‘She stepped into the hall of mirrors
Where she discovered a reflection of herself
Sometimes she saw her real face
And sometimes a stranger at her place
Even the greatest stars discover themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars find their face in the looking glass’ Hall of Mirrors
This is in the hope that this work gets accepted in the Hypothetical 2nd Annual "Me, Myself & I" Challenge.
Request invite please.
It was a long day of trek with steady up and down through bushes and woods.....although the knees aching and the sack getting heavier, the beauty around was so inspiring that we kept on walking with ease of mind....ahead was my husband and a little more away was my son...

We are never just one — always the presence we show, the way we perceive, and the way we are perceived.
I think this image and the accompanying music sum up the hopefully gentle passing of the turbulent old year (floating away like driftwood) and with it the hope that 2016 will be better for all.
Forgive the artistic licence as the photo doesn't actually bear any direct relation to 2015 or have any driftwood in it that I can see :-)))))).
I hope you like this music. Have a wonderful peaceful New Year.

Surah 97 : Al Qadr
Revealed at Makkah
[1] We have indeed sent down the Qurâan in the Night of Destiny.
[2] And what have you understood, what the Night of Destiny is!
[3] The Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months.
[4] In it descend the angels and Jibreel, by the command of their Lord â for all works.
[5] It is peace until the rising of dawn.
[ Kuala Kerteh, Nikon FM, Fuji Superia 200 ]
Self-portrait in an outdoor mirror mounted on a wall marked by time. The figure appears still, but the image speaks of passage, travel, observation. There is no rootedness, no stable belonging: there is the need to move, to see, to cross. Even in a poor, worn, almost temporary space, the idea of a life directed elsewhere remains intact. Not toward stillness, but toward the world. The reflection records this tension: the body is there, but the gaze is already outside, already beyond, already in motion.
Just as archers fix their gaze upon a distant target before loosing the strings of their bows and sending their arrows flying, so do lovers of God fix their gaze on the face of God, each releasing the soul so it too can fly toward its target where it celebrates its homecoming. All spiritual paths teach us that if we want to find God, then we need to turn directly toward God, come face-to-face with the energies of the Divine, and then surrender to whatever begins to occur as a result of the impact that such an encounter creates in our lives. But where do we turn? And where exactly is it that we find the face of the Divine? Is it everywhere? Or in one particular location only? And can perhaps a particular location, a particular face, serve as the doorway to the face of God?
One way to look upon the face of God is to create an image of God, either a painting or a sculpture, and then gaze at the image for an extended period of time. This practice can be found in the Greek Orthodox Church where icons of saints and personages from the Bible are the only companions that monks and nuns take with them into the isolation of their cells during long periods of retreat.
When one fixes his or her entire attention on these images over long hours and days, the images may come to life and enter into animated dialogue with the practitioner. Many devout Hindus create personal shrines in their homes and temples in which images of a god or goddess serve as the means for personal dialogue with the Divine. It is said that the eyes of these images are the most important of all the facial features, for by creating eye contact with the image a devotee achieves darshan, a sanskrit word meaning "seeing and being seen by God."
Because the eyes are universally acknowledged to be the windows to the soul, when we hold the gaze of another, we hold and cradle his or her soul. This most intimate of acts is reserved as a privilege for people who love and trust one another. Newborn children are natural adepts at the practice and are often able to draw their parents into gazing at them for long periods of time. People newly in love may find that they automatically fall into gazing at each other as a natural expression of the love that they feel. In fact, this unintentional and spontaneous dissolving into the eyes of the other is often the signal that, at long last, they have finally found the beloved for whom they've been searching. When describing this newfound love, people will often rejoice that, finally, they have met someone who truly sees them as they are.

Self-portrait in a mirror with a decorative frame inside a public place. The framing is frontal, essential, direct. The frame gives the image a more formal tone, but the reflection remains concrete and everyday, without particular effects. The figure photographing herself is visible, within an interior space made of passages, light, and real presence. It is a simple, still self-portrait, built entirely on the relationship between the person, the mirror, and the space containing her.
Self-portrait in a reflection filtered through a perforated metal surface, inside a public place. The face and body are visible, even if broken by the grid, and precisely for this reason the image gains strength: the presence remains, insists, asserts itself even where it seems obstructed. The point is not to hide, but to be there. To look at oneself, to photograph oneself, to find oneself everywhere, even below, even inside a structure that divides the visual field. An image about continuing to see oneself, to recognize oneself, everywhere, except in the place where one is forced to be.
Away from maddening crowds, amidst one of the most daunting combination of forests and road of Greece in autumn, a visit in the wilderness is enough for you discover lost parts of your innerself.
Death of nature has never been more majestic...
"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection." Buddha .
Distorting mirror in front of a shop window with the sign of the Italian state lottery game “Lotto.” The image shifts, forms bend, bodies stretch, volumes slide. Multiple reflected presences can be seen—painted figures, reflections, and the self-portrait—all coexisting within the same unstable space. It is not a simple self-portrait, but a composition shaped by chance and by the reflective surface, where reality distorts without disappearing and where the photographer fully enters the scene.
In this image I am portrayed in a triple self-portrait, created in a single shot using glass and mirrors.
It represents the conscious part that creates and thinks, the part that executes, and then my soul — something elusive, like all the souls in the world: existing, but something we can feel and not see. www.flickr.com/photos/barbarabonannobnnrrb/54621334343/
"Who Said You Had To Look Innocent During Spring, Be Your Innerself and Be Fierce and Edgy!"This theme was very FUN to work on! I am actually very proud of this picture, this is what I think Edgy&Fierce looks like! Also look at - ναnillα dreαмѕ ™ -'s Edgy&Fierce Picture( www.flickr.com/photos/vanilla_dreams/5515909882/ ), I'm sure she worked hard on it and it's very GORGEOUS!
...And I don't feel like to party.
I will though try to upload few photos with theme Fall & fruits of automn (included pumpkins ;)
Today, 01.11.2020 I was in da mood to post some art drawings & posted 1 with a beautiful cross, not a declaration of a creed in particular, just a wonderful cross, a very potent symbol of martyr, in the Day of All Saints as myself couldn't care less of Halloween, being just an imported consumistic feast, allthough allways in origin derived from AllSaints to which it is also ethimologically linked.
So, I posted an artwork depicting a very stylish cross, actually it could have also been meant as a celtic or kimber cross, not spending a sole word about religion. It had received several awards in the past, and, guess what, I was kicked out of the group. It's a new born group so I don't mind and, well, better so, always kept the distances from evil that get furious when seeing crosses. That admin must have been pure evil :-P
