Salyx, thinking...
She was wondering what camouflage, tools and equipment she would need in order to scale the eight foot, wrought iron bird feeders we’ve erected in the garden.
She knows it’s impossible.
In my garden,
South Carrick Hills
SW Scotland
Finding such impressive places in nature it's one of the reasons why i always start to explore my habitats.
For me, waterfalls are full with impossible powers.
It seems impossible that I took this shot this morning at about 10,000 ft. on the Grand Mesa of Colorado. Look at all that gold! AUTUMN has hit the high country!
This is one of the most famous vistas in the world and it is truly one of the most impossible to photograph. That may sound like a bit of a dumb statement considering how beautiful it is and that you have a very nice flat viewing platform with which to enjoy it. The reason that I say this is because the landscape is so incredible that no photograph will ever truly do it justice. It is a place that you have to experience for yourself. The second reason that I named this image "Impossible" is because in truth this isn't a place that magically formed over billions of years worth of random collisions and dramatic weather events and climate change. When you actually take a moment to just sit and look at this place and drive into the valley while viewing the towering granite peaks and roaring waterfalls all around you, it is clearly evident that there is so much intentionality in this place. See, catastrophic weather events can certainly create some beautiful things, but they cannot do so on their own accord. A flood may have power, but it does not have creativity, precision, intellect, or love. Rather a loving Creator is continually creating even while using broken things and catastrophic events to create something infinitely more beautiful than random chance could ever accomplish. If we actually take a moment to take in the beauty of creation all around us, it is extremely evident that there is a highly intelligent, insanely creative, and unimaginably powerful Creator behind all of this. His name is Jesus!
For those who are interested, an extract from this afternoon's Journal entry.
"At 5 o'clock we were back on the road to Sousousvlei for the afternoon drive, along the way we saw Oryx and Ostriches. We stopped at dune number 45, I gave Ruby my Panasonic camera and she went off to take photos of wild flowers. I took close up shots of the sand dune and its environment.
Next we drove to dune number 47; this was a stunning landscape, especially in the afternoon light. We watched the sun set at dune 47, Ruby took photos of the sunset with one of my cameras, while I used another. Neither of us was interested in sharing drinks and nibbles, we were civil but an impossible gulf had opened between us.
I asked about taking a hot air balloon or a sightseeing flight the next morning. Ruby said I'd never get into the balloon basket and besides the next morning would be windy and unsuitable for ballooning. She was no longer interested in anything I wanted if I wasn’t interested in what she wanted me to do. She had also lost sight of the fact I was the client and she the guide. Her message was loud and clear.
Back at the camp we had Orix kebabs for dinner, tough as old leather and not at all tasty."
remember how it used to be
when the sun would fill up the sky
remember how we used to feel
those days would never end
those days would never end
remember how it used to be
when the stars would fill the sky
remember how we used to dream
those nights would never end
those nights would never end
it was the sweetness of your skin
it was the hope of all we might have been
that fills me with the hope to wish
impossible things
but now the sun shines cold
and all the sky is grey
the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
and all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away
*many thanks to my dear friend Tre Meldazis, that allowed me to work in this peaceful and gorgeous SIM to take the pic :)

Tribute to Hirst's Shark :)
Infos:
"The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" the title of one of the most famous works of the English artist Damien Hirst (1991). It represents a shark as if suspended in a huge formalin aquarium. Not durable, these works deteriorate over time and need to be replaced.
For Hirst, the shark represents both a terrible aesthetic of nature and a figure of capitalism. Hirst is a “symptomatic” artist who speaks to us, in his own way, of the evils of our time.
« L’impossibilité physique de la mort dans l’esprit du vivant », ainsi pourrions-nous traduire le titre d’une des œuvres les plus connues de l’artiste anglais Damien Hirst (1991). Cette dernière représente un requin comme suspendu dans un immense aquarium de formol. Non pérennes, ces œuvres se détériorent avec le temps et demandent à être remplacées.
Pour Hirst, le requin représente à la fois une esthétique de la nature terrible et une figure du capitalisme. Hirst est un artiste « symptomatique » qui nous parle, à sa manière, des maux de notre époque.
Not normally a time when I would choose to go out for photographs, but strong light is needed here to bring out the greens and turquoise colours - not enhanced! The location has been a closely guarded secret by the locals (one woman I know got quite defensive about it until she realised I already knew of the place).

I remember years ago Someone told me I should take, caution when it comes to love, I did, I did
And you were strong and I was not, My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot, I did, I did, And now, when all is done, there is nothing to say, You have gone and so effortlessly, You have won, you can go ahead, TELL THEM!
TELL THEM ALL I KNOW NOW!
SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOF TOPS!
WRITE IT ON THE SKY LINE!
ALL WE HAD IS GONE NOW!
TELL THEM I WAS HAPPY!
AND MY HEART IS BROKEN!
ALL MY SCARS ARE OPEN!
TELL THEM WHAT I HOPED WOULD,BEEEEEEEEEE!
IMPOSSIBLE!, IMPOSSIBLE!

The haloed woman standing between them is wearing a blue robe.
Each attendant is keenly pushing the curtain away, determined to reveal the blue lady"

REVIEW: Sunplus SP5K Series

If the Lincoln Memorial had been built during colonial times perhaps the milky way would have been visible. To be sure it is there every night but with all the light pollution it is entirely invisible today.
I was wondering what it might look like and I have to admit it is kind of colorful. What do you think?
