Buddhist Temple of the Heavenly Queen on the banks of Maribrynong River, Footscray. The Queen is facing south and I think she is keeping an eye on Coode Island.
Twas a dream of a God,
And the mould of his hand,
That you shook 'neath his Stroke,
That you trembled and broke.
To this beautiful land.
Here He loosed from His hold,
A brown tumult of wings,
Till the wind on the sea,
Bore the strange melody.
Of an island that sings.
He made you all fear,
You in purple and gold,
You in silver and green,
Till no eye that has seen,
Without love can behold.
I have left you behind,
In the path of the past,
With the white breath of flowers,
With the best of God's hours,
I have left you at last.

Taken with my friend's Lumix (Panasonic?). It has it's problems, but it sure gives a silky-smooth macro, doesn't it?

The Strolling Pond Garden at the Portland Japanese Garden has many great spots to just relax and enjoy the zen. One of the most popular is Heavenly Falls. Fall color this season was very good IMHO.
If it were a perfect world, I would gladly leave my normally unobtrusive watermark off in a corner. But sadly, it is not. And so I am forced to now place it front & center to discourage dishonest people from image theft and cropping watermarks. My apologies to image loving fans everywhere...I trust you will understand. Help fight this by reporting such abuses immediately!

Where The Journey Begins

Concept:
The ordinary appreciation of the beauty of the world does not fully reflect our Creator’s love for it. The brightness of heavenly light functions similarly to X-rays that pass through the human body, offering an experience of heaven beyond human imagination to visualise.
The majestic formation of the universe and its light source far exceed our daily needs for life on planet Earth. The beauty of the seasons and their charming colours awaken our ordinary state of living, reminding us of the beauty of the nature that surrounds us.
The combination of natural light and the formation of nature creates a stage beyond mere performance, revealing the translucent quality of floral petals and establishing a near experience of perceiving the world through a heavenly perspective. It also enables human technical invention to capture and reproduce this near experience of viewing the world as a heavenly landscape.
Photographic shape:
This experience explored both vertical and landscape formats to emphasise the most effective way of delivering the artistic message of each photograph. The photographic process found that the vertical format offers the strongest experience of looking towards the light source from a singular focal point or object, creating the sensation of reaching heaven.
Challenges:
This series of photographs challenges both technical photographic conventions and the apparent impossibility of shooting against the light, confronting shadowy darkness in the process. Rather than avoiding heavily overexposed images with visible light sources, it aims to create picturesque experiences that go beyond the ordinary boundaries of photography.
The hours spent forming these photographic images required looking directly at the light source with the naked eye, causing temporary eye discomfort.
