Insomnia
« on: July 14, 2016, 11:28:47 »
On rear occasions, usually during summer, I develop insomnia. To tired to do some serious photography, to excited to fall asleep. Raving about with the Df and a 50 mm seem to provide a a decent middle ground. Watching other creatures relax might toss me into lala land. Well, maybe next night... ::)

If sleep dont come tonight, I will start to harvest the mighty crop of Psillocybe fungi on my fields. They would surely take me to lala land :)

Very nice, Børge.

It is said that counting (and photographing) sheep is very effective in curing Insomnia  ;)

Psilos are very intersting.

You might start to talk to the horses and sing a long.

That might have been interesting Frank, but I think I would stay away from a Psilo based diett for now. My brain is perfectly capable of messing up on its own :)

I used the 50 1,2 ais, due to the available light at 4 o'clock in the morning.

Thanks for sharing Borge.
Whereabouts did you take these?
And what time of night were they taken.

And how come you have psilocybin out so early in the summer?

Thats essentially how my brain works during the nights for the moment Frank. The trouble is that my brain is trying to connect this random thoughts. I belive its going away sooner or later but its an interesting state of mind. You never know what thought the the brain come up with next, and it give me lots of ideas :)
Colin, these pictures are taken at 63°26′25″ N  11°2′27″ E and here these little "buggers" start appearing in july and go on until the snow comes. I have never tried to ingest them and hopefully no one will. If I need enhanced colors and emotions I fix it in Photoshop ;)

Børge: I sit down and write, writre, write until my brain and my heart are empty. Then I can sleep.

The Guardian sheds some light on Insomnia scientifically:

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/jul/15/shuffle-thoughts-sleep-oliver-burkeman

Interesting - will be tried. I go thru patches sleeping 3 - 4 ours only and it is very tiring. Also - I find if my energy levels are depleted - I cant function emotionally and that effects sleep.

On the bright side - I love the horses - I also like blur circles and S(H)eep  ;D ;D
