film. around 06.
when i was younger and because i don't have my own piano, I used to go to the university music hall all the time and would try to teach myself to play.
At school, a close view of my 3 of my daily essentials: my lesson plan book, a pencil and my camera case (one of the hundreds of things I've crocheted)... : )
Anjan then later tried her skills on making a cross, who has been trying to learn it for years now and has never achieved it until today...

Another view of a question mark butterfly. It gets its name from the small white curly shape on the outside of its wings. This isn't a particularly good example, but I still kind of like the shot. Taken at Wasaga Beach, just stretching my hand out from the deck with the compact DMC-ZS100
"Riding Lessons" by Sara Gruen was an instant choice for me after I read "Water For Elephants". I will be the first to admit. I have this crazy impulsive habit of rushing out to buy every title I can find by a certain author if I love one of their books. "Water For Elephants" was one of the best books I have ever read so I searched Sara Gruen to see what else she had.
The book was beautifully written and is about a world-class equestrienne who was in a tragic accident with her horse at age 18. After the accident, she vowed to never get on a horse again. Many years later, Annemarie's husband leaves her and she looks to make a new start at her dying father's horse farm. She struggles with her teenager daughter, her parents, and her memories of her riding career.

A religious lesson at the Mosque of Ibn Al-Arabi in Salhieh, Damascus.
Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi (1165-1240) is one of the most famous Muslim philosophers. He was born in southern Spain and lived during the golden era of openness and tolerance in Arab-ruled Andalusia. He spent years traveling around the Arab world before finally settling in Damascus, where he completed his greatest book Al-Futuhat Al-Makkiyyah (Meccan Revelations), which is an encyclopedia of Sufism (Islamic mysticism) and Sufi teachings. He was buried in Damascus; and the Mosque, pictured above, was built in his honor by Ottoman Sultan Selim I in 1516.
Throughout his life, Ibn Arabi preached tolerance among all faiths. In one of his most famous poems, he considers his heart "a center of love":
O Marvel! a garden amidst the flames.
My heart has become capable of every form:
It is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks,
and a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Kaa'ba,
and the tables of the Torah and the book of the Quran.
I follow the religion of Love:
Whatever way Love's camels take,
that's my religion and my faith.
Met up with Tim Wood this morning for a sunrise shoot prior to attending a flickrmeet at Margam Park. The sea was wild, but as I'm very familiar with this tiny little bit of coastline I was soon shooting happily away, frame after frame. Then I decided to go for a different spot and climbed down there on those rocks (to the left in this pic). I had the shot of the day lined up when a 10-footer broke about 30ft away from me and rushed over the top of the rocks; grabbing the camera I held it up high and waited for the wave to hit - it did, but thankfully only about 9 inches high by this time but with enough force to smash into the rocks behind me and give me a good soaking. I never did get the shot I was after, I was drenched and decided to call it a day, after all, I had loads of decent shots in my camera didn't I?
On loading onto my computer after the WFC Margam Park meet I was horrified to find all the beach shots were streaky, and then I remembered, I hadn't washed my graduated filter after getting salt splashes on it on Boxing Day! Ah well, never mind, some reasonable shots from Margam to follow!
PS, I've drastically cropped out the streaky parts of this one salvageable photo!
