The sky is a lively witness to waiting
The light shines it rays outwards
For those who see, it shines a beacon in a dark place
It resonates mystery
But the dance moves on without you
Only the rich burn umber smell of time remains
- Alfred Chan
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
Charles Dickens
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!!
For those who have inquired, this formal winter portrait will confirm that Star is doing fine, truly appreciates your abiding interest, and wants you to know that, as with many of you, she is patiently (for a cat) awaiting the first sign of spring... due to arrive in about three increasingly longer months.
Those of you of a certain age who grew up listening to the "wireless" will remember the statement, heard every Sunday afternoon And now for the Hard Word and so the presenter, Paddy Crosbie would introduce the word of the week for some youngster to spell! In our case it is Infirmorum and Morning Mary will have to admit that she never came across it before. As to today's image? The Mater Hospital in Belfast looking new and pristine but with some delightful posters, new and worn, to add some interest for the long sighted!

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.

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!

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!

Happy May the 4th be with you, 2021! To celebrate Star Wars day this year, I decided to join the public BrickzLab may the 4th collab. #bzlmaythe4th
My moc is heavily inspired by the legends Empire comic Outnumbered, where we see a small legion of imperial troops try to cross a jungle on an alien world. I can highly recommend this comic to those who are interested! A huge thanks goes to

I've not posted an HDR in a while, this is a extreme HDR, the colour is not too pushed, but the dark tones are one of the techniques I use to create 'Mood'
I've posted the basic HDR settings below.... David and I are planning an HDR workshop - same format as our Portrait one (which is canceled due to weather), please visit our group and discus ideas.
Thanks everyone.
Enjoy.

About The Pacific Ring of Fire
The Pacific Ring of Fire (or sometimes just the Ring of fire) is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40,000 km horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. It is sometimes called the circum-Pacific belt or the circum-Pacific seismic belt.
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire. The next most seismic region (5–6% of earthquakes and 17% of the world's largest earthquakes) is the Alpide belt, which extends from Java to Sumatra through the Himalayas, the Mediterranean, and out into the Atlantic. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the third most prominent earthquake belt.

"Ferocious with those who are ferocious", the motto of the Bufalo family, at Palazzo del Bufalo alle Fratte (a.k.a. the Palazzo Del Bufalo Cancellieri), in Rome, Italy. The animal is thought to be a lioness.

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.
Back when I was a kid and my mom was teaching me to identify warblers, this one was called simply "Myrtle Warbler".

those of us in The 12.12 Project are helping to profile Polaroid's newest film today, their absolutely lovely Blue 600 -- and the irony is, it's raining today and all this snow is melted, but I'm glad to have caught it while it was falling...

This was one of those scenes that jarred me back to reality as I wandered about in a local cemetery. It's often the simplest of things that have effect me this way. Here it was solemn figure of a soldier standing vigil over the grave of a fallen Marine. Arm frozen in eternal salute. The dress uniform splattered with the ubiquitous spray of grass and weeds kicked up by an errant weed whip. I felt a presence here. Not in terms of a ghost or spirit. But a weird sort of heaviness, contemplating a life cut short by someone devoted to service. Someone probably much younger than me. Tight knit bunch these Marines. Attended a Marine wedding a few years back, my cousin married a young Marine corporal. At the reception I noticed a small table near the entrance, set up for just one person. I was told this was the 'missing man' table. It was a tribute to fallen comrades and a custom at receptions and official events. The night was filled with joy and laughter but I found myself pre-occupied with the empty little table and what it signified. And how the young Marines in this room had ensured that the table be present. Lots of respect there. It's one of those moments that has never left me. I thought back on the little table as I contemplated this little statue. And now the two images are forever intertwined.
