Waves crashing into massive rocks along the shore, orange skies in the background.
Rocks stand firm, yet her waves endure.
Touching, shaping, claiming over time.

“It Happens Every Spring, the world is young again…”
— Frank Sinatra
"I must warn you, you must handle me delicately: I am covered with a mantle of iridescence as easily destroyed as a dust flower. "
Anaïs Nin, A Spy in the House of Love
This piece captures the fragile defiance of life in subdued light—a meadow not basking in sunlight, but emerging from shadow. The deep, textured greens feel almost immersive, like a memory half-forgotten, while the scattered wildflowers rise delicately, each one a quiet act of resistance. There is no horizon, no clear boundary—only a soft dissolution into atmosphere, as if the field exists somewhere between reality and recollection. The flowers are not arranged but discovered, their irregularity lending the work a sense of truth and intimacy. Some glow faintly, others nearly dissolve into the background, echoing the way moments of beauty appear and fade in our lives. At its core, the painting speaks of persistence—not loud or triumphant, but gentle and unwavering. It suggests that even in dimness, even in stillness, something within us continues to grow.

A field that refuses silence.
Even in shadow, something insists on becoming.

From the light & sound show Time by Luxmuralis, at Truro cathedral back in January.
Dark clouds with sun breaking through below above deep blue water. Look closely and you’ll see a boat.
I’m on my way, said the storm.
Smiling face on a yellow ball - mushed a little bit into the decorative scrollwork along the top of a gate.
Small decorative addition to local fence. Could be wrong, but thinkin' that this was a drive-by installation of opportunity, rather than a deliberate folk-art choice from the resident.
big ole' palm tree with a traffic mirror in front. Little Escher-effect as it reflects a church steeple from behind.

Das Plönlein in Rothenburg ob der Tauber gilt als eines der bekanntesten Fotomotive Frankens und besticht durch sein markantes, gelbes Fachwerkhaus inmitten mittelalterlicher Architektur. Das schmale Gebäude liegt an einer markanten Straßengabelung und wird von den historischen Türmen des Siebersturms und des Kobolzeller Tors eingerahmt. The Plönlein in Rothenburg ob der Tauber is considered one of Franconia's most famous photographic subjects, captivating viewers with its striking yellow half-timbered house nestled amidst medieval architecture. The narrow building sits at a prominent crossroads and is framed by the historic towers of the Siebersturm and the Kobolzeller Tor.
