♫ 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.
Check out the set as it grows:

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.
Donald Trump

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.
