A spark
a ray
a beam of light
a fire
piercing the sky

Procol Harum
Fires (Which Burnt Brightly)
from their album Grand Hotel
❝ This war we are waging is already lost
The cause for the fighting has long been a ghost
Malice and habit have now won the day
The honours we fought for are lost in the frayStandards and bugles are trod in the dust
Wounds have burst open, and corridors rust
Once proud and truthful, now humbled and bent
Fires which burnt brightly, now energies spentLet down the curtain, and exit the play
The crowds have gone home and the cast sailed away
Our flowers and feathers as scarring as weapons
Our poems and letters have turned to deceptions ❞

Wishing everyone
a beautiful Sunday
and week ahead!

Love the song, Marina, and those shots are incredible! Wow! We can never have too many photos of the sun rising or setting, nor too many of the sky and clouds. Love, Love, Love! xoxoxo
No, never, you’re so right!!!!!! Thank you, Lauren!
Much love and many hugs to you!!!!
💖💖💖
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Always enjoy entering a new week of possibilities with you, Marina! Hugs and more hugs!
Ah, likewise, my dearest friend! Many many more hugs to you!!!
What is that beam that you captured so beautifully?
Wonderful shots, Marina.
The song is almost as fabulous!
xoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
It’s actually a sun ray from the rising sun! Odd right? So glad you enjoyed it and yes, that song is… and the lyrics! 😉
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Ahh!
All beautiful!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
🥰🤗🥰🤗🥰🤗🥰🤗🥰🤗🥰🤗🥰
Such brilliant captures, Marina. The song is new to me, but I really love the words. Have a great week ahead. 🤗😘
Ah, thank you, Sylvia and I’m so glad I introduced this song! You too have a wonderful week ahead! 🤗😘🤗
Beautiful. I shot some beams like this in New Zealand a couple of years ago, but never published them because I thought people wouldn’t believe them. I may reconsider that. The lyrics are stirring, and chilling.
You definitely should reconsider!
Thank you, my friend.
I know… those lyrics… also very up-to-date. 🙏
What a beautiful scene; a wonderful Beam of Light 🙂 xx
Thank you, my dear friend! It was a lovely touch first thing in the morning! 😉 xoxo
Very cool! Love how you share stuff like this. And great song, too!
Ah, thank you, Dale! Happy …Tuesday! xoxoxoxo
And to you!! xoxoxo
xoxoxoxoxoxo
Just as that beam parts the clouds, may the light of love shine from your heart.
Happy International Day of Peace, Marina.
🕊✌🏼☮
Ah, how beautiful, my dear friend!!!
Thank you so much and
Happy International Day of Peace ✌
(Thanks for the reminder… needed more than ever these days)
🙏☀️
🙏✨
You captured contrasting brilliance! Well done, my friend … and a toast … Yamas!
Awwww… you’re too kind. Just what earth provided! A toast it is… to a lovely week ahead! Yamas!
When I see fiery drips of paint falling from Mt. Olympus. I know Marina is up there, working on a new painting. So what if there’s a new hole in the ozone layer??– it’s worth it!! 😍
Nothing a little acrylic can’t fix! Getting my brushes and paint tubes right now! I just hope mother nature cooperates!
🎨🖌🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
I’m going to need a hand though because I hear she loves humor. I call Mark Armstrong to the rescue!!!!
the lyrics of the song are so deep and powerful and having such great photos that brings great reflection
They are indeed, my friend and thank you so much for your kind words on my photos! Have a great week ahead!
Thanks for the Procol Harem. OK. How/where did you take that photo?
I hope you enjoyed song and lyrics…
I’m fortunate to have a view of the sunrise from April to October (after that sun goes hiding behind buildings regardless of my requests!), so every morning I greet it from my balcony. It was one of those mornings. 😉
Very unusual clouds and rays. Good to know that some brave soul gets up at dawn to take pictures for us.
Ah, there’s more of those! 😉
If only that was the definition of bravery!!! 😉😉😉😉
Granted. But it’s certainly a step in the right direction. If I got up that early, I’d be stumbling (but bravely?).
a hah ha ha haaaaaa… bravely!!!!!!! 😉
Hi Marina- after being away for years what a perfect post to come back to. Yes the era of malice and habit is coming to a close. The children of today even the 50-year-olds seem to be brimming over with a positive outlook coming from hearts full of love. Love is power. Carla
I’m so happy to see you back! Thank you, my dear friend. Oh, I sure hope you are right, my dear Carla. Love is power indeed! Many hugs and wishes for a beautiful week ahead! Welcome back!!!!
Wonderful sparking clouds, Marina. Great choice of music.
Ah, thank you, Tim! 🙂
great band…
That they are.
The photographs are stunningly beautiful and the words to this song are stirring! Love them. xoxoxox
Lyrics: they really are, aren’t they! Very up to date too…
Thank you so much, Holly! Wishing you a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!
