Last day in Fiji
Panaroramic picture of a red sunset off the Oregon Coast.
All these gulls look out into the Pacific Ocean all at once. Maybe all sharing the same thought….”Why is this guy taking our picture?!”

On a perfect day, everything that matters in life can fit into a single frame. I am pretty sure you know what I mean by a statement like this. A chilly morning starts with a haze trapped in the garden treetops, and you blossom with a completely unprovoked smile on your face. Lunch tastes like it is your last, the warm air around the table smells of exhilaration. Night is peaceful, with the sky of colours seen only on postcards from exotic lands that make you wish you were there. Hold on, I was there. Yes, it was a short trip on a rural road from the regional centre to the lovely beach. The sun was already low, somewhere between the sun visor and the horizon. I had only a quarter of an hour to make a shot. I must have taken at least a half a dozen images of the scene before I saw them. A couple, their footwear in their hands and a dog, barely visible here sniffing the rounded rock, emerged from the cliff shadows. The animal spotted me, and decided to check out the puffed middle aged man with his shoes full of sand and a photo bag that is ripping off his shoulder, a someone who clearly doesn’t fit in the surroundings. Despite the odds, I seemed to smell ok. They waved. My initial thought was, I had no intention of posting an image of a couple in love on a sunset lit beach, no way. But then, it must have been the overall warmth of the picture painted by the beautiful blazing star that gives us existence, the pacific that outlines our sovereignty, multihued sky crisscrossed with the Golden Fleece left by the planes on the air corridor North-South, and the mighty dark cliffs of the West Coast vanishing into the horizon. And of course, Love, eternal and pure Love.

Lovers’ Point, Pacific Grove, CA…, shot on a recent trip to the Monterey Peninsula….06/03/09 12:50 AM low tide and a clear day……the fog burnt off by about 9:00 AM and the rest of the day was gorgeous. This image is taken North of Lovers’ Point from Ocean View Drive….in this shot you can see the Old Bathhouse….(the darker structure directly above the beach on the left) renovated a few times over, but still where I recall the original bathhouse that I remember from my childhood. The ocean was calm, not a wave breaking…the cool refreshing sea breeze was a nice feeling after the recent heat wave in Northern California. / / /

I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” Copyright 2009 – 2010 © Sharon Mau / ourjrny / The Heart Within the Art / My images do not belong to the public domain. / Reproduction is strictly prohibited. / All rights reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time: 30 August 2009 12:34:40 PM / Tv 1/250 / Av 10.0 / ISO 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / One-Shot AF / Drive Mode Single-frame shooting
