Angle, composition, lighting, etc. all just seemed to work.

Hi, I've other posts uploaded here but with difficulty signing in (unless anyone can help me?) This is a shot of one of the 5 towns, Cinque Terre, in Italy
thanks

The whole soul has a black face
Neither you nor I escaped the rule.
Let's take the whole dramatic expression
For being for you I use a euphemism
Let's just call it the lunar side
Show me your lunar side

I remember when we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together in whispers and moans
When I was all messed up and I heard opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby, light my way

Non posso vivere
Troppo bisogno di te
Wish you decided to stay
We're too far, we're too far away

But are we all lost stars
Trying to light up the dark?

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

I hope this old train breaks down
Then
Then i could take a walk around
And see what there is to see
Time is just a melody

The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand
Says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

I've been livin' like a star 'cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse, 'cause I never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
Using every one of them and runnin' wild

Every inch of sky's got a star
Every inch of skin's got a scar
I guess you've got everything now

and now she knows

Now is greater
and she knows that

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool

Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire

One day I'll be back
Your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at
Your blue room

There he goes again
Take me to the edge again
All I got is a dirty trick
I'm chasin down the wolves to save ya

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

Arabella's got some interstellar-gator skin boots
And a helter skelter around her little finger and I ride it endlessly
She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit
And when she needs to shelter from reality
She takes a dip in my daydreams

love changes changes everything
Love makes you fly, it can break your wings
Love changes changes everything
Love makes the rules, from fools to kings
Love changes, love changes everything

We'll go to peepshows and freak shows
We'll go to discos, casinos
We'll go where people go and let go

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like when the doves cry

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

My heart
I was used to it
With loneliness
Who would have thought that by my side
Would you stay
You came to stay.
You make me happy
You make me sing
Like this

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

In the dark
I see your smile
Do you feel my heat
On my skin
Take off your clothes
Blow out the fire
Don't be so shy
You're right

With accounts for closing
I will follow my course
A Desire to Burn
The eternal that I seek
Only one more
Once again
Only one more
And I only know why

If she had wings she would fly away

And it hit me like never before
That love is a powerful force
Yes, it struck me that love is a sport
So I pushed you a little bit more

She's seen her share of devils in this angel town

A very rare opportunity presented itself. A piebald Eastern Washington Mule Deer. Certainly the highlight of my day.

There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lived with you
Lived with you

You landed in my life
Like a new and brighter light
That made all my past seem in shadow

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much of this life
To hang on
Well, everybody hurts
Sometimes, everybody cries
And everybody hurts, sometimes
But everybody hurts, sometimes
So hold on

Through the window closed
Daylight comes in now
Dies the desired shadow
In an elusive hope

Dancing on the astral plane
On holy water cleansing rain
Floating through the stratosphere
Blind, but yet you see so clear

How do you pick a woman?
It is not always bull to spoon
And the killer in me
No bandarilla in a garden.
Being such a flower catcher
It does not make me good forked.
If the audience comes flowers
Every "Olé" I feel pain.
Was this killer vein
Came to Maria Clementina

Oh, can't it be
The voices calling me
They get lost and out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind

9th March 2017, 8:30pm

Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin

If God persists, persists in saying yes
I guess we'll have, we'll have to test ourselves
Maybe the Summer, will come and clear our minds
And find the impulse, to love the sunshine

This sugarcane, this lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry

This immature Bald Eagle was coming into a carcass (off camera right) for some dinner. The sun lit him up beautifully.

Cái se bebe el sol
Cái es la brisa marinera
Y que remienda tu corazón
Con la sonrisa más morena

My obsession
It's my creation
You'll understand
It's not important now

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Bordeline bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts

God and man, no confessions
God and man, no religion
God and man don't believe in modern love

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest

I took so long to set this up that I almost missed it. The was the last competitor going over the final jump of the competition.

Bones sinking like stones
All that we fought for
Homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for

Operator, the lines are down, are down
And I'm a traitor, traitor to a beautiful cause
God made me to her own design
Bad planning, too many flaws
How long will it take to get used to me
Don't wait that long

I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty

I was right there at the top of the bottom
On the edge of the known universe where I wanted to be
I had driven to the scene of the accident
And I sat there waiting for me

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say, I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood

'Cause all of my kindness is taken for weakness
Now I’m fourfiveseconds from wildin’
And we got three more days ’til friday
I’m just tryna make it back home by monday mornin’
I swear I wish somebody would tell me
Ooh, that's all I want

Shanghai incense vendor displays his wares on the street in front of the guardian golden elephants at his front door.

To everything, turn, turn, turn,
There is a season, turn, turn, turn,
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself
It's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
'Cos losing everything
Is like the sun going down on me

BUt I Crash Against The Cotton

Chena Hot Springs greenhouse, is heated and powered by geothermal hot spot under the site.

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
Around broken in two
´Till you eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
´Till my hand shook with the way I fear

Before I was able to make this picture, I was hiking for 45 minutes, with a 150m (50ft) height difference.
On this shot you're looking over the south area of Lake Garda, with Garda (the village) in the middle

Don't promise me to much
No i'd rather you don't
A promise don't mean much to me no more
Be mine, be mine

This life prepares the strangest things
The dreams we dream of, what life brings
The highest highs can turn around
To sow love's seeds on stony ground

Breathe... Breathe

I'll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
You can go swimming when you're here
I'll be the rainbow when the sun is gone
Wrap you in my colors and keep you warm
That's how strong my love is

And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
and who by avalanche, who by powder,
who for his greed, who for his hunger,
and who shall I say is calling?

Yes, the morning is for you
Yes, the air is free
Yes, the world spins for you
And your positivity
Positivity

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Douglas Adams
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

Cease to resist, giving my goodbye
drive my car into the ocean
you'll think i'm dead, but i sail away
on a wave of mutilation
a wave
wave

Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

It's difficult to encapsulate Nassau in one shot, there were so many places to photograph and I can't upload them all. But mostly, to me, the simple colours are what make the place so lovely

I wanted to shoot a scene with a yellow cab in, and there's other images where I have managed this. But this one had the two guys starting to party by the sid eof the road which to me gave the shot some life and realism

Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Oh, oh! Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh! Sweet love of mine

Satellite's gone
Up to the sky
Things like that drive me
Out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

And i will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I´ll never look behind me
My troubles will be few

The oldest part of this early 17th coaching inn was built in 1619. It was allegedly described in the New York Times as "the most handsome inn in the world".

It's not that transparency
of her earlier incarnations
now looked back on, weren't rich
and loaded with beautiful vulnerability
and now she knows
Now is greater
and she knows that
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be

They say it's no game
there's strange news from another star
I'm lost, I'm lost
there's strange news from another star

Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end

We can’t fall any further
If we can’t feel ordinary love
And we cannot reach any higher
If we can’t deal with ordinary love

Baby, slow down
The end is not as fun as the start
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart

Didn't stick around too long. There were four of them after all. As a trained (but lapsed) First Aider and RLSS Life Guard, I didn't fancy jumping in to rescue one of these guys.

So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost
Don't try to find me

but now i've got someone who cares for me, (yeah)
wrote my name in silver sands
i think you know you've lost the love of your life
(you said) i was the best you've ever had
because i'm in demand, (hey)

I live in a small community (90,000 total pop.). When I post photographs of my street photography on social media I get nothing but praise from subjects and other photographers. However, there is an under-current of aggression from a small but significant section of non-participants. I'd like to anchor these threats of violence have led to some exclusions from FaceBook. People say things like, 'Invasion of privacy...', in public place? All images come with a disclaimer as in (Please do NOT Tag or try to name subjects in my Candid Street Photography. No sale or profit made.), so I believe I don't need to get a release signed from each subject. They also say, 'I would be very annoyed if it appeared on social media....', even though they have significant numbers of family photos on their page.

What are your experiences in this area? Can you give me any advice? Paul

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

She walks in the beauty of a magazine
Complicating the boys in the office towers
Rafaella or Della the silent dream
My marilyn come to my slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
I'm aching been dying for hours and hours

With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields of destiny high in the sky
But oh can you see him?
Oh Daddy's speeding

She's the face on the radio
She's the body on the morning show
She's there shaking it out on the scene
She's the colour of a magazine
And she's in fashion
She's in fashion

If I was the wife of an acrobat would I look like the living dead boy?
You're on the wire and can't get back, let's talk about the living dead
Could have had a car, could have had it all,
Could have walked in the sky but we stare at the wall

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (wo, wo, wo)
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey hey hey, hey hey hey)

We've come too far
To give up who we are
So let's raise the bar
And our cups to the stars

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
