"The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyong reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need, if only we had the eyes to see."
Edward Abbey
One of my artworks from the Exhibition FRAGMENTS showed at our new Gallery THE EDGE
"Bifurcations! Bifurcations!
The events troubled me
I’ll never come back again
You know...tempus fugit...tempus fugit
Change! I need an A-Change!
Abandon the sterile paths
Seek the light! Seek the light!
You know...tempus fugit...tempus fugit
Go on! Go ahead!
Over all the miserable things
In the true reality
Jump the gun! Jump the gun!
You know...tempus fugit...tempus fugit"

The Universal Mantra - The sound of inhalation and exhalation. The silent sound of life. It is the chain that links every moment from birth to death.

The Basilica of Saint Dominic & Porto Salvo stands as a beacon of Baroque beauty in the vibrant city of Valletta, Malta. This architectural marvel is a must-visit for any traveler seeking to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Maltese history and culture. As you step into the basilica, you are greeted by a breathtaking interior adorned with elaborate frescoes, intricate woodwork, and stunning altarpieces that tell stories of the past. The soft glow of candlelight enhances the spiritual atmosphere, inviting visitors to pause and reflect amidst the artistic splendor.
The basilica is not just a place of worship; it serves as a cultural hub, embodying the historical significance of the Dominican Order in Malta. Here, you can delve into the history of the church and its role in the community, including its dedication to Porto Salvo, the protector of sailors. The serene ambiance makes it an ideal spot for contemplation, and the echoes of prayers and hymns resonate throughout its hallowed spaces.
" Och! but Im weary of mist and dark,
And roads where theres never a house nor bush,
And tired I am of bog and road,
And the crying wind and the lonesome hush,
And I am praying to God on high,
And I am praying Him night and day,
For a little house-a house of my own,
Out of the wind and the rains way "
{ Padraic Colum 1881-1972 }
This poem is called " The Old Woman of the Road " and I learned it as a child in school.
After the famine was over in 1850, there were upwards of one million people homeless who just drifted from place to place depending on the goodness of strangers to help them. This poem is based on one such woman who longs for a little house of her own, "Out of the wind and the rains way"
I think its very sad and rather beautiful. We should think on these things in todays modern society and the many homeless immigrants who come to our countries seeking help and a better life.

This little friend was playing hide and seek with me until I could finally get a photo :-D.
Another beautiful day hiking at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge, Portland. Oregon.
Cypress tree roots that have been exposed by ravaging floods seek deeper pools for sustenance.
It is said that each tree drinks 600 gallons of river each day. Not so much in the winter when they are dormant, but when they put on new needles in the spring the river level drops considerably.
Out for the day in eastern Oregon, and you can't be out there without doing some light caving. I am trying to work people into my images a little more and thought this would be a great opportunity. This is a three image blend, just to get some detail in the rocks and tame the highlights. Let me know what you think. This is in Arnold Ice cave BTW.
We've had so little sun this summer that I went looking for brightness in the archives! Here, looking from the shade of the trees into the dazzling light of the summer sun
