Some people have a jackpot, others have a song.
Some find direction while others never seem to belong.
In this world there's always openess that beckons our minds to 'walk'..
And to discover, in the process, endless horizons that silently 'talk'.
They speak a language of simplicity where colours transform and bring life,
They speak of daredevils and musicians whose talents transfix our minds.
The moon can light a silver stairway, the sun can create a fireworks show,
A reflection can be mirrored perfection, a blue sky can become white craziness to earthlings below.
So....look out for that rainbow, don't miss those lines in the sand,
Cause nature delivers impromptu messages that we can truly understand.

Surfing 2010

" As birds sweep through the clouds, their wings unfold, just like surfers slash the waves, their dreams are told.
The waves are their glory, the morning sun lights their way,time is an endless landscape, when natures power and majesty fires up their day.
Their energy is relentless , their appreciation divine, they become part of a magnetism that totally transforms their mind.
They become one with the ocean as they hear the dolphins cry, "Live peacefully and in harmony and feel your soul fly."
For tomorrow is not guarenteed, today is a blessing. Make each moment tangible, for there's no time for regression.
Life's a journey that sways with the tides, so roll with it, embrace it and awaken broken dreams that somehow got lost in time."

Tasmania

When we're in the heart of a place it's strange how we just know,
the reason behind it's secret, inner glow.
The answer starts with a trickle, like droplets of a river being born,
then it circles our being, like a raptor chasing thermals in the eye of a storm.
Until finally we are 'cradled' by the spirit of Tasmania,
With it's mountains and lakes breathing out their own, distinctive flavour.
My days in this haven were only but a few,
Yet it's tastes and smells are still like fresh morning dew.

Panoramic Rivers and Lakes

contact@michaelhruby.com.au (Michael Hruby Photography) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

We live in a parallel universe of glass houses and satin sheets,
if we lift the 'covers' of materialism, true beauty lies right at our feet.
It's out there...waiting...beseeching us to discover,
the sense of belonging, purpose and understanding that nature hopes we will uncover.
Why hide in the darkness and shun the light?
Why disguise the pain of our miseries and strife?
Go and be still at these waters...search your soul,
let the reflections and colours heal you; leaving you feeling 'whole'.
Stare silently into the surface and slow your mind till it touches your heart...
You will hear your voice of truth and start to understand who you really are.

Panoramic Sydney

contact@michaelhruby.com.au (Michael Hruby Photography) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

For many, the F3 is the path of frustration we have to traverse to work,
But if we cast our eyes heavenward, there is beauty that lurks.
The early morning light illuminates bridges, buildings, walkways and famous sails,
Of a cosmopolitan backdrop to life in the fast lane.....
where diversity, grandeur, history and iconic sights prevail.

Panoramic Seascapes

contact@michaelhruby.com.au (Michael Hruby Photography) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Our eyes are the beholders of beauty that sets our souls free,
In these images we see this witnessed in the picturesque beauty of sunrises and sunsets over sea.
Here I feel I captured rare moments of beauty, frozen in time,
Palettes of colour, vast stretches of land and ocean so vividly etched in my mind.
The images are... simplicity, splendour, majestic contenders,
for a slice of nature's heaven that is so delicately blended

Panoramic Country

contact@michaelhruby.com.au (Michael Hruby Photography) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Our agendas are established, routine leaves us feeling 'blue',
But a visit to the country is a guarenteed renewal.
Deep breathing in wide open spaces or a stroll through forests of mist,
Wafting in the fresh smell of earth, or simply lookin out over that bridge..making a wish.
We can dance on carpets of colour or peer into ghostly structures that stand alone.....
Whether it's ploughing time on the farm or a summer picnic by the lake,
the country will always have it's own unique charm and that warm feeling of 'home'.

Most days we hang suspended like a thin thread, wishing to fly,
We curse the working hours that leave us wrinkled and dry.
Our hopes and dreams slip further and further away,
Smothering our nights and darkening our days.
We can step out of the bubble, inside which it's so easy to hide,And pursue the yearning to keep our dreams alive.
For round every corner shines a beam of light,That will soften our sorrows and lift us to new heights.
At the end of the day, it's our choice to wither or fly,For we must find our purpose to live and celebrate with souls alive.

Panoramic Waterfalls

contact@michaelhruby.com.au (Michael Hruby Photography) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

There comes a time when our footsteps will no longer walk this earth, but we can leave behind legacies about our environment and self-worth.
Some folk tell it in Dreamtime Stories of a dry, parched land, others tell it in 'valuables' they've held in the palm of their hand.
There are those that find upliftment in quiet, religious places, for their faith helps them communicate with 'forever-to-be' remembered faces.
When we have traversed these cascading waterfalls and captured beauty frozen in time, we can leave a sense of purpose from the realms of the divine.
The cycle of life keeps rolling till our souls are Heavenward bound.
What will be your legacy that is felt and found?

Lightning Photography

contact@michaelhruby.com.au (Michael Hruby Photography) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Flashes of brilliance in an unnerving sky, like a ziplock of silver that dazzles the eye.
Our bodies dance to it's rhythms that encapsulate the night, our hearts pump to the wonder of 'sky shapes' that entice.
Those flashes are like a movie of deep intrigue, that electrocute and 'poison' the air that we breathe.
It's momentary madness that shakes us to the core, yet it's a magnet to our system, an invitation to a 'Heavenly Ball'.

Autumn

contact@michaelhruby.com.au (Michael Hruby Photography) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Nature has shed it's skin. The earth is bathed in soft, warm glows. Neighbourhoods are ablaze with rich blends of red, brown and other fiery colours. Once again, we welcome Autumn's visit and marvel at it's touch. This is an Autumn story as told through my lens; to be savoured before the blanketing of the harsh winter chill.
