Dribble castles, only inches tall
“Photos aren’t objective – they show what we want them to show.” Concepts aren’t objective: they reflect our thinking. Delusions aren’t objective. Our thinking is only our thinking. It is never the whole Truth. Like castles in the sand, permanence is delusion, size is delusion. Shifting perspective is the dance of the cosmos. (see this illustration of the Scale of the Universe) “Solid stone is just sand and water, baby/sand and water and a million years gone by.” (Beth Nielson Chapman – in a song she wrote for her late husband; click here to listen) Listening now, I wonder: what is ‘alone’? What is ‘death’? Listening beyond the end of the song, I hear a cardinal singing outside. I am not alone, and life is all around. That’s what I really want to show.

Fooled ya! 🙂
I love that Scale of the Universe thing… never seen those sand formations before.. very interesting Scilla
Those sand formations are made by scooping up a handful of very wet sand…or sandy water. Let it dribble from your fingertips, and a column will build before your eyes! I’ve loved doing that since my childhood. When Steve & I hit the beach on Lake Michigan that day, I instantly became a child again and started building dribble castles.
Imagine I am now 60 and I never knew that !!!
Quick! Go find a beach!
Great choice for the challenge!
Thanks, Stefano! Your travel shots are molto interessante!
wonderful texture in that photo — it pays to get up close
Brings back memories of the Lake Michigan shore, doesn’t it? Thanks for visiting, dear sister!
Scillagrace….The Queen of Dribble Castle.
There it sits, circled by Spitoon Moat, on a (rather sticky) hill overlooking Snot City……
Oh, you…you must be a native of Snot City! 😉
One of your loyal subjects….
