summer

A hot day today..

walked to the beach after lunch with a friend

.. decided it was too hot to be on the beach,
so came home again. What a hard life!

Olaf Otto Becker's cool Greenland photos

another way

This might be another way through the jungle.
I don't know when or if I'll be near a jungle again.
Wonderful to see them, also very uncomfortable for bodies.

I'd like to zap over to London to see the Turner Prize winner,
Richard Wright, don't you admire his attitude to things too?

how?

Have been playing with this image, don't have suitable
jungle shots, will try something else, maybe. Angkor was
lost to the jungle for ages, & you can still see that, though not
in a "have to hack a path through with a machete" way.

Saw an excerpt of Shaun Tan's latest book, here,
it's a wonder, I've ordered one.

sharp edged

For days there have been winds like the Fohn in Europe,
which sometimes excuses difficult behaviour. Many fires too.
A friend is having a hard time, the details all
hard edged & black & white: this is true, that is bad.
With a rainy day perhaps things would be gentler..

morbid anatomy is fascinating
camille seaman's majestic landscapes

echos

The palm tree seeds fell down in a recent storm, love the colours.
& I expect to see city lights again in a few days.
As you'd know, I dont always take the photo on the day
of the post, I also like to flick through (200+GB of files)
until one says something of the day, more or less.

seeds

The large seed pods are from an Illawarra Flame tree top
The small ones from a Grevillea, below left. The large red
flower might be a heliconia, I'm not great with names.
Was reminded of pieces by Ivana Perkins

garden history girl ~ interesting stuff

better

My courtyard gets pleasing shadows in the afternoon, I used
some of these photos of my hand, in another image.The bottle
that refracts the light, right, I made in a hot glass class.

Went to some of John de Ruiter's meetings in these days
I so enjoy the deep silence.
