I like the texture of the pictures! They're not too bright, sharp and saturated (as opposed to most beginner's work) but many elements went perfectly well, making them really interesting.

This is really an amazing post. Beautiful use of language and I love the way you weave together the past and the present. Your very own dreamtime - thanks for inviting us to share it with you!

onethousandwords (54) · 7 years ago

I cannot even begin to tell you how much this comment means to me. It took me a long time to write because it was so difficult to create a sense of dreamtime without confusing the reader. The fact that you noticed that I've tried to give a sense of non linear time just gave me the most enormous smile. Thank you.

carlgnash (69) · 7 years ago

Well mission accomplished. From the very beginning to the very end, and the end is the new beginning. Really liked the last line as well. Also I want to say a huge thank you for just linking to your Steemit blog on your website instead of hosting a separate blog there and posting there as well. So nice to see amazing content like this not only being posted first here on Steemit, but posted only here and even receiving back links from external sources as well. I want to mention this publicly because I hope other readers will follow suit for the good of the whole ecosystem. Thank you!

onethousandwords (54) · 7 years ago

Thank you again. I am glad this is good for Steemit, I really don't have much of a clue but I write separate content for Steemit that is only posted here. I think that's the point of a system like this and it challenges me to write more so that's always a good thing for an avid procrastinator :)

Hi @onethousandwords,

I'm @joshua-golbuu, or Josh for short and I just joint @TeamAustralia / #TeamAustralia a few week ago (I moved from the islands of Micronesia to Australia to study and live here).

I just wanted to drop a note to say hello.

Your post was great love the photos.

I don't have many recent post because I just finish my last exam Friday, but I very much like to get to know everyone in our team. Hope we will meet on Steemit.

here is my re-intro with more details: https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@joshua-golbuu/from-micronesia-to-australia-my-journey-re-introducing-myself-to-teamaustralia-and-to-everyone-in-steemit-after-my-exams

Oh just a long day with no time for doing the things I love like writing and photography. I was just feeling a bit disheartened by not feeling like I have time to get anywhere with it. Thanks for asking. You're a gem.

$0.00

sidsun (57) · 7 years ago

I know that feeling...that's why I have been putting random stuff online just to get my reputation to 60. I do publishing full time and it hasn't been a great 4 years with many mags and printing press going bust coz of social media's dominance. What Ive noticed is with a decent reputation here - over 60 - and SP over 10k and following over 1000, you get more noticed and the earnings can be upped as well. I may be wrong. Once I get a decent rev from online platforms, it's easier to just focus on content creation and curation. The beauty is I don't have to go and see too many advertisers once i get there. Right now I'm driving around physically dropping off magazines to outlets, calling clients and selling space...it's not easy and there's hardly anytime for this...but...I think if we hold on to it long enough it should be worth while. Your content is so good that it's really evident that it's got to do with SP and reputation. I'm surprised your stuff is not gaining more financial results. I understand that you are not here for money, but then if there's more rewards, you can focus on this. What do you do for a living If I may ask? Just curious..are u on discord...I'm just trying to figure out various tools here...Discord has not been easy for me..but I think it's a good way to connect.

$0.00

onethousandwords (54) · 7 years ago

I am on discord. I think I'm @onethousandwords there. Look me up!

I figure if I keep working hard and producing the best quality content I can the rest will come.

My problem is no time. This is the first 9-5 job I've had in 15 years and I am having serious adjustment issues! So far as what I do because of the confidential nature of the industry I would rather not post that here.

I would like to post more but am struggling to carve out the time. That is why I started the @onethousandpics account. I have a gazillion pics and can easily post on Steepshot many times in a week. Keep at it. You've got an awesome spirit and a great attitude.

Hi, I'm new on Steemit but when I saw your account the first time I liked it.
Great content! Keep going on!
Maybe you can take a look at my account as well...
I'm author for essays, comments reviews (e.g. for films, TV shows, etc.) in german and english language.
And maybe you can also follow me as I followed you, or vote for my comments as well, so that we can create a kind of little network for art or reviews of films and series.
I know that you get a lot of comments but I hope you take a look! In my blog, you will easily find the english article, at the moment there is only one, my first one...
Keep going on with your nice work! I like it!

Their past is our present, and it's our common future. These were my thoughts while reading your beautiful story. I think I got it right, since in the end you say: The Dreamtime - a world where past and present exist as one. And the future is under the dunes.

We've a similar place just 40 km from here where the fossils of the Neanderthals were discovered. Being there, for me it's exactly the same feeling you describe.

Very well written, it takes the reader back to the dream time, there are so many tales of the Aboriginals that should be written, you would do a good job of it.

I agree with that. The stories I fell upon in the Outback, so many untold wonders. Such a history of resilience and strength.

My son-in-law worked at Wildman River Corrections Facility, near Darwin, some of the stories even the kids knew were surprising, but the old men that knew all the stories and lore were dying off and with them goes the history.
