When you are walking in the forests all over the world, you often see a sign with the following words (known as “Prayer of the Forest”), in different languages:

Man, I am the warmth of your home in cold winter night and the protective shade when summer’s sun is strong!
I am the frame work of the roof to your house and the top of your table the bed in which you sleep
and the timber with which you fashion your boat. I am the handle to your hoe and the door to your hut.
I am the wood of your cradle and the boards of your coffin. I am the bread of your kindness and the flower of beauty.
Hear my prayer: Destroy me not
 

– HANNES TUCH (German verderer)

These photos were taken on a beautiful early morning at the Lake of Balaton, Hungary. There was a short sandy beach, and the rising sun touched the ripples of the sand.

Inspirational songs are:
Grateful Dead – Ripple,
Genesis – Ripples and
Beth Nielsen Chapman – Sand and Water.

Songs from a Secret Garden (released April 16, 1996.) is the first international album by Secret Garden. It includes the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1995, “Nocturne”.
Secret Garden is an Irish-Norwegian duo playing new instrumental music, also sometimes erroneously known as neo-classical music. Secret Garden features the Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry and the Norwegian composer-pianist Rolf Løvland.

These photos are flowers, leaves and seeds from my “secret garden”.

The refractions of light using a colour glass.

“Man, Sub-creator, the refracted light
through whom is splintered from a single White
to many hues, and endlessly combined
in living shapes that move from mind to mind”


– J.R.R. TOLKIEN – TREE AND LEAF

Harmony is when the sum is greater than the parts. A happy exaggeration.
– JANE SIBERRY

Art is a harmony parallel with Nature.
