Last rush of the day by chasing storm and light to get to this spot. The hike included strong wind, sand in the eyes and drenched clothing and backpack. Glad that I visited this spot several times before and knew exactly what to do in the last remaining minutes to capture the moment.

This tree under some interesting clouds along a local walk on the South Downs.
Dedicated to the ephemeral spirits who have reached their final destination.
Is it the thrill of the journey, the fulfillment of the dream, or both that make life complete?

This one nestled amongst the sand dunes and grasses of Newborough Beach, Anglesey.
Windy days are a sensory experience in many ways. I love being outdoors to absorb the energy and motion of wind. Love to feel the unseen pressure on my skin. Windy days in the cemetery provide all of that, but with an added touch that is somewhat unsettling. It has to do with seeing motion where there normally is none...where none is expected. That's all fine and good in my backyard. But here it always seems to catch me off guard. Not in the sense that I'm surrounded by ghosts (I am), but more to do with being the only living soul in the cemetery at any given time (I usually am). It can be startling to suddenly notice someone else there. More than once I've momentarily freaked out to find someone in close proximity while I was so engrossed with photography that I lost situational awareness. "How did this person get so close without my noticing?" I wonder. Funny part is I'm usually highly in tune with my locale while shooting; it's just that sometimes I drift off in thought, as I am right now...
Back to the wind. On this day I noticed small cyclones dancing about the cemetery. Miniature tornadoes is how I think of them, sucking up leaves and debris in a very small area and dragging them along for a ride before dropping them as they suddenly dissipate. Determined to photograph one of these whirlwinds, I set up on the edge of a large pile of dry leaves. I sat there for twenty minutes or more in hopes of a wind gust. Just as I decided to quit, a wind puffed up and a leaf cyclone appeared right in front of me. The effect raised goosebumps on both arms. Not from cold but from eeriness. It felt like getting breathed on by a ghost. And it was not a big stretch of imagination for me to visualize the flying leaves as spirits. I let the shutter click away as they enveloped me.

Talking about Cuba...
It maybe poorer for lack of free trade, but their spirits are high - they still see victory ahead...
It was such an odd, yet surreal feeling of awe the first time I saw the aurora borealis dance through the midnight sky. The evening this was taken was just mind blowing! Photographed above the roaring, mighty Skogafoss, on display was an incredible KP5 aurora on our last night in Iceland.

I must confess that as soon as I finished this image I burst into tears...
Though it was a very intricate idea and difficult to achieve I made it with no effort. It was like the image was creating itself and I was just the tool, the medium between the idea and the result.
Very weird....
