Same Mistakes ♫ - James Blunt

 

Immortality

by Lindsay Laurie

 

Mortal are us human kind

seeking peace with baited breath.

Immortality imparts the mind

to believe there is no death.

Immortality is really history …

writings from the then times wealth.

Replayed in a similar mode

as history repeats itself.

Each tiny fraction of the puzzle,

is ancient generations text,

leads the way to consider

what right now is needed next …

Each year reaches new horizons,

the past has been addressed -

and we live our life believing,

our time is the very best.

When Great Trees Fall

by Maya Angelou

 

When great trees fall,

rocks on distant hills shudder,

lions hunker down

in tall grasses,

and even elephants

lumber after safety.

When great trees fall

in forests,

small things recoil into silence,

their senses

eroded beyond fear.

 

When great souls die,

the air around us becomes

light, rare, sterile.

We breathe, briefly.

Our eyes, briefly,

see with

a hurtful clarity.

Our memory, suddenly sharpened,

examines,

gnaws on kind words

unsaid,

promised walks

never taken.

 

Great souls die and

our reality, bound to

them, takes leave of us.

Our souls,

dependent upon their

nurture,

now shrink, wizened.

Our minds, formed

and informed by their

radiance,

fall away.

We are not so much maddened

as reduced to the unutterable ignorance

of dark, cold

caves.

 

And when great souls die,

after a period peace blooms,

slowly and always

irregularly. Spaces fill

with a kind of

soothing electric vibration.

Our senses, restored, never

to be the same, whisper to us.

They existed. They existed.

We can be. Be and be

better. For they existed.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.Computer-generated imagery (CGI for short) is the application of computer graphics to create or contribute to images in art, printed media, video games, films, television programs, commercials, videos, and simulators. The visual scenes may be dynamic or static, and may be two-dimensional (2D), though the term "CGI" is most commonly used to refer to 3D computer graphics used for creating scenes or special effects in films and television...

 

Thanks for the favs and comments folks....

I really appreciate the visits. I look forward to visiting many of yours.

For a brief moment in time, looking south, the midnight sun interrupted this monochromatic dream. As trolls of the past remained in hiding, I furtively captured this ephemeral moment whilst deliberating on the exact temperature of that passing wave. I measured it as cold :)

 

The pink band proved a welcome addition, but I was already taken by this moody, stormy scene as is. The view is towards the island of Dýrholaey (and it's arch) which is a renowned nesting ground for our feathered friends, namely the puffin. Nice to have a famous backdrop, but really this is all about the mood, the black sand and the cold monochrome tones which to me appropriately conveys how Iceland affected me.

 

Please take the time to leave a comment, an impression, a thought, always appreciated.

There is a big clump of Penstemon heterophyllus next to the Moore Creek Trail. It positively glows from a distance – you can’t miss it! Bunchleaf Penstemon or Foothill Penstemon is a perennial found only in California.

Taken overllooking Port Talbot steel works from Morfa beach last summer (such a long time ago now). I went back to the same spot a week later and these flowers had completely withered away.

This is the Christmas card I sent out in 2002. I modeled the cats, dog, and human characters in Poser v4, then imported them into Carrara Studio where I added the sleigh, house, trees, and snow. Then I used Adobe Photoshop to add pictures of our cats, dog, and selves.

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You will never be ignored again. Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

Landscapes at 600mm.

 

Who said you need a wide angle lens to shoot landscapes. I shot this with a 600, just this morning. I wanted to compress the perspective and make this fairly distant mountain look much bigger. Seeing Saguaros and snow in the same scene is a very rare treat. Obviously it is quite warm down here around Phoenix. Only once every year or two does the snow make it all the way down to the Superstition Mountains. In the background here is Four Peaks.

Yesterday I decided to head out with Mel Sinclair to find some storms out West. Predictions had been for a severe day. We saw a front coming from Warwick and decided to head that way using the radar only - by luck we decided that going over Cunningham's Gap would be a bad choice and instead headed around Lake Moogerah. Here it caught up to us and it intensified over the mountains. Staying well back we decided to head away from the storm and watch from a distance. It continued on its path to eventually come straight through the Brisbane CBD where it dumped heavy rain, hail and produced a nice rainbow afterwards.

 

This is the storm cell about to cover the Brisbane CBD. We got some hail and we just made it here in time to capture it - it was certainly a fast moving cell.

Savoir bien voir lorsqu'on voit,
