A panoramic slice of the New South Wales National Park. Nice view of the sandstone structures and pools which lightly reflect the dramatic clouds in the sky.

Sun Beam entering Upper Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA. Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon formed over the course of millions of years by erosion of the Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to wind erosion. Rainwater (especially during monsoon season) runs into the wash that Antelope Canyon is part of, picking up speed and sand as it rushes through the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors wider and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic ‘flowing’ shapes in the rock. Upper Antelope Canyon, called Tse bighanilini, “the place where water runs through rocks” by the Navajo, is the most frequently visited by tourists, due to two considerations. First, its entrance and entire length are at ground level, requiring no climbing. Second, beams (shafts of direct sunlight radiating down from openings in the top of the canyon) are much more common in Upper than in Lower. Beams occur most often in the summer months, as they require the sun to be high in the sky. / In the same series: / / /

/ Daedelus Watches Oh distinct and drink I do no more / What ever cup you hold. / To watch the war. / To believe the score / I’d never be so bold / Contain my wrath / its there because / I put it where I will / As all these things / we try our wings / and Daedalus watch us still / for feelings plummet / reach now no summit / and stupid is the pill / As I contain these many maim and most the wounds are succoured. For increased lines are felt combined in luckless lackless laggered. All friendship pleasant becomes incessant and divination slopped. Into a mire of woman’s conspire and what I wish of you. You never want, you poor infant, your wishes all come true. I hope for this for all that kiss my heart suspended thither. To take this shot, you will this cost, the arrow from this quiver. Suspend this time complete the rhyme and endless themes considered. This Icarus has paid his cost and will not consider more. For all I weep my sense will creep towards that which I soared. Ken Simm

Just pebbles on the beach (southwold, UK), but what i find interesting is that when they are wet they appear transformed and come alive and beautiful.
Taken in the Hague, in the historic Binnenhof. Colours accentuated to give it an abstract quality.

Some years ago I took this wonderful picture of the patterns on the stones that grace the beach at Whitby beach, North Yorkshire coastline, with their abstract design. I wanted to take the photos again with my new camera and recapture even better photos, but the next time I visited, they had all been completely covered with a green moss which left none of the patterns left to see. I was very disappointed indeed. These photos I have are all I have left, and this was the best of the lot. I hope you all enjoy looking at this patterned stone as much as I do.

Neolithic stones UK / / / The Romance Music from The Witchfinder General. A Confounded Letter. As sunshine therapy then, I listed all the happenings I could not explain. Could not account for in the dreadful, dreary, daily, dumb. Fearful scars across a manic mystery of my own making. Across the Camel river then to Lyonesse; to hear the bells under the waves and finding in ivy, hidden Mesopotamian mystery mazes on a rocky valley, carved, cliff wall. A witch body in an old witch blacked stone museum. A big pig, ghost pig, frightening a boy, in Thomas Hardy’s cold greenwood church. An Adder and a sign saint under a stone in a river through a fiord. The Once and Future king swimming forever under Tintagel’s waterfalls. The light of my stone megalith mystery landscape. The one they call paralis in paradise. The moor of excellent dreams. North Grandfather coming into sleep and asking to be aright, all bright. / Othneil, Lion of God, my Norman ancestor uncle, haunting me uncertainly with the sad smell of his pipe tobacco in rooms long emptied of memories. The first time in Ireland when he died in England and I did not know. / A hand touches mine in the Irish dark from nowhere. It plays and strokes and then unaccountably leaves. Leaving flowers and the smell of pipe tobacco. / A sister asleep with eyes closed at the same time as Ireland, yet reading aloud and turning pages. / The Synchronizing of timeless effect and million to one chances happening every tattled tale time I looked around, in and under, in remorseless fogged fear. / Finding this music only when I stopped listening and looking in the hiding of plain sight. / A Cavalryman in a Priest hole behind the horsehair and plaster of a friend and ancient farm. The walk across a wooden, yet carpeted floor with spurs a jingle. With his long straight pistol and sword all bright, all blood, all right. / The monster sound crashing in the eldrich dark wood of illicit listless love with the girl that ran and ran and ran along the old railway into another woman. The place and line of decapitated Captains. All these, still many more, were list listed in the black books of before bright pagan burning, as always. As Sunshine therapy then. Did it work? Oh yes and strangely enough, no.

This is the Union Chain Bridge, which spans the River Tweed, bwtween Horncliffe, Northumberland, in England and Fishwick, Borders, Scotland, which we visited one afternoon whilst on holiday up north. “When it opened in 1820 it was the longest wrought iron suspension bridge in the world. I wanted to create a B&W image to really bring out the detail and textures of the stone and the water. It was a very dull day so I decided also to use HDR. This is a HDR image combining 5 bracketed shots using Photomatix Pro for Macs. Slight adjustments in lighting and contrast were made using the enhanced details tool. / Black and White effect added using iPhoto and also the use of Photoshop CS.
