On my Journeys Of Apollo I came across this man……Title  :  Man In The Sun

I wondered if the strong light from the sun might completely dissolve the man.

Here is the result.

Here is another Sign……. Title  :  Power Line Works

Sometimes the messages are not so obvious but they are still there.

If we believe or consider that nothing happens by coincidence we should take note of every sign we see.

So when this sign jumped out at me it seemed like a very positive message!

Coins Of Light

Coins Of Light

New black and white photograph showing……. Title  :  Coins Of Light

Shimmering coins of light

hovering on the river surface

dancing

jumping

bouncing

everywhere

beckoning touch…..

but these coins

are enriching the spirit

treasure them dearly

for to blink

and they are gone.

True Pleasures

True Pleasures

A new photograph and poem…….. Title  :  True Pleasures

The night is touched by day

when we all come out to play

to say……..something

Let not our unknown truths intimidate us

for we are not the custodians of pleasure

but believers and deceivers

Put away our pretense

and become who we are

For nothing could be kinder

than a reminder of our true pleasures

and…….

they enrich others too!

These are recent photographs which were….. Title  :  Found Studio Images

Studio is a state of being,

in mind as if in a dream

where shadows take form

and ideas and images gleam

or seem to………

but doubts perform their brilliant best

to be or not to be……pests

Like a laboratory grand

knowledge and history are at hand

but little use in expressing one’s emotions

for they are ephemeral, mysterious and respond only to inner truth

Lay bare one’s soul without excuse

and be ready for praise or abuse

For in the end

thee has told the truth

and is therefore free.

Upper River

Upper River (This)

Lower River (That)

Lower River (That)

The Nerang River which I fondly photograph and explore with Apollo is actually a very long river extending 250 kilometres or 160 miles.

Our journeys cover only about 15 kilometres.

So todays images are not the beginning or the end of the river but a very small section somewhere near the middle.

I am always amazed to see ……….. Title  :  This Becoming That

Could this be a metaphor for human potential?
