I’m not big on words, and to be honest reading endless forum threads just bores me. A quote I saw the other day is very relevant, I think “Saturation of information is the enemy of knowledge” and I think that basically sums up my thoughts on the matter. I look for the things that interest me, go straight to the heart of what I’m after, look up tutorials, and start doing. Here’s a link to the latest entry in the Seascapes Forum, which explains a little more about how to sell your work, I find it illuminating, since I’ve never been very good at promoting myself or my work. Bubblemail me if you’d like to be a “featured artist” and which photo you’d like to have included and why. Bubblemail me if you’ve got any suggestions you’d like to keep secret for the moment, Please leave comments here or in the forum if you’d like to get feedback on your work or the Group.

I have created a new 2009 calendar of some of this years icebergs that have floated down Iceberg Alley. If anyone is interested in purchasing one of these calendars they are $35 shipping and taxes included so please send me a bubblemail and I will order the calendar for you and get it shipped to your location. In regards to payment you just simply put the amount in my paypal account. I have done this before and it works really well. / / / From the Northern tip of Labrador down to the eastern coast of Newfoundland, the sea that pounds and caresses these shores is nicknamed Iceberg Alley. Bergs born 10,000 years ago on the Greenland icecap dance along the coast and far out to sea, propelled unpredictably by wind and tide, tumbling, twirling, and breaking into fantastic shapes before melting in the warm waters of the gulf stream. An iceberg’s journey down Iceberg Alley begins once it breaks off from the edges of Greenland’s glaciers. Dropping into the ocean, it is gripped by the Labrador Current and carried through the dark ocean along the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the past, during certain times of the year, the alley has been thick with the largest and most beautiful icebergs found anywhere in the world. They glide majestically along, alone or in groups, obscuring the horizon with their tall, jagged silhouettes. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Two tales…. One story four years ago….. an amazing tale with an even more special ending….perhaps if you read the story I wrote back in 2005 – the Day of the Whales it will help balance out the following more disturbing story. You see, that story was nearly four years ago. / This story – was this week, and again our south west shores have seen the heartbreaking and incomprehensible mass strandings of many cetaceans. Eighty seven whales and five dolphins were found stranded on the beach at Hamelin Bay early Monday morning. / Over seventy of the long finned pilot whales died there on the shores, along with the dolphins, with only eleven whales surviving until yesterday morning. Over 200 volunteers from the community and various groups, together with wildlife officers and veterinarians fought to provide relief and save these amazing creatures over the past two days and nights. / / Humans Caring The level of dedication and care by those who give everything to help the distressed whales is a very tangible and powerful energy. The connection between humans and cetaceans is a deep and almost primeval urge, our need to be near them, to know them, and to create interactions, is often beyond our understanding. But the emotions evident amongst all the human carers in these situations are real and a testimony to that mysterious link between our ocean dwelling friends and ourselves. Yesterday, the surviving eleven whales were transported over land to the calmer but deeper waters of Flinders Bay on the opposite side of Cape Leeuwin to Hamelin Bay. It was hoped this would give them a greater chance of returning to the open sea and thus surviving. Once lifted from the Hamelin Bay beach with cranes, Large trucks were used to transport the whales in this desperate and unique attempt to save them, and after the 15 minute journey, another huge crane was used to lift them in slings and move them down to the ocean where volunteers guided them into the water and kept them calm and still until they were all together. It was feared if some were allowed to head out to deeper water too soon, the distress calls of those left behind would only cause them to rebeach themselves. / Volunteers hold the whales in Flinders Bay, while waiting for the rest of the survivors to be transported to the safer harbour / A crane lowers the whale down into the waters of Flinders Bay, Augusta One whale reacts as it finds itself back in the ocean, dowsing those all around with the spray….either with frustration at being held captive by humans or simply joy at being back in the water Volunteers get up close to administer care to the surviving whales Once the eleven were all in Flinders Bay, they were guided out to deeper water by volunteers and professionals using boats and various other means. One female became extremely distressed and had trouble breathing, finally heading back into shallow waters where the decision was made to euthanize her to end her suffering. And then there were ten… / After suffering so much, what would this whale be thinking as he was lowered on a crane towards the water? After witnessing the live whales being returned to the sea, I felt filled with hope for them…. but wanted to pay homage to those who had not made it. I wandered along the shore of Hamelin bay and silently viewed what could only be described as a scene of carnage. Front end loaders and trucks lined up to move the huge whales, some measuring up to six and half metres and weighing three and a half tonnes, to a disposal site. It was a gruesome sight on that once beautiful beach, to see the whales going to their final resting place in the arms of heavy machinery rather than the gentle caress of ocean waves. It almost seemed blasphemous, but these beautiful creatures had long gone home to better places and the need to remove so many carcases was a nightmare that had to be attended to as soon as possible. Sharks had moved in and bites were taken from any whales that remained near the water. The bay itself had become a potentially dangerous place with the sharks being lured in by the potential of easy food. It is not even sure if sharks had attacked these large whales before they were stranded as many on the shore were scarred and marked with wounds. On this sad beach, and surrounded by the sadness and death, humans worked with respect and silence as the whales were still “taken care of” with dignity and sensitivity. I still wonder what makes these majestic and intelligent creatures commit such an act of destruction upon themselves. And why our corner of the world has such a regular occurrence of these mass strandings. According to the DEC, there have been at least 21 instances of mass strandings of whales and dolphins along this coastline since 1984. Some say it is the gentle slope of our beaches that confuses their radars….. some believe that more human intervention has created confusion or damage to their sonars or health, in the form of military sonic testing under the ocean…..in some cases strandings have been linked back to US naval exercise in the regions where whales have washed up onto beaches. Could it also be the series of recent earthquakes felt across the fault lines of Australia? Is there some chance that beneath the sea, the effects of these disturbances are felt by the sensitive cetaceans? Or is it that when a lead whale of a pod becomes old or unwell, that they make a choice to take themselves to a quiet beach to die, rather than risk being torn to shreds by sharks in the open ocean, but unfortunately, due to the loyalty and incredible social nature of whale pods, the others follow their leader into dangerous situatons? / The sad beach / the silent wave goodbye / The sign says it all We might never quite know what causes these horrific occurences, but one thing is very evident to me as I witness or take part in the ensuing scenes – That for all the large numbers of people who rush to the scene to help and strive to save the whales, these beautiful creatures are doing just as much to help and heal the humans who get in the water with them, or seek to touch and comfort them. It is almost as if the healing and care extends both ways, as anyone who has taken part in “saving the whales” will tell you….their lives have been enriched and changed forever by the experience, by that touch, that look in the eye, by the sounds of whale song or language, or just the invisible communication that passes between human and cetacean at a time when it is often impossible to know which one needs the other’s presence more. In the case of this story, the sadness continues, as of the ten released to the sea, six have since died and only four remain alive, but at this point in time, travelling safely out to sea in a group. The one redeeming factor in all this tragedy is that for all the deaths, there are still some alive who would not have survived without the care of countless individuals with big hearts and helping hands. And that the most important memory to take away from this is not the tears or sorrow and regret for those who did not make it this time but the symbolism of four whales swimming bravely back out to sea, to reclaim their existence and continue their journey. Two tales, one of hope, one of despair….two stories, different endings…. / One rides to the ocean and perhaps new freedom / One rides to eternity More of this story can be read “here”:http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,25234417-2761,00.html / “here”:http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,25228579-2761,00.html?referrer=email / And “here”:http://www.thewest.com.au/default.aspx?MenuID=77&ContentID=132200 (sorry, I could not get the above three links to print and work, so if you are interested, just copy and paste them…)

Hi Everyone :) I attended an exhibition last night in Lismore, northern NSW, Australia, put on by fellow bubbler and newfound friend Natsky her work was just so desirable and beautiful that we bought a framed piece Get Beached We drank hot chocolately drinks, and feasted on Natsky’s gorgeous photographs of nature and other wondrous ‘stuff’..... please check out her portfolio Over 70 people had been in attendance at the time of our departure, really fantastic for a first solo, and i there were still people pouring in the door as we left. This image Natsky took is a very familiar place for myself and family, we go there often and this particular variation of the beach scene is an unusual one, it makes me feel really contemplative and appreciative of my home, the beach sharpens my creativity somehow….I’m in love with the greenish tones, which remind me of the green seaglass I collect and the other glass surfaces in my home, which i prefer to have a greenish or bluish tinge…. i can’t wait to hang it :) Natsky and I met in the strangest of ways. I was in the Apple Mac store, right next door to where she and her husband work…..the apple mac lady and i were talking about red bubble and macs…....she told me about Natsky….i looked her up on red bubble when i got home….made contact via bubblemail….dropped into visit her as a surprise…at her shop….she wasn’t there, so her husband rang her and she came right on down, we hugged and i nearly cried…it was soooo good to meet her, and now we keep in touch via bubblemail…and I have a new friend ;) an extremely talented friend….she is a wonderful photographer across the board…and i also happen to know she draws very well too…. an artist through and through. Congratulations on your wonderful success last night Natsky, you are doing so well, and i can only be so happy for you, and proud to call you friend. Natsky is the first artist from whom we have ever purchased an original artwork, so i am very very excited!!! and I hope Natsky, you know what that means, that you are very very special :) Natsky’s exhibition continues to run throughout April and May at / the Chocolate Bar, Woodlark Street, Lismore…if you are in the neighbourhood, please don’t miss it ;) / Phone 02 6622 6723
