My Interplanetary Memories
Planet Dokeia
Interplanetary Travel
Hello everyone again from outer space.
I am pleased to present to you a project that came to my mind while traveling in outer space. In this new photo series, I'm going to share with you some photos from my past interplanetary travels that I haven't published. Many of these will be photos you will see for the first time. You will see some photos in their raw form for the first time. This new photo series will take me and you to the past. Maybe we can even go back to when I took my first interplanetary voyage. I hope this new project, which I named "My Interplanetary Memories", has excited you as much as it did me. I don't know yet how many photos I will post in this new photo series. I plan to share as many photos as I can post until we reach the new planet. From the first day of my interplanetary travel, I have accumulated many memories. I was always alone in these memories. I became aware of you as I shared photos from my travels. You started to follow me and share my memories. With this new project, we will actually be returning to our own memories, not to my own memories. You will find yourself there too. I hope this new series will make you as happy as it makes me happy.

It's the same in every churchyard you said
These memories of endless love
Etched out in unforgiving stone
But I would rather you told me now
Rather than when I am cold and dead
I thought we would be together
I didn't think I would be here alone
The stones are more for the living
A promise never to forget
A love to go on
I expect you think me ridiculous
Tidying up the flowers and the edges
As if you were still in bed
But I miss you my darling
So I have to be here instead
A section of the churchyard had been restored recently, and some graves and the inscriptions cleaned. This particular grave belonged to a couple who had passed away in the 1970's.
But somebody had come, after the restoration, and left a token in memory.

Having visited Bodie a number of times, I tried a few different shots this time. This image is taken with a converted IR camera and processed in PS for a vintage look.

Now that fall hits hard (no, I don't like it) I flip through the photos of earlier this year. In may we spent a few days in Athens and found a wonderful simple place to eat. This was taken after a feast of fish and let me refeel the sun and warmth.
Olympus Pen F on Delta 100 in Caffenol Delta.
I took this photo during my morning walk.
The text on the lantern reads, "You like it, don't you? Kaku Highball."
Whenever I see one swaying in the breeze, it really seems to beckon me in. Haha.
Looking at this lantern reminds me of a bitter (literally!) memory involving a bottle of Kaku whisky.
When I was a kid, I used to watch my father drinking it with such delight that I became convinced it must be sweet and delicious.
So, one night, I decided to sneak a taste.
Not knowing anything about how strong alcohol was, I poured a whole glassful—just like it was tea.
I gulped it down like tea, too. It was so strong that I wanted to spit it out immediately, but since I was doing this in secret, I was terrified of getting caught. To destroy the evidence, I forced myself to swallow the whole thing.
Afterward, for some strange reason, I couldn’t stop laughing. Then, finding the fact that I was laughing uncontrollably even funnier, I laughed even harder.
It happened so long ago that I hope the statute of limitations has run out by now!
Needless to say, I never did anything like that again.

Sometimes it's not about the technicalities, but the feeling ... and this one makes me remember the joyful calmness I experience when I travel around Iceland with my man and my camera :)

HFF & Happy Weekend!
Memories long past,
each leaf a page from the past,
dead but never lost.
Having fun with light, leaves and memories long past. Thanks for the favs and kind compliments. They are much appreciated!
