"Synchronicity is an ever-present reality for those who have eyes to see it." (-Carl Jung) Sometimes it seems there is so much chaos in the world that it can be difficult to find any order. While prepping for a sunset shoot, 3 beautiful geese began swimming together in the area. From above the surface, they appeared to glide effortlessly through the water and, for at least this split-moment, moved in perfect unison.
Explored: 23 December 2015 (all my faves got wiped out at some point -- not sure what happened).
This moonrise was one of those rare moments of serendipity and synchronicity when the moon, rising full in a crystal clear sky, met the tip of our most iconic mountain, Fisher Peak, at the moment when a winter alpenglow was at its finest. I have never seen this exact combination of elements, before or since (although I continue to watch and hope!).
This shot was taken in a hurry from my kitchen window with the only camera I had at hand at the time, my little Canon point-and-shoot.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a joyful and peaceful Christmas and festive season. May you all encounter a little bit of serendipity in the new year! Happy clicking!

A couple eat lunch in the city in perfect synchronicity. The eating gesture is obvious but look at the position of their feet, especially the right foot. The lady behind also has her foot in a similar position. Street photographers always welcome a bit of luck.
However, good street photography relies on instinct, being alert and fast reflexes. I love being tuned into the street.
Synchronicities. There's really no such thing as meaningless coincidence.

It's been a month since I've uploaded anything...bleh. I don't know why. I think things will start picking up. I'm loving the beautiful weather we're having here!

A long-legged fly discovered and devoured this Monarch Butterfly egg. He was very excited to have found it, and took several breaks from munching on it to dance circles around the egg. I watched him for a while, and no other insects came to see what he was up to. He had it all to himself. Later, when I went back out, it was gone.

Behind the impenetrable military jargon.
There are traitors who threaten our freedoms.
Always seen.
Never to see the observer.
Those who monitor and influence.

Warding off evil.
Rebirthed and resurrected.

A Yin/Yang Perception of Opposites
Tao Te Ching -:- Verse 2
====================================
When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
====================================
In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (also, yin-yang or yin yang) describes how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, and male and female) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality of yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as in the pages of the I Ching written in 1,000 BC and before.
Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. The yin yang shows a balance between two opposites with a little bit in each.
In Daoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.

By measuring starlight - specifically, the color and brightness - astronomers have determined that our Milky Way has about 100 billion stars in its system. Using the Milky Way as a model, astronomers have multiplied the number of stars in a typical galaxy (100 billion) by the number of galaxies in the known universe (2 trillion). The result is an absolutely astounding number of approximately 200 billion trillion stars in our known universe. Given that the earth’s star (the sun) has eight planets revolving around it, one of which has humans on it. Is it reasonable to believe that human beings here on the planet earth are the only beings in existence?

Time/Line(d): Joys Of Random Alignments 02:11:11 01/02/2021 - IMRAN™
Got a second? Lend a hand. Or two, or three. Not to me but to your own self. Take a moment to align ... all three hands on the long arms of time of our too short journeys... live, love, laugh.
I happened to see the seconds-hand of a brand-new clock moving towards being totally in-line with the minutes & hours hands on this wall clock I just mounted. I bought it to match the wall color in my living room when the previous timepiece died.
I took the photo just half a second before their total alignment would’ve made it impossible to make out the three separate hands. Nothing earth -shaking to commemorate, it would seem, right? Just another second of the thousands we take for granted, daily. True. But.... stop, see, speculate.
It is a very special event. Not because of the random alignment of the hands on a wall clock, which literally happen every hour at different spots on the clock face. Not because I hung a new thing on the wall. Instead, realize and appreciate that this is another moment you’re blessed to have. Another opportunity to appreciate the tiny details of life which can be routinely ignored or regularly missed, — or by choice turned into something to celebrate,... a moment of joy, a tiny synchronicity, something more to smile about and be grateful for.
Gather enough of moments like these and even the most ordinary days can add up to a happy life fully lived, totally savored. Have you smiled at some random moment of joy today? Do it now. Tick-Tock. Tick-Tick-Tock.

This picture is part of my photographic series "Irène de Viviourès", which I invite you to consult in the list of my albums. You will find the script in the album header, and by consulting the shots in their chronological order, you may be able to reconstitute the plot of a photo novel, like a new mirror of the legend of Viviourès and its 3 hermits.
Model: Inès
I’ve always loved the natural angles that pine forests have and in the past made images in a similar vein to this one, but I have this unexplainable niggling feeling that there is still room to explore this type of composition, to really gain something new. It’s hard to explain, but it’s kind of a subconscious signpost that keeps me coming back with the intention of working the concept to squeeze something different, something new, maybe a catalyst towards an as yet undiscovered avenue of creative exploration. Anyway this slight departure in foggy conditions towards an experiment with my new Canon 70-200mm + Canon 1.4 Extender. I decided to a shallow DOF to highlight the depth, instead of my usual hyper focal distance method. I wanted to blur the colours in the distance but maintain the sharpness and simplicity of the shallow focal plane. I also wanted to pick out detail and balance the composition, but still maintaining the simplicity in the complex environment.
The telephoto lens is enabling me to blinker my usual wide view on the world, into a whole new world of detail and ironically opening up new concepts and compositions. The truth is I’ve always seen it, but for some reason I’ve wanted to work the detail into the wider view, it kind of works with the evolutionary need in me to have the wide view.
Anyway isn’t it funny how life has a strange synchronicity. After watching a very interesting documentary the other day about the nature of reality (and quantum mechanics), yet again I have been reminded that the world is not as we think we see it and all it takes to see fascinating new worlds is a change in your own perception, a change in the way you process the things that you thought you knew. Turn them upside down and blow your reality away, it’s going to help you see and imagine new things that you may not have (or may have) seen before!
