Let misty autumn be our part!

The twilight of the year is sweet:

Where shadow and the darkness meet

Our love, a twilight of the heart

Eludes a little time's deceit.

― Ernest Dowson

The lake at Melbourne has always been a place where I have found an inner peace, a bolthole to unwind, especially at sunset, that's why it features so many times on my photostream. Last Saturday evening would be probably be up there near the top when it comes to favourite moments there. As on many occasions when I'm out photographing alone, I took my headphones along to listen to my favourite music whilst the light hopefully delivered, well it well and truly did, with an amazing sunset which was even more special because the emotive track "Perfect Life" by Steve Wilson just happened to be playing on my music player just as the sunset was at its most stunning, its quite something when so many senses are enthralled all at the same time.

While we waited for the time our train was due to take us up to the summit of Snowdon, we had a delightful ride on a steam train round this lake - but flat, and shorter than the one up Snowdon, naturally. It was really lovely ! Fine views of the surrounding Snowdon range. Everything had that emotive 'steam train' smell ! Llanberis village itself has a wonderful atmosphere - such a gentle and happy feeling. Everyone was so friendly towards Margaret and me. We met a delightful and intelligent elderly man who owned the local craft shop who didn't 'push' us to buy anything. I don't think he'd cut his hair or his beard for about 10 years. Wonderful ! A cafe attached gave us the opportunity to sample a cup of tea (served properly with cups and saucers) and Welsh ice cream.

The Llanberis Lake Railway is a 1ft 11¹⁄₂ inch narrow gauge railway that runs for 2.5 miles along the northern shore of Llyn Padarn in north Wales in the Snowdonia National Park. I realise that the geotag isn't very accurate, so if anyone's interested in a trip:

Address: Gilfach Ddu, Padarn Park, Llanberis, Caernarfon LL55 4TY.

I think this concludes my posting frenzy. ;) Sorry about that! I had several images that I wanted to post before November rolls around on Monday. Thank you so much for coming along on the ride with me. x

A Flickr friend commented that Olivia has amazingly graceful hands. As an accomplished dancer her hands act to convey emotion. When interviewing her for the modeling position, we discussed how dancers and photographic models both attempt to do the same thing.

Seeing this large increase the impact. Thank you.

Not sure how or why i arrived at this point in processing this image but like the shore-line interaction going on ... it"s always subjective so there is no right or wrong ..

the girl falls to pieces.

this is the most honest and vulnerable portrait i've taken of myself to date. it's always been difficult for me to want to photograph myself crying, because no one wants to take out their camera and document themselves at their lowest. well, i finally did it. and then i stared into my own face, took a breath, and felt something resembling relief.
