I was definitely at the right place at the right time. The Sangre de Christo mountain range is one of my favorite mountain ranges in the whole world, and this photo serves as evidence.

The park contains the tallest sand dunes in North America, rising about 750 feet (230 m) from the floor of the San Luis Valley on the western base of the Sangre de Cristo Range, covering about 19,000 acres (77 km²). They are perhaps 12,000 years old. The dunes were formed from sand deposits of the Rio Grande and its tributaries, flowing through the San Luis Valley. Over the ages, westerly winds picked up sand particles from the river flood plain. As the wind lost power before crossing the Sangre de Cristo Range, the sand was deposited on the east edge of the valley. This process continues, and the dunes are slowly growing. The wind changes the shape of the dunes daily. There are several streams flowing on the perimeter of the dunes. The streams erode the edge of the dune field, and sand is carried downstream. The water disappears into the ground, depositing sand on the surface. Winds pick up the deposits of sand, and blow them up onto the dune field once again. Digging a few inches into the dunes even at their peaks reveals wet sand. If the streams were to dry up, the dunes would disappear; in fact part of the motivation of turning the Monument into a National Park was the extra protection of the water, which Colorado’s cities and agriculture covet. -Wikipedia

On the eastern side of the remote, high-mountain San Luis Valley, between the Blanca Massif and Crestone Needle, are the Great Sand Dunes, the tallest sand dunes in North America. The dunes cover approximately 39 square miles and rise to almost 750’ above the valley floor. Once again, a fantastic sunset near Great Sand Dunes National Park..but this time done with HDR treatment. This HAS to be viewed larger for the details!

Porto Christo Harbour. On the eastern coast of Mallorca (Majorca) in the Balearic Islands, lies the ancient fishing village of Porto Cristo, located in a long bay where the El Rivet river meets the sea, it is now a popular holiday resort with a quiet, friendly atmosphere. Boasting the finest sheltered harbour on Mallorca’s east coast, Porto Cristo was formerly a significant naval base and it was the only town on Mallorca to see action during the Spanish Civil War, when Republican troops landed in 1936 in an attempt to take control of Mallorca from General Franco and his Nationalists, the attack failed and the island remained under Franco’s thumb for the rest of the war. Majorca is one of the Spanish Balearic Islands situated off the coast of Spain in the Western Mediterranean. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be viewed at Majorca or Balearic Islands or Spain.

Water based oils on canvas / This poem was channelled along with this painting….It has to do with the death of the self (ego) and ressurection of the new (ascension) The Eagle Calls. / I knew not it was time, I knew not it was so. / I knew not it was time and that I had to go. / I didn’t know the fear; in my innocence so blind / I knew not such despair until I found it mine. / Where has the beauty gone; it was so serene / And the beauty of the lord, stood always in between / My ancient loving land, with citadels on high / Their majesty and beauty, reaching to the sky / Oh this is my portrayal of the life that I have seen / And my anguish and despair of the life that could have been / But something came and broke it and took it all away / Something interfered, and now I blindly stray / Amid the wilds and deserts, and rocky dry terrain / My feet so sore and blistered, my mind is numb with pain / Where was my loving father, why had he gone away? / My life of love and beauty was ripped and torn from me / Now I had to fight and kill; to survive and to be free / The angels they had fallen; creators one two three. / For they abused their wondrous gifts and the punishment fell on me / And although you don’t yet know it, the curse is still with thee / Yet bit by bit you’re climbing, reaching slowly to the sky / With help and guidance from light beings / You again will surely fly / For the lamb has seen the eagle and heard its searching cry / The lion walks the land once more, he’s happy to be home / The lion lies down with the lamb now you are not alone / And the eagle it is calling, calling to the sky / It sounds a fearful warning and is heard by those on high / Come out, come out you light ones / Come on out and see, the lion lies down with the lamb / Its time to set us free Geometry: The opening of the heart charka on a planetary scale. Return to the infinite. The colours of peace wisdom and compassion: The three levels of light.

This is an image I took of the Tresury Casino in Brisbane in the 90’s when I was being renovated before it opened – It was all wrapped up in a circus tent kind of tarp (they where sandbasting the building). But it reminded me of a Christo artwork.

As the sun sets over Ataúro Island young Timorese search for shells, which they make into bracelets and necklaces to sell to tourists. Many of these kids are orphans, and homeless. They struggle to survive on less than a dollar a day.
