Pause

South Harbor. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. 7 June 2012.

Twilight — a time of pause when nature changes her guard.  All living things would fade and die from too much light or too much dark, if twilight were not.

~ Howard Thurman

Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.

~ Sebastian Vettel

Let’s have a seat on the shore of South Harbor in Cape Breton, and pause for a little while.  Watch the sunset.  Listen to the sounds of the water lapping on the shore.  Feel the breeze.  You’ll need a jacket or a sweatshirt or a sweater, but it’s not too cold since we’re time traveling back to last June.  The scent of the air is wonderfully green with a hint of saltiness from the ocean that is just beyond the harbor.  Twilight seems to linger for a long while here, as if someone has pushed the pause button.

The benefit of seeing… can only come if you pause a while, extricate yourself from the maddening mob of quick impressions ceaselessly battering our lives, and look thoughtfully at a quiet image… the viewer must be willing to pause, to look again, to meditate.

~ Dorothea Lange

Sometimes the photographer needs to extricate herself from the maddening mob of quick impressions, too.  Enjoy this scheduled post.  I’ll be back in a day or two.

Be good, be kind, be loving, just Be.  :)
