“If we shadows have offended,. Think but this, and all is mended—. That you have but slumbered here. While these visions did appear!” A Midsummer Night’s Dream
As everyone probably has guessed I am quite fond of dreamy images. Every photo here has a story behind it which to me is as important as the picture itself and if it doesn’t have a story I will suggest one.

first full day of sun on the west coast!!
Shipwrecks and an old lighthouse, ancient stones, doors and gateways, paths and forests; all have a role in histories, legends and/or symbolism;
the lighthouse keeper, ceremonies of the solstice in the North Sea , a mysterious gate and road leading into the woods, and old Treebeard, the story teller of the forest.
All are tales waiting to be told. I hope to tell a few of my own in my travels.

Wow, these are really awesome photos, especially the gateway to the mayan city of labna, I need to learn more about infrared photography, too, you’ve really inspired me with something new! ♥♥♥;^)

Infra red is very interesting and because it captures everything in a totally different way for me it has suggested all kinds of stories to write! Thank you for your visit Aisha!

thanks Josh. I love lighthouses and we have a few here ,The west coast of the island was once called by sailors “the graveyard of the Pacific” because of all the shipwrecks here.

thank you Robyn!! I love gateways and paths etc. And entering the Mayan gate was like entering their world – a very strange and fascinating one- with some very dark corners!! I loved the mystery of their culture and myth.

Yes, your images do have a very dreamy style to them – I like what/how they suggest another time, another place. I really enjoyed your “self portrait” shadow shot!
