River Findhorn at Randolph’s Leap

The gorge of the River Findhorn at Randolph’s Leap Peering over the edge of the gorge, with the rushing peat-black water of the River Findhorn below.  The sun came out from behind thick clouds for just a few moments, enough to light up the tracery of the tree branches.  This is a place of strong […]

Icicle Cascade

Icicle Frost Spray After days of hard frost, the grasses and mosses along the banks of the cascade were coated in layers of frozen spray.  A long time exposure contrasted the flow against the static icicles.  “Emotion, because it brings feeling and connects you to feeling, allows you to recognise different states of conciousness.  The […]

Beaver Creek, Sedona, Arizona

Beaver Creek, Sedona, Arizona Another week of rain, and I haven’t been out with the camera, so here’s an image full of wonderful energy and colour from my trip to Arizona last year.  This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, with incredible aliveness. “Mindfulness is a deceptive condition.  It’s not […]

Ice Sparkle

Sun sparkling on the edge of the ice Happy New Year!  May 2011 be a year of really positive change. On the subject of positive change, I’ve noticed many alternative energy developments recently, such as high efficiency solar cells coming to market, new hydrogen cells for electric vehicles with almost no emissions, and various other […]

Ice cascade

Ice build-up around a waterfall After many days at low temperature the splashes had built up this amazing sphere of ice around the cascade. “In Tibet we say that many illnesses can be cured exclusively by love and compassion.  These qualities are the ultimate source of happiness, and we need them in our innermost being.

Icy Stream

[…]

Rock in the flow

A Rock in the flow, River Findhorn. Autumn really started to show her colours this week, with the birch woods turning gold, and a  touch of fresh snow on the hills on thursday as well. This is at Randolph’s Leap on the River Findhorn.  The day was so gloomy and dark but it allowed me […]

Cascade

Cascade – catching the flow as it drops over the edge down to the pool below, the sun just catching the top edge. A week of sun, showers, snow, frost, rain, wind, … have I missed anything out? ” When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. […]

Findhorn Gorge

River Findhorn gorge at Randolph’s Leap on a day of perfect sunshine and sparkle. The Findhorn is naturally dark-coloured by the peaty waters from the Monadliath mountains.  I find the gorge and surrounding forests a very energising place full of natural magic.  About 10 miles below the gorge the Findhorn reaches the sea at Findhorn […]

Going with the flow

Melting snow cascade catching the light, Monadliath mountains, Scotland. “… Going with the flow – releasing all concern and tension and allowing the natural order of life flow through one’s being.” According to the book of Chuang-tzu, an old man is seen by some followers of Confucious swimming in a raging torrent; suddenly, he disappears.
