"The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison." ~~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
Utopia is unachievable. It goes against the fundamental rule of nature, that of balance. Without light, there's no dark. Without loss, there's no victory. Similarly, without pain, there's no utopia. I love that above quote, because it highlights the futility of searching for it. A good life is a balanced life and that is something we should all achieve towards (coming from a formerly career obsessed person!)
It's been a week away from flickr. I have to say, I've been struggling to find things to do to keep me occupied, which makes me wonder how much time I was actually dedicating to it!! But now, I'm getting other things done as well. Still trying to find the balance between healthy flickr addiction and life, and so far I think this weekend posting works well. So I'm most probably going to stick to catching up on your streams on the weekend and I'll most probably be dumping (yeah, that's the word for it literally) my stuff here too then. Like I said, this is still in demo phase, so forgive the dump and lets see how this works. Hope you guys are doing great!

Foto #7 do Projeto 52, com o tema “utopia"
”“A utopia está lá no horizonte. Me aproximo dois passos, ela se afasta dois passos. Caminho dez passos e o horizonte corre dez passos. Por mais que eu caminhe, jamais alcançarei. Para que serve a utopia? Serve para isso: para que eu não deixe de caminhar”.
Eduardo Galeano – Utopia.

Um, me. Rain cancelled the Utopia 10pm show in Birmingham but the show must go on - and it did in the Utopia/Destroyers dressing room in an empty building somewhere in the city.
If you are looking for long, white sand beaches, majestic green coconut palms everywhere, warm, azure blue crystal clear water - in short, a tropical paradise, then Utopia Resort is ideal for you.
Who knew Utopia could be found in a T-shirt? This is definitely one of the funkier T-shirt shops in town.
I went back to Victoria's Bastion Square to catch a long exposure night shot. The square's pretty busy on a Friday night, so I had to be patient to catch a shot without people in it.
The bulk of the lighting is provided by harsh yellow street lamps, which rob the square of its normal range of colours. So, I opted to process this shot as a split tone, using hues that I sampled from the original photo.
Eliminating gum and bird poop took forever, I'm not eager to shoot here again.

For "Human rights utopia" I depended mostly on my images taken by Kodak DX 6490. Imagining a coenobium utopia where people live in harmony with nature. the internet image taken from wikipedia as mentioned in the previous visual, was added to subdtly imply the means of communication with friends when not near, as well as a medium to bring us closer sometime in the future again.
