Last few days flowed like a spring water. Fast and smooth. I didn't noticed
how fast it was. It is more than six weeks I didn't post any image and
writing is also very much behind. New year is few days far and it is
normally time for making some decisions. No no do not worry I am not going
to write them here and even I am not sure if I am going to make some.
What I like to write about is small even which happen few days ago and let
me thinking. My son David brought, last day of school, home his paintings
and other creations. Between them was quite big painting of an angel. I
liked it very much and told him so. His reply was:
"That is nothing to compare what we doing with my friend. It is not
finished yet but it is a huge tree in the middle and on left side are
people happy and smiling and on the right side everybody is sad and
cloudy.".
Immediately I saw a photo like that. And I told him I will make photo with
the same idea. I really find it very interesting. But he reply that I can't
do it that it is his idea and he like to paint it with friend. I can't make
photo like that. What let me think is that I am not having such a ideas
anymore. Why is that. It is not any difficult it is just simple idea which
can work very well. Why mind, like mine which is busy with stupid things
about keeping family economically running is not able to create simple nice
idea which can be easily shared with others.
Being busy with everyday monotone and repeating things, feels like robot
and all thoughts are also dissolving in this robotic routine. Isn't that
scary?

Every summer, in past few years, a lot of trees are burned in south of
Portugal. Also when we were there year ago, we were driving through the
burned forests. It was extremely quiet there, no sound except wind. I
wanted to take some pictures, but road was very narrow, curvy and no place
to park a car. Suddenly I have break and parked at the edge of the road.
Viera get really scared from such a sudden breaking. She though we going to
crash. I believe her tension was in most part created by our surroundings.
Algarve, Portugal, Europe.

One of the satisfied customer, who bough prints few weeks ago and unpacked
it under Christmas tree wrote me nice lines about the Wharf -23C print, he bought:
"Having been there myself (although not at -23 degrees), I really like
the way the cityscape has been "caught" in the frame. I liked it on the
website, but seeing it printed and framed on my living room wall makes it
really stunning.
All the detail, the shades of grey, the long shadows: for me, it's a
perfect picture. Until I make something like that of my own, this one will
remain on the wall."

After I put new photo and some more writings, I also put on-line few
changes I am making to improve my site visibility in world of search
engines. Maybe it is just coincidence, but today number of visitors rise by
300% comparing to day average in last few weeks. It seems that I just need
to be more active here on web as well. Anyway is nice to see that you like
to come back.
