The Beauty of Hands...

Fortune tellers say your life plan is mapped out through the palms of your hands. That through each individual line it already determines your fate...Can it be true?

These hands...They give us the ability to touch, feel, embrace and entwine. They are built to endure hardships since we use them everyday.

They allow us to grasp onto things that we love. Indulging in the ability to feel more than from the heart...That if you can feel somebody, you know they are there.

Our hands that wipe away tears and reassure weary hearts...We have never known how important they are to our way of life. The only thing that brings us back to reality when we are lost in a dream. The only thing that has spaces between that allows another's to entwine....

These hands although they come in all shapes,sizes and colours - have a clear purpose..

One Country, Different Cities...

From the city to the mountains to the wall...I have travelled and I have experienced the beauty of different cities in the same country. Similar cuisines - different tastes.

Never knowing that each city was beautiful in it's own way...from the modern to the ancient. It's truly amazing how much a civilization can evolve.

From the city lights and skyscrapers to the sanctuary of mountains that are covered by a canopy of trees and stone paths. There is a vast difference between time and space.

A wall that stretches beyond the peaks of mountains, that served as a protector and one of the wonders of the world. A spectacular sight to see. The crisp air that filled my lungs when trailing the outskirts of the wall...unforgettable. 

Travelling through time...unaware of difference of culture - blocked my senses. Lost in a world I thought I knew enough about. However, it turned out to be something more valuable that I learnt. 

The value of diversity and understanding

The Little Things in Life...

Take a breath, slow down and let's take a look at the little things in life.

[Chanellepedrucophotography2011]

Everything starts out small, before it grows....we forget how small we were, so therefore we are blind to the small things that surround us. The predators that we become to those that are vulnerable and incapable of protecting themselves. 

[Chanellepedrucophotography2011]

We are almost blinded by a ray of light that crosses through our minds. Blind to the colours that fill the canvas of life. Our eyes deceive our perception... 

Let us blink for a second and focus....

[Chanellepedrucophotography2010]

Sharpening our instincts; our smell, taste, touch...fill the void within our hearts that takes us back to the little things in life.

We do more than exist, we live....like flora and fauna. Don't forget who we were or who we are...Take a step back and breathe - deep long breaths.

Let's start again. 

Welcome to my blog! Where expression of the heart,soul and mind transcends the existence of life.
