Light Support

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Structure next to Flinders Yacht Club, Mornington Peninsula. The tiny hub of its watchtower activity is supported by stilts. But the red and green lights, in particular, give support to yachts launching and entering the shallow waters close to shore. Yes, it is a little like support given by lighthouses. But rather than warning of hazards, keeping boats away from dangers near shores, this "lighthouse" guides boats into the shoreline. (The landing area is in the same vicinity as the launching area.) Traffic lights for boats!

PhotoHunt prompt #119: What IS that?

I am there
When your landscape is misty
I am there
When your sails are old
I am there
When you feel lost
I am there
When your spirit is
Cold

Over 50! And Motoring!

T.S.Eliot's poetry has never failed to intoxicate me! In fact, his sunlight on a broken column, his midnights and lamp posts, his female rhythms mouthing Michelangelo pleasantries are all bound up in the "overwhelming question" of our real biorhythms and souls! ~ We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. ~~~~Ray Bradbury ~~~~ Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~~~Anton Chekhov ~~~ Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ~Angela Monet

AUSTRALIAN BLOGGER

Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.- T.S.Eliot .............................. My page was too white/My ink was too thin/The day wouldn’t write/What the night pencilled in -'The Book of Longing' Leonard Cohen..................... Creative discord of fractured harmonies! Between the Question and the Answer is A Hush... A Whisper... A Dreaming...

The grit of raw desert lands whirls on the winds in erotic rhythms - sometimes. - Greyscale
