National Geographic Photo Competition - Colorado Tornado

Another article the Daily Mail published with National Geographic Photographs..While many of the images, evoke extra sensory perception..One image is captured of a tornado in Colorado a reminder - of the words said by someone who recorded the aftermath of a tornado of utter destruction.

'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away' - how true this is.

We do not know how life will present it's many lessons or what we can learn by what we see and experience, what we conceptualise from visual expression and creative expression.



Photographs can offer a powerful statement...

A picture can sometimes say a 1000 words.

Sometimes we do not think of the consequences of our words or our actions - how they impact other people, whether for the greater good, or to cause harm, suffering and even much worse.

The eye that captures a moment in time with a camera - is meant to capture that moment...When we see through another persons eyes, we also expand our awareness too. When you share what you see, sense and understand, to some this might seem limited - complex or naive, but to many you will be sharing something that other people have not considered and this might expand their awareness too.

Google Maps and Google Earth is a concept that we can look to the earth and see what we did not consider before. There are people who have never travelled and even people who are housebound. Technology in it's every form is ever advancing and can be used for the greater good, or even for detrimental reasons - it is the same with a camera capturing a moment - visual evidence can be used to people's detriment too.

While many of us have heard of Black Magic chocolates.. Black Magic cameras are named too..We could discuss more but my purpose is just sharing; we are reminded Black Magic is taking place.

The intuitive person with a camera that does not require physical manipulation for the moment to capture the scene, person, situation or view - photography is a life enhancing gift. In the images in the article, we can look and study what else is seen - the finer detail that our eyes see, but out mind does not always bring our attention to what is important - Our eyes see all and our mind sorts out all by processing.

With photographs and play back of any visual expression we can examine what is presented...There are photographs published on the internet and even on the news that are powerfully expressive - powerful enough to evoke feelings and contribute to a shift in consciousness and awakening.

If we want to be spiritually awake - we cannot ignore 99% of what is happening in our world or even on our own doorstep. Causing positive change to occur by evoking consciousness - is magical...

Peace be with you
