...memories, the sacred--they are all alike in that they are beyond our grasp. Once we are even marginally separated from what we can touch, the object is sanctified; it acquires the beauty of the unattainable, the quality of the miraculous. Everything, really, has this quality of sacredness, but we can desecrate it at a touch. How strange man is! His touch defiles and yet he contains the source of miracles.”

The castle in Nyon, Switzerland. "The Castle is first mentioned in 1272, but probably dates back to the Lords of Prangins. It was rebuilt by Ludwig I of Savoy. The rectangular building was built in a variety of building styles. In 1463, it was extensively rebuilt. Following the Swiss Confederation invasion of Vaud in 1530, the Bernese bailiff was at Nyon. In 1574-80 the castle was converted into the seat of the bailiff. It remained the seat of the bailiff and was renovated several times in the following centuries" (Wikipedia)

Perceiving Healing (365/116 Apr. 26, 2013)

...As it has been commented, in Ayurveda, true healing is possible by maintaining the organic balance with the world and Inner Self that it is possible by cultivating a life of clarity, tranquility and reality in the subtle mind. This is beyond the ordinary healing and it is in itself a spiritual discipline. It is health itself...

...at the Cathedral Crypt

...To open the gates of trust in God, nothing can replace the beauty of human voices united in song. This beauty can give us a glimpse of "heaven’s joy on earth," as Eastern Christians put it. And an inner life begins to blossom within us.

These songs also sustain personal prayer. Through them, little by little, our being finds an inner unity in God. They can continue in the silence of our hearts when we are at work, speaking with others or resting. In this way prayer and daily life are united. They allow us to keep on praying even when we are unaware of it, in the silence of our hearts...

"In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, disprited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions:
- When did you stop dancing?
- When did you stop singing?
- When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
- When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?"

Esta es otra tanda de fotos en infrarrojo que he estado preparando, procesando y demás...

De momento es un poco frustrante no controlar los resultados...

El tono del cielo en plaza españa, por ejemplo, me variaba de una toma a otra teniendo los mismos parámetros en cámara y mismas condiciones de luz... no entiendo porqué... resulta un poco frustrante.

El enfoque del Live View me ha dado algún disgusto, pero lo tengo controlado.

También es muy frustrante ser daltónico, la verdad... nunca lo había dicho explícitamente aquí, pero en este caso me está frustrando mucho.

A pesar del tono pesimista de este texto, estoy disfrutando un montón con esto y estoy emocionado!!! :)
