I miss autumn with its gorgeous colors, now that winter is here. This painting is created from a photo that I took of one of the deer that used my backyard like a sanctuary in the days before we had to fence it off for my dog, Emmy. I don't miss the deer eating my flowers however :)

Monte Pellegrino has always been considered a sacred mountain by the people of Palermo.
On this mountain lived the last years of his life a young noblewoman, a certain Rosalia, who had decided to live as a hermit.
He died on 4 September 1160 or 1165.
On July 15, 1624, while the plague was scourging Palermo, Rosalia's bones were found in a cave in the mountain. The relics were carried in procession and the plague was defeated. Rosalia became the patron saint of the city, the “Santuzza”, and the Sanctuary was built around the cave.

Su questa montagna visse gli ultimi anni della sua vita una giovane nobildonna, tale Rosalia, la quale aveva deciso di vivere da eremita.
Morì il 4 settembre del 1160 o 1165.
Il 15 Luglio 1624, mentre la peste flagellava Palermo, le ossa di Rosalia furono ritrovate in una grotta della montagna. Le reliquie furono portate in processione e la peste venne sconfitta. Rosalia divenne la santa patrona della città, la “Santuzza”, e attorno alla grotta venne eretto il Santuario.

As I age in the world it will rise and spread,
and be for this place horizon
and orison, the voice of its winds.
I have made myself a dream to dream
of its rising, that has gentled my nights.
Let me desire and wish well the life
these trees may live when I
no longer rise in the mornings
to be pleased with the green of them
shining, and their shadows on the ground,
and the sound of the wind in them.

There is something about simplistic photos that just captures my heart. Perhaps it is just the reminder that sometimes in "quiet" or simplistic there is a strength, one that never needs to be explained .. it is just there. . Regardless I just love it .. :). Hope any of that makes sense.
Photo was taken from:
MOTORHEADZ CAFE / Route66, High Level (111, 128, 22)
Yay I finally got here .. :).

give them protection.
If they stand beside you,
give them respect.
If they stand against you,
show them no mercy."
"In a wild embrace of natures sanctuary, the angel surrenders to the forest's allure, bare and unbound. With every step, she plucks flowers, their delicate touch igniting a primal fire within. Adorned in nature's embrace, she weaves a sensuous symphony of petals, intertwining passion and desire, as the forest whispers its secrets to her unveiled soul.

I kept passing by
Every day for years
What could you offer me
I wondered
Only tears
You’re just for weddings
Funerals and fears
But a day comes
When all that disappears
Nothing matters
When all thoughts stop
And you are on the edge of a drop
A precipice of denial
Lean one way
I’ll be fine
Lean the other
No I’m not
I wanted my thoughts
In some sort of order
Help me please
Before it’s all over
I went inside and had a look
I got more than what I bargained for
Unconditional love and much more
A small quiet ask
Was all it took
Conversations about many things
And now I know
You were always listening to me
You knew me
You saw me
Right from the beginning
The beautiful gateway to Glynde Church in Sussex, UK, has not changed for many years, except that the gates need to be refitted to the porch. Money is always needed for restoration. Images from the past in black & white and sepia still show this entrance, so I thought I would take my own in homage.
To see more of my images and poems have a look at my website:

Thousands of years ago ...
He lay ...
but not sleep dear ..
His face is staring ...
and his frozen smile as if to say ...
"we are at war ...
we're fighting against the sun ...
For proof that we once existed ... and are on this earth ... "
It's been thousands of years ...
he is lying ..
but not sleep dear ..
a hole in his chest was still burning, like his spirit ...
His face is staring at the sky ...
and his frozen smile seemed to say
"I'm still so young ..."
That day is a day without a hero ...
a day that no one can help him ...
and he made a story
for this world ...

The 2 photos have been taken 10 years ago at a cats' sanctuary in Cyprus, where a nice lady was taking care of a large number of cats with donations from the public. Cats are everywhere on Cyprus streets, both in cities and villages.
So we're on the harbour again.
Looking south-west to Barangaroo and the ANZAC bridge.
