Description
I swim through the ocean of my mind
I drown in the questions I ask myself
I fight to hang on to my tomorow
Only to be pulled back by my past
I scattere in the waves melting in the heat of the night

I Blow in the wind of my hopes
I cry my soul with the salt of the sea
I am blind to my true wishes
Only to see what I shouldn't want
I scattere in the waves melting in the heat of the night

I want to close my eyes and whatch with my heart
I want to breath with my fingers blocking the cold wind
I want to use my reflection and look inside myself
I want to stop time with the power of my thoughts

I want to feel It's all up to me.
Up to myself & I


****

This was an impossible sunset.
The most beautiful sky I have ever seen.
One of those sunsets that makes you feel how lucky you are to be alive.
Tel Aviv, Israel.

In fact, a very short one..
It's important in sunsets, or the strong direct light from the sun will over expose the frame

The colors are magnificant. I like the fact that this can also relate to inner struggles especially since you called it Myself & I. It sure does look like one of those "good to be alive sunsets." Which I can just picture you there thinking about all the good things in your life, despite bad- kinda like how the warm colors over-throw the cool colors in this piece.

Wonderful work, G.

What point did you meter from?
I find sometimes that metering sunsets can be quite difficult.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

gilad In reply to bule [2005-12-05 06:51:30 +0000 UTC]

When shooting silhoettes it's always best to meter from the brightest point.
That would be the best choice.
