With rays of warmth, he embraces her soul. Arms, iron strong, surround their love.
Sunshine reaching, fills the room. With feathered whispers, they embrace the day.
Poetry and picture by me.

The weekend is "within reach", hope everyone enjoys it.
This is Obi, he will be celebrating his first birthday in a few weeks..
The lovely Aechmea reaching above the intertwined garden greens. You can see it's spiky leaves and patches of dryness.

El interior
Las columnas de la nave central.
Detalle de la bóveda.
Gaudí evolucionó de un primer proyecto gótico hacia un estilo personal, orgánico, inspirado en las formas de la naturaleza: para librarse de los contrafuertes góticos, ideó el uso de columnas en forma de tronco de árbol, que permiten descargar el peso de las cubiertas directamente en el suelo, solución práctica a la vez que estética, ya que convierte el interior de las naves del templo en un espacio orgánico que semeja un bosque. En 1987 se inició la cimentación de las naves; para 1997 se completaron las bóvedas laterales y se empezó la central.
El templo tiene planta de cruz latina, con cinco naves de 90 metros de longitud, y crucero de tres naves de 60 metros; la nave central tiene un ancho de 15 metros, y 7,5 las laterales, haciendo un total de 45 metros; ancho del crucero, 30 metros. La altura es de 45 metros en las bóvedas de la nave central y 30 en las laterales, mientras que las del cimborio central llegarán a los 60 metros. Las naves laterales contendrán las cantorías para los coros. El ábside es lobulado, con deambulatorio entorno del presbiterio. El templo contará con un total de 36 columnas, que oscilarán entre 11,10 y 22,20 metros de altura, con bases de polígonos estrellados de varios lados según su ubicación: 6 (naves laterales), 8 (nave central), 10 (torres de los Evangelistas), 12 (torre de Jesús). Los materiales de construcción varían de la piedra de Montjuïc al granito, basalto o pórfido.
Las bóvedas son hiperbólicas, construidas con baldosas de mosaico veneciano. Gaudí utilizó la técnica de la bóveda catalana o bóveda tabicada, que consistía en la superposición de varias capas de ladrillos con argamasa. Las cubiertas son de forma piramidal, coronadas por una linterna y un farol. Los ventanales están pensados para distribuir una iluminación suave y armónica, creando un efecto de recogimiento, y tienen forma geométrica abstracta; las vidrieras de colores son obra de Joan Vila i Grau. Gaudí realizó profundos estudios acústicos y lumínicos para conseguir una perfecta sonoridad e iluminación en el interior del templo.
The church plan is that of a Latin cross with five aisles. The central nave vaults reach 45 meters while the side nave vaults reach 30 meters. The transept has 3 aisles. The columns are on a 7.5 meter grid however the columns of the apse, resting on del Villar's foundation, do not adhere to the grid, requiring a section of columns of the ambulatory to transition to the grid thus creating a horseshoe pattern to the layout of those columns. The crossing rests on the four central columns of porphyry supporting a great hyperboloid surrounded by two rings of 12 hyperboloids (currently under construction). The central vault reaches 60 meters. The apse will be capped by a hyperboloid vault reaching 75 meters. Gaudi intended that a visitor standing at the main entrance be able to see the vaults of the nave, crossing, and apse, thus the graduated increase in vault loftiness.
The columns of the interior are a unique Gaudi design. Besides branching to support their load, their ever-changing surfaces are the result of the intersection of various geometric forms. The simplest example is that of a square base evolving into an octagon as the column rises, then a 16-sided form, and eventually to a circle. This effect is the result of a three-dimensional intersection of helicoidal columns (for example a square cross-section column twisting clockwise and a similar one twisting counter-clockwise).

This lodge is the place where my sister and I arrived around lunchtime during our hike in the northern Black Forest. It is called Gruenhuette and already existed when I was a child. Every hiker around here knows this place as it is located on several popular hiking tours. You can't reach the lodge by car, to get there you will always have to walk for quite a while. They are famous for their pancakes but we had brought our lunch and just sat down outside of the lodge to eat. In the comments I add another capture which shows the view on the Gruenhuette from the place where we sat.
There is a place of renewal and happiness within you.. All you need to do to reach it ..is withdraw your attention from the outside world and focus on the strength and the energy inside of yourself
unknown~
Moving slow today, will be in to visit through out the day.. God willing..
thinking of you all..
soft hugs..

What a fantastic night... My favorite shot of this series :)
This series is along the Main Street Pier on the Indian River in Sebastian, FL. The location I chose is between two local watering holes that had competing bands...one of which was playing a song 'Riding the Storm Out' ~ and I did indeed ride it out.
For a brief 'Ben Franklin' moment, I contemplated the potential hazzard of standing next to my tripod while holding that umbrella up over the camera to keep it dry...hmmm
Reach for the sky

💭 Did you know Saguaro cacti can grow to be 200+ years old and 40+ feet tall, in an environment that barely receives double-digit annual rainfall totals coupled with air temperatures routinely exceeding triple-digits?! 💪 Talk about perseverance in the face of extreme limitations! I find myself always awe-struck in the presence of these incredible feats of natural engineering.

A pretty miserable day yesterday with rain and strong winds curtesy of storm Callum my camera stayed firmly in its bag, luckily I still have a few images from Wednesday mornings visit to the Upper Dove Valley to share. Walking back down from Chrome hill just after sunrise the golden light spreading through the leaves on the tree was magical. I thought the branches reaching out to the sun, the soft mist and the light skimming over the path made a such lovely tranquil scene so did my best to capture it.(Olympus EM-1 Mkii 7-14mm f/2.8 pro 1/100 f/6.3 @ 7mm Kase X-eye polarising filter)
Climbing the ridge from Causey Pike (637 m) to Scar Crags (672 m), one reached a point where visibility simply ceased.

85-0008 C-5M 9th AS / 436th AW Dover AFB [Delaware] AMC USAF. Inbound to Rwy 04 at Stansted as Reach 395.
This was from the day after my first image, the mist just a bit nicer . Its a fabulous tree and it looks to me like its been designed by an engineer, the main trunk leaning back to counterbalance the branch extending to the right of the composition.

If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment
In my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my
Very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach....

Trees along the trail seem to reach out toward passersby.

Trees reaching out for the light. Slight sun light early morning, another composition for Autumn though.
As I reach for god …
I dream of the heaven above ..
I call him in supplication …
Hoping my prayers getting answered …

SUMMER 2006
feeding coal tits nuts, seeds, or insects. They are not fussy eaters..Coal Tits are restless, acrobatic little birds that can hang upside down on trees and hover to reach food on the underside of leaves and branches.
Reaching back in my archives again as I seem to have lost my touch or even any talent lately:) I think the winter blahs have gotten to me!
The journey continues and our traveller has now reached the gate on his way to the temple...
Got really inspired by summer joust and the asian category so I decided to keep building a bit in that style. Hope you guys like it, still got a temple-build on the way so stay tuned ;)
