I used the umbrella to block the sun and love the way it still stands out from everything else.

but it is mainly the outcome of the need we have felt for making democracy such a good thing, like a scrubbed and shining schoolboy. Actually democracy partakes of the sweat and blood of the real world. It is grimy and dangerous and will never survive until it can learn to understand the ways of bullies and take its own part. I happen to care for it not because of any moral perfection it may have, but because it is by and large the best instrument I know for giving us the kind of world we want to live in :-)

Max Lerner, 1938

HFF!! Truth Matters!! Character Matters! Impeach the bully!

Below the Beaufort Castle in the Mullerthal runs a wildly romantic, wooded V-shaped valley, which is criss-crossed by the Haupeschbaach with its natural, wild course. In some places, wetlands and small bogs have developed, which are to be protected by a wooden walkway. A good thing.

[Sept. 2007] Quite possibly my favorite shot of the whole week*, taken by a random stranger of the male persuasion who grabbed my camera and insisted on taking a picture with me in it. (I will take credit for doing the 'art directing' though, once I handed over the camera.)

This photo somehow captures the look and feel and spirit of the Burning Man experience -- for me (because Burning Man is so many different things to so many different people).

*I just got back from the playa --literally-- and I have hundreds of shots to sort through, so that might change...but for now... :)

Eagles - "Hotel California" lyrics

Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

"Relax, " said the night man,

"We are programmed to receive.

You can check-out any time you like,

But you can never leave! "

"You finally noticed me..."

The man was very disappointed when he saw me passing nearby with a camera and not capturing his beauty on two wheels. The only thing left for me was to go back and take a couple of photos. It all happened without a spoken sentence.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever." John Keats

Some of you may have seen our increasingly woeful UK Prime Minister, just before our recent election, saying that the naughtiest thing she had ever done was to run through a field of wheat as a child. I thought I’d try and recreate that historic scene, using Alirium as the setting and a new pose from Foxcity that seems to fit the bill perfectly. History relived before your very eyes!

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away dreaming

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Local Acrobat well known n the neighborhood able too climb any thing in search of food.

I've been trying to get out for a little fresh air before I start work everyday but with daylight starting so much closer to work time my chances to grab a shot are getting very limited, and I probably have to accept I will soon be doing just long exposure shots.

On my brief morning jaunt routine I noticed that a local wood had become swampy in the middle and I thought had aspects that looked a bit like a mangrove swamp. On a return visit I realised that I must have had my romantic glasses on and that "the swamp" had a more sinister feel about it.

So I was excited when this morning I woke and saw the local forecast showed "FOG". Well what a load of b@ll@cks that was. Not even a thin veil of the misty stuff.! But nonetheless self-discipline dictated I must head out for a short walk in the gloom. And stopped briefly to grab a few shots in the swampy bit in the semi-dark. But came away very unimpressed with my results. And now I'm not sure proper fog will make it any better

So you've got that

Wildfire in your soul

Don't you ever let it go

Make it burn so bright

It's the most beautiful thing to see LOL

É a coisa mais linda de se ver LOL

Looking forward to spring, when the green will become the thing again. Fresh and full, not warm, not cold, you can almost hear the forest growing. And birds will sing again. I'm really looking forward to this music...
