The word MEANDER comes from Maiandros, the Greek name for a winding river in Turkey.

Over time this word has meant: confusion, to wander aimlessly, a winding passage.

I love it, b/c the river & the word make me think of a dotty old man's path as he wanders around the house looking for his keys.

The Menderes River in Greece, the source of the word Meander. A picture of a river not a straight line but running left to right and back again, like a squiggle from an infants pen. It is surrounded by green fields.

Follow the Light.

I love photographing nature. Further, there are endless photographic possibilities when immersing yourself in forests. Both forest types - the well kept and paved, as well as the 100% natural and relatively untouched forest land.

La faccia urlante in copertina, primissimo piano del 21st Century Schizoid Man, è un dipinto alterato del vero viso di Barry Godber, che prima di essere artista era un programmatore di computer. Nel retro si vede l'orecchio.

Dipinto raffigurante un primo piano di un uomo con il volto un po' caricaturale con bocca aperta che urla, e occhi e naso sgranati, come se l'uomo guardasse verso il suo orecchio che poi è sul retro della copertina.

#SkySunday #Stunday good morning, friends! The storm is slowly approaching and it’s cloudy with winds. Here’s an archive #SunriseMagic on the #CTShoreline with clouds and drama. #landscape #photography #reflections I hope you have a wonderful day! Stay safe if you’re in the path of the storm!

As the sun rises higher in the sky the clouds that blanketed the cove are painted in bright orange colors. The water has a bit of ripples in the distance and calm in the foreground. The sky and landscape are reflected on the water.

A pink rose. In the center of the rose, the rose petals form a heart. The background is blurred green.

Good morning #BlueSky ☕️ Welcome to Carlow in Ireland with a small poem l wrote in the Alt text. Have a glorious day friends ☺️ #Stunday #EastCoastKin #Photography #Ireland
#ImageAndVerse #PhotographyOfBlueSky #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Rivers #Trees #Boats #NaturePhotography #Summer #AltText #Sunday

After the picture description, l have a poem l have written to capture the feeling of this scene.

Our photograph captures a calm riverside scene in a small town called Carlow not far from me here in Ireland.

The river glimmers in shades of deep blue beneath a clear evening sky. In the center of the image stands a small island overgrown with thick, lush trees and shrubs, their dark green leaves filling the frame.

Around the water’s edge sit quiet homes, a few with faded walls and slate rooftops, some with small boats tied nearby. Wooden docks stretch out from the right, where life rings hang neatly and the water laps gently below.

In the distance, rolling green hills rise softly, dotted with fields and scattered houses, their outlines fading into the cool blue of twilight. The air feels still, peaceful, reflective, and timeless.

And finally, our picture is finished off with a thin white border frame. Now for our Poem

I call this “The Island Between”

Beneath a sky of evening hue,
Where river whispers wander through,
An island sleeps with willow’s grace,
A secret kept in nature’s place.

The hills lean close, the waters sigh,
Soft echoes hum as boats drift by,
And though the town begins to fade,
The island dreams where time is stayed.

No sound of man, no toll of bell,
Just leaf and wind in gentle swell,
Between the banks where worlds divide,
The heart of stillness dares to hide.

Have a great day my friends.
