Love is in the air, in the whisper of the tree,
Love is in the air in thethunder of the sea,
And I don't know if I'm just dreaming,
Don't know if I feel safe,
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name...
Love Is In The Air ♥ John Paul Young

Königssee
by Martin Schmidt (www.schmaidt.de)
Die Automatik des Passats ist auf D eingeloggt, Google Maps sagt uns, wie es zurück nach Nürnberg geht und unsere Blicke haben nur ein Ziel: die Rückspiegel. Auftrag: die letzte Sicht auf die Berge, die letzten Gipfel mitnehmen. Es braucht nicht lange bis so ein paar Bäume auf Steinbrocken an See einem so richtig Appetit gemacht haben. Mich haben Sie auf jeden Fall infiziert. Ich hätte saumäßig Bock direkt wieder umzudrehen, mich mit Wanderschuhen, meinen beiden Damen, Kamera, Stativ und Filtern zu bewaffnen und wieder irgendwo hochzugehen oder irgendwo einen See zu finden, in den ich stundenlang Stöcke werfe, die mit Begeisterung wiedergeholt werden, während die Kamera belichtet.
Die Zeit in den Berchtesgardener und Chiemgauer Alpen war sehr schön - man muss schon fast "kitschig" sagen. Die Beweise folgen. Hoffentlich sind sie nicht nur für uns, die wir die Szenen vor Ort gesehen und durch Anstiege erkämpft haben, eindrucksvoll.
Den Alpenstart macht der Königssee bei Schönau - direkt umgeben vom König Watzmann. Von Letzterem wird dann später noch mehr zu lesen und sehen sein.

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 :(

Had to have a play today. This is Crummock Water, electrified ! Now, let me think, what did I do? No, can't remember everything. But this involved Topaz Simplify, and a new bit of software I'm trying out before committing myself to a financial outlay, AKVIS Neon. Finished off in Picasa and then PicMonkey for the final touches. The starting photograph was really rather dull, but the sky was nice, I like the dead tree on the shore and the drystone wall, and this is the final result. Some of you will hate this, so .... apologies to you for neglecting you while I played :o)
The title is a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, for those of you who are confused. Don't worry - I am confused most of the time !

Every day a new beginning, a new opportunity to realize our best dreams.
Thanks so much for all, have a nice day :D

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.
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.

The snow is deepening and everything is very quite. When the sun goes down even the snow gets blue. From a mire in Swedish Lapland 24 november 2016

Un coucher de soleil derrière le Fort ! d’où le choix de la pose longue avec un réglage lumière sur le soleil .
Seul sur site ! ou presque ...
A sunset behind the Fort! hence the choice of the long exposure with a light setting of the sun.
Only on site! or almost ...
