* stormy weather * ~ song lyrics ella fitzgerald
www.youtube.com/watch?v=teXOPAFMOp0
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time
Every time
So weary all of the time
When she went away
The blues walked in and then they met me
If she stays away
That old rocking chair's bound to get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Just walk in that sun again
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy Weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time
"I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God."
Abraham Lincoln

Tianchi is an alpine lake in Xinjiang, Northwest China, The name (天池) literally means Heavenly Lake and can refer to several lakes in mainland China and Taiwan. It is an alpine drift lake shaped in the Quaternary Glacier period.
The feeling of the sunshine on your face and the wind blowing through your hair, combined with a swishing petticoat and long satin skirt around your legs is just heavenly.
"In some mysterious and wonderful way you are part of everything, Nephew. And in that same mysterious and wonderful way, everything is a part of you." ~Nippawanock, ARAPAHOE
In order to experience this, we must be aware of how limited our senses are?eyes, ears touch, smell, taste. These senses help us to function in the Seen World. What we see is interpreted by our minds and put inside our belief system, and this can become our reality. But there also exists an Unseen World. In this world we experience connectedness; we experience the mystery; and we experience another whole point of view. If we pay attention to both the Unseen
World and the Seen World, our belief systems will print in our mind a
new and wonderful reality. We will see and know we are a part of
everything. Great Spirit, today, give me the knowledge to know this mystery.
*Tuesday's Gone* song lyrics by Lynyrd Skynyrd
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysP_X_CmE_s
Train roll on, on down the line,
Won't you please take me far away?
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door,
Means I'm leaving my woman behind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My woman's gone with the wind.
And I don't know where I'm going.
I just want to be left alone.
Well, when this train ends I'll try again,
But I'm leaving my woman at home.
[chorus]
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My woman's gone with the wind.
Train roll on many miles from my home,
See, I'm riding my blues away.
Tuesday, you see, she had to be free
But somehow I've got to carry on.
Shot from Colwood BC - a view of a squall over the Olympic Mountains. 5 piece stitched composite shot with a 300mm lens.
I was caught off guard but in the end was prepared enough to capture this image. Only spanning a 3-4 minute time during a long day, a beam of heavenly light brings an intimate moment to the lavishly beautiful Oneonta Gorge.

Massive view of the Commes Des Garcons (one of my favorite Japanese fashion labels) store in Chelsea, NY. The building has the original signage "Heavenly Body Works" on top of the modern, space age cave like entrance into the store.
The store front is beautifully layered & decayed of years of Graffiti & various street artists from Judith Supine, Gaia, Billi the Kid, Elbowtoe to many other hidden beneath the layers.
Heavenly Gardens - live your dream today.
This one has a touch of the dystopian to it. I didn't originally intend to go for the run down look but a lack of sand green tiles led me to mix in some olive green and I decided to go with it. The once state of the art complex has fallen into disrepair. One of the shops in the ground floor arcade is closed for good and garbage has piled up in the alley behind the building.
The build started off as an exercise in trying to build a freestanding exterior stair at this scale. I'm reasonably happy with the result. Though I couldn't come up with a compact way to represent the actual risers.

dear flickr friends. Thank you for your inspiration and support :))
A very rare and special Lunar Eclipse on the morning of the Winter Solstice, 21 December 2010. The last time these two cosmic events coincided was 1638 - cool!!!
Taken from my lawn, tramping through 8" of snow at 7.30am to get the best view before it became shrouded in clouds... it was well worth getting cold toes for :)))

Title - inspired by the hymn 'Silent Night'.
1.Silent night, holy night,
all is calm, all is bright
round yon virgin
mother and child.
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
sleep in heavenly peace,
sleep in heavenly peace.
2.Silent night, holy night,
shepherds quake at the sight;
glories stream from heaven afar,
heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!
3.Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light;
radiant beams from thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
4.Silent night, holy night,
wondrous star, lend thy light;
with the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!

All Saints church, Jesus Lane, Cambridge
Detail from Our Lord Enthroned, by Edward Burne-Jones, 1866
From MY CHRISTMAS SET.
All Saints church was built for the Church of England in 1864 to the designs of the great George Bodley, perhaps the most consistently brilliant of all 19th century English church architects. It is a high Tractarian temple designed in the Decorated style, and is generally considered to be Bodley's masterpiece. Interior decoration includes the work of William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Madox Brown, Charles Kempe and Frederick Leach.
For many years Cambridge's highest Anglo-catholic church, the congregation gradually dwindled as fashions changed and the population of the parish moved out to the big new housing estates. In 1973, All Saints was declared redundant.
Attempts were made to find a new use, but after three years none had been found. So, in keeping with the redundant churches legislation of the time, All Saints was scheduled for demolition.
There was a national outcry, and at the eleventh hour the church was saved, and vested in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust in 1981. Considerable restoration was needed, and the building was mothballed until the early years of the 21st century, when a massive programme of repairs was carried out, although the church still remained locked.
In 2007, theological students from neighbouring Westcott House began to care for the building, opening it to the public most days and using it for daily liturgies. The response of the public, and a renewed interest genrally in 19th Century churches, galvanised the CCT to the extent that a lot of money was spent in turning it into a somewhat controversial visitors centre, with movement-activated spotlights and voice commentary as you wander around, the first of which makes photography now very difficult, and the second of which is merely very irritating.
Morning at Zion National Park, Utah, USA
This picture of the cliff at Zion was taken as part of a multiple-shot panorama which didn't turn out very well. But when I examined the individual shots, this one stood out. I would like to think this photo represents what I think is the most awe inspiring part of Zion--majestic, imposing, heavenly, gorgeous, graceful, unyielding and divine.
OK, I'll admit this is not my best work, but I am posting it for a couple of reasons. First, Matt G and I were trespassing in the dark, having gone over a barbed wire fence to get here because from the road we thought it was a rustic old shack...well, it wasn't really. Then, while we were taking the pic, a spotlight came on at the house in the distance, aimed directly at us and for a brief eternity, we expected to be fired upon - yes, hearts were racing. I think it was a motion activated beam in the end, but we were preparing to receive some buckshot in the rear. So reason #1 was that after all we went through to get the shot, it would've been a pity to so unceremoniously delete it on artistic merit alone..
Reason #2 - I used my handy O-GPS Astrotracer device which moves the sensor in the camera to follow the motion of the earth and allow longer than usual exposures without star streaking. The interesting effect of all this is that with a wide angle view, the moving clouds rendered as rays emanating outward from the shed. The O-GPS also allowed the clouds to render as long streaks while keeping the stars as points. OK, so next time I will take advantage of the effect. Until then, I present, "Heavenly Shed".
BTW, I purposely darkened the shed after seeing it was a newish, Home Depot special and not some decaying old structure.
Oh, and the original concept was to float the Milky Way along the roofline...it's there but by then the clouds had rolled over a little too thick.
2-minute exposure for the stars plus a 1 min exposure for the foreground using the Sigma 10-20

the garden describes this as a representation of "one of the three most scenic spots in Japan where people ascend a hill and stand on a stone viewing the Heavenly Floating Bridge. the actual view is a spit of land in the Sea of Japan with pine trees growing throughout. when viewed upside down, it looks like the trees are floating in the heavens."
after reading this description i was inspired to actually hold the camera upside down. i think i was able to capture a different view through doing it this way instead of rotating the image in photoshop.

Snow day in Tulsa, the first of the 2018/2019 winter season. At least a couple inches of wet snow. Trees and schrubs were very pretty with the light snow build up.
First time it happened in my (not-so-long photography) life ... the moment I spotted her laying on the grass resting, I "saw" the photo in my mind: I knew exactly what I had to do and how to do it. Unbelievable.
Without any doubts, my Most Beautiful Photo ...
Many thanks to the gorgeous young lady to pose for me.
