I came across this field whilst out on a bike ride yesterday. From a distance I could just see shiny plastic. It was only when I got closer that I saw the very photogenic parallel lines. I was also lucky to get a very atmospheric sky with rain approaching. It was taken just outside Sherborne in Dorset.
My life as parallel universes.
Everywhere I choose to go, there is something
happening in a parallel route.
Something that I miss.
And I am not there….
What have I missed? What is there in the
unchosen route?
And with that in mind, instead of enjoying
my chosen route, I'm busy trying to guess
what I'm missing.
So – I will re choose.
I will choose this time to focus on my route.
To be aware of what I gained by taking it.
This is my way of life now.
My choice – to cherish what I have.
The rest is nothing but illusion.
"What's the immaterial substance
that envelopes two,
that one percieves as hunger
and the other as food.
I wake in tangeled covers,
to a sash of snow,
you dream in a cartoon garden,
I could never know.
Innocent imitation, you are cast in gold,
your image a compensation for me to hold.
Parallel lines, move so fast,
toward the same point,
infinity is as near as it is far."

I've been wanting to head back to Wynnum to photograph these poles for quite some time but either the tide was wrong or I was working so yesterday afternoon I decided to give it a go. To begin with I was knee deep in water and by the time I was finished I was standing in mud.
When I was coming out of the water a couple who had been walking along the esplanade called out to me to find out what this crazy lady had been doing. They told me that joggers, walkers and cyclists all were watching me wondering what on earth I had been doing. This my friends is what I was doing and unless you get there literally you don't get the shots. Ahhhh at least I gave them all something to talk about. :)

Night photo of a vintage automobile from a decommissioned WWII airfield. Light added from a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 flashlight during the exposure. Photographed before the moon rose, it was rather dark when creating this photo. This began as a cold windy night, and turned into an absolutely beautiful evening, and as a bonus, mosquito-free. Feel free to share.

Here in Fairmont, Minnesota wedged between George Lake and Sisseton Lake, two railroads built their respective lines in the narrows and crossed Center Creek. A Union Pacific manifest freight passes between the lakes on the Northwestern Railroad grade that eventually was acquired by the UP in 1996. In the foreground is the Milwaukee Road, still used by Harsco Rail as a test track for rail equipment. The two railroads used to parallel each other from Fairmont to Welcome, but that is no longer the case. Canadian Pacific, the company operating the Milwaukee Road line (formerly DME/ICE), crosses the UP here in Fairmont then uses trackage rights from a switch downtown and west to Welcome before continuing towards Jackson, the namesake of the Jackson Subdivision.

Creating this photo came about intuitively, albeit, several steps and debate. The artistic process with self conceptual or expression can drown me for days before I resurfacing feeling like a jigsaw puzzle placed back together.
It began with myself, standing on a fallen tree gazing through a multitude of greens, but quickly grew into the idea of an alternate reality, a parallel universe, where I find myself now standing across from my 'other' self.
The idea and or theory of a parallel universe (or more!), and there being another carbon copy of myself, is a wild and somewhat obsessive concept. Working through concepts with my art is a gratifying and exciting process that helps with my insatiable curiosities.

I discover, there within the forest, we are no different. We exist on different dimensions and yet we walk the same path and explore the same mysteries. We feel and sense in the same manner. We find ourselves when we lose ourselves, in the silence of nature. Perhaps, we have always found each other, (our other self), there, just beyond our physical senses.
There is another presence...the air parts like a tiny ripple. The trees stir just the slightest, a whisper, a breath, the leaves quiver. She appears like a ghost in the night. Feathers graze the space that surrounds her pushing her forward with such grace.
She is our messenger. She is our guide through realms and shadows. She who flies silent and stealthy, she who sees all, she who appears again and again in all forms. She who we search for, together, there in-between worlds. She is our link, our connection. She is who transports us through time and space, dreams and multiverses. She is who binds us together.

I began to wonder are we not the same? The owl, myself and my other? Our skin just a veil we slip through like the parting of a curtain. We are parallel and yet forever intersected.

Winter in Minnesota. Parallel lines. Crossed pieces. A dollop of snow on the vertical post. Snow in the background. Beauty is sometimes where you find it.
