  • Amidst the great forests of East Gippsland this remote pocket is one of countless areas under threat from logging. This spot is amidst trackless rainforest high in the ranges in truely isolated country and to say that it took some getting to would be an understatement ! but the feeling of being somewhere so untouched and where little to few people have probably ever been is something that I will cheerish forever ! / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2008 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / / see more of my enivonments under threat related photography by clicking below / /

  • ”...Most people watching a flock of birds or a school of fish assumed there was a leader. That was because other animals followed the leader. That was because human beings, like most social mammals, had group leaders. But birds and fish had no leaders Their groups weren’t organized that way. Careful study of flocking behavior-frame by frame video analysis / showed that, in fact, there was no leader. Birds and fish responded to a few simple stimuli among themselves, and the result was coordinated behavior. But nobody was controlling it. Nobody was leading it. Nobody was directing it… ...On the contrary, flocking simply emerged within the group as a result of much simpler, low-level rules. Rules like, “Stay close to the birds nearest you, but don’t bump into them.” From these rules , the entire group flocked in smooth coordination…” ~Michael Crichton/author of the Prey (Captured in the air over the boardwalk of Coney Island, / Brooklyn, NY)

  • In a tiny, gated section of a small park in a great city, there is a statue of a giant~ Mahatma Gandhi. From time to time, people dress him up with beads, leis, put flowers in his hands or did as I, place a small gold-filled heart shaped locket at his feet.

  • This weekend (Aug. 29 thru Sept. 1, 2008) marks both the official end of summer AND the celebration of the 62nd Powwow of the Shinnecock / (pronounced Shin-E-Cock) Indian Nation. Located at Southampton, Long Island , NY reservation, it’s drummers, singers, and dancers come from across the USA & beyond to gather , reminisce, sing, eat, camp together and sell/buy Indian made goods. It is a deeply felt spiritual time, for this is when I return to the land of one set of my ancestors to stroll the land, greet old friends, smell the smoke, photograph, eat fry bread, and hear the drummers drum and singers sing. It is a time for remembrance. / ~~ This image was FEATURED in Spirit of the Native Indian-October 2008 / ~ It has been viewed in excess of 450 times. Thank you EVER so much.
