A voir sur fond noir.

Este macho de Anax parthenope apareció una tarde en una pequeña charca que visitaba muy a menudo en Tentegorra, Cartagena. Debía estar cansado porque hacia vuelos muy cortos y regresaba al posadero que días antes había colocado para que se posaran cerca de donde yo estaba. Ese año fue mi primera temporada de odonatos, armado con un tele 100-400, tubos de extensión y trípode. Recuerdo esa tarde con mucha alegría porque era la primera vez que veia y retrataba esta espectacular especie.

I fought off a dog with my tripod once....but when I was staring down this guy I thought; I'm gonna need a bigger tripod.

 

I knew my tripod would lose today though. There was me, him and his wife and kids behind him. Behind all of them was where I was going so I backed up the bus and waited. With his unimpressed face I thought what the hell. I'll take a portrait today.

I love art museums, and not only for the art housed within. Art museums often have some of the most amazing interior architectures, offering striking graphical lines and shapes. That's the case with this iconic staircase in the National Museum of Art in Washington DC.

 

The Smithsonian museums are definitely some of the greatest museums in the world, ranging across a wide range of subjects and topics. Each is an excellent place to go and get lost for an afternoon, especially during the hot and muggy summer months in DC.

Didn't get this one square - so it's sooc!! I hope you are not tired of daylilies yet but this will be the last one for a little while ;-)) Please try the lighbox if you have a moment!!

HBW!!!

Đã lâu không gặp:(

I went back to the avenue of trees here in Harpenden again today and as you can see - the people did not clutter my image this time... However today a worse event was occurring as the council had sent in the leaf sweepers!!! Luckily they were just down the bottom end of the avenue and they had clearly swept the road part but there were still enough leaves left for me to capture this image - phew! This is taken without the aid of sunshine today so I did tweak the contrast and reduce the highlight very slightly otherwise untouched. Thank goodness I got there before the council had done their job!

 

Happy Monday Peeps!

و أسأل نفسي لماذا لاأزال أحبك بشغفي القديم !

لماذا لاأستطيع تجاوز حبك والقفز إلي عتبة اخرى أكثر صدقا منك

لماذا لايهذبني فراقك ويجعلني أخشى أن أقبل اعتذارك وأتورط بك لتهديني خيبة للمرة الألف ..!

As the light of another fiery sunset faded over the San Pablo Bay in northern California, the lights on the oil refinery's pier became visible, signaling the onset of night. A tugboat and its wake can be seen in this shot rounding the dock at the end of the pier while Mount Tam, as the locals call it, looms in the background. This is a colorized version of the original, which was created using Color Efex Pro, a plugin from the Google Nik Collection.

This is an old shot (obviously) that I didn't post because it irked me that I didn't quite get my viewpoint precise enough. I also thought the grey, concrete steps were too uninteresting. But looking at it again now, I think the grey, cold concrete actually makes the shot as it contrasts so well with the beautiful vibrant autumn tones and the softness of the fallen leaves. A damp, grey day, made more beautiful by a wonderful carpet - truly a stairway to heaven. And of course I am listening to the song as I write :) !
