Many thanks to those who have already supported this project in the first 24 hours. There is still a long way to go, but with your help we will succeed!
John Berger said in his famous BBC series from 1972 "Ways of seeing" that the most important thing about paintings themselves is that their images are silent, still. The project PLACES WITHOUT NOISE came precisely from this. That the most important about those photographs was that they communicated something totally different from what they represented. These photos were no longer a window that showed me a memory or a moment already lived, otherwise they are an open door to a new and unknown place.
Thanks for supporting and sharing!!
In those days when our hearts were true
Nothing could change that strange debut
Our dreams were steadfast it’s what we knew
The future was clear it would see us through
In those days when our hearts were true
Time and tide played a changing game
We were unable to be the same.
In those long days when we lost our aim
The spinning reel of time overcame
Then there was that day of acclaim
It was all untrue that much we knew
But some took a long and different view
Much was said and taken to accrue
against our way, our loss then grew
In those days when our hearts were true
The break then came, the fracture made
The split that placed us in the shade
Our fright was such and truth mislaid
Nothing could reach such a tirade
As strangers then we were unmade
No longer then with hearts of truth
Abandoned there without our youth
The day was dark and I moved south
And I was marked then as a sleuth
In those days with hearts untrue

Those who try to read people like books - finds people on the way most magnetic. Different faces, expressions and activities of people seem most attractive to them among all the views around the street. Actually, because of this admiration or interest, I like to - capture the portraits of persons I meet on my way. Sometimes I like to know the stories of their life. And you know, all the people around the globe are amazed to the population density and variety issue of this country. And I am amazed too while going through numerous stories every day - on a new way, with new faces. How much of these experiences of seeing and knowing can be shared? Still, let some pictures, some stories persist - in the folds of time.
Those are the names of those two peaks.
Between them on an amazingly beautiful spot sits the Tegernseer Hütte (an Alpine Club hut). We did not go there on this tour, but I promise I will get a shot of that one on the next possible occasion.
Near Tegernsee, Germany.
Ventured down to Seaham to capture those famous wheels, needed waders as the waves got the better of me and breached my wellies no camera equipment was harmed during the taking of this shot!
Those trees! Those trees! Those truffula trees! All my life I'd been searching for trees such as these! The touch of their tufts was much softer than silk, and they had the sweet smell of fresh butterfly milk!
Those tunnels and and columnar basalt 'halls' along the coast of Arnarstapi are thickly populated with kittiwakes. You can see them very close but you'd break your neck if you got too close. Snæfellsnes, Iceland

This is an image capture looking to the north in the parking lot area of the General Grant Grove of Kings Canyon National Park. While I didn't intend to capture that one person walking in the lower left-hand portion of the image, I found that having that person actually added to the image because it showed just how immensely huge the Sequoia trees and nearby evergreens and redwoods were! Even with the low clouds and drizzling type weather, it was definitely an amazing walk amongst the giants!
To those big, fat, juicy, live Mealworms that all the birds are loving right now (since the ground is frozen)!
Did you know an average bird has 10% body fat that is used to help keep warm, and for energy? Each day they have to eat enough food to equal that and some to spare (in cold temps)...and mealworms supply that instant 'meal-on-wheels' energy!
I would be absent all day long, I shall visit your stream tomorrow.
I would like to thank ECSTATICIST , IGORB81 and Eyal Golshani for their testimonial that I have just discovered, kisses to them
A nice day to all and a good weekend to those who shall not be there
For everyday superstars through generations.
My dear Xennials, Gen X and early Millennials if you take a look back for a moment and see all the life transitions you had to go through, those shoes are just complementary for what you already are. Keep going and take care!

If you are truly a dedicated photographer, at some time or another you've joined a photo group and attended a workshop. You know the drill.....up before the break of dawn; gear packed and ready to go; the caravan to the 'special location', where you attempt to arrive before non-participants of your group in order to claim the best spot; the waiting for that spectacular light to emerge and light the distant wonders of nature..
In this image, you see participants on a 'Glacier Workshop' sponsored by Ledra and Jeff Woodlee of "Natural Connections Photo Workshops" based out of Georgia. Held at spectacular locations throughout the USA, these informative and friendly workshops should be a real consideration for those of you who enjoy the companionship of other photographers and who want to hone your shooting skills. **see: naturalconnectionsphoto.com **
BTW: 'this' image was shot with my great little Panasonic LUMIX LX100 camera as my big gear was on its tripod in the spot I so proudly claimed at the edge of the lake!
Those pesky Cupids are back to cause lovey-dovey havoc across the SL grid. Get ready to slay them by smashing, smooshing, and squishing them before they infect you with love! 💘
The MadPea Cupid Catastrophe 2022, a two-week grid-wide hunt, is coming soon! Stay tuned for more info!
For those unfamiliar with Harry Potter, the dementors are ghost-like creatures whose "kiss" kills humans by sucking out their souls, a very dark concept. Just being near one induces intense feelings of misery and despair, so they serve as the jailors of the wizarding world. And it was originally thought to be a series of books for children?
Found in tide pool ice.

For those who follow me, you know my love and affinity for B&W. I attended the Brooklyn's Dumbo Art festival and did the tourist thing of taking a beautiful NYC sunset. By sheer luck, this woman sat down in front of me.
The expression of the cat is compelling to me. This lonely cat was outside a hotel somewhere in the American Southwest. Photoleap Cloud Wanderer was used to create this image.
For those not familiar with Australian colloquialisms, an Aussie Battler is someone who does it tough and struggles to achieve some goal despite the odds. In this case, the Aussie Battler is a guy and his van who sets up every day (and has for years) in the approach to Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. As you can see he specialises in pies and peas, that means meat pies with a generous spoonful of hot mushy pies on the top! A great favourite of mine I must admit.
Around Australia how they are served up and what they are called differs a bit from state to state. I have waited for years to take this shot and finally achieved it today. If you are in Queensland and up that way, keep an eye out for him on the right hand side of the main road into Caloundra.
