A series of pictures of water in different states. I loved most of all to be close to water. A pond, a lake, a river or creek, or the ocean. In all different seasons. Still, flowing. running, in a drop, as ice or snow. Sometimes I can get a glimse of the spirit and energy. Like some kind of intelligence that mine is to narrow to understand. But still it touches me and I become even more alive.

As a thing the way is / Shadowy, indistinct. / Indistinct and shadowy, / Yet within it is an image; / Shadowy and indistinct. / Yet within it is a substance. / Dim and dark, / Yet within it is an essence. / This essence is quite genuine / And within it is something that can be tested. / From the present back to antiquity / Its name never deserted it. (Lao Tzu)
We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour. We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We have become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are times of fast foods but slow digestion; Tall man but short character; Steep profits but shallow relationships. It’s a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.
A feather sailing on calm, dark-blue, water. Not only does the feather reflect into the water, but the white color of the feather does an excellent job of reflecting the blue back onto itself as well…razor sharp and clear image using large file size. In case the viewer wants to know…only the white-balance was adjusted for this image, no color enhancement or saturation was applied…I tried those adjustments, but they did not make the image more pleasing for me…so I returned to the version you see now :-)
At the Carriage Works, Redfern, Sydney. The place used to be where they repaired train carriages but is now being used for various new purposes. This pic was taken as the sun was gong down and the rain was making its approach. Featurd in Urban Art 5 July 09.
Forms made by the ocean water when it reaches the sand and then goes back to the ocean. This movement of the waves leaves forms and patterns in the sand and they last just a few seconds. I was lucky to be there and capture this forms. Image taken at Isla Verde Beach, San Juan, Puerto Rico – Caribbean / Sea and Sand Forms was Featured in SEA group! /

This group is for photographs that aim for a zen-like clarity through simplicity.
Images should be elegantly simple, probably inspired by the natural world, and have a contemplative quality. Can you imagine sitting in front of the image and meditating on the contents? – then maybe its photo-zen!
(For an added challenge you could add a Haiku if you feel so inspired)
