Missed opportunity?

On first glance, you may think the title is about a derelict gas station on some forlorn stretch of lonely desert highway.

You’d be wrong.

It’s about a photographer realising the shot he’ll never have another opportunity to shoot could have been so much better.

Midway Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United states of America

Beauty expressed for a different mind

Some cannot see the beauty
In a burned-out forest
So I find it for her

In the dawn time

When the light lies low
Yet vibrant

When the dew clings
And the earth seems still

Standing Watch, Standing Fast

Three sentinels stand watch
Over the graves of
Cowboys and movie stars
Where the Navajo stand fast

Relentless Pursuit

The sun follows
In relentless pursuit
Leaving footprints
In the sky

Enveloped

She comes, every time she can steal a few minutes for herself, to watch the bridge. The bridge, and the people crossing it.

One Word Photo Challenge: Cloudy ~ She rises up

Some days, the bridged water
She rises up.

Diffuse, airborne and flowing like a boisterous tide
She swallows the bridge whole

One Word Photo Challenge: Cloud 9 in 7th Heaven

Fabian and I broke away from the pack, all of whom wanted to ski an area of Blackcomb Mountain known as Crystal Ridge. We wanted powder, and figured the best place to find that was higher, into the grey storm shrouding the Glacier Express as it ascended above the tree line. Snow had been falling sporadically, heavily at times, but for the moment it had abated. There even seemed to be some potentials for breaks in the dense morning cloud cloaking the entire mountain.

So up we went.

The Sundeck at the Edge of the World

That Nature
She makes you feel so small
When driving in the valleys
Along the water’s edge
Looking way up steep mountain slopes
To their ice-capped peaks

So climb up
Up up up
Where the eagles soar
And become like a god
Surveying all below

The Jesus Effect

On an otherwise cloudy afternoon the sun suddenly breaks through, casting rays down onto the Andaman Sea and its Karst sentinels. “The Jesus Effect,” I say, loudly enough so Katrin can hear me over the engine’s roar and the ocean sloshing against the Thai longtail’s hull.

“What?”

“The Jesus Effect,” I say more loudly. “When the sun comes through the clouds in shimmering rays like that.”
