Stranger on the horse. casual shot in the park at the foot of the New Jerusalem Monastery. cloudy weather, it is snowing
There's a story behind this portrait. I was walking around the city when someone behind me asked if I could take a photo of her. I looked back and there she was! I never speak to strangers (remember my mom's warning!) but I had to say "of course". A second later, she threw her backpack and coat on the ground and started posing!! I mean, fashion shoot posing!!!! :))))) When we were done, I asked how was she planning on getting these photos. She suggested posting them on Twitter. I am not a Twitter person. I countered her offer with mine - Flickr. She never heard of it. :))) She decided to give me (!!!!) her email address... A few hours later, after a little editing, I attached them and sent the email to her. Guess how this ends... she gave me a wrong address. :)) As they say, only in NY! :)))

Thank you to the stranger Jonny for sitting for me :D
“With her seasons misled
Stronger than her moods
When our parts parted
She bled and bled and bled…”

الغربــاء.
..........
الغرباء مخلوقون من تراب وماء.. يتخللهم النور ويرويهم الهواء رغم بنيتهم الصلصالية.
الغرباء معجونون باللطف ومجبولون بالحياء.. عاطفتهم تسبق عقلهم.. وعقلهم يسبق فعلهم.. وفعلهم يسبق يأسهم.. ويأسهم أمر خيالي.
الغرباء مؤمنون.. يمرون بالحياة مرور الكرام كي يزحفوا منها نحو السماء.. لا يهمهم من الأرض إلا موطئ قدم.. وإحقاق حق.. وانكشاف أفق.. وتثبيت عدل.. وبراح توحيد.. وربما فنجان قهوة..
الغرباء راضون مرضيون.. يغنون دوما في عوالمهم الداخلية.. هم يعيشون في عالم موازٍ من الموسيقى المستمرة مسموعة كانت أم متخيلة.
الغرباء منعتقون من الانبهار والمبالغات.. حريتهم داخل نفوسهم لا خارجها.. لا تبهرهم الزخارف.. لا تلفت نظرهم الأشياء.. لا يقدسون الأشخاص.. بل يبنون الأفكار دوما.. ولكن دون عبادتها.
الغرباء يفرحون لرؤية غيمة.. كطفل يفرح بقطعة سكر، هم أيضا ينتعشون بمراقبة عصفور.. ويضحكون للعب قطة.. ويتنفسون بزراعة نبتة.
الغرباء يعتنقون الخفة.. يكرهون الاقتناء.. ويخشون من ثقل المتاع وكثرة الأشياء.. فلا تعنيهم صراعات البقاء طالما وجدوا ثمرة خفيفة تسكت جوع الجسد.. ولا تغريهم قتالات المال طالما لديهم ما يحمي كرامتهم من جنون القطيع واستعلاء الغباء.
الغرباء وحيدون.. لكنهم لا يشعرون بالوحدة.. لديهم الكثير الكثير من المعارف.. والقليل القليل من الأصدقاء.
الغرباء متوازنون رغم ميلهم نحو التحرر.. عاقلون رغم ميلهم نحو الجنون.. مفكرون رغم ميلهم نحو الشعور.. منضبطون رغم ميلهم نحو التفلت.. ثابتون رغم ميلهم نحو التحلل.. وجالدون لأنفسهم إن شعروا يوما أنهم قد مالوا نحو الميلين وتركوا المنتصف.
الغرباء متشبثون بالوسط.. متطرفون بنفورهم من التطرف.. هم أشد المكروهين من سكان أقصى اليسار وأقصى اليمين على حد سواء.. هم في معركة أبدية مع سكان الطرفين.. وهم أيضا خط الفصل في صد هجمات الطرفين عن بعضهما.
الغرباء صامتون في وقت الكلام العام.. متكلمون في وقت الصمت العام.. يكرهون التصفيق.. ويهانون إن زُجَّ بهم في أي صراع نفعي.
الغرباء شرسون في الدفاع عن حقوقهم.. ليس من أجل كسب الحقوق.. ولكن من أجل إقرار المبدأ فقط. هم يأنفون من ركوب موجات المجتمعات.. يتجاوزون النقد والحقد والشتائم.. ويستحون عند سماع المديح.. فيهربون.
الغرباء مستمرون مهما تعثروا.. يحزنون.. يبكون.. يصرخون.. يتعبون.. يخطئون.. لكنهم أبدا لا يصيبهم اليأس ولا يأكلهم الإحباط.
الغرباء يعرفون بعضهم بعضا.. ويحبون بعضهم بلا أسباب.
الغرباء يجدون بعضهم بسهولة وسط ضباب الاعتياد وعموم المنافع.. ويفرحون بصحبة بعضهم.. فرحة إنسان وجد إنسانا فوق سطح كوكب لا يحتوي إلا الصخور. وكل غريب منهم مرآة صدق لصديقه الغريب.
الغرباء هادئون.. لا تغريهم الانتماءات.. فهم ينتمون لله كعباد.. وللتراب كنشأة.. وللإنسانية كمبدأ.. هم خارج عبادة المسميات وأشد ما يثير سخريتهم حرب الانتماءات وبطاقة التسميات وتقطيع الأرض وفق حدود يتم تسميتها حسب الأهواء.
الغرباء بسيطون.. يفرحون لأسباب بسيطة.. يستمتعون بمتع بسيطة.. ويضحكون لأمور بسيطة.. لكنهم لا يبكون إلا بجبال من القهر.. أو بسقوط ورقة خريف.. أو ما شابه..
الغرباء يسمون الأشياء بمسمياتها الحقيقية.. حتى لو غضب منهم بقية الأعضاء في الجوقة البشرية.
الغرباء.. لهم وجوه نيرة وعيون حزينة.. لكنها مليئة بالحياة ومفعمة بالأبدية.
الغرباء.. قلة ضمن كثرة وندرة ضمن غوغاء وصرخة عدل مستمرة عندما يعم الفساد.
الغرباء أتباع الأنبياء.. طوبى لهم دائما..
"طوبـــى للغربـــاء".

Been in SL since 2007.
This August 22nd I'll be 12 years in this world that I live in, just like I live in my RL. No lies at all!
I can't accept one simple lie - either in SL or in RL.
So, we met in this metaverse reality, like eight years ago?
You were never easy, I was never easy.
I'm not easy at all and you never left. Kept coming back to me, with your own truth and me with mine.
This is probably the last image we take ...
... before we meet in person!!
I only have to be grateful to you, the one who lever left. The only person who never left me, despite everything I carry - good or bad, you always believed in me, trusted me. This is priceless in life, either real or "imaginary".
Can't wait to see you!
This time, I know I'll be completely vulnerable.
Thank you M!

Image taken @ Endless
A lone sundown walker.
I titled this sundown image, 'Stranger Danger'......when in all actuality, there were likely no threats at all.
This person may have had a dog on lead.
I especially like how parts of this lone stranger seem to be missing from the image. The light reflections on the bench seat and the top of the backrest, give the illusion that he is partially invisible.

Each and every view, comment and fave are so very much appreciated. Thanks for visiting.......

Another girl was taking shots of her. When she noticed my camera, she also posed for me. No idea about this pose but I somehow liked it.
These dancing trees are just epic, especially the mood it gives during foggy conditions, reminds me of the show Stranger Things
We met Anita one lunchtime in a café in Petworth after our visit to a nearby National Trust Property. She was with her little dog, Benji, who was wanting to be friendly with us. I asked to take his photo, which led us into conversation.
Anita told us they were in the area house-sitting for her niece, away on holiday in New York. Billy the cat also lives in the house, not a problem as he and Benji ignore each other - after a quick hiss and scramble!
I explained my strangers' portrait project and she was happy for me to take her photo. In response to my request for information about herself, she told me about her interest in craftwork: decoupage and pyrography.
She has since sent me photos and explained that she taught herself decoupage, the art of decorating objects with paper cutouts, during lockdown. It involves taking items, painting them, and decorating with images mainly cut from napkins. "Very relaxing and time consuming, just what I needed to while away the days during lockdown!"
Pyrography is the art of burning decorative designs on wooden items with a heated tool, which Anita learnt, also self-taught, during 2025. She described this as "fun to learn as different woods burn differently and I hope to return to this to learn more about shading and techniques in general."
I must admit that the idea of pyrography seemed a little hazardous before Anita enlightened me.
I promised to send photos and the link to her story when posted.
Mutual thanks and goodbyes made, we left the warmth inside the café to be on our way home. It had been a lovely and unexpected encounter.
When a stranger asks you to take his photo...click! 📷 I don't know if he was only fishing or taking photos, too. He was in the park and now it was time to go back home.
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and taking the time to comment or fave! Much appreciated!
The genderbent cast of Stranger Things is coming to a Talent Show near you!
