shingle

Loved this beach on Maui, near Lahaina as I recall,
zillions of wonderful stones, making music with each
wave.

Akram Khan etc

gods

Right is a shrine in India, the door was in a museum,
& the Kalighat painting was in the British Museum when
I photographed it.

interesting craft exhibition
I like the tiny hand made plants!

echoes 2

The sandcastle is at Byron Bay, didn't see it's maker.
Other shots are from Hasankeyf, in Turkey; it's hard to
separate how I feel about it from the fact that it will be
fully underwater when the proposed dam is completed.
It is a beautiful & ancient & sad place.

Totally futuristic, clever, gorgeous:

echoes

Left are sand patterns at Tallows beach, here in Byron Bay
~ quite reminiscent of these formations in Cappadocia. It was
supposedly under an ocean, eons ago.

On the generation of the previously unseen WOW

despots

2 of my old paint sketches from photos. It's easy to think that all
the worst abuse of power was/is by men, but China had
some women (right) who were in the finals.
I heard that Tibet is closed to tourists at present.
Watched some old footage from late '40's>50's, in Tibet,
it looked so marvellous, partly because it could have been
from long before photography happened.

devotion in Tibet

disturbance

It seems as if the world's energy is disturbed just now,
wouldn't you say? There's the battle between the forces
of light & dark, as above (In Angkor Wat) as well as
where we have zero control - in nature.
Really though, do we have any control over any thing?

I find this surface detail uplifting, it reminds me of long ago..

brush drawings

Further pages photographed from one of my old
drawing books.
Am puzzling over where my next holiday will
take me: how to get to see new places, old friends,
at the best time of year, all in one package.
Of course I'm following the awful news from Japan,
it must be so hard for everyone there, & their loved ones
elsewhere.

I admire his photos & approach very much:
