Dernières colleurs (Last Colours of the day)

Posted by
Denny Jump (Bellevue, WA, United States) on 24 February 2019 in Landscape & Rural.

The Sun has long ago dropped below the tree lined-horizon....
The sky loses it's light so quickly...
The distant sight of dusk consists only of a few bands of pink and orange
But they are enough to encourage us to breath quietly and be thankful that we are there...
In that place of peace and Love...

** Staples Singers - "Respect Yourself"

- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.

::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"; Earth Wind and Fire
