A view from the bridge of the 'John 1' spacecraft as she travels through the galaxy on a continuing mission to explore strange new worlds and other stuff like that.
(Actually a neck-craning look skywards up the Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur).
This is a shot of me on hospital reef taken by Flickr friend and photographer David Frey. He was kind enough to send me this photo that he had taken of me sprawled out on the reef in the most stable configuration I could come up with. I wish he had told me my hat looked like the top of a spent condom. I'm never going to wear that hat again. LOL :)
Recently I had the pleasure of meeting David, and was lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend a whole day shooting with him. I didn't bother him with a barrage of questions while we were shooting like I wanted to, I just watched him with a keen eye and absorbed whatever he did that was different than what I do, and of course what follows is some curious self analysis. :) You can learn a lot just from being around another photographer especially one as gifted as David.
In an effort to get out of the social shell in which I have been trapped, as a result of working 20 years on the graveyard shift. I have started making a conscience effort to interact on a more personal level with other Flickr friends and it has been a rewarding experience both socially and spiritually. I have a better outlook on the world and in people in general and have even found myself quoting some of the terminology and verbiage learned from my friends here. Today as I was sitting in traffic on my way to work. I started drifting off eyelids heavy, I was imagining a world that was populated by only Flickr members, and what a wonderful world it was. I dreamed that the planet had been repopulated with only Flickr members and there was a beautiful absence of powerlines. Everybody greeted each other with cheerful comments and salutations and there wasn't a single "No Trespassing" sign to be seen. The sunrise and sunsets last 4 hours and there was a charging station at every parking lot. All extinct animals and current habitants walked freely through every town and amongst it's folk. There was a pullout on the correct side of the road at every spectacular viewpoint and there were birds of every size and color winging around in wondrous puffy clouds and......................Honk Honk, Move it buddy!!!!!!! Ah crap, I'm still here stuck in traffic. Sadness :(

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.

Taken at Portage lake last night. The temperatures were around -8F degrees. I came across this section of the lake where the ice had fractured and piled up on the beach. I highlighted the foreground by using my LED Coleman latern on low setting to paint the ice and the sharp angles of the snow. Unfortunately I just missed the huge explosion of the northern lights in the background. There were oranges, pinks, and greens.
Any evening shot from Stanley Park looking at the skyline of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This is one of my favourite places. I spent a lot of time in this area growing up.

If you've noticed I have been spending a lot of time at the beaches lately here in So. Cal. getting ready to for a trip to Kauai.
I recently purchased a set of Lee graduated filters to see if I will be able to capture the full range of the scene in a single exposure using a grad. Looking forward to trying them out in the Garden Isle. :)

A long exposure, landscape image of rocks getting battered by waves in the evening sunshine at Sandend in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Niagara Falls, a world-famous set of three large waterfalls on the Niagara River. Both the American and Horseshoe falls can be best seen from the Canadian side of the river, so the city has one of the major tourist attractions of the world. The natural spectacle attracts millions of tourists yearly.

Il Sile a Santa Maria del Piave
Non v'è traccia di S. Maria di Piave nell'antica cartografia. Il generico toponimo di 'Piave Vecchia viene infatti ripetuto in due distinte località rivierasche della sinistra Sile-Piave Vecchia, nel tratto compreso tra Caposile e Jesolo.
Le stesse borgate fluviali, corrispondenti alle attuali S. Maria di Piave e Cà Nani, devono peraltro essere di antica origine ed è facile immaginare che prima dello sviluppo della viabilità di terraferma esse fossero strettamente legate al fiume che cinge la Laguna.
Ancora oggi, isolati come sono dal traffico automobilistico estivo della vicina Provinciale jesolana, esse costituiscono oasi di quiete che invitano alla sosta ed a una dimensione più umana del vivere. S. Maria di Piave, particolarmente, offre una realtà in cui ai silenzi fruscianti del Sile-Piave Vecchia si accosta un'atmosfera di domestica solitudine, scandita dal cinguettare dei passeri o dai richiami delle gallinelle d'acqua.
Luogo di sosta obbligata è qui il ponte pedonale che scavalca il Fiume a monte dell'abitato. Dalla passerella pedonale, alta sul fiume, si coglie infatti un suggestivo paesaggio agro-fluviale e vallivo.
Un colloquio con il pescatore di S. Maria, uno degli ultimi ad esercitare la pesca professionale nel basso Sile-Piave Vecchia, consentirà di conoscere le tecniche e gli strumenti di cattura del pesce di fiume e le stesse specie ittiche fluviali.
Anguille e cefali, ma anche tinche e lucci sono ancora numerosi nelle acque fresche, che fluiscono perennemente dai territori della Marca Trevigiana verso il mare.

SUPPORT MY WORK! Just LIKE my Facebook page! Thanks!
It isn't a fire burning the countryside but a rainstorm is passing far away, between my home and the alps, the air of the sunset is limpid and dry, and the view can go far far away.
This is the stunning, unbelievable, show the sunset of yesterday over the Oltrepo hills.
