MY FIRST ANNIVERSARY IN TREKEARTH

"One is the commonsense of next
One language, the pride of man
Design the one,perfect,imperfect
Mind,the one concept that lives..
Burn the myraid suns that dwell
Breath the mighty spirit secret
Oneness of form share identity
Dumbness, man's silent disaster ..
One is one, the one , one
One design's life, one's life
Light of the stars,world's pattern
One belongs to ones own self..
One the cosmic manifestation,supreme
One the creator, the time, spirit
Material, yet distinct from matter
One remains one, the soul of one !!"

SHOT AT KOLLAM, MY LAND.

“I despise a world which does not feel that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy”
~Ludwig van Beethoven

Excellent photo of this lighthouse. The colours are great and I like the red-blue contrast. The placement of the tower in the composition is superb too and it is all enhanced by the light. Great work, thanks for sharing!

Namaste Jean Paul,
Happy birthday, my friend. It's been a pleasure having contact with you these months.
I had never seen a so big candle! And quite festive also, with that red ribbon and the blue backdrop. :-)
It's a real nice image and the only thing that could be better is that noisy sky.
Regards, José.

Hi Jean Paul!
Congratulation for one year at TE and your fine work.
This is a nice architectureshot with a nice perspective at the lighthouse.The tilt works well here and the amount of empty space(empty,except this wonderful blue)is perfect for the composition.
Keep on posting my friend!
Kind regards,leo

Hi Jean,
Happy birthday in TE.. A year with the full of great images and the special words for each one.. Great!
This image looks simple at first but the simplicity makes it more effective i think.. because your perspective and the technical choices are beautiful.. sharpness, light and colors..
Best wishes,
ReLa

Hi Jean Paul,

The candle is larger than the cake !!! Congratulations for this first year on TE and I hope that will continue a long time because it is always a real pleasure of seeing your photographs. Beautiful visual angle on this pretty headlight with the colors which of course bring out this sky uniformly blue. Well seen Jean Paul.

With all my friendships of France and with soon,

Jean-Charles

Happy "birthday", JP ! You have chosen a very optimistic photo for the occasion, the colours are bright and vibrant, and what a sky !!! (do you have any explanation for this alternance of red and white stripes that I saw not only in temples, but also in the control towers of airports etc... ? Just curious...)
Anyway : Best wishes and good continuation !
And best regards from Brussels...

Hi Jean Paul,
Congratulations in your first year in TE!!!
Good celebration photo, with good graphical effect and a magnificent perspective thanks to a good POV and a good angle towards the sky.
The symbolism of the geometry of this beacon with the number one is very well related.
Good work, great light and beautiful colors.
Best regards,
Josep

Congratulations, my friend, and no-one deserves it more than you!

What a simple but extremely strong composition!
I felt quite dizzy following the stripe to the top!
Well saturated colours and great perspective!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

My congratulations for this great event, and wishes for many more...
I like the humorous choice to celebrate this, although I do find some grain in the sky:-), hope you don't mind me saying that.

All the best, I am in hurry these days...

One year already, I felt this year like I know you since ...old times.And I was trying earlier to remember your first pictures and your comments on TE.Still remembering your first comment for me,and maybe you don't know,but I have all your pictures not only the existent ones on TE also your deleted pictures ..all saved in my PC because there in each image I felt ONE artist.Your contribution on TE was and still is a great one,being a good ambassador of the greatest country India.And also your notes made many members to think,to discover hidden parts of their souls.Very important for many TE friends.Thank you for everything
This image is a symbolic one and a good choice for your anniversary,Jean.
I wish you many years on TE and I know here you will find what you missed,that kind of happiness
All the best for you and for Kiran
Hope the prince is OK now

Hello Jean Paul,

Three main colours to compose this simple yet attractive image. The lighthouse well placed against the blue sky. The details and the proper saturation of colours, all combine to create this beautiful image. Interesting perspective and idea to compose the picture. Its attraction is also enhanced by the angle of the structure. Good work friend.

Roberto

Hello, dear Poet,
A very unusual shot to celebrate your first anniversery on TE.
My congratulations on that occasion:)It's a simple photo with well contrasting colours. There's room for one more soaring figure.
The great are often solitary in their grandeur!
Few have antennas to catch subttleties of moods
TFS
Blessed be your days
