Leonard Cohen - A Thousand Kisses Deep
a new entry......in collaborazione con Renà !
Per la poesia......
Pasando

Sintiendo la rispidez del ahogo,
en la dura batalla de lo cotidiano,
me deshago con la vaguedad de una promesa

Enarbolo banderas de otros
sufriendo personalmente la derrota

Dudo de cada cosa que amo
negándome a la dicha de la entrega

No soy, solo paso tratando de ser

Sin reconocer al destino saco pasaje con un…tal vez…
asombrándome, luego, de no llegar a ningún sitio

As part of my day tour along Long Beach I had intended hike to Cox Point. However, some locals played the mislead-the-tourist game and I found myself climbing to the top of a hill. Sigh. It wasn't too bad.

I have waited for weeks for the snow to arrive in Coventry and today it did and is falling still now heavily :) Strange how this location provided the last shot I took in 2009 and is the first in 2010, I wonder how many excuses I can find to visit this new friend I found over Christmas when walking. It came shortly before I was chased around a field by some miserable bulls who decided I looked like someone good to wind up!

This image has benefited from a few tweaks in Nik software and of course the usual Lightroom treatment which is so under rated for doing post processing in. A few touches on clarity and contrast and suddenly a dull looking image is transformed :)

I like this picture because of the yellow colour and also the center part of the rose petals are so arranged naturally as if they are intentionally done this way.

Feliz Año Nuevo!!!! Happy new Year !!!
