Mystical: A Tangerine Dream


Mystical: A Tangerine Dream, originally uploaded by TomRaven.

Indeed this is a tangerine dream. The volcano, Mt Ruapehu, can be seen on the horizon, snow capped and mystical floating above the blue sea in the tangerine sky! Ruapehu is over 200km away and over 100km inland but some days can be seen like a mystical floating island across the sea from Otaki Beach!

Or fragments of the day's intense serene;
Working mosaic on their Parian floors.
And, day and night, aloof, from the high towers
And terraces, the Earth and Ocean seem
To sleep in one another's arms, and dream
Of waves, flowers, clouds, woods, rocks, and all that we
Read in their smiles, and call reality.


From Epipsychidion by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
