Soft Light illuminates the recesses the caverns of Antelope Canyon, a narrow slot canyon often no more than 8 feet wide.
If we could take a peek into a human heart, a metaphoric glimpse of what lies within….. / what would we truly find…...? / Take a person, any person…...what would be within the chambers of their heart centre? / Would it be … / scary / sad / empty / lonely / torn / fightened / indifferent / full / rich / proud / loving / joyful…? / Would there be music? colour? silence? / darkness? light? / stillness? / or the flow of a mighty river? / Would this heart be so unique and unlike our own? / or would we discover…. / that at heart level / we are all / the same….

The Magic Flute was Mozart’s last opera. It was produced at Vienna on September 30, 1791, and on December 5 he passed away.Something that has always disturbed me is that this wonderful composer was never given a decent burial. He was thrown into a commoner’s grave. What I never understood and still can’t understand is why people didn’t get together and bury him with some recognition and dignity? This painting is for him….Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wax, enamels, inks and graphite
Click Here / Upper Antelope Canyon – USA Tour 2008 The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tse’ bighanilini, which means “the place where water runs through rocks.” Upper Antelope is at about 4,000 feet in elevation and the canyon walls rise 120 feet above the stream bed. Though dry most of the year, Antelope Canyon runs, and sometimes floods, with water after rains. It is the water, slowly wearing away the sandstone grain by grain, that has formed the beautiful and graceful curves in the rock. Wind has also played a role in sculpting this fantastic canyon.

ISO200, 1/160s, f/16 @ 34mm Chambered nautilus have hardly changed since the time of the dinosaurs. At one time, nautilus and related cephalopods were the dominant marine predators. Nautilus are now mostly scavengers. During the day they spend their time in deep water (500-600 metres) at the base of tropical reefs. At night they move into shallower water (200-300 metres) to scavenge for food, usually the bodies of dead animals that have fallen down the reef walls. The pictured animal was captured by Underesea Explorer as part of their Nautilus Research . They trap nautilus at a site called Admiralty Anchor on the western side of Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea. The traps, baited with chicken pieces, are dropped down the reef wall to a depth of 200-300 metres (the lines are 300 metres long) and leave the traps overnight. The traps are raised the next morning and any captured nautilus are transferred to holding tanks. The tanks are chilled with plastic containers filled with ice to keep the water temperature closer to what they would experience in deep water. The researcher on board the boat measures, logs and engraves each animal and they are released that night back at the same site. The trapping and handling does not appear to have any adverse effect on the animals and Undersea frequently recapture tagged animals. The research is important in understanding the populations at Osprey Reef so they can be protected from shell collectors.

Just to the south of Dunfermline’s High Street lies one of Scotland’s most unusual churches. The Abbey Church of Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland is two very distinct churches, joined in the middle. The effect is unexpected but attractive. The Abbey Church, as the name suggests, was the church serving Dunfermline Abbey. A church probably already existed on this site in 1070, when King Malcolm III married Queen Margaret. Margaret liked Dunfermline so much she set up a Benedictine foundation here. This was later transformed by her son King David I into what was intended to become the most important abbey in Scotland. Work was started in 1128 on the Abbey Church and the nave still survives as the western half of the building on view today. During the building of the new Abbey Church in 1819 bones believed to be those of Robert the Bruce, because of their position and because of a cut breastbone (to allow the removal of his heart), were discovered. Robert was reinterred in the centre of the new Abbey Church, 560 years after his death. His grave now lies under the magnificent pulpit covered by a large brass grave marker. And to celebrate his presence the words “KING ROBERT THE BRUCE” were formed with large stone lettering around the four sides of the crown of the tower. Subtle it isn’t, but striking it most certainly is. To the right of the shot is the gothic tower of Dunfermline City Chambers. This building was historically designed to be the centre of local government in Dunfermline. In more recent times most of these functions have been devolved to other locations, but [as of 2008] the impressive edifice still houses the Council Chambers, the Burgh Court and Dunfermline’s Registrar Office. The building, constructed in the period 1875-79, was created by James C Walker who also designed the first Carnegie Library. It employs a harmonious composite of French, Gothic and Scots baronial architectural styles and features a prominent four-face clock tower. It was constructed on the site of an older Town House of 1771 which was in its turn built to replace the 17th century Town House, demolished as part of 18th century improvements to make way for Bridge Street. The structure includes heraldic stones recovered from the demolished 1771 Town House. The finely designed interior of the City Chambers incorporates many notable features, in particular the oak hammer beam roof which provides the ceiling for the Council Chamber itself. The historic police cells, although no longer in use, have also been preserved. Furnishings include a number of notable artworks including busts of several Scottish sovereigns, a statue of Robert Burns, Sir Joseph Noel Paton’s painting, Spirit of Religion, and an early twentieth century portrait of King Malcolm and Queen Margaret.

Yosemite, California, USA / Taken April 2, 2009 / As is; straight from the camera / Fuji Finpix S5700 S700 / SP ~ Landscape Mirror Lake is a historic landmark that will soon no longer exist. Not due to man alone. Mother Nature has decided this one herself. The hike to get to the lake has just as many beautiful stops along the way as the lake. Thank you for viewing. :) / 4th Place /
