This Fleeting Nature






We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

~ From Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot

  1. Going on means going far,
    Going far means returning.

    Since i see the ocean from my window, i can hardly return to it. But still, i do.

  2. Your photos really speak to me. The lighting is beautiful and I love the quote too.

  3. In your last post also, I started to say these look like post card shots, but there's something more in each one. For me, it's especially true of the first one today. Something about the reflections and the wave carry this beyond the predictable. Very nice.

  6. So much movement within the stillness, and stillness within the movement.

    It's just wonderful to stop here and watch the infinite ocean with these beautiful colours..the first one puts my heart up side down .. the compo ,the different tones ,the clouds and the sand ,the white foam of the waves..it's really a superb image..
    I can easily imagine this photo on the wall of my bedroom..:)
    Thank you for this serene moment
    Kisses ..:)

  8. great choice for the poem. When you get to the end turn around and go the other way.

  9. I'm back for seconds. Lordie, this is luscious. Could these shots happen with "old-fashioned" film photography? The luminescence is such a key to the drama and the blue here . . .
