this mold is a bit frustrating... my silicone mix was half dried out, then I didn't have enough to cover so I added a plaster layer (which doesn't work btw! don't do it). It's been rough, and it sucks, but I'm learning.

the only way I know how- the hard way.

a shadow framed view across the southern end of eagle lake at sunset - glassy still shallow waters dotted with small stones, small branches and logs and thin lake reeds and reflecting the glow of the thin low lying cloudy sky on the distant horizon

It is the interplay of fog with Namibia's coastal dunes which makes for beautiful scenes. I loved the soft tones of this scene, the dunes struggling to emerge from dense fog and the coast line barely showing through.

I have always been mesmerized by the soft, ethereal light that seems to emanate from glaciers and touches all that is nearby. This particular evening in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park, it all came together. The warm light of the sun intermittently broke through clouds, gracing the peak of a mountain right next to glacier Grey in some of the most beautiful, evocative light I have seen.

The mysterious, the partially known, that left to our imagination, exerts a profound hold on us. In East Greenland, giant icebergs contrast against towering mountains emerging from the clouds, yet never revealing what lies behind.

Gently swaying grasses, remnants of good rains that graced the desert, complement distant mountains shrouded in a combination of dust & mist, as they are touched by the last light of day. Somewhere in Namibia.

The beauty of the mysterious, of that which is partly hidden, when secrets are revealed....

I step from silence
to inhale the shape of sky
etched beneath her skin
and seek no answers
only the stillness of being

The five storey pagoda at Tōji in Kyoto, Japan, back in 2016. This is a vertical photo, in colour, made over the course of four and half minutes. We see the pagoda, in dark shadow. In front is a single tree, illuminated by the lights of many passing vehicles. And its there lights we see across the whole of the frame, rendered as lines of coloured blur from the long exposure. Photo made with a Hasselblad H4D-40 and their HC35-90mm lens.

Good morning. Got a decent night's sleep in the end. Good for my body. But filled with intense and busy dreams. So, I awoke this morning with a rather tired brain.

Anyway, onwards through the day.

Wishing you all a good one, whatever you're up to.

Much luv & peace to you all.

and not everyday (cause that hum drum takes a lot of maintenance) and not all the time (cause i had to go on without you)

but that silver spark

that light you brought

seeing it makes me remember i forgot about you

makes me remember you here

outlines the shadow of your absence

that light you brought to my world, i caught a glimpse

and that prickle flickered behind my eyes, the acid built up

and that fiery cotton in the top of my nose

and water fell

just a little, just a drop

o, i almost forgot about you

i didn't cry how i thought i would when you left

in fact i was just silent, just soft stone

mud

i went on everyday, put my clothes on, ate dinner
i went on about my hum drum hum drum hum hum

but that silver spark hit me just now

I mean what could go wrong, right?

The paper back book cover of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This is the edition I first read as a teenager. 

It is a black cover with white lettering for the name of the book (at the top) and author (at the bottom). A re outline drawing of a mockingbird stands in the centre lower half of the book cover

I’ve always loved novels, although I don’t read as much as I want to any more. Too much life stuff going on.

But I’m a happier person when I’ve got a good book on the go. Novels enrich my soul and make me a more complete human being.

I am just realizing that I missed #TheCampfire last month! I must have been in a birthday/vacation bubble and totally forgot!

So if i'm liking and reposting your month old stories - well, deal with it! lol.

this is my favorite part of the whole bluesky experience.
hands down
