Feel a sense of calmness and peaceful being alone in the woods one misty morning...

Stormy skies over Glacier's Two Medicine Lake. First snow of the season the night before. Nice balance of autumn gold and winter to come.

Never Laughs Woman mountain, Painted Teepee Peak and Mt. Sinopah hold up the clouds.

A few more shots from this morning walk in comments.

Cool thoughts on a muggy day.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

First long exposure trial (ND1000) with my new XT2 camera at the "Westensee", nothern Germany.

Adriatic coast of Croatia. Beautiful

I love the quiet and solitude of morning and I also believe my "fine feathered friend" does also.

Another peaceful evening in the Ozarks.

I was out early this morning taking some photos. The sun was just peaking over the trees and the fog was drifting peacefully over Twin Lakes. Then I saw this lady fishing. We talked for a bit. I asked her if I could take her picture. She gave me permission. I showed her the picture and asked if I could email a copy of it to her. Somehow I was not surprised by her response... "I don't go on computers."

Matsuo Basho (1644 – 1694) is considered the greatest Japanese haiku poet. "Winter Solitude" is one of his most-loved winter haiku poems:

Winter solitude –

in a world of one color

the sound of wind.

Setting off before sunrise alone and on the sea

Another very famous photo stop on Buttermere in the Lake District.Hopefully I will return here in winter when the single lonely tree is more isolated out in the lake. Still an amazing place with lots of opportunity with its beauty.

Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your won presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement.

"Voyager"

Watching satellites

Lying in the grass

I know our days are numbered

But you don't know that I feel like that

You don't hear solitude calling me away

And the hardest part is part of me wants to stay

I won't wait for you

I'm already gone

Like moonlight leaves with the dawn

I won't wait for you

The night's too long

I'm a voyager and I voyage on

Clouds move like paint

Changing in the sky

If the wind is on my side

Might leave tonight

I hate to disappoint you but I've always been this way

And I know you need me here but I know that I won't stay

No, I won't wait for you

I'm already gone

Like moonlight leaves with the dawn

I won't wait for you

The night's too long

I'm a voyager and I voyage on

I'm a voyager and I voyage on

No, I won't wait for you

I'm already gone

Like moonlight leaves with the dawn

I won't wait for you

The night's too long

I'm a voyager and I voyage on

I'm a voyager and I voyage on

On
