I didn't get too many good sunrises on my Trip along the Great Ocean Road. This however was a particularly stunning one with a patchy covering of high cloud which lit up over the Gibson Steps.
…..We went to Bridgnorth today for a change to Shrewsbury - our normal routine! Much smaller town but still very interesting, it is split in Low & High town and connected by a Cliff Railway & these steps for foot traffic commuting between them! I gave the shot a few extra nudges to give a more old feel to it…..HSS. Alan:-)

Yesterday evening I had the evening off work and headed down to Bedruthan Steps near Newquay with my friend Darren.
I had a feeling the sunset wasn't going to be great as there was no cloud, but I mainly wanted to get a shot of the gorgeous thrift that grows along the coast at this time of year. I missed it last year as I went down there just as it was all dying off so knew I wouldn't have long to get myself down there and get the shots I wanted.
It was a very hazy evening and although I used my polarizer I was still left with a bit of haze in the background, I think it adds a little bit of mood to the shot though so it's not all bad.
Pamukkale,
meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey.
The city contains hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water.
It is located in Turkey's Inner Aegean region, in the River Menderes valley, which has a temperate climate for most of the year.

Buildings by the street in Dubrovnik, which we walked to the Old Town. It's maybe not interesting, but I just like all this green there :)
Budynki przy ulicy w Dubrowniku, którą szliśmy na stare miasto. Podobał mi się ten zakątek zieleni :)
I've recently watched an interview with Salvador Dali where he was stating that all his artwork are based on his dreams coming to him 10 minutes before he was fully asleep.
Dali learned over time to take control of his lucid dream state and with that, he mastered accessing his subconscious and used what he had found in his act of creating. Of course, the way he materialized what he found is truly amazing as well, in any ways, all his artwork are now fascinating manifestations of one man's creative mind, ideas and experiences, for all of us to see and wonder about.
This all made me think, this 10 minutes time period of lucid dream state, mystical space before we all are fully gone somewhere else; I cannot help noticing a parallel notion happening in the way nature behaves just before it awakes or falls asleep; the most unexpected, wonderous and profound events, colours, particles, sensations are seem to manifest themselves in those couple of minutes of lucid dream states of nature, just before it all settles again.
