The sky grew darker, painted blue on blue, one stroke at a time, into deeper and deeper shades of night.
― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance
Images from a well travelled path, each season something different, and yet the song remains the same.
Under these cloud splattered big blue skies, in this place, there is plenty of time (and space) to think.
About what would make things right (because, they aren’t).
Images made with Nikon D850 with AF-S Nikon 14-24mm 1:2.8G ED lens.
A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in –
what more could he ask?
A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
*All images made with Nikon D700 (well hello again, old friend) and AF Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 lens (an old, new friend)*
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
I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house
– Nathaniel Hawthorne, The American Notebooks
It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart
― Rainer Maria Rilke

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
