Recently finished reading Les Miserables....grateful for stories such as this one that open my eyes to divinity... small moments of grace shimmering on the pages.
This is an image from my recent Tethered project.
Tethered is a mixed-media project blending photography, animation, and traditional darkroom techniques with experimental processes and tactile materials. Through themes of grounding and isolation, freedom and rootedness, attachment and separation, the project weaves a visual narrative that explores the dualities of connection and solitude. Incorporating materials like thread, rope, food coloring, and elements inspired by landscapes, Tethered emphasizes the materiality of the medium, encouraging viewers to engage physically and emotionally. The addition of animation introduces a dynamic interplay between energy and stillness, enhancing the work’s exploration of landscapes as spaces of reflection, distance, and connection. By merging tactile elements with experimental approaches, Tethered invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship to place, identity, and the tension between solitude and belonging.
But fear of being found kept her tethered and secluded to hill enraptured with Morning's golden light.
I woke up at six in the morning and fought off swarming mosquitos to get this and I'm actually happy with it. And looking through the photos I took, I still can't believe that this location exists; it's that beautiful in the morning.
This deserves to be seen large.
P.S. I just got back and I can't tell you how excited I was to see all this feedback. Seriously, you all just made my day. (Sorry I'm reposting, I just had to say thank you.)

NASA astronaut Jessica Meir rocks her CAVES shirt on board the International Space Station. Jessica was the first woman to participate in ESA’s underground astronaut training programme in 2016.
It might not be obvious, but there are many similarities between working deep underground and in outer space.
Since 2011, ESA’s Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills course has been taking astronauts below Earth’s surface and preparing them to work safely and effectively as representative spaceflight teams in an environment where risk, scientific operations and living conditions have many similarities to space . At the end of the course astronauts are better prepared to participate in long term ISS expeditions, balancing mission goals, environmental risks, team demands through their individual skills and team processes.
As many as 34 astronauts from six agencies have scouted caves to experience the challenges and excitement of exploring alien environments on Earth.
Jessica joined the 2016 edition along with five astronauts from China, Japan, USA, Spain and Russia in the caves of Sardinia, Italy, to explore the depths and train for life in outer space. As the team’s biologist, Jessica was tasked with searching for alien underground life. Jessica talked about her love for exploration and her experience at CAVES in her video before launching to the Space Station.
Just as with spacewalks, the underground ‘cavewalks’ required safety tethering, 3D orientation, careful planning and teamwork. Jessica and her fellow cave explorers needed to stay alert in an environment where they were deprived of natural light and every move was a step into the unknown.
The experience no doubt complemented the extensive spacewalk training she has since received. Jessica went on to conduct the first ever all-female spacewalk during her 205 days in space. Alongside NASA astronaut and friend Christina Koch, the women totalled 21 hours and 44 minutes outside the Space Station across three historic spacewalks.
The next ESA Caves course will take place in 2021. ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti is tentatively booked for the course. Follow all the Caves adventures on the blog.
From under the Earth to above it, Jessica is now back down on our planet. She returned with fellow NASA astronaut Drew Morgan and cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka on 17 April.
Given a global pandemic and strict quarantine measures, the crew were welcomed home, just in time for Earth Day on 22 April. The annual event to mark environmental protection is celebrating its 50th anniversary and is the first to be celebrated from home.
As difficult as quarantine has been for communities across the globe, the impact on our planet is noticeable. Analyses from Earth observation satellites are showing the continued low levels of nitrogen dioxide concentrations across Europe – coinciding with lockdown measures implemented to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
In light of this, staying home does not seem such a bad way to celebrate Earth Day.

To be alive
Tied to dirt and grime
Days and nights
To be freed
Away into the stars
Echoes of distant
Whispers and sighs...

With deck tethers already attached, recently arrived Royal Navy No.845 Squadron Leonardo Merlin HC.4 ZJ129/N running rotors on the stern of R-08, HMS Queen Elizabeth
Sister ship ZJ118/B was already aboard along with five Merlin HM.2 variants of which some of the latter's rotor heads can be seen to the right

One of their mothers died and the hope is that the other mother will accept both lambs.
I do like the 50mm wide open & focussed on a mid point. It would have been perfect with a silhouette of a cyclist speeding by in the background or a chained vintage looking bike with a wicker basket...maybe sometimes I think and expect too much ;-) I also thought this would convert really well to mono...but it didn't, the bikes just got lost in the background. Any road, I like it.
