Digital Postcard #0003(Photo no longer exists)
"The Chinese pianist Liu Chi Kung was imprisoned for seven years during the Cultural Revolution, during which time he had no access to a piano. When he returned to giving concerts again after he was released, his playing was better than ever. Asked how this was possible since he had not practice for seven years, he replied: I did practice, every day. I rehearsed every piece I had ever played, note by note, in my mind." ~ by Bernie Zilbergeld
This is something I actually believe in, and I know it works. I have imagined doing my schoolwork, studying for exams, practising martial arts, and cooking. I can cook up a meal in my head, and when it comes to actually cooking, it is so easy to do.
On the other hand, if you have not looked at the picture very closely yet, try to look again; you will be surprised at what you will find in nature's sculpture.
Geographical Location: Scilla, Calabria, Italy [38°15'0"N 15°43'0"E] lies in front of the Strait of Messina, a narrow section of water between the eastern tip of Sicily and the southern tip of Calabria in the south Italy. Archived photo from my travel gallery: Italy, September 2006.

I looked at the photo again closely and when I used my imagination I saw a "stone sleeper" in these rocks. :-)
Take Care,
Peter
It looks like a man. But then again I see so many other things.
By the way, when it comes to imagination, I wish I could visualize the laundry all washed, dried and folded. Any suggestions?
Happy trails.
And yes, I did know that whoever invented sleep was a genius, but I often wonder why this genius had to make us need 8 hours. I seem to only fit in 5 or 6 many nights and would love for that to be enough!
Another beautiful shot, Anna. I think this new series is allowing for you to post more of your photos and that is a good thing for us.
Great shots!
I like your style and vision.
Here is the local photography website I told you about:

Beautiful photo and post, Anna!!!
We are kindred spirits when it comes to loving rock formations.
Hugs, JJ
Your digital postcard from Scilla, Italy certainly is majestic to the imagination.
Saludos.
I fancy that your craggy rock is like the bumpy, corrugated surface of our amazing brains!
lol about laundry. I have idea, wear uniform, sometimes it works for me, lol.
Anna :)
About the sleep, seems like I can only fit in 6 hours per night and sometimes a nap during a day. For me 8-9 hours would be nice, but then the more I sleep the more I want to sleep.
Will thanks so much for you kind comment. It is in fact fun to do something new. Thanks again, Anna :)
I truly believe that if we see things in our mind, anything is possible!
For example, when I learn a new dance step if I can't see myself executing it in my mind I won't be able to do it.
This being said, our mind is a powerful data base; thus if Mr. Liu Kung saw the notes and the piano in his mind and he practiced everyday with his fingers (virtually playing)...then no wonder he came out of prison better than ever!
Girl, I looked at the picture and I saw an old man looking askance at us; and a big eye observing me lol (I am serious though).
Loved this post card; perfect result.
Cheers
Don't mention it :D!
"Max, you got good imagination too. That rock was perfect, and I was waiting for the right time to use it. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for your thoughts, now I can see what you can see too....Thanks again my friend."
lol thanks *bowing*! It is perfect indeed.
Sharing my thoughts with you is a must, for you are an outstanding listener :).
Cheerio
