Sunset on the Isle of Barra, Scotland, showing a couple watching it over the Atlantic Ocean
The sun was setting and I thought it would make a good picture.
This shot was taken at Saunton Sands Beach, Braunton North Devon England. This beach is just one of many wonderfull beaches around the North Devon Coast and is popular with surfers around the world. Comments on this photo would be appreciated.
This picture was taken while on vacation in Calif.

Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied, And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted. It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear, But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears. It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw, But rather a garden forever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight. People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.” ~ Khalil Gibran Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Lava

From my collection: / Napo’o ‘ana o ka la Sunset Ho’okipa Beach Maui Hawai’i / © 2008 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Anne Mau “Paradise is here, now. / We take walks in it Constantly mingling With the Presence That pours Its light In our secret lamps To extinguish the self Of its dire poverty: We are those lit receptacles Ruh imparts luminescence to. / This love-transfusion Pulls us to the Garden, / Singing in our veins With the spheres, / “Paradise is here, now!” / Bewildered, we throw Ourselves to the ground, / Rolling by turn in laughter Like small children, / We kiss that divine wildness That began when Allah said / “And know that you are to meet Me.” ~ Sufi Poetry by Aida Toure Free Hawaii

Stood on an island on Street Lane, Leeds with traffic coming in both directions. I really liked this shot because a bus came past and caught some higher up light trails. Quite liking the perspective too. 30sec shutter speed with Canon EOS 400d

The Spirit of the Place is close / I sit within its sacred boundary. / It resides within me / We are joined soul to soul The surface of the river is calm / It stretches out from me / Reflecting the blue of the sky / As it winds its way on its journey The gulls glide on the breeze / Circling high above my head / Under the gaze of the sun. / I am enveloped in the heat of the day. There is always a story to tell / If you can find it / Looking under stones upon the beach / Are there secrets here? / I sense the power of this place / Moving in its own way / Leading me along the path / Of spirit and inspiration. Only the moment matters here / This reconnection to the Earth / Lost in the tracks of time I reclaim the past, reclaim my memory. / The Spirit knows its own truth / It weaves its own reality / Whispering in a quiet voice / It challenges me to understand.” ~ Poetry by Vanora Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / This is a composite of three of my images. / /
