“Impact Zone” You think you’re sitting / outside the break, / When here comes a wave / you’re not going to make. / Along the horizon / a darkened blue, / must start the scramble / arms digging deep too. / It breaks before you / with a crack and a peel, / a smile on your face / life is surreal. / Waves are breaking / on top of your head, / a mountain of water / is now what you dread. / Whitewater comes, / it hits like a brick, / white and foamy, / a turbulent thick. / Waves keep on comming, / three , four, and five, / You think to yourself, / just one more duck dive. / And when you think / you that got your breath, / the ocean pushes / you down to new depths. / Waves back off / you’re stuck in the foam. / Welcome to / the / Impact Zone By: Andy Harney

The Marquesas or traditionally called “Te Fenua ‘Enata” or “Te Henua Kenana” respectfully, meaning “The land of men”. The Marquesas Islands are the island group farthest from any continent in the world, lying between 400 and 600 miles (600 and 1,000 km) south of the equator and approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 km) northeast of Tahiti. (Wikipedia) A island that still holds many mysteries within its landscape!

Beauty is Eternally Free / Hamoa Beach Maui Hawai’i I picked some fresh Plumeria blossoms and a branch of blooming Bougainvillea and tossed them onto the luxurious black sand of Hamoa Beach and was only able to get a couple of shots when a wave came in and carried them out to sea. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “Hidden behind the veil of mystery, / Beauty is eternally free from the slightest stain of imperfection. From the atoms of the world, / He created a multitude of mirrors; / into each one of them / He cast the image of His Face; / To the awakened eye, / anything that appears beautiful is only a reflection of that Face. / Now that you have seen the reflection, hurry to its Source; / In that primordial Light the reflection vanishes completely. Do not linger far from that primal Source; / When the reflection fades, you will be lost in darkness. / The reflection is as transient as the smile of a rose; / If you want permanence, / turn towards the Source; / If you want fidelity, / look to the Mine of faithfulness. / Why tear your soul apart over something here one moment / and gone the next?” ~ by Jami ~ Translation by Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
A fact never to be underestimated – someone, out there, may still call this their birthplace. It captured my attention while in the car on my way south. A short walk on the gravel road is all it took to reach the old house that parted with its best years sometime in the last millennium. That colour, the textures of decaying wood, rusting roof and the remains of the dead tree, fallen where it lived, still searching with its long fingers for the occupants, long gone. I was mesmerised by the scene. There is something profoundly sad about the remains of buildings, any kind of ruins. Is it because they remind us of the inevitable and our disposability in this world. And all the usual questions: how old is it, who lived in it, and will it make it to the next autumn or even next week? Time to go, I had better move. The sky of ‘I mean business’ colour has been gathering strength for a while. Its forward party already seized the strategic heights from the playful patches of the late afternoon sun. When it hits, it will hit hard. On the way back, just one more look … enough time to take another breath of impressions, to treasure, and an image to share, with you.

Indian Paintbrush are among the first of the wildflowers to bloom in our high arid mountains—and the last to remain in autumn. They range in color from deep sanguine red to bright yellow, and I have seen white ones once or twice in my lifetime. The most common color is bright orange. / (2008.MAY.23) RedBubble Album: Botanical Wonders Of The Great Basin Canon 350D EOS / Tamron 55/200 mm
