"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.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!
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."

Hiking with my wife in Colorado we crossed this old bridge on our 8 mile hike, 4 of those miles in a cold rain!

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 often see animals, faces and various objects in the shapes of clouds, tree bark, or the textures in the reefs. How about you?? Maybe it's Pareidolia?
Wikipedia states:
Pareidolia is the tendency for incorrect perception of a stimulus as an object, pattern or meaning known to the observer. No I didn't get the word of the day calendar :)
Waterfilm is a series filmed since 2012 based on the idea of filming with a freehand camera for a period of exactly one minute.this series illustrates the meditative qualities of water in an urban environment It is my belief that the close observation of this essential element has the ability to influence our perceptions. Each film is intended to be a short meditation – take your time to feel it, but don’t swim away too far...
