Not too many memorable moments apart from the number of mosquito bites and this enchanting stone house on the outskirts of this quiet town – empty and up for sale. I unfortunately have no background information on who lived here prior or how old it may be but to any person whos preference it is to live in this dry Klein Karoo area, it would be a beautiful home to live in and restore with that ‘old world’ charm it radiates… Willowmore, Western Cape Province – South Africa Flickr Gallery http://www.flickr.com/photos/soulmyst/ P.S If you prefer to view this on imageKind do a search “soulmyst”
Pa’ako Beach Makena Maui Hawai’i Kai Makani Ho’ohinuhinu Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. Reproduction is strictly prohibited. All rights reserved Listen to a beautiful mele by Keali’i Reichel and view a beautiful video Okala Island Moloka’i Hawai’i Why is the ocean blue? / There are several theories: Blue wavelengths are absorbed the least by the deep ocean water and are scattered and reflected back to the observer’s eye Particles in the water may help to reflect blue light The ocean reflects the blue sky Most of the time the ocean appears to be blue because this is the colour our eyes see. But the ocean can be many other colours depending upon particles in the water, the depth of the water, and the amount of skylight. The colours we see depend upon the reflection of the visible wavelengths of light to our eyes. Besides being pretty to look at, colours and the light they come from really do have the power to impact people in many ways. Along with the aesthetics of light and colour, there is real science behind each and every sight we see. Each flash or ray of light, each shade of colour that light makes visible, and each time our eyes receive the messages to see them, we are reminded of a special relationship — one that is often overlooked because we simply take seeing for granted. We miraculously experience a bright, vivid world because of the workings of our eyes, the wonders of light, and the brilliance of colour. The Franklin Institute provides a good explanation of how we see colour. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Night Wash: / Black/grey clouds layered over a dark orange fire sky over a silhouetted skyline. So dramatic, so imposing an image. Just imagine hanging THIS on your wall. I have to admit to struggling with a title for this one but it does ‘look’ like a water-washed water color painting although it really is an untouched photograph – it’s just the way it came out and I love it. / I hope you do too.
