[This is the fifth photo of the Magic Beach "series"]
Mother Nature's treasures!!! 😊
It came as a big surprise. I had been at this beach a couple of years ago. This time, the idea was once again to shoot sunset, with the golden light bathing the peaks of the mountains standing on the other side of the fjord.
But, once I noticed some curious rocks and closed in on them, the landscape/seascape planned shots were immediately forgotten.

So I'm in a bit of a bad mood. Please lend me a ear for a bit of complaining...Yes I'm still in Patna, the capital of the Bihar, one of the states of India. Granted I'm in a half decent hotel, but I'm not spending most of my time in it! Since I'm here for fieldwork for a thesis, I've been spending 12-14hours a day in the hot Bihari sun in a remote village (the temp today was around 35'C I believe). And this is still early spring!
On the journey to the village every morning, which takes about 2 hrs each way, we cross a 8.5km bridge, one of the lanes of which have caved in. But we're development workers, we don't let a little potentially life threatening commute ever deter us! While all this was tough enough, I must've cought a bug or something, and now I'm up till 4:30am with fever and nothing else to do. Hmm..reruns of 24?
Anyways, thought a little humor is in order. This was taken in Nehru Place, a hustling bustling open market of bootlegged and genuine electronic goods. I've been thoroughly warned about not buying anything from here. In the middle of the square, I saw this gentleman come and set up shop and was instantly surrounded by a crowd of interested onlookers. Now, my Hindi's questionable at best, but from the few words I caught topped up by his gestures, the gist of the presentation was that he had found this mysterious material from the foothills of the Himalayas that essentially, after drinking it, would make stallions come to you (the gentlemen) for advice in the matters of the boudoir ;)
LOL a lot of friends are asking if I got the fever after drinking it, lol, I did not in fact take it :P

I know that I said I wasn't going to post anything for the rest of the summer but I was really missing flickr and just couldn't wait that long to post anything. The kids and I have really been enjoying our summer and the weather has been perfect this last week and I was so excited that my kids let me take pictures of them the other night! We leave to in a couple of weeks to go and visit my sister and family, super excited! This is the longest we have gone without seeing them!
I hope that everyone is having a great week!
Followed by a puma (first, I thought it was a big cat) for five minutes, finally I was standing at the border of the fire mountains, looking at the gateway to hell or heaven all by myself.
The song I was listening to was Ed Sheeran "I See Fire", when I processed this picture, it fits it so well.
Happy July 4th Weekend!
The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Le Disney Magic est un navire de croisière de la Disney Cruise Line, opérateur de croisière de la Walt Disney Company.
C'est le premier bâtiment construit dans le chantier naval de Fincantieri de Marghera (Italie) pour Disney. Il est immatriculé aux Bahamas. C'est un bateau de type « paquebot ». Sa silhouette rappelle celle des transatlantiques. Disney l'utilise pour des croisières principalement entre Port Canaveral et les îles des Caraïbes dont Castaway Cay (l'île privée de Disney), Nassau et Saint-Martin et depuis 2005, il effectue des croisières exceptionnelles durant la saison estivale, testant de nouveaux itinéraires : côte pacifique du Mexique, Alaska, Méditerranée, Mer du Nord et Baltique

Can you imagine the moment? There was absolute silence in the forest, a heavy snowfall is falling.
The snow accumulates on the tree trunks and bushes leaning over the river.
The scenery is wonderful, Idyllic, it seems touched by magic. I felt that I could be on another planet.
Note: Contrary to what yous senses may be telling you, this is NOT a B&W image. It is a rather "normal" color photo. The fact is that there was almost no color in the scene...

Everyone should have a magic place...where he/she can focus on the innerself. This was taken after a rain storm...when the forest comes alive.
Scanned from a Fujichrome 100ASA, no processing. From archives.
Everything around her was loud ...loud music, screaming, laughing but she was quiet and stared at the lights as if spellbound. Somehow she also seemed lost in her own world. That touched me.
For me that is the Magic of Christmas ...when someone is so fascinated that they forget everything around them.... ❤️
