“Who knows what true loneliness is – not the conventional word but the naked terror? To the lonely themselves it wears a mask. The most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion.”

The replacement to my defective Monochrom has arrived. I’m not exactly sure what I’ll be doing with this thing, but I know it will take me in a different direction.

Another test shot (no burnt pixels, yay!).

Early morning in paradise.

Such a soothing scene, at least for me.

Where I am now: totally different, but at least it’s sunny today.

–

This was taken in the early morning, at first light.

The scene was beautiful enough, with the moon over the palm trees, but as I was setting up to photograph, a rainbow appeared and stayed long enough for me to fire off a few shots… and then it disappeared as quickly as it had emerged. It never came back.

Definitely one of Life’s Little Moments.
