Is it really possible that the consciousness of ours' to exceed both time and space throughout eternity? Or, are we stuck with being fleeting illusions unto ourselves?
Funny thing is, that both time and space are born of the moment?. At least I was told.Therefore moment which, is where consciousness inhabit, exceeds both time and space.

I believe that nature is a perfected reflection of you and me! We never know when life's going to bid it's adieu, I want to observe nature, in its random and beautiful display of shifting colors. Because mother nature itself is a motivation of human life.

With all my heart I love you and will love you.

To Henri Cartier-Bresson composition is geometry. Lines. Shapes. The sense of geometry has to be cultivated. He also said that nothing worth knowing can be taught.

How very true. Its all about the art of "seeing". Rather, be observant. Then use your finger.

A young, ambitious immigrant from Guatemala who dreamed of becoming an architect. A Nigerian medic. A soldier from China who boasted he would one day become an American general. An Indian native whose headstone displays the first Khanda, emblem of the Sikh faith, to appear in Arlington National Cemetery.

These were among more than 100 foreign-born members of the U.S. military who earned American citizenship by dying in Iraq.

Many times I've tried to tell you and so many times I've cried alone. Always I'm surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone. Maybe it's a sign of weakness when I don't know what to say - blame me. Shame.

The color rendition is using a custom curve that I am trying to fine tune only for sunset/sunrises. This is originally a curve for the D3 which is used by Marco Saviola. (I talked about him earlier) . I used NX to apply the color curve to the original RAW file, with some changes of course.

Listening to Is it love by iio (whatta song, i am in complete aroha! with it)
The word aroha is used used in New Zealand, The equivalent elsewhere is love

I need to be with you much more
I can't believe this kind of fate
We can runaway...
Is it love?
