"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.

Perception condition

Enmeshed in

Radiant presence

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.

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."

"The best camera is the one that's with you." - Chase Jarvis

This is arguably my favourite photo of this year so far. When exploring Torndirrup National Park on the south coast of Western Australia, I came across this scene which instantly sent out a "long exposure alert" in my mind. The glow of the fading light illuminated the canal between the rocks, the clouds moved quite fast in the sky and the water shimmered gently right in front of me. There was no dramatic wave action but there was just enough of water moving between the rocks to create a misty effect that I envisioned.

I found this amazing scene on a beautifully still and peaceful day at Wellington Reservoir in Western Australia. Reflections were just like a mirror and I loved the colour theme as well.

Weeds, moss and overgrown vegetation threatens to blot out all traces of an old barn that once stood tall and fresh. Younger people often view older people and see only a slow, stooped gait. But in the older person's mind they still skip like a child.

"There is no truth. There is only perception."

 

-Gustave Flaubert

Perception is created and twisted so quickly.

  

It's interesting how perception can be altered by the simple expedient of rotating the image. So, two images for the price of one today!
