an ongoing journey in search of Light...
I came across this beached dory in the town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia a while ago and the witch-pastel colors caught my eye (why witch-pastels? Because I think a modern witch would favor these shades, in such a combination, together.

One of the more mind-blowing structures on the planet – the Great Wall of China. This one was shot near Beijing. I don’t normally shoot in square format, so this was a departure for me.

I came across this old and dilapidated shed while traipsing around the very photogenic town of Blue Rock near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. That particular day everything was in deep fog, so I spent most of my time shooting abstract and quasi-abstract images. Here are a few from that day.

Of late, I have been attempting to get a walk in every evening as a sort of a meditative effort – to walk, to observe, and to consciously stop the mind-chatter. It’s also been an opportunity to carry the camera and work on capturing what the eye perceives.
Today, the colors in the sky were glorious! Both these images are a perhaps a poor representation of the feeling of being outdoors in the cold, crisp air, of breathing in deeply, drinking in the wonder of nature’s palette; of feeling gloriously alive! It seems as though with every passing year, the rate at which time goes by ever increases, with life passing by too quickly. To live in the moment then, is of paramount importance…
