Here is a view of Delicate Arch in Arches Nat’l Park, Utah, USA that is not normally photographed: looking right up at the massive rock arch from nearly straight below it. You can see the sun is high and it’s HOT, just peeking out from behind the red stone.

This little cedar tree caught my eye, standing out amongst monstrous sandstone, hoo doos, and brush. With all the dignity it could muster, I wonder how this little tree could survive in such desert-like surroundings. God truly is amazing…. /

She was originally named Lydia Liliu Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamaka’eha, Lydia Liliuokalani Paki, and also known as Lydia Kamakaʻeha Paki, with the chosen royal name of Liliʻuokalani. Queen Liliʻuokalani was an accomplished author and songwriter. Her book, Hawaiʻi’s Story by Hawaiʻi’s Queen, gave her view of the history of her country and her overthrow and therefore became the first Native Hawaiian female author. Liliʻuokalani was known for her musical talent. Lili’u is said to have played guitar, piano, organ, ‘ukulele and zither. She also sang alto, performing Hawaiian and English sacred and secular music. She would find herself in music. In her memoirs she wrote: “to compose was as natural to me as to breathe. This gift remains a source of the greatest consolation.” She wrote over 165 songs and chants. Some of her best-known musical compositions include the song, “Aloha ʻOe”, “The Queen’s Jubilee”, “He Mele Lahui Hawai’i”, and “Ku’u Pua I Paoakalani” ~ Source: Wikipedia

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

Mahama Lauhala, Naupaka and Palm growing in the lava rocks near a tide pool along the beautiful coast of Poponi. “As with all great journeys, the vision is the beginning / Dreams of all the possibilities, / of the many paths widening to the future / Of all the great and extraordinary things our mind can imagine / The persistence of our own opportunistic souls reaching for what is yet unabridged / An unconscious decision to struggle forward yet again / And without even knowing of our focus / We start forward All of our past, / our teachings, / our experience / are brought into play / The trials of our past giving us the tools that we need to find our way / Our way to fulfilling this newest quest for our dream / No obstacle too great, / no argument rebuff / The journey begun, / we will not allow defeat / We can only see the unfolding, / as it will be / And as always, / the goal is reached / And there, / sated in the peace of our newly added thread in the web of our life / We rest / And the vision comes again” ~ by Steve ‘Easy’ Whitacre 2005 Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Eiger-Mönch-Jungfrau… Big chance you’ve heard about them even if you would not be interested in mountains and Europe at all! The view of this tripartite is world-known, and the number of tourists visiting the area and making a train trip to the highest railway station in Europe (located just above Jungfraujoch, to the west of Mönch at an elevation of 3454 metres) is amazing, as is the whole area, inscribed as the natural World Heritage property of Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn in 2001. This photograph, taken from the last downhill train, shows the 800m high north face of Mönch (4107m; the German word means ‘monk’ in English). Just imagine that the Jungfraubahn railway tunnel runs right under the summit, deep in the rocks! July 2008. Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn World Natural Heritage, Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. / Canon EOS 300X, Sigma 28-135. Post-processing: retouch, sharpening, tonality adjustment, B&W conversion.

This work is about the Feminine and Masculine qualities of everything in our world. / In Judaism, God is traditionally described in the masculine, but in the mystical tradition of the Kabbalah, the Shekhinah represents the feminine aspect of God’s essence. / The Zohar, the most important work of Kabbalah, or Jewish mysticism, interprets the verse from Genesis 2, 10: / “A river flowes out of Eden to water the garden”, represent the river of wealth flowing from God to our world. / But only when the masculine and feminine aspects of God mate in love and harmony, the flow of wealth is in it’s peak. THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER. “Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles Gender; manifests on all planes.” — The Kybalion. This Principle embodies the truth that there is GENDER manifested in everything — the Masculine and Feminine Principles ever at work. This is true not only of the Physical Plane, but of the Mental and even the Spiritual Planes. On the Physical Plane, the Principle manifests as SEX, on the higher planes it takes higher forms, but the Principle is ever the same. No creation, physical, mental or spiritual, is possible without this Principle. An understanding of its laws will throw light on many a subject that has perplexed the minds of men. The Principle of Gender works ever in the direction of generation, regeneration, and creation. Everything, and every person, contains the two Elements or Principles, or this great Principle, within it, him or her. Every Male thing has the Female Element also; every Female contains also the Male Principle. From The Kybalion. Featured in the following groups: / Buyers Club / Lifeline / Art of the Middle East

Llandudno is Wales’s largest resort, uniquely situated between the Great and Little Ormes with two wonderful beaches, the award winning North Shore and the quiet, sand duned West Shore. Llandudno has kept its Victorian and Edwardian elegance and splendour, despite its modern attractions. During the Victorian era, roads on the Great Orme were still fairly primitive and the steep slopes prevented all but the most sure footed from reaching the summit. Llandudno was fast becoming a very popular tourist resort, so it wasn’t long before local businessmen latched on to the idea of a cable tramway. / Another unusual way of reaching the top was added in 1969. A Cabin Lift, which runs from the ornamental gardens known as Happy Valley, is the longest in Great Britain. The leisurely ride gives passengers a unique opportunity of enjoying breathtaking aerial views without actually flying! / A 300 meter, dry Ski Slope and Toboggan Run was created near the Happy Valley in 1986. ‘Ski Llandudno’ is not only popular with amateur enthusiasts but is of national importance to the sport, as the Artificial Ski Championships are held here each year. / On foot or by car, however you choose to reach the plateau of the Great Orme, you can be quite sure that the whole day will be as fun-filled and action packed, or as peaceful and relaxed as your mood dictates. One visit is just never enough. Nikon D300 / 18-200mm / 1/100 f/11.0 ISO100
