I find this image very inspiring and quite familiar.

And I hope all of you fine people had an awesome Shivatri and Solar Eclipse, yesterday, 03/08/2016. To say nothing of International Woman's Day! BTW, Shivatri is the yearly celebration of the Hindu God, Lord Shiva. Mahadeva Shiva is the patron deity of Nath Yogis, Tantri ecstatics, mystics, ascetics and even many western psychonauts.

Essentially, Shiva is the anthropomorphication of the universal nature of the Absolute state. That which precedes any discernable form or differentiation and will still exist, when all finite reality, as we experience it, turns back into so much cosmic dust. As an aspect of the Infinite, Shiva exists within each and all of us, manifesting AS each and all of us.

And while women can be entrancing, seductive and steamy, as pictured above... it is high time we collectively (our male dominated societies, world-over) honor them as not just sexual objects to satiate men's desires... but as true Goddesses, Sacred beings and the very embodiment of the Divine feminine. Women are our mothers, sisters, daughters, close friends and yes, our highly erotic lovers and sexual partners. "Love is most mad and moonly."

The female power is revered in India as Shakti, who when indivisibly united with Shiva, become the very cause of all perceivable creation, the effect of conscious existence and it's eventual dissolution (as we dream of life within a linear continuum). Together, the polarities balance perfectly with one another. Sybiotically and seamlessly so. Unity is optimum!

Just sayin' cause it's true.

couldn't have said it better.. is that, is that a gilgamesh in that last pic, RS??

edit: (It's shiva, as you said already, sorry.) I like it. Feels like new beginnings.

Shakti?

This view is to the west of the Coast Range in NW Oregon, looking towards the pacific. This was sunset last night, a giant spotlight ray shot straight up into the sky for at least 30 minutes. I'm guessing the conditions were just right for the sun to reflect on the ocean in such a way that was really awesome. Lucky I was able to get these shots.

Also, an awesome double rainbow in the central Willamette valley.

Peering through..

hi diddly ho we have emulsion!


Serious question.......Is this emulsion?

Last nights full moon:

Great picture Null. I was enjoying the full moon too. Here's my contribution. My friend has quit his IT career to make t-shirts. To launch his business he has travelled to Cornwall to visit outlets down there near the coast and try to get some of his t-shirts stocked by surf shops etc. He has printed up a special hoodie for himself for his 'trip', here is it on his t-shirt printer in the making - i'm sure most of you will recognise the image

If anyone is interested in his range including the Kat Harrison sketch of the algerian mushroom man on a t-shirt then PM me.

hilarious.

A luna moth i had the pleasure of keeping company in the last few moments of its life. I find the life cycle of the saturniid moth to be rather trajic.
