Thus far autumn has offered us a beautiful transition with her just-right temperatures and multi-colored landscapes. In the past, it was not uncommon for her to allow winter a brief visit during the first half of November…but not this year. So this image submitted for The Girl Who Dreams Awake is of winter’s past.
Journey piled on journey
At a distance of a thousand years
Will you see?
From the pines of Sue,
To the living pine groves
~Izumi Skikibu
No trail to follow
where the teacher has wandered off —
the end of autumn

Going through the gate,
I am also a wanderer
this twilight in autumn.

Compared to last year,
this has even more loneliness –
autumn evening.

Nancy’s photo challenge for this week is: Shine, “Has the sunshine or any other light source caused you to stop because it’s highlighting something you didn’t notice before?”
The design of this building; that is, the way it’s structure invited light and shadow to play with it’s mirrors and windows, not only caused me to stop it also invited me to revisit the building at different times of the day to “be in awe” of how it reflected ongoing changes of the weather as well as the sun’s journey.
To see we must first forget the name of the thing we are looking at.

I have found that shifting focus towards a shop window invites me to See Differently.
