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.
There is no truth. There’s only perception.
Gustave Flaubert
Non esiste la verità, solo la percezione.
This, believe it or not, started out as an Infrared image. Carefully massaged into a false color Infrared to mimic a blue hour shot.
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.

Thank you very much, for all your much appreciated comments and invites!
Have a nice day and evening everyone!
A calmness arises when we are in a quiet place with a sensory subject that brings our mental focus out of hiding and into the here and now.
I have written a short Facebook post that uses this image and the original image as examples of my opinion on artistic photography. It will give you a peek at how much changed in the post processing.

camera’s view and imagination.
I find that shooting with a super wide angle lens almost forces you to look at things quite differently. I'm usually a stickler about level horizons, but I found myself having a bit of fun with looking at things on a different slant.
This is a small swampy area with Cypress trees, and lots of Duckweed growing on the surface of the stagnant water.

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!!
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.
Understanding and managing perception, both our own and that of others, can lead to more effective communication, better relationships, and greater success in various aspects of life.

The moment you change your perception, is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body. – Dr. Bruce H. Lipton

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)
"Doors of Perception" - Long exposure sunrise at the beach, North of the Donmouth, Aberdeen, Scotland.
I found this old Serendipity pose, and its theme of perception seemed to go well with the stunningly revealing new dress from Aleutia that’s available now at The Secret Affair. I’m also showing off the B variant of the new Sangria hair by eXxEsS – I can’t believe how amazing it is!
A beautiful depiction of Ganesha, remover of obstacles and the lord of new beginnings.
I have mixed feelings about seeing deities and Buddhas in commercial settings such as a garden centres, alongside garden gnomes, dragons and flowerpot people.
But looking beyond to when these figures are in people's homes and gardens and giving them pleasure and maybe inspiring peaceful contemplation and then my mood changes to something more open to compassion.
Love, Light and abiding Peace to all sentient beings.
Sudden change in climate.....added so much beauty with amazing playful colour strokes, witnessed at Naya Raipur.
I see you as you are,
with your subtle flaws...
but your colors, are
oh so beautiful.
And you softly reflect light,
in your uniquely special way...
like mist in a dream, surrounding
a secrete place in your heart.
It can't be seen or touched...
only sensed with an unusual perception,
call it love.
It's the only way you can make yourself know to me,
and each thought is so delicate, and filled with meaning.
How do I begin to convey
the things you've shared with me.
What some see as mysterious others see as miraculous. Perception is the key to life.

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."
