I can only marvel at them. You really should exhibit them to a larger public. I am sure you could make a pretty penny, not necessarily even selling the mounted work but letting people order prints. I hope you do not withhold this wonder from other discerning eyes.<br />Obviously when you took the photos you were looking with the eyes of a child or your good friend.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-31206517677431199972014-10-13T22:13:27.743+01:002014-10-13T22:13:27.743+01:00Beautiful post, John, we would all do better to st...Beautiful post, John, we would all do better to stop and stare sometimes.jennyfreckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221511824958069710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-72598695477550462142014-10-11T14:18:36.978+01:002014-10-11T14:18:36.978+01:00wow these are stunning!wow these are stunning!Sally Tharpe Rowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782027642498401036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-42347516798246738762014-10-09T00:35:44.382+01:002014-10-09T00:35:44.382+01:00Great shots and very artistic John.Great shots and very artistic John.Roy Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054701497328213666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-53661261923551267652014-10-08T09:00:40.848+01:002014-10-08T09:00:40.848+01:00There is a lot more to see in nature than we ever ...There is a lot more to see in nature than we ever imagined and you have captured some of it with these extraordinary shots.

I'm marveled at your photography; the photos made me understand there are melody and rhythm. I like the 3rd image best. 6th image reminds me of Hokusai’s waves, and some images remind me of Japanese art “Suminagashi”, Indian ink marbling, or the swirling patterns created by collaboration of a person and water. I like to watch the surface of water and enjoy the ever-changing patterns and colors and when I capture the moment with my camera, the result is much more magically beautiful than I see with my eyes. “Just because we can't normally see it, doesn't mean it's not real.” Is so true.<br /><br />I love water, too, thought I don’t do the same thing like your friend. One of my sweetest memories as a child is I woke up to the sound of running water from the kitchen where my late mother prepared breakfast early in the morning. Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Yoko<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.com
