I liked the way the clouds reflected onto the mirror facade of this tall tower building. The blues set it off for me – really like these shades of blue and the softness of the fluffy white clouds gave it an almost surreal feeling for me. / This was taken in St Julian’s, Portomaso – Malta Oct 2007.

Taken in Ely – at nightfall…the setting sun was momentarily hidden behind this sign and I though it looked awesome – nothing has been touched in this shot – completely natural….which i found amazing to be in at the time.
This picture was taken from Valletta – a very high point on the island. Ahead are the three cities with original bastions and canons still in place. / The blue of the sea is genuine – no editting – just gorgeous mediterranean sea. / The place is Malta.
Taken at The Canal – Waltham Cross – Hertfordshire, England in 2006. Just feel that the ambience in this image …*tells the story, poem, and rests your mind….the natural lighting at sunset and the mirror images on the water, i feel, are transporting. / hope you like this. / suzanne

“Collaboration” I peer into the swirling inviting greenish blue. Water pumping, filling. I edge my right foot in, my toe makes contact. Turn the taps off. I slide in. Inside now, my body contained. An embryonic sensation. I take it in, luxuriantly. I immerse my mind and it joins my body. I lay back; my head resting on a soft rolled towel, on the edge of a long, deep, hot bath. I breathe in deeply and exhale even more slowly. I like the way my body rises and falls in the water with my breath. A sigh emerges that releases me from the external and draws me inward. Hot steamy air is heavy, sweet with the scent of lavender, orange blossom and sandalwood oils. I notice how slippery my skin is. I love the way the oil slicks against me. This heady potion sends me into another space. Soft, surreal, sensual. I notice, briefly, that I am floating in the hot water. Arms, legs, torso, all my body floating. My body joins my mind, in that special space. Being and not being at the same time. Switch off external. Tune in internal. Another place another world another time. My mind drifts, sinks, rests. I can hear my heart beat inside my body, thuds travel though the water reverberating and through my skin and into my mind’s ears. Swirling deeper and deeper into a place now; so comfortable so familiar. I am home. I know that I am smiling, even though I don’t consciously. Breathing deep, slow, full, and complete. The steamy heat causes dewy beads to form on my face. They get larger then trickle down and drip into the water. Tiny little sounds. It feels good. Purging, cleansing, sensual. / I ask myself how far can I go? Sinking deeper, feeling hotter. How hot, how far is ok? I relish the intensity in this question. I begin to sink into almost unconscious ecstasy. The heat, the smells, the feel of the water against my body, the oiliness and the steam. All intoxicating, I am intoxicated. My body now motionless, whole, empty and full. My mind is smiling. My hands move gently in the water creating a gentle resistance. Small rippling sounds emanate. / My finger tips rest and move against my skin. The oil makes them slide more than usual, ever so gently ever so intently. I am aware that I am somewhere, but I don’t know where. I see my face, but I am not there with it. A sense of attachment through quiet detachment simultaneously. My mind’s eye travels ,wonders to delightful thoughts and far away places. Minutes go by, slowly. The pleasure intensifies. Senses heightened, mind immersed, body receptive, connection completed. Moments accelerate. Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata, enters my mind…I hear it, I touch it, it moves me deeply. It seeps into me. It is inside me. I feel its power. It fills me and becomes me. Its beauty and depth astonish me as always leaving me breathless and heady and weak. I surrender. We are a travelling duo and yet move as one. Our orchestral music, emotion, passion. First; Allegro ma non troppo . Then crescendo, Now performance is complete. Heaven’s destination reached. The moon’s sonata and the companion rest.

Initially, I had edited the Leonard Cohen’s, clip “Suzanne”, with, for my taste … an extraordinary result. But unfortunately, the owners of the reproduction rights (a multinational), did not think the same, and they, with justice … banned it from You Tube. I understood that it was a risk that I had taken, and that they had the right to do it. But… my navieté had been more passionate than prudent. / / Well… I had worked really hard for the project that had been haunting my creativity during months… And as the clip had been there all ready for it.. I tried to perform the song myself. Well must admit that that as all my neurons, and guts and heart was so taken by Leonard’s soul and magic, that, though, I had edited the sound.. it did not satisfied me and did not render the artistic level that the song needed. / So what to do? Well.. my purpose was firm… my heart hot.. and my husband as always ready for helping. And then.. humbly decided to recite the lyrics… and lent it a wonderful watery bachian background. So… now… if you remember the music you can look for it in your mind.. or just go to You Tube… where, may be you can find some performing.. of any kind.. of this great man. (I have not looked for it) and if you are contended with the extraordinary poem with such profund symbolism and touching energy, you may hear my voice… while contemplating the Suzanne’s adventures… that since I can remember have moved my whole being till trembling and tears. This is my contribution to this great man and artist, which voice is like a cave where one can feel secure, loved and sensually soul-attracted. / Rosa You can listen and see here . Suzanne

‘Kinnie’ is a sort of national soft drink in Malta. Made in Malta and enjoyed I think even in some parts of Victoria – Melbourne – where Maltese people tend to live and gather. Kinnie goes well with Pastizzi – a maltese savoury consisting of filo pastry encasing ricotta cheese mixed with egg and spinach I believe. You can also get a peas and onion version of these. / Kinnie is not unlike the popular Chinotto / italian soft drink – popular around Lygon street restaurants in Melbourne. / Cheers – Auguri – u Sahha!!
