The Las Vegas Strip
View allAll Photos Tagged STRIPPED
I think the word "Alone" has been touched on over and over in this series of photos, however it needs it's own space because it may be the hardest of all the pills to swallow. It's one thing to go through a situation where you've lost everything, but to go through it by yourself is by far the worst feeling in the world. Often times what separates those who make it back on their feet, to those who never recover, is one simple thing. Support.
We're all different people, and everyone who falls has their own reasons for falling. One thing we all have in common though is that any single one of our individual falls can be broken up by another person choosing to get involved. What hurts more than anything in the world is falling, and seeing everyone you ever considered a friend just watching. No one offering to help, no one trying to prevent or even slow your decent, just watching, pitying, and coldly turning the other cheek. There's no feeling lonelier in the world than knowing in your time of need, when it's finally YOU who needs help, that everyone, even the ones you helped at points when you stood tall and they needed a hand, will just let you fall.
If you know someone who is struggling, no matter what that struggle is, let them know you see them. If you care about them, let them know. You might be the reason they recover, you might be all they needed, but you'll never know unless you try.

When you’ve lost everything and all the initial feelings wear off and thoughts are processed, it can feel like your drowning. How did you end up sinking so deep? How are you going to get back to the surface for a breath of air? Are you going to get back at all, or is this how and where it ends? Is everything over?
No matter how far it feels, this is a fight for your life. You have to push, you have to fight! One more kick, one more stroke! Keep going! You won’t be defeated, not this time. You can make it. You’re good enough to do this. Don’t worry about what comes next, don’t stress over what came before, just make it up to catch your breath. You’ll be ok. Just don’t... give.. up...

I've taken a sunrise photo at this location a few years back, but every sunrise is different, and this time if you look to the right of the tree you can see the crescent moon!
Have you ever felt like no matter how many people you've been there for in your lifetime when they needed someone, that no one seems to be there for you when you really need a friend? Are you the first person who volunteers to help, and feel like you're the last person who gets any help back? When you're in your hour of need, do you notice people tending to look the other way instead of putting their hand on your shoulder and telling you it'll be ok?
It's really hard when you've hit rock bottom and realize who your friends really are, in some cases you may not have any at all. Not real ones. It's these moments that show who someone really is, any one can pretend to be your friend when you're on the top of the world, when there's something they can gain from being close to you. The others make you feel even more alone, tossed out, rejected as they carry on without you.
If you're reading this, and you ever need a friend, or a shoulder to cry on, I'll be there for you.
The Soul of black and white Pictures ONLY
This is a sequence of shots that i blended together of an egret coming in for a landing at the top of this tall tree.
This week I found, quite by chance, on my FastStone software, a possibility called 'image strip builder'.
So I tried it and this is my second attempt, posted for
Saturday Self-Challenge: something I found.
The flowers came from my archive of pink flowers - and I couldn't resist also adding a border to the image.
Happy weekend, everyone!

strips of land in the Venice lagoon draw figures that from the sky seem mysterious geoglyphs to be discovered.
Who knew that the simple parking lot of a strip mall could provide the backdrop for the magnificent panorama of a summer-storm sunset?

All losses are caused by different reasons, but a select few of them happen because something was straight out taken from us, or we were taken ourselves. Imagine being not only stripped of your clothes, your dignity, and your pride, but also being forced to go along for the ride. A ride that involves no acceptance, no going with the flow, no ability to fight, just being absolutely forced to comply with everything and everyone being taken from you.
This can all be metaphorical to describe a situation in your life, but it can also be exactly what it describes. Sex trafficking is still a very real thing and is one of the worst kind of losses you can go through as a human being. Did you know that over 27 million people a year are forced into jobs, not just sexual ones, but hard labor jobs as well? You hear about the numbers sometimes of women and girls forced to be sex slaves, but you don't hear about the number of slaves working on farms, ranches, in mines, and this doesn't even include the number of inmates locked up on bogus crimes and forced to do the jobs society has deemed undesirable. Silenced, subdued, shackled, and sometimes raped repeatedly, there are depths a person can fall into that are unimaginable while the rest of the world declares "We should do something." While sipping their starbucks, and going to get a massage on the weekend at the spa from one of the trafficked women in town.
Next time you feel like you've lost everything, just remember there's a lot further you could fall, and your situation can most likely be fixed a lot easier than some other people's darkest days.
You know, I love it, when the music's loud
But c'mon, strip that down for me, baby
Now there's a lot of people in the crowd
But only you can dance with me
So put your hands on my body
And swing that round for me, baby
You know, I love it when the music's loud
But c'mon, strip that down for me
Oh, strip that down, girl
Love when you hit the ground, girl
Oh, strip that down, girl
Love, when you hit the ground
Another grand tree in Moonshine Park on the Hutt River.
Starkly beautiful in the early morning light.
I was out shooting this morning @ 5am and drove past a small airport as the sun was starting to glow. This is the main landing strip covered in a foggy mist.

Thanks for stopping by
Not a blog post - just something my rather tired self enjoyed making, using two things I was really thrilled about putting together. Only to then end up following my whims into highlighting the silhouette only. And you know what? Sometimes, that's alright. Leave something for the imagination.
Body: CZ - Slim - a sincere thank you to Cloud Zifer for his incredible generosity, while I was out there exercising some serious idiocy. It's been an interesting journey leaning into this body in contrast to other possible combinations for this particular body type. And you know what? I enjoy it a lot, and wish there were more content out there for it. For something that is just like this - a simple moment. Which brings me to how thrilled I was that the pants were coming with this fit as well.
Pants: Thirst - Kane Jeans @ Equal10. To be entirely honest, a pair of jeans is a pair of jeans most of the time - there isn't much they can do differently. Steady, simple, just...there, you know? The majority won't inspire ideas or do anything other than...obviously, be a pair of jeans. And if you're like me, then many will inspire some kind of neurotic inspection around how well the cuffs fit around my favorite shoes, and how awkward it can look. So having something that IS different, that simply inspires different ideas and demands a different use, something that simply channels a different set of moods, tickles the part of me that's chronically chasing visuals.
Now if only I COULD wake up fully so I can resume normal transmission, that would be great.

thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and favorites. they are greatly appreciated!
A former champion of the forest stripped bare for all to see. How the mighty have fallen. Still a magnificent specimen, and for once in conditions that gave this hero the atmosphere he deserved
Stripped naked, rising up
Mirrored in sweet natures cup
By the lakeside they do stand
Guardians of the wild land
Home to birds, blowing in the breeze
See the beauty of the ancient trees
