a severe storm looms heavily over the tranquil waters of Tin Can Bay in Qld. In little time all its fury is unleashed on the area. / / / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2007 bubblesite / photography blog / portfolio —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / see more of my weather related photography by clicking on the preview image below. / / / /
This woman is a victim of a seemingly never ending war in southern congo. She has suffered sexual violence (rape) so severe it has rendered her incontinent. She now exists purely as a result of a courageous charity called Heal Africa, and indeed her own inner strength and faith. I asked her if I could take her portrait and she stood up (which must have been painful), straightened her back and stared straight down the lens. No stopping to straighten her scarf, no preening, no fear. Just an honesty so raw, so uninhibited and so rare, I caught my breath and thought I’d never breath again. I was totally overpowered by her intensity. After I took the shot and showed it to her she smiled and thanked me. It still gives me a shiver to look at it now. HEAL Africa calendar available now!!!

We all seek refuge during the storm. “On life’s journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.” / Buddha

Thank you to Linmarie / for these very beautiful words which she wrote after seeing Safe in the Branches:- My skin is auburn / My eyes are autumn / My lips a taught brown frown / My fingers are branches of a tree / against my expression of being let down. You never saw me when I stood right next to you / I walked on egg shells just to please you / You looked right through my soul, missed all I had to offer / I had no where else to go. So the forest became my place to reflect, hide and be safe / I became one with nature, because she heard my song / She welcomed me, wrapped me in warmth / And told me ” It has been to long”. Music fills me with wind and storms / The forest has become my new arms / Because you didn’t, I moved along / You should have listened, I am now strong.

HERALD SUN/23rd Feb/’09 Did it take 6 SIX days for investigators to tell Dale and Elke that their daughter was missing…......Wasted time…...precious evidence lost/added suffering! / Yes/there was a delay in Dubrovnik…...the delay in Dubrovnik most concerning. Yes/also a delay with the Australian Government agencies…...so it is said! The parents of Britt Lapthorne want changes to privacy laws . Senator Fielding wants to change this…..... BRITT’S BILL would change the legislation and make it possible for families to be contacted as soon as a loved one vanishes overseas. PLEASE go to the PETITION online and help make this legislation take place www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au For those who live outside Australia you maybe interested to know that BRITT LAPTHORNE/ 21-year-old Melbourne woman went missing from a nightclub in the Croatian town of Dubrovnik on September 18. Her body was found many days later washed up near rocks not far from the city centre./’08 **HERALD SUN 25th feb/’09 The latest news here in Australia this morning is that the parents of BRITT LAPTHORNE have been told they are NOT to investigate/dive in DUBROVNIK/CROATIA….... It is still a crIme scene! The ocean is a crime scene. These parents only want answers. Is this not a parent’s RIGHT!! They will not rest until they have answers! Only answers will bring peace of mind and help others to avoid such REDTAPE in the future. If the waters of DUBROVNIK are too cold maybe they could spend the time chatting casually to the wonderful locals. Less expensive and probably more informative and their english very good!

This is something I have always wanted to do…. sleep naked amongst the leaves, deep in a forest, knowing I was safe and protected by the tree spirits and the animals. No harm would come to me, and I would dream deeply of the Earth’s soul. The golden web of light bathing my body would fill me with great peace and joy and when I awoke I would know that I truly and rightfully belong. BEST VIEWED LARGE
