From canoes to bright colored boats like this one, boats are found along the shore line of the backwaters in Kerala. For me, the water flowers make this one of the most magical parts of world.
Was going to title this "Nature's embrace" which I think fitted very well too. But this view reminded me of something and then the name just popped up from my unconscious mind. Loved these figures from the first beginning when reading Tolkien's saga.

It was 10°C today, so the ice here may have melted. This was taken at sunrise a few days ago on the shores of Lake Ontario.

Desde el mirador del Pando tratábamos de fotografiar el embalse de Riaño mientras el sol jugaba a esconderse poco a poco y pintaba de tonalidades cálidas todo cuanto veían nuestros ojos.
Yo me afanaba para no llegar tarde al espectáculo mientras preparaba el trípode, la cámara y el juego de filtros que estrenaba en el viaje a León de 2015.
Entretanto, mi sobrino Carlos jugaba a inmortalizarme a mi con la Fuji X10, que llegó a adorarle, en las posturas más cómicas que imaginarse pueda, atareado con mi pasión fotográfica, pero sin perder ni un detalle del camino solar hacia Poniente.
Me gusta su composición porque no era fácil encuadrar mostrando en una sola imagen el sol, el perfil de las montañas de Riaño, a su tío en plena faena y los asombrosos colores que nos rodeaban... Pero lo consiguió!!!
Fue un viaje inolvidable, lleno de muchas cosas hermosas además de hermosas fotografías.

Advent star. Looks like there are some dead sensor pixels but that's the mosquito net making those "square dots"

Lo que no sueñes tú
no te lo darán los sueños de los demás.
What you don't dream about
will not be given to you by the dreams of the others

After a disappointing couple of days in Bryce Canyon, I moved on to my next location which was to be Kodachrome Basin National Park, which is located between Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase Escalante Region of Utah. I found a great site in the primitive campground at the back of the park, I think I like this campground better than the front campground because of the dirt road leading in to it. This prevents most RV's from attempting access and is a much more serene environment, although the front campground has free showers but they can be used by all visitors, so I seized the opportunity. :)
This is the Bryce View Campground and is named so because its view overlooks not just Kodachrome Basin but also Bryce Canyon, which can be seen here off in the distance with a spectacular sunset in progress. Wouldn't you know it, the day I leave Bryce the sky explodes over it. Bah!! I guess a fourth trip to Bryce is on the itinerary in the future. "If at first you don't succeed try try again" is what I was taught. :)
I found this tree just off of the dirt road that leads back to some of the more remote formations in the park. It sits perched atop a red stone formation and stands only waist high. I tried to get a POV and composition that portrayed this tree as much bigger and an alternate composition capitalizing on it's stunted nature. I ended up liking this one better.
I am considering this to be an FDR image "Full Dynamic Range." Not an HDR image. HDR is usually associated with software designed specifically for that purpose. The problem with these software solutions is that by the time you get something you like, they introduce strong haloing properties and unpleasant artifacts which give it a fake unnatural look. By blending exposures manually you control what aspects of each exposure will be included in your final result, leading ultimately to a "Full Dynamic Range" image. Maybe we can start differentiating the two different types of processes. Have you ever had someone ask "Is it HDR" I like being able to say "NO", then again, if they have to ask then I'm getting close to real looking FDR photos.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everybody!! :)

I enjoy finding old homesteads like this one that seem to be built in the middle of nowhere. This is just east of Hanna, Alberta, Canada .

Imposants et fiers, visibles de presque toute la Suisse romande, c'est comme cela que se présentent les Dents du Midi aux observateurs.
Impressive and proud, visible of almost all French-speaking Switzerland, it is like that that appear the Dents du Midi at the observers.
To be free as the birds that fly past me
Light as the fish in the sea
To be as wise as the mountains and tall as the trees
