tinywoolf: corner view ≈ motion

firstly, foremostly. you corner viewers rock! cheers for the 1974 comments from last week... i've got to say, i could not have imagined, in my 1974 mood and mode that, 'back' in the distant future, that very moment would be gently scrutinized as such. it warmed my ancient ♥. cheers! grateful for this week's liberating theme too, cole! (on jane's corner view, hosted by francesca's fuoriborgo).

motion is a well stocked folder on my external database. rather, in my place i call it moving and moved pictures. occasionally dropping off an image, i have assembled a divine little private library, that soothes me if need be. for motion, i find, is the fibre of life. without motion, we would obviously be remote. without feeling motion, we could be shallow. without the adventure of motion, i would surely wilter. i don't think i can explain what follows. i don't even want to.

view from a train on a grey day filled with heavenly water

passing another train on that same grey day

a passer-by, clad in jeans, in ghent

boy diving, almost, in bruges

when starting blogging in 2007 (in flemish),
this was my very first header. ever.

actually, same train, 5 years onwards
(downloaded phone just now...)

love your pictures in motion. would there be life without the notion of motion i am wondering...constantly churning the wheels spinning creating beginning and ending life. the round wheel turns. sometimes your on top, sometimes OUCH.

pretty motions :) Ik hou van onderweg zijn, een stukje niemandsland, waar je gedachten vrij zijn..

reminds me of a song from my childhood...I Hear Motion by The Models:
Now let it out
Shout to the Night
And so it goes
I hear motion
Just count it out
Shout in your sleep
And say the word
I hear motion

Beautiful series of motion! Now I have a song in my mind, it's "Train of Thought" from A-ha. ;o)

Ha, thanks for flattering me, my dear! The 80s were my youth and I was so in love for the 1st time with Morten from A-ha... ;-D

Love your words and photos dear!
Motion, ha what a great subject, we all wouldn't be here without it, it's a great comfort when feeling bad; everything will pass, it makes one feel so alive; fly, jump ,dance, it's beautiful to look at; sea, clouds, history, it can be slow or fast, big or small but is is always there, everywhere, XX

I really like all the photos. Especially the second on the train, the colors are great.

awesome shots! you make me want to have a train trip, I do not have one since I was a child!

Very, very interesting photos. I looked at the actual header of your travel-blog and again saw motion, saw the wind swinging the laterns.

Concerning St. Phalle: Yes, the newer work is indeed universal, as you call it. And overused. I'm kind of tired seeing that or copies of it. Of course it's 'easy art', sells easy.
And for me it's easy, when I'm teaching art in younger grades. It's so appropriate.
St. Phalle's earlier work and her ideas for universal stuff are much more, how to say 'artful'.

greetings
Tally

Love the motion thoughts and the sentiments behind them- here-here!
DonMay 11, 2011 at 7:26 PM
I like these they feel very personal. Good motion and emotion.

LOVE that train photo!!!
FrancescaMay 12, 2011 at 6:55 AM
This is beautiful - the words and the photos! So well said.
PS how many headers have you had?
RedekerMay 12, 2011 at 9:06 AM
you have quite some motion yourself too!! travelling and all that! everytime your photo's are a joy for my eyes ( and everytime i realize...i can write in dutch too! hahaha....what a motion!)

The travel motions symbol the inner motions, or the need for inner motion. I think we can substitute "motion" for "flow" at any given time.

Lucky for us you didn't quit blogging back in 2007!

You, N, are　at one with motion! (oh, everyone must tell you that:))
These are beauties, and you tell a moving story, which continues in each post...
Congratulations on your blogging history too, each moment a movement and a still...
These feel very cinematographic too by the way.

shayndelMay 12, 2011 at 9:15 AM
PS ,did I make a faux pas with the "N",
I realize you generally go by "n"

Your motion filled pictures are wonderful ... I can't imagine what would happen if I wasn't always moving forwards ...

Sitting here waiting for a Plumber to arrive, feel like I've gotten to take a very special train ride!
KariMay 12, 2011 at 8:17 PM
great photos - love the boy looking to dive.
FrancescaMay 13, 2011 at 10:04 PM
it would seem that none of my comments on bloggers blogs got saved. I commented on how much I loved your words. And also asked how many headers you've had so far :)
TheresaMay 14, 2011 at 8:34 AM
GREAT first header!
