Self Reflection (self portraits in a mirror)
View allAll Photos Tagged Self
Hello friends, I am trying to get to all your lovely photos, it is just taking me awhile as I keep getting booted offline...
Image taken on the 10th of May, 2021, Kew Gardens, London (ignore the Exif data). Please see my previous images and comments on this sculpture ("Leaf Spirit"). In this close-up it is a bit easier to detect the design principle of this work of art. The human face is composed of leaves (imprints or cutouts). The borders or limits of the face are 'fuzzy' and merge with the botanical live forms around it. I read this sculpture as an acknowledgment of a new perception of reality (in the West at least): the concept of the individualised and autonomous self has come to an end. Rather, the self is connected to everything around it. Our face is only a momentary surface expression of the history of life and cosmos. To express this, the sculptor used a term taken from animism and its spirit worlds. The Upanishads would also be capable of providing terminology for this new experience (such as 'Tat Tvam Asi').

Picture done for the Grove Art Center's Photo Club this upcoming Saturday 31th of May 25.
This weeks Theme is - Self Care. Photo Club meets every Saturday at 11:30 a.m. slt. Feel free to join, everyone is welcome, with or without a picture.
Self care does not always have to be big, expensive or complicated. I have learned that less is often more.
Sometimes, it is as simple as stepping outside, breathing in the evening air, and watching the sunset. Just letting myself soak in the present moment.
There is something deeply calming about watching the sun set by the sea. As the sky softens into shades of gold and rose, and the waves gently meet the shore, the world seems to quiet down.
With the rhythmic sound of the ocean, the salty air, and the cool breeze brushing against my skin, it feels like nature is reminding me to breathe again.
My thoughts begin to slow. The weight on my chest and shoulders lifts just a little. And in that stillness, I feel my soul begin to soften.
There is something truly healing about moments like these, the way the sky shifts through colors, like it is learning to let go of the day with grace.
It does not ask anything of me. It just is. And in that silence, I find a kind of inner peace and a quiet contentment that is hard to put into words.
So if the day feels heavy or my mind is tired, I remind myself to be gentle. Sometimes all I need is to step outside and watch the sky. Let the sunset hold space for me. It is a small act of self care, but it does so much good for my mind, heart, and soul.
I deserve moments like that. 🌅💛So does everyone else too..

It’s important to know who you are. At least until you figure out that who you are has nothing to do with anything you think about that.
- Story of the Day - By Brian Andreas
Most of the time, I literally hate to take photos of myself, or even to be on photos in general. But last week, I convinced myself I had to try at least once a studio self portrait.....and this is the result..... Me, myself and I.
there's a divine sense of freedom to consciousness, I've been laying here for so long I almost missed the weight of the piano upon my sleepy head.
Took it a while back when I was in Japan. I was really excited about taking photos in the snow but it never snowed :(. More photos to come!
Bald Eagle standing in the the water, looking at its own reflection and possibly waiting for fish to pass by. It was the first time for me seeing a bald eagle almost half soaked.
Getting their feathers all wet is a big no-no for bald eagles, since they instantly loose their ability to fly, becoming prey for other predators.
Einstein Museum
Albert Einstein (1879–1955) lived in Bern when he turned our ideas of space and time upside down with his theory of relativity in 1905. The Einstein Museum, which is part of the Bern Historical Museum, presents the life of the physicist. The light installation in the entrance area is a highlight.

I am not the body
Nor am I the mind,
Neither the machine
Nor the interpreter
Discard the shells
Isolate the 'Self'
The examiner cannot be
The object to be examined
This 'I Am' , so pure
Immortal, unstinted
Drop of divine ocean
The ray of Almighty

The spring dalesbus season is now operating, the main change is the firstgroup flirtation with the services is sadly over. East Yorkshire & Reliance now operate the Hawes route still with deckers and a slightly amended timetable. Here Reliance BJ11EAE climbs out of Cray and onto "the tops" before the decent into Richmondshire.
