Everything ends. Years, leaves, vacations. Trips, concerts, festivals. All sorts of events. Everything you look forward to.
Unless it's not here yet. Which is the optimal state of everything looked forward to. Not the event itself but the anticipation of it. Lasts a bit longer. In relative terms. Quite longer in other relative terms, usually.
But a peak is a peak is a peak.
While a set is a set is a set.
Camera Settings:
Aperture F 4; Shutter Speed 1/250 of a second; Light Sensitivity ISO 200; Focal Length 200 mm.
Camera Model:
Canon EOS 30D with a 70-200 4 L zoom lens.
Time being inexorable, one is frustrated at the desire to remain in the moment for a bit longer. Here come the photographs which at least allow us to capture an image that should remind us of what was.
For that connection between mind and time, dusk is a special period when the material world fades away in order to let the spiritual world partially in.
Nature's calm and a photographer's hustle.
That calm can still, thanks to our photographic connection, be felt. A month later. Two months later. A year. A decade. I can feel the calm of evenings a decade ago. Dusk approaching, Suns setting, Solitude singing. Because it is the of good kind. Of the kind that allows for the connection to the spiritual world to be established.
What it is for me? Mostly emptiness of thought of worldly, material things.
For another minute or so, they do not matter.
Peace and Many Silver Moons!
Yours,
Manol
