In every stone, life finds its way, an emerald pattern breathing between the cracks.
در میان هر سنگ، زندگی راهش را مییابد، الگویی زمردین که میان شکافها نفس میکشد.
in our culture of busyness and distraction, important things get lost: compassion, creativity, and presence. when i'm in a rush or lost in thoughts, i more easily box people into "other." but when i pause, i see our interconnection. it's not my pain or your pain, it's just pain. i can breathe in the collective pain, and breathe out love, acceptance, and compassion—compassion for myself, for friends, for strangers; compassion for the world.
“Sand Patterns” — Patterns in sand dunes, Death Valley National Park.
Our main photographic targets on our late-February trip to Death Valley were Lake Manly and the impressive wildflower bloom. But we did schedule one morning for a visit to the sand dunes. We arrived well before sunrise — it was still to dark to see our way into the dunes. Unfortunately, this was not going to be a morning for grand dune photographs, since morning overcast blocked the sunlight. So instead we focused on more intimate subjects — plants and flowers, the morning traces of the passage of wildlife, and the textures of windblown sand.
I’ll break with the tradition of the these posts and write a bit about a technical photographic topic. A challenge of photographing the sand is that, unless you photograph straight down or fine a suitably slanted bit of sand, depth of field is a problem. I use a solution that surprisingly few photographers seem to apply. I have a tilt/shift lens adapter for my landscape camera that lets me attach a medium format zoom lens and use the adapter’s movements to angle the pane of focus to match the surface of the dunes.

This was taken in March on Glassilaun Beach near Clifden in Co. Galway. I was struck by the fantastic patterns in the sand, which so closely resembled trees it was quite amazing.

I do love the patterns in malachite, and here the use of flash brings them out well.
Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral. This opaque, green banded mineral crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, and most often forms botryoidal, fibrous, or stalagmitic masses, in fractures and spaces, deep underground.
Malachite, with its beautiful, rich green color, leaves no doubt of its importance as a jewel. Its opaque strength and power demands respect, mesmerizing the viewer. Yet the movement, flow and energy in its lines, circles and designs soothe and welcome. It is spiritually inviting.
Inherent in Malachite is lighter green eye-shaped forms or bands on its surface. These "eye stones," believed to enhance great visionary powers, were used to ward off negative happenings. They were stones of security and protection for children, and their most remarkable association today is the ability to warn of impending danger by breaking into pieces.

Settembre è uno dei mesi più belli, per i cambiamenti della natura e per i contrasti, fra una fine di estate ed un principio d'autunno... e le albe portano sempre due o tre versi di poesia.

This is another option for today's Macro Mondays theme "Speckled", but I am not sure if this can be considered speckled.

Flickr lounge: patterns. Traveling and was stuck in airport, so … only with phone, so cannot add to thread….or if someone knows how to do that through the app, let me know.
Te Kuiti NZ - Not being able to get out still so archives are delved into. This is from last year when we traveled south for a close friend's funeral. The rock formations are wonderful. This is LOTR territory! The rock is called greywacke and is mined for roads.
