Not often I post a shot on the same day I took it but today is that day. I had certain photographic plans but the day was autumnal perfection, just a light breeze, beautiful blue skies, just cool and a fabulous atmosphere demanding of a change of plans. So we still went to Sandgate which is only ten minutes down the road and then Woody Point over Redcliffe way and shot the world as it passed by more or less during the best time of year.
No perfection about this shot but you get the idea - the jetty at Woody Point is a place to add your love locks. We liked these which we spread out to get this endearing message. Some diamonds or whatever in the water as well. Love is forever!
As an aside, we did this once in the supposed city of love, Paris but you just wrote on the things in Nikko Pen. I guess if the expensive locks they sold were master keyed, they could recycle them when they faded (yep, I have a suspicious mind)! Sadly for all those proclaiming their love this way, it seems the bridge got so overloaded with metal, parts of it fell into the Seine! There must be a lesson in that somewhere! Probably, love isn't necessarily forever.
A note from google about the bridge problems in 2014, a year after we attached our lock (there was still a little space!)......"A section of the metal mesh on the Pont des Arts footbridge over the Seine in Paris collapsed last night under the weight of the thousands of "love-locks" attached to the bridge by couples. The bridge was immediately closed to the public and was under repair today".

Originally for the Macro Mondays group, but it got bumped from the group pool because of the note. Oh well, I still like the shot.
Today's Random Fact: February 3, 2009
My favorite Tarot deck and the book, "The Hidden Messages in Water", by Masaru Emoto, have changed the way that I view the power of water, and the effects that our words, our attitudes, and our intentions have on, not only ourselves, but on those with whom we interact. This book really was an exciting and eye-opening experience for me. The beautiful pictures and the expressions from which they are formed are nothing short of magical!
"I always stress that energy is vibrations and vibrations are life. Words are vibrations. Words, therefore, are life. Water is a medium that receives and understands even the subtlest vibrations. Water captures vibrations naturally. Even when these vibrations are in characters or letters representing language, water shows us the energy they contain in the forms of crystals. Water is attempting to communicate something to us. Negative emotions prevent the water from crystallizing. Positive emotions allow it to develop in beautiful hexagonal shapes."
"Water makes up 70% of our bodies, and there is little doubt to me that the information in the water goes a long way in the formation of our health as well as our attitude toward the world and the attitude of the world toward us."
-Masaru Emoto, The Hidden Messages in Water
This skink makes clear its displeasure on being approached for a photograph.
Not wanting to stress the animal too much, we took our leave soon after. But not before ensuring this individual safely continued its journey from the road verge into the adjoining bush. Unfortunately vehicles take a toll on these slow-moving creatures.
