“What if you slept
And what if
In your sleep
You dreamed
And what if
In your dream
You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in you hand
Ah, what then?”
― Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Well, if you wake up and have a thistle in your hand, then you have an ouch, but you are not sick ;-)
Happy Thursday ya all!
While in the mood to play around this morning, I've taken the best shot in the first photograph posted today and applied some selective colour. The red band on the Low Head Lighthouse was added in the 1920s to increase the visibility of the lighthouse during daylight hours. The light that is visible was just about at the point where it automatically swtiched off.
I was originally going to use this image for Smile on Saturday's Selective Color theme, but I came up with another one that I liked better - or at least I think I like it better. Anyway, here it is; I'll post the other one on Saturday.
Smile on Saturday - Red Rules
Although this was sitting in my photo staging area, I thought it best to use for this week's theme. I was going to just go with some previous very red photo, but thought it best to get these ones that have been in wait a chance for some acknowledgement. That is a big word to type out.
Smile On Saturday
De eerste Begijnhofkerk in België werd in 1240 gebouwd te Luik. Als tweede oudste begijnhof wordt vaak Tienen vermeld, waar in 1245 met de bouw van de vroeggotische Begijnhofkerk werd gestart. De vlakke voorgevel bevatte geen klokkentoren. De plattegrond bestond uit drie beuken en een niet uitspringend pseudotransept uit de 13de eeuw. Het koor en de zijkapellen dateren uit de 14de eeuw. Van het schip zijn enkel de spitsbooggewelven tegen de voorgevel bewaard gebleven. Die tonen duidelijk aan dat alle bogen op eenvoudige vierkante zuilen rustten. De kerk bezat een gelambrizeerd houten tongewelf.
Op 22 september 1976 werd de kerk door een hevige brand grotendeels vernield. De ruïne werd gerestaureerd
en in 1997 ingericht als wandelpark.
Build in the 13th century. Destroyed by fire in 1976. Now used as a beautiful park !
My favourite door in Newtown. Couldn’t resist this with selective colour :)
Had a fun time with a friend in Newtown on Saturday shooting some street photography. We came across Renee who was with her friend in a nearby graffiti clad laneway taking each others portraits. They were happy for their portraits to be taken and I like how many of them turned out.
I remembered this door and suggested a photo with it included in the composition. I like the result!

An Apple A Day...
The ubiquitous apple, a simple fruit that has so many varieties and flavors, there is nothing quite like a cold apple on hot day. and they are so pretty and you know what they say "an apple a day will keep the doctor away. "

Had a funny old week and my internet's still blinking
In Buddhist teaching the way of Samatha can be described as "a tranquility of mind; a calm abiding, which steadies, composes, unifies and concentrates the mind."
This is the way to describe a serene person. One who is calm and centred even in the midst of a world plunged into chaos. It is a discipline that can only be learned through PRACTISE (i.e the verb).
The Buddhist literature on the relationship between Samatha and Vipassanā (meaning true insight) is extremely voluminous. What sounds like a straightforward relationship to the trivial materialistic Western mind requires (in Buddhist thinking) many lifetimes of discipline and practise to finally realise Awakening (anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi).
Siddhartha Gautama (6th century BC) is said to have realised this within a single lifetime and became the Buddha Shakyamuni ("Sage of the Shakyas").
I worked on a photo I took of an Osteospermum bloom that was illuminated by the morning light.
First I created a selective colour image to isolate the purple bloom then I used reflection in post processing to create this image.
Another multiple selective images. The colours were individually brushed back into frame with a layer mask in Photoshop Elements 15
