~ Thank you for visiting my photostream, for the invites, faves, awards, and kind words. It's all much appreciated. ~
I gave it a spiritual mood... it could have been a superhit but I'm not satisfied with some cross color details blurring with the edges... anyway we will call it an awesome shot... no stand and level, a prowess for me! Enjoy...

It was a quiet evening, and my last sunset in Hao...
I have never seen such a beauty since 5 years now.
The purple tones grew deeper as you can see elsewhere in this gallery.
This night the sky was pure and it was the brightest a Man had seen since 4000 years.

Color Work on this fragile Amanu Tuamotu Polynesian Coral... enjoy in HD :)
This shot was taken above water.
The shell necklace equals lasting memories, it is offered to you when you leave Tahiti, by opposition to the ephemeral flower necklace you get when you arrive... It is also a time for cries because they know you won't come back...

SUNSPOT ALERT: The most active sunspot of the year so far is emerging in the sun's southern hemisphere: movie. Sunspot 1024 has at least a dozen individual dark cores and it is crackling with B-class solar flares. This morning, amateur astronomer David Tyler caught one of the flares in action from his backyard solar observatory in England: The magnetic polarity of sunspot 1024 identifies it as a member of new Solar Cycle 24. Its rapid emergence on July 3rd and 4th continues the recent (few-month) trend of intensifying new-cycle activity. This sunspot is the best offering yet from the young solar cycle. Monitoring is encouraged. spaceweather.com/

My prediction (based on CC infos) on June 25th: This image will celebrate the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) of our Sun on July 7 2009...
Fasten your seat belt, you have been warned. nota bene pilottage prediction :)
Those speculations are structured and elaborated here in the comments of the May and June CC have a look here: www.cropcircleconnector.com/2009/june2009.html
No fear, and Love to all my flickr friends!
This image has become my best shot since the last 3 days!!!

A very clever comment on the cropcircle phenomena by a brilliant scientist:
Albert Einstein once remarked that for the human there is no more powerful feeling than that of the 'mysterious.' In fact, he was convinced this feeling for the mysterious was the cradle for all works of science, art, and religion. In light of Einstein's conviction, one might ask: "What is the opposite of a feeling for the mysterious?" The opposite would be the sense that one understands it all. The opposite would be the feeling that one is in possession of a system that explains all the phenomena in the universe. For such a person, the universe loses its appeal for it becomes something we don't really need to pay attention to. The universe becomes an exemplification of a theory that one has already understood. No real surprises are possible, only the working out of a logical system through time. When a feeling for the mysterious is lost, one become s vulnerable to the various fundamentalisms plaguing our planet, each one with its passionate certainty that it has all the answers while every other system is just superstition.
In moments of stress and breakdown, there is a powerful drive in us to acquire answers and explanations. Certainly in our own time when we are dismantling ecosystems around the planet and deconstructing the stable climate upon which our civilization is based, we feel a deep need to know what is real and what is good and how to proceed. This need can become so great we are liable to latch onto one of these simplistic pseudo-explanations just to quell the feelings of fear and doom surfacing in us. "What on Earth?" does not provide any such simplistic explanations. This restraint is one of its greatest achievements. By insisting that the Crop Circles are beyond any easy explanation, "What on Earth?" enables us to make peace with living in the ambiguity of not knowing. This ability to live with ambiguity is related to a sense for the mysterious and together these two may be the most important factors for deep creativity to take place. At the very least, we need to realize that an embrace of ambiguity is a form of humility when confronted by the magnificent complexity of nature.
One of the great benefits of viewing "What on Earth?" is the feeling one can get of wading into the mysterious. Through its balanced and wide-open approach to the phenomena of Crop Circles, the film has the power to ease us out of some of the prior certainties we might have had. "What on Earth?" explores and celebrates the fact of the existence of these designs. And as we are guided into this reflection, we find ourselves considering new ideas about the nature of our universe. We begin to imagine that things might be different than we thought. We might even begin to release ourselves from some of the tired explanations lodged into our minds by the media. But most important of all, as we view the film we might even begin to feel stunned by the simple fact that here we are in the midst of this overwhelming mystery, the universe."

I already miss the warm tropical weather, so much. There's nothing better then standing in bathtub warm water and making images. You get drenched and you just don't care! This location was about a 20 minute bike ride from where we were staying. Think I shot around this location a total of 3 times. Two times for sunset and one time for sunrise. There are so many different forground objects to work with here. This was taken on the same night as my last upload from Mexico.

Hao Tuamotu Glorified Sky November 2005
Did you spot the Bird?
Warning this is a digital processing... Grading in Color™
I could spot this purple coral only once during five years in Tahiti, @ the remotest end of an atoll situated in the center of the Tuamotu Archipelago, Amanu north of Hao. This purple coral was magic to experience sitting along the third shallow pass of the atoll. (see map)
I painted myself this Poti Marara in orange because it is a perfect complementary color of the green emerald waters of Moorea, I painted the sky for you to have a better dream too!

This is my ferry bus, it takes half an hour between Moorea and Papeete, it is not too crowdy at 6 AM...
A very inspiring ambiance for me.
