Nameless

D300 - 24 mm, 1/160 sec f/18, ISO 200

In the sun I hide

in shadow I disappear,

no matter how much I try

loneliness finds me,

as if it were my only friend.

  4. Interesting how we so often try to hide from our feeling instead of embracing them. Good to see your images and read your words once again!

  10. Thank you Judith & spacedlaw. As you noticed, the beauty of this picture is not my doing but the desert which was taken. It is located in Western Australia, For the curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pinnacles_Desert

  11. I should have known it. Australia is great for such pictures. I lived there for nearly a year, mostly in the Outback.

  12. The sky and earth are so close. How can those in between hide in blinding light or clouds of grey? Loneliness is present in sunshine or shadow with others or alone. As I look at the pictures and read the words again and again I can't help but to think of essential elements: earth, sky and we. But there are no footsteps in the sand.

  13. Yes, Australia fostered many thoughts and inspirations. Indeed Judith, there are no footsteps... hence the solitude.
