But the Candle is Always There...

Religion is a candle inside a multicolored lantern. Everyone looks through a particular color, but the candle is always there.

Hi my friends,

I love to find great quotes like this one and to combine it with one of my photographs I have in my archives. This photo was made in Santa Fe, NM on my recent travel
"Across America".

Thank you for all the kind comments again to my "Wordless Sunday" photo yesterday.
I'm glad you liked it :)

See you tomorrow, here on the same spot....

Eternity...

Everything that ever happened is still happening. Past, present and future keep happening in the eternity which is Here and Now.
James Broughton



Hi my friends,
Thank you for all the kind comments yesterday. Here is a new quote for you to think about. Simple words with a deep philosophical meaning behind - I LOVE that!

See you again tomorrow...? :)

Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves - or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
~ Ayn Rand ~

Hi my friends,

Mr Sandman, bring me a dream....

Sand sculpture at Cocoa Beach, FL

Mr. Sandman, 

bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung.….)

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung)

Mr. Sandman (male voice: “Yesss?) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a “come-hither” gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold)
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr Sandman, bring us a dream.

(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung….)

Hi my friends,

I bet, you all know the song about the Sandman, right? :)

I saw this cute sand sculpture of "Sandman" at Cocoa Beach, the same spot where I have photographed two days ago the launch of the Space Shuttle.

This is the Florida version of a Snowman from the North. His smiling face and the eyes are made with shells instead of coals and the good thing is, he don't melt in the sun :)

Thank you all for all the kind comments and compliments to my first Shuttle shots.
See'ya tomorrow!

2 Minutes of Excitement!

Dave and I went down to the beach to see the Launch of the Shuttle at Cape Canaveral and we were not the only one waiting for that spectacular event.

And then... wow, there was the Shuttle already, high up in the sky
before I even could point and focus my camera to the right spot.
I was almost to late with clicking the shutter :)

O.M.G., that was quiet the most exciting 2 minutes in my life - and I almost missed it...LOL...

And a full view of the whole scenery
btw, all the pics are click able to see it a little bit bigger, so you get the idea what I try to show you here :)

Can you see that big white puffy cloud on the horizon? It looks almost like an atomic blast, but that was THE spot where the Shuttle started

And there were also kids, I guess, they don't cared to much about the Shuttle, about space and flying high up to the stars :)



Hi my friends,

It was an experience, it was a very short and intense experience with this space-stuff!
I admit, I was to slow and I have pointed my camera first in the wrong direction.

I'm a newbie...hey.. what's up...? Coming from the "good old country", how the heck should I have photographic experience with catching Shuttles on a digital media? ...LOL...
Anyway, however....there will be more launches coming up next year
and I will be there again and I'll be better, I promise!...LOL...

Thanks for all your comments, love you all! :)
