Picture Perfect - Illumination

 
Picture Perfect 2008/#13
 Theme : Illumination
Camera : Canon IXUS I
Date Taken : 2007 Sep
 
Took this picture "Brighter Side of a wall" in one of the hotel rooms during one of my sleepless nights.
 

 
So far my life has always been of the darker side ...
However, I tell myself :
"Don't Worry, Never Give Up !
There's always the brighter side that I can look forward to,
and it is awaiting for me to have the courage to take a step forward and cross over ..."
 
May Yours Have Already and Always Been of the Brighter Side...

  2. Amazing image to match the words of your caption, Dreamz. I think we all have that feeling every so often. But are we truly living if we're not faced with some adversity at times? Hang in there and may your dreams and goals always take you to a brighter side.

  4. Tis like a golden ray of light beaming from a white hot sun ... most illuminating.
    (better said that way than a lightbulb close to a wall)

    You also have a grand weekend 8=)

  7. this is a great shot and this is my take on it we have a dark and light at the bottom (represents hell or bad/confusion) meaning the two merge together no defined borders and boundaries... as move higher (towards heaven or good/understanding ) the dark and light are more distinguished we see a clear line between the two..thus we have enlightenment or ILLUMINATION of a spiritual and inner variety...well that and its pretty...from the words written as the lead in thats how my mind worked it...jgh

  28. I absolutely LOVE this photo! The light and the dark is all jumbled up together, there's light in the dark, and dark in the light....without contrast, nothing would stand out :)

  36. I've been in that sleepless place many times when my thoughts don't shut down and you're right there's a choice of how we look at life ...positive in the light or at the dark side and negatively...glad you choose to see the positive side. Nice abstract effect of the photo.

  37. The swirls on the wall made for a wonderful effect when part of it was illuminated by the light!

  39. Nice capture Dreamz. (just thinking, isn't your nickname somewhat ironic based on this post?)

    When I can't sleep I turn on someone boring on the radio. Works most of the time.
