Preikestolen is a steep cliff which rises 604 metres above the Lysefjorden. Atop the cliff, there is an almost flat top of approximately 25 by 25 metres.
The hike to Preikestolen from the closest car park is very steep and takes 2–3 hours. The path starts at an elevation of about 270 metres above sea level, and climbs to 604 metres. Though the vertical drop is only 334 metres, the total elevation gain and loss over the course of the hike is more than one might initially expect, as the path climbs and descends various ridges.
But the hard way is fully compensated by the breathtaking views ...
This picture is an attempt to find a non-trivial view of this one of the most famous places in Norway.
Usually it shows a plateau with people, someone on the edge of the cliff, or view separately. Here I tried to combine the mystique of rock and a view of the fjord ...

Прекестулен - крутая скала на высоте 604 м над Люсе-фьордом. На вершине скалы находится плоское плато размером примерно 25 на 25 м. Поход к вершине от автостоянки крутой и занимает 2-3 часа: начало пути лежит на высоте 270 м и завершается на высоте 604 м. Хотя перепад высот только 334 м, общий объем подъемов и спусков намного более ожидаемого поначалу, т.к. дорога петляет по гребням и утесам. Но сложность пути с лихвой компенсируется захватывающими видами ...
Этот снимок - попытка найти нетривиальный ракурс этого одного из самых известных мест в Норвегии. Обычно показывают плато с людьми, кого-то на краю обрыва или вид скалы отдельно. Здесь пытался совместить загадочность скалы и вид на фьорд ...

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.

I took this at Colony Farms Community Garden in Coquitlam. Photographed with my vintage Pentacon AV 80mm lens. Happy Friday!
HFF!
She's faithful yet detached.
She's committed yet relaxed.
She's loves everyone yet no one.
She's sociable yet is a loner.
She's gentle yet tough.
She's passionate yet platonic.

As we came up and out of the Paradox Valley in Western Colorado, the snow fall got heavier and heavier. Not the greatest shot but one I wanted nonetheless.
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
I feel like I am a ghost
Drifting about in my own memories
Why is it that easy
To wander about in the past
Why is it that each recollection
Has become as painful
As an embedded shard of glass
It now seems routine
That I revisit old haunts
I used to know
Closer than my own heart
I have become a paradox of scars
That l live with each day
It is not only blood
That runs in my veins
But a river of loss

This image is from a series of photographs that I took at Alfriston Church in Sussex, UK, on a cold, windy day in October. I have mentioned before that I felt an unease at this place, and I think the images are a reflection of that. I wondered if anything or anybody could truly be at rest here, as this feeling came from some disturbance older than the church, embedded in the landscape, it seemed to me.
The weather added to my unsettled feeling, the wind swirling around the church, which is positioned on older sacred ground. The landscape seemed to attract as well as repel.
I have chosen to pair this image with Mozart: Requiem in D Minor, K. 626 - I. Introitus. Requiem aeternam. Please click on the link below for an immersive experience.

I went with my friend Raphaël to do a photo session in the different installations at the Arsenal museum in August 2020.
Cultural theorist Stuart Hall’s influential essay « Endoding and Docoding in the Television discourse » is animated as a stream of letters that from time to time assemble to form each sentence of the text. The directions of the text follows the position of the visitor in the room.

En août 2020, je suis allé faire une séance photo avec mon ami Raphaël dans les différentes installations du musée Arsenal.
L’important essai du théoricien culturel Stuart Hall « Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse », est animé et représenté par un flot de lettres qui, de temps à autre, se rassemblent pour reconstruire des phrases du texte. Les mouvements du texte suivent la position du participant dans l’espace.
She is a paradox, a puzzle...
She is faithful and yet detached, she is committed and yet relaxed...
She loves everybody and yet no one, she is sociable and yet solitary...
She is gentle and yet tough, she is passionate and yet platonic...
In short, she is predictable in her inpredictability...
