The Path in wonderland. / I Love this image a lot , Spiritually i would call it / ” The road less traveled ” which is also a title of a book that i enjoy reading. / —-—-—-—-—-—— Sally Omar / got inspired by my work and wrote this amazing Poem to go with this Image ,Thank you sally / —-—-—-—-—-—- THE PATH There is The Path of the unknown / Where I walked all alone / No one there by my side / Afraid to run wanting to hide / But as I walked there was such peace / All my fears suddenly ceased / I felt the hand of God calling to me / And the trees and the clouds guiding me / I walked this Path and felt no fear / Knowing that our Maker was near / I prayed aloud wanting Him to listen / Asking him what was my mission / I heard a Voice say down to me / Be a good person and one day you’ll see / A Heaven that is beyond reverie / You shall be honored at the Gate / Where your Lord and God await / So turn around it’s not your time / Live your life and you’ll do fine / When you’re ready for this Wonderland / I will be there to hold your hand.
This is another one of my shots of the Commando Monument at Spean Bridge in the Scottish Highlands. Different season, different weather but still one of the most amazing places I visit.
Taranaq, granddaughter of the Tundra and her faithful companion Nanuk, the guardian spirits of winter. I went to bed…. couldn’t sleep…. so got up and created this. It turned out to be kind of peaceful, and comforting. Perhaps now I can close my tired eyes and dream sweet dreams until the morning comes – all too soon. Self portrait and stock images from sxc.hu

Mindscape is a mental or psychological scene or area of the imagination. The word is most suitable to the filed of psychology. Mindscape has two words combined in such a way that the meaning goes beyond it – Mind and Escape… It can be translated as a Mind that wants to escape or a Mind that is in route of escaping. This adventure can be in the sense of reality or in spiritual world. / Depression sufferers escape from facts, hallucinates escape from reality, psychotics and neurotics escape from many other forms of life. We usually state that they are people who require help so that they can live an ordinary life. But who is to decide what is normal and what is abnormal? If ones can see the other side of horizon, according to them they deem the facts strongly that they hold about life, oneself and reality. They believe they are the right ones who are amongst wrong people. Are you one of them? I tend to assume we all are, one way or another.

the first, and so far only, snow fall in new york city this winter. it was so beautiful and magical to be in the biggest city in the united states and one of the acclaimed greatest cities in the world and watch as it transformed into sparkles. i’m also really glad my new camera held up and didn’t get any cold or water damage :) / / this is looking up through the lighted branches of one of the trees lining the front of rockefeller center. i’m not sure what the buildings in the picture are, but i think they add a lot to the image. / / canon rebel xsi (450d)

From my collection: / Emerquinox / Spirit of Alaska ~ Alaska North Star Winter Scenics Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Emerquinox is a word I coined when I combined the words Emerge and Equinox The Great White North I took this photo in deep winter 20 January 2008 midway between Fairbanks and North Pole Alaska. In summer this area is a peat bog. It is actually quite deep as in late Autumn I have watched a cow Moose submerge herself and swim in the pond at sunset. Near the Chena River, in winter it is used as a ‘highway’ for mushers and their dogsleds and also for snowmachines. I removed the natural blue hue with a white balance adjustment. Then I desaturated selective colours pulling down the yellow, magenta, and green. With a slight adjustment on contrast, I then used the lasso tool and selected only the sky to remove the digital noise as I had my ISO setting too high at 400 and, along with the cold, this created too much noise with the original photograph. The temperature on this day had actually warmed to about 10F. Within a week it plunged again to appx minus -47F. Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 20 January 2008 16:41:50 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/125 / Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6 “Permafrost, perennially frozen ground that maintains a temperature at or below the freezing point for at least two years. Vast tracts of permafrost lie across Alaska, Canada, northern Europe and Asia, and Antarctica. About 80 percent of Alaska’s land area contains permafrost. In the Interior region, vegetation must adapt itself to short, warm summers and long, cold winters. Trees grow slowly, and their root systems must be shallow because they cannot penetrate the permafrost. In Alaska, permafrost occurs as a continuous sheet north of the Brooks Range, extending from a few inches below the surface down to as deep as 1,000 feet. As one goes south, however, it gets progressively thinner, the melted layer on top gets thicker, and holes or gaps begin to appear in it. Permafrost may extend to depths of more than 500 m (1,600 ft). Clues to the age of the permafrost of the Northern Hemisphere lie in the numerous discoveries of mammoth remains embedded in frozen ground. Mammoths became extinct about 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, coincident with the end of the most recent ice age. Some scientists, however, think that much of today’s permafrost may have formed as long as 120,000 years ago.” Source: Wikipedia “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

19×25 pastel on Sennelier La Carte paper FEATURED IN C.O.R.E., FRIENDS OF RED BUBBLE, FIRST THINGS, THE PATCHWORK, AND THE SISTERHOOD / She has been sitting on my easel for the longest time. I finally got inspired to finish her. I made her a lot bigger than the others in the series, so that should appease her for me taking so long on her. / She is the Spirit of the North Wind. It is the wind of Winter and of death, but also of rebirth. She gives us the wisdom to overcome death and to know it is not the end. We must walk through the Northern gate at the end of this life and she will be the one to usher us through. Listen to cold Winter wind, and let her help you release your fears into the darkness of the night. Also from the Series
Blessed spirits always land high above our troubles. “Pray the Lord a struggle starts inside you for a soul matures in battlefield only.” (Thomas Merton “The wisdom of the desert”) This is dedicated to my dear friend Pol along with my best wishes. The capture has been taken on East Humboldt Range in northeastern Nevada. Enjoy!
I sat watching him sitting there beneath the spruce and oak – a canopy of such density that little snow filtered thru. Winter chill creeping into my bones; I rose from my seat in the fallen leaves to run thru a series of deep knee bends, hoping to warm my blood. Upon returning to my seat, I looked in utter surprise to see that he was fast asleep. It’s a given that Park animals are far more comfortable with us that usual, but still I couldn’t help but feel a tiny bit flattered that he would trust me enough to fall asleep in my presence. I was raised in a family of hunters, you see. Though I lacked the constitution for it, I participated just the same. It made me feel closer to my father. I went contrary to my nature to get my father’s approval. I wasn’t aware of this at the time. After many years, and having put my guns away, I realized that my life as a hunter had taken a toll on me somehow. I took up a camera, instead of a gun, and without knowing this either, I went into nature to find forgiveness. I had been away from nature for over ten years, away from my childhood friend, that place that I had retreated to for solace so often growing up. I sat there watching him sleep just a stone’s toss away and something foreign crept its way into me – a feeling that if given a voice to speak would have said to me, “Hey, do you suppose that if he can trust you like this, don’t you reckon you should be able to as well?” It felt like my father putting his arm around me and telling me that nothing else mattered; it was okay to make mistakes – it’s how you learn. I realized that despite all the striving I’d never let me feel approval of me. It wasn’t easy deciding to deal with me in a completely different way. But I met something there that day in the silence of the forest that showed me how to go about it. I found it deep within. A deer friend showed me how to find it.
