NORTHERN SHORES OF DENMARK

THE WAVES AND TIDES ARE MY FAVOURITE REMINDERS OF HOW TIME LEAVES GIFTS AND MARKS AND IF WE DON’T CAPTURE THEM IN THE MOMENT THEY ARE RETURNED TO THE FLOW. TAKEN ON THE NORTHERN COAST OF DENMARK

PARIS… ONE OF A KIND & ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PLACES ON THE PLANET…

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE STONE MASONS MARKS, EACH MASON HAVING A UNIQUE SYMBOL THAT THEY CARVED INTO THE STONE. WHEN THEY WERE PAID FOR THEIR WORK THE MARKS WERE ERASED. IT SEEMS SOMETIMES THEY WERE NOT. WHILE I SEE THE SYMBOL PHI, DENOTING THE GOLDEN RATIO, I.O OR O.I MAY WELL HAVE BEEN THE CARVERS INITIALS.

BRITTANY, FRANCE

I NOTICED THESE SMALL WEEDS GROWING IN THE SAME AREA AS THE NEXT PICTURE… THE NORTHERN COAST OF BRITTANY, FRANCE

THE SHAPE WAS AN ECHO OF NATURE, WEEDS SURROUNDING THE CAIRN OF PETIT MONT, A REMARKABLE, INTACT, ANCIENT NEOLITHIC SITE OVER 6,600 YEARS OLD. TO STAND IT ITS PRESENCE IS HUMBLING AND FORCED ME TO ONCE AGAIN ASK MYSELF WHAT I WAS BUILDING THAT WILL ENDURE? ARZON, BRITTANY, FRANCE

IN ASSISI, ITALY, WHILE PHOTOGRAPHING THE TIME WARN STAIRS OF THE MINERVA TEMPLE, NOW A CATHOLIC CHURCH, A LITTLE GIRL NAMED MAYA RACED PASSED AND TO MY DELIGHT I CAPTURED THIS IMAGE.

THE TIDE CAME IN FAST AND THIS LITTLE GIRL NEEDED SERIOUS HELP, THE MOMENT DEFINING ‘BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD SPOT’!

BRITTANY, FRANCE

WHILE THIS CHILD WAS ROYALTY, IT MADE ME SAD TO REALISE THAT HE WAS LIKELY AS BULLIED IN LIFE AS HE WAS BY KIDS WHO WERE VISITING THE RIJKSMUEUM IN AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, THE SAME DAY I WAS…

I TREASURE THE MEMORIES OF MY YEARS AT THE TOP OF SALZFASSHOHE, OVERLOOKING LAKE LUZERN WITH THE BIRKENSTOCK TO THE LEFT AND, EIGER, MONCH AND JUNGFRAU IN THE DISTANCE. LUZERN, SWITZERLAND

IN MY HEART THERE IS A TIMELESS LINK BETWEEN LUZERN AND THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII….

HOW OFTEN DOES WHAT FEELS LIKE SILK…

…TURN TO RUSTY CHAINS THAT BIND AND GAG US, PUTTING OUR BODIES IN BONDAGE, BINDING THE SPIRIT AND BLINDING THE SOUL?

LOVE IS LIKE MOLTEN GOLD, ITS FLOW PURIFYING THE BODY, HEART, AND MIND.

WHAT’S GOING ON DOWN THERE?

GETTING A CLOSER LOOK TO MAKE SURE…

THIS INCREDIBLE PICTURE IS REAL! THE EAGLES COME CLOSE WHEN FISH ARE BEING CLEANED, AND I STEPPED OUT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF MY FAMILY AND WONDROUSLY CAUGHT THIS MOMENT! NO ONE WAS HURT!

IT IS SAD WHEN NATURE OFFERS YOU MORE THAN A METAPHOR FOR WHAT YOU ARE FEELING. BUT IT FEELS LIKE COSMIC CO-INCIDENT CONTROL HAS RUN AMOK WHEN IT’S DELIVERED ON GOOD FRIDAY…

THERE COMES A TIME WHEN THE TRUTH IS CLEAR. IT’S THE MOMENT WHEN THE INSIDE BECOME VISIBLE AND YOU SEE THERE IS NOTHING THERE….

MY BRAIN’S TEACHER… THE LAUGHING BUDDHA.

IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOT HESITATE WHEN YOU KNOW THE SUN HAS SET ON A SITUATION. WHEN IT IS TIME TO GO, DO SO FOR THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GROW…

I TOOK THIS PHOTOGRAPH ON THE BEAUTIFUL CAMBO ESTATE LOCATED BETWEEN ST. ANDREWS AND ANSTRUTHER, SCOTLAND.
