Detail of the Hippie Memorial
For everything there is a season, / And a time for every matter under heaven: / A time to be born, and a time to die; / A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; / A time to kill, and a time to heal; / A time to break down, and a time to build up; / A time to weep, and a time to laugh; / A time to mourn, and a time to dance; / A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; / A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; / A time to seek, and a time to lose; / A time to keep, and a time to throw away; / A time to tear, and a time to sew; / A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; / A time to love, and a time to hate, / A time for war, and a time for peace. -Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
I tried to show the difference between peace and well, no peace :D Experimenting….Please tell me what you think :):)

Peace….A different version Featured in Peace – 2/09 / T-shirt / / / / / The original version… / / / /
This tee became like a meditative mantra for me (like writing over and over on the chalk board)... I know the message is what I want to experience… it’s just so seemingly counter-intuitive growing up in a world governed by ‘conditional’ love. I ask myself; “What does ‘unconditional’ even mean?” “How is it expressed?” “Do I even know what and how to ‘forgive’?” “Or give?” Here’s a great self question; “Would I dare wear this tee shirt?” / The design also became an experiment in fonts and effects with different styles. I had fun doing it, and for at least this fleeting moment I feel an inner sense of peace… even joy. / Or as my Thai friends might say; “You impress the heart.”
Heart Reef © Vicki Ferrari A scan of an original print, taken using a Minolta SLR, back in the early 1990’s. / Heart Reef is located north of Hamilton Island, on the Great Barrier Reef, in North Queensland, Australia. It was named Heart Reef because, and obviously, it looks like a heart! / This photograph was taken from one of my regular chopper rides up on the island. I never got sick of flying in choppers, or seeing the amazing reef from the air! When you are at the Whitsundays, well worth visiting the Reef by helicopter! The view is amazing!

Aloha e Malama pono Sharon Mau SOLD / 01 June 2009 / 1x Poster Pa’ako Beach Makena Maui Hawai’i No post processing, it is really this beautiful! / Early morning light on Pa’ako Beach, Maui Hawai’i. / The island of Lana’i is visible on the distant horizon and Oneloa (Big Beach), Makena is in the distance on the right. The division between Big Beach and Little Beach was caused by a lava flow and earthquake in approximately 1790. The hill dividing the beaches is called Pu’u Ola’i or Earthquake Hill.

Hawai’i is the newest landmass in Polynesia and the most isolated settled area on the globe, rife with unique ecosystems. Maui, sitting in the middle of the main Hawaiian island chain, is young geologically. Haleakala, still volcanically active in the 18th century and now considered dormant, rises 10,023 feet. The older and more eroded West Maui Mountains are 1.3 million years old. The tallest point at Pu’u Kukui – 5,788 feet – is one of the rainiest spots on earth. Ka’anapali is on the leeward side of these mountains of West Maui on the slopes facing the islands of Lana’i, visible on the horizon in this image and the beautiful island of Moloka’i.” Information Source Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date 30 September 2009 / This is a composite of two images taken on the same location at the same time stitched one over the other / Currently with 2826 Views

Koh Phangan, Thailand. An ode for my love of Koh Phangan… I met you for the first time, / when I was so young.. / only 19… / I was a strong idealist…. / a dreamer / from the start.. / And in the beginning / of my journey, / you placed that first peg / on the map of my heart. Koh Phangan, I feel / we’ve met before, / maybe a past life / in the tranquil softness / of your shore… / You’ve welcomed me back, / time and time again, / I forever want more.. It is in your natural wonder / That I feel most free.. / I feel love, peace and at ease, / .. to just be. You carry my soul in the / warmth of your ocean waters.. / ...and in your soft breeze.. / that sway the palm fringe, / just like piano keys…. Your choir of frogs, birds and all / your island creatures, / Sound sweeter than any / melodic music that lures.. Thank you for putting my / troubled heart as ease, / and reminding me, / I can always find myself, / in the warmth of your breeze… —-—-—-—-—
