Pure natural light is the source of inspiration as it also responsible for synchronizing body rhythms. Just think of caricature in which a light bulb suddenly turns on whenever the fair hero got an idea or better to say, inspired. Even in more recent times of cyber world where a light bulb is identified as an emoticon associated with inspiration. However the relationship of light and inspiration isn’t new and it actually goes three thousand years back in time when the Pharaoh Akhenaton the ruler of eighteenth dynasty in ancient Egypt taught his followers to view the sun as the visible source of creation, of life and of growth. For him the sun was a god, the only one god, Aton-Ra. According to the ancient Egyptian glyphs Aton was present as disk of the sun surrounded by rays, and each ray ended in an extending hand. In his poem "Great Hymn to the Aton", Akhenaton praises Aton as the creator, and giver of life. The poem has a striking similarity to Psalm 104 in the Hebrew bible as well to the
Book of Habakkuk (Chapter 3, 4),
His radiance is like the sunlight;
He has rays flashing from His hand,
And there is the hiding of His power
ספר חבקוק פרק ג', פסוק ד
וְנֹגַהּ כָּאוֹר תִּהְיֶה,
קַרְנַיִם מִיָּדוֹ לוֹ;
וְשָׁם, חֶבְיוֹן עֻזֹּה
Observant Jews recite Psalm 104 in its entirety every day during morning services, as well on certain occasions, such as the New Moon, while in the Eastern Orthodox Church the Psalm (or 103 in Greek) is recited in the main liturgical at the beginning of vespers and the all-night-vigils.

The graceful radiance of that of which is in front of everyone, every day and are unaware of its presence.
Is it too much effort to take some time, even a short amount of time, to get on our knees, with the sun on our face, and look upon the vast micro landscape with a child's like imagination and be absorbed into the grand beauty of it all? It is the "small" things that will change your life, when willing to see their greatness and value.
I bet anyone of us can drive down a street at anytime and see someone spraying death upon these so called weeds without a thought of its consequences and the potential loss of seeing something of value.
I know dandelions can be a nuisance at times, however there is almost always some beauty in that which many of us consider unworthy - if we chose to view it in a different light.

Radial gradients projected onto a Savage Universal Translum screen, reflected in water and a nice elegant bottle. I poked the water with the blunt end of a pencil to create the ripples.

Beneath a crown of midnight petals and gold, the flower elf of Thornveil stares with sapphire eyes that burn with ancient fury and grace. Her crimson hair dances on a whispered breeze, framing skin kissed by summer light and marked by inked leaves of heritage. Draped in shadowed silks and crowned with twilight blooms, she is both noble and untamed — a guardian of forgotten realms, sculpted in divine detail. A study in contrast: power and beauty, darkness and bloom, rage and serenity.

Hard to resist these colors... perhaps it's as it should be, as this place holds quite a bit of magic when the weather decides to cooperate :-)

A couple of days ago I clicked Cris Fabri. We had such beautiful light that afternoon, not usual for Curitiba, I was very glad! This is one of my favorite photos of her, I got many, it was one of those few days that everything worked just fine!
The season for choosing the contestants for a popular show in Brazil is about to begin. Cris is one of the hundred thousand girls on the run. This photo is in her video, along with 19 more I clicked.
I wish her luck! :~) and I wish you a great weekend!
