Degrees of Abstraction by James Neeley Georgia O’Keeffe used the forms, shapes, patterns and colors of the natural world in her wonderful abstract art. If we, in photographing the world around us, see only the grand landscape, looking beyond these same elements that inspired O’keeffe as well as her friend Ansel Adams, we will miss much of the beauty and “essence” that can be captured by our lens and sensor!

Oceans are Dreams (James watkins) not hdr
Oceans are dreams, that rise and fall
beyond the conscious mind.
Vast volumed vaults transitioning-
rolling ridges ranging high.
Joined with all creation dance,
like liquid living beings-
quiet, dark depths of passion fire-
eternally careening.
Held in viscous vision,
caught between the separate worlds-
all heaven and earthy creature-
floating figured forms unfurled.
Ghosts-aglow and gaping-
gathered gremlins, timeless trails-
beyond all thought or reason-
hidden highways, watery veils.
Desperate, driven, hungry hunters-
casual commerce-bloody blades.
Liquid-larcened fathoms fallen,
fevered fits in cavalcade.
Contrasts, calm and constant-
consumation, cold desire-
carefully crushed by eons,
in vile volcanic fire.
Down some corridor they creep-
until in rest revealed-
unto the doubting dreamers-
caustic children, filled with fear.
Decisioned paths of plans performed,
adrift in thoughtless themes.
Gathered golden wisdom,
wrapped in scientific schemes.
Predetermined, parliamentary,
railing posted parts prevail-
racked with frail-formed falsities
in fictional detail.
Loving lost the guide unseen
that rules the changeless world-
and brings us back to view the sea
in vision’s vacuumed swirl.
Childlike faith-vast beauty breathed,
an author, bold and bare-
for silence sake, stark stepping stones-
it’s wealth unfolding fair.
Troll the tame and turning tide,
that flows in measured ebb.
Rolled rhythmic rows of constancy
in concentrated web.
Held hot the hidden history,
revealing holy fare-
formed fellowships and mysteries-
plain patterns painted there.
To see the unseen signature-
to touch the untouched realm-
to gaze at guardian glory, graced
by starred..Ascending..
Stair.

View from Rame Head by rosiespoonerphotos EXPLORE 117 – Thanks so much. I do like this photo a lot.
Coast line in East Cornwall. part of the forgotten corner of Cornwall. This peninsular can be seen for miles around. If you look closely, you can see a boat returning to Plymouth.
