Sensational Sun

Above the mountains
the Geese turn into the light again
Painting their black silhouettes on an open sky

Sometimes everything has to be inscribed across the heavens
So you can find the one line already written inside you.

Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small bright and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart.

Sometimes with the bones of the black sticks left when the fire has gone out
someone has written something new in the ashes of your life.

You are not leaving, you are arriving”. ~ by David Whyte from The House of Belonging

  • Sharon Mau replied

    Aloha Carla, I am happy you enjoy it. I love it! :)) It is so much fun creating these. I love fine art photography, but this is probably my greatest love, using my images to create art. It is what I saw. I love taking a photograph along the coast, then raising my camera I take a shot of the sky. When they are stitched together, I find the results dazzling and I am happy you enjoy my art.

    You so often manage to capture and combine nature’s dramatic churning waves and vivid hues—the ocean’s turmoil and power and the striking, sensational look of the sky. Strong photo, as is your portfolio, Sharon.

    Wow, I have just been looking through all of the latest added to your redbubble. You have some amazing captures. I can hardly believe that this is is the same place as the beautiful sunny skies in your previous images. So dark, so atmospheric, so cold.

    Brilliant images! I have to admit, my comments would be the same on all of them, but I found a favorite and this is it. This one deserves the WELL DONE.

    Andy.
