Last day in Fiji
Early morning on a tropical northern Queensland beach (Palm Cove). This is unfiltered, and taken with that strange old technology called “film” :-)
One of the most beautiful beach in Maui.
Waves in Sand Rock, Arizona, USA
New Mexico ….well known for it’s light to photographers and this is one example as to why. During this time of the year, the sun often tends to linger in the western sky and cast some amazing long and warm shadows to the East, and lucky for me, that meant against the Sandia Mountain Range. What really got me is that sheer openess of everything, just huge, gigantic open spaces that one can stop at, set up their gear, and have at it. Anytime, anywhere, and people don’t look at ya like you’re 1/2 insane lol Anyways, thoughts appreciated! / —-John
Taken from the window of a jet. The magnificent solitude of these huge snowy peaks always takes my breath away. / Minor contrast adjustment only.
Miura calendar Taken on my last day of work during my intership in Hayama: Japan on August 8th, 2007. The office threw me a farewell dinner party at Hayama Isshiki beach, as we watched the sunset with Mt. Fuji and Enoshima in the distance. Mt. Fuji’s exceptionally symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan. check out the series here Also available at Zazzle

This image was taken from the balcony of our lovely hotel in the north of Madeira. The sun was setting so beautifully behind the cliffs that line the northern coastline I took quite a few pictures. This is the one I like best. Taken with my old and trusty Minolta Dimage 7Hi. A wallpaper of this image can be found here
I had stationed myself in the middle of the pavement in a particular part of Omotesando that was both angelically blessed with dappled sunshine and also with interesting passers-by. This young lady being one of the more eye-popping. Nikon D300 / 85mm f/1.4 AF D

Morning comes, I kiss the earth / Bringing life for all – rebirth / Warm your day and light your path / Chase the dark away / Above and around I cast my glow / I’m always there, see the shadow / As day wears on, I must depart / I sink low, I cast colours / To gladden your heart / As day departs and night comes close / I kiss the sea, to leave you with your starry host

One of which is the train bridge shown here. I traipsed across the river one afternoon just before sunset and captured this image from the Indiana side of the river at just the right moment to have the red and orange glow of the sunset radiate throughout the photo. I had no idea that a train would be crossing right at that time, but it certainly made for a nice addition!

I enjoyed many films during my childhood in this art deco building. Glad to see it enjoying a revival. / / SUN PICTURE THEATRE For Yvonne, Michelle and Margot / The world is revolving faster these days / How did it happen that twenty-four hours / Now seem like eighteen…or less? Back then / The Sun sign flickered day and night / Above the picture theatre, when we jumped / Off the Spotswood bus at Yarraville Station, / To ride the railway gates with the men / And boys, while the women stood back / They swung open like welcoming arms / Scooping us into the land of reel to reel Streamers propelled by light. In the Art Deco / Building with a half sun on top, glowing / Like an icon or cross on a church / Rising up over the sugar refinery, docks / And our real lives we never thought about / While we were in Hollywood, America / The good old U S of A in Australia singing God Save the Queen, while we stood head / To shoulder with women and men dressed in suits / And the other kids who knew all the words / To an anthem sung into our colonial heads / At school and on TV without needing a script / Or subtitles on the bottom of the screen / With a bouncing ball swooping over lyrics. At the matinee we sighed when the lights were dimmed / Slipping down into our seats and out of our bodies / Onto the screen where film goddesses always ended up / With impossible heroes we read about on Fantales wrappers / While we crunched through to chocolate inside vermillion / Jaffas and licked wafered vanilla icecreams. Chilled when the lights went out once upon a time / And the curtains opened to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho / Mother told me to cover my eyes while / She held my ears and screamed so loudly / A rush of shivers snap froze the audience / To their seats. Black and white or / Technicolor…she liked a good murder. While her daughters plagiarised musicals / To re-enact on the front verandah for kids / Who lived on the Avenue. Costumes, makeup, / Some lousy script of song and dance everyone / Sat through and wanted more of every Saturday / After Mum had said: ‘Let’s go to the flicks’ / And we came home from that dreaming place Where the Sun is now derelict and only lights / Up for vandals, who make fires in the dress / Circle, front and back stalls, turning the floors / And ceiling into charcoal as delicate as Violet Crumble. Copyright Helen Chierego. (Note: I wrote this poem long before the revival of the theatre when the interior was still a burnt out ruin.) / / /
Going-to-the-Sun Road in Montana is one of the most scenic drives in the USA and offers all kinds of amazing meadows, alpine vistas and wildlife. It is best traveled in the fall since the trees can run the color gambit like on the east coast. This is one of many beatiful mountain scenes at Glacier National Park, Montana. Some of the mountains provide incredilbe views such as Mount Siyeh, Cataract and the Piegan mountain range. This particular photo is of Mount Siyeh and I just thought the colors ran together so peacefully that I thought of harmony when I took the photo :) Going-to-the-Sun Road splits the northern and southern halves of Glacier National Park in two and crosses the Continental Divide around Logan Pass.
My Husband recently told the story below at a wedding. He was the speaker – what do you think he said after this to give the newly weds guidance? I must admit I was worried – but he did well making much of the story to illustrate the need for realistic expectations and hope. Want to know how he did this? You will have to ask him. My response was to paint this – and so its called “That’s Once!” Have you heard the one about the newly weds? / After the festivities they left for their honeymoon. / This was in the days when the common form of transport was horse and cart. / What is going on within their minds? The groom . . . we won’t focus on what was going on in his mind, but the bride was thinking how perfect it was. / She couldn’t help smiling at her husband with joyful expectations of what the years ahead of them would bring. / As the horse steadily plodded along the cart was creaking as the wheels rolled along the dusty track. / Suddenly the horse stopped, lowered its head and began to eat some lush grass growing on the track. The groom flicked the reins with a “giddy-up!” The horse did not respond. / He climbed down from the cart, and went and addressed the horse. He raises his finger and Firmly says: “that’s once.” / As he climbed backup into the cart his bride was smiling admiringly at him, thinking: “I love a man who knows his mind and is firm and yet patient. He will be so good with children.” The groom takes the reins and with a flick they are on the move again. / Ten minutes later the horse stops for another snack. The groom repeats the ritual, getting down from the cart and addressing the horse, he raises his finger and firmly says: “That’s twice!” / A warm sensation floods the bride’s whole being as she is drawn to this man who exhibits such steadiness, consistency, stability and self control. Again, with a flick of the reins they are off. She slides closer to her man and places her head affectionately upon his shoulder. Just as her mind wonders into daydreams of a little house, with a veranda, a garden, children playing and her man coming through the gate after a hard days work, the horse stops for yet another snack. / Without hesitation, the groom jumps from the cart, but this time goes to the rear of the cart and appears to be getting something, perhaps a whip? / But when he approaches the horse to address it he has a shot gun in his hands. Firmly he says: “That’s three times!”, points the gun and Bang! Shoots the horse dead. / The Bride sits there stunned and can hardly believe what has just happened. As her husband climbs back onto the cart, she exclaims in a tense panicked voice: / “What did you do that for?! / You didn’t have to shoot it!!! / What are we going to do now?” / The groom turns to her, raises his finger and says firmly: / “That’s Once.”

Sunset in Negril, Jamaica. This whole trip for me was about learning how to compose my images. This one in particular I focused on the sun being framed between the palm trees. Taken with the “foliage” setting on my camera with just a little boost with color in digital editing to enhance it.

On the right side of the road, the flat land is bordered by the eastern face of Mitchell Mesa, rising 1,000 feet above. A side track forks north near Merrick Butte, but like all back roads in the park this may only be traveled as part of a Navajo guided tour.
