The Sun Salutation
In many cultures, light has long been a symbol of consciousness and self-illumination. “The world begins with the coming of light,” wrote Erich Neumann.
Our primary source of light is, of course, the sun. When we look at our closest star, we may see nothing more than a big yellow ball. But for thousands of years, the Hindus have revered the sun, which they call Surya, as both the physical and spiritual heart of our world and the creator of all life itself.
After seven days travelling thousands of miles, both literally as metaphorically, last sunday, i too had to salute the sun and at the same time look inside and think if it all was worth it...no quiet sure of the answer yet!
Hope you all like my new image, because, for me, its always a pleasure to return to the Vasco da Gama Bridge.

This was taken at my father's pond. The coyotes walk the grass at night, not 60 feet from where I was standing.
Caught this scene on our drive around Haleakalā on Maui. The light breaking through the clouds was so rich with color I had to watch out for over-saturation when capturing the shot. The island on the right is Lanai.
This was on my 'To Do' list before visiting Reykjavik.
As it turned out, I met up with fellow adventurer Greg Whitton for a whistle-stop tour of the towns art galleries, coffee shops and hot pools. We briefly visited this magnificent stainless steel sculpture on the city seafront for just a few minutes in some pretty drab afternoon lighting.
I took a few handheld references shots between tourists and fishermen with a vague plan to return in better light, but that never materialised, so I decided to split-tone and vamp up the reference shot instead :o)
It will have to remain on my bucket list as a sunrise / sunset shoot for another time. I know it's been photographed to death in great light already, but there are few sculptures or buildings quite so dynamic and interesting to me.
The artist Jón Gunnar was ill with leukaemia at the time that the full-scale Sun Voyager came to be constructed, and he died in April 1989, a year before it was placed in its present location.

Active Region 2192 is the most prominent feature - roughly the size of Jupiter!
The Sun taken with a Nikon D300 through a 12” telescope and a F/6.3 focal reducer. A solar filter was used to reduce the brightness by 99.999% to enable the photograph to be taken without damaging the equipment. Under no circumstances should you attempt to photograph the sun without a filter as magnified sight of the sun will result in blindness. Several sunspots can be seen in this photo and some surface granularity.
Sun Voyager is a dreamboat, an ode to the sun. Intrinsically, it contains within itself the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom. The sculpture is located by the sea in the center of Reykjavík, Iceland.
