Some places strongly remind me that

"In the beginning was the Word"

Director's cut - Reflections

/ a photo of the ocean, mirrored twice / as we are mirrored in other beings / we seek this mirror / through love we make the image visible / unveiling ourselves /

The pool

D300 - 52 mm, 3.0 sec f/32, ISO 100

Pure bliss...

if only we were alone!

Skewed

D300 - 24 mm, 1/50 sec f/4.0, ISO 1600

There are days when I simply don't fit in, it feels like I can't see straight ahead.
I try to bend my head to the side but what I see is just a skewed world.

Wisdom

D300 - 70 mm, 1/400 sec f/7.1, ISO 200

Hidden among the rocks

veiled by colors

when I give up hope

there I find you.

Rising sun

D300 - 24 mm, 1/160 sec f/8.0, ISO 200

Quiet morning

unearthly beauty

pounding heart.

The question

D300 - 13 mm, 1/160 sec f/18, ISO 200

Won't time provide

what I am looking for?

Path, interrupted

D300 - 24 mm, 1/160 sec f/4.5, ISO 200

When I look back, I often see my life made of bits and pieces. Some are connected and some are not, as if they were traces of a path suddenly cut by a mysterious force and left fluctuating in my memory. Lingering on where those paths would have taken me is a very tempting activity, and a dangerous one too.

City

D300 - 12 mm, 1/80 sec f/14, ISO 200

I'm a stranger

yet I feel at home.

Dunes

D300 - 12 mm, 1/160 sec f/16, ISO 200

Vast and untamed are the spaces

roamed by a free soul.

A peaceful place

D300 - 12 mm, 0.8 sec f/13, ISO 400

Where truth isn't given



but constantly discovered,



where differences enrich



what similarities bind.

Desert inspiration

D300 - 24 mm, 1/160 sec f/13, ISO 200

Windy brushes and dry colors

blindly stroked on a dead canvas

yet beauty sprouts

as if it couldn't be hindered

neither by nature nor by men.

There and back again

Dear friends and fellow bloggers,

I am finally home again after a very rewarding journey, whose true meaning will probably be fully understood after some time. I apologize to those who have kindly commented my posts for my lack of answer, as I experienced some technical difficulties on the road. Last but not least, my laptop (faithful companion in most of my journeys) died when it was most needed... R.I.P.
Many miles were traveled and many shots were taken. A careful selection will soon appear in this blog, to please your eyes and to revive fond memories.
