Any and all references to any and all real and imaginary objects or ideologies is of your own making.

Fahim,

The spiral is a powerful symbol - it can reference to a lot of things and phenomena.
A great opener that raises attention.

What's next?

Thanks for showing.

Best regards,
Michael

Thank you all for your comments.

Just a geometrical pattern. Nothing more, nothing less.
I don't have a next right now. But let's see.

Best regards.

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel

As the images unwind
Like the circles
That you find
In the windmills of your mind !

First listen to Dusty Springfield, Yes, Yes, Yes! with lavish whirling on ice, and then get seduced by from the voice of Petula clark with a surprising rich sound, (reminds me of Edith Piaff vibrattos), it's even better!

First Bart, and now you seem to be taking me back in time..wonderful times. The Thomas Crown Affair;
whither art thou gone Faye!!!

Let me throw another one at you...Mireille Mathieu!! Now there is a voice to compete with Edith!!
Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark..yes. Those were the days my friend. We thought they would never end.

Kindest regards.

p.s thanks for centering the lyrics; much better.​

Then the rude awakening. From stupor. From reality. Dreams. Imagination. Collisions.
Horatio, Hamlet, Dr. faustus. Wittenberg!!

Hamlet:
Swear by my sword
Never to speak of this that you have heard.

Ghost:
[Beneath] Swear by his sword.

Hamlet:
Well said, old mole, canst work i' th' earth so fast?
A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends.

Horatio:
O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!

Hamlet:
And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Eons of light years away, a tale is told.

Jadoo, wake up. You are dreaming again.

Wake up Jadoo, said my grandson. It is morning.
You were talking in your sleep. Couldn't understand it, Jadoo.

What were you dreaming about? I don't know.

What did you see? I don't know.

p1307898096-2.jpg


Did you speak with anyone? I don't know.
Then, who were you talking to? I don't know

p1307898108-2.jpg



Son, I said; could you turn the lamp off please. I walked towards my room, not looking back.

If I can imagine, so can you.
Thank you for traveling along with me in my dreams. Testing the RX100 in this, the last post.

And for Asher:

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind !

Thanks for the song, Fahim! but more so I'm happy to see the extension beyond what you see through the lens of your camera to what you can devise with your mind. It's the windmills of the mind that give us new opportunities to challenge barriers and devise all sorts of bridges!

I'd love to put one of your windmills on the Nile and another on the Latani river! If it were so easy! :)

Really enjoyed your first one Fahim! It is all imagination. We have an art show for the college with the theme 'light and dark'. To be honest really easy to do from a photographic perspective but they are all in a twitter about it. I had 3 of them over tonight for candle lighting on the first night of chanukah and took a couple of minutes to take this picture to show them that all that was needed was some imagination. Flashlight, blue gel, piece of A4 paper and a spinning dreidel with a 1 second exposure. Imagination!

Ben, thanks. Your pic is creative, and goes to show the value of simplicity and imagination.

Asher, I being an old man have all the time to imagine and cook up tales. Me and my grandchildren
make up wierd stories..of tables as the dark force and the cups and saucers Obe Konobe!!

Could one of you explain to this ignorant fool the difference between Hannukah and Chanukah!

Our best wishes on this occasion to you all.
