Tomb of Luís de Camões in Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (Monastery of St. Hieronymus) in Belem, Lisbon.
Camões is considered to be Portugal's greatest poet. He is to the Portuguese language what Shakespeare is to English and Pushkin to Russian. He led an interesting life spanning most of the Portuguese Age of Discovery in the XVI c., became famous in his lifetime, and died of plague in dire poverty. There is a strong indication that bones interred in his grave do not, in fact, belong to him. And the magnificent tomb was made only in late XIX c.

"Past the square, past the bridge
Past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm
Comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
A red right hand
He'll wrap you in his arms
Tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
It took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole
Heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing that you can do
He's a god, he's a man
He's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
Through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
Is a red right hand!"

**I didn't title this picture hoping to grab onto what's happening right now.
I don't know what made me chose these particular words the evening before the world woke up to the hideous assault being perpetrated on the Ukraine.
But words can be potent - guns and missiles only bring blood and death - words are what we, who don't bear arms, have as our weapons.
Words of unity, of love, of support. Words matter.
I hope, with all my heart - that the people of Ukraine will triumph in their fight. My tears are theirs.

This is obviously Delicate Arch. The most photographed arch on the planet. I think that every photographer would like to stand under it at least once in his or her lifetime. This was shot on the evening of day 4 of the Southwest Tour.
Wayne and I decided to head up there despite his reservations about the rumored scene, usually packed with people around the arch preventing a clean shot. He was quite right about the scene. We were hearing stories about the scene before we had even arrived, people were telling us that there were camera crews from the BBC shooting time-lapse videos. Immediately I had a bad feeling, after some time we did arrive in the bowl that surrounds the arch and It was quite busy, even at 10:00pm. The first comment I heard walking into view of everybody was, "I'll be shooting time-lapse from 10-12pm don't plan on doing anything with it. Great I thought to myself, Wayne was right, but we just shrugged it off and and found an acceptable spot to set-up. We went about our business setting up tripods and such when another photographer above us spoke up saying that he had the arch for his light painting technique, which fired up the cameraman from the BBC and he told the guy what-for if you know what I mean. The other broke into a full blown tirade that echoed around the whole bowl including some choice profanities and about how he has a gallery and has been waiting 4 days for this shot. Meantime while these guys were arguing I snuck around the far bowl and set-up one of my light panels and aimed it right at the backside of the arch. When I turned it on I immediately heard some oohs and awes of support from several of the photographers looking through their viewfinders. Then wayne set-up a mini lantern in the foreground, and again we heard noises of acceptance, This aggravated the upper photographer because he was losing control of the mob which were all happy with what we were setting up. Then Wayne says, it's not enough, we need another light from down the cliff on the far back side and then proceeded to pull out a fishing pool. I thought he was losing it, what are you doing with a fishing pool. He attached another smaller panel to it and "fished" it over the edge into the darkness. After some finessing he managed to get it pointed up under the arch and again we heard 'ya that's it don't move it' from the BBC guy. Tempers flared again and I spoke up saying that "we are all adults here trying to get the same shot so lets get along. After talking with the upper guy we decided that at 10:30 we would shut off our panels so that he could do his thing which was random light painting. We had setup a constant lighting scenario which is much better as it allows consistency throughout a series of photos say for a panorama. We did our thing and everybody shot our set-up except upper camera guy. I told him if he switched to a really cool white balance he might like what he sees and he did, When I went to shut off the panels he said we could leave them on while he did his painting, I think he liked what he saw through his viewfinder as well.
When we were done, Wayne and I started to wrap up our gear when the loud upper camera guy asked if he could walk out with us, at 12:00 am in the dark. I was alarmed to say the least, as we headed off down the trail back to the cars, he apologized for his behavior as we walked, and after talking with him for some time I could see his point of view. I'm just glad it all worked out, and as a side bonus the BBC filmed Wayne and I running around the arch setting up the lights. That's they're camera in the foreground.
For more about the story see Wayne's commentary below.

After much love and care for over 4 years, one of my air plants has finally bloomed! 😃
Well, to my surprise, I just learned that air plants only bloom once in their lifetime. 😥
Once blooming is over, baby air plants will be produced, and they will eventually mature into their own “adult” air plant. 😊
Such a beautiful circle of life! 💖
PS: I recognize it's not the best photo. The light was flat yesterday, but I am too lazy to take another one today. Indoor flower macro shots are not easy to take IMO; I applaud all the macro photographers out there! 👏👏👏

In your eyes I'm alive
Inside you're beautiful
Something so unusual
In your eyes I know I'm home
Every tear, every fear
Gone with the thought of you
Changing what I thought I knew
I'll be yours for a thousand lives
I'm free as a bird when I'm flying in your cage
I'm diving in deep and I'm riding with no brakes
And I'm bleeding your love, and you're swimming in my veins
You've got me now
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't lookin' for love 'til I found you
For love, 'til I found you
Skin to skin
Breathe me in
Feeling your kiss on me
Lips are made of ecstasy
I'll be yours for a thousand lives (a thousand lives)
I'm free as a bird when I'm flying in your cage (so lost)
I'm diving in deep and I'm riding with no brakes (no luck)
And I'm bleeding your love, and you're swimming in my veins
You've got me now (now)

Her home was a magical castle, each room holding a different experience that are all so precious in her lifetime. Sometimes, she finds herself walking into a room without any thoughts. Other times, she actually plans to visit certain rooms she is so familiar with, yet there are times when she forgets where certain rooms are located or gets lost in one room with the intention of being in another.
This evening, she was looking for a particular room. This was a room she didn't visit for so many years and was yearning for it. It was the one room where she could be herself completely. A room that held all her desires, dreams and peace of mind. After hours and hours of searching, she thought she could never find it but there was a ringing in her head and a light whispering call singing her name. With much focus she managed to follow the voice until she reached the top most room of the castle.
With a happy heart she pushed the door open and was welcomed with warmth, light and a sweet scent in the air. She floated around, bathing in the darkness that was her solitude, embracing her heart that was always shining from within for others but perhaps it was time that her heart will shine for herself too for a change.
"It is your turn."
This is her time.
P.S. Shout out to the lovely SweetBun, Lya! She gave me an inspiration Image and told me to go crazy trusting me to add my own touch to the artwork. I have never been so inspired in a while to do a solo shot but here I am!
seeing and recording are almost simultaneous. His output is limited only by his ability to see. For this reason it has always been my belief that an experienced photographer, given the means to devote himself entirely to creative expression, should be able to produce a tremendous amount of valuable work.
