View of Mauna Kahalawai, West Maui from Kula / Protea Blossoms in Evening Light / A spectacular view from Upcountry near Kula / Haleakala Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “O Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me. I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and let my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears grow sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength not to be greater than my brother or sister, but to fight my greatest enemy, myself. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes So when life fades as the fading sunset my spirit may come to you without shame. Great Spirit of love, come to me with the power of the North. Make me courageous when the cold winds of life fall upon me. Give me strength and endurance for everything that is harsh, everything that hurts, everything that makes me squint. Make me move through life ready to take what comes from the North. Spirit who comes out of the East, come to me with the power of the rising sun. Let there be light in my word. Let there be light on the path that I walk. Let me remember always that you give the gift of a new day. Never let me be burdened with sorrow by not starting over. Great Spirit of creation, send me the warm and soothing winds from the South. Comfort me and caress me when I am tired and cold. Enfold me as your gentle breezes enfold your leaves on the trees. And as you give to all the earth your warm, moving wind, Give to me so that I may grow close to you in warmth. Great life-giving Spirit, I face the West, the direction of the sundown. Let me remember every day that the moment will come when my sun will go down. Never let me forget that I must fade into you. Give me beautiful colour. Give me a great sky for setting, and when it is time to meet you, I come with glory. And Giver of all life, I pray to you from the earth, help me to remember as I touch the earth that I am small and need your pity. Help me to be thankful for the gift of the earth and never to walk hurtfully on the world. Bless to love what comes from mother earth and teach me how to love your gifts. Great Spirit of the heavens, lift me up to you that my heart may worship you and come to you in glory. Hold in my memory that you are my Creator, greater than I, eager for my good life. Let everything that is in the world lift my mind, and my heart, and my life to you so that we may come always to you in truth and in heart.” ~ This prayer is thought to be First Nations Tribes in origin and is sometimes attributed to the Sioux Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

In the stars His handiwork I see, / On the wind He speaks with majesty. / Though He ruleth over land and sea, / What is that to me? / I will celebrate Nativity, / For it has a place in history, / Sure, He came to set His people free, / What is that to me? Till by faith I met Him face to face, / And I felt the wonder of His grace, / Then I knew that He was more / Than just a God who didn’t care, / That lived away out there / and ….. / Now He walks beside me day by day, / Ever watching o’er me lest I stray, / Helping me to find that narrow way, / He is everything to me.

From my collection: / Wilderland ~ Alaska North Star Winter Scenics A brilliant golden winter sunset in late October 2007 reflects a warm amber glow on the snowmobile tracks, ice and snow covered frozen surface of Chena Lakes, Alaska North Star “One day the sun admitted, / I am just a shadow. / I wish I could show you / The Infinite Incandescence (Tej) That has cast my brilliant image!

What more can life bring than a real great walk on the beach? / And sideby – it´s great to be a bird and to see everything from the sky…

Kissing Today's Horizon ~ Lower Nahiku Sunset Opuhanu Point Honolulunui Bay East Maui Hawai'i
by Sharon MauLower Nahiku / Makapipi Moku / East Maui Hawai’i “Home is the feeling, the essence breath of being / immersed and merged in this embrace with You. / Home is the centre from which we enter / Breathing now, this fragrance of our every moment… When you meet that One in this world / Your eyes will take on the Beloved’s gaze / In all eyes, windows to a deeper remembrance. / The meeting, a deeper moment, the embrace forever here / In all you touch, an invitation to a deeper Home. It is said that Heaven and Earth meet at dusk / A messenger of the future / Sunset dances new colours into being / Kissing today’s horizon / It blushes with the feeling of two worlds merging / This union can only be said by seeing….” Matisha 1997 from The Beloved’s Gaze © 2009 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Mau Shooting Date/Time 15 May 2009 18:14:28 / Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Tv 1/50 Av 5.6 ISO 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Nahiku translates in the Hawaiian language to Seven and refers to the Seven Sisters Constellation. Nahiku is located near the Ko’olau Forest Reserve on the remote east coast of Maui Hawai’i between Hana and Ke’anae. Here you may enjoy beautiful scenic views from Opuhano Point and Nahiku Landing, while resonating with the wonderful distinct sound of rolling lava pebbles from the surf in Honolulunui Bay.

If you’ve ever been to Bryce, you’ll know what I mean by Wow and if you ever took the time to walk in Bryce, to go down and explore what is now one of my favorite National Park (Bryce) in Utah, you’ll know what I mean by WOW. Bryce National Park, located southwest (ish) Utah should be on everyone list that travels near that area with such close proxity to Zion National Park, these two make for an awesome holiday. In a high desert zone, you hike down into this area, within the Hoodoo (rock formation) of the park and the views are simply outstanding. This shot was taken on one of the many hikes in the area on our way back to the rim, some 8 or 9 mile later. Canon Xt, Sigma 17 to 35mm lens / As is, no crop, no modifications / Better viewed full screen

Puffin enjoying the view on skellig island. lucky bird ;-) Skellig Michael (from Sceilig Mhichíl in the Irish language, meaning Michael’s rock), also known as Great Skellig, is a steep rocky island about 15 kilometres west off the coast of County Kerry, Ireland. It is the larger of the two Skellig Islands. For 600 years the island was an important centre of monastic life for Irish Christian monks. An Irish Celtic monastery, which is situated almost at the summit of the 230-metre-high rock, was built in 588[citation needed], and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. It is one of Europe’s better known but least accessible monasteries. Since the extreme remoteness of Skellig Michael has until recently discouraged visitors, the site is exceptionally well preserved. The very spartan conditions inside the monastery illustrate the ascetic lifestyle practiced by early Irish Christians. The monks lived in stone ‘beehive’ huts (clochans), perched above nearly vertical cliff walls. The monastery on Skellig Michael survived a number of Viking raids in the 9th century, notably in 823, was later significantly expanded, with a new chapel built around the start of the second millennium. The community at Skellig Michael was apparently never large – probably about 12 monks and an abbot. Some time in the 12th century the monks abandoned the Skellig and moved to the Augustinian Monastery at Ballinskelligs on the mainland. Starting in the 1500s, Skellig Michael became a popular destination for annual pilgrimages, but had no permanent residents. In the 19th century two lighthouses were built and the Great Skellig was again inhabited, this time by a changing rota of lighthouse keepers. The second lighthouse still operates, though it was largely rebuilt during the 1960s and has been automated since the 1980s. In 1986 some restoration work was done and an official tourist bureau associated with the island was established. However restrictions have recently been imposed on tourist access, in the belief that tourist numbers (in particular use of the ancient stone steps up the rock) were causing a worrying degree of damage to the site. Alternative methods that would preserve the site while allowing public access are being considered. On Monday, 30 July 2007, long-distance swimmer Robert Bohane from Ballinhassig in County Cork became the first recorded person to ever swim from Skellig Michael to the mainland. The swim began at 09:07 and ended 6 hours and 29 minutes later when Robert landed at the slip in Portmagee to approximately 200 family, friends and supporters. The swim was 18.7 km (11.6 miles) in length.

Taken on a £40 5megapixel camera that broke as we rolled down the mountain shown in that picture, so i’m surprised the picture even came out at all – and I am very pleased with this.

It is a brilliant golden sunset over a peatbog in a permafrost forest near North Pole Alaska. / . / This is from my collection: / The Golden Threshold / Calendar coming soon….. Sunsets and scenics of Interior Alaska ~ Trumpeter Swans/Tundra Swans ~ Pond and Lake Reflections ~ Boreal and Permafrost Forests~ Poetry and Quotes Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “Once in the dream of a night I stood / Lone in the light of a magical wood, / Soul-deep in visions that poppy-like sprang; / And spirits of Truth were the birds that sang, / And spirits of Love were the stars that glowed, / And spirits of Peace were the streams that flowed / In that magical wood in the land of sleep. Lone in the light of that magical grove, / I felt the stars of the spirits of Love / Gather and gleam round my delicate youth, / And I heard the song of the spirits of Truth; To quench my longing I bent me low / By the streams of the spirits of Peace that flow / In that magical wood in the land of sleep.” ~ By Sarojini Naidu Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 02 Aug 2007 22:16:30 / Tv Shutter Speed 1/500 Av Aperture 11.0 ISO 400 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
