God in heaven
Lord of the peaks,
you have asked the mountains
for a friend of ours.
But we pray thee,
upthere in heaven,
let him hike
in your mountains........
In this first verse, the choir pray God to let the alpinist Bepi Bertagnoli enter Paradise, and allow him to climb the Heaven's mountains.
The song is the hymne of all the Italian alpinists and is dedicated by the composer Guiseppe Marzi to his friend Bepi Bertagnoli, who died while mountaineering in the Dolomites.
You can listen to this beautiful song on YouTube.
You are going to scare someone to death doing that.
Perhaps he doesn't care. Mr. Pink I call him.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
A Prayer I wrote and pray daily...
Sweet St. Damien and St. Marianne Cope of Molokai...
Please pray for me.
I so need your prayers.
Help me to have the faith,
humility and courage to follow your path...
The true way of the Cross.
Help me not to be blinded
by the petty things of life.
Help me to raise my eyes to God,
making Christ my All.
May, I learn to love listening,
and silence while offering my service
without reward.
May, I die to self and care only about
doing the work of God
as it unfolds in my life.
Help me to do these things,
which are only displays
of the love of God
for all.
May, I take up my cross
and follow Christ
and his beautiful Saints.
-Amen
Green accent colors grab my eye and pull it upward into the frame. The building rises and celebrates a cloud-filled sky as it mimics the colors and patterns on its gleaming surface. Drama is apparant in the angled designs within the glass as they jut skyward. An abstract of sorts but its reality is tanglible enough to recognize.

Following the light leads to magical scenes comprised of the most simple elements. Here diagonal sweeps of light and color and elements within the frame make for a dramatic scene in the most unlikely spot. An otherwise dark warehouse turns inviting. Warm and cool join the dance as patterns are born out of repetition. Strong verticals anchor the image and warm and cool hues offer energy. Urban fragments tell a fairly complete story.

Towers rise into the mists of the stormy sky, seemingly reaching for the moon. Bold contrast shows off dynamic lines and patterns that create pathways for my eye to follow and details to explore.

A giant circle of sorts rises in concentric patterns into a dramatic sky. The bold design makes an immediate impact with its lines and curves and repetition. Strong structure and nature contrast nicely and provide a feeling of depth a good counterbalance within the frame. Light dazzles as it dances and adds flare and a bit more color. It's an abstract without grounded spatial relationship to where and how it stands. It delights in mystery.

Twist and Turn
The photograph evokes drama as it celebrates light and line and shape and pattern - even a bit of motion. Light gifted the choice of framing. I left out color and spatial relationships to help hold it in the abstract form.

A painterly sky - a piece of nature - joins a city scultpture - a piece of human. The contrast between defines shapes and textures and a bit of depth. Abstract, just for the fun of it.

Giant statements of an architects imagination come to life rise on city streets just waiting for admiration. Grids of patterns decorate the beautifully lit buildings. Reflections, including the source of it all, dance in glass against a field of blue. Nice drama with the slight cant to the right. Spatial relationships are a secret in the urban fragment.

High contrast black and white shows off stunning light and it streams in and paints - hiding and revealing details in a whimsical way. Diagonals drop my eye into the scene and horizontal lines reinforce the strength of the subject as they dance in light and shade. It's the light that made me look and click the shutter. It made something so simple just quite simply dramatic.

My bad...I changed filters on the Infrared Olympus and thought I'd put the 665nm on. I didn't. I put on the 850nm which is purely a filter for shooting black and white with no chance of odd colors.

I was checking on the mules when I thought I'd try one of those straight up shots.
