MicMac,

My first reaction to this visual wonder, was what one might experience when crossing over.
A dark tunnel with a light at the end, and that feeling of spiraling toward that light, reaching for it and journeying toward another realm.

You are a macro wonder!
This is a beautiful ice dream.
I love the unique perspective you have of the world around you.
And i am always delighted when you share that perspective with us
via your thoughts and imagery.

youaremagnificent

peace and light

Cyril Marchand, 3 months ago

Tout en tendresse… Cette goutte te rend hommage en suspendant sa chutte pour devenir éternelle tout comme ton regard sur ce monde le rend intemporel…
Ne me dis plus que je suis génial, Gisèle… Tu en deviendrais divine ! ;-)
...
Stopper le temps dans sa course, dans sa chutte,
L’attraper dans son envol et l’apprivoiser sans lutte.
Puis le bercer pour soi et l’offrir en amitié
Comme tu nous offres cet instant d’éternité.
...
Merci pour tout miss !

Mary Campbell, 3 months ago

Fantastic shot, so much more with your explaination. I was in Canada in the winter once, and I had someone splash ice on my car enclosing me and the car in something similar to your magical world. So I do feel I know this world as well. Great picture, and I love the communicating icecles..

RosaCobos, 3 months ago

Extreme intimacy with ice and warmth
Yoir hand… digging to get the llight..
The water… reflecting this light and yourself..
The communion between what is in Sky and what is in Earth…
The nexus of the Soul to Divinity..
Flowing…
down..
the ground.
Rosa (Beautiful and unique)
