light" is central to everything they do. This belief has never left Turrell. He walks in the Light and uses the light spectrum as a metaphor for what he considers the essence of the Light.
On the top right hand corner of this montage you'll see rows of seats that extend right around the installation. These are just like those found in old Quaker Meeting Houses. In fact the Society of Friends (Quakers) in Hobart use this space from time to time for meetings. A Quaker meeting is held in a silent meditative state, at once individual and corporate. That's Mt Wellington / kunanyi in the background.
Sitting silently and looking up (another metaphorical act) the colours change so gradually that one moves through the entire visible colour spectrum over the next 45 minutes. That rectangular window in the ceiling allows one to look through and see the sky. But even the sky seems to change colour and vibrancy with the changing of the light.

We all have our own perceptions in life and at some point of time we try to convince others to agree to our perception thinking that ours is the only right one.
In this image, a circle shape can be seen from top but it is also a flask-shape when it is viewed from other angle, both shapes are real and both angles are right, it is just a difference of perception.
We should respect each other's perceptions, point-of-views, ideas, suggestions, advises, etc. and should be open to those things for better human relation.
Enveloping the world in a dense, impenetrable fog, fog creates a feeling of isolation and loneliness, changing the perception of the environment, fog confuses the mind.
Огортаючи світ щільною, непроникною імлою туман створює відчуття ізоляції та самотності, змінюючи сприйняття навколишнього середовища туман бентежить розум.
The moment you change your perception, is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body. – Dr. Bruce H. Lipton
We found a cute little cafe for our cup of tea, called Changing Perceptions. Some info below, for those who are interested!
Changing Perceptions has quickly evolved from Godalming’s best kept secret to a popular and bustling Café and home interior shop. Located at the very top of the High Street this unique and vibrant social enterprise is just a stone’s throw away from the Meath. Meath clients are supported to up-cycle donated furniture in the on-site workshop which is then put on sale in the shop, with all profit going straight back to the charity. It is a very important part of the Meath’s philosophy to help dispel the stigma associated with epilepsy and to assist all of our clients to live alongside people from all walks of life, sharing similar experiences and hopes and dreams for the future.
This is my last photo from this trip, but don't worry, I have another couple of day trips to share!!

Guess who finally got their hands on BG3 two years late? Meeee!! I haven’t done one of these animations in awhile and wanted to dip my toes in again. (hehe, lake pun)

ACCIDENTS IN THE PERCEPTION OF TIME
"Modes of perception: between channels:
Wordless days, years, periods.
Centuries of drawing with black lead, or burnt sienna on the rock.
Restless scratches. Silhouettes of clumsy figures.
A tangle of lines (animals in motion).
Millennia of the word: winding of words around the body, lashing,
silhouettes of clumsy sentences. Space behind them.
Muting: and a surge of noisy images. Unravel. Span.
Look like you understand.
A hand for joy: draw.
A hand.
A hand: survive, kill.
A mouth for the voice (play, cheat). Open. For someone else.
Like with like (Picasso in the cave). And bridges!
For yourself. For someone else."
