This is the last post of this forest serie and I really look forward to more situations like this one with the fog but unfortunately there aren't nearby were I live, unless I do wake up 4 in the morning... nah not me...
The picture had purple fringing (also on some of the previously posted but in this one it was more marcant) therefore I made some heavier editing (denoise, desaturation, illuminate). Sometimes, in my modest opinion, heavier editing give an unexpected positively result and in this case I do like a lot the painterly, artistic look.
A note regarding flickr automatic tags: this time it got it right... The tree trunks do look like columns.. .like remnants of an ancient civilization....

Another cold day here in the Northwest of Germany, time to check the files providing memories of warm Summer holidays in Denmark. Henne Mølle Å, Jylland, Denmark

Instant Karma by John Lennon:
"Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you."
Pictured here is the remains of the (aptly named) SS Instant Karma. Just as Mr. Lennon predicted, Instant Karma was knocked right upside her head (or bow), as she now lies forever in the shallows of the Captree Boat Basin.

Just beyond the Falls, the creek continues to flow and ends up in the Mississippi River. There was a conveniently placed rock in the middle of this creek I just had to jump to so i didn't even have to get wet for this one.
Minnehaha Creek is a 22-mile-long (35 km) tributary of the Mississippi River that flows east from Gray's Bay Dam on Lake Minnetonka through the suburban cities of Minnetonka, Hopkins, Saint Louis Park, and Edina, and the city of Minneapolis. The creek flows over Minnehaha Falls in Minnehaha Park near its mouth at the Mississippi River.

Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.
Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.

Where is "Wally"?
It is a entertainment invented in this photo and figuratively by the existence of a person, on the scene, outside the context where most of the people are on the street!
I discovered that person's existence when I edited the photo :-)
* I'm grateful for visit, faves and comments of my photo.
Onde está "Wally"?
É uma brincadeira inventada nessa foto e de forma figurativa, pela existência de uma pessoa, em cena, fora do contexto donde está a maioria das pessoas na rua!
Eu descobri a existência dessa pessoa quando fui editar a foto :-)

Perhaps another image which finds its beauty in B&W. The original green color was not a shade I was fond of! This was the parting glimpse I had of the beautiful canal that feeds into the lake of the backwaters. There are a few more images of the lake that are coming soon before we leave this beautiful place.
A brand new early autumn day at our local nature reserve. The stars are beginning to fade, one by one. I thought this scene so beautiful I made a panorama. I hope you like it too - I am so blessed living near this lovely place. All too soon autumn will turn to winter - so let's make the most of it !

After being in Tasmania for 10 days and nights we had a starry sky to shoot for a few hours
We arrived here about 11pm after capturing the sunset at Binalong Bay
I got up at 3am to capture this as I needed to wait for the Milkyway to position itself east/west over the Eddystone Point Lighthouse in the Bay of Fires .
There was suppose to be low level Aurora activity most of that week
I used the parking lights on my car to light the lighthouse
I probably should have still lightpainted the immediate foreground
The grounds here were full of wildlife including several wombats feeding on the fresh grass shoots
I went back for a quick sleep before sunrise only to wake to a windy and wet change , so I just got these shots
This is a seven shot stitch
