“Of all the paths you take in life,
make sure a few of them are dirt” – John Muir
Have you sat still in some place and listened to the silence ?
Does your stillness stir you ?
Here are some random landscapes from the places I have been fortunate to reach so far. Hope these remind you of some places you have been to.

Landscapes
My search is through time and space,
To moments they don’t belong;
Each search has threads
To new ways, like a never ending song.
Thoughts wander to clouds I see,
Drifting off from fields of view;
I have landscapes within me,
That I’m sending out to you.

Sublime !
.Couldn’t take my eyes off..Queesntown, NZ…
Thank you @Anjna ! Glad some places resonate with you / stir you 🙂
Each picture captured is a canvas out of the fourth dimension (The One after L, B & W – i.e. T as revealed by Einstein ‘long ago..!’) …. If not viewed ‘as such’, it is difficult to comprehend the surreal beauty, that the author saw, before he took the final call to ‘take away these and store them in the attic of his heart….
Thanks ‘Jo’ … You are being ‘Good’ as you ‘Break Free’ and decide to reveal each one back to the world, in a way that, one can stop and admire, feel and absorb, awe and wonder….
This surely has stirred the ‘Fourth’ in me… “I Remember. Vividly….. That Moment of Awe…..
Keep It Going, …. ?️ ingJo…
Dear Mankawaljeet,
Wow ! Thank you for such a striking review and generous praise.
I am glad that it resonated well with you.
Happy landings !!
I like the Rann of Kutch… Ebbing into infinity. Catches the pulse of the area.
Very vivid memories of Hanle… My Yashika refused to click inside in 1988… The Monk told me not to do so… Then stood aside with a small smile when I insisted. It clicked outside.
Sir, Am glad that you were stirred too !!
Thank you for taking out time.
Rainbows everywhere you go .. apt sir.
Thanks Nats !
Lucky you! Have a few on my bucket list too, hopefully soon. Keep sharing.
Thank you Avinash ! Keep your dreams alive.
