be in love with your life, every detail of it
― Jack Kerouac
A series of images made in the garden with poor technique and a glass of wine (or two).
A tripod would have been advisable, but hey, sometimes it is what it is.
Also, some critters were involved, although none were harmed in the making of this post.
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more― Lord Byron
It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart
― Rainer Maria Rilke
Is there any phrase more ominous than “you need to see exactly what you’ve done”?

Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.

“O light! This is the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate.
This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now.
In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.”
― Albert Camus, L’été
Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to light
― John Milton, Paradise Lost
It comes to this: like all of us who have not yet died of plague he fully realizes that his freedom and his life may be snatched from him at any moment”

The streets of Salamanca stay muted as Covid-19 shows little sign of receding – although even in the darkest shadows light can be found.
A brief snapshot of the streets of Salamanca in September as the summer slides slowly towards the autumn. The outcome of my latest experimentation with the settings on my Nikon D850 and AF-S Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8 E VR lens.
More to follow.
Wherever you are, stay safe and look for the light in the shadows…

i’ll be there as soon as I can
but I’m busy mending broken
pieces of the life I had before
in a tight corner
do they toll for thee?
they also serve who only perch and wait
bound and confined
reach for the sky
will you still love me?
fleeting romance
stacked
haunted
