Today I met Photographer and Educator Serge Ramelli at El Matador State Beach. I was setup in a spot along the shore working on exposures when he setup up his tripod right next to me and ask "Am I in your composition" The second I heard his voice I knew it was him, I looked him right in the eye and said, "Serge" He said yes. I said Serge Ramelli He said "Yes" Wow!!! The world just keeps getting smaller and smaller. I have seen over 100 of his movies on photography and processing on the internet. Well after the panic subsided, we shared several minutes chatting, He had mentioned that he had been at Laguna Beach previously so I asked him if he's seen the pirates tower at victoria beach. I proceeded to show him a shot of the tower and some other choice spots from LaJolla and CDM. He was kind enough to compliment me on my photography, but then again he might have just been being friendly which is the more likely scenario. :) He is a very nice guy and very charismatic and personable and I took the opportunity to snap a selfie with him. He took my name and said he would check my stuff out. Serge, what your seeing here is a direct result of your video training series. Thanks for producing such a fantastic series of tutorials. :)
You can see Serge's Ramelli's excellent line of products here.
I was setup here hoping that the sun would pop through the clouds at the last minute, but it didn't happen. I'm so glad I ran into Serge Ramelli there or the 2 hour trip would have been in vain. Thanks again Serge it was so nice to meet you. :)
And thank you, for taking the time to visit and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week. :)

Scandinavian Winter days are short but if the sun comes out there is a touch of magic. Nyhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Okay, it's not actually within our backyard, but it's just beyond it. The yard behind our house borders a large park that is just being developed. The park was recently seeded, and the straw was put down as mulch. I took this shot while standing on our backyard deck. I think these Sandhill Cranes must have been eating the grass seed.
I know that there's not a lot going on in this image. But I rather like the repetitive poses of the birds, and I thought it was kind of cool that I could get this shot without leaving home, so I decided to go with it. The abundance of Sandhill Cranes in the area near our new home in Michigan has been one of the pleasant surprises of living here.

I am sure you all know by now that I like shots with trees, mist and reflections, hence the title. I liked this view as the mist was even softening the trees on the oppostie bank which were only a short distance away.
Ich habe das Foto nochmals bearbeitet, weil es mir noch nicht so gefallen hat.....
Ich kann nur den niederrheinischen Fotografen die Kirche in Kalkar (St. Nicolai) empfehlen. Hier ist es eine wahre Freude die Kamera auszupacken und die Atmosphäre dieses Bauwerkes festzuhalten.
Der Georgsaltar wurde ca. 1480 von einem Meister Arnt von Zwolle begonnen und 1492 vollendet. Der Georgsaltar ist das früheste Werk, das Arnt in der Nikolaikirche geschaffen hat. Er bietet im Mittelteil hinter zwei schmalen Säulen ein weiträumiges Landschaftspanorama mit neun Szenen aus der Legende des hl. Georg, die alle in einem Bild zusammengefasst sind. Die Hauptszene in der Mitte zeigt St. Georg zu Pferde den Drachen besiegend. Der Meister Arnt von Zwolle wird auch Arnt von Kalkar genannt.
Im letzten Viertel des 15. Jahrhunderts wurde die Bildhauerei am Niederrhein vor allem von diesem Bildschnitzer geprägt. In Kalkar und in Zwolle war er hauptsächlich tätig und von diesen beiden Orten hat er seinen Namen in der Kunstgeschichte. Er ist nicht nur für den Georgaltar verantwortlich, sondern auch für die erste Phase des Hochaltars, den er bei seinem Tod 1492 unvollendet in seinem Atelier zurückließ.

Elands Bay is a town in South Africa, situated in the Western Cape Province, on the Atlantic Ocean. The town is located about 220 kilometres (two and a half hours drive) north from Cape Town. It is a major surfing location and is also noted for its caves, which have a number of rock paintings.
In 2009, Heritage Western Cape declared the Elands Bay Cave and most of Baboon Point (Cape Deseada), on which it is located, as a provincial heritage site. Eland's Bay along with much of this coastline is an "important" bird habitat. The local wetland, Verloerenvlei, is a Ramsar wetland.
La de años que hacía que no pisaba Castrelos.......con lo mucho que he jugado en sus jardines de pequeña :-)
Conjugar los colores del otoño con la luz tan especial de las mañanas tempranas, da como resultado estas espectaculares escenas que por pura casualidad me tocó presenciar.
Ocho pinceladas sobre estos magnificos jardines del Pazo Quiñones de León (Castrelos) donado en 1924 a la ciudad de Vigo, por el Marqués de Alcedo.

5 Meter bis zur Ostsee -
und manchmal steht das Wasser auch vor der Tür :-)
Viele der zum Teil reetgedeckten Fachwerk- und Holzhäuser stehen unter Denkmalschutz. Nach ein paar Flecken auf Sylt gilt der Graswarder heute als das teuerste aber auch infrastrukturschwächste Wohngebiet Schleswig-Holsteins.
Der Graswarder bildet zusammen mit dem westlich davor gelegenen Steinwarder eine langgestreckte Halbinsel mit einem 230 Hektar großen Naturschutzgebiet an der Küste von Heiligenhafen im Landkreis Ostholstein in Schleswig-Holstein. Die Nehrungshalbinsel mit ihren Sekundärhaken und Lagunen wächst ständig weiter, (Wikipedia)
Diese einst so stolze Festung, war zu ihrer Blütezeit die größte Burg in ganz Ostbayern. Durch Misswirtschaft ist sie heute nur noch ein Schatten ihrer selbst.
Allerdings wird jetzt Mithilfe von Archäologen und einem gemeinnützigen Verein die Burg nicht nur erhalten, sondern zum Teil wieder aufgebaut.
This once proud fortress, was in its heyday the largest castle in all of Eastern Bavaria. Through mismanagement it is now only a shadow of itself.
However, now the help of archaeologists and a non-profit association will not only get the castle, but partially rebuilt.

too early on the most beautiful of days. The sun had melted a hard frost, which was just about to freeze again - it was VERY cold, but so lovely I couldn't resist taking a picture of this lovely scene !
One texture of my own applied, plus a little help from PicMonkey. I so hope you like it.
Many thanks as always for your faves and comments ... this was one of the most beautiful of days for me. I hope you all have loads and loads of beautiful days of your own !
Bellísima, altiva, peligrosa, almenada, orgullosa, misteriosamente fascinante.
Así comprendí esa maravilla de torre defensiva, ese baluarte avanzado y esa suerte de oficina de peaje de entrada a Frías.
Ya casi al final de mi sesión de nocturna, decidí bajar hacia la alameda que da acceso a la zona de baño junto al Ebro, además de ser refrescante sombra en los calores estivales y zona de picnic para disfrute de quienes viven o visitan Frías.
Tras el puente románico, otro más moderno pero construido con sorprendente buen gusto arquitectónico, alberga sobre él la carretera de acceso a la ciudad.
Aseguro que, más de un año después de conocer y fotografiar Frías, aún hay noches que sueño con su castillo y su puente medieval.
La mágica noche otoñal, con sus nubes nómadas, fue testigo del amor a primera vista entre ese puente y su rendido fotógrafo.
