  • One of my favourite photos from my stay in Tunisia

  • I normally don’t like photos that look like they were taken with filters or have been digitally enhanced. But the colours in this one just talks to me.

  • There isn’t enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of a single candle…wish I had a candle.

  • Amazing cloud cover just before sunset. It’s the last time I truly appreciated a beautiful sunset. It seems to have lost its charm since, and instead seems more ominous these days. That’s sad, because I really loved beautiful sunsets. Really did.

  • Heavenly Beauty

    

    This is  a sunset that captured my spirit after an amazing experience. I took this photo almost a year ago and looking at it again after a long time instantly invokes those same feelings that overwhelmed me that day. Truly a day to remember and to relive a thousand times over. On a slightly different note, there are so many contrasts in this scene, but the most striking of all right now is the futility of the man-made power grid that is totally dwarfed by the amazing beauty and power of a fading sun.

    

  • The Tranquil Mediterranean

  • Storm clouds over Johannesburg

    Given the writer’s block that seems to be plaguing me these days, which is usually a result of the absence of my key source of inspiration from my life, I decided to post a few photos that I took over the last few years…I have a particular weakness for sunrises and sunsets, so I hope whoever stumbles across my blog (yeah rite!) doesn’t think it morbid but instead appreciates the warmth, beauty and serenity that such a scene offers.
