My cloud is waiting for me. She will gently carry me away, cotton-soft...
I have everything I need in my backpack (I hope so). Drifting on, I'll try to collect my thoughts and sort out several matters.
Many thanks to my visitors, especially my followers. Being part of this community is a wonderful experience for me - every day a marvellous inspiration and an opportunity to learn. Now is a good moment to say thank you for the many nice comments I received for my shared pictures.
Unfortunately, I was not able to look at your photos as carefully and thoroughly as I would like, especially recently. The circumstances are sometimes unfavorable. I also often felt the limits of my language skills for English. I was hoping you would be lenient with me.
I intend to visit this great community every now and then, enjoying your pictures and your special ways of looking at and interpreting the world.
Stunning - you will be missed. Your photos are always inspiring and beautiful. Your English is superb. I hope all gets better in your world soon. Pop back when you can :-) FAV
This image - as with all your others is just amazing!! You will be missed - your images are truly an inspiration and I very much look forward to seeing your photos every now and then. Take care on your journey - wherever it may take you. 😎
ah jerome i am always amazed by your english! and your images are superbly eloquent in themselves. fare well and go gently on your journey and i do hope that we will see you back here whenever you are able
You are a true treasure and I always so looked forward to your beautiful, poignant and thoughtful images. I will surely miss you, please stop by now and again. Happy Trails to you!!!
My back pack is packed too so can I join you on this magical trip to the cloud - it looks so inspiring :) This is a stunning capture Jerome which speaks for itself. Please have a safe journey and send messages back when you can. And by the way, your English is terrific and if your cloud drifts towards Australia please get in contact. Au revoir mon amie :) fav
A stunning and creative image Jerome. It really catches the eye. I hope your time in the clouds is healing and so very helpful in helping you in your life. You & your spectacular images will be missed here.
You will be missed...your stunning images and thoughtful words are an inspiration to us all.
Wishing you safe travels and all the best for your journey 🌼
We will be waiting for you to come back. Your eye on the world is unique and your skills in presenting the world through your eye are inspirational. Take care!
oooh, i will miss you. good luck to all your endeavors and adventures. I hope things will turn out well for you ! again, what a great picture. You (and your pics) were a real inspiration to me ! You can find me on orion5d.com (just in case...) . Take care.
Jerome, so glad you stopped in for a while! You are always an inspiration. Hope to see you here occasionally. Wishing you happy trails and take care of yourself. See you next time.
You are such a talented photographer, Jerome, and I have enjoyed your work. As you said in your comment, you will visit 365 as time permits. Take care.
Jerome, you're an inspiration and a role model - I have an enormous respect for your integrity. Thanks for the time you’ve spent with us... go well and safely my friend.
Love this creation. I have enjoyed your photos and you will be missed. I had no idea English was a challenge for you. Good luck and hope you come back.
@zambianlass Thank you for your kind words! You have a great album! Africa is a fascinating continent. So far I have only visited Morocco and Namibia. Namibia borders a short distance on Zambia 😊. However, I didn't get that far. The northernmost area I roamed on this trip was Etosha National Park.
I wish you a full life on your farm in this wonderful landscape. With your pictures I sometimes feel like I have been transported into the film “Out of Africa” - there, too, a bit of the love for the landscapes can be felt.
@arnica17 I am always very moved when I meet people from all over the world on this platform. For me it is still a magical process when an exchange of thoughts occurs and a relationship develops. Indonesia ... unfortunately I have never been there. It must be a wonderful country.
You are right, time flies. And the older you get, the faster the days go by.
Enjoy your youth, be curious, ask questions, try to get the bottom of the living conditions, give the days a meaning, have many fulfilling moments and loving encounters.
I am very happy about your pictures from your world. These are a wonderful enrichment.
I wish you all the best. We'll see each other again someday.
@wag864 Thank you for your kind lines and good wishes! Where I'm going... I don't know. The cloud will tell me...
I wish you all the best on all your paths!
@pistache Thank you, Clare, for your kind wishes! You have been with me for so long. You are one of the first to visit my site and I am still receiving your attention - something very special. I really appreciate it. Thank you! We'll see each other again, for sure ...
@kjarn Thank you, Kathy, for your kind words! Let's try the best these days. Greetings to Australia! A strong continent. I love to wander my thoughts to the places I've seen on my journey along the Gibb River Road. A few years have passed since then...
@pusspup Thanks for your kind lines, Wylie!
Maybe I'm in some cloud cuckoo land...
But what I actually want is a view of connections. That requires distance and the possibility of an unobstructed view of the whole. Maybe the cloud is a symbol for it. From a cloud I see not just a tree, but entire forests - how they stretch over hills, how they make way for meadows and fields and how roads and villages run through the landscape. I can see how the individual is located in the whole.
I really want this chance. I mean, it's about the relationship between part and whole, whole and part.
@frappa77 Thank you, Francesca, for your nice words!
To share something with someone - a thought, a meal, an experience, joy, sorrow,... a photo... I think a lot has happened when this occurs.
@aikiuser Thank you, Jenn, for your warm words! Gladly I'll stop by now and then. I'm really looking forward to your pictures. I wish you all the best and many fulfilling moments on all of your life's paths!!!
@gilbertwood Thank you, Denise, for your kind words! So your backpack is packed too. Drifting to Australia - a good idea :). In my mind I do this for sure.
@louannwarren Dear Lou Ann, with you I always feel: a person with a warm heart.
I like to stop by from time to time, enjoy the pictures, the thoughts, the feelings of the people in this great community.
I wish you many joyful and fulfilling encounters!
@dutchothotmailcom Thank you, Esther, for your kind regards!
You have a great album. I will love to browse through it every now and then. Wishing you all the best!
You have a great ship but it's hard to get there. I guess that's why so few people decide to go on such a trip. Thank you for being with us and I look forward to the next meeting. Have a safe journey.
@summerfield Vikki... Are you also considering a trip with a cotton-soft cloud? You see, there is a lot of space... During the day you have a beautiful view of the earth, at night of the stars...
There are many doubts in my life circumstances. Times have become more difficult. Much has changed, in my opinion not everything for the better. I will try to sort things out and ask how the priorities should be set. For me.
Sommerfield... I like that word a lot. I am thinking of blooming flowers swaying gently in a soft summer wind.
Your stories are wonderful and so beautifully told. I am certainly not exaggerating when I say that you are a special personality full of character in this community, sensitive and thoughtful; shaped by an eventful life.
Thank you for the many beautiful lines that you share so generously and thank you for your strong pictures. Thank you for your kind attention to my pictures. Forgive me for writing you so seldom. I often lack the right words and the subtleties of the English language.
@annied Thanks for your kind wishes, Annie!
Thank you for what you shared - pictures and words that are full of character.
I would like to take your words with me:
"...it doesn't matter where you're from where you've been
just who you are
and what you share
that makes us friends... "
Oh Jerome! What can I add to what all the others have said? I will miss you and your great photos a lot, and I hope that you'll find the right way to make you happy and satisfied. Come back soon, please!
@mittens
You say you love the sky... I think that's where good thoughts come from...
Thank you, Marilyn, for your kind words.
Wishing you all the best!
By the way, my son's birthday falls on Groundhog Day. :)
@merrelyn Thank you, Merrelyn, for your kind wishes!
Greetings to Western Australia! - I saw a small corner of it: I drove on Gibb River Road a few years ago. A journey with strong memories.
@domenicododaro Thank you very much, Domenico!
Travelling... on the flow of life. In the end it all remains a journey to myself. I remain a seeker.
Thank you for your inspiring company. You have something that this world needs more than ever: a sense of poetry.
Take care.
@orion5d Thank you, Astrid, for your nice lines! Thanks for the link to your great site! Fabulous how you play on your handpan. I had always wished that I could learn a musical instrument, to penetrate deeper into the essence of music.
Thank you for your kind wishes for my "journey". We'll see what tomorrow will give me. I roam the history of ideas and focus on the present. I think tomorrow needs understanding yesterday in order to be in the here and now.
@rumpelstiltskin Thank you, Lynn, for your kind greetings!
I enjoy your pictures very much - you have a beautiful eye on the world.
All the best and take care!
@jernst1779 Thank you for your kind wishes! You have a great album. Sorry for commenting so little on it. I really appreciate your pictures.
I'll stop by now and then.
I wish you all the best!
@seattlite Thank you for your very kind words! I wish Seattle back those beautiful shades of blue. I hope everything will soon turn out for the better for you and the people who live there.
All the best for you and take care!
@vignouse
Richard... This name in this community stands for someone who really cares about photography. Looking for good form, considering very carefully, critical in the best sense of the word, perceptive, having a cultivated sense of image moods and soft tones, mingling with wordly wisdom - that's what comes to mind with this name.
I really appreciate you, my friend.
Take care and greetings to your wife.
@shutterbug49 Thank you very much for your very nice lines!
Thank you for your kind attention! Let's enjoy the beauties of this world together.
Wishing you well!
@jgpittenger Thank you for your nice comment!
I am very happy that - despite bad events - I can share the joy of the colors and shapes of this world with you.
The best of luck!
Jerome, I have always loved your pictures although I seldom have passed comment. I will miss seeing them so I truly hope that you are able to pop in and post one every so often. Wishing you everything of the best whilst you are in your cloud. Take care of yourself and stay safe
@777margo Thank you, Margaret, for your very kind lines! Greetings to Queensland - must be a wonderful part of Australia.
By the way: If I may say that: you have a pretty smile.
@taffy Thank you, Taffy, for your kind visit!
Your way of representing the world is really impressive. Thanks for sharing. Your pictures are a wonderful enrichment!
All the best!
Oh, Jerome...you, your photographs and inspiration will be greatly missed. You not only speak English very well but express yourself through not only language but through your look at life through your photography. This year has been a struggle and disappointment in many ways. I hope everyone finds more clarity, understanding, love, compassion and kindness. I wish I could walk to wellness with you. Safe travels and take good care.
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crown less again shall be king."
@haskar You are right - not everyone sails with "my ship". But everyone should have the opportunity to do so. It should be a basic right for everyone. I think this world needs this more than ever: pausing, questioning the circumstances - is it right as it is? Are there alternatives? What is my meaning in this world and in this moment? Who are we and who do we want to be?
I think there are a lot of questions ...
Thank you for your nice wishes.
Greetings to Warsaw!
@caterina Thank you, Caterina, for your nice visit!
Finding a suitable perspective and thinking about what I really need - that will accompany me on my journey.
Wishing you well!
I hope I am not too late to wish you well as you get carried away on the clouds. I feel sad that I have not engaged as much with your wounderful photography this time around, as you know, life throws other challenges our way, to prevent us from always doind as we please. I also feel sad that I will no longer see your work, for a while, but I hope you will be back. I think I have said before, your command of English is admirable, you express well and have such sensitivity in all you present whether written or in images. Your photography is first class, but more than that, your gentle, caring and thoughtful personality shines through. Bon voyage and take good care, I hope the soft cloud is full of comfort.
@jerome If you ever come in my direction (Verona or Cortina) I'd love to meet you and perhaps take a few pictures together. That would really be a treat! Be happy and be safe
@gardenfolk Thank you, dear Cathee, for your kind words! There is so much warmth in them. I really like to take them on my journey.
The forests are burning and yet the world has gotten colder. What we need more and more is - as you put it so nicely - clarity, understanding, love, compassion and kindness. These are values that make us human. And whoever has the love for nature and can perceive its beauties, does not exploit and destroy it for selfish profit. The correct attitude is not “the more the better” but “enough is enough”. In addition, it cannot be that very few people own most of all goods, while children die because they have no clean water, nothing to eat and no medical care. I think this world is rich enough for everyone to live with dignity. There is still a lot to be said about it...
Thanks for the impressive quote and the link to the beautiful melody.
I sincerely wish you all the best, health and love!
@helenhall Dear Helen, thank you very much for your kind lines! I'm very pleased. Don't worry about the quantity of writing. We both know that a good encounter is about qualities. It then doesn't need words all the time. It is important to be aware that the other is thinking of you and that good thoughts are connecting - regardless of distance and time. But of course I am always very happy to receive lines from you. They come from a thoughtful and empathetic character.
We also know that living conditions are not always favorable. Sometimes the demands of the day drain our strength. We can then no longer devote ourselves to what seems important to us personally.
My cloud gives me everything I need. I feel softly embedded and enjoy the slow hovering. From up there I have an unobstructed view of the vastness. The houses, streets and forests are far away and very small, as are the worries.
I hope you always have enough time for yourself, can linger over good thoughts, enjoy the moment and live in the here and now.
I wish you this very much.
Take care!
@caterina Verona and Cortina - two really wonderful areas. One is an architectural gem, the other a scenic one. I would like to visit both, with my cloud I certainly do.
I send you nice greetings and wish you all the best.
You are so loved, Jerome. I have never seen so many comments of support and love. I understand why. Your photos and your kind comments bring so much depth to our community. Wishing you a gentle journey .... hope to see you and your amazing images back here very soon.
@365karly1 Thank you, Karly, for your very nice words! I feel overwhelmed by so many kind responses from my dear followers. It really touches me a lot.
Thank you for your good wishes - I am very happy to take them with me on my trip.
Thank you for sharing your great pictures of Montana - a wonderful region with impressive landscapes!
I wish you all the best!
Jerome,@Jerome you do not know me, I am new to 365, I landed on your image while checking the images of the Official Top of the week and it mesmerized me immediately. Congrats. I looked at your portfolio of images, they are all terrific. I've read everyone's comment on this thread and feel sad. I do hope your journey will be kind to you. I wish you all the best, Sylvia from Canada.
@summerfield Thank you, dear Vikki, for your kind regards! Really very nice of you that you thought of me. It touches me a lot. At the turn of the year I wish you all the best, health, many fulfilling moments and a happy heart!
How is life in the clouds Jerome. It has been a while but you are not forgotten. Much has been happening in the world since you were last with us - I hope you remain unscathed and safe.
@helenhall
Dear Helen, please forgive me for answering you so late. But please be sure that I haven't forgotten you either. Yes, a lot has happened...
I hope you are well and you always come across something enjoyable.
If you would like to write to me this way: kobaltblau1@yahoo.de - with great pleasure.
@annied Thank you for your lovely lines, dear Annie! Please excuse me for answering you so late. I had a difficult time and have to gradually find my way back.
I hope you are fine!
@summerfield
Thank you, Vikki! You are in my mind and in my heart.
I wish you all the best, happiness, joyful spirit, soulful experience, fulfilling moments, love...
Take good care of yourself.
@jyokota Thank you for your nice visit! I'm really happy about that. I'm sorry I'm so late. I was very busy with myself. Every day revolves around my health. My life has changed a lot. Values have shifted. I don't know when I'll be shooting again. Yes, yes... I'm happy about nice pictures. Spring is beginning... the first flowers are blooming in the meadow... yesterday the sky was cobalt blue... with fluffy white clouds...
I hope you are well and have a good life. Take care.
@Jerome It's nice to hear from you! But I'm sad to hear that your health issues seem to have taken over your photography time and energy. But yes, here's top hoping that springtime may draw us back into the outdoors and photography. I was supposed to be in Switzerland right now, but Omicron canceled that trip. Sending you healing vibes from Chicago!
So Jerome, I wonder if you still check in from time to time. I do hope that your circumstances in life can improve, that you can still enjoy the beauty of this earth whilst we have it. Just wanted to let you know that you are not forgotton.
This morning I looked to see how far back my saved favorites went and there was a photo from you. You were always an inspiration, and I love this image you posted as you left the community; such a poignant visual, but it has perfect simplicity! I hope you are safe and loved in this crazy world. Certainly you're well-remembered by us here on 365 and happy that we can send you messages!
@Weezilou Thank you so much for your lovely message! Your words are so kind. Like a warm hug. I am really very happy about it. It's a wonderful feeling when you say that you remember me. Inside me, you are an extremely empathetic person with a wide soul and a big heart. The world needs people like that. More than ever.
A difficult time lies behind me. I had to reorient myself - in several ways. You're right, there are terrible things going on in this world. I think of you affectonately. I hope you are fine. Take good care of yourself.
@blueberry1222 Thank you so much for your kind message! I apologize for replying so late.
My life has changed... I wasn't feeling well and values in my life have shifted. I need to collect myself and get myself in order. I hope you are doing well. I send you my very best wishes. I hope you are doing well.
