LIFE AND DEATH
Celebes Sea being an ancient ocean basin and part of western pacific ocean can be a friend or foe, in one time silent and still as a melody and the next as violent and vibrant as a rock song.
This is one of my fave in yesterday's session. Remnants of a once mighty sea spruce, it lies desolated in the shore, with a young tree blossoming in the background, withstanding the might of the waves.
PROLOGUE: It has been a while since I did some serious landscape shoot. Finally a chance to be alone with the sea.
SARANGANI: A Revisit to Paradise
More than a year has past since I last visited this place, with more than 3,000 kms of coastal area facing the mighty Celebes sea. My last visit has enabled me to capture memorable landscapes that have given me awards and recognitions. Truly this revisit is special.
A 45 minutes travel from Gensan, I set out to capture hopefully, enduring and timeless landscapes.
Blessed with a golden light and mighty winds with crashing waves, it was a perfect scene.
These are my takes on my first day in this landscape utopia.
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer. 🍃🍃

And then they said I would be lonely. But that's not the point.
If this - with You - is "lonely," then it's more than enough. #sweeterpoetry

“Learning became her.
She loved the smell of the book from the shelves, the type on the pages, the sense that the world was an infinite but knowable place.
Every fact she learned seemed to open another question, and for every question there was another book.”
— Robert Goolrick
This a portrait of one of the locals..his face tells a lot of stories and the war he has seen.
A business trip to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam made me realized how much I missed shooting travel and streets.
Gearing away from my comfort zone of shooting landscapes, I try to wander the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh.
These are my capture of Ho Chi Minh with side trips at Cu Chi and Mekong Delta.

~Be around the light bringers, the magic makers, the world shifters, the game shakers. They challenge you, break you open, uplift and expand you. They don't let you play small with your life. These heartbeats are your people. These people are your tribe~ Unknown.
Gosh what a summer it has been...Actually, What a year it has been!!! These words pretty much sum it up for me and I've done exactly that..Those 4 sentences, I'm doing and really amazing things are happening. You may not be able to visually see it but I know. Back to school tomorrow and throwing myself back into my Project 52 which I need to get back on track, lots of wed-editing and a trip to the doctors to see about my painful hips..Lots of cuddles welcome. Keep you posted about that! Abi xx
The majority allowed the dogma. They idled and retreated into nothingness where they will stay.
Others wouldn't comply. These individuals grew in one way or another.
Disconnected from the irrelevant, they too remain faceless, but by choice.

“Nietzsche also proposed a second kind of tourism, whereby we may learn how our societies and identities have been formed by the past and so acquire a sense of continuity and belonging.
The person practising this kind of tourism ‘looks beyond his own individual transitory existence and feels himself to be the spirit of his house, his race, his city’.
He can gaze at old buildings and feel ‘the happiness of knowing that he is not wholly accidental and arbitrary but grown out of a past as its heir, flower, and fruit, and that his existence is thus excused and indeed justified'.”

“Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hills, I cut my way first through a foot of snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under my feet, where, kneeling to drink, I look down into the quiet parlour of the fishes, pervaded by a softened light as through a window of ground glass, with its bright sanded floor the same as in summer; there a perennial waveless serenity reigns as in the amber twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabitants.
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”
— Walden (1854) by Henry David Thoreau
(Chapter 16: The Pond in Winter)
☾ “I have noticed that when all the lights are on, people tend to talk about what they are doing – their outer lives.
Sitting round in candlelight or firelight, people start to talk about how they are feeling – their inner lives. They speak subjectively, they argue less, there are longer pauses.
To sit alone without any electric light is curiously creative. I have my best ideas at dawn or at nightfall, but not if I switch on the lights – then I start thinking about projects, deadlines, demands, and the shadows and shapes of the house become objects, not suggestions, things that need to done, not a background to thought.”
