Perhaps the desire to take photographs arises from the observation that on the broadest view, from the standpoint of reason, the world is a great disappointment. In its details, however, and caught by surprise, the world always has a stunning clarity.
— Jean Baudrillard, The Transparency of Evil: Essays on Extreme Phenomena (Radical Thinkers). Translated by James Benedict (Verso, June 9, 2009)
Notes:
- Beth, thank you for the quote via Alive on All Channels
- DK Photo at 7:09 am at Cove Island Park this morning. More shots from this morning’s glorious sunrise here.
That’s at least one reason why I do!
Me too!
Well…. obviously! 😉
😐
What’s that face for?
Smiley Happy Face in agreement!!!!
That’s the “meh” emoji. OMG you’re helpless!
Ohhhhhhh…..
🤣😂
LOL!
Oh… It looked like the straight line face instead of a smiley. I take it back 😀
Well thank you! Apparently I don’t get emojis and sent the wrong one!!!
Understood!
A glorious reminder to pause and notice the gifts of life itself.
Yes. Exactly!
Great shot!
Thank you!

Sometimes I worry you’re actually talking to me…. Then I realize you’re talking to yourself. 😑
Glad we both got to see that Rise today! Incredible shots DK!
Lost.
Most mornings. Yes. Yes….you are.

Thank you Beth.
“The world is a great disappointment? “ it kind of ruins the photo.
Awwwww
Very special photo Dave!
Thanks for sharing the beauty!
Thanks Paul!
👍
All the photos are lovely, but the one you took / posted here is phenomenal! 😉 It seems like the main sun-kissed cloud formation has a protecting, guiding archangel above it — well, I guess that’d be an archcloud! Just gorgeous!
“Archcloud!” Yes! Thank you.
Beautiful colours and layers.
Thank you!
What a beautiful picture, so many elements and colours and offerings to a new day.
Thank you Claire!
I disagree that the world is ever a disappointment. People, on the other hand? Yikes.
Truth!!!!
