'It is not what you look at that matters. It's what you see.' – Henry David Thoreau
The northern lights were out this morning in my pre-dawn walk around High Level – ice crystals are in the air; with last night’s heavy billowing clouds we’re nearing our first snowfall. Here, an image contains two end-points of high dynamic range editing; curiously, I’m liking the colour (tinted) version of the old, old store house at the St. Louis Roman Catholic mission in Buttertown – Fort Vermilion, Alberta. The image has me thinking to former priest, John O’Donohue and different parts of four lectures he’s presented and a journaling exercise he has people work through. The first question to work from is to articulate the seven things that are controlling ideas/elements in your Life – premises upon which your Life is founded.
Listening to – an investigation of the ‘Primitives,’ a group recommended with the ‘iambead.com’ photoblog; ‘Crash’ is the first tune I come across. Then it’s ‘All the Way Down’ and ‘Earth Thing.’

'Why be reliant upon secular media sources, literary works penned by atheists, and embittered hearsay to inform your views on religiosity, or worse still to bring about the lack thereof, isn't that as sensible as asking directions to KFC from Ronald McDonald?' ―T. C. M

It’s fantastic this photo!!! both black and white both in color ;)! compliments!!!
Hello, hello …
Thank you for checking this image out … it’s quite something to read that it appeals.
Take care … 😉
😉
Stunning shots…like something you would see in National Geographic. absurdly talented.
High praise, here … thank you.
I’ve enjoyed looking through ‘i am bead .com’ – totally cool to find shots of Abbey Road and the fab four’s crosswalk. Wonky Tan is a little bit of fun, too.
How’s your music going?
😉
They have said this year is going to be a good one for seeing the Northern Lights in England, November onwards, so I am planning some Northern trips to see if I can scratch them from my bucket list. I like the woozy feel to the clouds here, windy day?

Hey there, Jim:
This is an end of day image that links to a former photo of the clapperboard church you commented on. The HDR processing has caught whips of cloud where even the human eye wouldn’t normally see it. It is a shot a sunset.
We’re starting in on the aurora borealis (northern lights) up here, too. The most recent images I’ve seen are taken with a Canon 60D, ISO at 2500 for 20 seconds. It’s also possible to pull the range of colour from northern lights images.
How far north will you need to go … to where there’s no visual pollution, or, will you need to be north beyond Edinburgh? Or will you get over to Iceland?
This is lovely-very evocative and melancholy with the weather and the building working together to give you something very memorable-
Cool – ‘melancholy,’ a state achieved visually, evoked from subdued colours, tones, weather and age of the subject. Thank you for putting words to this. 😉 Good schtuff!
