white lines
fringed with mini suns

Rising 2021...

How wonderful that magic is still alive and well...
The Sidney Myer Music Bowl has been part of Melbourne’s entertainment scene since 1959.
Nature has taken over the entire Sidney Myer Music Bowl for RISING 2021. Enter through a bamboo forest + encounter mirrored illusions... https://t.co/DmXYrOWQJa

Lake Pamarmaroo...

Gorgeous view of Lake Pamarmaroo, Menindee 19/5/21.
The lake is about 100km south of Broken Hill, NSW and is the 2nd largest of the Menindee lakes...https://t.co/Yoez5uEbw4 pic.twitter.com/WlLHsgoWHC

beyond Eurovision...

Beyond Eurovision...
Imagine Gjon's Tears + Barbara Pravi in duet...
Both are wells of endless, emotional power...
Could it happen? pic.twitter.com/5NN0xzPdlP

PASSING THOUGHT: Eurovision public voting...
I wonder to what extent body appeal + posture/posturising + special effects contribute to the public final vote on a song...
Further, it could be interesting to note the age range of the viewing audience...
It's not all about the song? pic.twitter.com/JMUiziDdTk

inspiration mirror...

PASSING THOUGHT: Avoid the inspiration mirror...
Imitating a writer or image maker
= a photoshopped replica...
Where are you?...
Seek the wheelbarrows of life
and give them a voice...
a meaning...
And then, your voice can be heard...
and felt... pic.twitter.com/NEPjN0ucNe

For the record, I support the jury voting - Switzerland's
Gjon's Tears in 1st place...
A beautiful personality shining through a beautiful song...
refreshing relief from the explosion of 'wham bam' glitz...
In the final count, Gjon's Tears placed 3rd... pic.twitter.com/lhRPWEzgUA

Eurovision 2021 - Adored the unique, magnetic sounds of France's Barbara Pravi's voice...
Placed 2nd...
Whispers of Edith Piaf in her voice blended with so much more...her roots extending through her grandparents to Serbia, Iran, Poland and North Africa.https://t.co/LtiAY4QRkF
