The Great Wall by musicmuse_ca on Flickr.Via Flickr: “September 1961” by Denise Levertov This is the year the old ones, the old great ones leave us alone on the road. The road leads to the sea. We have the words in our pockets, obscure directions. The old ones have taken away the light of their presence, we see it moving away over a hill off to one side. They are not dying, they are withdrawn into a painful privacy learning to live without words. EP “It looks like dying”-Williams: “I can’t describe to you what has been happening to me”- H. D. “unable to speak.” The darkness twists itself in the wind, the stars are small, the horizon ringed with confused urban light-haze. They have told us the road leads to the sea, and given the language into our hands. We hear our footsteps each time a truck has dazzled past us and gone leaving us new silence. One can’t reach the sea on this endless road to the sea unless one turns aside at the end, it seems, follows the owl that silently glides above it aslant, back and forth, and away into deep woods. But for us the road unfurls itself, we count the words in our pockets, we wonder how it will be without them, we don’t stop walking, we know there is far to go, sometimes we think the night wind carries a smell of the sea…Unesco

inner peace.. by PNike on Flickr.Via Flickr: My newly created Facebook page: Moments | Photography After a short break from Flickr, here is another shot from the street shopping in Siem Reap. Being a Buddhist nation, you will find all sorts of Buddha painting and artifacts in the market. I love using my 50mm f1.8 when I go on the street because it gives me a lot of interesting opportunities like this but of course to do the entire range of street captures you need to be really equipped with many different lenses and I’m still in the infant stages when it comes to that. Hopefully some day I will have all the equipment that I desire. Enjoy your Sunday, my friends. Thanks for your visit!

Indian Blue Peafowl by Foto Martien on Flickr.Via Flickr: The Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus), also known as the Common Peafowl or the Blue Peafowl, is one of two species of bird in the genus Pavo of the Phasianidae family. The peacock is the national bird of India and the provincial bird of the Punjab (Pakistan). The national carrier of Sri Lanka, Sri Lankan Airlines uses a Peacock as its company logo. The Indian Peafowl is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent and has been introduced into many parts of the world; feral populations exist in many countries. The species is found in dry semi-desert grasslands, scrub and deciduous forests. It forages and nests on the ground but roosts in trees. Females (the peahens) are about 95 cm long and weigh 2.75–4 kg, while males (the peacocks) average at about 2.12 m in full breeding plumage (107 cm) and weigh 4–6 kg. The Indian Peacock has iridescent blue-green plumage. The upper tail coverts on its back are elongated and ornate with an eye at the end of each feather. These are the Peacock’s display feathers. The female plumage is a mixture of dull green, grey and iridescent blue, with the greenish-grey predominating.De blauwe pauw (Pavo cristatus) is een vogel uit de orde van de Hoendervogels. Net als de andere pauwrassen, is ook de blauwe pauw een kleurrijke vogel. De pauw is waarschijnlijk de oudst bekende siervogel. De blauwe pauw komt van oorsprong voor in India en op Sri Lanka, maar wordt vrijwel over de hele wereld succesvol gehouden en gefokt. Het zijn alleseters die zich voeden met zowel insecten, slakken en wormen als bessen en zaden. Hoewel ze de grootste tijd op de grond doorbrengen, kunnen ze als het nodig is vliegen. Ze overnachten meestal op een boomtak of in een struik. Het verschil tussen de geslachten is erg duidelijk; de mannelijke dieren hebben pronkveren (sleep), die ze uitzetten tijdens de balts. Daarnaast is hun voorlichaam felblauw van kleur. De vrouwtjes zijn bruinachtig. De lengte van de haan 180 - 230 cm, waarvan de sleep 140 tot 160 cm bedraagt. Hen 90 - 100 cm. In gevangenschap blijken blauwe en groene pauwen gemakkelijk te kruisen. Veel gehouden kweekrassen van de blauwe pauw zijn de witte pauw (bruidspauw), de bonte of gevlekte pauw en de zwartvleugelpauw.
