Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ VCE Centre ~ 3 The pic is taken from my upstairs staffroom, looking down on a classroom below.
Windows always fascinate me. They provide a great place for dreaming from the inside. Or a great place for curiosity from the outside.

ReadWritePoem prompt ~ Imagination
~
From this hybrid place of learning
It is good to see
Nature's learning centre
Performing seasonal wisdom ~
And imagining
That a couple of blue beams ~
On an outer wall of another classroom ~
Look remarkably like
A Cross
~
Strange
A summer window
Would only be filled
With the green life
Of summer leaves

There is something about exploring the imagination that gives a final sense of peace and happiness. Here are two somewhat dark journeys into the imagination, inspired by an experiment with my digital camera. One is called Grey Filters and the other is Moon shadow . Both are on AuraGem Songlines.
I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman

I like the layers of images, the hybrid place, the cross, the window. This is a wonderful way to think about the imagination.
lately i have been getting as much pleasure out of the photographs as i have the words.. you really have an eye... and i love the aura gem badge too.. very nice..
i love the contrast between the scene in summer with that of the bare trees and how bareness makes so many things more visible...
